I don't know how many of you have noticed this, but it seems to be present on every A100* phone I've seen.

Whenever there is a 'flash message' being displayed other message alerts just don't play. At all.

They wait untill the 'flash message' has been closed (pressing ok) and then play... I know that I've recieved the messages in the background because I can see and read them via the activity menu.

This is a major issue for me because my operator sends me a flash message everytime I do anything. So if I send an SMS and forget to close the flash message I will not get any message alerts untill I notice and close it.

So, if there is a way to disable the recipt of flash messages or otherwise rectify the bug pleese tell me.

I can't stand this any longer!!!

*I've seen it on K750,K790 and my K550i

Flash menus.

Ask your operator to stop sending you flash messages?

I tried that. They said they couldn't because it was an automated thing and there was no mechanism to stop it for just one person.

But seriously, isn't this a bug on the manufacturer's side? Shouldn't it be their responsibility to solve it?

I've seen it across a diverse range of a100 phones and firmwares... dunno if a200 has it.
