Author	C905: No task due notifications while phone is off?

Basically, under Tasks -> Options -> Advanced -> Reminders, there is an option to set task reminders to Always (as opposed to the default, If phone is on). While this does wake up the phone when the task is due, it does not play any sound! In fact, as soon as I press any key, the phone simply shuts down again. Yes, I double-checked that the phone is not in silent mode. Moreover, calendar entry notifications work just fine; the phone wakes up and plays the calendar chime once, as it should. I contacted SE tech support about this issue; I did get the following response: Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Online Support. When you set up a reminder for a task or a calendar, the phone will vibrate and sound once. If the phone is turned off, it will turn on (with the options Always selected from the reminders menu) when the time is up. If your phone is not sounding when the reminder is activated is because the phone is in silent mode. To disable the silent mode you have to press and hold the # button from the stand by mode. Once you deactivate the slient mode you have to test the reminder again and if the phone doesn't sound, you need to perform a software update. The software update for your phone is available at: http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]pdateservice/c905a?lc=en&cc=us If your phone has the latest software update, you can contact us at the phone number listed below for further options. Rather clueless, but at least a response! My question is whether anyone actually has this working? If so, what firmware version are you using? Thanks in advance!
