Settings --> Sounds and Notifications

Octro: Message
Octro: Phone


But be aware I do not think the notification for Phone is configurable...yet. They had some issues with and will hopefully be able to fix in the future. At least now the notifications work consistently (these things are quite finicky on WM5, just ask Bruce at phonealarm :wink: )

Whoops!
got beat to the answer :lol:

I kind of doubt this...

Open a chat with someone (you don't have to actually IM them) and it'll be similar to this picture except now you use the Right soft key instead:

I was talking about the Notification area (where you can select which sound and behaviour for a particular alert)


The other thing they need to fix is Today notification of new messages from users that already have a session

well, if you could make it specific and drop them an email I'm sure they'd be interested (I'm not sure what you mean by a fix for users that already have a session)

If you're already chatting with someone and you leave that chat screen (say go to the today screen), The today screen should show you have a new message like it does when its a first message from a user

Ok i sent them this email

Hello,


Great software, but here are 2 things that really should be addressed:

1) Ringer control from the sounds & notification of wm5

2) If you're already chatting with someone and you leave that chat screen (say go to the today screen), The today screen should show you have a new message like it does when its a first message from a user


Not Bugs but would be nice:

3) An easier way to initiate and more importantly end a call (Also a way to know you are in a voice call, besides the menu, via some sort of a visual q)

4) Ability to choose the earphone instead of the speakerphone for the voice chat (should improve the sound I would think)



Thanks!

Well, I can kinda answer some of those:

1) They are aware of notification customization and will try to figure that out
2) This is certainly something to be considered by them. Good for brining it up.
3) I've mentioned this to them as well and they want to address that
4) This is tricky. I know Skype has never got this to work (it still doesn't) it's either speaker phone or head phone. I think this has to do with how developers have to access the "phone" hardware: simply put, they can't. Much the same reason why "recording" both ways on WM5 devices is nearly non-existent except for 1 or 2 devices which have hardware mods on them. So this is a general WM5/Hardware limitation not a developer short-coming.

Anyways, your feedback is certainly helpful :wink:

Any new updates coming soon ?

So far it's been running very well besides the small problem i mentioned before.
