Question about calendar alarm

5 replies · 3,119 views · Started 05 June 2003

I friend of mine had to buy a new phone cause he broke 4(!!!!) in 2 months, so he bought a Nokia 7650. But he's having problems with only one thing: the alarm signal. When you set the phone to vibrate in your profiles, it will standard vibrate and play a ringtone. The agenda/calendar alarm will ring and vibrate too. But if you set the ringing to silent, the phone will just vibrate when someone's calling or sends a message but NOTHING happens when the agenda/calendar alarm goes off. The display is just flashing and no vibrating signal. Does anyone know of a way that you get only the vibrating alert and NO sound? I thought this was rather weird cause I haven't seen this problem with any phone before.

I guess noone knows the solution to this problem huh. So it's just a bad software error, to bad.

just use a silent ringtone! create a wav on your computer with no sound and use eprofiles to change the normal tone and use this one

Yeah I thought of that too so when someone calls or sends a sms it will use just the vibrating alert, but the problem is that when the alarm of the calendar goes off it will vibrate and still play the alarm melody.

(Btw. thanks for your reply)

>when the alarm of the calendar goes off it will vibrate and still play the alarm melody

? if you change it with eProfiles it won't go off.
