multiple notification required.
 

I know that most of us get enough messages that nagging notification is not necessary, but my sister is a VET and the SMS that she receives are very important (on call).

Is there an app that makes the "SMS sound" notification run at certain intervals until the sms is read?

SMS Tone + works great, you can find it in Nokia store.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

I would like to point you to package 'callnotify'.
Works perfectly, exactly what you need. Configurable timing.
Maybe you need to get latest bug-free version from extras-devel or directly from repo package page.

Is he speaking of the N900 or N9 though?

Re: multiple notification required.
 

how do I do that? I'm pretty sure I have extras-testing also in my list and the version I've gotten is buggy --- buggy in that it doesn't seem to always work.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

I don't see that in the application manager? Paid app?

Re: multiple notification required.
 

Buggy yes, but in a way that it rang again and again and did not stop anymore. But always worked ...

If you ask that way, please ask pali to push that version to testing.

Or if you like to learn, here is the link
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...otify/0.3.0-1/
to the latest version.
get root and install with
dpkg -i callnotify_0.3.0-1_i386.deb
But as it has a few dependencies, you may fail.

So enabling extras-devel in HAM is another way, but you should know what you are doing. Settings for devel you may fetch from testing repo and exchange testing with devel. Be warned.

Urm...

is 0.3.0-2 bad, then --- it seems to be an upgrade to the -1 that you're advocating...

Re: multiple notification required.
 

I am using callnotify for that purpose on the N900, & it works very well.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

Ahem,...
Sorry! Posted wrong link from testing, devel 0.3.0-2 it should have been
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....0-2_armel.deb

But it seems you already have that version !
So what kind of problems you have? And would you mind to post/ask them in callnotify thread, so maybe yrannadx/pali are notified and can solve, if there are still bugs (I do not know of, working just fine for me)?

Re: multiple notification required.
 

OK. So I have the right version. Really 2 classes of things it does wrong:

a) It sometimes doesn't repeat notify --- seems somewhat random... haven't got more useful things to say here.

b) It resets the "tone" to the default for at least ring tones and SMS tones. Very unuseful ... and the default tones are rather quiet.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

Actually... another thing it seems to screw up is the alarm --- again I have a custom mp3 chosen --- which plays in the part of the alarm app that chooses it, but doesn't play when the alarm sounds (the default sound is played).

Re: multiple notification required.
 

If it is unreproducable and even more you cannot give details how/when this 'bug' appears, there is no chance. Nevertheless please post in announce thread.

Are you on CSSU?
With the latest version of CSSU this problem arised. Nothing to do with callnotify.

Both symptoms never showed up on my device.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

Is there any way I might get the source code so I don't have to start from zero to fix this? I really need this to work.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...otify/0.3.0-2/
or
http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...otify/0.3.0-2/

Re: multiple notification required.
 

I've been a bit busy --- but I sit down to look at this tonight and I can't reach maemo.org --- ie: those urls.

Re: multiple notification required.
 

Pali is the maintainer, I'd ask on the callnotify thread.
