Repeat Notifications on Incredible

[theblackabbot]

Is there a way to get notifications on the Incredible to repeat (aside from the tiny LED flashing).  It seems that when I get a text, voicemail, missed call, email, whatever it is, it makes the sound I have selected once and that is it (or vibrates once). 

I need this device to make repeated notifications or vibrations when I miss a call, get voicemail or text, email or whatever.

Does anyone have any suggestion for this predicament?

i'd like to know as well....if ANYONE out there has a fix for this?????

I am not aware of a "fix" for this phone. I do know you can get an app like Handcent that's totally customizable for testing purposes. Email, and voicemail, I don't know. I guess if you had visual voicemail, and Handcent reminders you could fix that problem? Maybe some sort of text alert for an email? We'll have to wait and see if 2.2 brings these minor improvements someday. Best of luck!

I thought I had already answered this.  Somewhere around page 4 or 5 there is a question about notifications I think about Voicemail.  Just a cursory search brought up the following.

I only recently noticed that this happens.  I have been using Android for almost 7 months now and it just dawned on me that I only get one notification.  I am sure there is a way to do it perhaps an app or something.  Sorry I can't help you more than that.  I usually look at my phone periodically.  If I have been away from it for very long I look at it when I get back to make sure I didn't miss something.  My wife gets antsy if I don't answer or reply promptly.  I have ADD too so sometimes I am busy and can't look at it when the notification happens so in case I just ignored one and forgot I look at it periodicaly when I think it is odd that I haven't gotten anything in a while.  I get a ton of e-mails in a day so if I go more than an hour or two without an e-mail I start to wonder why.  I did have an app once that had something to do with notifications.  It allowed me to change the color of the LCD depending on what the message was so I could see it.  I don't remember but I think there may be a way to use it to make it beep periodically till you look at an alert. 

Ah found this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.ru-ora ngesoftware-areminder-jqt.aspx  and http://www.androlib.com/android.application.edges- android-reminder-twEE.aspx   The first one works with e-mails and texts the second with texts and missed phone calls. 

Now before that link gets edited out Androlib is just a repository of Apps in the Android market.  It shows what is in the market and the information.  It isn't anything weird or whatever gets these things erased it is just a common resourse for Android to allow you to browse the market apps on the big screen with a little more information about who makes it and where to get developer information about it.  The above is just a link to information about an app available for free in the Android market it is nothing more than that.  Please do not erase it.  I am trying to help.

thx fezzik.....i'll check it out when i have some time. i thought there was an old thread on this, but couldn't find it. thx again.

Hi.  I understand that you want to have repeat notifications on your Android phone.  I certainly did look into this for you.  Fezzik is absolutely correct!  You can actually search through application in the app market to fit your needs.    You can search for another messaging application that will do that.  An example would be Handset.

Please let me know if you have any other questions

Thanks!

No problem.  I hadn't thought about it but after it was mentioned I noticed how many times I had messages and didn't know it because not only does it not repeat notifications but it doesn't notify you of every e-mail, just the first one and if you don't check it they just stack with no notifications.  I also found I would hear it but be busy and then forget I had heard it and later look at it and have missed something I needed to see or reply to quicker.  I still haven't downloaded any of these but might just do it soon.  If I think about it when I am not busy.  LOL.
