Message Alert Poor

Yeah, I noticed my phone dies pretty quick too :/ from mostly just texting, my razr never had that problem before.

I noticed the same thing- that the message alert volume sounds really lwo even though I have it set at the highest (7). Anotehr thing that's pissing me off is that under Soudn Profiles and under Messages, I have the "Message Alert" repetition set to "Periodic" so the sound can periodically go off to let me knwo when there's a missed call, email messat, text message, etc but it never sounds more than once! That's the point of setting it to Periodic- so it will "periodically" play the sound.

"Menu -> Settings -> Sound Profiles -> Normal (or which ever profile you want to customize) -> Press the Down arrow on the top right corner for "Message" -> And Customize your Text Message Notification "

Even AFTER doing this, the message tone is still not loud enough and it DOESNT periodically sound to let you know you have a missed message which is weird because once, it WAS doing that. Also, for the alert box that pops up when you have a new email or text message- the words inside (the time and date of the new message) scrolls accross the screen sometimes and sometimes it doesnt. These are annoying "bugs" IF they even are bugs at all.

What is a firwmare update? ANd how do you check for  updates Once you check for updates on the phone it'sll improve certain functions on your phone or what? THANX! 

Thanks! Do you just go into your phone menu to add the "firmware" update?? Under the Software Update application??

I know what you mean but...this still doesnt help. Here's why: first off, the melody tone shouldnt even be increasing in volume becuase udner Settings and Sound Profiles, I have the "Call alert type" set to  "Melody" not "Increasing Melody" yet the melody still starts low then gets louder. (?)  Also, one thing I cant figure out is under "messages" for the drop down menu under Sound Profile, Normal,  I have the Message alert repitition set to "Periodic" which means when you miss a call, message or email alert, the phone should sound off with your selected tone every few minutes until you check or disarm the alert.  It doesnt do it though! You get ONE alert when you miss a call and that's it. No "periodic" tone repietiions. I think this is a bug.

So how long does it usually take before new phones come out with the updates??? I keep checking my phone under "Software Update". Hey! Iknow! Maybe they have made updates but that's just another glitch right. The updates arent showing, and they're working on that too~
Just teasing!! I dont mean to sound so.
