thanks for your help…another question, my previous samsung mobile had the facilaty to keep ringing when a message has been received, does the omnia have this, as it was rather good.

I take this to mean you want a setting that ‘beeps’ or ‘alerts’ you to a message being received, rather than the phone continously ringing until you pick it up and check it?

While I’m yet to find a setting which lets the Omnia *ring* continously when a message is received- you can get your omnia to alert you to it.

By going into your Settings (Personal Tab)-> Sounds & Notifications->Notifications-> In this area you can change the notications of different things. If you change the ‘Event’ type to New SMS Message, while you cannot choose for it to ‘repeat’, you can select for ther light to flash for a period of time. I knot it’s not a perfect solution,  but this might be better than nothing.

Again, if anyone knows of a way around this, please let us know!

by the way great site, well done”

Hey Graziella! I’ve had a thorough look around on the phone & there unfortunately is no quick answer to this. Unlike any other phone I’ve had also, I can’t find in any normal place a quick list of all call durations. I would have thought that this would be in the ‘call log’ app, but directly, it’s not! While this isn’t a major thing for most of us, I understand how you’d be using it, and think it’s a good idea!

What I did find was that if you open your ‘Call Log’, it lists times for each of them. These screen shots are my last few calls (I don’t call much).

When you open the Call Log, the call duration for each individual call is shown here

If you then select the contact from Call Log, you will be presented with a screen like this.

If you then Click Open Calls at the bottom Left, you will get an itemised call list for the Contact. This lists the calls duration for the contact.

I haven’t yet come across anywhere which will simply tell me the total call duration for ALL calls, but I’m determined that it must be hidden somewhere! If anyone can help with this, let us know! Thanks!
