Default OT I wish my cell phone could....

I want a feature on my cell phone so that when I call it I can push
some buttons and change it from vibrate only to the loudest ring
possible. PIN protected, of course.

I'll bet a bunch of you are wishing for the same thing.

(I used to have "Vib then Ring" but not anymore.)

I wish mine had a built in flash drive that would store my information
on it so that when I go to the dentist or doctor I could enter a pin
number and set it on their USB dock and fill out my form information.

Mine has a microSD card that can be placed in a USB adaptor that essentially
makes it a flash drive. But why not just use a regular flash drive? Of
course that assumes the Doctor's system had the capability of uploading that
data.

You're thinking small, here. Why not set it up with a code that will
just make it jump into your pocket? (even if it's under the seat of the
car out in the detached garage, of course.)

And when a telemarketer calls, you immediately rush out and buy what
they are selling, right?

If there really is such a thing, technology has gone way too far....

Survive a fall onto concrete from a 10 foot ladder (like the old
1960's Western Electric phones could)

I want a feature on mine that provides the same range and sound
quality as the US phones of 20 years ago, or of any third world
country today.

feasible but making cell phones fly isn't - not yet anyway.

You do. The microphone is too ****ing far away from your mouth, and if
you talk in a normal voice, the squelch will kill your voice. Plus the
amount of static and distortion on those damn things is almost
unbearable a lot of the time.

Lots have cell phones have that function. LG calls it "manner mode". You
hold the "*" key and it toggles between vibrate and whatever ring
loudness you have set. I use it a lot to avoid annoying others. Based on
observation I am sure you and I are the only ones interested in doing so.

Yeah, so how do you hold the "*" key while you're calling your cell
phone from another phone in order to locate it? I believe that's Dad's
objective.
