Just have to get this off my chest.
Spend €600 on a phone, you expect that it will ring when someone calls. That would be a basic feature, not?
Called Palm. They are SO aware of the issue. I asked if they had fix available, they don't. Soft reset does not fix my non-ringing issue. Need to hard-reset it now to see if ringer comes back.
[So ]

Merci AP - but I was not looking for help on this one, and certainly not your search advice. As I wrote, just had to get that of my chest. I've read the threads.

Hi there,
Installed the Crossbow version of WM6. It's really good apart from a few annoying probs.
- My backlight button doesn't work! So I can only turn on the phone using the 'POWER' button. VERY annoying!! Anyone know how this can be reprogrammed?
- When sending a SMS Text, the 'NEW' button has gone and now is replaced by the 'DELETE' short cut. This means that it more clicks to send a SMS. Again a bit annoying.
Any ideas how I can get passed these problems??

Not sure on your backlight issue as have not used that particualr rom.
Is there not an option to remap the buttons in settings?
As far as SMS issue, if you go to contacts, you can simply right click on a contact to send a new SMS, or if you are in messaging it's just one extra click, menu, new.
You can always install the "New Menu for WM5" applet which will replace your
calendar and give you the functionality you had in WM5, new note sms etc.
A simple search on the forums should bring up the cab for you.
Hope this helps

Thanks for that. I will have a look.
The 'NEW' button just meant I could create a text really quickly without tapping too many buttons. I know its only one extra click but its annoying
Also it means I might delete texts by mistake!

I use this app and think it really transforms WM6. Very useful, takes up no system resources significantly and is customisable (I have it as the left option button in the today screen, with new SMS, new Word doc, new contact, and a couple others).
Recommended.
OK will search for it
Anyone know how to fix the LIGHT button issue????

Hi,
Can you explain in more detail what your Backlight button issue is?
Are you syaing the backlight doesnt turn on/stay on I'm a little confused as to what you require. (maybe I need more sleep)
Cheers ,

could be a nice replacement for the now defunct videocall button..
but i think this is a really annoying problem, which by the way is not affecting everyone as far as I can see..it must be solved since these solutions are a good replacemente, but that's it, a replacement...are there any ideas about the origin of this issue?

yes i has the same problem not just with wm6 but also after i had downgraded my jasjar to wm5.0 latest rom so what i did was i searched and downloaded a program called button mapper or map or somthing like that or better yet if youve got the SPB pocket program it will allow you to reconfigure your hardware button for Backlight to switch to " Screen toggle" otherwise this function is not usually available to reconfigure.

Fair play.
I did try and search but found F-All. I'd like to see your search string that brings up this finding. I am not going to spend my whole day searching
Anyway the other problem still exists re: New Button
But thanks for helping regarding the backlight button, I can confirm it NOW WORKS!

I do not have any problems since i don't even have wm6, I was just wondering about the origin (not solution) of this problem another user had and begging for the expert to solve those annoying bugs; moreover I suggested a small and personal solution for his problem, so it's not my task to search for something I don't even need. please next time read carefully before reproaching who is not involved in the fact!
Moreover, I think I'll have a prize for having used since the first time the function "search", one of the few, and having always begged for pardon when many pointless researches obliged me to post about a topic already discussed

Have a look HERE
A lil work around to allow the video call button to be used to create a new SMS message.
I was going to tell you to use the search function too, and show you how my search for "new sms" or "sms" brings up that result...but when I tried using those terms it brought up nothing?!? Searching for "softkey" does bring up my post. Maybe you have to enter words with more than 3 characters for the search to work, which is a bit annoying!
Either way, hopefully the link provided will be of use...

my appoligies to you, i did not intend to qoute you, but once i did i was too lazy to change it..
however if you look at the second link...you will find the origin of the problem.
Ok so I understand that this is probably a setting that i must of overlooked but i've been trying to find information about it for the past few days now. A few days back i changed the option to XDA classic but decided i didn't like it so i changed it back. This is around the time i noticed the search button missing and ontop of that its overlaying on the screen messed up. It didn't do this before and i'm not sure what i did or if maybe XDA is just improving their search button and thats why i'm having problems but its starting to bother me big time. I really did search for the answers as best i could without having use of the search button but i came up empty handed. Also if i got to my name it normally brought me right to the statistics where i could find my posts and so forth but now it brings me to About Me. No big deal though since all i need to do its select statistics which is right next to it but when i go to find posts i was in or threads i started i get "vBulletin Message, Searching has been disabled". Who disabled it and if it was me how can i enable it again? I would be very greatful if someone could shed some light on this and tell me what i'm doing wrong. UHGG!! I feel so stupid because i know its probably something small i'm doing wrong.
It's problem w/ board and admins are working to fix it.
Patience.
Huge thanks.
As i said i wasn't sure if it was something i was doing but i noticed it right when i was changing the style around. Thats a huge releif knowing it wasn't from something I did. I have no problem waiting patiently.
I dropped my phone and now the volume buttons rarely works.So is there a app i could use to control the music/call volume?thanks.
Sorry it didnt show the other thread i posted...close this one please.
Volume slider
Yes, there is an app for that, but only if you have a dev-unlock phone
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577919
Don't know of one for fully locked phones.

What about one for call volume?This one is good for master volume but for call volume it doesn't work.
Not aware of any app for in-call volume.
I can see how that might be a problem for you if the volume buttons don't work at all.
Maybe you wanna PM the developer for that app and ask for it to be added?
Alternatively, is it that the volume buttons don't work at all? or do they not work well? You might consider taking off the back cover and trying to improve the contact with the push buttons. (Use small regular screwdriver at 45 degree angle if you have one of those 3 prong screws). Don't know which device you have, but if you check the forum for that phone, many have directions about how to take off back cover (mainly for updating memory card)
Hi,
I have the same problem too. This app works like a charm but not for in-call.
I am not sure if the developer could do something about it.
Unfortunately, because I have less than 10 posts, I am unable to reply in a dev thread.
I have tried to send an email, but not a private message, to the developer and he has not replied so I don't know if he got it or not.
I dont want to email him again cause it would be rude.
Anyone has any idea if it would be possible at least?
Cheers
Hi guys,
No answer to my post
Has anyone the same problem?
Would anyone mind to ask the developer?
Thank you in advance
Ok in case anyone is interested in this:
There is a solution to change the in-call volume manually, it s not an app but it does the job pretty well
see this thread:

All credits go to Localhorst86 for finding the tweak.
...and other times I just get a "beep" where I can say Call John. I'd prefer one or the other - more specifically the latter. Can anyone shine a light on this? I am thinking that it has something to do with Swype/Dragon vs. Google's version, but how can I disable one and still keep the other features?
If anyone knows, thanks in advance!! Been bugging me for a long time....
Sorry to ask again, but can anyone confirm this issue or even better, make a suggestion on how to fix it? The only thing I didn't mention in the original post was that I'm using a wired headset where I push and hold the button on it.

I can confirm that something has been recently "pushed" down to our phones. I used to get "Say Call, followed by name or number" when using a long-press on a BT headset(plantronics). I now simply get the beep.
Also, it now seems to be a *requirement* for google to have your contacts, as it now tells me "Sure, but when its safe, please unlock your phone and enable device information" when I try to make a call. Bummer. I liked the local "lookup" mode and really don't want all my phone numbers linked to my google account. I tried downgrading "google play services", but it goes to the factory version which is way too old... it seems more difficult if you just want to go back a few months, not to the original version installed on your phone.
Hello, on my new zfold2 the incoming call screen does not show when calls arrive. The phone rings, but the lock screen remains, basically i cannot answer the call until I unlike the device, go to the pull down menu and then see the incoming call to be able to answer it. I've searched whether there is a setting for this, but nothing...anyone can help me? thanks.
Same here. Fix?

I have not found anything yet. Must be a setting issue, i Hope!
Same here.
I've been using the Google dialer since using this phone and have had no issues. Not sure if this is really the answer that you're all looking for, but it may be a workaround for you until the stock phone app is updated.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
I too was facing issues with the stock phone dialer, though the issue was different. It was not registering my touch or registering it after repeated attempts while wanting to make calls. Touch screen otherwise works fine.
Using a different Dialer now - True Phone app. and all issues of touch have been sorted out.
I had that problem, turns out for my problem was that I had do not disturb turned on. Doubt that's the same for you guys but just thought id share. Thanks.
Have you found any solution?
