Android Alarm Clock - General Questions and Answers

Whenever I set an alarm on my G1 (both rooted and factory), it would sound even if the phone was powered off. Now I have the Motorola Cliq and it, unfortunately, does not share the same functionality. Does anyone know if there's a way to implement that feature from the G1 to the Cliq? Or if its hardware or software based...I would think software based but I could be wrong.

i think'' it's about rom

[Q] How to change the intensity of vibrate feedback?

Hi!
How to change the intensity of vibrate feedback (when pressing soft keys and on certain UI interactions)?
Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0.
Thanks!
I would like to know too, if this is possible in Endymion sense 3.5 rom.
Thank you.
I don't know where is exactly on edymion because I have never used it, but from my experience I think this issue might be implemented on your rom. In case of cyanogen you can find it diving into some UI menus, but it's an option, I mean it's not a typical fuction on AOSP rom.
Yeah, I think that's a feature the ROM developer has to put in. I've only been using lowveld roms and I've never seen it on those but apparently CM has it

Is there anyway possible to DISABLE microsoft tell me

This is the most annoying POS program I have ever seen , whether I have a stock rom or custom rom this annoying program pops up whenever it wants usually while Im doing something , but it also just starts for no reason while sitting on a table ! Yes I turned it off in setting , that doesnt turn it off , that doesnt do sh1t , I mean at least have an on off button for this annoyance , anyone know of a place in the registry to cut this off (gooddaytodie, heathcliff,Jax ???)!!
It's easy enough to remove it from a custom ROM, but if you're getting the app triggering randomly like that, it's probably not a software problem. That sounds like a hardware issue, with either the capacitive buttons being too sensitive (a problem some phones will exhibit, especially while plugged into a charger and then laid on their backs) or with something in the case being messed up. I've had TellMe trigger a few times when I was gripping the phone really hard playing Z0mb1es, but not since then and never while just lying there.
I was hoping Id get your attention and yes I figured it was a hardware issue with the capacitive buttons , but is there any way to disable tell me and yet retain the actions of the capacitive buttons? its really annoying , it may be a hardware issue however after researching this its quite prevalent on the new nokia phones as well I am using a samsung 1st gen focus and I do have a custom rom , if you can point to the right location in the registry to remove this pest I would be appreciative , I will report back to you to let you know how it works out?
Thanks again GDTD , always pleasure hearing from you!
I know of no way to just "disable" it, though that's probably just because I haven't looked. It's part of WebSearch.exe, which if removed or renamed would prevent TellMe from launching (it would also break the other functions of that app, though, such as the barcode scanner and Bing Music).
The Focus is indeed the device I've most commonly heard complaints of having over-sensitive buttons / touchscreen that occasionally push* themselves. I've never tried, but I've heard there's a tool - in the Diagnostics app, I think - that lets you adjust the buttons. Maybe that would help?
* I was going to say "touch", but that... didn't look right.
Thats exactly what I was thinking that there might be some controls in diagnosis that adjust the sensitivity , but, alas I dont know what they would be , if you have the time could you look for me?
I don't have any Samsung phone, and the Diagnostics app is completely different between OEMs. You're better off just doing some searches of the forums, especially the Focus sub-forum.
yep I have been, I used to know all the good codes , but I guess I will have to start searching again, thanks anyway! I think I might be heading back to Android ,after this fone has run its course , just so much you can do with the platform ,unlike windows and crapple ! I am really ticked off how Microsoft keeps sabotaging itself , win 8 phone kills win 7 phone as win 7 phone killed mobile , every two years ,ya have to start all over again ,you will never catch apple and wont even catch a dream of android!

[Q] Home Screen Rotation Failure and Time and Date reset

I am a complete noob to smartphones and the Relay is my first.
I have a stock, unrooted, unmolested T-mobile $400 prepaid Galaxy S Relay 4G, did the update to Jelly Bean via wi-fi. I've already sent one in for replacement because of the following problems, and the new one behaved the same way.
1. The home screen and pulldown menu do not rotate by gyroscope regardless of the screen rotate setting. This would not be a big deal, except that when the phone comes out of the box, they do rotate (it also rotates to keyboard when keyboard is open). The current phone stopped rotating after I did the update but the old one definitely stopped rotating before then, not sure why or when. It seems subzerobob had this same problem but I can't find any resolution he might have enjoyed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35827475&postcount=748
2. Every time the phone is turned off and on, the time and date setting reset to default which seems to be "automatic time/automatic time zone". This does not work for my purposes and I find it extremely irritating besides.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here or even just explain why these things are happening? I feel like I'm going crazy and can hardly find any similar complaints, and T-mobile has been useless, verging on hostile ever since I bought this cursed thing.
If I recall correctly, the chipset used by our phone has the persistent real time clock disabled by default. And not just in our phone, but any phone that uses it. Apparently there's some sort of bug in it. I believe the people putting together our CM rom have successfully enabled it though.

Old Handy broke, Moto G3 as replacement for the repair time

Hello from germany.
My LG G5 just broke and i send it in for repair. A friend handed me an old Moto G3 so i have a phone until i get mine back. Which i was told, coud take up to 8 weeks :crying:
Years ago, i loved to play, flash and tweak my phones, but as a working single mom, i lost the time to do so and i just needet my phone to "work".
Right know i'm quite irritated with the alarm clock and the camera app. I know its not a wise thing, to compare a Moto G3 with a LG G5, but surprisendly its not the speed that brothers me.
What I'm missing is the possibility to have diffrent volume settings for diffrent alarms.
Like low setting for wakeup, Max Settings for the playground and so on.. And yes, the alarm clock is my most used feature to manage my daily shedule.
And the camera app is just Ugh.. Yeah i know, i'm spoiled
Any suggestions, how i could "fix" my problems?
The G3 has an unlooked bootloader and runs with the latest stockrom right and i have permission to do what ever i want with the device.
Thanks for any suggestions
Eismaus
I was looking at alarm clock apps and found one that has different volume for each alarm. Maybe it will work for you.

Cheers!
I don't think your problem is the ROM, but the apps... There are literally hundreds of alarm clock and camera apps in the Play Store, none of which require rooting or a custom ROM (although changing the "default" camera on a Moto can be tough without root).
I can't really suggest any specific apps, I have used Camera ZOOM FX in the past and enjoyed it (got the Premium version for like 10 cents years ago on a special), and @grantdb mentioned an alarm clock app, but otherwise it is trial and error and Google searches.

Android 12 default screenshotter doesn't take screenshots of the locked screen

I was told that for reporting bugs with Android I should post on this forum and not contacting Google, so here I am, reporting.
Nokia G21 (finally) received its update to Android 12 and while the main problem was fixed, another one appeared: the default screenshotter which you can access from the swipe down control center doesn't hide and doesn't take a screenshot of the locked screen like it used to do on Android 11. Instead, it takes a screenshot of the control center and also hides the background, making it black. I have the same image as background (or wallpaper, if you will) for both home screen and locked screen. And yet, when you press "Screenshot" while the screen is locked, that wallpaper is hidden and there's only black background with the control center opened - that's what the screenshotter takes a picture of.
So, if you could make the screenshotter behave like it used to on Android 11, that would be great.
I am afraid you just got pranked... unless you got your phone's ROM from here (then you could tell the dev and hope for improvement).
@rado1984bg,
As @SigmundDroid indicated, someone lied to you when they told you to report bugs with a stock ROM here instead of directly to either OEM Nokia or Google. I haven't owned Nokia devices, but since almost every OEM uses their own customized "flavor" of Android, the bug(s) might be Nokia-specific, so you would have to see if there is a way to report issues to them.
Sometimes helpful users here, in your case in the Nokia G10 / G20 / G21 section, can provide workarounds for some issues, although I'm just guessing that issue will have to be fixed by Nokia. Sometimes when there are workarounds, they require a rooted device, which is another can of worms, and I again claim ignorance about Nokia devices with regard to unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting.
Even if you can, just the possibility alone doesn't mean you should root your device, and rooting a device by itself - without a known workaround, won't fix the issue you're experiencing.
