For some reason my wife doesn't like my headboard buzzing & chiming all night long whenever I receive an E-mail. As I only have a cell & no land line I need my phone to ring during the night if I get a call, but want to mute everything else. For now I disabled E-mail notifications, but that's a pain to turn on and off ever morning/night.
On my old Windows Mobile AT&T Fuze I just set Active Sync to only sync during the daytime, so that effectively muted it at night.
Anybody have any thoughts?
I've got a new AT&T Samsung Captivate freshly rooted, although i'd imagine this is more of a generic Android question.
I had the exact same issue and my solution was to use Timeriffic and APNDroid to automatically turn off my data connection at night and turn it back on in the morning. Those are both free apps and they're both in the market. Just note the funky spelling on Timeriffic.

Sound Manager in the market will allow you to turn off email notifications and leave the ringer on for phone calls.
Try AudioManager as well.

Thank you very much for using AND suggesting Timeriffic. If you have any feedback we are listening. Thanks again.
On my Captivate I'm using "Good Night!". Mine is set so that only phone calls come thru and nothing else notifies audibly. You can pick the hours and even say what numbers you want to come through.

So it seems that the Dialer on my Nexus S is killing my battery. I noticed over a last few days that it will be at 40% or more of battery usage. It seems it keeps the phone awake. Anyone had this happen?
no one out there has noticed an unusual Dialer activity causing the phone to be awake?
Stock or custom rom?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
i just looked at my phone and the Dialer is at 40%, then Display at 16%. I'm on 2.3.2 stock.
2% here for me, right at the bottom of the list.
Stock 2.3.2
It's very intermitent. It's fine today. I bet it'll be back up after another restart.
Dialer was at 17% here about two hours ago, restarted and it's calmed down. This has happened about three days in a row. Hard to replicate though
CPU Total: 4m 45s
CPU Foreground: 18s
Keep Awake: 1h 6m 12s
Trying to figure out what the trigger for this is. Do you have a bluetooth that you make phone calls with by chance?
Have you by chance tried clearing the data of the dialer in applications settings > dialer?

I haven't but last night I let my battery drain dead. So far today Dialer is at 2%. There is some sort of trigger that makes it stick, just gotta figure out what that trigger is.
Nope. I do not use a BT headset. Mine did it today again. Went into "all apps" and force stopped dialer storage. Phone lost signal for about 30 seconds, then came back. No change in activity since then, as in it stopped running.
Has anyone in this thread having the problem by chance turned on the Internet Calling SIP accounts. I just realized that the Dialer seems to be keeping the Wifi active. I did set up my SIP Gizmo5 account and turned on allow to "receive incoming calls (reduces battery life)." I'm thinking this may be what's causing it.
I got this Dialer issue as well last night. This has been couple of times. But, I did not know what might the root cause until recently. Well, still don't know, but I might know "when" it can happen. At least I noticed this several times.
Dialer is awake when I set my phone to use WiFi ... AND ... WiFi sleep policy = NEVER.
So, when my phone is turned off, the WiFi is still active.
Then the Dialer is also awake for some reason.
If I use 3G, this has never happened.
I am using stock ROM 2.3.2, not-rooted.
Is there any app that can "monitor" and find out why the Dialer is awake?
Or, is there any app that can do background logging? Logging Android activity while device is OFF.
Have you set up internet phone? SIP phone under call settings?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
No, I don't set that.
I just re-checked:
Internet Call Settings:
Accounts -> Receive Incoming Calls [ ] (unchecked)
Nothing under SIP Accounts
Use Internet Calling
(*) Only for Internet Calls
Should I change "Ask for each call" ?

I don't think that will matter. I turned off my SIP calling, don't know if it will solve my issue. Was hoping yours was the same.

My buddy with a Nexus S just reported the same issue. Dialer taking 12%, no SIP installed. Wifi Sleep Policy to be off when the screen is off. Hasn't made a phone call in two days according to him. I'm running out of ideas. Mine hasn't kicked in the past two or three days, I'll keep an eye out still.
In case anyone hasn't seen my post on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10801621&postcount=1
Since I don't have a SIM in (and the phone is in airplane mode all day, every day), I'm thinking it has something to do with SIP calling as I have a Gizmo account set up, set to receive incoming calls. Also, the turn over silence thing didn't help me at all.

I still have never seen the "turn over for silence" option. I think it's specific to CM7 or other custom roms, it's not on the stock rom unless I'm missing something.
I saw these two apps in a thread (or 2) a few days ago, and now for the life of me I can't find them (yes, I searched, maybe just not the right terms)...
First: There was an apps that made it do that texts going to your Android phone also came to the Transformer, then you could reply from the tablet and it also went out 'from' you phone number. It basically made it so that when people text your phone number you can read and reply transparently from the TF. Anyone know what this was???
Second: This was an app that allowed you to have a widget for wifi tether on the TF, and that would trigger the wifi tether on the phone to start-up via bluetooth, then when you turned off/locked the TF it would turn off tether on the phone. Awesome idea, I wanna try it... Anyone know what it was???
SyncSMS was the first one.
AutoTether was the second one.
Also TextTab for sms sync
That wifi app sound great,
And google voice sync.

It is.
I love getting tethered without even taking my phone out of my pocket.
And not only does it start your tethering app and do all the hard work....it also turns your tethering app off when you're done!
It's well worth the few bucks it cost.
just switched from HTC inspire to the infuse. I rooted my infuse the very first day. My problem is that it will not auto connect to remembered wifi specially my home wifi. I have to restart the phone all the time. Another problem is that my yahoo email doesnt sync right away with my phone. Last one I got was at 11:37PM and i had a few that came in overnight. Unlike my inspire once the email was rcvd it will also sync with my inspire
any suggestions?
Thanks
I just switch off the wifi and turn it back on..... No need to restart the phone i guess... Yes, not all times it connects automatically...

You are using the included client called "Email" ?
while the program is open, try clicking the menu button, then choose "account settings" and check out "check email frequency" and "email notifications"
Wifi: Have you played around with going to Settings: "wireless and network" / "wifi settings"
This is a common bug found on the Infuse. Everyone I've talked to has the same problem. Once the Wifi connection has been established, it won't be able to connect to another router. What you can do to solve the problem is to turn the wifi on and then turn it back on. This way, you can turn the wifi off when you're not using the phone and it'll save you battery too. Hope that helps!
What you need to do is hard reset your phones

That's horrible advice, when turning off wifi and turning it back on is more than sufficient.
It seems to be a fundamental power management problem with our wifi chipset that seems to affect EVERY device I've used with said chipset. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 has the same problem.
Screw Broadcom. I hate them.

Try "forgetting" your home connection and then connect to it again.
I only experienced that problem once and found that it was actually my router not my phone.

The native email app is horrible. I had the same issues and installed Kaiten mail. Its worked flawlessly for my yahoo and gmail accts.
To stream netflix, just use your hdmi adapter. then set your usb settings to media player. It will streams just fine. I do this all the time and it works great.

LOL. I went to At&T earlier and the guy told me that my LED indicators are not working so he told me to call Amazon. I called Amazon and they sent me a new one.
I'm just reading the manual now and it is not a LED indicator its actually a proximity sensor lol.
Is there any way to change the primary shortcut contents?
Hi,
I have a friend that has the touchpad and she set up a few e-mails on it. When she switches between wireless networks (like home to work, etc) e-mail will no longer sync unless she completely reboots the tablet. We've tried throwing away the e-mail app (whatever that is where you slide the app up to close it) and we tried putting it into airplane mode and back and nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Fixes?

Do you mean the stock email app? (not that I have used any other!)
I have several accounts set up in mine and they work flawlessly so far.
You mention restarting the tablet, did you try just a Luna restart?
Is there a difference between the networks? Is one open and the other WPA2 or something?
I have seen something similar when going from one network to another, where the wifi has to be switched off and on to flush the settings for the network.

Hey guys,
Tried searching for this, but nada.
Anyone else having issues with your phone being idle but powered on ans upon bringing on the screen you receive a google talk notification that's old? Is been happening to me lately, and I can't tell if it's the phone or the fact that my desktop version is intercepting the message and preventing the phone notification.
I'm tempted to no longer use the desktop built in gmail version, but I wanted to see if others are having similar issues.
Thanks in advance!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Can't guarantee this, but I have a feeling it may have something to do with the phone letting the Google talk process close when the phone is in it's sleep state. I've noted that I keep having to re sign in to gtalk when I wake up my phone and suspect that it is an issue with the horrible multitasking that HTC has bundled into sense 4.0.
I assume both of you also get delayed notifications with push email using the native Gmail app? I also frequently get logged out of Google Talk when I put the phone in standby mode. When I am logged out of Google Talk, my push emails are delayed in the Gmail app until I log back into Google Talk.
So it seems to be some problem of getting disconnected from google services when the phone is asleep.
I don't think i've been getting delayed notifications, but I do notice that my chat gets out of order a lot. My replies will be above whoever is talking to me no matter what order each was sent in.
Almost every phone that comes out gets a google talk going eventually so there is lots out there, but each phone has it's own issues. Here is a thread that was pretty good from the Galaxy Nexus Forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400367
With the HOX I have had issues with Google Talk not working great when the wifi is dropping, so this might be part of the wifi issue that pretty much everybody is having with this phone. The wifi stays connected but seems to go to sleep so your phone only gets the notification once it is woken up. Try turning off the wifi and seeing if you have the same problem.
As for Google Talk, there are some oddities that go along with using it on multiple devices. Here is some stuff I figured out playing around with it on multiple devices and computers at the same time. (I posted this in the GN forums as well)
"Google Talk is my main means of communication it seems so I have played with it a lot. Here are my observations.
1. To keep it "up" all the time in the Talk App hit the menu button (three dots now) >settings>uncheck automatic away status. Also make sure your phone has automatic syncing turned on for your gmail account: Setting>Accounts and Sync>ON (for your chat gmail address anyway). Additionally make sure your mobile data is turned on if you are ever off wifi: Settings>More>Mobile networks>Data Enabled (checked to turn on)
2. You can have up to 6 devices linked to your talk account at once, after that they just stop working.
3. When you receive a IM it appears on both your phone and your gmail account. If you start typing on the gmail account (or G+) it hijacks the whole session and you phone no longer gets the notifications, but the conversation still shows up on the chat window on the phone. When you are done with the IM session make sure you close the window on gmail (or G+) and send one last message from your phone or tablet to take the session back over, if you don't your phone will not receive future chat notifications. You can also just log out of your gmail/G+ session and it will automatically return everything to your phone/tablet but who ever does that?
4. To figure out how it all worked and tinker with it I use both of my gmail accounts and chat back and forth with them. You can do it from separate browsers or just open an incognito window in Chrome and log into your other gmail account. I would recommend this so you can see all of this stuff in practice.
Good Luck, hope this helps"
Gtalk and gmail delays
Hi all,
I have performed tests and discovered that if i disable WiFI and only use the phone's data connection "4g" or LTE that i receive all my messages with no problem even when the phone locks/goes to sleep. However if i leave wifi turned on, within 5-10 seconds i stop receiving them and will only receive them when i wake up the phone/unlock or wait for the delay which can be anywhere from 5-15 mins.
Trying to figure out a way to by pass this, but can't seem to figure it out. I don't want to keep my wifi off when i'm at work or home so i don't use data as i have 3GB and not unlimited so it kind of sucks that i have to keep wifi off for now. Any thoughts/ideas would be great, thanks.

This. I have issues with timely/accurate reception of notifications from GV. I only use my account for voicemail, but typically I only get voicemail notifications if I open the actual application (which I do because my gmail account receives an email notification now, as well). Sometimes I notice GV as a running task, but often times not, so to me it seems that (possibly) multitasking or some other form of process management in ICS or Sense is not prioritizing the GV process and it's associated actions. I dont mind the aggressive multitasking, but it would be nice to have the option of protecting some processes, such as GV.
I removed google + app completely with titanium backup, and the problem is gone., I get the messages immediately

I tried everything not even this works for me
Same problem, screen off - phone disconnects, unlock the phone - messages start to appear
Same problem on 2 different phones and 2 different numbers
I don't use G Talk, but I see the same thing with G Voice. I almost never get voicemail notifications on my HOX (they show up instantly on my old GNex). I blame Sense (for this and other things).
Same problem, but with Nexus 4 when I am on WiFi. With data connection, it works without problems.
