[Q] Turn off the email sound while on the phone...how? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone knows how to turn off the email notification sound while on the phone on Nexus S. It's extremly annoying and and the other person can hear it as clear as I can? This is the most basic thing and I never had this problem in last 15 years. Thanks...

goto menu->settings then scroll to notification settings
select ringtone->silent
done

All that'll do is switch notification sound to silent at all times. I just want notifications switched to silent when on the phone not at all times.
Thanks for your answer though

Never heard of this issue and sounds very dumb if an alert plays during a phone call. I can't believe it would.

Well, they do! LOL. I noticed it last night while in a call.
Edit: test it yourself. Give yourself a call from another phone, then send yourself an email.

This absolutely should be user configurable within the OS, but it doesn't appear to be.
There's an app called Tasker with a free 7-day trial version that would allow you to setup a work-around.
Tell Tasker that when you're in a call, to turn off notification sounds, and to turn them back on when you end the call.
I'm just now testing the app myself, and it's amazingly powerful in its potential.
edit: On an admin note to the mods...this thread is an example of why even some of we seasoned forum members get confused over where a thread should go. It's clearly a question, seeking a specific answer to solve a problem, and it hasn't been moved to the Q&A section, yet posts that are more general in nature intended to spark discussion are moved to Q&A just because they have a "?" mark in the title or first sentence...

but this is clearly a nexus s specific issue, correct? i'm just trying to think, no other android phone does this that i can tell. certainly my nexus one does not, and i have 4 active simultaneous emails accounts going all day for the last year, exchange account and all. but isnt this something the OS would handle and be common across all devices?
unless its a gingerbread thing...

It appears to be a gingerbread thing.
I just tested it on my SGS with Doc's ROM. No sound heard by either myself or the other party on both email and SMS receipts.
Bug #103 in Gingerbread...?

Is there a website where one can submit bugs like this one so that it can be addressed in the next update? Sounds like an easy fix

Yes, you can go here, but honestly, don't expect quick results. The Google Help forums seem to get more attention, or at least feedback, from real live Google employees.

Thanks distortedloop! I just went to the website and it looks like someone already submitted the bug. Hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks again.

"Star" the issue on there to show you have the problem too, if you haven't.

Same thing happens on my Captivate since I've been playing with Froyo Roms. It's kind of annoying since I use loud, high pitched ringtones because I work on loud environment.

[Q] Dialer Problem

Hey guys,
So I have heard of the issue with the CM7 (Wyzor's TG-Reloaded build, in my case) issue in which calls to numbers with a "+1" in front of them cannot be made. Since all incoming numbers to google voice have a +1, returning missed calls is a pain in the ass. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Does using an alternative dialer work? At worst, it might be a fix, at best it'll give you an idea whether it's the dialer's fault or the phone's. I have the ROM but my phone isn't active.
Sent from my Triumph using Tapatalk
Nope, just tried a different one from the market, and it doesn't make a difference. Seems like it hangs while trying to make the call (which appears to use the stock phone app and not be dependent on the dialer). Any other ideas? Do phone.apk replacements exist?

Not that I've ever seen, and I've been around. It might be best to ask about the issue in the ROM thread, because the developer is usually the one in the best position to recognize the problem or offer a fix.
Sent from my Triumph using Tapatalk
Which build are you using? I have used the last three builds of his and have never experienced this problem. You should send Whyzor a private message and ask for his input. He's helped me out before, CyanoGenMod reloaded is his baby and he is pretty responsive when it comes to things like this.
I actually PM'ed him earlier today and he confirmed that I am not the only one to see this issue with the +1. If anyone figures out how to call out with +1 or make it so that the default calls do not come in with the +1 onto them via google voice, I would love to know. Otherwise, it really is just a minor annoyance.

Something else to note..... This fix is better than any yet. All other roms render skype video chat useless when calling a computer, but not this one. This is the best i have ever seen the camera operate even though the quality isn't the greatest, At least it works fully. I should have thought about using the gingerbread lib. Awesome Fix!
i'll add this into my guide with the next update

Vibration and Ringtone
I finally registered for the forum after months of leeching information and not helping anyone out. I know there are vibration and ringtone issues with the miui rom. with that said, i dont have enough posts to post on the developers forum. i have titanium back up on my phone and had frozen the themes app that comes with the rom. i then went in to the settings menu and tried to access the selection that allows you to pick your ringtone. however i found out that that part of the settings is dependent upon the themes app. i defrosted the themes app and then was able to pick a ringtone. i am not good at fixing technical things but thought that this could be related to the ringtone not working due to a dependency on the themes app.
not sure if anyone else noticed that. if nobody has could someone with more forum xp post this in the development section?

I know he mentioned the music thing and obviously we just found out about the videos. Seems that when the hardware is already in use it works. I know next to nothing about android file structure or programming in general. What would control the hardware? I know Raver has said it's not the libs. But it's worth a shot.

OK. Here's something else. I can only get ringtones to work if it's someone from my contacts list calling. If I call from my gmail account to my phone no ring. Call from my girls phone to mine and it rings. Freakin weird. Shoot me a PM if you want to try to look at this.

[Q] Is there any true Silent Mode enabling app for Lollipop?

As the title says.
I am tired of finding an app which will bring back the Silent mode in Lollipop, nothing works, including the one which was released earlier today claiming about bringing Silent mode back, SoundHUD, it does not work on my Note 3.
So I am asking this here, in case there is an app and I don't know it.
Again, I have a Galaxy Note 3, so if there's an app which works on a Nexus or those type of devices doesn't mean it will work on mine.
I 2nd this. I want a solution for this as well. App/Script/Hack/Mod.....whatever.

Yeah, I know. It's kinda weird that there's no app or mod for this so far, L is released pretty much for over a month now!
Hit the volume button, then none? It will put the phone in interruption mode and silent. You can even choose when it will go back to sound mode in case you forget to change it back.

Apparently, Samsung agrees with us here! The new Sound/Notification/Interruption features suck ballz. They will be fixed immediately in an incoming update rolling around the world.

First of all that will disable all sorts of notifications, I mean the display won't pop up, there will be no LED and most importantly the Alarm sound will be silent too, LOL.

Thanks for these, I have seen these articles, but as you can see its for S5, but I would like the update on my Note 3 too, I hope they will release it soon.

Two OS features are missing in S6!!

I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!
Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:
Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

[Question] Always on display support?

As per topic..
anyone knows or have a single bit of idea is native always on display is ever gonna come for this device ?
7T does not have it as well. So my guess: nope.
Which is really amazing/pitiful imho
I wouldn't hold your breath...
very bumped ...
no AOD no notification lights ...
at least what they can do is make the ring pulsate in shorter intervals..
how can anyone know if there is any missed calls or msgs if the phone is not picked up.
remembered they mentioned it was coming.. in May ? June? ...

Pixel pulse was my go to alternative for AOD notifications but since it doesn't support 10 yet I just have to deal with missed notifications. First one plus device and probably my last. They make great devices if you SETTLE for less than what mid-range phones offer. I wish I had a Instagram and Twitter I'd call it the CEO. Tell him give us AOD if it takes up battery life that's our choice. It's ignorant honestly. Live and learn I guess. Back to LG or Samsung sadly next time I upgrade. 2 years probably
