One thing I have wanted on this phone since I got it is to be able to know when a text message or other notification comes through while in a call. Like a short beep or something similar to the sound the G1 makes when the battery is low. I am not a huge coder, but love toying around with my rooted G1. Any takers? Anyone want to do this? Anyone else been wanting this??? Thanks for all who view this thread.
I think Handcent sms has this feature but we are still missing gmail and other notifications
Maybe someone can get this done, this is one of the few things that has bothered me about my g1 since I got it.
I know this isn't the place to ask, but a way to have the keyboard along with the face buttons stay lit until the keys lock would be the best thing. It's annoying to move the trackball every time to just get those buttons to light up every time.
Unless there is a way and I've just missed it every time.

i second the hancent sms. only one i know that does it and you can get rid of those annoying ass bubbles.
and, jesus people, stop with the unnecessary flame war. :/ really wtf are you guys gaining from any of it?
meltus if it does, what rom are you using? i could have sworn it was an options on cyanogens, but i can't find it anywhere it would be so i'm going to have to say its hancent sms. are you using that as your msging app?

Obviously you people aren't READING THE WHOLE THREAD.
We are aware that Handcent covers SMS/MMS notifications in voice calls, but what about gtalk, gmail, facebook, MSN, ect.
As far as I can gather, Handcent DOESN'T do this.
The OP is asking for someone to see if it's possible to modify the Phone.apk to include this. All of you "Members" and "Senior Members" need to get off your high horses, if you're true senior members (likely not the case as most of your post counts probably come from slamming people who "DO EVERYTHING WRONG!!!") remember the days when the Android section of this forum was still relatively young, everybody helped everybody, regardless of how unusual or stupid their questions seemed. These days if you're not 100% perfect in your initial post, you get slammed. Leading to more completely useless posts from all of you "Senior Members" that are taking up EVEN MORE space with useless drivel that's EVEN MORE useless than the OP.
I personally think this is a great idea, and whole heartedly support it, if I had the slightest idea how this is done, I would be on it right away.
Also, before anybody slams me for being wrong, I have never used Handcent for my SMS handler because I prefer the modified one that comes with my CM build, but if it DOES allow notifications for ALL APPS through calls, it could have saved a great deal of time to mention that.
This gets my support as well. I dont like Handcent. So if we can make it work with the standard APK, it will be awesome. I have asked around, for it to work, its not the Phone.apk that needs to be modified, its the .apk that giving out the notification that has to be modified. example is
for sms/mms, the mms.apk needs to be modified to check the phone status, and give out the correct sound notification. (not in call, use selected sound clip from external speakers; in call, use small beep sound in the ear speaker.)
same goes for gtalk,gmail,twidroid and any other apps that have notification.

Good to see some serious input here finally, depressing to know it would have to be handled by the corresponding application, being as some of them are off limits (gtalk/gmail/ect).
At least someone still has their head on straight here.

I'm sorry. I usually post something constructive, but this kind of crap makes me mad.
Why does it bother you that he had more than one question? How can you even complain about that? Uh oh, I just used 2, I probably have a "metal disorder" too, huh? You know what people accomplish by asking questions? They learn things. Yes sir, it is people like YOU, who don't ask questions or even make the slightest attempt to educate themselves, who shouldn't be "allowed to breed." When people like you breed, we get thick skulled smart-asses who think they're tough on the internet.
P.S. You used 7 extra periods that weren't needed. Your first sentence was a fragment. You used one capital letter. You used the wrong form of it's the first time. You used the wrong form of you're. You forgot a period after retard. It's supposed to be "mental" disorders. You used an ellipses incorrectly. You used "where" instead of "were."
P.P.S. His sentence wasn't even a fragment (I'm assuming you mean't "typed" instead of "type"). "I'm an idiot," says Mr. Grammer and Punctuation. There you go. Stop trying to be a hero for the board, that is the mods job. You saying "OMG RONG [email protected][email protected]!!" isn't helping a thing, considering 90% of people who post in the wrong thread just post one time. Especially when there are people before you that have pointed this out. I know it gives you an ego boost, but seriously, keep it in your pants. You are the one filling xda with garbage, not the people who have a question about a feature they would like to see implemented on their phone.
Thanks for bearing with me, everyone else.
Stefan, find something better to do than insult people in a forum. Next time you see something in the wrong place and someone has acknowledged it, I dare you to just skip over it.
I was going to delete this as well but it makes my point so much easier to make and its not a flame post or very hostile.

Obviously, you're not reading the whole thread, bro. We are putting suggestions out. So what if we miss two words? You're complaining about something that's not happening. We're still TRYING to help.
But, back on topic. Now that I know this, I support. Would be quite useful, as I have it set so apps get killed on screen off and it seems everytime I press "End" on a call, it goes blank and only thing that keeps me knowing I even have a sms is "Sms unread count" widget.

I do sometimes, especially when coordinating stuff with a few people. It will be something like talking to someone, then getting a text to update me on information to relay to the person I am talking to. Stuff like that.
Other times its just an compulsive need to reply text as soon as it comes in.
Also, another reason why you need to know if a text comes in while in a call : having 2 girlfriend. (not that I have 2 anyway)

you can with handcent i believe...it does it with vibrate or sound in call...
I have the TTSnotifier app and it will announce the callers name, if they are in my contacts, from call waiting. I also have it set to notify me of incoming texts as well. Doesn't work with email though. You will need the text to speech app from the market for it to work. You can customize the announcements. Hope maybe this will help. Can't remember where I got it from but I can e-mail it to you. [email protected]

Just emailed you.... I don't care if I don't get my texts or email but the absence of "call waiting" notification has been driving me nuts... to the point of really thinking of getting rid of G1. I mean, this is so basic, we shouldn't have to find workarounds just to enable this. If that app does that... it would be like a gift from heaven.

Hi
I am having an issue with this navigation
Whenever I pick a location to go to and start navigating the navi voice would start talking nonsense for 5 minutes and won't shutup.
This happens whenever it announces a turn ahead or any other announcements.
It just starts talking..."Slash synthesis www. blah blah blah version 1.0 speech blah blah blah..." and so on for literally 5 minutes.
Before I used navi I did change the voice feature to samsung instead of pico, because I dont like pico voice, but I changed it back after this problem yet did not fix.
Can anyone help or have this problem?
I had this happen to me too!
I had changed the voice to the Samsung voice b/c I thought it sounded better (from the test sequences in the Settings menu)
Next time I used Navigation it did the same crazy stuff as you mentioned
Changing back to the stock Android "pico" voice fixed it.
Perhaps corruption of the Samsung software that was installed? Anyone know if there is a way to re-load the Samsung voice software? (I may reset my device anyway, so we'll see if that helps...I'll let you know!)
Thank you.
will be waiting
Sorry to be off topic, but I didn't realize you could change voices. I googled it but didn't find anything immediately. How do you change to Samsung voice?
Btw, here's a list of free "voices". I dunno if they work or not. But I'll post in case anyone else is interested.

before i got the skyrocket i was planning on getting the SGS2 and was trolling the forums for a week or so.. i saw people complain of the exact same problem on xda (or might have been androidforums?)
might want to check there to see if they found a fix
which SGS2? att?
Also can you link me to it if possible?
yup, i was trolling sgs2 at&t forums, but i assume it applies to all sgs2's ?
anyone find a solution to this problem?
i really want to use the samsung voice instead of the pico one.
Also I couldnt find the forum with this in the other SGSII forums if someone can maybe give me a link. thank you
in android forums there are a few threads that talk about the Samsung TTS engine being broken and it seems switching back to pico fixes it.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...e-having-samsung-tts-navigation-problems.html
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t/437489-google-nav-app-voive-guidance-problems.html
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/406629-strange-voice-problem-navigator.html
Yes, switching back to the Pico voice works, but, man, does Pico suck. The Samsung TTS engine is much better. Wish that any of those threads, actually had some sort of fix.
I agree, Pico sucks. reason why I want to change to Samsung TTS.
I would really like to figure this out.
Hello everyone,
I have been searching my hat off for this and couldn't find someone else with the same problem as me. I don't know if this is also the correct forum to ask this (there are so many), but since I have a TF300T, I thought I'd leave this here. I hope someone can help me further with this. Any help is appreciated!
If I get a new message with Gmail, I get a notification, which is very nice! There is only 1 thing bothering me, and that is that it will display a preview of the message with the sender. It will display the sender and the subject on the bottom right corner when a new message arrives I believe and if you tap on the bottom right corner a taskbar thingie comes up with even a preview of the message. I would really love have those previews removed and the only thing I would like is a notification that I have a new message instead of all the previews. I don't know if such thing is possible, even if it's with an external application. I just love to lock my devices apps (yes my gmail is password protected) and don't want everyone to see my incoming mails when using my tablet.
Like i said before, I hope someone can get me a step further in achieving this so I can get rid of my only annoyance of Gmail for Android and any help is appreciated!
I'd also like to add that I love the TF300T! I just got it a few weeks ago and have a lot to get used to since I finally decided to upgrade from my Gingerbread device The TF300T just screams value for your money, thats why I ended up buying it in the first place

Please Standby!
Asus has released news that in March they will release a 4.2 update for the tf300. Android 4.2 includes multi-user features. At that time you can set a second user for others to use and they will only have access to what you have allowed.
4.2 is available in a couple of custom roms now but stock is on the way.
Good Luck!
