I tried looking everywhere but couldn't find any questions or answers. I didn't really have the time to sort through over 100 pages. This isn't really a huge problem..just a few things i liked about the phone. First of all, why are some of the tweaks disabled? Is there a way to enable them? Also, is my gps not turning on or does the icon in the notification bar just not show up? Then, the vibrate feedback, for the four keys at the bottom are extremely low. Just wondering if this happens with anyone else's phone.

Hey there. I've been browsing this forum and others for some time now, and there are some questions I was hoping I could get answered that I've not been able to find an answer to.
I own an Xperia X1 (WM 6.1). And the stuff I've not been able to figure out yet:
- Is there some way to make the vibration alert for SMS and other notifications be less intense or last shorter, or even put it in a better pattern? Right now when I get an sms, I get an intense vibration lasting for maybe 3 seconds or so, kind of drowning out the notification sound all together.
- On my xperia, I have these small freezes appearing once in a while, it seems this is a common occurance on other cell phones as well, has anyone found the culprit on the xperia?
- "Streaming media" doesn't work at all with wifi or activesynch, but as I've read you need a direct net connection for this program, so I guess there is no solution there
I guess tweaking is unlimited, but seeing I'm no programmer I guess I'm stuck with testing other peoples work =)
anyone on shortening the sms vibration alert? Need to know aswell!
I got HTC Desire and on Oxygen rom and I got few questions regarding stock gingerbread experience and hoping people come across work around for annoyances I'm having. I know some of questions are better suited for specific forum for applications but I just want to throw everything out here and see if anyone knows.
1. Miss call notification it's driving me nuts. I use "Go Contacts" because of T9 search. In notification I press miss call person and it still stays in notification. I remember reading in the past developers can't get rid of it with some reason due to gingerbread change. Anyone got work around for this without solution being use stock caller?
2. I'm using LauncherPro's bottom icon notification feature for miss calls/sms. Only problem is I press calls and it still say I got miss calls with whatever number miss call I got unless I press on the number I miss called. How can I make it so I can get rid of notification of LauncherPro when I press phone contact button or something?
3. I use Handcent and it has great feature of changing LED light into blue and it makes so it much easier to know when I got sms even when charging. I'm not sure if it's because I use Full Screen Caller ID or I pressed LED root feature where I can change colour to what ever I want but it just doesn't work any more even after I disabled LED root feature.
Because of it I'm thinking maybe use separate app for notification or something if they exist?
Many thanks in advance and let me know if anyone have better way of handle miss call notification issue!
I have HTC Desire S, used all kinds of dialer apps and had the same unread-count problem.
However, after I changed my original ROM to LBA (and also changed the launched to GO Launcher so it might also be related) - it was fixed!
I don't know how, but it's working fine now.
Hi Everyone,
I've checked around this message board and the web and haven't found much info. I'd like to be able to extend the duration the keyboard back-light is on for at least a few more seconds but have not been able to find much other than the ability to enable/disable it. Sometimes, I'll get part way through a text message and if I have to stop and think about what I'm going to type, the light goes out within a few seconds. I've also searched through as many settings on the phone as I could think of and haven't found any that could change this. I'm running CM9, alpha 4. Can anyone provide some insight on if it can be changed or if there even is a setting that can do this?
Thanks!
I didn't want to crowd the slimbean thread with my noobish questions, so I thought I'd ask here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1- When texting someone, I don't see the little mic on the keyboard so I can speech to text. Any way to get it back?
2- I really enjoyed the TW(?) Contacts way of doing things in GB, like swipe left to text, swipe right to call. Is that possible in 4.2?
3- It seems the touch sensitivity is good, but I'd like a bit more, as I have to sometimes touch somethings 2 or 3 times to open it. Is there a way to increase sensitivity?
4- Is there a task manager of some sort to end processes? Someone told me to long press the home button then clear the screen to do this. But if say I have Pandora playing and long press home/clear, it still keeps playing. Leading me to believe it doesn't really stop app/processes. Any ideas?
5- When receiving texts when phone is idle, there is only a tone alert, but when turning on the screen, there is no obvious (visual) indicator that I have a text to read. I have to pull down from the top to see it. Any way of getting a more visual indicator? (Like the puzzle piece)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about JB, but the way GB did some things was really good and I wish they could have kept some things the same. Is there any way I can get these features back?
If you don't know all of the answers, that's OK. Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Thanks for all the help guys. I've decided to go back to GB. It just works 100%. Sure, JB is pretty cool and I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into it. But it just didn't feel "finished" for lack of a better word. Camera didn't work right, no HDMI, no mic on keyboard, touch screen not as responsive, slightly glitchy, among other things.
Good luck to the devs, and keep up the good work. It's just not for me. When GB is no longer supported by app devs, I'll just get a new phone. Take care guys and gals.
Hey XDA,
I just got a new Mate 9 after I send my Nexus 6P to RMA. So far a great phone, although I've been annoying myself to some notification and Bluetooth related issues so far. I hope someone may be able to help me out here. Would be really appreciated.
- Notifications seem to ignore there given importance by the app and are not ordered to it. All notifications are simple visible in the status bar with it's icon, even if the priority is low, when on the Nexus 6P it would be hidden from the notification area and on the bottom of the notification drawer. This is really annoying for constantly running apps/processes like AccuBattery, Tasker, PocketBell and WhatsApp's web notification. Is there any way to honor this importance/priority without setting this for the whole app and order these notifications?
- Notifications seem not to honor there persistency. For example, when listening to Spotify, I'm able to swipe away this notification, which shouldn't be possible. Is there any way to make these really persistent?
- Notifications are not visible on the lock screen. I'm only able to select this on an per-app basis, but is there any way to configure this the other way around? Show all apps on lock, instead of the apps I don't want?
- Bluetooth Audio volume is not controllable through the phone. The sound volumes are separate, one on my headset and the phone. Any way to link these back together, like the feature added in Android 6, if I'm correct? Although, I'm able to see the charge of my headset. That's new, so I wonder why the volume isn't linked.
I've been used to Android Oreo/Nougat on the Nexus 6P and find these issues above really counterproductive and I'll lose the overview fast this way. Is this just me, or is this really different then the AOSP?
And if so, any idea how I can fix this? Is there something baked into EMUI that would fix this, or will a APP/ROM be the only solution? (although, I don't hope so) I have searched the web, but I wasn't able to find relation questions.
Oh, I'm having the MHA-L09 (with MHA-L09C432B126).
Thanks in advance!
