Hey group!
I posted this topic several days back on the general forums and got no response. I have the standard whistle notification as my text message notification and it doesnt always complete the full whistle. Has anyone else experienced this at all? t is very odd because sometimes it will perfrom the whistle all the way as it should but most of the time it is cut short one way or another. I wasnt sure if I was the only one this was happening to or not, and if someone might have an idea what may be going on with this.
Thanks in advance for the assistance!
You're not the only one. I had it happen but since I loaded beans I haven't heard my notification get cut short.
Somebody posted a specific fix for this back a little bit.
I didn't save the info as I've never had the problem (I use a really really long tone to make sure I hear it in a noisy work environment & it always plays it 100%), but if you search enough you should find the fix posted. I actually doubled the length of the tone I use with an audio editing program.
I use Handcent for texting, but I have no idea if this has anything to do with mine working correctly.
This happens with certain contacts because when you receive 200 messages its by default set to delete a message automatically to have room for the new ones coming in..(this is why your not seeing this happen all the time it's only happening with people you frequently message) So when the message comes in the sound cuts off because it's deleting a message and that seems to be interfering with it.. If you delete the thread of the person that's messaging you when this happens,it shouldn't happen anymore... It's an annoying bug.. Also you can go into your default messaging app and Press menu-settings and increase the text message limit..or uncheck delete old messages.. This should help

+1 ... I figured this out for myself after I went to Verizon and got a warranty replacement. They really need to fix this, it does get annoying after awhile. Either erase your messages or raise the message limit.
+1 oh wow thanks for the tip. I noticed my phone doing this and so was my wife's. It makes sense that it happens when I was texting her because we text the most to each other. I feel kinda stupid that it was so simple though lol

good post! was wondering why this was happening also. Thanks!
Dude thank you so much! I would have never ever guessed it was related to the message limit. But now that you mention it makes sense! Thanks again for your help!!
No problem! glad yu got everything figured out

The best solution I found was to put the ringtone as a silent one for msging and use tasker to play your notification sound whenever a msg is received.

Do you even need a message limit at all on this phone?
I realize that it comes already set to 200, but is the limit even necessary on such a powerful device?
On my old Droid Incredible, I would let my message box get really full, with individual threads reaching into the thousands. Also the Droid Incredible had a problem where it would take forever to delete text messages. Sometimes it would take a couple hours of the phone being locked up, just to delete a couple hundred. It was then that I realized I needed to put a limit on them. This phone doesn't seem to have the same problem. It deletes threads pretty fast, and with all the extra ram and processing speed I feel like opening the messaging app, even if it had a couple thousand messages, wouldn't be a big deal.

The max amount of texts in one thread is 5000. But I guess for most people that would take them through a few months without having to worry about erasing their msgs to hear the ring tone.

For a DroidX (rooted..but that's it):
I randomly got this voicemail icon in my notification bar last week. I've used google voice for years now, and I've never switched back n forth or anything. I deactivated my google voice today to see if i could manually delete it, but I'm goign to have to go through 2+years of voicemails to even get to my new ones i think (for the built in vzw voicemails).
anyway, anyone know an alt solution to this....notice the date on the voicemail too. wtf is that all about?

I had a voicemail 'sneak' through not long ago, but I just dialed in and deleted it like normal. Is there a way to manage them through the vzw website?

i sure wish there was. i don't think vzw gives that option, surprisingly. but if they even did, i'm sure they'd charge for it
thx for the reply though
aw i finally got it. for some dumbass reason, i thought all my voicemails were somehow cached on vzw side (ya i know..just realized how stupid that sounds). anyway deactivated gvoice & deleted quite a few voicemails until i got to my new one.
sorry for thread hijackin but i have the exact same problem; except its not with voice mail, its with SMS.
I got it when i bought an SMS-ticket for a bus-ride, thing is i sent an sms to a number and was suposed to get an sms back from another number confirming that i bought the ticket and some serial numbers and stuff in it, but i cant find it in my inbox. Although, i have 1 new sms with a red little 1 like the pic, and i have 1 new SMS in the notification bar thingy up top...
at the moment, i have no idea how to fix this, and i've done some reading but cant find any solution. i only have 2400 sms in my inbox atm which should be quite low and not violate some 9300+ bug or whatever that is...
halp pritty plox.
If you are using a custom rom, you might want to back it up using ClocworksMod and then flash the phone back with with Odin3 to stock rom and see if it fixes the problem...............
Did the voicemail message say "Hai it's me! I've built a time machine and travelled back to 1969 to send you a voicemail!!11!. Kthxbai"?

that'll prolly do it. but ahem, i got no custom rom, got 2.2 official, rooted it, fixed some nice theme, some nice apps etc... so any other guess on how to fix it?
discovered that if i delete the message about gettin an sms in the notification bar up top it actually goes away, but if i then enter my sms inbox that still has a red little icon with a 1 in it and then enter a new sms i get the notification about having the sms that i cant read, and if i try to enter the sms thru the notification bar it just takes me to an empty new sms ... just gets wierder :/....
This app is simple but useful for people that heavily use full screen apps (games/browsers/ect). It gives a nice little notification that shows the text message/email you just received, allowing you to decide if it's worth quitting your app to reply to it (see picture), even if you're in another app! You can turn the notifications on and off via the main screen. The best part of it is you can play and the notification will not interfere with your touch on the game. It might also have the simplest options menu.
FEATURE LIST:
Works with third party SMS applications
Now supports K9 Mail (requires K9 Mail for functionality)
Shows the sender (name from contacts list or number if contact doesn't exist)
Shows the sender and contents of the message
Low profile
Doesn't interfere with the touch interface of whatever task you are doing
Easy to turn on or off just by the touch of a checkbox
Lightweight
No more quitting Angry Birds just to see that someone texted you "lol"
Works in portrait and landscape orientations
Permissions explained:
Read SMS: So that it can read the text to show you
Read contacts: so that it can see if anyone in your contacts shares the same number and the text sender
Please report any bugs to me.
P.S. I know this is a VERY simplistic app and may seem pointless. If you feel that way that is fine, however I have had a lot of people that laughed at it originally tell me they can't use any full screen app without and they never turn it off. So I simply ask you give constructive criticism. Thank you!

Unfortunately Google currently doesn't allow outside apps access to Gmail emails or the standard email client. If they change this stance, I will update asap.
OK, I see...
Meanwhile, I installed and tested it (my ROM is at my sig) and it is working perfectly with the GoSMS I have installed...
Thank you!
No problem! Glad it works for you (as it should lol)

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

Crazy, I was literally just thinking it would be cool to have something exactly like this on my SGS2 when I was playing Star Diamonds Capture... it's an online multiplayer game that you can't really back out of unless you want to risk losing the match, but I always want to make sure I'm not ignoring an important text.
Thanks, I will let you know how it runs and if you stay active as a dev I will support your efforts as much as possible.

Can you make the toast message last longer? It disappears very quick.. Just a half second longer would suffice and not interfere with games

From what I see, it doesn't actually show you what the email says or who it's from, just that you have an email. Maybe I can just say you have a new Gmail Email haha

The donate version allows you to set a custom time to display the notification now.
Hello,
Has anyone found a way to change the Samsung Galaxy S III behavior at the end of a call? Mine typically reverts the phone to a locked state, which is pretty annoying when you were just on a short call and need to make another call. Am I missing a setting? I would think being on a call would appear as any other activity, unless maybe you are on a call that exceeds the timeout you have set for lock security.
Thanks!
That's actually been the behavior I'm used to from my Incredible when taking a call when already locked or the timeout occurs when I haven't input anything to the phone for too long during a call, so it seemed the same for the Galaxy S III.
- ooofest
I've been using on call end from the play store. Im having a problem where at the end of a call it lags and shows the persons picture with a text message button on the bottom and a phone to recall them and it was getting quite annoying so now I just have it go straight to home
Tap'n
Thanks for the replies.
I'll have to give On Call End a try.
I'm pretty sure I've experienced this situation even on outgoing calls. I was hoping there was a secret setting somewhere. I was used to my Droid 2 where the phone would go back to the screen you were on right before you made your call....i.e., if you made a call from your Favorites screen, it would go back to that screen. I'd really like to have that type of functionality, but maybe it's not possible. I'm guessing this is more a function of Touch Wiz than ICS, right?
Thanks again!
I've never had it go to lock screen after a call, but it's never been locked when I recieved one. I am assuming it started locked before the call came in?
Typically I end up back in whatever I was doing on call end, though sometimes it just aggravatingly sits at the dialer screen and forces me to manually go back to what I was doing before the call interrupted me.
If I initiate the call, 100% of the time it dumps me to the dialer screen when the call is over.
Stock rom, rooted.

Yea my droid x and razr would go bac to what I was doing. I've never had it go to my lockscreen and I've answered calls when it was locked. I just have on call end take me to my homescreen because otherwise ill get this screen if I dont after I end a call and then I can wait a few seconds for it to go away or I can push back which is annoying.

Do any of the ROMS change this behavior or give you more options for controlling it? The On End Call seems a little better to me, but I'd still like to go back to screen I was actually on before.

I've been having some weird things going on with my phone. I don't know if it is me just being paranoid or if someone is really controlling and spying on my phone. Two days ago I started running DroidSheepGuard bc I was having issues mapping the IP addresses on my network. Using Fing was only showing me half of the IPs, something just wasnt right. I had droidsheepguard alert me 4 times in the past 2 days so I started running a logcat and was wondering if some of the things I have been seeing is normal or not.

These are just a few things I see (no particular order) that caught my attention. I will post some screenshots soon. How could I ensure that my phone is not being remotely controlled. What are the best measures to take to ensure I am safe? Thank you in advance, I may just be really paranoid but I'd like to be sure.

Does anyone see anything off in these screen shots? What is the best way to be sure this isnt happening to me? Thank you in advance!
Anyone?
I saw two things that convince me you are being hacked from Ork. The cracked screen acts as a long range interstellar antenna powered by dirty fingernails.
What is Ork? And dirty fingernails? Are you being sarcastic? Do you really see anything? I've had a lot of weird stuff goin on and I don't know what it is. Even typing this message is very difficult when it shouldn't be. I don't ask for much help but I could really use some advice
@Ramer, Out of everyone on here your one of the most helpful people I've came across, please help me solve this. I have had really strange things happen. This isn't just happening on my s5, I also have a stupid iphone, and my brand new laptop that has issues. The other day I flashed a new rom (4x) and when it booted up I didnt sync my email or any account, I didnt connect to wifi, I immediately ran the catlog app which I had exported the apk so I could quickly instal it without google play. I noticed something strange and powered it down, as its in the close out boot animation I get a call on my iphone from my droid. Keep in mind I don't have a single number in my contact list, so unless it randomly just called the exact number for my iphone which I don't see as possible (out of every number in the world to call on accident, the one sitting right next to me?) something is going on. I have disabled wifi, 3g and mobile data, it STILL does strange stuff. I have removed system apps that come back, I've even battled with this thing while removing that "Ant" app, it put it right back when I uninstalled it. I've had this thing slow down my text messages and right before I click the next key to spell the word out, I can see a symbol pop up (like a transparent symbol behind the key I am trying to hit) . I get pop up messeges that tell me I am roaming when I'm at my house all the time, I try not to push anything and restart my phone but they keep coming...Awhile ago this happened and I flashed the firmware my phone came with, I think it was 4.4.2, then I manually flashed the 5.0 lp and rooted, still there. I have replaced my router twice, got any old device off my network, and got a new laptop...My iphone does similar stuff, theres way more background data that runs than foreground data, my iphone says its location is coming from Atlanta, I'm in NC.

I'm sorry, I don't have a clue. I was being a bit of a smart *** earlier, it's was hard to resist. Honestly, the only solution would be a complete wipe including internal and external SD. I don't think anyone will have a solution, which is why your posts went unanswered.
I think you are too paranoid. I think if you are that concerned, you should run unrooted stock. I can't answer all your questions, but i have had uninstalled programs install on reboot on a deodex rom. I have no idea why this happens but I'm not worried. I sometimes an roaming at home too. I figured it is because the signal isn't so good.

So got everything working. most things all work fine except the 3 things I bought it for. it wont get text message notifications from the phone, or facebook or messenger. the three things i need to work are the 3 things that dont. everything else works fine. blue tooth, wifi, all the other app notifications seem to work at least gmail and yahoo mail do. loading apps to it works fine just i get no text message notifications of messenger or facebook. So my phone is top line and on samsungs approved and tested list. Its the HTC one M9. here is samsungs approved list of phones that work. http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/ as you can see my phones on it. But if you go to another part of their site they have this chart.

as you can see even thought m9 is listed as tested and compatable in the fine print, it also says that non samsung phones may not be able to access all feature including messaging. Thats b.s. that would be the main reason to have the dang thing. they also hide this information well as its not on anything other then this one chart.
anyway anyone else have the htc one m9 and the gear s2 and been able to get text message notifications or facebook ?
Beware before you by make sure your phone will work and even if samsung says it wil it still may not with messaging as shown on this chart.
The Message app isn't totally available to non Galaxy approved phones, however I manage to text fine on my Nexus 5. First thing I did was assign the "hidden" Message app to the double press on Home button. That's the only way I can actually access the app. However I can initiate a text via the Buddy app, too. And also reply to text notifications. As far as the Message app I assigned to the Home button, it is only one-way texts, but I leave the key people I text to in that app, and initiate my text to them from there and reply via the notifications. Any of this work for you?

Cool thanks Ill keep that in mind. My issue is though i cant even get the notices that i ever got a text to go to the watch. they go to my phone and stop there. everything else like i said goes through with push and shows up on phone except facebook and text messages. facebook really who cares ill live but if i have my phone away like in class and it is not notifying me on the watch then its sort of pointless.
I've read other posts here as well other people having same issue. but no ones postedhow they fixed it or if they did. guess they just returned them.
Do you have notifications for your message app activated on the gear app?
I know it's kind of a silly question
For what ever reason it just all started working about an hour ago out of no where. Didn't change anything it just started working. OK I'm good now.
I have the same problem. Yesterday i was texting from my Gear S2 classic, and since this morning i dont get any notification of text messages on my gear. Also Snapchat, Twitter, messaging, and email notifications won't get to my gear. They only show up on my phone. I have done a factory reset two times now, i have deleted the gear app and reinstalled it, i have turned the notifications off from the gear app settings and turned it off again, i have unpaired and paired the watch over and over again, i have looked through every available setting in the gear, and the phone and still no solution for my problem. I am using a Galaxy s 6 edge
Anybody figure this one out yet? Just received mine 12/10, and received texts that morning, none since. Still receives calls and alarms, just no texts or emails..
Ya if anyone has the solution that would be awesome, I'm having the same problem. And I did everything "charlievegamena" did, I even got a brand new one and its still doing it. Any info would help. Thanks
Gear S2 messages fail on phone
When I send a message from my Gear S2, it will say message sent. Then, when I look at my phone message thread, it says messages failed on phone. It has been doing this for months! I sent my watch back to Samsung and they can't find a problem and Best Buy can't fine anything wrong with the phone (Galaxy S6) either. Is anyone having the same problem?
