Hi everyone
I've signed up to the forum as I've exhausted every option I can think of and really need to consult with someone who knows more about the android operating system then myself.
I recently bought one of the S3 Mini clones, mine didn't actually say it was an Alps, but a quick glance at the firmware indicates that is what I have. The problem I'm having is with the darn "vibrate when call answered" feature. I have followed guides i found online and concluded something must be missing from the firmware. If I bring up the phone dialer app and go in to settings, I'm missing the "Call alerts" feature. So I dont have the ability to disable to vibrate on answer function.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do? perhaps reinstall a new phone package over the current one? According the phone it is running Android 4.1.1.
If anyone can help me on this, I'd be truly greatful
Anybody got any ideas? seems to be plenty of people viewing this thread.

Hey Guys,
I have a simple question (I think), but can't seem to find the answer...
After calling an unknown number normally my phone asks me if I want to save that number to my contacts. Today however, I wasn't thinking and accidentally clicked "Don't ask me this again" in staid of the "yes" button.
I would like to switch that option back on, but I can't seem to find the option... I've searched in my phone settings, Google and the XDA-Forum.
I'm kinda PPC noobish, so I don't know if this is a standard WM6.1 function or if this is a function backed into the ROM I flashed onto my HTC-Touch (the ShadoW 2.0 ROM by Cloudyfa (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363637)).
It's a small thing, but something I find useful to use so I hope someone can give me the answer Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Can anyone tell me how to do this? I mean, if I can switch it off, there must be a way to switch it back on...
Hey everyone,
I am not sure where else to turn at this point but xda... I had an AT&T Tilt that I had modded quite well to my liking, but then I lost it. So I had to revert back to my old Motorola Q9h. There are a few quirks about reverting back to a smartphone from a PPC that are bugging me. Like how I can't find anything like bitpim to back up all my text messages so I can upgrade to 6.1. I have a lot of text messages, some that I need to retain in case some legal dispute happens in the future with my ex. Anyway, that's minor, I can live with 6.0 for now. Threaded messaging would be the only real benefit for me and it's not a must have in this case.
Anyway, on to the reason I am posting. I don't know what happened with my speed dial function but for some reason, my 1 key does not link to my voicemail anymore. I don't have the default voicemail contact that comes with the phone and I don't have a clue what happened to it. I tried creating a new contact with the voicemail number and assigning it to the appropriate speed dial button, but it says 1 and 0 are "Reserved". I have searched numerous forums for some help with this to no avail.
So I decided to try and see if I could figure it out myself (sounds ominous, I know, I know, but I haven't changed anything yet, don't worry ). I sat at work today, bored out of my mind, and decided to just look through the phone to at least pinpoint the location of the speed dial contents in the registry. The only thing I have found that sounds promising is located at:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Dial\Locations\
BUT... I don't read or write in this language. I could also be in the completely wrong location. Any guidance from this point onwards would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more details, please ask.

Hello,
First of all, I'd like to apologize if this is not the right forum where to post this.
I'd like to make a personal app for my rooted Galaxy Nexus which will basically run in as system service, and will not be able to be removed by a factory reset.
This app will be able to, if the caller ID is equal to a predefined number (XXX for example), automatically answer the call, with the phone behaving as usual (no change to the UI, no ongoing phone call, nothing). I'm planning to use this in case my phone is stolen, I'll be able to call from another number and basically eavesdrop using the phone's microphone via a phone call.
Anybody can guide me on how to achieve this ? I just want to know the general howto and some keywords to search for...
I've already made a couple of apps for Android, but I have no experience in core android programming.
Thank you!

i want to disable the software updates on the s5 i recently purchased. although its a phone i plan on using it as a tablet/camera. i would like to disable the software updates as i really do enjoy the blue interface in the pull down menu. i went into settings and chose dont automatically update software... but it sitll tries to when it senses my wifi being connected.
other than rooting so its not able to, is there anything i can do to stop the updates?
i know to many, the blue interface probably sounds like such a dumb thing to be worried about, but i just really like the way it looks and would like to keep it.
i have no sim so theres no data connection possible, only wifi. but when i pull up wifi to play a game, it starts wanting to update.
i went in to the app settings and disabled something called software updates (that it would let me, but there are 2 identically named things in the app manager, and only one let me disable it), it didnt work though, it still wants to update. i also went into the factory recovery and wiped the cache. that didnt help either....
is there anything i can do? Also been looking to get rid of the annoying battery cover message that happens on reboot

Hey All,
This will be my first post here, so I may be a little different.. anyway the purpose of this post is that I done something completely stupid by deleting the stock Phone application on my SONY XPERIA E3 D2206, I can't answer or make calls, when someone calls me I loose all service to my phone provider and it says com.android.phone or something similar to that stopped, and if I get a voicemail it just goes insane, I keep getting notifications over and over and over again, and it says the same error, I was wondering if their is any way I can gain access to the phone app now by using .apks or something like that? I don't really have a way to flash any ROMs in any way, shape or form. Any help would be appreciated ?
Does anyone have any way to fix this?
