What's TTY?

Lately when I plug my earphones a "TTY" icon appears at my notification bar. I don't know what it is. How do I get rid of it?

Hold your finger on the notification, tap app info, force stop.

I don't know exactly what TTY means, but i remember it has something to do with deaf people, like reading the messages you receive (?)

What a confusing thing to call it...

TTY MODE ON/OFF > Call Settings
Unlike my friend abhi, you guys would have accidentally enable TTY option under call settings. :angel:
Go to call settings > calls > TTY MODE > OFF.
Simple Isn't It? next please

Vibrate on Answer.

Just got my G and loving it, How do I turn on Vibrate when my call is answered, I find this very useful and I havent been able to figure it out. I'm on KitKat btw.
Thanks

cannot find it

bump

Well I can't find it either, so it seems like this setting does not exist for the moto g.

I totally misread the question. Sorry for that.

You can do it if you are rooted by using xposed + gravity box.

Call settings is not a seperate entry anymore. Go to the dialler, tap on the 3 little dots in the lower right corner, settings, tick vibrate when ringing

Is that really the same as vibrate when the call is answered? (Or maybe the question poorly phrased?)

I removed one app 5 times because I could only get to settings during initial setup. I was so angry there was no menu button. Then I heard about the long press

Step by step like a tutorial if you want to.

New Message preview
After receiving a new text message, there's an alert on the lockscreen that reads, "Messages New Message". Anyone else find this practically useless? Is there a way to get that notification to give a preview of the message?
What I've been doing is either tapping on the New Message banner then swiping in the highlighted box below to unlock and go straight to that message. Or I pull down the top panel and tap on the message preview found there. Either works, but seems like extra steps.

okay. I will try it. thanks.

You can create an auto-reject list.
From the Phone App - going into settings (3 dots on the top right) and Settings-> Call -> Call rejection. From there you can set to reject form list and start creating a list of numbers you don't want to hear from.

If you open the messaging app, go to settings, notifications, and at the bottom if you check lockscreen it will show the sender and part of the text instead of just new message. You can also turn on pop up where it shows a pop up message where you can reply to a message without going into the messaging app. Pretty convenient. Hope this helps.

Anyone know of a way to make long pressing the home button on the lock screen turn on flashlight like in the miui rom?

1. long press on the recent apps button while looking at one of your home screens, or long press on the home screen to get your scrren menu then hit "home screen settings" uncheck "my magizine" to get rid of the magazine tab
2. go into camera and hit settings turn off picture stabilization to make the camera much more responsive and get rid of that "please hold still" delay when trying to take pics of moving targets (dogs, kids, etc)
3. until we get root third part apps will NOT save to the external SD card (your camera and some stock apps will, but playlists from 3rd party mp3, back ups from any back up app, 3rd party notepad, 3rd party alarms like smart alarm, etc will not) so be careful that if you need to back something up use dropbox or something like that these third party apps may back up to an emulated storage (still internal storage) so if you factory reset when we actually get root you will still lose everything you thought you saved
4. if someone helped you hit the thanks button, lol

Disable/hide apps you don't use from your app drawer: go to app drawer - long press recents/hit menu button (three vertical dots) - select "Uninstall/Disable Apps"

So I was playing around with the fingerprint scanner and wanted to add more then 3 fingerprints. When I was setting up my thumb, I also swiped my pointer finger. After the set up was complete. I found it let me unlock the phone with both fingers from the one setup. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I figured someone out there might find it useful.

Already posted in the fingerprint thread but thought it could be useful here..
What I did was use the 3 allotted different fingerprints and scan my thumb at slightly different angles so I could swipe my thumb horizontally rather than vertically and it works a lot better now.

Thanks!! Just confirmed this worked for me. I was able to use right thumb, left thumb, and index finger on just 1 fingerprint setting.
I am going to copy and paste this info into the thread I made on the Fingerprint Scanner Tips.

Totally silent call blocker ?

Looking for a totally silent call blocker. Tried apps like MrNumber but every time there's a blocked call I get a pop up & audio notification. I want a app that once a number is added to the block list, just blocks the call - no notification of any kind ( well a entry into a log is OK ).
Any suggestions ?
Stock Moto G here.

No one ?
Can I request one of the app developers here to develop such a app. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs this.

Hello bro... If you have Samsung device.. It has an option blocking mode..
And If you have rooted phone... Then use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta&hl=en
Or you can search play store for this kind of apps.... I'm sure that there must be some apps with this feature..
Please don't miss to hit thanks button if I helped you..

Could not any at the Play Store or even Google search. That's why I posted here.
No one else needed something like this ? Seems unlikely,
Using stock Moto G as mentioned in the OP.

Got a really quick response from MrNumber :
To disable or change where the pop up notifications appear, tap "Settings" in Mr. Number.
In the Calls section, tap "Incoming Call pop up" to reveal different options for where incoming call notifications should appear:
Show alerts at the top
Show alerts in the middle
Show alerts on the bottom
Do not show
If you uncheck the box next to "Post call pop up," and the app will stop displaying information about callers after a call is completed.
When Mr. Number blocks a call or text it creates a notification on your notification bar. To disable the notifications, tap Settings >>"Blocked calls and texts" under Notifications >> select "do not send notification."
Lastly, there is a small popup that says, "Blocked by Mr. Number" when the action of the blocking takes place which quickly appears and then disappears; that cannot be removed.
Best,
Mr. Number Support Team

You can have a look in Settings / Notification panel & status bar / Notification Center. Select Messaging, then you can switch on Banners. I dont think you can do this for Phone Calls though, as I dont have the Phone app in this list.
