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.

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.

opinion? someone else may see the use in this.
This app is used to turn a phone that is on silent or vibrate, to loud. It makes it easy to find you phone after a long night! Simply send a text saying phone loud and your phone will be set to loud.
You can also set a password to prevent malicious attempts at raising your volume. Screenshots and details here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dustinriley.findaphone
More to come. Please leave feedback! It was just uploaded to the market so it may not show up if you search for it yet. So yet again, the direct link is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dustinriley.findaphone
I would appreciate any feedback. Had a lot of downloads, but not heard form people. At least rating would be nice if you like it? lol
Actually think it's great. Its saved my life already, and the best of its kind.
Regards and thanks
Well thanks glad you like it!
Released new version to fix a small bug... That made it not work right... Whoops...
I want a ringtone that's unique, maybe something from a video game that isn't heard often. IE: Metal Gear codec ring.
I tried the sonic drowning countdown, but it just isn't doing it for me. Just doesn't sound right as a ringtone.
Any suggestions?

I'm going to be a really pedantic fu**er right now.
Dictionary definition of the word 'Unique';-
Being the only one of its kind

Therefore the only way you will ever get a truly unique ringtone is if you record a noise or tune that you have created or written and ensure that nobody else is ever able to copy it.
Failing that, just think about what you actually do want, go and search for it (try SoundCloud for some ideas that you can possibly copy out) and decide what you like.
OP, post your request here or just monitor this thread maybe you can find what your looking for...
There are apps, that allow you to make your own, check the GPlay Market, Thank you and Thread closed.

So I have pitched this to a few of the major android ROM makers on this site but I have yet to find anyone that says they have the know how to create my idea.
Well you know how you can select a custom picture and ringtone for people in your contact list? Well what if you could select a custom 15 sec video clip?
Abilities
- Custom clip from phone or internet video
-15 sec limit like ringtones
- Interchangeable sound, (Original video sound, or custom ringtone)
- Retain the Answer/Decline/Number/Name Overlay
- On cal will come up and play in loop until answer or decline
- On call pick up stop and phone operate as normal
What do ya'll think? Anyone have the know how to program something like this? I honestly think this could be the new big thing.
