[Q] 3 Questions if anyone knows the answer I would really appreatiate it

My 3 question/issues are:
Let me start with the one i find most important and is a issue for me:
1. When I got the phone and set it up I got 1 tone when a MMS/SMS was send from my phone, a second when I got the response that my MMS/SMS was recieved on the other end and then my own personal sound when I recieved a MMS/SMS my self, But out of the blue the phone now will not give another sound when a MMS/SMS is recieved on the other end I get instead the same sound as IF I GOT A MMS/SMS which is annoying and confusing. Is there a reason why the phone stated doing this and why I can't get it to stop? I really use this feature alot because it is important to know if my message has been recieved at the other end as this is my work phone.
These next 2 are more so I can use my phone better and quirus i can survive not getting a answer here:
2. Player what would you surgest to get as a player since the onboard player lags alot in codecs to see movies?
3. HTC Reader APP the onboard HTC Reader APP which takes all my eBooks and does it well where can I see if there is a Update and then Update it? I have been told by a friend the version I have is not the newest and there is a never which supports more formats in reading and has more options. If thats true I would love to get it but as i said I can't find anything about it not even on HTC own homepage.

1. Switch on delivery report notification in messaging.
2. Try PowerAmp.
3. Why update if its working well? If your friend claims he has a newer version, then get him/her to rip out the .apk and give it to you.
Hope that helps.

1 start the HTC stock messenger app. Then hit menu > settings > notifications. You cane then set different notification sounds for received notification and sent notification. AFAIK the sound when you receive a text is your default notification sound, which can be set from your home screen settings > sound
2 I use Mixzing and find it good.
3 I think that built in apps are automatically updated when one is available in the market - it certainly happened with built in Google maps and YouTube apps on mine. The version I have got for the reader is 2.2.125597

1. Already done thats why I wonder how it stopped giving a different sound than normal and now gives the same as when I recieve a SMS/MMS.
2. OK will try.
3. I will talk to my friend about ripping it, and I would always update if it brings new features, the ability to read more formats and even if it improve on what I have.

1: Ok I tried but I was only allowed to set a sound when I recieve a MMS/SMS and a sound when I send it. But I can't find anything for the delivery report to change that sound.
Here is what I have tried: Changing the sound via SMS/MMS place and make the sound for recieving the one it should give when I have a report on the reciever got the SMS/MMS and then via the palet change that to i want this sound when I get a SMS/MMS. That didn't do the trick, I have tried the other way around didn't do the trick.
I have even tried having change the sound I can change in the home screen settings where I have 2 options nothing.
And I do not understand why it do this all of the suddent as it worked before.
2. Ok I will look into that one.
3. Same version I have but the difference between google maps and youtube is they update VIA the Market and can be found there the build in HTC Reader is not found anywhere, nothing on the Market nothing on HTC HUB or HTC Likes, nothing on HTC homepage or support hence why I wonder.

[Q] Go SMS Pro & NOLED

anyone know if there is a way to get GO SMS Pro and No LED to work together. Right now I basically have them both GO and stock messaging running cuz its the only way ill get the NO Led notification. If not, maybe someone knows how to get free texts? lol. The only reason Im really using GO is for the GO Chat cuz I dont have unlimited text (only unlimited to vzw) and I went over my limit cuz of damn sprint and att friends lol.

I honestly don't think unlimited text is that much compared to a limited amount...

it'd be another $10/mo which doesnt sound like much but im already spending $75 and im one broke son of a ***** lol
Plus my gf who is im on a family plan with refuses to pay more because I text way more than she does.

You might want to try this: Go to NOLED Setting/Toggle Notification/Monitored Apps, and select your preferred SMS app. It works with Google Voice for me.
It will require you to enable Accessibility Services for NOLED. Go to Settings/Accessibility/Accessibility Services, and place check marks on Accessibility and NoLED.

I cannot make these two apps work together.
With nothing set in the apps configurations, no led appears when the display is off.
I tried to check the Go SMS Pro mark on noLED monitored Apps, it just makes the display to stay on for an indefinite time.
So I tried to check the notifications delay mark on noLED, but this makes no effect and the display remains off with no leds on it..

I have the same problem. I checked in accessibility the noled and i checked in monitor program go sms but nothing...
Fixed. i cant use a link here but read this:
Q: NoLED no longer works with GoSMS for SMS messages, any help or workarounds ?
A: The problem is in the new feature that GoSMS added: the ability to turn off notifications for all other SMS apps. If you leave that box checked it also disables it for NoLED, uncheck that checkbox to make it work again.

I switched to handcent, basically the same as gosms, but has no issues with no led

Thanks to fousekis21, now it seems to work!
I've unchecked the box for the other SMS apps notifications and setted the delay on noLED (not setted any monitored app).
Now the notification incons appear with a delay of about 1 second, but finally they appear!!

Whatsapp plus disable contact online notifications

Hi, i just started using whatsapp plus again after a couple of months and now everytime one of my contacts comes online, im getting a notification sound and a popup window, is annoying since when 3 or 4 contacts get online at the same time, obviously i get that damn sound everytime.
Is there an option im missing? just cant find it anywhere, or is it an implementation on the original Whatsapp app?

Fortunately, yes, there is such option! If you're using an android phone, go to setting->application manager->find WhatsApp in the list->under "Force stop" there should have a checkbox named "Show notifications"->uncheck it and that's it!

Gear S2 Vibrating & Notification Issues.

Anyone else not getting the vibration when a notification comes in on the gear S2? Mine won't vibrate all the time. At first I had always on screen set to on and I never got a notification. I shut it off and started getting them. Now I'm not getting just the vibration. But if I swipe to the side the notifications are there. Non Samsung phone. 
It seems like the watch when the screen is off goes into a sleep mode and doesnt wake up for the notification. What gives?
See my google+ post https://plus.google.com/communities/111224177903657805607

Had two random reboots today and the screen froze up as well. This POS is going back to best buy. Samsung cant get there **** together.

Always on mode doesnt work at all. Watch goes to sleep it seems and doesnt wake up with notifications. This is overall junk.

I had the exact same issue. The vibration issue coupled with a battery that went from 100% to 0% in less than 5 hours, normal use.
I have 12 days to return. I hope Samsung pushes an update within 12 days. I really like the hardware and UI, but it's just so damn buggy.

I have no such issues you guys are describing. I have a black S2. It's paired to a Galaxy S6 Edge.

If I don't have the always on clock showing on the watch I will not get any notification. Using it with a One Plus 2. If the screen is on I will get nothing. The screen has to be off and in the always on mode or else it doesnt work. I just got a email and my watch did ****. I hate this ****ing ****.

maybe a little of topic but cause its about vibration i thought i could post here
i have no issue with my watch not vibrating at least not as far as i know.
i was just wondering if i can change vibration patterns. i know i can change the strength but the quick 3 times vibration is a bit annoying. i would like to change it so something else.
also the vibration on AW was better in my opinion because it resembled the pattern that was set on the phone for that specific notification

The only thing you can change about vibration, in addition to off/weak/strong, is long buzz or not.

Wait .. is the gear s2 screen supposed to turn on and show a preview of the notification when you get one?
My s2 has simply been vibrating when a notification comes in and there is no change on the screen. I thought that was normal and also thought it was a silly way to design it
If i get a notification right now, I need to wake up the watch, swipe to the left screen and then click it to show details - a lot of moves

You have to set that in the settings.

yeah that's right isn't it. i got the same settings. hopefully there will be more options in a future update

My S2 will vibrate and light up (turned that on in settings) for incoming Texts and Phone Calls every time.
BUT for all other notifications it will not. When I get Google Now alerts or score updates from the ESPN app nothing happens. I am using the Modern face with one of the complications set to Notifications, and that will show me that I do have notifications but what use is that? Unless I look at the watch face to see the time I will never know I received these notifications. If I get a notifications I would like for it to alert me with a vibration. Every time, of all apps I choose.
Does this with a Sony Z3 Compact as well as a Xiaomi Mi4c both running 5.1.1.

This watch is a bust because I tested mine with my moto 360 2nd gen. The Gear S2 didnt get all notification if the screen was off. If it was showing the always on clock it would vib and show. Samsung needs to fix this ASAP. This is a watch that needs to tell me every notification I want.

Have you tried a Light or Factory reset of your S2? That fixed it for me, that or reinstalling the Gear app. I did both so, can't actually confirm which did it. Not having any problems getting all notifications.

I think you need and easy button, or try setting,if you can't find it , I can't help you

I have two of these and both do the same. Won't get notifications if the screen is off and not showing the always on clock. Using it with a note 5.

i have another issue. dont know it its the watch or the gear manager app. i wont get notifications for specific apps. the checkmark in the gear app wont stick. e.g. the greader app. also there are not all apps found in the gear manager app. does anyone know why thats so. for example the chrome app does not show in in notifications in the gear app.

Yes,
I have done both as well as switched phones and started from scratch. No notification vibration for anything but Text's and Phone Calls.

Is there a solution for this, or does my watch have to go back to the store. I'm "upgrading" from a pebble, but if I can't get a vibration to notify me of a new email, then it's a non-starter. It seems to me that I get vibrations for notifications on apps that were set up by default. But I'm not getting vibrations on any additional (third party) apps. I use e-notify and aquamail, none of these vibrate on notification. I saw on another forum that the phone must be set to vibrate for it to work, but I've tried this, and still nothing.

Is there a program that will allow me to get reminders? I use Touchdown as my regular calendar and I think I can use my Samsung calendar just for reminders but can't get S Voice to work from the GS2. Google Reminders is the best thing going. Of course, I can't feel the viberation but...

How to stop incoming calls from preventing you to use the phone?

Hi...
I finally got the phone 3 days ago, but noticed that when i get incoming calls i can't use the phone untill the call ends or untill i answer it, what stopping me from playing / writing messages of even use Facebook app untill: 1. I answer the call. 2. I ignore the call, and wait for the other person to hang up.
I had other phones that i could just press the "Home" button and continue with my things.
Is there any solution for that?

I can't find the dialer in playstore, i downloaded from apkmirror and i can't install to my phone. Maybe can y help me?

Ahh yeah you need a specific one. This works well
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/themes/app-root-google-dialer-10-1-161735957-t3636608
grab version 17 or newer

Great thanks
But the problem is that i think i have to root the phone, because even after installing the latest version and allowing permissions to the Dialer app i still get the calls from the default HTC original dialer.. Im using the last version (17)

you need to go into app settings and make google dialer the default phone app

Iv'e put the dialer as default everywhere also in the app category, it still only shows the calling icon on top of the screen, also won't show any contacts names when incoming calls..
Did you got this to work in your phone perfectly?
Aren't there any other apps that can be used instead?

Yes it works perfectly.
Set as default, enable all permissions for it and it will work fine. Plenty of us are using it without any issue. What do you mean by "only shows calling icon on top of the screen". That sounds like the google dialer which is what it is supposed to do and not take up the entire screen.

I don't know, it just wont work properly on my device, i did all what you said above and restarted the device and still.. i only get the icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen when call enters.
I gave up and downloaded "Drupe" - wonderfull app really does the job well and also looks great (cost me about 4$ - worth it), better than the default HTC's app.
Thanks for the help!

You have to go into setting>application>Phone>application>Phone application, select the app you installed, then you may see the different calling screen when you call someone / receive a call. (not a football fan so installed normal v17)
