Annoying notification

Is there a way to stop the phone from "notifying" me that my bluetooth headset has been disconnected?
Stock VZW ROM

I second the need for a solution to this! Every time I exit my Acura RL with hands free dialing, I get a message a minute or two later. It's a pain to dismiss it . . . .

Anybody?
I know more than 2 people have to find this annoying...

me too!!! This bugs the crap out of me!

there is already a fix for this... go check this thread

AWESOME.
Thanks!

Just a little fyi, after the first day of applying the fix, this issue started up again.

really? ever since applying the fix the disconnect notification issue never bother me again, there's a seperate fix for BT headset Volume cannot be adjust or something like that too i think
now to fix the annoying cannot hang up with the BT headset.... there's a partial fix for that too, but didn't work for me

Yup. I get the message every morning and every evening when I get in/out of my truck. 4 messages a day. It's getting old.
I'll apply the fix again just for giggles.
I used the hangup fix and it also worked for the first day, then stopped. It was SO nice for the short time that it worked.

The one I wish they would fix is that annoying balloon you get when data coverage gets spotty or you lose data connectivity. There should be a way to turn it off but I can't find one. When roaming, every time I change networks or lose signal for a second a windows balloon pops up to let me know. Some places it can happen hundreds of times a day. Really MS, we don't need to know that bad. No other phone does this. A little notification on the bar like everyone else uses would be fine. A big balloon popping up repeatedly when your trying to use a map or something is beyond annoying.

mdphoenix, mine did the same. worked for a day & then came up with the same errors.

3G/HSPA Connectivity Issue

Hi,
My One S seems to occasionally have a few connectivity issues with 3G, I am not sure they are related to the signal issues already discussed in other threads in this forum. I have an international handset, MAO black version (has two tiny chips too, but not worth complaining about), running stock firmware, haven't done the dev unlock yet.
1) Sometimes the phone shows 'No Service', but I still have a working data connection and can make calls. Sending/receiving SMS appears not to work for some reason though. Can work around by switching into and out of airplane mode. Until I do that any SMS I compose under these conditions just pends, after the workaround they do get sent after a few minutes.
2) Sometimes something seems to go wrong with the 3G data connection, all the internet apps suddenly say they have no connection, alogcat says that DNS lookup is repeatedly failing even though I have a strong signal and 3G/HSPA connection (also tried connecting to IP addresses directly, doesn't work either). Tried getting online via Wi-Fi and it works, but all the Internet connectivity fails if I turn Wi-Fi off. If I reboot the phone it is able to get online again.
I brought this problem up in a live chat with HTC customer support and they have advised me to arrange for them to collect the phone for repair, the shop from whom I bought the phone advised the same. Just thought I would share it here and find out if it is common, or it is likely, as HTC think, there's something wrong with my phone's antennae. (My thought is that both could also be software problems)
Anyone else experience problems like this?

I get the no service thing all the time, I pull it out of my pocket and press the power button, it says no service. I am going to call t-mobile in the next few days, I am trying to collect more data. It does it on my same spot on the couch where I used to get good coverage on my old phone. It does it on the same desk at work that I used to get good reception at. It kinda sucks.

Yup, I get that and trying to get more data before sending it back to HTC. I'm not really certain but it's as if there is something wrong antennae? Seems to be quite a few with similar mobile network issues though.
I still have my old Motorola and with sim out of One S in the reception is good where the One S struggles to get a signal - if at all

I have the same issue as Kenyw:
No connection for a while although within covered area.
Strong connection bars but no internet
Usually I switch to airplane mode and back then it works...until the next time!
Very frustrating! I don't think changing the phone would solve the problem!

I have the same exact issue as the OP. Another example would be the streaming of music using Pandora and Slacker. I can listen to 1 song and skip 2 or 3 songs at best before I start having issues where it just keeps loading and I am in 4G range and 3G which shouldn't be a problem still.

Same issue here.

I did exchange my One S for another and it is just the same
It's a bit of a queer issue. I know where I live I have a good Three UK signal as per experience with the Motorola phone. I can be anywhere between 2 bars (approx 104dBm) and no signal in the house and around the yard. Yet I can walk 20 yards towards mast approx 1 mile away and as soon as I get LOS (no buildings, trees) on the mast I get full signal???

I buy my One-S a week ago in Germany and facing the same issue in Israel with Orange 3.5G network. I really don't know what to do now.

Alon,
As mentioned in many different threads opened here in XDA, the issue is related to the phone and its current software version and not to the operator/SIM/area in the world.
Stay tuned and hopefully shortly HTC will provide OTA update or root your device and install one of the custom ROMs based on the new RUU 1.70 which might be solving this issue.
Oren

Thanks,
I will keep waching the threads around waiting for solution.

I tried TrickDroid v1.0 base 1.70 but still same problem

T-Mobile Text Messages Not Working

Bought the Z3 on 11/11/14, was working fin until the 13. Text messages will say "sending" and I will not be able to receive any messages. Was on the phone with T-Mobile tech support for over 2 hours troubleshooting, no luck. Went back to the store, got a new sim card, and exchanged for a new phone, working fine until the next day (today).
This is my second z3, used multiple sim cards, did factory reset, nothing works text messages still will not receive or send. Salesman told me I can switch phones to anything else. What should I do?
Extremely disappointed in Sony. I believe this is a phone error as I had a Galaxy S3 with tmobile since 2012 with no issues.

I haven't had any problems with mine from T-Mobile. Does it work on WiFi calling? I really don't think it's the phone..

right, and the tech support rep said no issues have been reported with sony. I don't understand what the problem is then? I created a ticket with t-mobile engineering, hopefully that resolves the problem. If not, I'm jumping back to the S3

Strange... I've never experienced anything like this on any of my phone. (When I have service)
Phone calls work?

phone calls and data work fine. just text/picture messaged are extremely delayed, or non functional.
could any of my downloaded apps be corrupting the sms service?
I didn't even get a chance to root yet...

Do you still have the S3? Pop your sim in and try and text.

yes, but the problem continued on hangouts. I was just on the phone with tmobile tech, and she sent me a picture message, and it took over 30 minutes to receive. I sent a message to myself at 9am cst, and still haven't received.

It happens to me every once and a while, it happen yesterday but all I do is a soft reset.. Then it's sends the text..
If I had to guess it might be a fluke thing or maybe something to do with having stamina mode on but since I get incredible battery ? results it worth the hassle ..
Also I have done a factory reset and use the new Sim that came with the phone ..But it still happens ,I know it does because I get the did not send Error message ..
But for me personally it happens like maybe once or twice a week ..
Hey no phone is perfect but this Phone is so close to it with,whatever shortcomings it might have..

I never get the "send error" message, and I do not have stamina mode on. This is an amazing phone, no doubt about it, but I may be experiencing a bad batch or something.
This is not an intermittent issue, it is constant and never ending. My 2 Z3's have been far from perfect, and cannot handle the simple task of sending sms. Also the phone has rebooted by itself a couple times already. Sadly, I'll have to return it or wait for the tmobile engineering decision.

What apps do you have installed? My phone has rebooted/froze/force closed at all.

about 40 random ones from the store. actually, I tried to take a picture from the messaging app and it froze. I think the messaging failure is corrupting other processes on the phone, it gets really hot

If it's getting hot there must be an app stuck trying to do something, check and see what app(s) are using a lot of the battery, GSam works pretty well. Then uninstall/disable it

Me too
I've got the same issue, every so often my phone fails to send a text. It happens at least twice a day. First I thought it was Hangouts, so I disabled the SMS setting on it, and used the stock app, but it's doing the same thing. Sometimes I will retry three or four times with no success. I'm usually able to resend after waiting a few minutes.
I'm not on wifi, I don't use wifi calling. I have great signal strength, and mobile data is working, so I'm not sure why my messages won't send...
I'd also like to note, I came from a Nexus 4, NEVER had an issue with texts not going through... so I really don't think it's T-Mobile...

good point. had that app installed on my s3, just haven't downloaded it yet due to all the resetting. will download now and see the problem. do you think the tmobile ticket will do anything? Just called the salesman and he said it will do nothing, come and return the phone or swap to something else.

Yes same exact problem. It must be something weird on the phone that we need to configure. Maybe tmobile can adjust on their end. Yourr the only one in the USA to agree with me and this problem with the z3.

No clue, I've never dealt with T-Mobile support. Although my general consensus with carrier stores, is that the employee's are generally brain dead and just trying to get their commission on device/plan sales. (Does not apply to all of them) Most just have no idea what they are selling.
However, you definitely have an app doing something in the background. The only time my phone gets hot is while charging and using it, or doing something that stresses the processor. (4K Video/Games...etc.)

This phone is starting to piss me off!

So this is my first samsung (S6 Edge 64) since the moment (which was an absolutely terrible phone and i vowed to never go samsung again) Ive been with HTC ever since the OG EVO. I was very excited to get the s6 mainly for QI and fingerprint scanner.
Well my problem is im having nothing but issues with this damn thing. MMS messages wont download unless i force stop play services and hangouts and clear cache then reboot. Also i dont get any of my push notifications like i should. With my m7 as soon as i use my gwallet card my phone would go off with the push notif. now i can use the card and ill be lucky if i get a notification ever. My google opinion rewards never show up, emails dont come in until i open the app and manually refresh. In general everything that makes this a worthy smartphone is failing, what good is it to have always connected internet if i dont get my notifications how im supposed to. Its almost as if data just stops working until i force it to work. Along with that data apps will take forever to load most of the time and i have to reboot to fix it. This is also evident when i try to open gwallet to add some funds to my card, the app will open and i put in my pin and it just sits there waiting to log in. The other day i was in line at the store and it took me 10 minutes of F^#&!ng around with gwallet to get it to finally log in correctly and let me add funds. At that point I felt like smashing the POS on the ground. Again I open up the m7 and click gwallet and BAM it opens up instantly with ZERO FU#KING ISSUES
Also the wireless charger on both my gf and my phone dont keep the phone topped off, we will wake up and the phone only be at 80-90% charge.
Also the Night clock on the edge lights up the whole damn screen, WTF is that all about, was that really not noticed in QA testing???
I have turned off connections optimizer since its garbage software, i made sure everything i want to sync is set so and ive checked all the settings multiple times (again no one should have to jump through all these hoops to get the phone working how its supposed to out of the box)
Ive cleared all google services cache and wiped dalvik six times in recovery. When i got the phone i skipped setup and downloaded the OTA, let that install then did a factory reset and then finally i set my phone up. Still have the issues.
My gf phone (regular s6 32) is also having mostly similar issues and she just jumped ship from the iphone 5. Her facebook almost never loads correctly, unless she is on wifi which is a slower connection by far (home wifi is aprox 8mbps and her cellular data in the same spot is aprox 15-20mbps)
This is NOT how a $1k phone should act. Its not an issue with google either as i can turn my m7 back on and connect it to wifi and everything works perfectly. All notifications populate instantly how it should.
One thing Apple does get right is the stuff usually just works and works well. Im an experienced tech guru and even im having these problems, If someone like me has these issues i can only understand how someone might feel coming from an iphone or something else.
All in all I know not everyone is having these problems (or at least all of them) but its really upsetting me and again samsung is putting a terrible taste in my mouth.
This is the end of my rant for now, im sure ive forgotten some of the issues ive had so far but ill leave the book as it is now. Anyone else getting extremely frustrated with this phone that costs way to much to be having these problems with!!

I called sprint about the data not syncing known issue they said latest software has issues to wait for an update from samsung have to use wifi to sync gmail and same if you use facebook prolly same thing with wallet i dont use it so not sure playstore and internet browser work on lte dont use mms much will have to test that today

Does your auto rotate at least work? If so, consider yourself lucky.
The night clock thing seems to be a software issue but Samsung support is clueless about it.

I've got the same issue as you my friend. This just starting happening to me. I will not get any notifications at work. ZERO. No email notifications, groupme, twitter nothing! I have called sprint and they just tell me to update PRL and Profile. Most of the time that works but I shouldn't have to do this. It has to be something about Spark switching off to LTE and 3g making you lose your profile on the network. I have go as far as switching my preferred network to LTE/CDMA instead of Auto and DATA roaming is set to HOME only. I'm hoping this fixes the issue for now until Sprint and Samsung can get this worked out. I am 95% sure this is a Samsung issue. My note 2 and Nexus 6 never had this issue.

Again all the testing that goes on i cant believe no one noticed it before a major multinational launch. It works fine in the news feed but not the night clock that seems crazy to me.

This is definitely a samsung problem, as there are many other spark phones in the wild that have no issues receiving notifications or dealing with slow (dormant) data. I havent looked but is sprint the only one that is having these data issues, i wonder if it has something to do with that bullsh!t connections optimizer more than the towers handing off. That has got to be the most worthless software they have ever forced on us, the absolute first thing i do on any sprint phone is disable that malware. Except for my whole family has LG G3 and no matter how many times you uncheck that connections optimizer it just turns itself back on, GARBAGE

I completely agree about that garbage Sprint optimization app. I've turned that crap off. I've also changed my network preferences to see if that helps. I've gone to home and CDMA/LTE

You guys think that if we wait to see if Sprint can fix this problem that we will still be able to return our phones after the 14 day period if the problem isn't fixed? Because a lot of people on only Sprint have been having this issue. Everyone else on other carriers is enjoying their new Galaxy S6. Has anyone contacted Samsung about the return policy?

I have no idea about Samsung's return policy. Seeing that other cell services are not having this issue I am more sure now it's a issue with Sprint's signal and
Samsung's Cell radio's not playing together nicely. I can see that my download and upload speeds are working fine. It's when the signal goes dormant that
I miss notifications and emails. Which leads me to believe that this can be fixed via a software update. If it was a major issue with the phone every cell customer
would have it. I did see on the sprint website that Samsung and Sprint have acknowledge the problem and are working together. Let's hope an update is sent soon.

My sprint store said to call Samsung. I've had my phone for 18 days. If you're within 14 it's worth a try. Since they won't exchange I'm stuck with a phone where the screen doesn't rotate. It's very frustrating.

Just wanted to update you guys. After talking to Samsung and Sprint on the phone, I was finally able to get a sprint phone rep to notate my account to do an in store exchange even though I was out of the 14 days. So, give that a shot maybe. So far this phone only has the night clock issue. Going to stop using the fast charger in the meantime though.

I've been on 3g for a while now due to this issue, do you guys think if I switch to LTE/CDMA and roaming to homez it'll also work fine?

Im going on my 3rd phone. The first one was the rotation issue, second one my speaker stopped working on calls. Other end could not hear me.

So since I've posted this my push notifications have been better but i still have plenty of the other issues.
I wonder if gplay services have helped any

Great Phone
I haven't had a single issue with my phone...only thing it my be to fast....I just think people who came from iphone can't think outside the box. This is the phone i have been waiting for next update should fix any issues you guys are have. good luck and iphone user should go back to that simple tiny phone..

I didn't come from iPhone... But considering there are tons of issues out there for this phone...and that the phone isn't lag free and in fact lags like crazy sometimes is very sad. It's a great phone and all and I truly believe its one of the best out, but Samsung really needs to get a lot of their bugs kinked out like NOW. I hate waiting for updates.

I want my HotSpot to STOP turning off

Is there anyway to stop the hotspot from turning off automatically? When I lose data for any reason with the hotspot on, I get this message: "unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot".
I have a rooted S6 edge running Renegade ROM 6.0.1 with Xposed framework installed. I searched Xposed for a module but can't find one. I also searched Google and XDA but cannot find an answer.
In general I really find it annoying when the messages pop up at all when turning on or off the hotspot, wifi, etc... I would much prefer to change the settings myself without any intervention by the phone. The main problem I have is when using my phone as a hotspot in my car to play something on my in-dash Android car stereo and I get a phone call or a hit a data deadspot, the hotspot will turn off. I really don't like having to turn it back on after every interruption.
Please let me know if any of you have a solution for this.
Thanks!!!

For some reason, pardon me I'm buzzed. I think it has to do with the s6 not having 2 radios or something. My old HTC m7 handled data and phone and whatnot flawlessly. It had 2 radios. I dunno I'm buzzed I could be wrong
Edit: I just remember being able to tether my hotspot and still take phone calls no issue on my m7. Now it's me getting mad at my girlfriend for calling every 5 seconds when I'm trying to download something.
Edit 2: terrible design idea. Sacrifice the functionality of 2 radios for slim design.. I want data and phone at the same time.
Edit 3: Even now I still talk to someone, "hold on let me look it up....
.
Oh wait, that was my old phone."
OK now I'm angry

I know what you're referring to but this is a little different issue. I know that back on my Galaxy S4 I could have data going at the same time as phone calls, but beginning with the Galaxy S5 they changed it (I believe I read somewhere it had to do with Sprint Spark). However, on the S5 I could still have my hotspot on while taking/making a phone call and the hotspot would remain on just without actual internet data until my phone call was over then data through the internet would resume.
BUT on my S6 Edge the phone actually turns the hotspot off on any phone activity or even losing data for a moment (like driving though a dead zone). I would like my hotspot to remain on whether or not my internet data is happening. It's possible that back on my S5 it was modded as part of a custom ROM but at least it behaved the way I prefer.
I have been looking at both Tasker and Xposed but so far no luck in preventing the hotspot from being turned off.

I hate not being able to change a setting that automatically disables the hotspot when no network is detected. Almost makes it feel like an ifone.
Well maybe not that bad. :laugh:
I've been digging around for a 3rd party app that might alleviate the issue, but wifi apps (or at least working ones, ..I miss the old wifi tether 3.3-beta2) seem few and far between these days. Has anyone had any success with other apps or is it just something we'll have to suffer through for the foreseeable future?

I have a solution that i used that is actually how i got hotspot to work on stock. If you need to know PM me and i will explain. Idk how it came to stop that message but it does allow me to keep it from turning off the hotspot. If it has been 10m though it may do it but that is a good bit of time to get back out of a deadzone too.

Would you mind sharing with the crowd? I've been looking around for this with no luck. I've got a feeling that I could possibly add a dummy entry to the telephony.db for some kind of loopback but I don't have any idea where to start.
Thanks

I never tried getting it to work on stock, nor have I seen evidence that it could. For me, Rooting is usually step #1 in getting a phone anyhow. The samsung app Good Lock allows toggle control due to being a systemui update. Credit for that discovery goes to pickles.

Thabks for the credit and he is right for this. They at least fixed some bugs that I had been experiencing with it then like toggles changing themselves. Stopped completely with the latest update.

Ok, you explained the problem I have and have been searching for a solution to. Could someone please give me a clue about a fix?

Do you have the Samsung app Good Lock? What issue are you having?
