Can't Turn Flash Alert Off - LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Hi all,
So I'm not sure if this has been happening since day one on my new Verizon Lg V50 or not but I noticed today that every time I get a phone call or text, the camera flash flashes. I only realized it today because the phone was in my shirt pocket when i got a phone call and it basically blinded the coworker I was chatting with.
I've checked the accessibility options and turned flash alert off, and I've booted the phone into safe mode. It still flashes whenever I get a call.
Can someone please check their phone for me and let me know if this is happening to you too?
Thanks!!

OK come on guys... I'd really appreciate it if someone who has this phone can just let me know if they are experiencing the same issue I'm having!!

Are you sure you have also turned off Flash Alerts on Settings - Sounds - Flash Alerts?
Besides Flash alert is a preset for Silent and Vibrate only mode
And finally my favorite choice. If you can not find the cause of the problem, you can still try a hard reset.

Silent Treo

So I know this is a known bug from what other threads have said. In my case I don't even need to use the slider, but guranteed my phone sounds will all stop working at least once a day, even the vibrate does not work.
Soft reset solves the problem till the next time.
Should I consider reporting and getting my unit changed ?
I am testing one thing right now, normally I have my pushmail running 24x7, I think this might be the cause somehow. It's not direct push, its Oracle Pushmail plugin with works with pocket outlook.
Is this normal ?
Voicecommand is the problem, disable it and you will never have that problem again!
ok I will try this out and get back
that did not work, i disabled and left push email running overnight and sure enough in the morning the sounds no longer worked.
Tonight I will turn push mail off and see what happens I am pretty sure the sound will work in this case.
i had this issue earlier this week and i've seen numerous threads about other having the same issue. NO true, duplicated scenario or solution has been found (or i haven't seen one). After several soft resets i had to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. That was the only way i got the sound back.
so in your case are you saying a soft reset did not bring the sound back ?
in my case soft reset always brings the sound back.
I have kept my email turned off and so far no problems with the sound, I think mine has got something to do with oracle pusmail plugin, which is a real pain as I need that.
Unless this occurs in a clean device [no installed 3rd party apps] it might be a software issue. Maybe you should try and weed out the offensive app/s?
So I know which app causes it, for me its the oracle pushmail plugin for outlook that we get from work, but I can't really remove this, after all this is the reason I have this device :-(
When you lose the sound on your device does the camera also die at the same time?
Will have to check that out next time. I have had the camera go a few times, needed to soft reset. Next time the sound goes I will check the camera and report back.
Camera was ok when the sound went.
Are you SURE you have voicecommand COMPLETELY disabled? (NO checkmarks on NO options AND!!!! NO SHORTCUT TO VOICECOMMAND ON ANY BUTTON)?
Regards,
Ingo
Will have to try again, today I noticed the voice command was enabled, very weird I never set it on.
Will see how it goes this time.
OF COURSE!
The sound goes away.... it also came back once, without softresetting. I am not sure the VC is directly connected to this... I spent a good amount of $$$ to buy this phone for my wife, on the wave that she loved the 650... but what a bad idea!! Is something going to be done in order to fix all these bugs? By the way, my 750 is unlocked, but I guess it doesn't make any difference, or does it? Thank you guys, Paul.
If I checked TTY/TTN in phone options, all phone sound ceased. Uncheck and its back. Nothing in Help about this feature - what is it?

the innocent Treo...the silence of the Treo...
Waht is it? It is a shame!!! After almost one year that this model is out, still no fix for the problem! I spent $600.00 for this phone...it is really a shame.

Funny - same here. She loved her TX, I bought her the 750.
Ringer gone. Comment "Isn't ringing a basic feature of a phone honey?"
Just had to hard-reset, all others failed.
Not nice.
Same story here. She loved the 650, it got to the end of its life, so I bought her the new 750. Even worse, it doesn't even vibrate for her....lol...
Silent 750
Seems that a lot bought the 750 for the wife.
Even more reason to get the sound issue fixed
Any news yet on this - any word from Palm?
Every day i have to reboot my phone, even when i receive a call the phone don't vibrate.
Is there any mortscript that screen on screen off the phone when you receive a screen ?

phone auto answering calls ????

So i got my new phone and it's driving me nuts! Every time i get a phone call it picks up literally after 5 seconds even without touching it. I already checked the phone options and the automatic pickup is not checked. Is there another option that i'm missing?
go to start> settings> personal tab> phone >(scroll over to) more tab> and there u should see a automatic answering check box uncheck it.
i already did that. it's unchecked. it seems to only do it when the phone is locked and the screen is off.
hmm i am not really sure i remember seeing another place where it had auto answer option but idk where. Hopefully some one else can help?
i really hope someone can. i've tried sensor lock but it doesnt seem to work
Does this happen if the phone is just sitting there out of your pocket?
I know mine has answered a few phone calls on it's own because the screen turns on and unlocks when a call comes is, so it's possible for the answer button to be pressed while it's still in your pocket.
Try PocketShield and let me know if this works for you.
latest Gyrator has autoanswer if coming from standy on Portrait mode... do you have gyrator installed?
how do i turn this off i dont want calls answered unless i click on yes

Sensation ICS - I butt dial all the time? Phone is't locking correctly

I'm not sure what the deal is with the phone, but I'm still able to to use the phone when it's "locked". By that I mean, when it has the ring lock that u pull up to unlock the phone I'm still able to pull the notification bar down and get to stuff. Due to this, whenever someone texts or calls or anything, the phone isn't truly locked and I will be typing gibberish in my pocket or accidently calling people and navigating to weird things. It is extremely annoying. I'm assuming this can be solved if I put a passworded lockscreen but I don't want to have to type something in everytime I turn the screen on.
2nd problem is while on the phone w/ someone the phone is still very active. While talking on the phone w/ it up against my ear I am doing the same thing...navigating to things, I have accidently called someone on 3 way, just things that shouldn't be happening. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I'm unlocked and rooted w/ the OTA ICS.

[Q] Active Notifications Not Working?

Bought a Droid Maxx today and I'm loving it except for one problem -- the Active Notifications are not working properly. It does display the time and the swipe down to unlock, but that's it. I currently have unread gmails, a missed call, and missed texts, but nothing. I verified that it's turned on in the settings and that the appropriate apps are selected. "Sleep at night" is not checked. I tried googling for an answer but I seem to be the only person in the world with this issue. Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope. Since there's no notification light on this phone it's kind of a deal breaker. Also tried a Factory Data Reset, did not help.

If you've unlocked the phone already they won't show up as active notifications. So if your phone was unlocked, you got an email, locked it, it won't show up as an active notification even if the email is still unread. Or if you heard the phone go off for an email or something, unlock it to see you have a new email, then relock it, it won't show up even if the email is still unread. I don't know if that helps, otherwise I have no idea why it wouldn't be working
I was getting ready to take the phone to Verizon today to exchange it, and I asked my wife to call it again just so I'd have a missed call to show them (the FDR wiped out the first one). Guess what, on comes the Active Notification! Then I had her message me and it worked for that as well. So suddenly it works. Guess I'll keep an eye on it for now just to make sure it's working consistently, but it looks like the problem may be solved.

Question Screened a call from someone in contacts .

The other day I got a call from someone in my contacts who regularly calls me and the phone screened it , it never did that before. Any reason why it would do such a weird uncalled for type of thing all of a sudden.. ? Thanks
Anyone ?
Maybe your Flaky game is causing more problems than you realize?
Game causing the phone to screen a known person in contacts?? Hmm I don't think so

Lol, he made word for word response in another thread. Not sure how that happened
You might have had screen unlocked and accidentally tapped the screen call button in the notification banner.

This has happened to me before or turn off screen calling? I find everyone just hangs up when I screen their calls
I have the same issue. I had to turn Call Screen completely off as it was not even screening, but actually treating calls from my wife and kids (who are obviously in my contacts) as if they were spam and sending them directly to Voicemail, phone wouldn't even ring or show the missed call in the call log. I would just see a missed call notification. I have had this same issue on both the QPRs as well as the Stable release, so it isn't something introduced in the most recent QPR. It very well may have existed since I got the phone back in Oct. I raised a bug report, but never heard anything back on it.
My call screening won't even activate. It's been sitting there saying activating (requires wi-fi) since last night.
