Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. Ive lost or somehow turned off the alert "beep". That you hear when you do certain things.
These include when you send a text, the box that pops up letting you know its been sent(I know some people are happy without this alert) it would make a beep sound.
It also happens(Not sure why) when you use the search bar in opera and click enter or press the search icon on the bar.
Its just a short beep that I love, not sure why I cant hear it on anything anymore, not sure what else it used to trigger the sound, but I really miss it and hope someone at least knows what Im talking about and can possibly help me bring it back.
Thanks guys, hope I can get this resolved soon.
EDIT: It also makes this beep sound when you turn the device on. I just heard it on my phone, but it only seems to do it when I turn it on now.
Ok, maybe Im crazy and it never made this sound. Sorry guys if thats it. Im kinda thinking it never did make this sound. hehe. But if it does let me know. In fact it does still make the beep in opera, so I was wrong about that.
The beep you hear at boot is related to the following >Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications) the check box is probably ticked for "events"-warnings,system events. As far as notifications otherwise (email voice etc.) try the notifications tab of the prior and drill down through each setting for the events listed in the drop down box. You can most likely set Voice Command to notify some events if preferred. Go to >Start>Settings>Voice Command. From that screen chose the "Notifications" radio button for the items listed in each category listed to the left and choose "Announce notifications using bluetooth......." or "Announce notifications through........" per your preferences. Hope this helps you out.

If I use one of the default ringtones, when someone rings they hear one and a half rings before my ringtone starts playing. If I use a custom mp3 ringtone then the person hears 3 rings before my ringtone is played!!!!! I tried using .wav files but they also gave a delay of one and a half rings.
In all cases the phone starts to flash and light up almost immediately within the first ring so its just the dialer and/or ringtone taking time to initialise.
I wanted to see if this is just me or if anyone else was having same problem since I've searched and previous android devices didn't have any problems.
Note: I had the exact same (if not similar) ring delay on my diamond but I fixed that by using wav files and the wm5 fix (it was also solved completely in custom roms). Is there a similar way to fix/minimise the delay on the hero?
In WinMo, there is a RegEdit to resolve this so you can change the delay.
Is there nothing in options? Like it might be set to vibrate first then ring?
I've just double checked the setting options but there is nothing about the order of ringing/vibration. I also killed touchflo using taskmanager (couldn't find another way to disable it) to see if it would make a difference but the delay was still the same.
I was going to try and transfer my ringtones to the phone memory itself...but the file manager just says 'couldn't be moved'.
Am I the only one with the delay?...if so it could be something I've installed then....
Any solution for this? I have the same behaviour on my hero. It flashes, then vibrates, then ringstone. Can this behaviour be modified? I want it to flash, vibrate and ringtone all at once from the very beginning.
Yeh I'm having the same issue aswell, there no way of setting the order.
sounds like it needs to load the resources before it can play the ring tone..
just like diamond1.. it lags when ppl call..
:/
I just tried my hero, no call lag at all.

Hmmmm, is your hero branded? Also, what format are your ringtones in?
I doubt it, but could it be a network thing? I'm on Orange uk...what network is everyone else on?
Unbranded from handtec, use "old style" ringtone

I only get the delay when I'm using custom ringtones.
i have a t-mobile g2 and there is a big delay in a person calling me before the screen wakes up and i can see who it is
the light on the scroll ball comes on, but the vibrate and ringing doesn't start until 3 rings on the caller's phone have passed
any help?! it's really annoying
Although I have noticed that the light goes off before the ringing and screen wakes up, what the person calling you hears is not reality.
It is somewhat network dependent, but when you call someone you often hear rings before the person you are calling actually hears them on their phone. This is because there is quite a few seconds of of network negotiation going on, and the telcos think it is better to give you an indication that it is connecting rather than nothing at all, so they often start the rings at the connecting stage.
ah! but sometimes when the phone is on my desk i can see the ball flashing for about 3 seconds (if not more) before the screen livens up and i can see who is calling
I have this problem too on a SIM free unit. Using custom mp3 ringtone for calls and a sound exported from a soundboard for my message tone.
For calls at first it just vibrates and the trackball flashes and then a few seconds later the screen will light up showing the caller and the ringtone will start.
Not a massive issue obviously but would be nice if it all happened at once as I would expect.

I have exactly the same issue, except its everytime rather than sometimes.
I am using a white unbranded Hero, and one of the standard ring tones.
Ringtone lag on my device is present too. But i guess that having used winmo after so long got myself immune to this.
It seems that the number of people with this problem is low otherwise this thread would be booming. I've reduced the delay to one ring by using wave files...but sometimes it still does produce a longer delay.
Note: I also get this problem with texts...the trackball lights up but the tone is heard after a couple of seconds. Hopefully the upcoming update will sort it out.

I don't think that the number of devices with this problem is low. On the contrary, i believe it is prominent on most of the devices but just that most of the people here have been using winmo for ages and are quite used to this "ringtone delay"
I for a fact considered it to be normal until i saw this post . I don't think htc updates will solve it up ( never did for diamond ) but i just hope that once chefs start cooking custom roms for our heroes, they'll figure out a tweak or something to reduce this delay.
Me too
I also have the issue of lagging ring/notification tones for call, text messages, and emails. Screen could also come on sooner for calls, although I find that unless I have the phone next to me on the desk, it's not an issue as by the time I get it out of my pocket or so, everything works as it should.
Just so people don't think the number of people affected by this is low. I think it's rather a case of most people not considering it much of a problem.
Yup, I have the problem. I could alter the registry on WinMo so it didn't happen, but seems to happen quite a bit on my Hero. I even get it sometimes when the phone rings for 1 second then goes silent.
Ring delay is annoying though
Am I the only one that gets frustrated trying to hang-up a call? The phone shouldn't lock on active calls, but I can't find anyone else complaining. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong key terms?
Anyways, I've found a few apps on the market, like no lock, but it's not a true fix. There has to be some way to disable locking while on a call. I shouldn't have to spend 3 seconds to press the hang-up button.
** Additional Complaint: On speakerphone, the screen blanks out immediately. **
I get the same thing, very frustrating. There's a thread for accessing programming thru the dialer & one of those settings impacts this. The *#7594# that enables power off at long press of the power button also disables the lock screen and fixes this problem. But when I used it, it seemed to prevent my phone from sleeping, I noticed a big difference in battery life so I went back to stock set up.

Its really annoying when u r trying to type n a credit card number and the lockscreen pops up. I will say that for me, it o ly seems to happen after I install clockwork. I highly highly doubt this has anything to do with it. Maybe just when I notice it

I tried testing this when I saw the first post on it, but I can't seem to replicate this issue. I remember reading this was for incoming calls, not ougoing.
I have Screebl Lite installed, but I disabled it, set my screen timer to 15 seconds, called my cell, covered the light sensor for 30 seconds, checked the screen and no lock. I then covered the light sensor for 1m 30s, checked the screen and no lock.
Does anyone have specific steps to replicate this?
It only locks when I use bluetooth. Is that what the issue is?
good day.
I get this alllll the time...and when using speakerphone the screen stays on, you have to hit power button to turn it off

What the heck? My screen never locks when I'm on the phone. Honestly, I kind of wish it would. I have the completely opposite problem. I keep accidentally hanging up or muting myself because apparently, the proximity sensor doesn't detect hair, so the screen turns on when my hair is in the way of the side of my face. It's extremely annoying...
I wonder why my phone doesn't lock and all of yours do...?
Soultion???
Possible Solution for the problem at hand. Started when I began using a task killer. So make sure you HAVE an android process called "Call settings" in your ignore list when using a task killer. The call settings process will only start on the first incoming call after a boot. So your first call or two would work fine until any task killer kills the call settings process. I have been able to replicate this. And have not had it happen since figuring this out.
Reboot. Call device from another method to get "Call settings" to appear in your running processes list and add to ignore list.
good day.
Interesting thank you so much for posting it was quite an annoying problem.
I just had my roommate call my phone after killing the process. Im using advanced task manager and do not see a "call settings". I do see a task called "phone" though.
what task manager are you using?
Thanks for the fix, im 90% sure this is a reliable fix and makes plenty of since. Mine started after i downloaded advanced task manager. And i use it often to kill background tasks to make sure they arent running.

Advanced Task Manager by:Infolife (on the market) and FREE
I just use it for the one touch kill widget with memory display below the little guy. I never did like the always running auto kill stuff I prefer to do it when I see fit. But on fresh boot opened ATM and ignored all things android and the obvious apps you want running. Like I said, it is not until your first incoming call that the call settings process will appear to be able to add that to ignore list.
good day.
Thanks for the info but I must be missing something. Just tried to get call settings listed in running processes & it doesn't show after following the steps listed. Could you be more specific about what it's called?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Call settings is the name of the process. It seems not all task managers list android processes but still muck with them somehow. But the one I listed above did show the android processes running. On reboot "call settings" will not appear in the running processes list until you receive an incoming call. And that should explain why first couple calls would work fine until a task killer had its way. Took a screen of my ignore list so you can see it. If I stop that call settings process the first outgoing or incoming call will be locked.
good day.
Are you running stock d101? I got the same task manager from the market & have rebooted & called from a different phone multiple times and can't get call settings to show in the processes list. What am I doing wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
DI01 rooted and voodooed. Answer the call and it should show up.
good day.
Call settings still won't show but phone did & so did samsung.phoneinfo so I put both on the ignore list and it seems to work. Thanks for your help on this, it was one of the most frustrating aspects of everyday usage.

On a somewhat related note, I noticed that when your phone is locked and you receive a call, the glass unlock option shows up and you can answer the call (or ignore/reject with message). But if you answer the call and then YOU want to hang up, it forces you to unlock the phone in order to reach the option to do so. Is there any way to have a glass unlock function for hanging up? Needing to unlock the phone to hang up a received call is EXTREMELY annoying...

The above is in my ignore list as well. Just don't do any auto killing keep an eye out for that call settings process I bet it will appear.
good day. From my voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
As mentioned above. Im running stock just rooted. And my call settings hasnt showed up at all. I did add phone and samsung.phoneinfo and it seems to have fixed it.
Weird issue came up this morning. Didn't have this before, didn't install anything new, didn't visit any "strange" sites.
Screen is off, but phone lets out a notification sound ( sounds like "click-clack"), didn't get a SMS or a mail, just sounds off now and again. Restarted the phone, automatic sync is off, but i cant for the life of me figure out whats going on. Changed all tones to different ones for a test, and still this same click-clack pops out, screen stays off.
Ideas how to approach this issue? What app to use to check for latest activity using sound or something?
So for some reason my Note 8 isn't giving any notification sounds. It doesn't vibrate, either. What does work is device sounds and incoming phone calls, during which sound/vibrate are both working as expected.
This is a new issue as of ~3 days ago. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is that I recently encrypted my SD card. Has anybody else experienced this? I'd like to keep my sd encrypted, but if it means that I can't receive notifications, I'll just have to bite the bullet.
I've checked my sound settings, notification volume is turned up. I've confirmed that all apps are enabled for notifications, and that a sound is set for each notification type. Interestingly enough, when I try changing a notification sound, my phone doesn't play the notification, it just stays silent.
Let me know what you think I should do, I appreciate everyone who took the time to read through my rant. lol.

Settings>apps>messages> scroll down to 'app settings' and make sure notification says ALLOWED. Some how my wifes Note 8 got switched off and we dealt with same issue. Hope this helps.
What he said,i have had the same issue as well,there is another setting for pushing buttons while the phone is in your pocket as well
So I've had my Mate 20 Pro for about a month now, and while I love the phone, there are some things that really bug me. Not sure if anyone else has run into the following issues but, if anyone knows of a fix for these things I'd greatly appreciate it!
1) Not sure why, but my car stereo cannot control (skip, go back) media playing via bluetooth from my phone. Find it odd due to it being compatible with my previous phone. Any setting I'm supposed to toggle or is it a stereo side problem?
2) When I am connected to Spotify to a bluetooth device, when waking the screen up, the 'Connecting to Spotify' notification is on constantly and in turn, blocks me from having access to spotify music controls from the locked screen. Anyone know how to block specific notifications from an app like that?
3) For the always on display, is there a way to get more notification symbols on there other than messages? I'd like to see from that screen if I have a messenger message or a whatsapp message and so on.
4) The last question is a bit more of a stretch, but I just received the official Huawei Smart View cover case, and regardless if I have always on display active or not, the small window only shows the time for a short period of time before turning off, and I am unable to see the time unless I open it or toggle the lock button. Any chance someone knows how I could make always on display stay on while using the official case?
I know the questions are all over the place, but I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks
