OK this might be a stupid question but is it possible to set the phone to vibrate when you receive a SMS or an email (I don't really mind about the email but SMS would be really useful)?
This is my first android (well, after messing around with it on the X1) and I'm unsure if the phone has this feature or not. I've checked the app marketplace and couldn't find anything.
Many thanks!
EDIT: Sorry I found the option for vibrate on email.
EDIT 2: And I just found it for SMS, could and admin lock please, sorry for the stupid post.
can u share how u did it?

Go to Messaging, press the Menu button (left button on the X10), and you'll see Settings, click that. Vibrate is on the bottom. I'm sure it's the same for email.

That's where I found it (for both SMS & email).

Since there is no led that can be set to flash to garner attention for any reason - new email, etc., is there an application that can be set to light up one of the ' hard' buttons given certain criteria?
If not, does anyone feel like writing one?

Awesome idea. I would give a dev several beers for such an app.
light up buttons
home button light up = missed call/or phone call when screen is sleep, menu button = missed text, back button = missed email! would be very nice and also include options for different flashing patterns!
now where is 2.2 so hopefully we can disable this haptic feedback annoyance?
There already is one....im using it. Called StreakLED. You can find it in Marketplace and in here. Search in XDA development section.
It does not work with missed email, and if i use widgetlocker
I've made an app called StreakLED (its in the development forum) but it only works for SMS messages atm. I will add missed call and email notifications soon but I've broke my USB cable so I can't do much untill I get a new one!

I recently started having this problem where I keep getting 2 notifications for texts after using 2.1
I use handscent sms and turned off all notifications from the default messaging app but they both still notify me of a new text. Its annoying itll vibrate twice, ringer twice. plus I cant even get the default sms thing in the notification bar to go away unless I manually clear it. Never had this problem for the months I had this phone before the update.
Anyone come across this or know how to fix it?
(oh and I tried a search but the xda search engine is down, it's down like 50% of the time I try to use it, so please no harsh remarks about a repeat post if this is one)

Google always works.
google brought me right to this post. so at least the next guy with this problem will be able to fix it if anyone has an answer....? I cant be the first one with this stupid double notification.
seemingly, after disabling notifications, removing the messages shortcut from the homescreen does the trick, although i havn't tried this myself.
you wont loose the messaging its still in your APPS list.
just tried it and it does work

I had the problem for the longest time. I eventually found out that it was the SMS widget in Beautiful Widgets that was causing the problem, even though you hadn't activated it. Uninstall Beautiful Widgets and see if it works.

yep it was the beautiful widgets sms thing thanks a lot man. I didnt have to uninstall it I just went in to the options and turned it off.
Simply open messaging and select setting by pressing menu key...
Disable notifications...!!!
Worked for me. ;-)

i had the same problem a while back too. and by disabling the notifications it still didn't work. what i ended up doing was clearing the SMS center number under network settings and retyping it in manually. worked like a charm

is it just me or do you find it annoying that it take 3 clicks just to answer a call!
1.unlock phone (im using widget locker and that takes me straight to the phone app yet i cant answer directly from there =/)
2.swipe down notification bar
3. click the green button to answer
is there a way to make the phone apk come up like a popup or like normal and unlock the screen and full screen?
i tried using dialerone but that didnt ever turn on =/
any suggestions ?

It must be due to widgetlocker as I simply hit the answer button when I get a call.
most android phones, when you get a call, pick up your phone and swipe the answer button, and say hello. not sure what you've got going on to make that so difficult

yep you were right about the widget locker. but i fixed it so it shows incoming texts and calls.
i did it by opening the widget locker app > clicking the phones menu button > Settings > Popups > unticking hide sms & incoming calls.
you should be able to pick up using the home button, no idea how widget locker behaves but with the stock locker I can answer that way (assuming I enabled the home button in settings)

There's a setting in WidgetLocker that allows you to answer the phone calls without the need to unlock the phone, it's called Hide incoming call, make sure it isn't green.
Hi!
Is there any way to make a direct dial shortcut for viber call?
I think there is if you go to your home screen.
And press until the menu comes up and select shortcuts then viber

Lost Viber Integration
Hi! Apart from what you are asking I lately lost another way to place Viber calls, and that is through the contacts application. In the past all of my friends who have Viber would have a Viber icon in their Contacts entry, so I could dial them over Contacts directly. This icon is now gone and I cannot add the Viber account to the "Accounts and Sync" settings. I can see it when I select "Add Account" but when I select Viber the onlx thing that happens is the application starting, the account is not added. I am on Westcrips Resurrection Pro V 1.1. Any ideas how I can get that funtionality back?
Hey buddy,
the easiest way if u don't select the standard for dialing.
So when u swipe on a contact from left->right, u can choose how u wanna dial.
For example:
^Dialer
^Skype [If u have installed]
^Viper
If u don't get this possibility to choose, check the settings for standard of dialer in "settings > applications > all"
Hope this helps...
CHEERS
As the title says.
Scenario: A text message comes in, I pull down the menu and hit the name of the sender, and it takes me into the default messaging app to read my text. But as well as doing this, it automatically opens my keyboard ready to type a reply.
Have I missed something here??? I'm using Perfect Keyboard Pro, and wish to continue to do so.
It only does this on a new message, if I open a read message the keyboard wont open unless i press the reply button.
I hope its just a wee setting i've stoopidly missed, but any help is appreciated
AFAIK, this is the standard behaviour. When you receive a new sms, and go to read it, the keyboard pops out (to type the reply). When you go to see received sms, the keyboard pops out only if you tap on the text box at the bottom.
This for any keyboard you'd use.
Damn... wish there was a way to turn that off. .. och well...
