Alarm clock not working w/ Steve's 1.6.1 when using stock Dell dock...
Does anyone else have an issue with the alarm clock not working when inserted into the stock Dell dock?
I use this at my bedside as my alarm clock, or I did up to a couple of version ago. I'd like to again

Its not Steve's ROM its 2.2 in General
What i did was go to Dock settings click speaker out prompt
tick Disable speaker out without prompt go back to the clock and place the streak in the stand then take it out go back to Dock settings and speaker out prompt and tick enable speaker out without prompt and go back to the clock then everything should be OK
Quite a few have had this problem and that seems to solve it until it happens again
where are these dock settings?

Click on the CLOCK ICON when the clock loads up press the middle menu button on the streak and you will get a pop up dock settings is there
I see the option, but it's greyed out, and I cannot change it. I even bought a different alarm clock but when I use the dock, everything is muted. /sigh...

Do not see why it should be greyed out. Was it reyed out efore you added the alarm clock you purchesed mabe thats greying it out
when I first saw your message, I opened the clock and it wasn't greyed out. I tried to adjust the options, but it said I had to be connected to the dock to change the settings. Once I connected, it automatically greyed out and has been since. That was when I tried to install a new clock...

This, so far, has worked perfect for me. The only problem I've had is that you have to do it after every time you flash and I can never remember exactly what I did and where I found this! So I spend a while using search and eventually I locate this thread..... In the imortal words of Bette Davis, Gettin' old ain't fer sissies!

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

I noticed on the Atrix 4G that the pull down notification menu does not have the controls for WIFI, GPS etc. as on the Captivates with almost any of the Roms.
Does anyone know if there is a way to put them back? It was very convienient having them in one spot.
If I missed this or it was already addressed somewhere else or a simple setting I missed I am sorry.
Thanks all!
the Atrix dropdown is basically Vanilla android. They did not change it. So the Captivate must have a tweaked interface that the Atrix does not.
I know there are a few apps that will add this in ongoing notifications but I always felt these were a battery drain.
The Atrix has the toggle widgets on the last home screen by default.

Sorry, Toggle Widgets?

Widgets to toggle settings like wifi, bluetooth, ect.
Yeah, I moved them to my home screen and BA-A-AM even better
atrix
Get an app from the market place called CONTROL BAR. It works with the Atrix and is excellent for turning everything on & off. Also get LAUNCHER PRO PLUS.
It is a must have and GREAT for Android and for the ATRIX. And read up on how to use it. It disables a lot of the motoblur stuff but that's OK. I have my Launcher Pro configured at 6 colums and 6 rows. You can also configure the size of widgets with Launcher Pro and the screen looks really great on the Atrix. I am going to post a screen shot on XDA shortly.
Sorry to go off topic a bit, but kind of related. Is there a way to keep the bar up top with launcher pro? I'd rather have these options tuck away in that drop down menu/bar (like the OP described) than have the widget.
I am currently using an app called quick settings which is acceptable and works fine. It is another app though. I would just assume have the pull down notification have access to the items that are on the other roms. I am dying to flash a new rom but will patiently wait for the Dev's to make it safe to do so.
I thought someone might have found a setting or something I was missing to acomplish adding the items back to the pull down.....
I notice when I put my phone in my multimedia dock, it will pop up and show the new alarm clock. If I exit out for any reason (while still docked) I cannot get back to the alarm clock/dock screen. I've tried to access it from notifications, hitting home, hitting back, you name it. The only way to get it to pop back up is to pull the phone out and put it back in.
Any one else?
Me too, does the same thing.
For some reason, the X2 doesn't play well with the moto docks I have. It still says charging when I take it out of the car dock and I have the same issue you are having with the Desk Dock.
At least it isnt going crazy with notification sounds when I put it in the dock now.
Yep, I don't know what happened either. I'm glad they disabled the damn notification sounds while docking it though. That drove me crazy lol.
The dock was a rather large issue in testing but AFAIK there is not a known fix for it. We will just have to wait for 2.3.4 or a GB-based AOSP rom.
Is anyone using an alternate desk dock app? I have been looking for one that I can customize (adding my own widgets) but no luck.
I have the moto desk dock and can exit and enter the multimedia station widget with no problems at all. It's also nice to not have to listen to that damn dock sound over and over that was happening with Froyo when nothing was going on.

I'd be curious as to this as well...
Just curious to know if anyone else purchased/uses the "Multimedia Dock" for the Rezound (the official one from VZW/HTC).
If so, I have an issue with the dock mode where by if I put the phone in the dock, there is no way of exiting out of the dock mode App. It's kind of a pain in the arse for me because I usually have to remove the phone from the dock for a few seconds, choose the app I want to enter, then put the phone back in the Dock and use the "recent apps" from the drop down to go back into the previous app.
On my Thunderbolt and my wife's Inc2, the Dock Mode app has a big "X" in the lower-left of the screen to exit out of the Dock app. I was mainly interested in knowing if anyone else has the same issue, or if it's just my phone that has the issue. Thanks in advance!
I have the dock and have the same issue. I mostly use the dock to stream spotify to my home receiver so it's not that big of a deal to me. It would be nice to exit of it easily though. Also the default bluetooth connection in the dock mode is hit or miss.

You should be able to exit be pulling down the notification bar and exiting from there.
The same thing happens for me. One thing I noticed is that when I switched over to another launcher (ADW Ex), the dock mode doesn't launch automatically, which is a pain but does allow me to access other apps. So I guess pick your poison.

No, you can't it only shows an icon that says "press to return to dock mode."
At least I know it wasn't just my phone.
I do have another issue though. I was messing around with settings and disabled the auto start. Now, my phone won't launch Dock Mode at all and I don't see it listed in the app drawer. (It is under my Apps in the Settings but I can't do anything but uninstall). Anyone know how I can restore the Dock Mode?
I have also tried to locate the APK in Root Explorer, but it only asks if I want to install it. When I try, it fails to install.
EDIT: Nevermind, just remembered. You have to go into the Clock (via Weather/Clock widget) and then click Desk Clock, then press the Dock Mode Icon and you can change settings that way.

Yes, the Dock Mode appears to be a Sense related app/widget, so if you install a 3rd party launcher, it will kick you out of Dock Mode entirely.
Wow, I just did something... I took the phone out of the Dock. Then pressed the clock portion of my Clock/Weather widget, then hit Desk Clock, then pressed the Icon that shows the Dock Mode. Notice that the Dock Mode now shows the big X in the lower left!
That is the only way I can get it to appear though... seems as though it's an HTC glitch.
Hello fellow Xiaomi users,
I got my Redmi 5 Plus a few days ago, updated it only via the system update (no custom twerks yet).
Currently I have the stock Android 7.1.2 N2G47H and the stock MIUI 9.6.2.0 NEGMIFD.
I have a couple of questions about the phone and I would really appreciate your help:
1) Will this phone get an official Oreo update? I've read that there should be one, but couldn't find any official date mentioned.
2) Stock launcher - I noticed that I couldn't remove app icons from the stock launcher. Is there a way to do that, and customize it all together?
3) Nova launcher - Since I couldn't remove unneeded app icons from the stock launcher, I installed Nova. An issue I find with it though, is that I no longer get skype notification sound - only vibration. Also sometimes messenger fails to make a sound as well, but that happens fairly rare. Any idea on a fix for this? Or maybe recommend a better launcher, that works with the phone?
4)Viber - I am using dual SIMs. One personal, and one for work. I activated only my work viber, but as soon as I started using it, it transferred all my contacts in it. So now my personal and work contacts got mixed. Wouldn't be an issue, If I didn't use viber on my work PC, and I would rather my personal chats to not be there. Any suggestion on how to separate my contacts? Anyone else had this issue?
5) Alarm sound - I am not sure if this happened after I switched to Nova, but my alarm sound is really low. The phones speakers are quite good, but when it comes to the alarm its quite low. I can barely hear it and wake up
6) Freezing - Sometimes when I type in let's say messenger, the phone freezes for some reason, until I type the next letter. For example if I try to type the word "submarine", I can type "subma" but it will freeze on "subm", and when I type the next letter (r) it will spit out both of the last written letters "submar" and then continue to work normally. What can cause those freezes?
I would really love to hear your opinion on these points.
Thanks in advance guys
1) For sure, in the main miui site is indicated and if is there is a closed beta available then we can expect an official version.
2) Remove the icons from stock launcher will mean uninstall them, you can only move them to the next display and maybe group them.
3) Check if all permissions are granted for this launcher including device control and accesibility, also enable in Nova persistent notifications. I use stock launcher, I put my preferred apps in main desktop, the others just moved them to the right and using the app "My Drawer" from developer Ofir Miron, it´s the only that I found that keeps the same icon from any theme that I pick, the others look very ugly.
I´m rarely use the other points so I don´t know

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will wait for the update for now, and experiment some more with Nova.
One more thing that came to mind - any way to use the proximity sensor to stop the phone for ringing or to answer calls? I had this options on other android phones - when the phone rings, and you bring your phone close to something (like your year) it picks up. Or when you flip it face down it stops the ringing. Any of these options available?? Can't find them so far.
