[Q] Go Contacts missed call notification

I'm using Go Contacts as my default call app. Although whenever I get a missed call the notification doesn't disapear from the bar.
I need to open the main Contacts Samsung app for it to disappear or clear the bar.
I don't seem to find any configurations to change this.

if i find anything i will be sure to post.
I had the same issue with my old desire, not sure if go can't get the correct 'rights' or something?

bump... still no workaround for this?
I use Go SMS not Go Contacts so can't say i have this problem.
Best thing is to send an email directly to the developer regarding this, actually if you do a search there is a massive thread relating to GO and their various apps on XDA although you'd probably be better off just emailing the dev.

I have the same problem on Desire, redux2
Any suggestion?
Same here on HTC Desire S. It is really annoying.
Maybe this is the problem:
Since Android 2.3, Google prohibited third party application (i.e. non-system app) to make use of MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission. One of the consequences is that all 3rd party phone dialer application can no longer clear missed call icon at notification bar. (Even at Android 2.2 or older, we need undocumented API to do so)

Same here with my unrooted HTC Desire HD (Ace). Unfortunately the workaround with NotiGo does only work on rooted phones.
This is a shame for Android...

Handcent SMS removed from market

Anyone know why?
I just downloaded it yesterday.. I just checked the market you rite not there
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
That's strange...
It is still in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms&hl=en
But it says it is incompatible with the Evo 4G and 3D. IDK about other phones. Maybe this was a mistake on their part?
Hopefully its some sort of maintenance or maybe some other big application purchased them. there should be word on it at some point
I know version 4.0 was supposed to come out soon.
Maybe they're renaming the app?
Just found this out too. Just flashed a new ROM and it wasn't listed. All the font/language packs are there, just not the app. Got an SGS2. I see it's in a couple other markets, but not the Android Market. Going to give Go SMS a whirl. Saw a few threads asking which is better and overwhelming response was Go SMS.
I noticed this earlier this evening... Hows Go SMS workin out for ya?
ive been using go sms for about a month and like it better than handcent, seems faster to me.
Think Ill give it a go and see how i like it...
You can always grab it from the dev's website.

Ive used Go SMS since 3vo came out and i love it... when it was unlocked, i have been flashing every week and love how GOSMS has an SMS backup feature
My biggest problem is when Im in the Gallery and want to attach a picture to a text, when I hit share, it rarely allows me to go to the stock messaging app. I vaguely remember that I could do that every time with Handcent... Does Go SMS show up when you click share on a picture?

GOsms is a lot better, I used to use handcent until I was shown GOsms, it's a lot better in my opinion.
I prefer Handcent because of the privacy features. I haven't found another app that offers the breadth of their privacy services.
Maybe it was removed due to some of the voicemail issues they were having. A friend of mine used to always complain that people would bring their phones in complaining about visual voicemail and it was always due to the Handcent app.
This is the email I got back from them this morning
"sorry,this is a temp issue ,we are contacting google ,it may fix in 3 days,now ,you can download from www.handcent.com temp,hope we can get response from google ASAP"
GO SMS

I've been using GO SMS & Launcher for over 6months. 1st on my EVO now on 3D. I love it.
Eh, I tried both, I still love hand cent much more.
I have handcent
I couldn't find Handcent on the market either so I used a backup I had on my SD card with Titanium Backup and it works perfectly...

Can't receive SMS when RAM is full

Hello guys. I've a quite strange problem!
When I have open some app that uses many RAM (like a navigation app - Navigon, Sygic, for example) I can't receive sms!
I tested with a friend. He sent me a SMS when my phone was idle, and I received.
But when I open Navigon, or Sygic, he sent me the same SMS, he received the Delivered relatory, but I didn't receive any message!
Maybe the system closes some system app when RAM is full, and maybe this is the problem. What can I do to get messages APP always running, so I can receive SMS?
Could you please help me?
Best regards,
Miguel
PS: I hope you can understand my (not so good) english !
You have to lock the messaging app in memory because when your phone tries to free RAM the messaging app is killed.

Thanks for the answer!
But how can I do that?
Best regards!
Because I'm a little bit noob on Android...
If you are on CM7 ROM then it should be under performance settings. If not then you could probally use the "V6 supercharger script".
Sent from my LG Optimus T.
Ok, thanks! i'm on stock rom, because unfortunately LG C660 users don't have CM7
I'll try and I'll post results. Thanks!
Well, I did use V6 supercharger and then I try bulletproof also, but it didn't solved the problem..
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I'm sorry for probably doing spam with this, but I'd really apreciate your help!
Best regards!
Edit: Anyone with knowledges in code, programming, could analyse CM7 code, for example? Because on the CM's settings meny, they have an option to lock messaging in memory! Maybe this would help me and other users! Thanks!

But the problem is there is not CM7 for my phone, LGC660. I'm wondering if anyone can analyse the code and see how they do to lock the messaging app in memory, so I can do it on my stock rom!
Please EVERYONE put a star in this thread - http://code.google.com/p/android/is...rs&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
It's about the messaging app being closed in low ram scenarios! Please do it! You only waste 10 second and contributes for best stock android roms!
Thanks!
Done... Hope google takes action soon

Use a 3rd part app Like gosms it has the option to lick into memory

It's a good option, thanks for your answer!
But in fact, my phone has only 188mb of RAM, it was a cheap one, and I'd prefer to use the stock messaging app. It's simple, and I like simplicity.
So, i'd prefer to have some app/script/mod that locks the messaging in ram. I tried all scripts that I've found on the internet, and they didn't work.
The best solution (I dream with it all day) is developing CyanogenMod for this device
best regards
Still no reply to our problem

The only good idea would to be just install go SMS our hand cent. Its actually faster than the stock messaging app and quite a bit better. to write a script would be kind of hard if you aren't that experienced with Android

Until LG or Google fixes the issue (if they ever do) GoSMS is you're best option.
You could try uninstalling, freezing or disabling the autorun permissions for all the apps you don't absolutely need. I don't use maps (I have a Samsung Vibrant and the GPS sucks) so I froze it so it doesn't automatically start up every once in a while or at boot. Geting rid of any widgets you don't absolutely need and keeping the number of home screens to the absolute minimum will also free up some ram. Also use the back button to close an app and not the home button. All of this might help a little but it won't solve your problem.
I downloaded gosms at last.. its nice.. but is there anyway to put its icon n the place of stock messaging app's icon ??

[Q] Pixelated caller picture on stock phone.apk?

Hi guys,
No matter what I do, the pictures of my contacts remain not only small, but also pixelated beyond recognition. I know there are replacement apps, such as UCS and BIG!, but isn't there anything I can do in order to get decent caller photos in the stock Phone app?
Thanks!

Yes, exactly. I wonder, am I the only one's whose pictures are not as they should be? Perahps I've done something incorrectly, though I cannot imagine what....
Use friend caster pro. My caller id pics are crystal clear. App makes it look crispy
If you getting the pics from facebook then friendcaster is the way to go. Nice, clear pics

Its not you at all. I have had the same issue with several Android devices. Some had painful work arounds. I have seen this talked about numerous times for the RAZR and it is always the same. Use a different app or you will have crappy pics.
Its the same problem anyone with an android phone runs into.
When u sync your contacts with your Gmail/Google account the pics are reduced for the icon it uses online, and then resynced over your phones pics.
Absolutely the stupidest problem which should have been taken care of a long time ago.
either way u need to turn off the syncing. And then manually fix your pics. Or go the Facebook approach as mentioned.
Either way u need to turn off the sync or it will happen again

And I said how to have nice pics in default app. After syncing with contapps all pictures will be there. This will not, of course, fix his buged contact app, but will make possible what he asked for.

Easy fix. Take a pic of every person in your contact list and then assign them to the contacts. There is the answer as well as many others. This is not new to android. HTC seems to be able to produce a better image for some reason when synced w Google but still an overall android issue. Been like that since the DROID Eris.

Same issue here.
Unfortunately even ROM reinstall couldn't fix it, so I guess Google stores it online, but I didn't see an unhide option.
Does anyone found a solution?
Anybody got an update on this? I tested the hide option on my WIFE and can't get her back! yeah, I can type her name in and create a new hangout, but that's a lot more effort while driving than simply hitting a big icon of her face!
Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't found an option to this. I think it's pathetic.
Me neither. I really dislike hangout. Beside that stupid bug, since I installed hangout even when I don't have any nerwork, I'm considered online 24/7 to people even when I just wish to be left alone and not be reachable offline. I checked there is a hangout/gtalk session that stay active 24/7 I tried the tricks to kill it with pilgrim but it comes back.
This is really uncomfortable. I sometimes just wish to be offline or invisible, I'm actually thinking of disabling definitely gtalk/hangout...

For the hide issue, I think it is same as removing in older gtalk version. You have to invite that person again to unhide him/her.

I don't think so, because on PC I'm using the old google talk client and the friend who i accidentally hid in hangouts is still visible in my contact list as online.

Have you tried inviting her again with hangout? I don't use hang out, so I can't be sure, but I think there must be a way to readd, if not unhide, your contact.

There is no readd because he is in my contact list (phonebook, gtalk) just hidden from the recent hangout list. I can send a message too and vica-versa.
It's not a big issue for me, I just think it's pathetic that there is a hide option, but no unhide or manage hidden contacts or something.

I just tried that but the ghost idle away session is still active even after disconecting from app. And l checked in gmail the other active session button and made sure to disconect them all. But I'm still 24/7 idle away. I hate that, specially right now where I really don't want people to see me or try to contact me. I have to block them so that they don't see me online it's pathetic ! Like hunfatal said. F... hangout.
I have the same issue and it does not appear that google implemented a way to unhide them.
