Is there any way I can set my TP2 to continuously play its alert/vib/screen light up every 5 minutes or so until I clear the notification off of there?
The way it is now I don't actually know that I have a new message or missed a call beyond the one time it alerts me unless I manually turn the screen on and check it myself. All my older phones were able to keep alerting you every few minutes or so until you finally hear/see it and clear the alert.
I have never seen this on stock windows mobile. It has always been alert once, vibrate once on my wm phones.
However, you could set it to flash the indicator indefinitely for missed calls and messages.
I have used Best reminder to get this function. It is not free or I would post it but it is well worth the little they charge for it.
Awesome suggestion! Thanks alot mate
or you can install this ..
and setup your notifcations to alert you.
These days I use PhoneAlarm however on a previous phone i used MSentinel which is free.

try this
I use gProfile which alows you to set the tone, the interval and how many times it sounds up to indefinite. Freeware. Would post the link but I'm in the middle of Kolkata.
I hope somebody can help,
First is how do you delete facebook contacts which have automatically been imported to my phone book?
This wasn't a problem at first, but now if I recieve a voicemail text message from vodafone the phone links it to a facebook friend who does not have a phone number on there account. I defriended the person it was linking to, but then it automatically linked it to the next facebook contact with no number.... so if I carry on down this route i'll have no friends left by end of week.
Other annoyances/help required are-
- can you make the led flash indefinitly until I read the notification, as it currently times out after afew minutes?
- can you wake the phone by using the central hard key (optical track pad button)?
- when you recieve a message/email while phone is sleeping can it tempory wake the phone (stay locked but light up)?
- Is there an alarm app you that gives you the option to cancel a snooze once youve pressed snooze?
Sorry lots of questions, I'm just trying to get my phone to how I like them to work. Its still a cracking phone best one ive every had by a long way!!!!
thanks in advance
Hey guys
just recieved my Smartwatch and there is one fact i didnt like and i hope you can help me...
If someone sends me a WA message the watch vibrates... if he sends another message right after or 5 minutes after, the watch doesnt vibrate again...
is there any solution that it vibrates with every message i get?
I recently switched from an S4 to a Note 4, and have been missing lots of incoming SMS messages. I realize now that the S4 would beep any time a new message arrived, but the Note 4 suppresses notifications when you're inside the conversation for which a new message arrives. I can kind of see the logic for this - why would one need the phone to beep if you're already on the screen that's showing you the incoming message? In practice, though, I find that I leave the conversation screen open all the time when I'm not looking at the phone.
Most frequently, I keep the phone on a dock at my desk, hooked up to my KVM switch, so I can use my keyboard/mouse to write messages during the day. After sending a message, I switch back to my main computer/monitor and work over there until the phone beeps at me again. I rely on the SMS notifications to grab my attention, but need to explicitly exit the conversation after sending each message now if I want the beep to occur. The same thing happens when I put the phone in my pocket, holster, on the counter, etc. after sending an SMS. I'm sure I'll develop a habit after a while, but it seems foolish to me that I can't just stay in a conversation and have it beep whenever there's activity. This is the only email/IM/SMS app that I have that behaves this way.
I've tried to force the Messages app to beep at me whenever an SMS arrives, but there doesn't appear to be an option for this. Hopefully, I've just overlooked it, so:
QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the Messages app to beep whenever an SMS arrives, even if I'm already inside the conversation for the new message?
I'm using the stock ROM, no root, the default Messages app that comes on the phone, and a built-in notification sound (i.e. not something custom from the external SD card). Vanilla configuration. Thanks for your help.

In phone app go to settings - call - call alerts . There is option to alert you on notifications. Make sure you have this check.

Just to clarify, when I say "conversation", I mean that I'm reading an SMS thread inside the Messages app - not having a verbal conversation in the Phone app. Assuming that this is understood...
In the "Call alerts" page, I see several settings. Mine are configured as follows (where "+" is checked, and "-" is unchecked):
CALL VIBRATIONS
+ Vibrate when answered
+ Call-end vibration
CALL STATUS TONES
+ Call connect tone
- Minute Minder
+ Call end tone
ALERTS ON CALL
+ Notify during calls
Under the configuration above, would you expect the Messages app to beep when an SMS arrives on the thread that I'm currently reading?

Now i'm not sure. i need to see if in scenario you talking about i have notification, if i do i will explain my settings.
EDIT:
OK. I have notification. In settings in default messenger i have in notification Notification sound ( choose as you wish)
Vibrate +
Repeat message alert ( I got every 10 Min)
Pop-up display +
Lock Screen +
Status Bar +
What im reading messages i got pop-up with sound on top of message app.
But when im reading message and i get message from same person i don't have sound notification. It must be setup by software this way.
Did you find a fix? Mine does the same thing.

I'm still getting the same behavior. Missed several messages yesterday, in fact. This is the first thing I check after every OS update from AT&T, but I guess most people continue to prefer to not be notified when their text messages arrive.
If my screen is on while I'm in a conversation, you're correct, no notification will occur. But if my screen times out (locks) I will get a notification tone. I guess it just assumes you are looking at the screen if it's on and a message comes in.
Not aware of any way to change this.

I think that that's probably the intent. Maybe my habits are different than others', but I'm frequently not looking at the phone when the Messages app is up. Actually, before getting the Note 4 and training myself to switch off of Messages after reading each new text, I predominantly wasn't looking at the screen while Messages was up.
There's probably no one-size-fits-all setting here. It's just too bad that there's not an option to enable/disable audible notifications to fit individual preferences.
Did anyone ever find a way around this? You figure someone would have made an xposed module or something.
What a response.
Your response sounds like We should all be alike and conform.
Text notifications
Try '8sms' ... only text messaging app that I've found that will consistently notify me of incoming texts. Some apps will for a time but then stop doing so. This one has worked well for me.
Good evening
Yesterday (finally) I upgraded my nexus to Android 7.0, I made a clean installation (factory reset from marshmallow, new wipe from fastboot and flash firmware) Everything works great except for notifications that are unbearable.
If im responding to a message using the quick replay and a new message arrives the keyboard is closed and the written text gets lost.
If I remove the notification with a swipe, it will appears again repeated every 5 minutes.
When there are grouped messages (Ex. Telegram groups or whatsapp) they are not displayed grouped together, but It is shown only the first or the last message arrived. If I remove the notification with a swipe, when a new message arrives repeatedly reappears me the initial message notification.
Code:
Example: Messages in a group: FriendA: TEXT1, FriendB: TEXT2, FriendC: TEXT3
In the notification only appears the FriendA's message as if it were a single message.
If I remove the notification and FriendD writes TEXT4 , the notification of FriendA comes to me again.
How can I fix these annoying issues?
Hi! Did you solve this?
I have exactly the same problems and questions.
Furthermore, I have another question. If I set the Notifications options in "Show silently" for Whatsapp , I dont get any notification (no sound, no led) when a message incomes.
The "show silently" option is supposed to work when the screen is on and you dont want to see the incoming messages to appear at the top; but in my case, the "show silently" is muting all the notifications even when the screen is off.
Help!
