**Possibly Solved** No SMS, MMS Notification During Standby/Sleep

I think I may have stumbled onto a solution to our dreaded quiet phone that doesnt notify us of a SMS or MMS and possibly email when the phone goes to sleep or standby. I have searched asked inquired, and beat every search engine and found absolutely nothing. So being frustrated of seeing msgs pop up when I hit the power button to wake the phone up I went hunting and I think I found it. I tested this all of today and so far I havent missed one yet, and normally I miss at least 3 a day. Its still in a testing phase so I DONT guarantee this works, but with some feedback with others, it might be the solution. I did alot of comparing with my other phones and my 8125 and 8525 had a different value so i changed it to that value.
I have made it a cab file so that anyone who wants to try it can uninstall it if it doesnt work, I suggest a soft reset after making this change. This changes the following location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
Good Luck! And if it works or doesnt, please leave feedback of either thanx or didnt work, like I said so far its working on my att tilt 2 stock eu rom 1.86
Nice one, but its already been solved here.

Well at least its here, I know there is a ton of posts going around in here about this problem, and I did munerous searches, but obviously if you dont get the right keyword you'll never find the post.
so what does this do? light the screen up everytime there is a message? or basically just solve the problem of message not ringing in sleep mode?
Basically it does the same thing it did with the 8125 and the 8525 when a msg comes in the screen wakes up from sleep, so far (I thought) I might have found a solution, but it seems I was beaten to it.
So far there isnt a solution found yet of the alert coming thru without lighting the screen up as far as I know.
yea, i thought it lights up the screen when msg comes. I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep without locking it, so it might cause problem when i put it in my pocket as i receive message more than calls.
Thanks anyway mate

Yeah but if you have the end key setup as a long hold it will lock the screen to prevent that accidential tapping of the screen. Unless you have a modded rom then you would have to see what key it is. But hey for me its better then missing a msg.
Hi AngelDeath,
Just wanted to say thx for this one -I realise this thread is old, but it's sorted my no sms alert issue on my HD2. It had been driving me nuts for ages!

(Solved)Haptic feedback lost on keyboards???

So I spent several hours last night searching and trying to figure out why my phone stopped vibrating or haptic feedback when I use the keyboard. Here is some history.
I was on AOKP yesterday and the haptic was fine. I had the phone muted at times for work and then unmuted it later. Then all of a sudded I noticed that the keyboard was not vibrating any more. Then the soft keys stopped vibrating. But if I hit volume all the way down to silent it vibrates and my emails still vibrate so I know it works. I have checked the setting under sound and keyboard setting. I thought it could be ICS related.
So I then wiped date\both cache\format system\format cache and then restored my CM7 back up. Once on CM7 same issue. I checked all setting again and no luck. Now I thought maybe try a fresh start.
I flashed skyraider thinking maybe some sense will get it going. Still no vibrate on touchscreen. Even after checking settings and vibrate is on.
Restored now back to CM7. Went into CM7 settings and went into haptic feedback settings. I adjusted the vibate down settings all the way up. Now I get some haptic feedback on my soft keys but still not the keyboard.
I installed go keyboard and it had the same results. I ready last night that there are a lot of Dinc2 users with this problem. I read many diferent forums and google search but no one had a fix. I am hoping someone here can help me out. If so I will gladly put Fixed in the title so hopefully it will help someone else. The phone is only a couple weeks old. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance. And yes I seached as best as I could. Only got 4 hours of sleep last night trying to fix this thing. I hate not having haptic feedback.
One last weird thing. One thread said to download audio manager and turn vibate on and uninstall. One guy said that worked for his notification feedback. However when I tried to download that app it says there is a purchase error even though its free. But I tried to download other apps and they work fine so not sure what to do next?
Edit: Found it was turned all the way down on my cm7 and no matter what rom I, as on it would stay the same. Back on cm7 and was able to turn it up again.
This sucks! Any idea anyone? Can I wipe anything else besides data/cache/system? Even cleared cache and data on the keyboard. Vibrate works on everything but keyboard. Sound for keys work but not vibrate. Same results with 3rd party keyboards.
I finally got go keyboard to vibrate. I like stock better but at least it is getting haptic feedback now.
Mr Highway I got the problem worked out feel free to close this thread. Thanks.

[Q] Caller Screen turns blank, doesn't wake up anymore

Hi,
I got my Nexus a few days ago and I am quite happy with it - JB update worked immediately like a charm and it's a joy how fast everything works ...
But there is one pain point I encountered. While taking calls or calling someone the screen blanks, probably because of the proximity sensor. So far so good - but it doesn't turn on again. Then I am not able use any on screen controls, especially calling hotlines that require you to dial specific numbers while calling this behaviour is very frustrating.
I found a workaround, to setup the power button to cancel ongoing calls - this way I am able to hang up at least.
Is this a known behaviour, are there any solutions or other workarounds or am I the only one encountering this problem?
P.S.: I am running Stock Jelly Bean (4.1.1) / no root / no modifications
Am I the only one experiencing this behaviour? - any help would be gladly appreciated!

I have a friend with a Galaxy Nexus with the same problem. I'm wondering if you have found any solution to this or what was causing it?
This doesn't happen with my Nexus or my wife's
Either a busted proxymity sensor or a disconnected one
Under warranty ? exchange it
not under warranty ? Open it, make sure that the wires are plugged correctly. If it is and you still have the problem, replace the sensor
Hi, I haven't found a definitive solution for this issue
It just happens from time to time. Maybe the proximity sensor is kind of flaky?
I am using a combination of the Accessibility settings, pressing power button to hang up a call and screebl to keep the screen on. This works okay for me.
If you have any other intel regarding this, I'd gladly read it.
Cheers!

Notification Light quit working

My Wife's HTC One had its notification light quit working about a month ago. I figured the phone needed to be hard reset and she just hasn't had the time for me to do it. With the recent 4.4.2 update I figured that it might fix it. She took the update and wouldn't you know it... the issue still remained. I just got done hard resetting her phone and even after doing this it doesn't work. It lights up when the phone is being charged, and the service menu tests work perfectly, so I know this LED itself is good. I am just not sure why the notifications aren't working. Mine works flawlessly and has never given me a bit of grief. Has anyone experienced this and resolved it?

I haven't experienced this, but if you flash NuSense it gives you the option to pulsate the softkeys when you get a notification. This would be kind of a workaround if you didn't want to send it in to get fixed I guess.
So Verizon sent my Wife a new One. Upon setting up the phone the notification light was blinking. I restored via setting up her Gmail account and specifying to restore the settings and then once that was done I used HTC Sync Manager to fully restore everything else. I am not sure which restore, but something broke the notification light again. This leads me to believe something is botched in a setting somewhere and either Google or HTC Sync is restoring the bad setting. I want to say somewhere I read that someone else has this issue and said the fix was to not allow Google to restore the phone. I am going to try this and then use HTC Sync and see what happens. If this works, I will post here just in case someone else runs into this issue.

Question No vibration after Android 12 update

Hi everyone,
My phone's vibration completely stopped working after the update to android 12. It doesn't work for calls nor for haptic feedback and I'm sure it's a software related issue, as within the service menu it does vibrate when I test it. I did a hard reset but it didn't work and was hoping that in the next update it'd fix, but nothing happened.
Any ideas for this? Has anyone else had this issue?
