[Q] Notification light for Text Messages not working - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am Running Synergy RLS1 (non godmode) and I noticed that the notification light isnt working when I get a text message. It does work when I get an email, google talk message etc.. anyway to fix without reflashing the phone.

Mine was not doing that either. I was and still also having trouble with Speech to text too. I did a wipe of Cache and Dalvik in Amon RA, and it fixed the light problem, but speech to text is still a constant problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

thanks for the info, however, I completely wiped the phone and reflashed the ROM and even on a fresh install it isnt working
Got it working again, a setting was turned off by default (settings/display/notification flash). wish I would have checked before I wiped... no worries though got the phone back to where it was in no time

Texts don't vibrate

For a while my phone hasn't been vibrating when I receive text and it only vibrates for phone calls. I checked my settings and messaging settings but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
You have the notification setting in the messaging app set to always vibrate, right?
Yes I have that checked too
Have you tried disabling it, rebooting your phone then re-enabling it? I know it sounds weird but that has worked for me before when setting get "stuck".
rebooting as in turning the phone off and then back on?
Yes, that's just about the only meaning for reboot I am aware of
it still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to start using chompsms
This happened to me too, i think its an ec05 thing cause it never happened on eb13. Idc though, cause i use handcent. My problem is there is no longer a setting for the led blinker, and it does nothing for me now.

I've tried every led color, on every sms replacement, they never work. But, on eclair, it worked on stock sms. Now, it never lights up unless its charging.

Download Sound Manager from Market and see if a hidden setting in there is messing you up.
On bonsai and I keep on getting the same text, email, calendar no-vibrate issues after a couple weeks. So time consuming to fix everytime by restoring with my backup.

[Q] Notifications not working

I'm having an issue with not receiving notifications for missed calls or new voice mails. Does anybody have know what app precipitates those notifications? I do get notifications for text messages. All that being said, I have frozen over 100 apps with TB and undoubtedly froze something that I shouldn't have. I would hate to have to go through all those ice cubes trying to figure it out. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That is the problem, you have frozen stuff and none of us know what those things are.
Unfreeze them all. Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik and cache and fix permissions. Bet you the problem goes away.
My bad

When I was freezing apps, I pretty much followed the list furnished by Rooted in Vegas (which is excellent, BTW). I also froze the voicemail app thinking it was the worthless voice-to-text thing that you have to put up with for 30 days. Actually it is the notification app and when defrosted, I am again receiving voicemail notifications and still have a lot of bloatware frozen.
I did clear the caches and fix permissions before I restored the voicemail app and did get the LED notification for missed calls.

Even if/when following a reputable guide I'd work the Freezing only one (or a couple) at a time and test the _functions_ needed to ensure everything you use is still working, and continue to trim from there. When testing variables you first have to start with a known working _baseline_ or you are likely to end up with unexpected results, riiight ?
You might also write back to the creator of the Guide you are working with your findings. Just a thought *Grin*..

[Q] Settings menu all fubard

As my title states, no idea what happened to my settings menu.
I'm "stock" rooted. (Did it back in December with odin flash - 4.3)
Firewalled, Greenified, and TitaniumBackup to Freeze useless apps.
Everything has been great, then all of a sudden I was getting 3 errrors.
Google Text to Speech, Maps and Settings all quit working. (The whole, unfortunately *blank* has stopped working)
I removed Text to Speech, but Settings still crashes and refuses to work and now Maps took it's place (T2S).
Removed Maps and still Settings does not work and will randomly crash in the background.
I have done nothing new from what I described I have already done above.
Nothing was newly frozen. I have never uninstall any stock apps, just freeze them.
Last thing I uninstalled was a GoSMS theme I no longer use. Uninstalled it through ROM Toolbox Pro as I saw it was running in the background.
Everything else appears to be working fine. Camera, Chrome, Texting, Calling and my various daily apps.
Just something with the settings "app" has gone all wrong.
It also appears it's not the entire settings. Like if I go to about phone, it's all good. If I go to display part of the settings, *crash*
Two other odd issues pertaining to this as well:
My assistive light widget no longer works. So I know this happened within a 24 hour period as I use that light nearly every day.
And when you get into the settings part of the phone, all the text / font is screwed up. (Pic attached to see what I'm talking about)
Assistive light widget shows the same messed up text as well.
Data corruption. It will spread. The easiest and most successful solution is to wipe data, system, cache, and Dalvik cache, then re-flash the stock firmware, then re-root.
If you don't want it that successful you can do the wipes and restore a backup, but there is always a chance that there was corruption saved in the last backup and in a few days it will be as it is now.
What caused the corruption? It could be anything from a bad USB cable to a nearby flash of lightening, but more likely it's whatever you do that you need root for.
Frank
I would believe that was the issue if it was more wide spread.
Or I was having stability issues in daily usage.
The phone only gets charged via usb, I have not hooked it up to a computer for some time.
No storms or surges recently either.
As far as root usings, nothing has changed or updated recently. And none of what I do hard changes anything.
Reflash. Much faster and easier than wracking your brain trying to track down what exactly little thing went wrong.

* solved * keyboard just disappears

so, when replying to a text with the standard messaging app, when you hit the text box to bring the keyboard up, it opens then immediately goes away without an error message of any sort. I can compose a new message and the keyboard stays there and operates normally, which just makes it weirder. Anyone else have this issue? Ive wiped the messaging app cache and changed keyboards from the google keyboard and back again to no avail.
nvm, contacted Oneplus Chat and they advised to wipe cache and data in recovery. That felt a bit extreme, so i wiped cache only and its fine now. Just really odd that it did that in the first place

Textra Notifications Disappear on Pie

This happened to me before on Nougat and the problem was fixed by just disabling battery optimization in the settings, but now on Pie, battery optimization is disabled for Textra and its still doing it. Ill get a notification and it will stay on the screen for about a second and disappear, whether the screen is on or off. Its also intermittent, earlier this morning, it was working fine, now its back to doing it again, restarts don't make any difference either, and I've tried disabling the stock messages app, restarting, and still no dice. Also this is a clean flash, everything except internal storage was wiped prior to updating. Is anyone else having this issue?
I too use Textra and today have been using my Pixel XL with Pie and when receiving texts while looking at another app, the notification icon sidings didn't show, tho the phone vibrated for the incoming text.
I've not experienced this, before, with any phone or Android version / ROM.
