[Q] Need help with ringer please - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have searched around and cant find an answer. the ringer on my pone is not working all the time. I keep getting missed calls while the pone is sitting next to me so I know its not sounding. I am on stock rooted. I do have advanced call blocker and alarm droid but have had them for a long time and never had a problem. I have frozen them to see if it helps but I dont get alot of calls and If I ask someone to call of course it wont do it. you know how that goes. I also have made sure the flip to silence is not checked and did toggle it to be sure. Would appreciate any input.
I will be sure to hit "thanks"

Try to go to settings,applications,,manage applications, all, settings, and clear data. That is going to force closed the settings apk maybe that fix your problem.

Last resort, perform a master reset.

Do you see a missed call message or just the VM? Are you using a default, built-in ringtone or something personalized?

I am actually using a custom ringtone. I have a "audio" folder that I use to replace the stock sounds. I never even thought of that but I dont see why it would work sometimes and not always. The text and every other notification sound works fine and always, its just the phone ringer that I am having problems with. I do see a missed call on the lock screen, and I checked to make sure I didnt have any blocking on any contacts. I have no special ringtone for any contacts, everything there is set to default. Do you think if I assign a special tone for certain contacts that would help? Ill give it a shot just to see. Thanks

i use ringdroid, and zedge

Try using rings extended, it lets you select any music file on your sd or phone as a ringtone

Receiving SMS messages after phone call and/or missed call

Is there a cab that can disable the SMS msg I get after a phone call or missed one?
And yes, I have searched high & low for a solution on this site & can't find it.
Thanks!
So, my situation is unique? No one else has had this issue?
It's not an sms message.. it's just a pop up... and its dependent on what rom you are using really on how you turn on and off your notifications. If you are running a custom rom like Energy or something go to their thread and ask how to disable the particular notification.
usually its settings\sounds and notifications\ then go to the notifications tab and in there you can change what your phone does for different events.

You want to turn off the "missed call" icon on the task bar? I don't recall anyone requesting this before...

No, he wants to turn of the message that comes in with details about the missed call (date/time).
The missed call notification was off. Actually, it shows as a SMS message with the phone number that called or the call that I made. It definitely seems like a ROM issue - just flashed to Jackos' (so far perfect IMO) ROM & haven't had that issue at all. Thanks - I think I've found the solution.
Hey guys, the damn notification is back again! What the hell is that?
Are you using Youmail for your Voicemail?

text notification while in call?

i just rooted my Evo to 2.2 (thanks Netarchy!!!) and with the updated radio and WiMax... when ever im using the phone and i recieve a text, my text notification will come in as if im not using the phone. what can i do to fix the problem so far i tried everything i can think of
as far as I know, you could have always received texts while in a call.. I know I have...
how is this a problem? and its normal as far as i know.
i dont think the op is talking about how the text comes in while on a call but how when it comes in on froyo whatever sound you have set for a notification plays too
it wasnt like that before.

sorry for the hazy explanation but he's correct. before i rooted to froyo my notification sound was a transformer's notification, and while in call the text would come in as a default notification (titled "little"). now after root everything is set up the same, when i am on a call and a text comes through, the transformer's notification comes in rather the default.
has anyone else notice this phenomenon?

the notification settings are in two different places. you can do the standard menu-settings-sound/notification for default or you can open the messaging app and goto settings/notifications for more customization. each have different options, the one you are talking about is in the messaging app i believe.
I have, it vibrates next to my ear, kinda annoying. just glad i get some kind of notification unlike before

i know about both notifications in the settings/message app. its to the point that i cant even hear what the other person is saying because my text notification comes in when i receive one. never had to worry about that before rooting to froyo.
I don't think it's an issue with rooted vs non rooted. I downloaded froyo on tuesday via update on phone. I have not rooted my copy. If I am on a call, and a text comes in, it plays my text alert music through the ear piece while on my call and I can't hear the person on the phone at all. God help me if it is on speaker phone, it breaks up and such...
menu, settings, sound, volume, uncheck use incoming call volume then slide the notification volume down a bit. Not sure if this will work for you but it seems to have reduced it quite a bit for me.
EXACTLY! wasnt like that before with 2.1 im so happy that im not going crazy about it, any ideas on how to solve it?
anyone with thoughts?
any body???
its become quite annoying, and its definitely a 2.2 vs. 2.1 issue rather than a rooted vs.nonrooted issue, wish i could figure out a way to fix it
theres an app on the market called handcent which solves the problem. downside is that it runs a bit laggy at leas on my phone but better than whats been going on
i use handcent. in the settings, under notification settings, there is an option to notify while in call. i have mine on, because i prefer it. you can disable it, if you wish.
i didn't look through the default messaging app too deeply, because i was getting sick of having dual notifications, so i disabled all of those, and only use handcent's.
whether you would still get notifications in call, without having handcent, is beyond me, only because i'm not going to uninstall handcent and test it. i wish you the best.
alternatively, you could disconnect the phone and notification volumes (menu>settings>sound>general/volume uncheck use ringer volume for notification volume) and slide notification volume all the way down.
if you turn the notification volume down, u wont get any sound while on call or not on a call. how is handcent running for you? in comparison to the default messaging app?

handcent is my preferred messaging application. i haven't tried chompsms, but some people like it.
i like the fact that i can customize handcent to look and act like i choose. in conjunction with adfree, i don't have to look at ads either. best of all worlds.

[Q] Where the heck is the vibration option?

Having an issue with go sms pro which i'm sure some have had before; there is no vibration with notifications.
Now this is being caused because for some odd reason, system vibration is turned off, or so go sms says. There is no option in ANYWHERE to enable vibration in stock TW. I was able to fix this problem with my s3 by downloading a program called audiomanager, and setting it from within there, but as of new versions of this program, there doesn't seem to be an option for it in the free version.
So i come to you in a time of need. How in the world do i enable system vibration?! :crying:
Saw this on the tmobile website. Hope it helps:

I'm getting "Object not found!" on that url after a bit of trying to load whatever it is. Mind copy/pasting the details?

If you go into messages>menu>settings>scroll down to notifications setting and make sure vibrate is checked...... The phone will vibrate even when you are in sound mode. I cant figure out how to make it vibrate only in vibrate mode for messages. Hope this helps!!!

I assume you're talking about default messaging app, and it only works for itself. If i want to use another app like go sms, i'd need to uncheck notifications in that little area, also disabling vibration.
There is a master setting that needs to be enabled for it to work in go sms, but it's no where to be found.

Did you check under setting>my device>sound>vibration intensity ?
Gonna revive this old thread for anyone who is interested in this fix.
I've tried everything in this thread and nothing worked. I decided to go to the play store and search "system settings" in hopes that someone might have made an extended settings app for this reason. I came across an app called "Smart Settings". This app allows you to create custom profiles that have an on/off toggle for notification vibration; something current touchwiz versions, if not all android versions lack. All you need to do is create a custom profile with notification vibration set to on, enable, then uninstall. There's no other app or system option that will allow you to toggle the master notification vibration setting, so 3rd party apps like gosms will work flawlessly. Switching between built in vibrate only and sound on profiles do not effect the master system vibration option.
I hope this helps anyone with this issue. It was a pain in the ass to find something that actually worked.

Success! Thanks so much, there was an app I had used ages ago that did the same thing but then they made it pro only. I didn't uninstall but froze through Titanium Backup so it's there when I get flash happy and need to restore the vibrate. Now I won't miss all my damn texts.
Glad this helped at least one person out.

[Q] disable missed call sound notification

Hi everyone,
I'm having a rather weird problem, hope you can help me out.
Every time I don't answer a call (have a missed call) right after the call ends, the phone starts playing a notification (annoying one for that manner).
I assume that it"s alerting me about a missed call. supposably this should be a no brainier, and the option to disable it is supposed to be somewhere in the settings. But I can't find that setting. and the notification is driving me crazy.
Does anybody have any idea how to turn it off?????
Of course thank you for your time and effort...

well if your phone is rooted and have xposed framework install you can install the g3tweaksbox... from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
the only way to disable those sound notifications without root etc is to put phone on vibrate or silent... the g3tweaksbox gets updated and soon will have more features (you can download the beta if you want)
I am rooted and have g3 tweak box... On its beta 1.1. But didn't see any option there to disable the iterating notification...

I guess wait till the next g3tweakbox update... it should be implemented soon...
I hope so... It's crazy LG didn't give us an option to disable it...

No incoming call popup when using phone.

If I am reading on my phone and a call comes in I don't get any visual popup to answer or decline. The phone rings but I have to pull down the notification bar in order to answer.
I usually keep do not disturb on at all times with only favorites allowed through so don't know if it's the problem or something else is.
For example, if one of my kids calls I hear it ring but I have to search/ take extra steps in order to answer the call.
This only seems to happen with the screen on. I believe it works fine when screen is off.
How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I actually already had that setting checked.
I ended up finding another setting that seems to have fixed it. Can't remember where I found it but as long as it's working........
Glad you found it, had the same problem and I think I found the setting you did. For anyone else with this problem, in the Do Not Disturb setting, under Hide Notifications, there are settings that can be toggled for both screen on and screen off situations. Adjusting these should fix the issues.
Cheers,
