Carrier pop-ups reset notification volume - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

(Accidentally posted this on another forum initially)
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile (SGH T-989). After sending a SMS , I always get a pop-up from my carrier indicating my balance.
As soon as this pop-up appears (along with a vibration that I can't seem to disable, despite having vibrations disabled in the settings menu), my notification volume gets reset to 25% always.
Is there any way to fix this? I downloaded an app called "Volume Locker" that resolves this , but I'd appreciate it if I could fix this issue without it, and especially that vibration.
My carrier is Airtel (India) btw.

WM6/HTC Home volume setting keeps getting reset

Hi,
Anybody have probs with a Vario II/Hermes and WM6 whereby you set the ringer mode to "vibrate only" in the HTC Home application, but then randomly throughout the day it resets itself to the default 50% on both sliders?
When I check the HTC Home app it still thinks that I'm on "vibrate only" but the icon in the titlebar says otherwise. I can either set the sliders manually, or just press the "vibrate only" button in the HTC Home app to correct it, but I'm fed up with having to do it several times a day.
The speaker is pretty loud on these so it's annoying when I get an email and the entire building can hear it...

1. which HTC Home version are you using?
2. which rom you are using?
3. did you hard reset you device manually after upgrade?
4. try to flash rom with HTC home built if you wish to have that.

Hi, thanks for the response! Answers below:
1. There's no version number that I can see - I downloaded it from here though.
2. The ROM is from the T-Mobile UK "upgrade your phone" page - it doesn't come with the HTC stuff on it as standard so I installed them from the downloads posted here. I chose it because it makes it semi-official, and I thought that I'm more likely to get help if I brick the phone...
3. Yup. In fact, for various reasons the device has been reset a number of times, and I've even done a hard-reset and re-installed all the HTC stuff to try to fix it.
4. Is this a known problem then? Do I need a non-official ROM with HTC Home installed to make it work?
I have actually taken to using the main volume control in the top bar to set my phone to "vibrate", but it still has this odd behaviour of randomly reverting to a loud setting. I'm wondering now if the HTC Home app is a red herring, and that something else (ActiveSync? Meeting reminders?) could be overriding my volume setting? I never user the phone as a phone - it's just my email device so there's never a requirement for it to have the ringer volume up higher than "vibrate"!

Galaxy Nexus - Zone Notification

I've this issue where a sim card with a gear icon labeled as 'ZONE' is present at all times in the notification bar which unfortunately cannot be dismissed. Carrier is Videotron and from what I understand, all their NG's have this issue. I've dug around and have discovered that it's related to the SIM Toolkit APK and can be removed by rooting and deleting or freezing STK.APK. Force stopping is temporary as the APK eventually gets re-launched.
I've been reluctant to do the above, was resigned to tolerate it and then finally stumbled on a way to get rid of the notification. Note that it's a hack and has to be redone following a reboot or when turning the phone on, however, I like it for the reason that rooting and deleting or freezing the APK is not required:
- Put phone in Airplane mode
- Pull down the notification blind
- Long press on the Zone notification - APP INFO button will appear below the notification
- Hit the APP INFO button that appeared
- SIM TOOLKIT app info page will appear
- FORCE STOP the SIM Toolkit
- Turn Airplane mode off
And the notification is gone and will not reappear until the phone is rebooted. Perhaps a flag is not set when force stoping the APK in airplane mode, and consequently, the APK is not re-launched. Just a guess.
This is working for me and would appreciate if anyone else could confirm that this is a workable hack for GN's that have this issue. About my phone, I flashed stock YAKJU, rec'd OTA JB update, bootloader is unlocked, phone is NOT rooted.

Zone remover
FYI
This app removes the zone icon (sim card) from the notification bar of the phone. This is a common situation for customer of Videotron to determinate if the customer is in his Zone or not.

Multiple issues in Oneplus 3

Hello people
I am facing the following issues in my phone which is running OxygenOS 3.2.1.
1. Push notifications not coming until the phone is unlocked again
2. Alert slider causing the phone to go completely silent.
To add to the misery I was using my wifi on 2.4 GHz band but when I tried to connect to 5GHz band it does not connect and the error shows wifi connection failure. All my other devices are connected successfully to this band even my 4 year old Nexus 4 but Oneplus 3 does not seem to connect for a single time
This is really becoming disappointed for me bow after push notification and alert slider issues.
The range of 2.4 GHz wifi is not even half of what my Nexus 4 used give me.
I am using ASUR WRT 68u router.
These are very basic features of a cellphone which are required on the very first moment.
I am Totally frustrated with this device as I can't use it for my daily life!!! I don't know if people in this forum are not having any such issues with their devices.
1. push notification can be blocked when the screen is locked (to avoid that other people can see SMS for example). In the "When device is locked" option, "show all notification content" should be selected if you want notification. Also the alert slider should be on the 3rd position, the position closed to the volume up button. If you want to use the middle slider position, you need to select some apps as priority apps for notification.
2. hmmm I think it's the purpose of the alert slider... especialy in the 1st position, the further to the volume up button.
It's strange you seems to misunderstand it as when you put in silent mode, it say "silent" on the screen. I put my phone in english to be sure, maybe the translation in your language is not accurate.
Anyway the slider mode can be customized in the alert slider options.
For wifi, it seems ok for me but I can't test 5GHz at the moment.
1. Not sure if I see this behaviour but if I do isn't botherimg me.
2. I know put slider to silent and it silences the phone, this is probably my favourite feature of the phone. Completely silence the phone without even taking it out of my pocket genius.
3. Sent on my 5ghz WiFi connection.

I think you misunderstood me. Here are your replies:
1. The push notification issue is a doze mode bug since the notifications do appear and the sound plays ok until the device enters into doze mode after which there is no notification and no connectivity maintained which causes the notifications to stop, once the phone is unlocked the notifications start to appear
2. Well I know the purpose of alert slider and I am talking about when the slider is is normal position i.e. downwards, sometimes the notification sounds disappear and there is complete silence, the slider has to be cycled again by moving upward then downward to fix the issue.
for the slider, wipe your phone completely, reset it in other words.
If your slider bug still there, contact oneplus customer service to replace your phone.
and your first problem seems to be related to the second one as it enter the silent mode on it's own.

I have completely wiped off the phone and installed 3.2.1 from the signed flashable zip... the wifi issue is still there
I will check and update about the first two issues if they're solved... I have contacted customer support but they have not provided a satisfactory response yet.
When I upgraded to 3.2.1, I had the same issues as stated above AS WELL AS an issue with VoLTE that forced me to disable LTE in order to have a decent phone call. I reverted back 3.1.2 until OnePlus gets these issues ironed out. Overall, 3.1.2 has been much better for me.
I have installed freedomOS from xda and stock ROM again.. wifi issue is resolved but push notification and alert slider issues still persist in freedomOS as well as stock ROM.. I don't have VoLTE feature here so can't test
About the random silence, did you restore apps and settings from old phonethat had automatic disturb profiles? If so, reset and do not restore...
I'm not experiencing any of these issues, only issue is the random turn off

Notifications not showing up

Hi there
Sometimes when I receive an email the notification will not show up on the phone, that is no sound and no led notification.
However as soon as I press the power button or unlock the screen the notification will pop up.
It is almost as if the device goes to sleep state when screen is turned off.
The emails that I miss at times due to this problem are time sensitive and really important for my work.
Such delays are at times resulting in direct monetary loss.
This was never an issue on my Galaxy Note 3 from which I have upgraded.
Can anyone of you guide and assist me as to which settings need to be changed to get it to work properly.
Many thanks for your time.
I have a simmilar issue here. Some notifications show up normally, like mail and facebook, but other apps only show notifications if i have they are opened.
It's like the system is forcing close those apps.

Still haven't found any solution.
Things I have tried :
1. Going to Power Master > Battery Mode > Balance
Thinking that in other modes it would kill background apps to save power.
2. Went to Power Master > Autostart Manager > Added apps I need notifications to start on system startup.
Apart from the mentioned problem, I see another one.
I opened What's app notification setting and turned Group Notifications off and Message notifications are set to show silently and minimize.
However the app itself changes the setting and forces messages on screen by itself over riding my changes. Have been happening since a long time now no matter how many times I change the settings.
Update if you can find any resolution.

Sound push notification issue

I have a problem with the sound notification from one app. Basically I turned on all permissions, auto start, all the stuff I could find on youtube still I don't receive sound and vibration notification from the app. It is a simple app where you get notified with two beeps sound 15 minutes before set time and I have floating notification and visual when the phone is in my hand, but when it is locked it doesn't notify me, it is shown on lock screen but doesn't awake the mobile phone and doesn't reproduce sound notification. Hope someone can help me, thank you in advance. Also on the dropdown menu and lock screen some facebook notifications are cut in half, are those MIUI system problems, or should I consider returning the phone because of some kind of error of this particular phone.

I had a similar issue with notifications and I fixed it by enabling "notification access" to "xiaomi service framework" in system settings. If that doesn't work, I'd try factory resetting.

I don't think it will work, but my question is how to add exceptions to the security and cleaner I assume that is a problem?
