i have updated to the OTA Jellybean (toro, VZW) a week ago..
everytime i receive an email or text message, my phone will not stop the notification sound until i check the message, or pull down the menu bar from the lock screen.. only then will it stop the notification sound...
now the problem i am having is that, when i do receive an email or text and i do not check it for a few minutes or so, then i receive another one before checking the first notification, it plays 2 notifications simultaneously, and trying to check or dismiss the notification, the last one goes away, but the first one keeps playing, even after checking all notifications, making sure everything is checked as read from texts to emails..
restarting the phone is the only thing that stops the notification sound... if i don't restart, even making a phone call or playing songs or youtube will continue the notification sound... this is my 2nd gnex from warranty, first one had the headphone issue where it was stuck in headphone mode.. i have tried factory reset, still the same problem...
Ota updates can cause issues like this when previous data isnt properly cleared. delete the data folder on the sd card where android caches all its system apps before you initiate the reset. Ive seen alot of phones do theres sort of things when versions upgrade and apps update but previous caches arent .
Default path is Android/data

Hey guys, first post here of many hopefully.
Been following this thread from near the beginning and have finally got my hands on a HTC Desire via Vodafone Twitter deal
Absolutely love this phone and it's the envy of all my friends which is never a bad thing. I'm constantly discovering new things which is awesome and I'm pleased I came and saw the Android side.
Anyway, I've come across a problem.
When receiving texts, I've noticed that the phone will not vibrate. I've made sure that vibrate setting in the Messaging settings is green ticked and that Notifications is ticked. But still not working. It works when i'm rang just not when texted.
Have tried using Handcent messaging app but had the same problem... What can I do?
Thanks guys
I've had the same problem since I got mine two weeks ago.
Have you resolved this in any way? It's bloody annoying!
Hmm, strange... seems to work on my phone ok.
Since you have already tried Handcent, try the app "Sound Manager," from the Android Marketplace. Use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it see if that works.
Other than that, backup your data and try a hard reset (also try without SD card inserted) to eradicate any potential software bugs.
Tried sound manager, still no help.
I can get calls and notifcations to vibrate when on the normal profile and set them to vibrate, but on my normal profile I want sound only, so have vibrate turned off. When I change to the vibrate only profile, it will only vibrate for calls and not notifications.

For months now, i havent been getting fb notifications through the official app. even before i upgraded to ICS and rooted my phone. I've flashed the firmware multiple times and the notifications never worked, no matter what i tried (uninstalling update, ending the activity on my account settings on fb.com etc)...
But last week, I flashed my phone and surprisingly I was getting all my notifications for some days now without a problem. Then I was forced to flash my phone again last night and since then, no more push notifications at all....
Any advice? Same thing is basically happening with my twitter app, but twitter shoes the notification up top and even vibrates, it just doesnt ring off no matter how many times iv changed the notification sound, and yes the volume is all the way up

Hi all, my mom has an LG G3 phone. Have noticed many weird things happening on the phone since today.
The notification panel won't slide down. Also, no notifications are displayed in the notification bar, even when there are notifications, like receiving sms or messages on Whatsapp.
The phone has a swipe lock screen. But, the lock screen won't work, even though it shows in Security settings, that there is one.
Calls are being made from the phone, but no calls are being received. For example, if I call the phone, it says that the person is busy and the connection ends. My brother had also tried calling... same thing.
No apps can be downloaded or updated from the Play Store.
I tried to connect the phone to the PC, but, since I cannot slide down the notification panel, there is no way to change the connection mode to transfer data.
I should mention that the storage on the phone was getting close to being filled, and the phone was showing the warning that storage was less and that some of the functions might stop working. So, are these things because of that?
But, I did delete a lot of photos and videos and uninstalled apps, and now there is sufficient storage for the phone to run properly, but it still doesnt work, and these weird stuff are happening.
I suspect from the weird behavior that there might be a virus. Is that so?
What do I do? How will the phone return to sanity? How do I backup the data... if the solution is to factory reset the phone. There are important photos and videos and whatsapp data which I would like to save before performing a reset.
Any help will be appreciated.
Any help please?
I am really sorry. The phone my mom has is Motorola Moto G3 and not LG G3. I got confused.
I request the admins to please delete this thread, and I am again really sorry.
Hi!
First of all, I'm new to this phone - I owned it for about 2 weeks. and I'm very happy with it. Nonetheless I have noticed an issue that I hope someone can help me out with:
Since the phone doesn't have the notification LED, I have tried out a couple of apps to facilitate this function. I ended up uninstalling them. Now I experience that some notifications are not coming through (so far I've noticed text messages). I'm trying to figure out whether this is an issue with the phone, or if it might have something to do with the notification apps that I tested? I configured the apps and settings/permissions as necessary to get them to work, but I never reset those same settings before I uninstalled.
The issue I am facing is e.g. if a text message is sent to my phone (with display not on), the text and/or notification randomly doesn't get through until I wake the phone. After waking it, the message comes through immediately. Could this have something to do with testing those notification apps? If so, is there any way to find the specific settings and reset them or am I facing a factory reset to get it to work properly again?
Any help or hint is appreciated
My Pixel 6 Pro has a similar problem ever since the Mar 5 update has been installed. Since then, every phone call I made comes with the non-stop notification tone literally every second. For now, I managed to get around it by enabling the "DND Mode", but it isn't a long-term solution.
Is there a way I can re-apply the same update? or flashing a new one would help?
To be clear, you're saying that you keep getting the notification tone even after answering the call? If so, is it the same as your ringtone?
Is your bootloader unlockable? If so, Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own).
It wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't fix the issue, however. Have you tried rebooting? Maybe clear the cache and app data for the Phone app (but then you'd have to re-customize the settings for the phone app to your preferences).
I'm not on the March update, but I also don't receive many phone calls anyway.
that notification tone, during normal time, represents incoming message. It is very short, unlike a ringtone..
Tried rebooting and clearing cache and app data of the Phone app. In fact, that notification could likely come from anything like WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter...
I noticed that the repeating tones would not happen if the phone is on silent mode. So for now this is my workaround.
Very interesting, and strange. There have been settings in some OEM's phone apps you could enable to get notification tones at regular paces - usually once a minute - while on a phone call, but the issue on yours is only similar since it's constant / every second.
I stick with my recommendation of clearing the app cache and data for the Phone app. I also assume you're using the stock Phone app that Google provides.
In my previous phone (OnePlus 6T), the very same tone happens once in a while, but only at the moment an incoming message arrives. Pretty sure I am not getting a new message every second this time around, and I think it was triggered by apps other than the Phone app. I just noticed that the same symptom showed up when I tried to play video clips from certain apps as well.
And yes, I am using the stock Phone app.
Sounds like a factory reset and only selectively installing and configuring apps, or trying to figure out which app is causing the issue.
If you factory reset, I would first not even restore any apps at all, so you can verify if you have the same problem without any third-party apps installed at first. I would suspect you won't have issues then. And then when you install apps, do it in groups of your most important ones first, maybe at the most 10 at a time, then re-verify each time if you have the same issue or not, then the next batch of app installs. It could be a particular setting in a app as well, so it's possibly merely installing an app might not be enough, so each group of apps you install, make sure and configure them as well.
If you don't factory reset, go the opposite way, uninstall your least important third-party apps and see if the issue disappears. Keep track of which apps you're uninstalling in each group. Keep doing this in reasonably sized groups of apps until you narrow down when the problem stops happening.
Once you find which group of apps being uninstalled keeps the issue from happening, you can reinstall in even smaller batches, among the ones you most recently uninstalled, and eventually find the one causing the issue. In some ways I think it's easier to go the other way around, though, start with a factory reset.
Found the culprit!
Kind of silly: I have installed this app "Internet Speed Meter Lite" when I first started using my P6P, which is for me to monitor my real-time network usage (courtesy of that endless WhatsApp - Google Drive restoring process....). It basically refreshes itself every second and this morning I tried temporarily disabling it, the problem goes away even when the phone is not set to silent mode.
Glad I didn't have to come to the point of factory resetting the device, as I really don't want to go through the WhatsApp restoring process.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.
