just got this phone
very complicated for me so for
but anyways i had a mytouch 3g before this
just wondering if i have to change plans or anything to have 3g working on my touch pro 2, because as of right now when i go to the browser tab it says web2go...
so what am i supposed to do ?
also is it possible to sync contacts from gmail? if so how
and is there a landscape full qwerty keyboard?
and is there a t9 keypad as well? i know you can install them, i had one on my mytouch 3g but just wondering if theres any out for this phone
also ive had an xperia x1 before , i always had issues connecting to wifi with that phone, this one seems to be having problems
it says connected but i cant browse the web
the wifi seems to be turning off by itself?
ill stay connected for like 3 seconds then it goes off...
You don't have to change anything to get 3g working.
There is a landscape full qwerty keyboard, click the keyboard icon when in landscape mode.
There is t9 for the virtual and physical keyboard. you can turn it on in settings.
What error do you get when browsing the web. The wifi turns off by default if the phone goes into sleep mode.

Amazingly easy using Google Sync, and extremely useful. You can also sync your Google Calendar and Gmail.

There's a couple posts in the forum about forcing edge instead of 3G. Just do a search in general and/or software and tweaks.
I use a program called NoHTCdatadriver that allows you to toggle the data state of your phone.
In the meantime, while you're figuring out the best tweak for you, I'd suggest you just turn off your data in the communication settings until you need data. You'd actually notice battery savings then.
I'm trying to find an app which runs a server or something on the phone and is able to turn on the ringer.
I keep loosing my phone in my house and it takes me ages to find it again. Even calling myself doesn't work since sometimes the phone is in silent mode without vibration.
Is there an app on the market which remotely turns on the ringer (even the phone was in silent mode) and has a simple web interface? Lets say my phone is connected to Wifi or 3G, I type in the IP Adress of my phone in an internet explorer and click on "locate" or something
Thanks
Tasker can handle something like that. It's an amazing program, so worth the $5 (or $6 from the market), but you can download a 7 day trial from the website:
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
You should be able to set up a task to turn on the ringer (or to play a song or tone or whatever) when a particular text string is sent to the phone. Or, presuming you have a landline, you can turn the ringer on when you call just from that line. Lots of ways to do it.
Have a look on the market for
Wheres my droid
A simple text can set off the ringer, enable gps and txt you location etc...

tasker sounds interesting, does it need root?
Wheres my Droid is exactly what I'm looking for, but it would be great if I could activate it by mail and not by phone only (cant send mails to a phone number in germany)
Tasker doesn't require root, I don't think there's anything it does that would require it (could be wrong, I do have root, but it's not listed as a requirement). I don't think it handles emails, though, either. But I'd say you can call it and use Tasker to handle the call from a specific number. I checked and nothing else comes to mind as a way to find it, but it's worth testing out if you think you can use Tasker for other things (I have alarms, various profile changes, app events, headphone plugins, etc) - with some work, it does replace several programs I was using. Haven't lost my phone, though
On the tasker website, it lists "Email (K9)" as a compatible event - does that mean emails through the Gmail App will work as well?
sorry to bring up an old thread, but is there an app that works stictly on WiFi only? I have an Android phone with no service and I would like a Find my phone app usable on WiFi
I noticed that the Nexus misses LED notifications and won't go out to check for email unless I wake the phone and open the email app. Pretty annoying. Does it have anything to do with the sleep setting on the phone ?
For example: I work in an environment where I can't always pick up my phone, that's why I prefer the LED notifications. Someone called through the land line and asked if I recieved an important email, they also texted. I wake the phone and there was a text with no LED notification and no email. So I opened the email app and then 10 came through.It is set for 15 minute intervals and SYNCH on all accounts. WTF ?
Later I wake the phone, to find 2 voicemails and no LED notification. It is also set to vibrateand ring on calls and sometimes I believe it doesn't even ring, or vibrate.
Anyone else having this issue ?
I can't say I've had this problem but I'm pretty sure the notification led does not light up indefinitely. You would need a third party app like light flow.

I am having the exact same issue and it is really starting to annoy me (especially since I spent $900CDN to get this device). Anybody have any suggestions on a fix? I have to enter the email application in order to receive new emails. I have it set to check for emails every 10 minutes, it just doesn't.
There is another options for mail - you can setup different notification options for each label (folder) - by default you have there only for inbox. For gmail - there are also options for other labels too (and by default - there are no notifications specified).

I wonder why it worked for a few days and then quit.
Sync is fine here. And so is indicator. Used lightdlow for a bit but the repeated superuser requests made me uninstall

It might be because of your mails belongs to Inbox and Priority box or other labels and you might have notifications and synchronization only for some of them. Not really sure.

Do you have to have the sync feature enabled for it to work. I want to be able to delete emails from my handset only so sync is not important to me. I just can't seem to get my device to "grab" the emails unless I physically open the email app.

The phone will not poll for emails at your set interval (ten minutes) if sync is not on. The reason you get emails when you open the email app is because it auto-syncs when you open the email app.

Actually, mine worked at the beginning too, but for the last 2 days, nada. Just turned the "sync" feature on but it doesn't seem to have cured the problem.
I've found that my "sync" keeps turning itself off, somewhat randomly. Which would cause the problems mentioned in this thread. So just because you set it on doesn't mean it stays on.
I have a thread on it in the Q&A thread. A poorly visited thread =(
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378985
This does annoy, greatly.
EDIT:
Oops, realized this would affect google account related stuff (gmail, voice) but probably not email related notifications, since they are not 'syncing' an account, but just polling a server.
on that note, go to your Gmail account under accounts and make sure mail is set to sync

Ahh... found out my problem. User error.
On the power widget, I thought the rotating arrows was for auto-rotate.
They are not.
Apparently that's the universal sign for SYNC.
Or auto-rotate.

Precisely. That threw me for a loop several times when my brother has come to me asking why Gmail wouldn't sync. The problem is you can (intentionally or unintentionally) hit the "sync" button on the power widget, then delete the widget, and have noooo idea why you're not getting your mail .
Glad you figured it out.
Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.
I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?
Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.
Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.
I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.
Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.
I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....
Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.
1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.
I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with MyFord Touch, and I used the SMS functionality with my old LG G3 with no issues.
When I got a new text message, a notification would pop up on my car screens for only that message.
With my Pixel XL, however, whenever I get a new text message while connected to my car, the car pops up a new message notification for every single message that I received since my phone was last connected to my car.
Often this means that I get like 20 or so new message notifications in a row, a second or two apart. It's extremely annoying, and it essentially means my car's displays are unusable and it makes the stupid notification sound repeatedly until it catches up.
Is anyone having a similar issue with their car bluetooth?
Any ideas how to fix it?
yeah im having the same issue and boy is it one annoying bug ...... my temp fix was in bluetooth settings you have a gear next to your car name and you can select what your car has access to and you can uncheck message access
I had the same issues. I don't even use the feature. I prefer my phone reading me my texts. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the bluetooth update that Google is working on. I was happy to discover the message access check box, and turn it off, in my pixel's bluetooth settings.
Though, I think Ford needs to put in the ability to turn this off stereo side, as well. You can turn off the sound but not the actual notification on MFT.

Holy fk was this annoying. I've had all good things to say about my pixel but the bluetooth issues are bad, and it's not just this bug. I had music playing over a phone call yesterday very annoying, I had to cancel it in app. Also some times audio doesn't turn off when I get out of my car when it disconnects.

I have the same problem with my '16 F150 with Sync 3. Every single message will download and the notification will play. I just went into the Bluetooth options and removed notification access.

Same here with my 2015 Escape. I only let my Pixel connect for music now. I'm assuming this will also be the case with my Ford GT350 but have not tested that yet.

What you mean it notifies you for every new sms or repeats notifications for old sms? Did you use some sort of sms recovery? If so they would be considered essentially as new sms..

When you get a text it will notify on the radio for the text you just got then it will stay notify you for every sing text in your messaging app regardless of new or old .... I did not do a text restore , did it from a fresh flash I had about 50 text that day and on my ride home got a new text and bam all 50 started to pop up

Add another here. 2013 Explorer. I also just disabled message access in Bluetooth settings until this is fixed.

Yeah, I ended up turning off the notification sound for now. I may end up just turning off message access altogether.
It just sucks because I do like being able to have my car read me my text messages.
I really hope they fix this soon.

Same here, '16 F150. I turned to the Sync 3 message notification to Silent, so at least there's a gentle popup when I get a message, and the phone's notification sound still comes through if I'm streaming audio via BT
I was hoping that the latest update would fix this, but I'm still having this issue with 63X.
Last update (V) fixed this on my Focus. Either that or the update cleared some data / cache or fixed something else that was causing it.
Same issue for 2015 Chevy Silverado
