Is there a way to hear a notification that you've received an incoming text message while on a call? This was definitely an option on my last phone, the Motorola Droid 4, but I have not been able to find a setting to accomplish this on the HTC One M8.
If there's not a setting on the phone that allows for this, does anyone know of a good app that will do this?
Thanks!
You will need to use an app, try SMS Popup.

Thanks very much. I will check it out. Looking at the description and screen captures briefly, it looks like it's a lot more than I need, but perhaps I can disable a lot of the functionality, or perhaps I'll find I prefer it to what I'm using now. I'll definitely install it and give it a shot. Thanks!

I did wind up installing SMS Popup, but I couldn't get it to do exactly what I wanted it to do, and even with settings on it or my texting app set to their minimal notification settings there were still both inconsistency issues and also issues with me seeing double notification icons, etc., as there was no way to turn off icons on both apps. But most importantly I'm fairly certain that the sound this app would have played to notify me of the incoming text while on a call would have been my default sound, which is not what I'm looking for. So while I do very much appreciate the suggestion thejosh86, I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas?
The sound I'm looking for was the soft tone that you could hear during a call but that the person on the other end of the call could not hear. It was not a ringtone or anything played through the phone's regular speaker. Having done some more searching it appears that this may have been an option removed at the operating system level in some android OS update. But surely there must be people like me who want this functionality and programmers out there who have written something to accomplish the same thing, no?

Is there any program that will either remove and or change when you receive a phone call?

Whats hard to understand, he's looking for an app to change the trackball color when you recieve a call or text. Which I dont think is out yet since theres no full root
What the OP is missing in the post is the word notification.
The top battery led indicator (see page 16 of the G2 user manual "Notification LED") doesn't flash as notification of missed calls, e-mail, etc and a fix should be available soon. I contacted HTC and that's what they told me.
Trackpad notification indicator

One more thing, HTC refers to it as a Trackpad, not "Digital track ball".
See post #31.

Cyanogen has written a file than enables notification. It works for me, but would need to be reinstalled at each reboot.
Try the app noLED. Not perfect, but a decent alternative work-around.

I'd be careful with this...this was made for the amoled screens and it worked well because it only needed to light that small portion of the screen. lcd's are backlit. This has the potential to kill your battery crazy fast.

I love this work-around. I only use it for texts tho, but have yet to see any battery drain.
perhaps i'll leave it on for a while and see if theres any big hits.
Hi, i'm searching for an app to record my dreaming's words. I would like it to record only when someone talks, is there any chance to find something useful to me?
haha i know what you mean! a voice recorder activated by voice so we dont have 6 hours of audio to look through
The only thing I could find while sniffing around was an app that does sound triggered recording, but only by dialing your voicemail number and recording it to that.
Sounds like a simple enough app to write though, perhaps there's a sympathetic Dev out there that could knock up an app for you.
Lol nice idea is there anythin out there like this? Please let us know if ya can find somethin worth to try

I know what you mean.
My mother will telling me that I can answer her questions when I am asleep, but I can never remember doing that.
What you could do is just use a recorder, and record everything during your sleep. Then copy that sound file to your PC and use cool edit to open it, and look through the sound waves. When you see some big spikes on the waves go to them and see if youre saying anything. Might be kinda creepy though, who knows what kind of sounds you'll pick up lol
RL Watcher , it's in the Market.
That said, not too sure if the microphone is going to be good enough (Thanks to Samsungs settings, background sound is noisy!).
Maybe you should change your Title a bit to attract attention. You are looking at an app that can switch on the voice recording when the decibel level increases beyond pre-defined level.
Any ideas?
PS : This can be helpful in a lot of other situations too. You just need to know the minimum decibel level.
Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.
I can access your mind through your dreams using my Android.
I have done a little RnD and made a little progress.
Whenever there is a sound a number is incremented per second of sound.
It works with my galaxy S mic very well.
THERE IS NO INTERFACE AT ALL
I want you to test it.
There is no fear of any harm.
The screen stays on as long as the app is active.
But as you may or may not know a black screen on the SGS is an off screen.
The way to work the app is
Install the app.
Set the phone down on your table/nightstand.
Open the app
Don't click anything
Go to sleep (you don't really need to sleep just speak in intervals in a moderately quiet room/simulate your bed room/simulate your sleep voice)
Hopefully make noise in your sleep. Not very loud noise is needed.
Wake up
Press the menu key...you may have to wait a fraction of a sec.
A notification will give you 2 numbers.
Tell me those numbers.(You can round off NO 2 if you want to)
If first number is > 1 then you are successful else not successful.
EXIT THE APP WITH THE BACK BUTTON
If you exit with another way then you may have to restart the phone to get your mic working fine again(stupid mic implementation of mic on SGS).
Test it and tell me how it goes.

I don't know about that for now.
The app is still in its alpha stage.
We can keep it in a proposed list of features.
Right now the app only lists number of seconds you have been making noise.
The SGS has a weird implementation of AudioRecoding
I am still going through the docs.
Once I manage to implement the recorder, more features will be added.
Please reply with the values you are getting from the app.
Thanks
Gonna test the app now
EDIT: Crashes immediatly on Cyanogen Mod
would it be possible to mod the phone so that when on silent the LED Flash does a strobe kind of thing to notify you of an email, missed call, text, etc...?
Has this been done on any other phones that anyone is aware of?

The original concept for the app was to flash the menu keys for devices without a notification LED. You might be able to request from the dev a mod to make it for the camera flash?
Update:
The original thread for the app is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
If you look at the first post, screenshot #3, the 6th config choice is "Use flashlight instead of hard buttons" -- might be worth trying out... :good:
Try flash blink. To lazy to search for the forums. Its a really great app. Just no LED for email. Only alarms, text and calls.

That is awesome. It lights up the entire side of my desk, it's exactly what I needed!
I knew I had to search for one and when I found it, it was awesome. Now I could have my phone out and in silent and the blink would notify me. Works with my 3rd party message app as well.

Hi, I am on the latest Nexus 6 ASOIP however experience the same issue. I have XDA Premium with notifications set to tell me when someone quotes me, but I never receive any. I have to check the web version to see that.
I too have been looking for a way to receive quote notifications, but to no success....

I receive them in my email. I'm not sure why though. I looked in my control panel here on XDA (settings & options>edit options) and the only thing I can see that looks like it could be related is a setting that says "Receive Email from Administrators". I use my Gmail address here so they always get pushed to my phone that way. Like I said, I don't know if that's the setting that causes me to get them or not. It's the only thing I can find in there that looks even remotely related though. Maybe check in your control panel and see if you have that setting enabled or not.
It's not the ideal solution for you, I know, but, it does work well for me.

OK
Notifications never seem to work,and I'm not sure if its the app or some other issue. A few years ago, in the hayday stages of the app development notifications were instantly pushed. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't revieve a notification from one of you. I have to subscribe to the thread in order to bookmark it for later viewing.
Anyone knows how can I change incoming call notification popup to something better/bigger like all other phones use ?
Can't add picture but it looks like on this video (sorry can't post links - (Google youtube video "MIUI 12 Incoming call"), but imagine that popup window is all black so you can barely distinguish it from background and recognize that 'buttons' to answer or reject call.
It makes especially big problem when I am driving and using navigation. It's may be danger to look closely on screen to read who is calling and trying to hit small buttons with your finger. This is the only phone which doesn't have dedicated popup window for incoming calls, just use regular like all other notifications. Even Pixel phone, which use same Google Dialer, has normal one with two big green/red buttons.

you can try to use another dialer app e.g. drupe, true caller, or any other app you like and make it your default.

I will recommend to try out Xiaomi.EU Rom, it's quite better than the global one.

I have considered Xiaomi.Eu but I can't mess with my phone that much since it's not mine, but I have got it in my workplace.
