Anyone have a good solution to notifications being terrible in the Fire Phone? The combination of the lack of any sort of notification LED + the fact that the notification bar doesn't actually show you notifications means that its very easy to miss things. If you get a notification from an app that doesn't put it on your lock screen (as in, almost every 3rd party application), the only way you'll ever know is to pull down the notification shade. Is there any way to get it to show something up in the notification bar itself like every other Android phone?
I've been using dynamic notifications, that way you never miss a notification.

Yeah that's the one ?should have linked, apologies.
Once we get fire os 4, we'll be able to use apps such as notific too.

There's this one to try also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641557

That's acdisplay, and depending on your personal preferences might suit you better. I currently use this instead of Dynamic Notifications as I find it a bit more stable and suits my needs better.

I really like this one, thanks. I can't get it to show missed calls, everything else shows up. Any ideas?
I'm not sure, sorry. I hardly use my phone for phone calls lol. It should, in theory, show all notifications. Perhaps the dialler isn't supported and you could try a different dialler app?

I've just found out that on OS 4, there's no such thing as notification access in accessibility ? that's bad news for smart watches and apps such as notific which would use that ?

My older Kindle Fire 8.9 doesn't have notification access either. It came out long before the fire phone. So, I am not sure what's on the tablets will be any indication of what will be in the phone OS.
The Fire hd6 came out after the Fire Phone and runs fire os 4 while the Fire Phone still runs os 3.

I have the 4G LTE version of the kindle and I was wondering if its possible yo text from it? It has a sim card in there and correct APN information. I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms but it keeps saying please wait for service to be available when I have 4 bars.

Anyone? Since I can use data from my sim then should I be able to make calls + text?
I don't think the part that is used for data/3g is the same as what's used for texting and calls, but I am no expert, if u wanna make free calls get magic jack from the play store, as for texting I know multiple methods, but they aren't exactly native they are just apps, and sometimes you have to pay.

Ya I tried the link in the the apps description. I have also extracted my Galaxy Note's texting app. No luck =/
I am on stock Amazon.
I think it would be amazing to get calling and texting to work on it. Its like I am already paying for data which comes with minutes and txts.
Yea I wonder if it would work on cm, I thought I heard that hashcode had it working, but then I read another thread I saw people asking for him to get it to work, so idk.

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!
I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.
Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.

Those are not system updates, they are the LG apps that got updated like lg keyboard and other stuff from LG. Not sure why they can't put in the play store like HTC, Motorola instead of having one more useless app store like Samsung.
No one said they are system updates.
Software updates from the LG Update app. I already did the Keyboard update days before, so it wasn't that.
3 other packages were updated.

It's not an app store like Samsung, it's just an internal update system. The two are really different.
I don't care for the keyboard update. It messes up a lot of the auto correct.

Try typing the word "you'd". Does it recognize it? Also, try ending a sentence with the word "at" and then type a period. Does it switch it to e.g.?

I have an English degree and I frequently use intentionally bad grammar for various reasons. This is a huge reason I can't use Swiftkey either. Both of them are hell-bent on turning your typing into a single style with a concrete set of rules and patterns. Let ME decide what I want to say.

All Samsung devices and most Android devices have the volume settings individually controlled--out of the box with no ....Wanam modes..... (Not a fan) you will be stuck with the segregated controls.

sadly it DID work the first time I edited the nesus messages.. the moto sent the edited message out.. the next day back to default messages. i talked to a motorola rep, she dug a bit and found an internal memo stating these messages were defaultand CAN NOT BE EDITED
This is a basic function here, this should be easily edited at any time. the fact that my unit did use the ones from the nexus 6 kinda tells me it read the nexus messages, then some update or internal setting over-road them......
this must be fixed there is NO reason why I shouldnt be able to use my custome responses....
Just tried to do precisely the same thing. Disappointed to find that changes to the stock quick responses on the N6 don't filter through to the Moto 360.
