I have searched for the picture but I cannot find it.
At one time I could pull down from the top and where the notifications were, I had a widget there that had my calculator, flashlight, power bost etc. I have played with several launchers the other day I downloaded CCLeaner for my phone. I am guessing it removed an apk file??
My wifes Note 4 has no launchers on it. Stock ... and hers has it.
PS I factory reset due to the horrible instability when near wifi areas. My phone would freeze if it saw a wifi network ( even without password) and I ultimately would have to turn wifi off to get my phone to have signal. Any help on this second issue would be appreciated.
Best,
David
While on the screen showing the list of available Wifi, touch the three dots in the upper right corner. Select advanced. Uncheck "Network Notification" and "Always Allow Scanning."
Should help with battery life, too.

Thank you sir! Now on to find out what happened to my pull down menu... Found a pic.
Edit. Found solution. It is part of Clean master in settings. Thanks for the wifi trick!
Can you clarify the solution you found? I am having the same issue but cannot find Clean master in settings.
Edit: Never mind, I just realized what you said. You installed Clean Master. Sorry for the confusion.
Open the app, at the bottom it has "me"
Tap to "settings" and turn on "Notification Toggle" There you can add different ones and change the color, let me know if you need a screenshot.

Hey everyone; So I was just going through and updating all of contacts, customizing settings, etc in my T-Mobile TP2, and when I went back to the home screen my task manager icon (which usually appears at the top right of the screen) was gone! I did multiple soft resets, to no avail; When I open a program the "x" button shows up so i can close it, but if I just want to minimize to the homescreen and switch to a different program (or close other programs running in the background) I'm unable to!
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know the fix???? This is a pretty crucial feature, otherwise I can never multi-task!
Thanks in advance.
Two more things that might help? 1. I'm using the stock T-Mobile US ROM, and 2. Is there somewhere I can go in the registry to turn it back on?
Either that, or maybe a custom bar along the top that will re-enable that icon?
Thanks.......
I figured it out... Going back through the settings again, I found that in Settings > Task Manager > "Button" tab, I had unchecked "Enable Quick Menu on Today screen", thinking that it was only an option that applied to the Windows Today screen that was just taking up background resources (since Im using the TouchFlo 3D interface)...
Sorry! Hope this can be used as a reference to anyone else having this problem, though!
Hello, everyone;
I've got a TP2 on WinMo 6.5 Pro, and would like to modify it a wee bit to do the following.
First, the signal lost, call dropped window that pops up. I'm an over the road truck driver, and this happens alot in the mountains. Is there any way to disable this silly message?
Second, the backlight always comes on whenever it looses/regains a signal. This is an extreme annoyance, bordering on dangerous, situation when driving at night and I am constantly distracted by the sudden glow from the screen. Can this be disabled?
Finally, emails. Is there a setting that will force the entire email to download, doing away with the tap-here-to-download-entire-message thing?
Much appreciated, everyone, and best wishes for a great day!
Fred
Not sure on 1 or 2, sorry. For 3:
-Launch the inbox (Microsoft version, not Sense). Scroll to Email tab and tap Inbox
-Menu --> Tools --> Options
-Tap on the account
-Tap on "Download Size Settings"
-Message download limit dropdown --> Entire Message
-Download Attachments dropdown --> All attachments
Edit: Not really a solution for the second issue, but if you turn on the "Automatically adjust backlight" feature it won't be quite so bright when it does turn on. Start --> Settings --> System --> Power. Check "Automatically adjust backlight".
Perfect! Issue 3 solved. Thanks, bud.
Anyone for the other two?
entire message
From the inbox of an email account - tap the soft button to the right of the keyboard one (menu?). tap on tools then options - tap on the account you wish to modify. You should see an option for Download Size Settings - select "entire message from the bottom drop down menu then click done.
If you are going through an Exchange Server then run the Activesync app on the phone. Click menu then options. Hightlight "email" then tap on settings. Change the download size limit to "entire message" and ok your way out.
I can't help with the other issues as I am new to this phone too.
Ok. Someone beat me to it.
No worries, mate, thanks for chiming in. You did illuminate another method, and thankfully you two have solved one annoying issue. The others will require entering the registery, I'm sure.
Thanks!

On the Email Issue, go to the inbox, tap and hold to bring up the context menu, select Tools / Options, and you can modify the download settings.
settings\sounds and notifications\ notifications tab... in there you can change what different 'events' do.
If there is a setting in your phone for what you want it will be in there.. if not It's likely a registry change you need to do. That I cant help you with as I wouldn't know what you need to change specifically.
Just wanting to see if anyone is experiencing...
1. If you go to the dialer (from the home screen) - my previously called contacts do not populate. Meaning when I go to use the "smart dial" (# pad to find contacts) nothing comes up. This is how I usually call people.. so its quite annoying.
Side note - I can get them to show up, if I tap a single number then hit the back button (not the back capacitive touch button) - the one thats in the dialer.
2.When using the power bar widget (the one that comes with it) every time I click to turn on the GPS I am prompted with a message telling me:
"Be selecting Standalone GPS services, you are enabling access.."
I was certainly not prompted every time with my original incredible. Furthermore, this prompt seems to disrupt the power widget causing the bar underneath to not light up (signifying its on), even though it is.
I have since switched to Power control Plus which fixed the bar not lighting up issue - but am still prompted every-time.
Are you using LauncherPro? I was experiencing the same issue when using the LauncherPro default Phone dock shortcut with the previous call history not showing. I just "re-routed" the phone shortcut to the phone app and all is well.
Hope that helps.

Any fix for this? Is it present in custom ROMs?
I posted in another thread about a problem with ICS concerning "Touch Key Light Duration", but feel it needs it's own thread.
My problem is "Touch Key Light Duration". Seems to be a problem with the little bit I googled. I can set it the duration to "Always On, but it has a mind of it's own. Somethings will turn off the light; I have to go back into the settings to reset the light.
I've played with all of the power setting, power saving, display settings I can find, but cannot find a way to keep the lights on the way I want. I've done Factory Reset, I've changed the duration, changed power settings,etc to no avail.
Anybody else having this problem?
Anybody have a solution, or an app to fix this?
Same problem here.....I had to choose 6 seconds option in order to get it to work.
I have exact same thing as droid_ra.
I hope somebody will come up with a fix, it's really annoying.
Are you guys running Stock? If so ICS or GB?

Didn't have the problem with GB.
Now I'm running stock ICS. I even tried to do a wipe and reinstall with no success. May try it again.
Haven't tried rooting yet, although I've read in another thread that it may fix it.
I'm running stock ICS rooted, but the problem started right after I upgraded from GB to ICS.
So this problem is not ROOT dependent, but rather ICS's fault.
Like a someone else said, if you adjust it to 6 seconds delay, it will work properly.
However, I like to keep it at "Always On".

I too have the same problem. I'm running stock ICS that has been rooted. I did not have the problem when I was running stock GB that was rooted. Hmmm....
I was looking for confirmation and a fix when I created this thread.
Looks like a bug and Samsung/T-Mobile needs to fix this one.
Perhaps a dev can look into this?
yeah this is quite annoying. "always on" just simply doesn't work. 6-seconds is what I use now but I really wish I could go back to "always on" and have it work. Again, all since ICS update. Overall pretty please with the update but this and the mobile-life sync thing are annoying...
Same problem here, not rooted but happened going from GB to ICS, will have an Siii this week so hoping it's not an issue there.
Work Around
Hey guys I found a work around.
I used tasker and screen filter together to make the backlights light up whenever I turn the screen on.
I made a new tasker profile with the event Display On then put one screen filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off and another screen filter task right after it at 100% and softkey lights on. It takes a split second after turning the display on but 90% of the time it works every time.

My apologies in advance for my ignorance, but how does one go about creating a "tasker profile?"

You go into your tasker app then hit new. Then after you name it, it will pop up with "first context" and choose event--->display--->display on.
jgbenito7,
Thank you VERY much! I had no idea that there was such an app. It's been a while since I've used anything like tasker so I'm going to go slowly: read, read some more, then experiment. Thank you again,

No problem!
Did you get it to work? The only problem is that tasker is a paid app but its great for little workarounds like these.
I'm still reading how to use the tasker app. I think I understand the event section figured out but having some trouble figuring out the actions (e.g., "filter task set to 96% and softkey lights off....").
LifeHacker has two great articles: here http://lifehacker.com/5599116 and here http://lifehacker.com/5601133. I also downloaded the 14 day trial here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html . That way I can decide if I want to spend the money. Right now, it looks like I will.

I guess I could have been a little bit more specific...
There are two apps to download "Tasker" and "Screen Filter."
You open up Tasker then hit "new". After naming your profile hit okay then "First Context" window will appear. Hit "event". Then "Select Event Category" will appear. Hit "Display" then "Display On". The priority box will pop up but just hit "done". That is your event that triggers the actions. You should then be in "Task Edit". Click the "+" sign then "Plugin" then "Screen Filter". You should see "edit" across from "configuration". Click on edit then adjust the brightness to 96.1% (not 100% on the first one because it wont work right) then uncheck the "enable soft-key backlight" box. Hit save. Now add the second action by hitting the "+" sign again and do the same steps except this time have the brightness at 100% and the box checked for "enable soft-key backlight". The second action toggles the backlight therefore enabling it and also gets rid of the notification in the status bar. After you are finished hit "done" and then make sure to hit "apply". Test it out!
Got it! Thanks again. I was missing the "Screen Filter" app. I have the Task (event and action) up and running. It didn't work first try because the "Settings / Display / Touch key light duration" was set at "6 seconds." When I changed it to "always on" it started working. I'm looking forward to really getting into "Tasker!"
Had the same problem on every single rom!!
Posted in general, q&a and the rom threads abt this
A clean stock gb/ics doesnt have the problem i tested it for days
Seems like no dev cares abt the problem so i got used to the 6seconds option, i suggest that u do the same

Same problem here with rogers Official ICS on the Skyrocket, tried Google & saw lots of posts about the problem, but no real solutions. I don't think that it's carrier related... It's either Samsung or Google's problem. It's a pita!

Is there a permanent fix to kill the ongoing wifi notification that shows up from time to time?
Go to settings, tap WiFi, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner, select "advanced," and uncheck "notify me."
that doesnt do it. I've got it unchecked but that notification is still there. unchecking it does, however, stop apps from telling you there's wifi around
That's what I figured they were talking about. If you don't want any wifi notifications at all then you will have to flash custom roms that have it disabled, if you are unlocked.
No permanent fix yet, but long press the notification, then select app info, then force close will prevent it until the next reboot. Works well enough for me.

Thank y'all for your response.
@Thefireballkid: That's what I have been doing. Since One is still being played around, its rebooted (at least once a day) and that wifi-notification pop-up is very annoying. Anyway, thanks for confirming.
P.S. am on bonestock ROM, so I guess I should request @andybones to take care of this Verizon's bug/feature However, being a new member, am not allowed to post/request in the VHO Android Development thread.
