I have a serious problem with my new diamond....
When I get an incoming call, I often miss the call because the phone is really slow to ring/vibrate...
I can see that at least for two of callers rings before it rings/vibrates on my end, the touch pad lights up/flashes. But unless you are physically watching your phone all the time, you have no chance to react in time..
Especially becase the lag-of-death os (wm6) takes eternity to figure out that Im actually frantically pressing 'answer call'
Is there some sort of registry hack for this?
Disabling the phone skin helps (download Schap's Advanced Config) and gives you back about 10Mb of memory. Also, some people say that moving from a .wav ringtone to an mp3 helps. I've not tried the latter but it certainly helped on previous PPCs.
Don't have any suggestions for your problem, but I do have a question of my own:
Who hangs up after 2 rings!?!
Who designs a phone that doesn't ring the first three times and then starts ringing? What's the point?

And the answer to that would be - HTC
BTW just a suggestion, if it might help ...
You can set alerts for missed calls - Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications.
So.. in case someone does give you a missed call (one or two rings and then disconnects) - you will be notified with a sound. As opposed to pulling the phone out of your pocket - after 30 minutes and then noticing that you have a few missed calls from people who disconnected after 2 rings
Hope this helps.
the thing is that when the phone starts ringing, I need to react... it does actually happen that it is not in my hand, but on the table somewhere etc..
then by the time it rings the second time I get to it, and press answer.. wm6 then takes 2 years to figure out that the moron holding the phone has actually pressed te button..
by then its up to at least 5 rings on the other end... then a lot of people hang up...
what I would like was to tweak the phone to ring immedeately instead of the initial blinking for two rings...
yea someone do help out in this aspect please...
i for one have free incoming call.. so its pretty wasteful to call back a missed call when actually i could have answered it fast enough..
and im using a mp3 ringtone.. din see much improvement..
As told before: seems the diamond dialer interface is causing most of the pain. disabling it makes it respond faster.
but maybe...
someone made a custom VGA version of our Diamond dialer skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2365614&postcount=16
perhaps if we install this we get our Diamond skin back but without delay (???). it's worth a try, I will try it later.
disadvantage: 5 Mb extra storage space consumed.
I just did some testing on my Diamond.
I have a .wav as ringtone, am using the new dailer interface and am not using TF3D.
The phone starts ringing after the caller hears the second ring on his end, not too bad is it?
Also, I noticed disabling the new dailer interface also disables the "flip the phone to mute" option?
yes its bad.. or not good enough...
did you notice that the ring on your diamond is in fact blinking for those two first rings?
So the phone knows someone is calling you, but delays the ringing?
It's really not that big a deal..
I mean.. so it rings a few seconds later... I mean.. err.. compare that to.. NOT BEEPING AT ALL when you receive an SMS (thanks for the tweak) or an EMAIL (hoping to find a tweak)..
Yeah, it's a problem.. just not that big a problem.
you can setup notifications in the advanced section of the sounds menu.
and even if you couldnt I dont see how one flaw should excuse another?!

Mate, you SERIOUSLY think that there were tonns of people who DIDN'T think of setting up the Sounds and Notifications Menu!!
Needed a registry tweak (for the SMS) and as far as I know, some are still having a problem with the Email (auto retrieval) - notification.
More importantly, nobody is saying that the delayed ring IS NOT A FLAW..
I just said.. a few seconds delay is not THAT big a deal. It's not a matter of EXCUSE one FLAW by looking at the other. Definitely not. A problem is a problem. I was just highlighting that a few seconds delay in notification is not THAT BAD as opposed to not being notified (by a sound) AT ALL

well for me its bad, and theres plenty of other people that feel likewise..
I agree it is bad and would also like a solution.
Most people who ring me get two rings before my phone even plays the MP3 and 2 rings later the answer phone kicks in.
It would be nice if the MP3 played as soon as the LED flashed like it should..

what do you mean with " new dialer interface", the white Diamond interface that comes with the diamond ROMs or the cab file I referred to?

I mean the default dailer interface m8. I'm calling it the 'new dailer' because the tweak set you back to the old one (default WM6.1).
Sorry for confusion
Ok you guys and dolls with the slow response: what ROM are you using?
I use the 1.93 (from Walshieau) en did the test many times today with the diamond dialer active. Result: the moment the phone goes over my Diamond responds. Exactly at the same time!
I did it with the device on, device off, waited 10 minutes, all the same result: immediate answer.
Are there any guys who use 1.93 and experience the delay or am I the only lucky bastard?
BTW: I use radio 1.00.25.05
(Having your phone in vibration mode) Have you guys ever experienced the 5 sec mail notification vibrating in the middle of calls annoying both you and the caller??
The Japanese phones over here usually disable vibration notifications during phone conversations by default...I'm confused as to why the Diamond does not act the same way...
Has anyone else experienced the same? If so, is there a solution to this problem?
Was anyone able to figure this out? or I am the only have this issue

Nah.. i have this problem as well.. it gets pretty annoying when there's a constant buzzing while I'm trying to talk... lol...
A similar thing happens when an SMS is received while i'm on a call..
Unlike the other non-windows phones i've had where it might simply make a beep, my diamond actually plays the entire SMS ringtone from the speaker over the voice of the person who i'm talking to.... (I dont know if the other person actually hears it...)
hopefully someone has a solution to either of these problems....
Hi all, I have just got my Galaxy Note from South East Asia. I just want to check whether this is a bug or everyone else's gnote is doing the same thing.
Like the title says, When I received a text message, gtalk notifications, whatsapp notifications, gmail notifications or any other notifications, the vibrations that is coming from the phone is the 'Incoming Call' Vibration instead of 'Notification' Vibration. The 'Incoming Call' Vibration is the long buzz and the 'Notification' Vibration is the 2x short buzz. So when I am chatting with multiple people, I get multiple long buzzes, this is driving me crazy, not just that, this is draining my battery as well..
I hope someone can help me, I want and need the vibration, but I just want the 2x short buzz..
p.s. I have played around with the settings with every single apps and the phone settings, but nothing seems to fix it. I have also done a hard reset, problem still there.
Is anyone else having this problem? If this is normal, then is there any apps or anything that can change this? Thank you in advance for any input..
Can anyone just let me know what are their notifications vibrate and the incoming call vibrate? I just want to know whether mine is acting normal or not? could some help me in replying please?
this is common even my phone vibrates long.. try keeping a short tone like single beep or something. This may reduce the duration.
U can actually set different vibration intensities for incoming calls, notification and haptic feedback ...what i did was to reduce notification and haptic feedback to zero so that my phone only vibrates for incoming calls. go to settings/sound/vibration intensity.

the problem here is that the vibrate that I receive for incoming calls & notifications (sms, email, etc) are the same. when setting my phone on vibrate and when I have it on silent, I cant tell the difference whether it is incoming calls or just a sms text when I have the phone in my pocket. this makes me to respond quickly to my phone whenever it vibrates, because i use my phone as business use, since I thought those vibrates are incoming calls.
thanks to you both for the reply.
I'm talking about the annoying double beep (almost like call waiting) the phone makes when i receive a text while im talking to someone. I still want notification sounds when im not on a call so I dont want to silence them enitrely. I dont remember this happening on my One X, is this a new thing?
Wait, your phone had sound when you received a message during a call?
I never had this "issue"

Yep, I get a short double tone (like call wating but shorter and two of them) every time I get a text and Im on a call. Heard in the earpiece or over bluetooth, not from the phones speaker. Never had this before I upgraded to the One from the One X. Cant figure it out without turning off all notifications.
I just got my nexus 6 att phone today. While I was on a call I was getting text messages and received no sound notification while I was on it. I have tried a lot of different ways to try to get sound back while on call but no luck. I haven't seen anyone else post about this issue. Am I the only one hay talks on a cellphone these days lol. Please help !
Settings, sounds & notifications, interruptions. You can customize if you wish.

I think he's asking for a setting that will make his ear drum explode on notifications if he is actually ON a call with the phone up to his head.
The answer is NO, this cannot be done, since the assumption is that if you are on a call, you want to actually conduct the phone call and not screw around with irrelevancies.
I'm a HER, lol. And I need to be able to get my notification sound while I'm on a call. It has to be a bug. I have never heard of not getting a notification while on a call unless it's a bug.

I don't think that's a bug, that's a missing feature all I can say. Like there is no proper Silent Mode on Lollipop
I fixed the issue...... I returned the nexus 6 today for the note 4. Kinda sad but I can't live without notifications. My teenage daughters don't like calling so have to be able to get thier messages while on calls.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
Anybody found a app or anything that makes in call notifications work yet?
You can use Chomp SMS there is an option there to get a sound notification if you get a message while on call
