ok im using the cyanogen 4.2.3.1 and i want to do something very simple, something that i think should be built into the phone.
When someone sends a text, i just want the screen to wake, i dont want chompsms or handcent, theirs have a pop up that is nerve wrecking, i just want the screen to wake, is this possible ?
I'm not sure if there's a messaging app that does that. I know you said you don't want it, but it's possible to do this in chomp.
In settings, check notifications, and check screen comes on. Then in quick reply popup, select never. This will allow you to have the screen wake, but not have an annoying popup.
Isn't Chomp free? Just ask the dev how he did it, and if you can sample his code to make the default app do this.
Personally, I think it's just fine the way it is -- If I were to get a text while my phone was in my pocket, and say a penny in there hit the menu button while the screen wakes, then I'd have an issue. Plus, the screen staying asleep saves battery life for those of us that have a texting addiction, lol.
How do you know when an app is completely closed since there's no task manager. Cause I've noticed that even if you hit the home key if you hit the back key afterwards it will still go to your open apps. Is there a key you can hold that will close down all applications.
WP7 doesn't multitask, so you will only have one app running at a time -- except, perhaps, if you're playing music via Zune.
When you hit back, what you're seeing is a recovery from something MS call 'tombstoning', which is saving the state of an app before shutting it down, and restoring the app back to where it was once you restart it.
If you run a game, you'll probably notice a delay after you hit 'back', while it reloads.
thanks for the info. I see what you mean.
How are you multitaskign Zune? If I leave zune in any way whetehr back, home or clickign on a text it shuts it down
Well atleast we don't have to worry about apps draining battery in the back ground.... Just trying to look at the bright side
So far the only things I'm disappointed is by the bad quality videos on YouTube, no multitask, and I can't use a regular mp3 song as a ringtone

If you also wanted to clear the tombstoning info, just press back until the app goes away.

Music should continue to play no matter how you quit Zune, even if you put the phone in standby. Then you can access the music via the toast window that appears when you hit vol-up/vol-down.

only if its an app that you've told it can run under the lockscreen, if it will impact the battery much it's supposed to ask, or be unable to run under the lockscreen
do you know if you can use an mp3 as a ringtone?

You can't, no. There was talk about being able to buy ringtones from the marketplace, but I don't think the users would accept that. I'd probably expect it to come with the update in January.
hopefully in january we will get most of the missing features we want

NOt sure that this will come in Jan. I think it's a legal thing to do with the way Zune Pass is licensed (which is only to play music - not use it as a ringtone)...
this is just from word of mouth - but seems to make sense....
I don't mind if it won't let me use Pass music as a ringtone, I'd like to put my own custom sound in there, so WP7 doesn't end up like iPhone where almost everyone has the same ringer, and when a phone goes off everyone reaches for their phone.
Even the iPhone allows for custom ringtones, you just have to load them through iTunes. I really hope Microsoft implements custom ringtones soon. I also hope that they, unlike the iPhone, allow for custom notification tones as well. On the iPhone you have to SSH in and replace the files manually.
Hi all.
I just lost my iPhone 4S (bummer). and I need to replace it with something. I am considering the Note but had a question...
The speach to text feature was my favorite on my iPhone, I would do MMS, email or any other typing by simply speaking into the microphone. The phone would turn my voice into text and I could send it on it's way.
Does the Note have a good Speach to Text feature?
Try vlingo

I don't actually have the device yet, but I will keep that in mind when/if I do. Does that app compare to Siri favorably? Do you use it and do you like it? I just want to be able to create texts and email from voice. Not the commands but rather the actual text.
I am using TouchPal keyboard on my note I have found that it's got better voice recognition than Google itself
I have posted this using the voice recognition ...
........
but if you are looking for an app like Siri. ... I don't think you will find any. .....well there is iris but it's not good for sending sms or messages ...its just a chat bot.....
you can try vlingo like ketan said but Siri is way better and you will be disappointed
Thanks both of you.
I am not nuts over Siri.. most of it is fairly useless and stupid.. I just want to be able to dictate text into an mms or email, and it sounds like either of these two apps do it fine.
Though it was funny telling Siri to "Remind me to kill myself tomorrow at 9am"...
the following day I got an alert saying "Kill yourself in 15 minutes"... we laughed a bit at that... not really useful but kinda fun.
oh yeah...forgot to ask.
Does the note connect to the newer samsung smart TVs the way the tab 10 and 7 do?

Even samsung recommend it, just look to voice setting, you will find two option for voice recognisation google or samsung powered by vlingo.

Sorry if it's the wrong forum, pretty hard to navigate on Android. Can anyone make a module that moves Facebook chat heads yo the bottom of the screen when the conversation is opened instead of the top? I have a 5.5 inches screen so it's a pain to move my hand every time I want to come back to chatting, or close a chat head.

Wrong section, disable chat heads or email Facebook. Problem solved.

Hi, I'm running stock Android 10 on my Note 9. One of the most annoying "features" is that incoming calls take up the whole screen with no possible means of dismissing, or switching to another app while its ringing. Often I don't want to send it to VM so I don't want to reject nor answer the call. I silence the ringer, I want to let it ring but I don't want to stare at the screen for the entire time its ringing. I have the show in pop up window enabled, but that only works if I have another app open. If a call just comes in when I don't have another app open, it obnoxiously takes over the phone with no options to do anything other than pressing either the red or green call buttons. Is there a way to change this behavior or can I install another dialer app and make it my default? I'm seriously amazed this is how it was designed to work!
If you're not in another app, why does it bother you?
If you mean when the phone is idle with screen off and a call comes in then I don't see a point in not being fullscreen.
When it is updated to ui 2.1 there might be a setting to change call display while using other apps/mini popup

Whether you see the point or not doesn't really matter, if I'm asking, what I'd like to know is can it be done or not? I don't understand these non informative responses. Why do you bother taking the time to respond only to say you don't see the point why I'm asking?
However, if you must fully understand before giving a more useful answer, I use Google voice and I need to see which calls come from Google voice as a forward versus direct calls to my cell phone number. The only way to differentiate is seeing if hangout is also ringing or not. Occasionally hang out starts up first in which case it works like a charm. But every time the phone app rings first, it locks the screen and I cannot navigate to the Hangouts app or even pull down the notification to see if Hangouts is even ringing.
That's only one reason. The other is if I don't want to send the call to voicemail, and I want to let it ring, I don't necessarily feel like staring at my phone for 30 seconds if I want to do something else on it. I've had many phones and this is the only one that is acting this way. It's dumb.

as I have already stated, I already have that option checked off but it only works as you said while in other apps. I question specifically was for times when I am not in other apps.

Thank you, that was much more helpful! I'm not sure if it's due to the difference of S10 vs Note 9, but the swiping down diagonally from your left to lower right doesn't do anything for me. Anyways, I guess we have exhausted all options and using the edge is probably the best one for me. Thanks again!

Glad it works. If you'd like to try the swipe from corner to make the window small but you can't right now try to install Good Lock and use the module MultiStar. Inside this module there's an option called "Pop-up view action" which enables (or forces or re-enables xd) the functionality to swipe from the top corner diagonally in order to make the currently open app's window smaller.
If Good Lock does not work where you live then use either FineLock or NiceLock from the play store and install the module from here manually: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-multistar-3-2-28-android-apk-download/
