I've been running Cognition 3.04 for a couple of weeks (it's my first ROM), and I'm loving it. I've run across two minor issues that I haven't been able to solve just by messing with settings myself or searching the forums:
1. Over the past couple of days, I will periodically find that my app drawer is completely empty. Anything I update from that point onward shows up in the drawer, but nothing else will until I reboot the phone.
2. I can't seem to change my SMS notification tone. I use Handcent, and despite changing the ringtone within Handcent, the stock messaging app ringtone, and the default notification ringtone under Settings->Sound->Notification ringtone, nothing seems to change what I hear when a new message arrives. The sound that plays is 'Postbox', which I don't have set as a sound anywhere that I can find.
I've tried to search for others with similar issues & couldn't find anything that helped, so hopefully I'm not repeating common questions.
Thanks for any help!
Sounds like a bad flash. Try reflashinv.

Had that happen before. re flash. I was restoring apps and system data among other things wrong. It's a process and don't worry the answers are in the forums

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Will give reflashing a shot

Besides it's a captivate. Best thing since sliced bread. Spread a little cognition on it. Sprinkle some firebird and top it with voodoo and voila!

for the SMS sound try changing the notification sound from the sms settings.
go into your text msg box then goto press the settings button then goto those settings from there at the bottom you'll see notifications.
The notifications in the actual sound settings from the drawer are for emails and such. Texts have their own "notifications" setting.

Good grief I'm an idiot. I've been changing the sent Notification sound this whole time in Handcent. My eyes just slid right to 'Notification sound' & didn't notice this was in the 'Sent message . . .' section. Well, it's just down to the app drawer now. Backing up with TiBu & charging up the battery to prepare for the reflash in a little while.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

Hi,
I am trying to change my sms tone .... and everywhere is saying i do this via notification tone under settings and even apps such as ringdroid change the notification tone... but for some reason this does not change my SMS tone ... I remember I did change it once to bubbles because I was sick of my sms and battery full being the same and now I can't remeber how I did it
I am not usind a custom rom, just the stocky 2.2
anyone know how I did it
Thanks,
Xalies
Go to messaging app then go to settings, scroll down to the bottom, there you will see select ringtone.

thanks... I feel my noob showing now
I feel like an idiot...I've been trying everything since I installed Zedge to get the damn default tone to change to silent...could not understand why changing it in settings wouldn't work. TYVM!!
Every time i get a txt, Handcent pops up and I get the same text like 5-6 times.. sometimes more.. my friend sent me a "ok" text yesterday and I got it 10 times within 20 mins.
does ANYONE know how to stop this?

hey there!
Normally I always come to a solution, but this one is hard... while it seems easy.
Been searching the web for a while now, but no one seems to have this exact problem.
Problem:
Everytime I receive a Text/SMS message, i get notified by a white envelope in the notification bar. it says: 'New Message(s)' with beneath it 'You have an unread message'. So then I click on the icon/text and my message app (handscent SMS) launches. I can reply etc. but when i return to my home screen (doesn't matter if i tick the 'back' button of the 'home' button) the white envelope is still there. So i have to open the notification bar and press 'clear'. ****@NOY!NG!!
Thing is that I don't know which app notifies me, so i can't turn it off! I already ticked-off all the notification boxes (and sounds) is the system message app as well as in handscent sms. But that damn white envelope is still there (with notification sound)!
I figured out one thing; I can change the notification sound of the d*mn white envelope just bij changing the 'General' notification sounds at the settings menu.
So then I thought maybe is the notification from android itself. Does anyone ever had the same problem? suggestions to fix it? thanks
you would drive me crazy!
peace

I don't use GO sms, I use Handcent SMS.
I just get 4-6 txts in less than a minute. It's so annoying. I wish i could stop it.
Ok, the reason i ask is i get the same thing i get about 5 or 8 texts always the same text i think it's something two do with the default sms program conflicting with third party app

Hey I just installed di11i's 5.6, awesome rom, first one I've flashed. I can't seem to find the option to vibrate on text recieve, its not in the general settings pages or in the messaging app settings page. Any app I can use or osmething to enable this?
text message question
The easiest way is to go to Settings > Sound > Vibrate always
or download a sms program like Handcent or chompSMS
hmmm vibrate always still doesn't make it vibrate when receiving a message.
But Handcent looks like a really great alternative! Thanks
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, i know double posts are silly and a waste of time, but the search function isn't working right now and my phone is driving me nuts haha
okay, i just got this captivate, i came from an HTC Desire to this phone, and when i got a message on my desire, it just made the sound and the indicator light came on. now i know the captivate doesn't have an indicator LED, but is there a way to stop this screen from turning on everytime. i use the no lock app and when it turns on in my pocket i start swyping.. hahah
oh, and this battery notifcation thing where it plays my notification sound super loud at 3 in the morning beside my head while i sleep.. can i turn that stupid option off too??
thanks in advance!
For the SMS notifications, I would try installing the app called ""SMS Pop Up".
You can control much more options for SMS notifications that way. But after you download it, make sure you disable the normal SMS notifications under:
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
This is so the phone won't send you two notifications on two different apps. (The SMS Pop Up app isn't really an SMS app itself, but you get what I mean).
As for the battery notification, I would have no idea... Most of the custom roms I've tried have battery full notifications turned off as a default (cos it's pointless and stupid).
Yeah i noticed a lot of roms have it disabled, if your just rooted and dont' do roms does any one know what you do to disable it?
Is it editing a database or something?
For the battery notification, you can put your phone on silent out just turn notification volume all the way down otherwise I don't know, it isn't present in the froyo update
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time
For SMS notifications I would use NoLED, not sms pop up. For not hearing the full battery notification I would use sound manager to turn off notification sound at the time you desire
Thanks peeps
