This is a very simple issue that I'm having that I can't seem to find a solution for (i.e. can't find an option in any menu anywhere) Hoping someone can help.
I have CM7 installed on my Captivate, and I'm not sure if this is a CM7 feature or Gingerbread, but Id like my phone to wake up (I don't care if it stays locked) when I receive a text message (I think there may have been other instances when the screen didn't come on when I expected it to, but SMS is the big one). It currently does whatever I have it set to do in terms of vibrating/ringing but I'd like it to bring the screen on as well.
Anybody know how/if I can enable this?

I use this Phone.apk because i like the layout. I prefer it so much over the standard one, which is included in cm5.0.8 final (and 6 now). It was included once in 5.0.8test3 as far as i remember but was changed finally. Why?
So, anyone knows what version this is and where i maybe get a more recent version of it (doesn't work in cm6 for me)?
Thanks!
idk how it is in the g1 cm6 but in the cdma hero cm6 its included.
Ah - so it's a hero phone apk!?
Thanks for your hint - will have a look for it!
It's the full eclair dialer and it was removed because the G1 does not have a proximity sensor, so too many people complained about their faces hitting the hold button at the top. For a while in CM5, you could select either, but that seems gone as well.
It's still in CM5 and CM6.
Settings > Call Settings > Force Touch Keyboard.
Mine's grayed out with it checked for some reason but it works.

i have it running fine on my dream with Cy6
Well, i knew this option, but never tried it..
At least i don't have to push this apk everytime from now on. Unfortunately CM6 doesn't run stable enough for me on my MyTouch...
Thanks!

This is the phone app in 508. Go to Settings\Call Settings\ click the check box "In-call touch UI". You can even reverse which side the keyboard button is by checking the "Left-hand mode"
Anyone know what happened to the ability to slide to answer? The phone.apk had two slide bars (like the lock screen) to answer, and mute a call. However this feature was removed. Anyone know why/how to use it again?
Does anyone know if this has been backported to donut anywhere? And if so, can you point me in the right direction?

Still works for me on 5.0.8
Hey folks,
I just flashed over the latest phiremod and I'm having a couple of small issues. 1: Whenever I go into settings > about phone and hit "status," it force closes on me before I can even see any info (like batt. status, level etc). Anyone experience anything similar and if so, found any workaround?
2: I downloaded and installed the newest version of Google Voice from the market but can't set it up. During set up, after I provide the number associated with it the next step attempts to set up voicemail (and obviously can't) so I just press the option to "skip" it, but whenever I do so the set up screen and the buttons go grey and just stay that way. Anyone know of any workarounds?
Thanks for any help!
Hope it's alright to bump this. Again, if anyone has any idea on a fix, I'd really appreciate it. (Of course, if I missed a thread or two about these same issues, feel free to throw in a link.)
Thanks!
I apologize if this has been discussed/answered elsewhere. A search didn't bring up anything. If it has, please link me to the appropriate thread. Thanks!
I'm currently using Simply Stunning 5.4, which is Android 2.3.4 and based on CM7. For some reason, the custom phone settings menu has removed the option to adjust the DTMF tone length between Normal and Long. CM (and possibly Gingerbread in general--not sure) defaults to short tone length, which my Verizon voicemail inbox refuses to recognize for my password. It acts as though I haven't pushed any buttons, even though I can hear the quick tones. When I back up and flash a stock 2.2.2 ROM, which has the option in there, and I change it to Long tones, I can access my voicemail no problem. But that's a hassle just to check voicemail. I love Simply Stunning and Gingerbread! There HAS to be another way to access this setting...right?
It seems like it should be as simple as a line of code somewhere with =1, 2 or 3, and if I could just change that number to 3 for Long or whatever, things would be great.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
After a bit of research it looks like a little over a month ago, in CM nightly 15, an edit was made to android_frameworks_base to force phones to always use short DTMF tones. My question is, is there a way I can edit android_frameworks_base (if that's even a file somewhere or section in a file) to undo this and use long tones? Or, can I install a different version of android_frameworks_base and keep the rest of the ROM? That seems like a big ol' conflict that wouldn't work, but what do I know?
The workaround I'm using now is nandroid backup, load a stock FRG83G ROM, change the tones to long, check my messages, reboot into recovery, restore the nandroid backup. What a hassle to do this every day though! There HAS to be an easier way, aside from the obvious "Find a ROM that's not built on CM." I'm definitely getting closer to doing that, but it's also fun to solve things like this. Anyone?

Yes you will lose root if you take the OTA. The biggest change that was made between 2.12.405.7 and 2.30.405.1 is that they have fixed all of the temp root exploits. So not only will you lose root, but you will not be able to re-root until a new root exploit is found.
Thank you for quick response.
OMG! It is good I haven't updated!
Looks good to me. Picasa albums add in working. Screen text a better size. Don't know what full list of changes is?

It's already been done. If you're looking for a ROM in future, the Android Development section of the forum is your friend.

Scrub that, Picasa add in stops working. As useless as it ever was.
Pretty fed up with HTC, they are nowhere near the Company they used to be. Flaky software, useless support, the farce of HTCSENSE.
Horrible.
After reading a few threads about this update, all I ever see is people querying and *****ing about losing their S-OFF. Is there an actual change list available so I see what exactly has been done?

I haven't seen anything. Have you checked the HTC Support site? That is where such information would originate from if it is available.
Surely you cant update if your S-OFF anyway...atleast I cant!
text prediction(suggestion) in portrait mode not working
Hi guys, I have successfully updated to this version.
However the most frustrated thing is when I am typing text in portrait mode, no matter what app (web browser, calendar, message, map, or 3rd party app, etc) I am typing in, the word prediction (suggestion) does not work anymore (or it does, but I could not see all the possible suggestions as I used to if I misspell something, then it just automatically picked one suggestion to replace my word)!! Only when I change to landscape mode they start to appear.
This never happened before this update, and also, before, when I typed on the text box, the keyboard would appear as well as the cursor positioning where my text will display. So I could still see part of the original screen of the app. But now, the text box basically expands a lot so I could not see anything else on my screen apart from the white, ugly, big text box which takes more than half of my screen and the keyboard, nothing else!!
I am wondering if anyone else who updated to this version has the same issue. This is bad, bad, and bad!!
Cheers!!

Ok, I just rebooted the phone twice and everything goes back to normal. I am sure I had rebooted the phone more than once before, but they did not work until just 5 mins ago...
Pls ignore my previous post then.

Hi,
So I'm having a lot of trouble trying to configure a solution to this problem! When I text my girlfriend who is French, her iPhone can't receive accented characters, it instead replaces them with other characters. I presume this is a problem with the Unicode settings on my phone but can't find much information on this topic anywhere! I have a Samsung galaxy s i9000 international triband, baseband I900XXJVT running cm10.1.3 (android 4.2.2). I live in.new Zealand and I'm with 2degrees as my provider, have recently switched from skinny due to band issues. Any help would be much apprecjated ! Thanks!!
Hi There,
dont know if i can really help.
i'm also on 2degrees, were the messages working correctly on skinny?
have you tried texting the same message to another Iphone? or another phone?
and/or texed from another phone to her Iphone?

Yes, I have tried many different phones. I'm sure its not the network now, so more looking at trying to see how i can change the settings on my phone, but there seems to be nothing? Can it be that the version of ROM i'm running is the problem and I need to change ROM's?

If you have tried different phones i'd say the likelihood of it being a ROM issue drops through the floor.
Unless by complete coincidence all the other phones you used were running the same ROM (or had the exactly the same settings).
Also if everything worked on skinny that would make me lean toward it being a carrier issue.
I did a quick Google and came up with this article from Apple, sounds very similar to what you have.
*** I cant post a link yet
uummm ... go to apple, then support that search "SMS messages may display incorrectly on other devices"
the article should come up at the top of the list.
hope that helps.

Thanks for your help on this! I think you may be correct with the ROM theory, I will just have to change my rom and find out!

no problem,
its the small things that are the biggest the bum.
*oh (light bulb moment) have you tried sending a MMS instead of a text? or using whatsapp or similar?
could be a short term work around.
best of luck.
@nippynz it will work with Hangouts or Gmail, Yahoo etc.
It is BTW Apple's speciality to break purposely the compatibility between their products and Android or PC. Not even JPEG or MP3 file data transfer with Bluetooth will work between Android and iPhone. Apple sucks!
