[Q] Getting rid of proximity sensor VIBRATE - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hey there,
I got a milestone running the latest CM7, since around 2 versions ago (~2 weeks) the proximity sensor vibrate when turning the phone on/off during calls.
This is freaking horrible as i have black hair and the sensor is constantly on/off.
basically, i can't the phone as a phone :] before i start downgrading and searching which version is still ok,
anyone knows if this can be fixed via an option/script/etc ?
(i already saw that this is happening to more people, just didn't see a solution yet)
Thank you

There should an option to do it. Did you check the settings in phone?

of course i did
Even disabling all the haptic features didn't solve it.
Its something the latest builds inserted without an option (or at least i don't know where it is)
anyone else?

Solution found,
Delete the DIALER application from the PHONE GROUP in PROFILES.
weird bug.

The phone group doesent have a list of applications in it on my phone...
the profile has a "application group" section .. but that to doesnt have dialer...
if the users in this thread are still active .. can you given the detailed steps ? looks like i am searching at the wrong place

Hey,
This is a very very old thread and it happened on CM7, if your using the new CMs it looks different (and i'm not sure the problem still exist...).
In general (if I remember correctly) I just deleted all the stuff I had in the profiles until it worked (I did it for the phone profile, you can experiment).
If your using new CM, I suggest posting in the CM help thread for your device here on XDA

MIUI Rom and whatsapp contacts bug

Hello there
I've just installed miui rom and I really like it the only problem is
Whatsapp is unable to find any of my contacts don't know why !!
Although it appears just fine in other apps ..
I wish there is a fix for this thing cause really like miui look and u also can't live without whatsapp :"(

I would try fixing permissions from ROM manager.
Unfortunately that didn't help :"(
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Ok well in that case I would try wiping cache and data from whatsapp then if that doesn't work try uninstalling/reinstalling it.
Already done it .. no luck
Is it just me or every body have the same thing !
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Not everybody but yes it is a very common issue. Now sorry but I guess there is nothing to do unless you want to maybe try a clean install but I'm not even sure that is going to fix it.
i have the same problem with MIUI on Milestone. I found the only way to solve for my device is to add international code before normal phone numbers for the contacts. It sucks!!! Finally revert to stock rom!!
have the exact same problem . please someone comeup with fixing the bug. i want to use the miui rom and whatsapp.
I fixed it by tagging all the contacts to "my contacts " label .. and it worked
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
That actually did the trick. Thanx!
I had my contacts sorted in groups as well; deleting it all from the common my contacts-folder. A logical decision because this way there wouldn't be duplicates in my Gmail Contacts.
U know... I googled this but no solutions to be found. Of course I had to check with XDA first. Maybe Google should scan XDA a lot more often, 'cause solutions are always here

Ripper Rom Text Message Problem

Hi
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post but I flashed the Ripper Rom with Aroma options.
Since then I have a strange text message problem. Basically I can receive messages fine, but any message from anyone starts a new message chain. I'll be texting someone several times over the course of 30 minutes and every message I receive starts a new message thread/chain instead of putting it in an existing text message thread with my response.
I hope that makes sense.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be the issue?
Oh and this happens on the default message app and on messenger metro.
Thanks
I had that problem 2 a while a go. Dont remember wich rom and version though... U should ask in the RipperRom forum, they probably know how to fix it... Until then u can try selecting another sms app in aroma options (if there is one...) or download a sms app from market...

Do you know how you fixed your problem?
I tried posting there originally but I can't post in the development section until I have 10 posts and I don't want to spam a load of topics just to get access there, as I figured people really wouldn't appreciate that!
Actually i dont know what they did... Its probebly the sms app that needs 2 be fixed. Maybe u must wait 4 a new version or try some other roms. I use pandoriam and dont have that problem. U could try search the forum 4 a fixed sms app and flash it through cwm. Good luck

I've just tried GoSMS and it's working fine there, so I'm wondering if my favoured messaging app just needs a fresh install or if it's a problem that would require an update or a rom to finish.
I'm not a huge fan of GoSMS so I'm still hoping to be able to fix the issue but in the meantime until someone else pitches in or I figure it out it will do.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
I think you may be using the AOSP styled mms app. It seems to be a little buggy that mms and can cause that to happen, so I was thinking of removing it next update. It doesn't happen with the stock mms app but just the modded aosp styled
I don't know if it is the same but my gf had this problem on Slim JB on i9000 she fixed it by changing the time and date settings of all things!
I think she unchecked 'let network automatically select date and time' and set it manually.
Maybe try that and play around with date and time settings.
It sounds random but it might work

WhatsApp& Hangouts Notification problem...

Dear xda users,
I have quiet some time a problem getting notification message in whatsapp and hangouts (even in the previously version on Google talk).
When i clear all apps with Task Manager. Exit to home screen. meaning, Whatsapp is not running in the background, I get no pushed messages, no notifications. Nothing at all.
I then launch the app and get all my "missed" message ,then exit back to the home screen and now I see the messages and notifications.
The same thing happen when the screen is off,actually it seem it start there.
I have no limitation on the background apps,surf only with 3g and it is happen also with hangouts,it is started a few months back before google update her app,in the old Google talk also.
The most strange thing is when i launch a game,because it uses the internet when i exit from it and not clear my task manger it seems like whatsapp and hangout getting the message for day or two and there again nothing,maybe i imagine i really do not know
My phone model is i9305 with official Samsung Nordic Rom.
i used avast anti virus until couple days ago.
By the way whatsapp+ that i saw here recently could help me in any way?
I really appreciate your help. :good:
want to clear it one and for all to enjoy my phone.
Thanks in advance,
David
Hi David,
you kinda answered yourself, the problem is with the task manager. I suggest reading the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/127388/htg-explains-why-you-shouldnt-use-a-task-killer-on-android/
Chris Hoffman can explain better than me
BTW it's also says directly on whatsapp that it will not work well with task managers.
Cheers
Dear eytan123,
Thank you for your replay,I want to clarify myself and tell you that i do not use any external task manger,but only the built in one in jellybean.
In addition even when i do not "clear" my ram it still no working,i also compare it to others galaxy 3-i9300&i9305 that use and clear the ram with the built in task manager and still not suffer from this Phenomenon.
I guess Samsung keeps this app because it lets inexperienced users(unlike you and myself, or for that matter anyone in XDA ) the feeling that they can upgrade their performance...anyhow - It's strongly suggested that you don't activate\use ANY task killer.
Why not trying the suggested method for a couple of days? I'm sure your results will be much better
Thanks again for trying to help,but i already try this couple of times before open this thread.
Unfortunately not a single method that i tried was useful to me.
like to hear if you have another idea
upp
bumping a thread more than once every 24 hours is against the rules. don't post until you read them
Just noticed you asked about the whatsapp+ - it's not supposed to make things any better, only customizations. And you said the problem persists at the new hangouts.
If you're certain that your internet connection(cellular of course) is working good, before I suggest wiping and re-flashing or trying another rom I suggestthat you use the following app(it increases battery usage in a VERY MINOR way):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRxbGltYXgucHVzaGZpeGVyIl0.
Try clear data
Make sure sync is on

Hi,
Thanks eytan123 but this app that you gave me it is just for rooted phones,i do not want to root my phone in this moment,about the rom,it is the same problem that i experienced in my previous official rom.
Still glad to hear about this app for future notice
Thanks hello5629,if you mean to clear app data i already try this also
You wanna tell me that only my phone suffer this problem?
Just making sure - have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the apps ?
yep,several times..
Well I guess that leaves you with factory reset your phone.
But since your'e not rooted keep in mind you'll lose all your apps..
ya i know,i do not really want to do it,i think i will open a thread in general android forum,maybe there when it is not only i9305 community,maybe some will have the answer.
Thanks again for your effort

[Q] HTC One M7 is slower after the update to sense 6.0

Hey,
Today I updated my HTC One to sense 6.0. (Software number: 5.11.401.10).
I noticed that my phone would react a lot slower during certain actions. It feels like I have an one second delay, just like input lagg on a monitor.
I noticed this when dragging down the status bar and clicking on the settings. It takes about 1 second between the click and the actual action.
Third party apps don't seem to have any delay!
I've tried switching off all the animations. I'have also switched off power saver and I even tried to fix the problem by switching on High performance mode (a developer setting). This all didn't fix the problem, so I went back to the normal power saver mode.
In this youtube video, the owner doesn't seem to have the problem. You can see it at 5:19 when he clicks in the upper right corner he doesn't have any delay. youtube.com/watch?v=ZE08kJ42_Os
How to solve this problem?
I hope someone has a solution, because I find it really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Dark-shot.
*Sorry for my miserable English.*
Stop messing with the settings? Factory reset it and see if it works *before* restoring a backup of any settings.

I didn't really mess with the setting only animations and high performance mode, so I think it is really weird to have that lag because of that.
I'm going to factory reset it in the weekend. After testing when I switch to my back-up will everything be exactly the same? Hopefully without the lag.
this is not settings problem, my friend after update cant recive phone call, well send it to HTC or root and flash custom rom, Viper is amazing.

As a test case, if you browse a complex site using opera, then switch tasks to something else, does the problem get particularly bad? (If so, there's more I can tell you about this bug, but no solution.)

Thanks for your reply, I'm going to instal opera and test it. Do you know any complex site that has this specific problem?
Use a custom rom like arhd or Viper and install elemental x kernel. See if there's any difference. If no then there's something wrong with your phone, homie

The problem isn't particularly bad with opera, but the first two seconds after I switch task, my phone is a bit laggy overall (never had this before).
HTC One input lag, sense 6.0 fixed.
I fixed the input lag. When I updated to sense 6, the first settings which I enabled was magnification gestures. I disable the new magnification gestures setting and at this moment the response time is as good as it was with sense 5.5! Sorry for this stupid mistake!
I appreciated all of your replies!
thank you. this solved my problem
Thanks for posting your solution. Damn magnification. The minute I turned it off it fixed everything.

[Q] send button on text disabled after cm12 flash

I've already had this problem a few times while using CM11. I'd downloaded the recommended updates and my send button on the standard SMS app is grayed out. Now its happening again after flashing CM12 Nightly to my Sprint HTC One M8... the only solution I've had so far is using Google Hangouts as my texting app which I hate doing... Anyone having this problem and/or know the fix??? Thanks.

Having the same issue with LiquidSense for my HTC One M7. I know it's a different device but we're both running CM 12 and this seems to be a recurring problem..
Lucky to see this question was asked recently, I'd hate to bump a really old topic.
Thanks for the Hangouts tip. Will be my temporary solution until we figure something out, when I do I'll post!

Hi there, I'm using an LG G2 w/ CM12 nightly and i had this exact problem. For me the problem was that my sms app was not the "default sms/texting app" i changed this by opening my texting app and clicked the three dots (settings menu) and changed it to default sms/texting app. Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:
