[Q] Noob Questions on alerts, sound in Note - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

1. Is there a way to assign a custom ringtone to all calendar events?
2. Is there a feature or setting somewhere for it to light up or flash a light if you have a missed call or message? I badly miss this option coming from Nokia fones. If I have a missed call or text, the only way I find is if unlock the phone screen.
Thanks for your help.

anyone?

Are you on the stock firmware?
As for notifications theres an app called noled in the play store, give it a try. You can set it up for any notification you want.

I use "NoLed" from Google Play store. It works very well. It can be set for times for it to turn on and off or you can put it on your homescreen and turn it on when you want it. I haven't noticed it affect battery life.

Battery full notification

Anyone know how to turn the battery full notification off or change the tone to something other than my default notification? This is getting really old now, maybe I missed something in my settings. I'm on 2.2 btw

would also love to know this.....got sick of getting woken up at night when battery was full. Ended up using tasker to silence it, but would be nice. I read somewhere the reason it happens is because in froyo they changed the tone from being a "system sound" to being a "notification sound"
Hopefully in the final build they will have an option to change it. I like knowing my battery is full, but not THAT much! Just seems weird...

Could you share your Tasker setup, please?

Go to system/media/audio/ui and remove or rename the TW_battery_caution.ogg file.

i've renamed the ogg file, but since i put my phone to vibrate only overnight, how can i make the vibrate notification stop when the battery is full. believe it or not, the vibration can wake me up overnight (i'm a light sleeper).
Hmm, I must be lucky with this "feature"(annoyance). I get the pop-up that the battery is full but I have yet to hear it make a sound. I have an app called SmartBar that lets me change my audio levels without going through the menus all the time, so maybe thats silencing the full charge notification.

[Q] Different sounds for different notifications?

I have had a few android devices and has long had a question thats been nagging at me. And that is; Is it just impossible to get to have different sounds for different notifications?.
Ie one sound for texts, another for MMS's and a third for email etc etc?. All the Android devices I have owned has only had one sound for notifications with no possible way to distingish between the differnt notifications and I find that is rather lacking.
So is it simply "not possible" or is it just a matter of having the proper app or?. I at least hope someone can shed some light over this cause I find it a bit annoying at any length...
Big issue for me too

In gmail for example u can set a different tone also possible in twitter (original) whatsapp etc.
Most apps have a option for it and that works fine for my android devices

LG Thrill Lockscreen

Anyone using the native lockscreen? I have a question.
I use chomp SMS as my messaging client and I get numerous message counts on the lockscreen from the native messaging app. Is there any way to shut off that notification? Or do I have to use a different lockscreen? I really don't wanna have to use a different lockscreen. I'm actually trying to leave it as stock as I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am like you for the moment I am liking the stock look and feel of this phone for now. I do really like GoSMS because of how customizable it is but also because when you are setting up it does a brief setting check to see how the stock messaging app. is set and then tells you what to turn off. It is a pretty slick low resource using messaging app. I dig it.
If you have never tried it you might want to give that app. a shot. IMO it is one of the better messaging apps. out there. Here is a link to it on the market.

I used GoSMS for awhile. I like it too but it still doesn't shut off the SMS count on the lockscreen.
Sent from my LG Thrill 3D using XDA Premium
Weird. I don't like the count on the screen either and there is a setting in both the stock and GoSMS settings that offers the option to disable the count for the lock screen. Maybe it is something specific with the Thrill. I don't know but now I am curious. I am going to look further into it. I check back and see if you found something before I do.
This has actually been mentioned in some review articles and as far as I know the reviewer was never able to actually get a fix for it other than to use the stock sms/mms. It is software related as far as they saw so the dev for chompSMS and what not will have to fix it.
Hey cool man thanks for the update. Because I had not found anything yet. LOL!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
There is no way to disable it though the stock apps or settings. i use hancent sms and it has an option to set it as the default app for sms, mms, or all. when you pick both, the stock messaging app is bypassed until the next boot up, but only displays the notification until you open either handcent or the stock app. i have noticed too, that if you want to set a custom ringtone through an alternate messaging app, the stock notification ringtone must be set to silent or be turned off completely to work right. this can always be different for other phones though.
If you are rooted (or willing to do so), you can install Titanium Backup, create a backup of the stock messaging app, then uninstall it that way. No unread message count anymore. You can always reinstall it if you wish to go back completely stock.

Question for those who own a galaxy mini with cm7

Would you mind telling me if your mini vibrate when you receive an sms?
Thank you
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
I own a Dart (T499) US version, but mine wasn't vibrating either even though I have it set too... the fix for me was to go under the settings for my sms program and tell it that I always want it to vib (mine was defaulted to never) see if that helps maybe.
Ty lord...i didnt even know that exist those settings
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
Tested.
Handy isn't vibrating even with vibrate always set on.
check both the "global setting for sound and notifications" and then also check the SMS settings, that's the only thing I can think of what it might be unless something is wrong with the handset?
it even depends on your messaging app
if you use a third party msging app, then you have its own settings
otherwise, your profile, if anyother application being used for profiles, global settings would do it
jus explore the device, you'll find it

[Q] Phone vibrates random

Hi guys,
I am having some problem.
Since a few weeks my phone vibrates random and I do not how to disable it. I turned vibration off in settings and in other apps. And the phone vibrates when I don't recieve any notifications. When I put it on the table for charging it stoppes after a while.
It is very annoying for me. If there is a method for completely stopping the vibration motor let me know.
Thanks.

Such vibration must cause an application. Remind yourself what you installed a few weeks ago.
Thanks. I tried to see some app settings and turned it off. The problem is that I don't see any notifications at all. I even installed the Xposed App, 'Less Frequent Notifier', but it doesn't work. And it is very hard to find the toxic app, because I have about 400~500 installed apps.
Is there some system log file where I can see which apps send the command to vibrate?

Install "Wakelock Detector" on your device. Once you sense a vibration, open the app and look for an app that uses the phone vibrator. You might want to try to get accurate information, as the app doesn't offer sorting based on time of trigger.
To get an accurate information, you can have the phone randomly vibrates for a day, and then open the WLD app and find the app responsible for vibrating.
An example is attached.
OR
You can use the App Ops. once you feel a vibration, quickly go to your App Ops, get to the "Device" tab (or section...) and choose the corresponding app that you suspect vibrating your phone. The apps listed there are sorted from recent permission trigger (or usage). So all you need to check is the top part of the list.
