[Q] Call Log Now Showing Calls+SMS Instead of Just Calls!

I installed OCLF and LauncherPro and now my Call Log in the dialer is showing SMS messages instead of just Calls. As I get a ton of text messages, my call log is getting really long and messy.
Anyone know how I can resolve this? I clicked on Settings while in Call Log but it won't allow me to restrict it to calls only. The only options offered is:
View by:
All logs
missed calls
dialled calls
received calls
sent messages
received messages

bump..
this is real annoying as the call log becomes super long.

bump..
would really love a solution to this.May be a log cleaner that deletes all the text logs ?

You mean in Contacts History?
Press Menu, select 'View By'. Deselect 'Message' and press 'Done'.
And messages do not appear in the history.

As stated in the original post, the call log only has the options to view by one of the following selections (not multiple selections): All logs, Missed calls, Received calls, Dialed calls, Received messages, and Sent messages.
If we could simply "uncheck" the 2 message options, this thread would not exist. We can only select one selection of the above choices. Further example: selecting missed calls would leave out received calls, dialed calls, received messages, and sent messages.
We would like something that only shows missed, received, and dialed calls (no sms).
So far, only the froyo builds are this way for the vibrant ROMs (except teamwhiskey's - i've tried macnut and axura which both suffer from this problem).

Is there a fix for this yet? I can't believe Google released Froyo with this dumb problem! There is no way to exclude SMS from the call log! My call log goes on for miles!
Can one of you XDA geniuses come up with a fix for us?

Ohh I hate this too. Its so annoying.

This is driving me crazy! Does anyone know if there is a replacement Call Log app that we can install in its place?

This is very annoying and for that fact I went back to ka5, does anyone have a way to replace the dialer app? I tried replacing the phone app but it gave me issues with connecting to the network.

For those who are rooted, I have bionix v rom installed and flashed the AOSP MMS app provided by Team Whiskey and this log annoyance is gone.

I may not answer your question about changing the 'call log' settings but this is what i do.
1. Go to 'contacts'
2. 'history' tab
3. Press the menu button
4. Then go to 'view by'
From there, there is a check list where you can select what kind of logs you want to see.
Couple of more steps to see the call history, but nonetheless it gives.you what you want.

Well the History app seems to work. But it brings up another question: why in the world are there TWO different call log apps in the native dialer? The "Logs" app doesn't resolve the situation, but to access the other call log app, you have to open the dialer, click on Contacts, then the History tab.
Maybe Darky can offer a custom fix in 9.3?

Ditto! This is driving me nuts! I am rooted and ready to add or delete whatever it takes to fix this. Would somehow downgrading from 2.2 dialer to the 2.1 api work?

try go contacts from the market, it provides a dialer aswell and looks much better than stock with all stock features and only calls in the log.

I posted a workaround for this in another thread which has somehow disappeared.
There are TWO call logs in the native dialer application. The first you get by clicking on Phone/Logs. This one is useless.
The second you get by clicking Phone/Contacts/History. Then click on the Settings button and create your filters. This one has all the features you need.

[Android 2.2+] MissedIt! -Text-based notifications for missed calls/SMS/e-mails/apps

MissedIt!
Text-based notification widget for missed calls/SMS/e-mails/apps
Link to the app on Google Play
Get information about the number of missed calls, unread SMS, unread e-mail messages and notifications from virtually any application a glance with this simple yet very customizable widget. You can use it with any lockscreen replacement app to access all this information without need to unlock your phone.
Missed It! must be enabled as an Accessibility Service to be able to receive application notifications ('Settings » Accessibility » Accessibility services'). If enabled and application notifications not detected, try disabling and then re-enabling.
Requirements
Android version 2.2 and up.
Features
Reports number of missed calls, unread SMS and pending voicemails.
If you use Gmail or K-9 Mail, you can obtain the number of unread messages of each account individually. In the case of Gmail, you can also select which label to monitor.
Also reports notifications from any application that uses the notification bar to report events (including WhatsApp, Tweetdeck, e-mail clients, etc).
Customization of font and background color and transparency. Also font faces (can use fonts stored in external SD card) and styles (bold, italic, underline).
Customization of the layout (alignments, margins, etc).
Text messages can be customized to show whatever phrase you want.
Represent numbers as text.
Resizable widget on ICS. With previous Android versions, there are multiple widget sizes available (user can select which sizes appears in widget list).
-- PERMISSIONS USED --
READ_PHONE_STATE, to get the voicemail state.
CALL_PHONE, to directly call to voicemail if there is any pending message.

This looks promising! I wanted TxMissed to break into two lines, and you've got that going on here already. I'll give it a try!
Edited to say - it would be nice if the background could be made transparent, if it can be, I'm not sure how to do it. I do like that it only shows the pertinent info, right now I have one missed text, and that's all that shows. It would be nice if the number of missed itens could be spelled out, like 'one txt missed', rather than '1 txt missed', or am I also missing how to do that, too?

You can. Go to the appearance settings and click on "color" under background, and when the color picker comes up, drag the alpha slider over to the right. Alpha is the level of transparency. Farther to the right, you'll get zero transparency, while the left is more opaque.
Does anyone know how I can get this app to check my TweetDeck notifications? Is it even possible?

Tested Gmail support. The notification works but after checking my Gmail MissedIt! constantly force closes. Stock 2.2 Samsung Captivate I896.

It doesn't say anywhere that it supports TweetDeck so I would assume that it doesn't so far.

SMS seems to be working great, but it's not getting my email. Stock Thunderbolt w/ Go Launcher.

Currently you can't. But I think it could be possible in a near future using the notification abilities of ADW.Notifier.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I wasn't sure of the capabilities with the string editor included in the app.

The help shows all the parameters the application currently supports.

To all of you getting problems with the email, the application may not be querying the correct account. I will post today an updated version to fix this.
BTW, can you send me an extract of the logcat showing the error?
Edited: To temporarily disable checks on email account, go to Appearance, disable the Default output format and edit the Custom format to delete the [mails] parameter from the string. The application will know that we are no interested in that information and will not check for it.

new line not working
Looks like a nice app.
But the new line command doesn't work.
It shows all issues in one line.
Using SGS.

Are you using the default format string or a custom one? If so, please check that [nl] is correctly written (n-ew l-ine).

seems working but havent tested intensively yet. some comments:
1) it doesn't display the messages until the event happenned? ie, it will only show "1 missed call", but nothing when there isn't any missed calls?
2) is it possible to enable starting the relevant apps (call log, default sms app, default email app) when we click on the message?

It's finally in the making! What I've been looking for for quite some time now.. Awesome! Definitely following this.

Exactly. However, I plan to add an option to show the message even if no event happened.

Currently isn't possible. But i will study it.

Ok I just reinstalled the app and now it is working fine. Don't know what the problem was.

Thank you!
It is working fine for me.

OP, nice work. If you want help and (hopefully) would consider open sourcing it, I can get you some new features added

New version published
I was assuming that the first account returned by AccountManager was a Gmail account. If you was getting a FC when trying to get unread e-mails, please try this new version.
And now a question. Currently the application only handles the first gmail account returned by AccountManager. In the case of having multiple Gmail acounts on the phone, how do you prefer this to be handled? Let the user select what account to use or add the possibility of handle all of them? Please take in consideration that the last option will undoubtedly increase not only the complexity of the code, but also the UI, so before taking any action on this, I need to know if users will consider this option interesting.

[Q] Simple GB lockscreen message notification

Hey everyone,
after flashing the latest CM7 nightly (and being quite happy with it), I do miss the nice SMS notification on LG's stock Froyo lockscreen. It seems that such a thing is not possible with the standard Gingerbread launcher that is contained in CM7, so I guess I need something like WidgetLocker.
Is there any widget you guys can recommend that just displays "x new message(s)" on the lockscreen for incoming SMS/WhatsApp/K-9 mail events, and disappears otherwise? And in the best case a click/drag on that notification would send me to the new message directly, just like LG's lockscreen does.
Regards,
Eric

minimalistic text maybe? you can add a sms counter and set it to open sms inbox

Hmm, thanks for the hint, but I guess this is not really what I'm looking for. I don't want a counter that shows "0 new messages" most of the time, I want a popup saying "1 new message from XZY", so something like a conditional widget. That would be perfect.

try go sms, or handcent
they have the pop-up screen and quick reply if you got any sms
for any notification,you could use a led notification

Try sms popup from the market! I just installed it 3 days ago and find it really useful.

I think I used the wrong word in my post. A popup is not what I am looking for.
As for LED notifications, I already have those. See here

Try GO Locker from android market. It's free...

[Q] HTC Sensation XL email notification

Got my XL a couple of days ago and like it a lot.
Just have one problem : How do I change the email notification sound? All other notification sounds I can change, except the one for incoming emails.
In the mail App, settings I can switch off the notification, but not change it.
Can anybody help?

Try this go to
Personalise - Sound - Notification Sound - Email - . Then the different notification sound list will come up.
Hope this helps.

Thanx for the quick reply.
Indeed, that was what I was looking for. Don't understand how I missed it.
Thanks again

try mail setting ，you will find it

Custom tone ONLY for SMS (text messages) in Oreo with app Google Android Message

Someone knows how to assign a custom tone at the SMS (text messages) ?
I use the app Google Android Message, not the Huawei one.
I see you can choose a system tone that will be used also for e-mails, calendar and SMS notifications, but I need to assign a specific tone ONLY for SMS.
Some hints ?
Thanks for the attention.
