hi, apologies if this has already been covered but the forum search engine is not the easiest thing to use when you are not sure what the question is!!
has anyone written anything that would give this device the ability to give periodic reminders, ie vibration alert or a beep of sorts to remind of missed calls or text messages? i am quite sure its not something which comes as a feature on the device but would be really useful.
AlarmPal from PocketMax - get it from here - is the only reliable solution I know of....
You can (supposedly) patch the registry to enable the "Repeat" option in Sounds & Notifications for any entry where it is currently greyed out (like missed call, new SMS etc..) - check out this post for all the details - I've tried this in the past and I found that the notifications kept going even after you'd read the SMS or dealt with the missed call......YMMV
Hope that helps
Mark.
excellent, cheers. looks like just the badger i was after.
On the samesite is fone alarm been using it for over a year, fantastic solution.

Do a google search for don't forget 2. Freeware.
But I prefer Phonealarm myself
SPB Phone Suites also has this feature, along with a nice today photo contacts option.
Guys, can anybody help me with this one?
I'm running Touch-IT 12 on my Xperia but have always had the following issue.
Basically, whenever I receive a new Email message, my phone will not come out of standby to tell me. I have to bring it out of standby myself and then touch the screen in order to see the message number go up.
I have the notifications turned on and have an alert and vibration set for new Email message.
I reads somewhere to change the "AC resuming from suspend time" and "Battery resuming from suspend time" from 1 second to 60 seconds. Done this and after a soft reset, still no joy.
Can someone help with this VERY annoying problem? All I want is to be told when I get an Email! Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny

install xperia tweak and on the front page of it untick disable wakeup on new message
Still no joy
Nope, still no joy.
Also, I've now noticed that if I get a new message on the phone, but don't go into my inbox, when I receive another new message, I will get the notification.
Very strange. I thought it may be down to doing a send/receive in Outlook rather than Live, but still no difference.
Very weird and so so annoying.

Dont know how i can help you then mate because i had the exact same problem and it was because i had that box ticked under xperia tweak - hope someone else knows a fix

Are you talking about push/auto update?

I don't have push email. I'm talking about Windows Live sync being set to update whenever a new message is received.
Works fine in pulling the message, just won't sound the message tone or vibrate.
Work Around
Okay, after a lot of testing I've found a work around for my problem, not really a fix.
If I go into one of my other inboxes before going into standby, the notifications work fine.
If the last inbox I went into was Hotmail, then the notification won't work. If I move over to the Outlook inbox or SMS/MMS inbox, and then do whatever I like (except go back into the Hotmail inbox), the notifications work fine.
Not sure if anyone else has this problem. If so, I hope this helps for you too.
Again, this is when setting Windows Live to sync whenever a new message is received. The results seem as good as push email to me.

Sonny
One question: Do you close your inbox properly or do you just press the OK Button?
Another Work Around

I close it properly, ie press the X in the corner.
That being said, just tested the other possibility... not closing it properly and just pressing okay. With this leaving Hotmail running in the bakground, it works!
So we've come to the conclusion that minimizing Hotmail by pressing OK works and going into another inbox and properly closing messaging works also!
We're getting somewhere..!
Now only if there was a way to close Hotmail properly and not have to go into another inbox to have the notifications work!

That's strange, I had expected the opposite... Perhaps there is a problem with the "wakeup" of tmail.exe... But I really have no idea how to fix this. Isuppose you have tried Softreset?
Ha ha! Tried very many soft resets!
I've had this issue with all of the custom roms I've used (all Itje's). Not sure if it's the roms, or the phone.
Oh well, at least I have a work around for it now. Better than nothing.
hey, i consatntly receive error page of ocurring with my tmail.exe.
what is tat and why is it appearing? what is happening?
i still cannot get mail notification at all..........
Now I have an issue with the notifications engine, but the reverse!
I use Manila which reflects perfectly new emails on the email icon in the slider tab, so I don't want the envelope to appear on the bar at the top. I've disabled all notifications for email (activesync), and of course the little envelope still appears.
It also remains there with a logic I haven't been able to define, even after opening the email, so I find myself going into the notifications screen to "dismiss all".
Would anybody know how to definitively stop the notification appearing at the top of the screen in the first place?
oh. wat i wan is opposite of urs.
any1 care to help?
I apologize if this has been asked/resolved before, but I searched the forums and google quite a bit to no avail. I have found other instances of people with this issue but have not found a resolution yet.
Every time I receive a single text message, I get a notification on the unlock screen that says I have 2 texts. When I unlock the phone and pull down the notification area, it lists the 2 texts. One of the texts is the actual text i just received and I can access it just fine. The other text listed is a text from weeks ago that has long been deleted, including the entire thread it was in. This ghost text will not go away.
I can clear the notifications and it goes away, but as soon as I receive another text from anyone, it pops up there again. I have tried some other solutions that popped up on google. These were to download the SMS Cleaner app and search by keyword. Upon doing this, the app does not find any texts with the keywords from the ghost text.
I have also tried replying to the text to create a new thread and maybe try to delete it again, but even when the new thread is created/deleted the ghost text comes back.
I also turned off/on text notifications several times also combined with power cycling the phone, which did not solve this either.
Note: This text was from a room alert system in our server room at work. It sends email alerts that we then have converted to text message and sent to our phones.
Not sure if it being an email has anything to do with it, but I have received these alerts several times before without any of them getting stuck.
My phone is still on 2.1 and was rooted using Unleash the Beast.
Anyone have the same problem, or any ideas? Is there a folder that holds texts somewhere in the root file system that I can clean out?
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail about the problem as possible, this has been annoying me for weeks.
Try deleting the email alert? Just spitballing...
This happened to me last night!
I keep getting the same Ghost Txt message
The only way i can think to get rid of it would be a Data Reset.
But i dont wanna erase my whole phone cuz of a software issue that may happen again!
Have u fixed it?
No, still no luck on this. Anyone have any ideas?
I had a problem similar to this with the dumb phone that i had before my Captivate. I called AT&T customer support because I didn't want to reset my phone and they got it resolved. Apparently there was a message stuck in their server marked as unread, but since it had been read on my phone it said 0 new messages. This might work for you, too?
Solved
Open the spot where notifications are read the phone number and send a text to it, it will open the message thread and you can delete it there
Hello guys, a question on preview lines in the received email - I am on LSZ, Philz and usually, when there was only 1 email received, I could see couple of lines of it, like header, and part of text, which I found quite cool. In the course of the days I noticed that feature is gone and I am not sure whether it happened by upgrade to Gmail 4.3 or if I just by an accident switched some setting off. Thanks for advise.

OK, figured that out - you need to swipe out the message in the notification with 2 fingers to enlarge it and then there are 2 more buttons revealed with options to replay or archive ... You may also change buttons preference in gmail settings. It was probably stated in update info, but who is reading that stuff anyway ...
**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing this profile GH will alert you of missed calls and unread text messages, including the name or ph# of the caller or sender, every 5 minutes.
1. Download and install Tasker and sign up and download AutoCast BETA (you will need the full paid version). Also download the Missed_Call_Reminder.prf.xml and Unread_Message_Reminder.prf.xml
2. Once you have received the AutoCast BETA update via the Play Store, open the app, select "Manage Cast Devices," press +, then select your Google Home.
3. Place the Missed Call and Unread Message Reminder xml files from Step 1 into the Tasker/profiles folder (if the folder does not exist, create it). Open Tasker, long-press "Profiles," select "Import," then import the xml files.
4. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
Google Home will now automatically remind you of missed calls and unread text messages every 2 minutes until the notifications are cleared from your phone (you can disable by setting your phone to silent). Enjoy!
**Important**
- GH must be connected to the same wifi network as your phone.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker and AutoCast or your device may disable these apps when idle.
- Also recommended to set "Use Reliable Alarms" to "Always" under Tasker's Settings/Preferences/Monitor.

Everything works but it says %CName instead of the actual name. I am on the Google pixel but I'm not sure if that matters. Any idea how to fix this?

Hmm, that indicates that the variable is empty.
Try rebooting your phone then calling yourself from a landline and see if that fixes the issue. Also, make certain that you have received the AutoCast BETA update from the PlayStore.
For some reason home is announcing calls I took and missed. And it won't stop saying it..I have to clear my call history for it to stop telling me who called. Any idea?

It's supposed to announce missed calls until you clear the missed call notification from your phone (I use another profile, which I haven't posted, to clear notifications via GH).
But, it should not notify when you actually answered a call. Does your phone display a missed call notification even when you answer? Try a reboot.

Yeah I clear notification and go into dialer and click on history to make sure. Yet it still does it.
Phone does not display notification even after I take a call. One thing I have noticed is autocast always says "casting now"
Is that normal?

The casting now notification is normal and seems to keep autocast reliable and not killed off by the system.
Try opening the missed call reminder profile in Tasker and see if it remains active, i.e. green text, even after you clear the notification.

Alrighty I cleared my history because it was getting annoying when my wife ccomes home I'll get her to call me and I'll let u know.
Thanks for the help
Works great but when the number is announced , (I am in area code 410), it says 4billion 100 million and so on. How can I get it to just say 410 or 4, 1, 0.
Thanks so much

I recently updated the .xml files to fix that. Are you using the most current .xml files? If not, delete the profiles in Tasker then download and import the new files to Tasker.

I just uploaded new files expanding the different ph# formats that the .xml file will recognize, e.g. +1 XXX-XXX-XXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, 1 XXX-XXX-XXXX. Not sure if this is the problem but maybe worth a try.
Otherwise let me know the format of the ph#'s that display on your phone for incoming calls.

I am sure it's me. I am asking so much for one person, but I appreciate it. My numbers are 10-digit format xxx-xxx-xxxx. My numbers do not use +1. (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Thanks again. Frustrating....

The XML files already recognize those standard 10-digit formats. I have no idea what the problem may be. Good luck.

Would you mind sharing your profile on clearing notifications? That would be so helpful! Thank you!
If I would like this to work with multiple users, they can follow the same steps on their phone?
Sorry for the noob question as I am new to customizing GH with tasker and I am not sure if it is multi-user support.
