Annoying After-text noise

I'm having a problem with my XDA Stellar. O2 always displays your credit on screen after and call/text in the form of a network message. The thing is i can't find out if you can turn off the sound for these alerts. I've tried changing everything under "sounds and notifications" but it doesn't seem to be in there. The only way i can stop it making noise is to turn the sound off on the phone completely which means i then have to turn it back on before using something like tomtom.
So my question is, can this sound be turned off and if not can the alert be turned off altogether?
Thanks

Perhaps kaiser tweak will help.

No, unfortunately as good as KaiserTweak is, it has nothing to help me.

Bump. Does anyone have any idea on what to do about this as it's becoming a serious problem

when the message comes in, which sound does it make?
What im trying to get at is maybe the phone is seeing it as a system even/warning which you can't change through the drop down list but you can disable. Try going to sounds and notifications and on the first page there untick "Events (warnings, system events)" and see if that stops them from making a sound

My wife had this with her 6230i - the solution was to phone O2 and ask them to turn off the notification at their end.

Yeah, thats what I did to disable text message sounds. It works. Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications Tab.....and im sure you'll figure out the rest.

How is this a serious problem? Someone that has cancer has a serious problem.. Anyways, turning off the sent notification in the KaiserTweak didn't work for you? Maybe one of the registry gurus can figure it out.

It plays the "notify" sound. I can turn off literally everything in sounds and notifications including events and programs and it still makes a noise. the only way to stop it is to turn all sound off.

Yeah i think this is what its going to come down to. I thought it was worth asking first incase someone knew how to turn just the sound off.

The reason its becoming a problem is mainly down to TomTom. I havent yet bought an in-car holder as i'm waiting for one with a stereo audio jack, so when i use tomtom i rely on the sound as i cant actually see the screen. Yesterday (and many times before) i needed to use tomtom but i forgot the sound was off. So whilst driving i suddenly realised i didnt know where i was going and i wasnt being told. I'm sure you're aware its not very easy to turn the sound on without looking at the screen so i had to find somewhere to stop during rush hour. Not fun.
I have turned off sent notification but it isn't that thats causing the problem it's because O2 send a network alert telling you your credit everytime you've used some of it.
Thanks for all the responses. I think i'm going to give O2 a ring and ask them to turn it off. If anyone knows how to turn just the sound off though it would be really useful.

well, if its just a problem of you accidentally starting tomtom with no sound.....then i suggest you use tomtom starter
http://www.klaes.nl/
it will automatically change you volume to the max when you start tomtom

Hmmm that looks very interesting. Thanks i'll give it a go.

[Q] Moto Assist Help

I can't seem to get "assist" to not accept calls while in sleep mode. All calls ring through no matter what. I have "silence" checked and if I set the time from 7am-5pm when I test it with another phone the call comes through. The phone number I am calling from is not marked as a favorite. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've found this feature to be so buggy that it's not even usable. I had the same problem as you, and read tips online that say to reset the app data. I did that, reconfigured the app, and then sleep mode worked as advertised. Next day, busted again. If you want to reset the app every day, that seems to be the only way to get it to work. Lame...

I guess we are the only ones with this problem! I'll call their tech support and see if they could help me.

Suddenly Can't answer calls on the Nexus 6

About 2 days ago I noticed when i receive a call, it rings but the screen is black. If i hit the power button it will wake the screen but it doesn't show I'm receiving a call except for the fact I lose LTE ( I'm on Verizon). I can also double tap the screen ( have the mod) and it will wake but still nothing. Once the call is over it will show a missed call in the status bar. I'm rooted but on 5.0.1 stock. Was working fine until a few days ago. Anyone else?

Are you using Lux? If so, uninstall it. Problem solved. If not, then I'm not sure what to tell you.

No, not using Lux. Starting to piss me off. Just shows up out of the blue and haven't really installed any new programs in a while.

Well I'm still having the problem but i have found if I can wake the screen and then hit the phone icon, one of the options it gives me is to "return to call in progress" and if I hit that it gives me the option to answer the call. This sucks.

Any chance you've got something covering or blocking the ambient light sensor? When my screen got cracked, there was a fissure that went directly over the sensor, and I had the same problem you're having. Maybe some dust under a screen protector?

That was a great idea but still didn't work. I took the screen protector off and still the same thing. I might try a custom rom but I think it's time to sell. I love big phones and I do like this phone but it may be a tad too big for me. Might put it on Craigslist but the hicks in my area don't understand what "Nexus" is or "price is firm"...."will you take $150 for that there phone?"

Do you have your phone number integrated with Google Voice? If so you might want to double check your Google Voice integration settings as I know they have that caller ID that lets it ring to voice mail and you can decide if you want to take the call after they start to leave a message
Google just did some changes with Hangouts this week that nerfd Messenger and Google Voice for me
Post here in the Q&A section is forthcoming but in the mean time you can check out my post on the Google forums about what their changes broke HERE
If you are looking to try a ROM check out Clean ROM - link is in my signature below

I do use my google voice number but I don't have it setup like you were talking about. It rings directly to my phone. I checked my setting and they are the same. I tired using hangouts for my voice text messages but found that a lot of the time it wouldn't notify me that I had received a message so I went back to the Voice app. I'm just stumped. I my give the Clean Rom a shot. Do you know if it works well with Verizon? Seen some people saying they were having a few problems with some of the roms on Verizon. Thanks for the input.

Clean ROM is a striped down and tweaked stock rom so it doesn't have some of the issues the ASOP roms do. I had to look through a few pages from about page 18 on, as that is when he announced CR was no longer in beta and released the 1.1 rom. Saw more t-mob, at&t and sprint peeps in there but at least 1 person on verizon reported in all was good and tether is supposed to be working

I just installed it and it seems to have fixed my problem for answering calls. Have no idea what was wrong before on the original rom. Seems to be running nicely and Verizon is working fine it seems like. Thanks for the recommendation.

Nice!! :highfive:
If you could please chime in on the clean rom thread so others see that a verizon user is up and running on it as I had seen way more peeps on the other 3 carriers there

I definitely will as soon as I head out and do a little testing on it.

I had this exact problem with my wife's Nexus 6 but mine was functioning fine. Turns out that under SETTINGS - SOUND & NOTIFICATION - APP NOTIFICATION she had the Goggle Dialer blocked.

Have the exact problem outlined by the original thread starter, scour a few webpages with different sort of solution.... nothing works!
My solution: Simple, just uninstall the Phone app updates, voila, all back to normal.
Hope it'll help someone.

Mi Mix Incoming Calls & Dialing Out

Hello, all. I'm new here and I'm also a new Mi Mix user. Luckily, I have another daily phone because I am having issues with incoming calls and dialing out. First, when I get a call, I can hear the phone ringing, but there's no notification on the main screen so I can see who's calling. I'm not even sure how to answer the call. I think I've been hitting the phone icon to answer, but not sure if that is what has helped me answer the call. Shouldn't there be an answer or ignore option that I visually see somewhere? Also, I don't see any option to hang up the call. I'm guessing, my Mi Mix hangs up after the caller has hung up. These things seem like simple things that a smartphone should do nice and simple. Why am I having an issue with seeing who's calling me, issues with dialing out, and issues figuring out how to hang up. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello. Please mention your current rom version, modifications you've made, etc. to get a better help. Otherwise some would suggest you to clean flash the rom or something like that.
Besides, it also might be caused by a theme(If*). Change it to default. Also this post has to be posted under Q/A forum(only and once).

Hi. I am very new to this particular phone, so I am new to things like ROM and flash. I bought the phone used. The seller listed is as not having been ROMed at all, but maybe it was. How can I tell what ROM I have? I also would not be opposed to clean flashing it since I would prefer it to be new (so to speak) when I purchased it. I have already factor reset it and wiped it and then rebooted it, but not sure if that is the same as cleaning the flash. Please advise. Thank you for your time.

I got the issue fixed. Thanks for your efforts.

Not receiving texts

Hi all,
my 4X, Miui 9.5.4.0 ROM, will not receive text messages most of the time. I can send texts OK but for the most part I cannot receive a text. I say for the most part because every now and then one seems to sneak through for some reason.
The only messaging app installed is the stock MIUI one that came with the phone. I did try a couple of other messaging apps with the same result. They have since been removed.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
TIA
Greg

I can't imagine it's something wrong with MIUI? it never actually happened to me, I'd contact your carrier first, perhaps they have blocked numbers from texting you
I recommend also checking in Settings; System apps > Call settings > Blocklist to see if the phone has blocked incoming test messages from any numbers

I've just placed the SIM into another phone and it works fine, so it's not the carrier. Checked blocklist and nothing there, plus I can miss and intermittently get texts from the same person.
It's got to be a MIUI thing!

Do you notice that you lose signal a lot? It could be a faulty antenna band too, it can be replaced under warranty

No I have a strong signal, so I do not think it's that.
Just did a test:
1. Rebooted phone
2. As soon as the lockscreen appears I sent a text from my wife phone.
3. It is received.
4. Wait one minute and send another 3 texts from my wifes phone.
5. None received.
6. Reboot phone.
7. The 3 missed texts arrive as soon as the phone reboots.
8. Wait one minute and send another 3 texts from wife's phone.
9. None received.
10. Reboot phone
11. 3 missed texts arrive as soon as the phone reboots.
It has to be MIUI.

That sounds annoying... If you can, go to developer options, and enable "Show all ANR" and use the phone (especially SMS) for a while to see if the culprit is a system process failing to stay alive, and try to clear all data for that process
You should be able to find the process by going to "Installed apps" and enabling "Show system apps"
Researching more on the problem has no real conclusion at all.. Some people solved the problem by just doing a factory reset, some more gets it fixed after calling their carrier, another gets it fixed (temporarily) by just turning airplane mode on and off

I have found the problem. "Turn on MIUI optimization" in Developer Options was turned OFF. Turning it ON fixed the receiving of texts. Tried several times turning it OFF and then ON and texts stopped everytime it was OFF. Don't know what this setting does but it needs to be ON to receive texts.

That's weird! I have it off all the time, what it does is
1. Closes apps in memory prematurely, this can be bad or good, unused ram is wasted ram anyway
2. Monitor background services and disabled part of it when you're not actually using it, this killed notifications for certain apps for me, at least back in MIUI 8
There's more, but it's really trivial like UI changes it does, happy it's solved though
