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.

SMS Message "Lag"? :/

Ive not tried searching for this problem, seems abit of an awkward thing to search so please dont shoot me
I've noticed for awhile now some times when im typing a text msg it'll work fine..... then it suddenly misses letters/key presses etc so my text message ends up
"Hey mate, how re yu oing?"... esspecially on words like "Little" i end up with "Litle" etc.
But going into Word / notepad etc it types no problems & other times i can do an SMS session with no problems then it'll suddenly act up, any idea why its doing this?
Im only using the kaisers default SMS program, maybe i should be using something abit better?

search for clear type in this forum you'll find your answer.

Ahh thanks, went to disable clear type ... damn things already disabled
*scratches head in confussion*
well ive enabled it, maybe that'll help lol

I haven't had any recent issues even with clear type enabled. A while back I did but now all is fine. My device appears to act funny at times. Just recently I lost all sound for almost 3 days, which was not a rom/radio compatibility issue.

mine does weird things aswell, i use alarms alot... anyway i flashed my phone (so date was reset), my alarms werent going off, couldnt figure out why.
then relised the year was off & set the year correctly then the alarms started working, no idea what caused it to rely on the date.
now i think about it i guess "Monday 8am" would of been day differant day in 2005.... oki problem solved.
not very often that happens

Okay boys, here is the answer. There are two different functions you will have to modify. They are both under Settings>Buttons>Up Down Control.
Cleartype is only used for smoothing edges and has no affect on typing... btw.
Two different functions you will have to change are Lower the delay before first report to short, (far left) and Repeat rate to the slower side.
That helps on the lag issue you have been experiencing.
The second thing you should try is to disable predictive text.
Settings>Inputs>Word Completion
Try turning it off it helps a lot of people.
Have you flashed your rom or are you using the ATT one?
If you use the ATT one these problems will help, but the interface is still slow due to the bloatware on the phone. If you use a cooked rom the first thing should help as well as the second however, I am running a cooked rom L9 (laurentius) with no problems and I rarely miss type.
I have noticed one issue with my keyboard though that I cannot figure out and do not like, pressing the space bar and a number or letter before or after, the spacebar trumps the other buttons and many times I just see the space and no letter or number that I typed in close time proximity to the thing I was entering. Hope this helped.

[Q] Touchless Controls

So my dad just picked up a Moto X today on Verizon, I've had my DE edition on VZW for about 2 weeks now. Well, I was over at his house today showing him some stuff, and I noticed his phone announced calls and texts all the time, even when not driving, and asked him if he wants to answer. I of course turned off Moto Assist, but it still announced calls and asked if he wanted texts read back. (It would announce who texted and ask if he wanted to listen, or ignore. Not sure if mine does this, I had Assist off before today) I went through every single option on his phone. I'm guessing the Moto Assist is bugged into thinking he's always driving, but the little icon never shows up in his notifications, and I actually turned off Assist and it was still doing it. Cleared data too. I tried everything. Reboots, turned on and off GPS, etc.
The rub is, we both actually LIKE it on all the time. It's nice to just have the phone on the desk and hear who's texting and the message without having to touch the phone. It's nice to be able to answer the phone on the coffee table without grabbing the phone, or even moving.
Is there anyway to enable this functionality all the time? (Or disable it on my dad's phone for that matter) Has anyone else run into this 'issue'? (If my dad hadn't seen my phone, he would have never known it wasn't supposed to be like that all the time.) Any ideas?

I too would like to see this 'feature' as a option, and I hope it can be enabled [on purpose] in the future. (If Motorola doesn't have sense enough to make it an option, maybe a ROM developer can.)
I searched and found this:
We're aware of a rare condition when calls and text will be announced even when you can't see the "drive mode" notification on the status curtain. We're fixing this in the next upgrade. (The simplest way to get out of this situation -- and it's not that simple -- is to leave Assist's drive mode settings on, get in a vehicle, allow drive mode to kick in again. When you do that, Assist will get back to the correct state. After the issue is fixed, you should rarely encounter the issue again. Yeah, I know. Not something anyone is eager to do but we wanted to put it out there.)

FWIW I first thought your dad's phone might be stuck in "car mode" as thought it was in a car cradle, but that would have a steering wheel icon in the notification area. I actually tried car mode by using the "car mode on" app to force it on. It seemed to put my phone in car mode, but that alone did not cause the phone to announce calls, etc.

Thanks man! I actually found that post as well earlier today, it looks like it is indeed a bug with Moto Assist. Funny thing is, my dad has it left on and I called him this morning after he drove to work, and it's still working. IDK lol, but he likes it so whatever.
I would LOVE to be able to do this while playing video games, or working, or whatever though. Motorola better just make a toggle switch... it's not like it's hard.

[Q] Annoying bugs with my active!!!

So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

First off I'll say that ML2 had been known to be buggy. For your first problem, did you make sure Glove Mode is disabled? For your second problem I have no idea. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

If it is in fact stock, do a software update to KitKat and it should fix your stability issues. I can't because of root.

Annoying 4 note notification sound

The sound is 4 progressively higher notes on a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument. Usually plays on unlock, but also randomly throughout the day and night. My default notification sound is silence, so this might be tied to an app or the OS (MM 6.1). I just don't know what it is - other than loud and inconvenient. Any Ideas? This is driving me crazy and waking my wife at night. Thanks.

its an app, 100000%. now your job is to find out which one.

Hi and thanks for the confirmation Simms22. :good: I know. Kinda obvious.
I have gone through settings and turned off most radios thinking it could be tied to an app through BT, GPS, NFC, etc.; a successful connection or location fix. I have also gone through the various apps and checked their notification sound settings too. No dice. Whats worse is that I have gone through all my ringtones and notification sounds and can't find it.
It seems to be tied to the Google Now cards notifications, but if it is, I can't find it. I don't really want to turn those off but I guess that's next. Grrrr.

id still be guessing, but google doesnt have a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument sound on the nexus 6, so i know its not a default sound.

Thanks for the info. Hope I described the sound well enough. I'm mostly deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. Misspent youth and all that.
I know the notifications and ringtones I've added. That leaves apps that have brought their own sounds with their install. So it's back to the haystack.
I think I'll let it percolate in the sub-conscience for a while. Besides, I'm way behind on a personal Tasker project. Thanks again. I'll update later with what I find out.

you can enable safe mode. that way you can check if its an app. long press the power button until you get the power off option. then long press on the power off until the safe mode option pops up. if that notification doesn't go off, then its an app. as on safe mode, all apps are disabled.

Flash another ROM. This happened to me on PureNex and when I switched to Chroma it went away.
Sometimes it actually happens once in a while. I'll hear the annoying "do dieu do doo" sound
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I also have this problem. Has anybody found out the cause?
It started a few months ago and I ignored it, but now it is really annoying.
I put my phone into safe mode and it still happens. I assume this means it must be a preloaded app?
I installed a notification history app and nothing is listed when it happens!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
