[Q] [REQ] App to compensate for lack of LED notification light? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Im finding it a bit of a pain that theres no LED light on an otherwise awesome phone. If my phone is in another room or on silent I have to keep picking it up and unlocking the screen to see if Ive missed any calls or texts.
What I propose is an app that will make the phone beep and or vibrate at a certain timed interval whenever you have missed calls or texts.
My mum's old Motorolla RAZR does this (lol) so I dont see why this option hasnt been included on the SII.
I cant find any mention of an existing app that does this, but if there is one, please accept my apologies and point me in the right direction.
Cheers
Skola

mute button pressing by accident

Hi all
I have got a new sony x10 mini pro, and have an odd issue that seems a design floor.
When on a call my ear constantly presses the mute button and mutes people.
any one know of a way to remove the mute button on the interface or another app that can be used for in call functions.
any advice would be much apreiciated.
thank you
Mat
Place rthe phone closer to the ear so that the proximity sensor disables rthe screen

i have d same issue n keep muting calls
I have posted the same issue here
I use hands free but it is still easy to press with the side of your hand if you are holding the phone...
I notice on my phone the touch still works outside the screen border. and it sometimes goes on speaker or mute

Really need a fix for this. Mostly the mute button is the problem, but i have had the loudspeaker activated a few times too.

This is really annoying.

I really nead a solution for this.
I was also annoyed with this, so I made an app that launches it self after accepting the call to avoid the issue. The app can be found at my site on paxanima DOT net (can't post URLs yet, apparently)
I just made it, so not too much real life testing, but seems to do the trick.

Good work on that, thats a start.
But can someone just remove the goddamn mute button? UHHH!
It's too complicated for me. I think i installed like 4-5 apps but still couldnt get to the point where you can get the apk from the phone.
True, this is very annoying. SE has received plenty of complaints so I hope they're working on a solution. I am wondering if installing any of the new custom roms would sort out the issue for me since waiting for SE updates is a nightmare.
My problems started when I first updated to 2.1 where it happened in more than half of calls and got better with the last update and now happens only occasionally.
i never had that problem but i think that costum rom will help for these prob.
sory for bad english
Yeah, you have to be careful. Hold your phone from the back to avoid touching the front sides and slowly approach it to your head (the proximity sensor is at the top left of the phone). I'm pretty sure I look like a retard while doing so but hey, better than having the person on the other end saying "hello? is there anybody here? hello?".
Same here
This issue has also been annoying me from the beginning, and on every release of the SE standard ROMS. I don't understand why some people have the issue and others don't. Maybe it has something to do with the shape of one's ears??
No seriously, when i do some tests, like calling to my voicemail and then holding the phone in my hand, on some occasions the phone goes black after covering the proximity sensor with my finger, and sometimes the phone does not react at all when covering the sensor. So maybe some processes that are running prevent the proximity sensor from working correctly.
Would it be possible to adjust the semcphone.apk to have no mute button at all? I never use this option anyway.
Or is it only possible to change the shape and color of the icons/images.
As far as I know. When ever you made a call or answering call, the screen will turn off, right after you place the phone on your ear... So there's should be no pproblem answering or making call and suddenly pressed the mute button with own ear. Im using the same phone, and making almost 20 to 30 calls a day. And never even once encounter the problem as stated.

I get this problem once in awhile too. I have to bring the phone to my ear slowly.
can't we just replace the dailer APK with something from HTC or something?
I also hate the current contact list, theres no smart search.
Yes you can. But it has to be ported with some mod for it to work.

[Q] Ringer not ringing sometimes

I searched the forum but could not find this. Please bear with me!
While I get incoming calls in my X10i, the phone sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't. This results in lot of missed calls. Very weirdly, if the phone rings in the first call, in the next call, it might not, or vice versa. This happens without any specific trend. Any help, please?
Secondly, can anyone please tell how to check the proximity sensor? I somehow feel mine is not working, as previously, the phone would light up on taking out of cover. Now it doesn't.
Any help any one?

Then can it be that some downloaded app is creating this problem? I dont have any volume controller app, but can some downloaded games or other app doing this to the phone?
So the ringer problem is not mine alone. Can a software update fix this?
are you using a task killer???? it seems to be the root of most evils... suggest switching any autokilling off if you are.

Yes I am using ATK. But its being used for a long time, and the problem surfaced just 5/6 days back. Still what do you say, I uninstall it and see? This problem is giving me quite a headache, as I am missing many important calls.
Not getting much help.

Calling Whatsapp users!

hello there!
Has anyone been able to get the motion activated "turn over"function to work with your whatsapp notifications?
I am on Villainrom 2.4.2, ninpo kernel.
Please help. Thanks!

It only works in apps that support it.
It also won't work well anyway because the notification tone is just a single play through (and is pretty short), so by the time you reach to turn it over, the tone would have already finished playing. This turn over feature works only once each time you turn it over. If you leave the phone facing down, it does not continue muting.
I remember it working in the past with infusion/litening rom. Can't remember which.

Screen turns on when receiving SMS

Everytime I receive a SMS message my screen turns on for about 3 seconds then shuts off. I need this disabled ASAP, so annoying! I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere but when I searched it I didnt find anything for the SGS3.

Only way I seen was to use third party sms app. Hand cent or go sms both work and keeps screen off after you set it up that way.

Yea Handcent fixed it for me & I like Handcent better anyway.
That's more of a work around rather than a solution. There's got to be a fix for this. Someone else posted about this in the general section.

how do i stop my phone from vibrating when receiving a text message?

ok i been seaching threw my phone for about an hour now and can not for the life of me figure out how to stop my phone from vibrating when getting a text.. all i want it to do is make a sound and it makes a sound to vibrates??
Open the messaging app and then go to settings for the app? It should give you the option for a notification sound and also to never vibrate. I think.
