Hey guys, I just got my SG2, coming from an iPhone 3GS. Not my first experience with Android, but it is my first Android phone. Because I do enjoy the iOS pop up notification system, I've installed SMS Popup from the market. Seems to work pretty well, except I cannot get it to pop up a notification for my SMS messages without unlocking the phone. I need to use a password for my phone per my company's security settings, and so the pop up notification won't show until I enter my password.
Is there a way for the pop up to show before I unlock the phone? I thought I set it up that way, but it's not working for me.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Found the fix by enabling the "show over lock screen fix" option under Popup settings.
did you try Handcent SMS?
this application has got "enable, disable popup over the lock screen" option.
Yes, I did. No luck there, unless I'm doing something wrong.
I saw another option for a "fix" for newer devices in Handcent, and that seemed to work. Looks like I found my own answer!

After installing android 2.1 i get the "would you register the phone" message popup.
I remember when i first got the phone i had this, always pressed cancel but it kept popping up and was billed for the sms.
Now the same thing is happening again, anyway of disabling this and not get billed for another sms registration?
I would also to know if that is possible.
open original sms app
press menu button
press settings
Didnt find any settings there, think the sms goes to 0046737494040 sony ericsson.
I also would like to know how to disable this message
From memory it was part of SE's "R2R Client" (Ready2Run) on 1.6, haven't put 2.1 on my phone so can't confirm that it's still the same, but removing that on 1.6 stopped it.
I've had a few different Android phones (mainly HTC and Samsung) but the SE Xperia Mini is my first SE Android phone so I may have missed something obvious in the settings. There's a few things I've not been able to figure out.
1. Turning on the phone requires a swipe to unlock. This is fine but I've enabled the pattern lock protection and now I have to swipe to unlock and then put in the pattern unlock. Seems bizarre. On the Samsung Galaxy S2, the swipe to unlock feature is not required when a pattern lock is setup. Is there something similar on the Xperia Mini?
2. The SE's default unlock screen shows missed calls and unread SMS messages. Missed calls count seem to work fine but the unread SMS message count is annoying. I have installed Handcent as my main SMS app but reading the message in there does not clear the message. I have to then open the native SMS application too. How can I avoid this need?
3. I've currently got mobile data network disabled. Everytime I switch on the phone, I get a notification saying "Data traffic is disabled". I suppose this isn't too much of a biggie as it's only on each reboot (hopefully don't need to reboot much). But is there a way to turn this message off?
TIA
Why you don't install GO Launcher Ex ? I think it will solve your two first issues. Maybe the third one too.

Hello all,
I have googled and googled and searched, and I can't find anyone with the same issue I have. I don't know if I'm using the wrong search terms or what.
I cannot seem to get a default dialer setting for ALL phone numbers.
- I have Dialer One installed because I like it better than the default.
- It installed no problem, though even when I was in the app, it would still switch to the default to make the actual call, I think. But that didn't bother me too much... at least I could use it to find the number I wanted.
- Then I installed Skype.
Now, every time I call a phone number that I have not called recently, the thing pops up AGAIN asking me if I want to dial it with "Phone" or "Skype." (Dialer One is never an option.) I can tell it to use the Phone always... but it will only set it for that phone number. I'm constantly calling new phone numbers, and I'm sick of having to continually tell it to always use the phone!
Soooo.... can anyone tell me how to do at least one of these:
- Either make Dialer One the default for all calls and phone numbers.
- Or make the default phone dialer the default for all calls and phone numbers... I can still open Dialer One to locate the number I want.
- Or somehow tell it to stop offering Skype to me. Ever. I'll open the Skype app when I want to call that way.
Note:
- In my Settings | Applications, there is no default dialer listed at all. Dialer One is the only thing listed. I may have tried to uninstall it back when I installed dialer one... which may be why I'm having issues. Maybe?
- Skype settings has absolutely nothing in settings to "Never offer" or anything of the sort.
- Every solution I've found says to clear the defaults, make a call, and choose always. Like I said... I do that dozens of times every week and it still keeps popping up.
***I do have the phone rooted, in case the solution requires that.***
Thanks in advance!
You can not replace the phone dialer..that will always be use whenever you are dialing some one. However installing a custom dialer will only give you a front end of the dialer but it will still use the default dialer software to dial some one.
Now try dialing any number thru SGS3 default dialer. It will ask you to dial thru phone or Skype. Choose phone and always.

Hi Guys,
I've ported one of my apps: eNotify to the Ornate TrueSmart:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hermes.enotifylite
A couple of users have written to request that eNotify turn on the screen when a new email arrives. So that works fine. However, they would also like the screen to be unlocked so that they don't need swipe to dismiss the clock-screen to see the notification.
We have a similar option that works on most Android devices: Settings / "Dismiss Screen Lock"
In code:
Deprecated Way:
KeyguardManager keyguardManager = (KeyguardManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardManager.newKeyguardLock(context.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();
Current Way:
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);
BUT it doesn't work on the Ornate TruSmart which leads me to believe this isn't actually a lock screen, but something else. Is there a way to programmatically dismiss this screen?
Best Regards,
Glen

I don't use screen lock on my TS, and your app works fine for me, awaking the screen and presenting the popup notification. One question though: When in silent mode, the vibrate feels like just one small bump, and is barely noticed. Any way to increase the vibrate, or set a pattern? Thanks.

Okay. Thanks for the info. I'm still attempting to track it down. Apparently, removing the lock works on some ROMS, but not others.
You can set the vibration like:
Alerts Tab (!) -> Default Profile -> Default Alert -> Bell Chime -> Vibration
There are baked in vibrations such as:
short, medium, long
But you can also hold your finger down to record one of a custom length.
Please feel free to email me at the support address if you need anything. I'd also welcome any reports of TrueSmart specific issues that need investigating.
Thanks,
Glen

That worked, thanks. So far so good with my TS...
@glensantacruz, eNotifyLite did not function on my device at all. Sadly once I installed the app, google search started to crash constantly. this made my TrueSmart unusable. Once I uninstalled everything worked once again.
I had high hopes for this.
Suggestion. in the setup separate SMS and email configuration. I am not interested in email in my tiny watch screen. I only really want sms, hangouts, Phone calls and basic glance-able alerts to wake my screen. On my phone I might try your app for email.. I looks very interesting and full of features.
I am a bit confused. In order to receive these notifications the ts must be connect through BT to my phone? If that is true how are u getting past the issues with BT connection with a phone

This is not a simple situation but I will attempt to explain my solution:
For SMS
first I have a full service SIM and account for my TS on ATT
next use google voice for my primary number, this involves installing the GV app and configuring it, then getting the GV number socialized..
next I force force sms responce on my phone and my TS to use the GV # with an Xposed plugin called "XVoice+".
For EMAIL / Internet based:
first I have a full service SIM and account for my TS on ATT that is part of a 15gb shared family plan.
The final result is I receive all SMS on both devices. A couple Caveats, GV does not support the short message format so no twitter alerts. depending on the sms source, some messages are more readable on the TS then others.
Unfortunately for me I'm in Canada and lacking Google voice. Thanks for the explanation tho. Omate is doing a ota in a few more weeks fixing the BT issue. I think I will hold off and wait and see how well it works. I've spoken with Le pen and he tells me that the new fix is working very well.
A few days ago I noticed that my voicemail notification in the notification bar was still displayed even though I did not have any new voicemails.
I googled and found a few suggestions on how to clear the notification. One was to go into app manager and uncheck the show notification box in the phone app. I did that but still had the notification showing. The next was to use the clear cache and clear data buttons in the phone app, both of which I did. That did clear the notification, but now I do not get any voicemail notifications .
I tried to go back into the phone ap and recheck the notification box, but it is now greyed out and I can not.
I next tried using the reset phone option in backup and reset, but I still have the same issue.
I have the phone rooted and S Off using sunshine and have TWRP installed. I do not have a custom ROM installed.
Can anyone verify that they have the ability to check/uncheck the notification box in their phone app, I might be imagining that I was able to do that part. If I should have the ability to use that box, can anyone help me out in getting the option back?
*****Update*****
It seems all of my problem was not phone related, but Verizon related. Somehow, they had my account partially subscribed to visual voicemail. I had them put me back on the regular plain voicemail and I am getting the notifications again now, so problem solved.
