Does anyone know how to disable the vibration when the phone soft resets? I couldn't find a way to disable it. I soft reset my Titan once a day and I don't like how it vibrates.
I have a software that schedules the phone to soft reset at night so in the morning I would have all the RAM back but most of the time I would get startled when my phone vibrates on top of the table next to my bed or anywhere that I happen to place it within reach before I go to sleep.
If someone knows a registry edit I'd really appreciate it. I would cab it so others who wants it could just install it.
I know you might think, why not just reset it before you sleep but sometimes i forget thats why i have it scheduled to auto reset.
I am looking for an answer to this as well. On a side note what app are you using to schedule your softreset?
Have you tried using Oxios to reclaim your ram?
I also would like to know if there's a registry hack or something to disable that vibration. Anyone??

I'm pretty sure it would be more than a registry edit. It does it even when the phone goes into bootloader if I remember correctly. So it is probably written somewhere in the depths of the phone.
on same bout.
anyone figured this out yet?
Hi Guys,
Somehow I seem to have turned on a feature which reads out the number of the person sending me a text message. This happens when my phone is on silent too. Which is begining to annoy me, especially when I am at work. Have had a look through settings for SMS but can't see the option to turn it on or disable it. Does anyone know how I can switch it off?
Thanks.

I have not seen any Settings like this in my Mobile for now.If you are sure you changed some settings and than it started reading out numbers use factory default settings it might Help but before doing that wait for some time some other members might know how to stop it.If you have not Received any answer about this than use factory default settings.
The thing is I don't remember changing any settings for this at all. It's not something I wanted to have switched on. I'm reluctant to do a factory reset as I have my phone setup just perfectly at the moment.
Hit the home button twice to get the voice launcher up, turn off "driving mode"
Job done.
Thanks for that. Although I managed to resolve it another way. Went into Settings - voice input and output and de-selected Driving mode.
Your way is a lot quicker though. One for the books.
No worries, took me 48 hours to figure it out for myself the first time.
Howdy! I peruse the forums quite a bit to figure out little fixes for my phone, but there are a couple problems that I haven't quite been able to find proper solutions for.
The first problem deals with the phone randomly shutting down (usually only when it's in my pocket). I've seen other posts regarding the topic, but the OPs usually stated that simply holding the power button would effectively turn the phone back on, or that the phone doesn't shutdown but rather reboots. My phone completely shuts down and requires that I take the battery out, wait 10-15 seconds, put it back in, and then hold the power button for an extended period of time in order for the phone to start up. The battery doesn't get extremely hot. It's usually around ~33-35C when it does this, but when I look at some of the other posts with similar problems, their batteries are ranging withing ~38-42C. I have seen that it may be a faulty battery, as shown in the other posts, but as I mentioned my problem is slightly different.
The second problem deals with streaming videos on browsers. Before the ICS update, I was able to stream videos on any browser, but after that OTA update I cannot. I have tried multiple browsers, including Dolphin, Firefox (my main browser), and Opera. I heard it may have to do with flash not supporting android anymore (after 4.0.x, whereas I'm only running 4.0.3), but I have checked my phone and I have Flash 11.1 already installed. The settings on my browsers are to enable plug-ins on tap (means that I would tap a video to start it, right?).
Lastly, as of now, I'm having a WiFi issue. It's not so much of an issue as a hindrance, though. Basically, I'm pretty much always in a WiFi zone, either being at home or on campus. When I get home from uni, WiFi automatically connects, no problem. When I'm at the uni, it will connect as soon as I get on campus, but when I walk from building to building, it loses connection and makes me reconnect. I go to hit reconnect, and it demands some credential password which I have never set. If I hit forget so that I can forget and reconnect to the network, it wants me to put in my screen unlock pattern. I draw the pattern to unlock it, but then it sort of refreshes and my pattern is gone and it doesn't let me continue with the process, so I have to go back to the home screen, back into settings, and clear credentials. Some posts said to continue to input incorrect passwords to allow a credential storage password reset, but that did not work. Some posts said to clear credentials, so I do that, but then I have to continuously type my login information whenever I move from class to class, which gets pretty irritating. The only way to connect to the WiFi is by disabling and reenabling the WiFi. Like I said, it's not a huge issue, rather a hindrance.
As for my phone specs, I'm not really a super tech so I haven't messed with anything. The phone is not rooted and is running Android 4.0.3. It is, however, unlocked, and I'm running it on ATT's network if that makes a difference.
Let me know if I've posted in the wrong section or anything, and if I have, I apologize. I'm not one for posting on forums, rather one to creep around and hopefully find solutions.
Thanks for your time.
Hi there.
I also want to join this topic:
1. my HTC amaze also shuts down randomly.
2. but the main thing is: can anybody help me with this WiFi issue? I can connect and use WiFi in the street, at McDonald's, at different places with public WiFi, but when it comes to connect to WiFi at my home or at other places where the WiFi is PASSWORD PROTECTED, my phone jams the network and i have to turn off WiFi on the phone and restart the WiFi router to have everything working again.
Somebody, please help
thanks in advance.
Don't know if I'm allowed to do this, but bump!

Since you are stock, the only thing being that your phone is unlocked, I would say this is either a config issue or a HW issue. The simplest thing to do is to clean the battery contacts, as there is a small chance that something got on them and is causing the battery to drop out. You can also look at the battery meter in the settings menu and see if you have a sudden drop in battery power or if it entirely cuts out. May give some clues to what's going on. Finally the only other thing I can think of is to uninstall any apps that save power or mess with the power settings on the phone.

Streaming video doesn't work for me, it will for a couple seconds and then die. So now I just open all links in the youtube app, which isn't perfect but it's good enough.

This has got to be either a config issue or a bug in how your phone handles your uni's wifi. Your uni will have multiple wifi APs with the same SSID (but on different channels) so that you can walk around and still remain connected. My guess is that there is a bug in the wifi drivers that don't like what your uni is doing, but it's really hard to say since that stuff is generally pretty complicated...
If you can't get your power issue fixed easily I would recommend you factory reset your phone. Don't install any apps for a couple days and see if your problems persist. If the power one does then take your phone in for warranty repair. The wifi one could be a bug, which would mean a warranty repair isn't going to do anything for that so you may be screwed on that one. Unless you want to hack your phone and load a new ROM; there is a slim chance that an updated ROM will not have the same bug.

Thank you very much for the in depth reply. I'll take a look at the battery connections some time tomorrow as it's pretty late today. Do you have any recommendations as what to clean them with? I heard erasers are pretty good cause they have the "stickiness" to pick up grime, but wouldn't the rubber inhibit connectability?
The video thing isn't too big of an issue, but eh, a fix would be nice. If there's nothing that's known of atm, that is fine as well.
As for the WiFi, I didn't know if it was a bug or something I could fix internally. It's good to know, though, that it's not something I seem to have messed up myself haha.
Once again, I greatly appreciate the response!

The contacts won't be corroded because they are gold, however it could be either they aren't springy (ie they got bent) or that something is stuck on them. Just take a look, make sure they look fine and that they are making a good connection. It's most likely not the issue but you just want to rule that out, as it would obviously cause problems if your battery was being disconnected
So, as an update, I managed to fix the battery issue by actually turning my phone around in my pocket (Strangely enough, I found that if I keep the screen away from the leg and the power button facing up, rather than the screen towards my leg, the phone does not turn off.). All that's left is to find a fix for the video and WiFi. The WiFi problem has actually started to become more significant, as WiFi is no longer automatically connecting to my home internet anymore. Sometimes at uni, as well, the phone requires a complete reboot before it will reconnect rather than a WiFi off -> WiFi on reset. Any more input would be greatly appreciated ^.^
I had same restart Issue
I don't know why or how it works.
Just put a piece of paper below the battery and the restart problem is solved
Flash a kernel and see maybe the modules are messed up
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Battery
I don't know why changing how the phone is situated in your pocket would solve the issue unless you were somehow unknowingly keeping the power button pressed down for long periods of time.
I will say I had the same issue and my suspicions lead me to the battery. Indeed, I bought a new battery and the issue has been resolved. There must have been some sort of short or default in the battery I was using that would cause my phone to randomly shut down or reboot..
I've noticed over the past 2 weeks or so that all of a sudden the phone sometimes doesn't bother with the lock screen. I'll double tap to wake and it'll go right to the home screen (or to whatever app I was in last). This happens with or without notifications. I thought it was something caused by Evolve because it seemed to stop once I cleared data/froze it with Titanium but it's started back up again.
Running Android M, rooted, with Xposed. However, I have not installed any new modules or done any system updates during this time. All of the phone settings look correct, and are unchanged, and there isn't a setting for 'skip the lockscreen like 30% of the time' anyway.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be an app causing this? I believe those are the only things that have been updated.
Something like Greenify?
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting would help. Thanks.
Still fighting with this. Anyone else? Removed everything I could find that wasn't being used. Wiped data for lockscreen settings. Wiped cache/dalvik. At a loss here. It's really annoying!
Only thing I can think of is that Power Key Instantly Locks is turned off.

it's on, and lock timer is set to immediately.
doesn't seem to have any relation to time. sometimes I'll pick the phone up after an hour and it'll go right in without the lock screen.

Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe someone else can be better help.
Still driving me nuts. I thought I had solved it by turning off 'battery optimizations' for anything always-on/lock screen related but that wasn't the answer. Reflashed the rom, still having the issue. Might need to reflash with a full wipe I guess.
I'd rather just move to Nougat but I can't get xposed to work properly. Life is hard haha.
in case anyone finds this thread when dealing with the same issue: Android Wear was the culprit. wakelock detector pointed me in that direction and once i uninstalled it, the problem stopped immediately and has not returned.
