I have never been able to get my phone to vibrate for sms and notifications, not even with third party apps, and yes I do have set vibrate to always in settings. Is there any way of getting them to work in Stock roms?
(They do work in CM-based roms)
Oddly enough, I have the exact opposite issue. Would like to know though! Haha

This is a major annoyance to me, but my Call Logs show incoming/outgoing texts as well. How do I have it only show my calls instead? I know this was done via ROM on the Captivate.
Also, is there anything in the works to get BLN working? I'm not sure why Samsung doesn't enable the bottom buttons for notifications from the start.
Thanks!

Samsung doesn't on any device.
As to anything "in the works" - we barely have custom kernels working. I still need to integrate codeworkx's initramfs fixes into my repo. Also, while I haven't had too much time to look in detail, on first inspection it looked like our touchkey hardware for the bottom buttons is identical to the Infuse. If that is the case, don't expect BLN any time soon. Developers far more capable than myself tried and were never able to get it working without causing random kernel panics.
Gotcha! I wasn't sure what all was involved. Thanks for the response. Any idea on the call log issue?

it's not an issue, it's what Samsung does. Some modders pull out text messages in that log on some custom roms, but on a stock rom, I don't think you can turn off the text messages from showing up in that list. it annoys me too, but the only way I can get rid of it is flash a rom where the dev removed it.
We have the options to list dialed calls only and a few other selections. The problem is, it won't stay when you go way from it.
Has anyone been having an issue with there ringtones/notifications/alarm sound settings changing?
It seems 2-3x a day my ringtone, notification tone, and alarm sounds go back to some sort of default setting.

I have had similar problems and for me it was because the ring tones i was using were on the sdcard and if I got a cal or text while using the sdcard in disk mode it would go to the default ringtone I solved this by copy the ringtone,alarms and notifications that I use to the phone
mines doing it without using the SDCARD as a disk but that makes some sense, I guess ill put them on the internal memory...
stupid problem to have it seems though? ha
I have same problem, my rings was changed sometimes itself. I have all rings on SDCARD, because I have STOCK rom, so I can't write on internal storage. Rings was changed especialy after reboot, but sometimes it was changed during running device. I tried to restore device to factory setting and load all my apps back, and problem is still there. Any advise? Sorry about my english
That's weird, my buddy at work and I have been having the same problem only recently. Maybe the last two weeks. I'm rooted but haven't changed anything for close to a month. My buddy isn't rooted and he has only updated the visual voicemail app.
Comcastrated
Random ringtones stink at work
My wife has stock stock stock. She has this issue.
I have rooted stock. I have this issue.
We both use Go Launcher. All sounds are on the SDcard but neither of us goes into drive mode much at all, if ever.
We have many audio files on our phones. Maybe the system is running into a max limit of files?
Also, sounds change on Go SMS, gmail, and G+, as well as phone defaults.
I was in a meeting at work and it switched randomly to the iphone default ring (didn't even remember I had it on there). I let it ring because couldn't be me...I don't have an iphone! Yeah, it was me. I was the jerk with the ringing phone.
This has happened only within the past month or so. We have had our E3ds for a year or so.
I will never again buy anything with Sense or without very solid, and very open kernels. This phone screws up really simple things. Multitouch stops working sometimes, the phone reboots at random sometimes, and now the ringer switches at random? Man, a Nexus sounds nice right now.
Hi.
I was using my Atrix with CM7 MROM for long time.
Yesterday I switched to CM9 Olympus with new kernel by krystianp. It's great rom but...
I got two little problems:
1. when I plug my headset I don't have icon informing about this.
2. when headset is plugged it auto pick up calls. I found something like this "phone>menu key>call settings>Accessory settings for call" but I don't have this options in my dialer or anywhere else.
Can anyone help me with this? Icon is just a feature I liked but auto answering calls is a little disturbing for me. Especially when I don't know who is/was calling.
It is pretty clear you don't know what you're doing, or else you wouldn't flash an experimental ROM and then complain about a bunch of already very well known issues.
I suggest in the future you stick to GB ROMs and stay away from things you don't understand.

I thought auto answer was normal function which is working and I didn't find anything about problems with it. So if it can be turn on should also be able too turn off...
I know that new kernel and roms are in development and that they have some bugs (proximity sensor, screen tearing, problem with some games) but one app which I needed runs only on 4+ Android.
So could answer me it is possible to turn off auto answering calls or it is bug which I miss reading threads about kernel/cm9/cm10?
Hello!
I recently switched to the m4 from my trusty LG OG, an it is perfect except for one thing... it doesn't ring.
I have tried all Sony-solutions, including PC software repair, etc... but no joy. My wife also has an M4 and has the same problem.
It is worked-around by using a 3rd party lockscreen (I use Hi-Locker), which is awesome.. but not ideal due to security problems, most notably Android Pay.
My question?
Can I replace the lockscreen at the ROM level? Can I replace the basic function with maybe a lockscreen from the Z5?
Unless someone knows how to fix this
I have never compiled my own rom, but I have a reasonable level of tech-savvy. I can flash ROMS and do work in Linux.
I have rooted and unlocked my bootloader, and I am using Stock Sony ROM
I have the latest firmware
Kernel 3.10.49
build 26.1.A.2.99
I have NOT tried using an old firmware- or an alternate ROM. I probably will, but my wife doesn't love the idea for her. Thus, I would like to work out a precision fix.
My thoughts?
Idea 1. find where the stock lockscreen/security module lives.. and try and replace with something from a different phone.
Possible?
Thank you for reading.. I know some other people have these problems, as I read them in threads here.. but I didn't find much in the way of fixing.
just for reference- THIS is the problem.

My phone doesn't ring when it 's locked. If phone is unlocked ringtone rings and vibrates. When it's locked no sound or vibrate. Whatsapp messages vibrate but they have no notification sound. I have checked all the settings, volume is up. Last resort is factory reset but i'm not there yet. I don't wanna lose all my settings.
E: Okay I used Sony PC Companion and used the Fix phone/tablet -thing and it downloaded the firmware and installed it so I think it reset my phone. Still my phone doesn't ring if its locked. If I press the power button when someone is calling to me, I can see the lockscreen notification on the screen but it doesn't ring or vibrate. FFS. Any ideas guys?
E2: I guess I find a solutions. Or a temporary solution. I noticed that if I disabled the screen lock, my phone would ring and vibrate normally. So I decided to try and download "Next" lockscreen app. Guess what. When I use it, my phone works perfectly. I don't know why it stopped ringing because there wasn't any new updates from Sony but it's clearly problem in Sony's software.

I still have the "silent phone" issue with this update. I have to use third party lock screen app. If I use Sony's lock pattern or pin code and use my gf's phone to call my phone: screen doesn't wake, no ringtone can be heard and no vibration. When I press power-button I can see that someone's trying to call me. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I hope you understand what I tried to say, the issue is kinda hard to explain.

Yeah this is a huge problem and we're not the only ones suffering from it. Now I use CM Locker because Next drained my battery. I also noticed that my phone works fine if I boot on safe-mode. Still haven't figured it out which app causes the problem. Gotta wait for the 6.0 update and hope that fixes things.
Same issue with out-of-the box...
Well, have M4 'out of the box' - meaning - no custom software installed, no customized ROM, no custom lock-screen... and well - to make the ring work back I have to restart phone every few days (as soon as realize that it's not working) - oh Sony, what should I say ....
Is there any way to prevent the dialer taking up the whole screen. It is very annoying when I'm playing a game or doing something on my phone and do not want to answer right away. Thanks in advance!
Its problem on Stock rom, try Custom roms.
@jbanti Thx. I always use a custom rom when there is enough development since I lack the capability to do so myself. Anyways I'm using a rom with heads up calls at the moment. Hoped that there would be some universal method to disable full screen calls.
