Haptic Feedback vibrate issue and Go SMS pro Issue - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

2 Issues Ive seen with the evo LTE so far
My haptic feedback vibration seems to rattle the phone. Its normal on phone calls and SMS receives, but it feels loose during haptic feedback. Anyone else's liek this?
Second issue is with Go SMS Pro. I keep getting text messages where Im receiving a message from "matt" but in my go sms inbox it shows "sue" as the name. If i watch the notification bar while the message is received it is correct, but its mixing them up with the wrong contacts in the inbox. Anyone else see this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but its still doing it. I did notice if i task kill Go SMS, then restart, the messages revert to their proper names, but it starts doing it again.

i have the haptic feedback issue as well. When texting, i initially thought that sound feedback was on, but it was the vibration motor clicking for some reason.
I hope its not a big deal..gonna be annoying in class

1 - Same here, I didn't notice it yesterday but the more I use the phone the more vibration it has. It's funny that this was posted, i was just thinking if the phone is going to vibrate apart.

what about the go sms issue?

I thought I was the only one. I noticed the vibration issue too, I had this problem with my OG EVO and I tried to take it in to Sprint but it was too loud in the store for them to hear it. Anyone know how we can deal with this?

There appears to be an issue with all 3rd party SMS apps working with the ICS operating system.

i dont think its ICS, I think its HTC Sense because it worked on my Evo 4G running decks ICS just fine.

Actually, I think your right.

My vibration is also very loud had to turn it off for all notifications and all haptic feedback, now I noticed I have a have a dead pixel on the very top of my screen to, anything else wanna go wrong?

I think I'm having the vibration issue as well. Has anyone's gotten worse since first noticing the issue?

When it comes to Galaxy S2 ICS 4.0.3, the problem is that GoSMS uses vibration settings from "vibrate on screen tap"
Solution:
- System settings>Sound>Vibration intensity> and set "vibrate on screen tap" as you like.
- If intense vibration on screen tap bothers you, you can completely disable it at the bottom of the sound section (..>Sound); just uncheck "Vibrate on screen tap".

I use a Perfect Keyboard which allows you to adjust the vibration level for the keys (along with many other customizations.) As far as GoSMS, I used it for a year up until last week and switched to Chomp. I didn't have issues as you describe with Go, but whenever I would send an MMS, it would repeatedly show up as a draft that I would have to remove over and over. I also grew tired of the bloatware with Go and constantly being signed into GoChat, which would screw up my texting. Their themes are loaded with airpush as well and now they are charging for features that were once free, such as contact pictures, private box and backup. Chomp is a much cleaner experience with all the features I need, including Facebook contact pics, without the garbage of Go.

[Q] Help with GO SMS App

I've been using Go Sms on my Tbolt, since the stock sms is a bit annoying. Sometimes when I don't have signal right when I hit send, I get a notification that WILL NOT go away without restarting the phone. It says something similar to 'currently unable to send your message. will attempt to send the message when the service is available' ..it's getting very very annoying. I know it's the app because one day I got fed up and uninstalled it, and the minute I hit uninstall.. it went away. I hate it because sometimes I can't see what's going on because the notification is at the bottom of the screen. I've emailed the developer for the app and no response. I've posted questions on HTC's Facebook page, I've asked the question in Yahoo answers, and I get nothing. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm getting so fed up with it that I just don't even text anyone anymore. I really really hope someone can help me with this.
not trying to be ignorant but why is that an issue? if it is telling you your text is not being sent, wouldn't you want to know that?
There is an option to disable outgoing message notifications. Have you tried unchecking that in the settings?
Not really a solution to your problem but I use handcent and its pretty decent.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Well, the problem is...the notification will never go away, even sometimes after the message sends. I've also went and looked in the application settings to see if there's anything causing it, and there's not. My boyfriend's Incredible doesn't do it and his settings are the same. I've tried Handcent and I don't like it. Oh well. I honestly don't know what it is. We finally complained enough to Verizon about our poor signal at home, so they're sending us a Network Extender and they took $50 off the price. We'll see if that helps.

How do you Terminate Voicemail Notification?

Guys, this is really annoying me so any chance of a little help please...
Today I received a notification of new 'Voicemail'.
I didn't know the number (hate it when this happens as there is a charge every time you listen to the message).
As it happens the message wasn't for me but I was still charged to listen to it.
Anyway, if that is not enough what is annoying is the voicemail notification simply will not go away from the top bar.
Every time I reboot the phone it first starts to play out loud the voicemail notification and the only way to terminate it is to pull down the notification bar.
Thing is what's further annoying is no matter what I do I can not remove the voicemail icon and notification from the top bar.
When I click to listen to the voicemail it simply tells me I don't have any outstanding voicemail so I then hang up but the notification will not go away.
I have been to the T-Mobile web site obviously there is nothing there and on the phone I have dialled 150 Option 4, 1, 1 which is meant to stop voicemail (I think).
Help please..... It is driving me crazy.
I also want to know
It drives me crazy
I am with fido and I have a voicemail notification and it does not want to go away
I erased the phone 2-3 times, I left a message in my voicemail and then I deleted
no matter what I do the notification is there.
I tried the same with my nexus one and atrix but I dont have any notification.
It seems to be the phone itself
Just a long shot, but have you got a txt message that relates to having a voice mail, if so try deleting?

Well, in a weird sort of way I am pleased I am not the only one who is having this issue (apologies prince_72). It shows the problem is not isolated to either my phone or some form of settings.
In answer to morg01 ~ no... as a protection to my profession once I have received and actioned any text messages they are deleted. So it can not be a previous message that is the cause.
If the blessed thing has not disappeared come Monday I will speak with T-Mobile to ask if they have an answer.
However, I think they will most probably point me either to here or here but all these do is terminate voicemail, not handle notification.
I'm hoping it is something as simple as their system that is reactivating the notification despite the fact the last one I received I deleted.
We'll see.
I had this issue along with the com.android.phone crashing issue and they just switched my phone out in the shop. It might be time for a replacement?

Time for a replacement! That's a bit harsh.
In all other manner the phone works absolutely perfectly.
I have the issue too, I don't have carrier vm set up (i use g voice) but I forgot to set up voice after doing a wipe and got a vm. It asks me for a password that doesn't exist and wont let me delete the notification.
I dont think a replacement is a solution.
This is a software problem and I think the problem has to do with the software
implementation of the voicemail implementation.
If I put my Fido sim card to my Nexus one or Motorola Atrix I dont get the voicemail notification.
Also just to reply to morg01 I do get text messages along with the voicemail notification at the status bard but I delete the text messages I receive.
The problem is how to remove the voicemail notification.
I have a feeling that the Baseband implementation is wrong.
I got the phone from Europe and I dont think it supports the special features from Fido.
Just to mention that I dont have Name Display as well.
I would have to wait for the Canadian version to appear and to flash the modem
but until I wait that I will be really happy to remove that stupid ugly notification
I've been using Google Voice for the last 6 months. It's not always perfect, but you can read a transcript of your mail. And it's free and reversable.

Finally I fixed the notification problem
My carrier (FIDO) has two voicemail systems. One is for Iphone with the visual voicemail and the second is the reset of phones.
I used to have the second. It seems Galaxy S II does not really work ok with the more standard. The CSR switched me over to the visual voicemail and now everything works ok.

Nice one.... That proves it's a carrier issue.
I'm hoping to get to the bottom of my problem tomorrow.

Text's wont stop

My girlfriend's Photon will not stop receiving texts. It's been receiving the same messages over and over all day and also randomly her bottom soft keys light up for no reason. Any ideas? This happens with Go SMS installed and also with stock messaging and Go NOT installed. Also when Go was installed, notifications on the stock messaging were turned off.
I had that issue...... i would suggest to delete all apps if possible and reinstall. Or back up everything and under settings do a factory reset on it. I thought my issue was a screen capture app that did it. I had the same text come to me freakin 25 times within 4 hours i was pissed.

[SOLVED] Random Notification Sound

I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.

[Q] SMS doesn't always send ?

Ive noticed that when sending certain sms messages, the messages will keep spooling and not send unless I delete and resend it. Seems to happen at random times, even with no signal it should still send when it gets a signal right ? Using the Handcent SMS
Same thing happens to me.
I had the exact same issue. I stopped using Handcent and the issue went away. I've never had this issue on any of my last 5 android devices. Really frustrating since I have used handcent as long as I can remember.
+1 - Yep, me too! Even using GVoice + Sprint integration, too!
Also, if I restart my phone all the texts will magically send. Anyone else find this to be the case?
I also noticed that I can't get voice to text to work. I speak, select the line that reflects what I said....and then nothing. It doesn't paste it in. Any one else?

i have this same issue with handcent as well
I used to always have issues with handcent. When I had the Hero none of the MMS would send. So since then I have been using Go SMS Pro.
I am using Go Sms and I have the same issue. It seems if I am receiving a text at the same time, mine won't send and I have to delete it and start over. Also, when I send an MMS, it will create drafts of the same thing that I have to remove. My voice to text on swiftkey won't work either. I will have to try it out on stock.

I was having the same problem and what I thought was happening was the phone was closing Handcent (multitasking issue) before the text sent. I don't currently have my EVO LTE to prove that this is the case.

It's all network improvements boys and girls. If you been experiencing dropped calls, network busy tones, missed, super late, or texts being rejected; its due to nv work.

How can you be so sure? I started experiencing this the day I got this phone.
I have the same issues. Unfortunately, the only time I actually get text on time and/or send text reliably is when I use Google voice. I hate Google voices SMS setup, its ugly, and you can't send attachments. Its a shame we have this very cool phone, that can't do the basic cell phone operations. However, I do agree that this issue could very well be a Sprint signal issue and not the fault of HTC.
I'd also like to add, this is my second EVOLTE and both had this issue. Also both phones were and is having problems receiving calls. My missed calls don't even register, so once again, I have to rely on Google voice to let me know I missed a call via email, even after my phone never rang.

I can 100% guarantee you that this is not the reason for this btw....it may be in some places the reason but it is NOT the main reason this is happening...
I know for a FACT there has been 0 work on the towers in my area and seen this same thing happen...
Ok, so for me this is only an issue with third party messaging apps.
I have been using the stock app now and haven't had the issue once.
Go back to Handcent sms, boom! issues again.

I have the same issue. I had the same issue briefly a few weeks ago; however, now it's happening only on Sprint's network. If I check "Roam Only" on Meanrom I'm able to place calls, and send/receive text messages just fine. It started happening again when I used the LazyPanda s-off. I asked Sprint to do an HLR reset, and I still have the same problem. I've updated the profile 7 times now.
