Hi there
Have just noticed that lights on bottom of Hero don't light up!
Is this right?
Only just noticed this as its the first time i have had the phone in the dark!
Mine is a Hero G2 on T-Mobile(UK).
Is there a setting to get em back working?
All i have done to phone is load various apps/games via android market and changed home screen via beautiful widget etc.
Anyone know what to do?
Many thanks for all help given....
Apperently i cant post links, so i will try to send you a link in PM instead.
Otherwise, search google for htc hero backlight buttons
it seems that you are not the onlyone with this problem, seems like a replece or service is the only way.

I am sure your Hero runs the 1.76* build... it had that kind of bug you mentioned... and alot of other nasties too... for example the headphone jack problem... and LEDs not lighting up... not to mention the lag...
Menu > Settings > About phone and scroll down until you see "Build number"...

Hi, did you find fix for your Hero Mobile?
I have been looking at the Notification Vibration in a number of Apps and don't seem to be having any luck.
As an example on my Galaxy Tab I have sound ON and in the Twidroyd App I have it set to Vibrate on Alerts which it plays both a Notification sound AND vibrates strongly.
However, on the SGS II with the same settings in Twidroyd it will only play the sound but will not vibrate.
Note: Both phones main settings/sound settings/ vibrate is set to Always.
Has anyone else experienced no notification vibration?
EDITED:
Sorted ~ See Post 16.
It was the App Volume Ace which had turned off Vibration Notifications.
I have the same kind of problem.
Incoming calls, the phone sounds but no vibration. In settings, vibration is set to "Always".
Any idea please ?!?
Thanks
Well I am pleased someone finally decided to add a comment here, even if it were only to agree.
I find it difficult to accept that everyone is happy their SGS2 has no vibration notification.
Come on members... voice your thoughts.
Only with your input can we then investigate further.
Hey, I found something interesting that brings the vibration to my incoming calls. Maybe it's gonna help you.
1. in Settings/Sound make sure you set "Always" to Vibration
2. Put a cross to Haptic feedback then set your intensity
3. Desactivate Haptic feedback
I tried to call my SGS2 and the vibration came with the ringtone.
Last step, I re-activated the Haptic feedback and vibration is still working with the ringtone.
PS : hope you understood my english...

What ROM version are you using?
Haven't tried this yet but if it does work well done but obviously there is an error on the phone in that it should work by default yet takes this weird method to activate it.
Now what about other vibration alerts..... any takers?
I'm using the latest XWKE7 with a root SGS2
The others vibration alerts seems to work good.

Interesting...... So this may be an issue with stock roms.
I have decided to wait until Gingerbread 2.3.4 before updating as apart from the dreaded no vibration notifications everything else seems great.
I'd like to hear from any other members please.... if only to say their vibration notifications work/don't work and what rom they are on... Thanks.
Mine rings and vibrates on incoming call. Vibrate is set to always and I've not noticed any issues.
Maybe its the ringtone that you're using?
Notifications seem fine too e.g. on whatsapp.
Oh and I'm on stock.

What about other notifications.
I.e. on my Tab whenever I receive a tweet I hear the notification and it vibrates.
The SGS2 only plays the audio notification.
Yeh other notifications from apps where I've set to vibrate seem fine.
I actually downloaded Twydroid to test it out - set notifications for tweets, mentions and DMs and set to vibrate but all I got was the sound. Weird.

I'm pleased you chose Twydroid as that is the twitter App I use.
You say other Apps though work.
Can you tell me of one so that I can instal and try it out to see if I can get the vibration to work.

I have the XDA App installed and that doesn't play vibration alerts.
Re Facebbok it won't let me sign in so will have to try that again.
However what concerns me is you say XDA works for you yet fire me nothing.... no vibration.
Need to look more into XDA when I get out of theatre.
Just about to go in for a short surgery.
Catch you later have to prep.
Thanks.
Sorted....... and it was unbelievably simple (and stupid of me not to notice).
The 'culprit' (although I share blame in not noticing) was the App 'Volume Ace' which I had already installed some time ago.
Last night after theatre I checked thoroughly all the Apps that should be sending a vibration notification and there was nothing untoward that showed any sign the Apps would hit a problem with a vibration alert.
Next step was to look again at my settings..... nothing wrong there.
Finally I then started to methodically go through each App which had some form of control to Sound.
It was not long before I found when you brought up the window of Volume Ace there was something I had previously missed.
Take a look at the first screen picture in the link I have highlighted above and if you look 'ever so' closely at the second volume control, to the right is a 'vibration' icon.
This icon was not lit up. So I tapped on the icon, this changed it's appearance to bright orange and closed the window down.
As I receive tweets every couple of minutes or so it was not long before Twydroid sent me an audio notification AND yes.... a vibration one as well.
So, all sorted.
Thank you to all those who have participated. I now am going to find a quiet room to hide my face of shame.
Ha no worries, glad you got it sorted and hope all went ok with your op, cheers

Yes, it's now performing just as it should and I still can not believe how simple it were in the end. Very unusual for me to miss something like this.
It would be easy for me to put it down to the 22 operations I have performed this past week and say they have kept me busy but that would only be an excuse.
Not to be picky, but looking at the thread title looks like it was the app (Volume Ace) misbehavior.
You can change the same setting in the stock/built in settings, the app will just reflect that change.
Hey folks, question. Now it's driving me nuts how the notification and ringer volumes are connected now in ICS where as before we had the option to unlink them. I get emails all through the night but I can't turn my notifications down at night because it turns down the ringer, can't have that.
Anyone know of a way to break the link or am I just going to have to deal with it?
This seems to be a common issue with the ICS leaks. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the ROM developers have split them yet.
Very interesting.... I'll dig into it and see if we can't come up with a solution...

I've tried 4 different apps to solve this prob and none work right. I use sound manager to turn off notifications at night but leave ringer on, but i can't get it working with those apps.
Hopefully its an easy fix to unpair them.

Sounds good!!! Please keep us posted if you do find something, it's really driving me nuts. I don't know who's bright idea it was to remove the option to split them, dumbest thing I've seen in a while.
I just turn off the 3g/wifi before I go to bed. No emails come in, but texts and calls will still come in. Been doing that ever since I moved to Android.

I've been using Audio Manager app to control my volumes, you can set schedules when volume levels are to be changed, I never had to do anything manually. I have enough stuff going on everyday don't need another thing to remember to do before passing out, lol. Good idea though, if it gets too bad I may have to give that a go.
Bought ICS Enhanced Ringer control from the market - $2.99.
It duz separate the ringer/notification link however it must be manually enabled/disabled.
I'm hoping the dev adds a scheduler, or a widget to make it easier to enable.
Either way, it works and solves the problem.
Hi there,
I just want to share that for ICS there is a tool on the market which can disable notifications at night, while still the ringer is "enabled", not muted.
Problem with ICS is that notification volume is directly linked to ringer volume. When you manually disable notifications, you will never hear your phone ring....which can be bad.
So:
In case I don't want to hear notifications at night, but incoming calls will ring as normal I use the following tool (free from market) :
"ICS notification silencer free"
With the free edition you can only define 'one' profile, with a start and end time when to disable notifications (example:sleeping time).
With the paid version you can define more profiles, depending on day etc.
I liked the free edition already as it has enough features just to disable notification when I am asleep.
Hope you enjoy this tool, and sleep well on ICS

Another solution
Ive been dealing with this since ICS first came out, and its been driving me nuts.
I need no text notifications at night, but the phone needs to ring if someone calls.
I tried ICS ringtone control and ICS Silencer. ICS ringtone didnt have a scheduler so I had to set it manually every night.
For the last week Ive tried Profile Scheduler and its worked perfectly. I assume other profile apps would work too, so
check them out.
Heres what I did. Create/download a silent ringtone mp3 - I named mine "Silence - 30sec". I then went under the
"Night" profile and made the notification sound that ringtone, and left all the volumes the way they are. I then created
a rule activating that profile from 10p-7a. I then changed 'conditions not met' to the normal profile, to change it back to
normal when its done. Under the normal profile, I made my ringtone my original one.
Good luck, and until ICS unlinks the sliders, this has worked best for me.

I have flashed 5 different ROMs, and the only one (HTC Evo4G LTE) that separates them is CM10.
I ran it for a bit, but switched back to ViperRom, and use Phone Schedule app to simply change the ringtone
for my notification sounds, at whatever time I need.
I have a silent ringtone, and use it for notification sounds between 9p and 7a, and then it automatically
switches back to a audible music ringtone.
Hope this helps.

I think the linking of the two was a step backwards for 4.0. Hopefully this will be undone in future versions

I think they did it so when you turned the ringer volume up or down, the notification volume would go up our down accordingly, which is desirable behavior. But it is annoying if you need them to be controlled separately.

Powerful friends. You are my idol. If you have time, can you help port MIUI on stock? Hah. I will try this colorful ROM ASAP.
works great and multilenguage on spanish works fine some apps in jap
Most functions are ready and stable.
Except that bugs in CM4.2.2, such as the loudly call volume, as it is in MIUIV5 on CM4.2.2.
Is that possible port color OS based on CM10(4.1.2). As I known, current I717 only has CM10 for stable usage although
it has random reboot.
One more, can the soft virtual key can be truned off? As I717 already has real touch key and the virtual key occupies
the screen and no much usage.
I don't see color OS has more apps and functions than MIUI, but it occupies 400M, why?
As I see, it is another style ROM, but not powerful as MIUI it is.
I check that the color OS is already in V2.0.0 (published on 2014.4.4), but current for I717 is V1.0.0.
I had a bit of trouble getting through the "welcome" screen due to the language but after using it for a day the rom feels pretty stable. I have had one problem though. I'm unable to listen to my headphones through the 3.5mm jack. I get a bit of static feedback through the headphones when I plug them in but the music doesn't play through them. Tried the stock music app and Play Music and no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Also an option to hide the visual buttons at the bottom would be nice since they take up screen space. Themes work pretty well and look great also.
Overall, I like the animations and my phone runs pretty smooth. Just those little things I noticed.

I didn't check the headphone on 3.5mm jack. Just have a fresh try on this ROM and then switch back to MIUIV5 quickly.
Did you notice the call volume issue? The volume is loudly and you need to press speaker for once back then it back to normal. But it will reproduce again in next call.

Yes I was able to test it out and the first time I called it was pretty loud. I turned the call volume down during the dial tone and the recipient didn't hear an echo anymore through the ear speaker. I hung up and called back. They always hear an echo on the speakerphone but not on the in-ear speaker. I rebooted my phone and tried again and they didn't hear an echo. As long as my call volume is 50% or below they don't hear their voice echoing. I only called one person though so it could be different for another. This was after about 20 minutes of testing.
Rooted by installing flashable supersu binary update. Worked. Installed an incompatible xposed module and it crashed launcher. Love the music place and photo place on launcher screens.(launcher in general was sweet) Would like to get rid of nav bar and receive english interface for color os specific settings. (Example: accounts ask for phone #, name etc in english but agreements and descriptions are in another language making them useless if not deceiving.
Edit: Capacitive keys stayed on as well.

Here's to the beginning:http://en.miui.com/thread-18061-1-1.html
Played around with this again. Showed it off to some co-workers. Didn't kill it with xposed this time. Lol. The following sign in tip helped immensely.
"After the Google sign in screen, ignore the green and blue buttons and press the smaller white characters below. Then uncheck the box on the next screen and hit the big green button."
Just the fore mentioned issues with the earphone plug not issuing sound (sound continues to output through and speaker) and lit capacitive keys bother me.

So, my LG G3 updated yesterday from kitkat (12b) to Lollipop 5.0 (23c).
I have to say, I am on the fence about it being an upgrade. Here is my thoughts: 2 major annoyances and 1 feature I love.
First, "Quite mode" is GONE! It has been replaced with a less functional, yet more confusing and complicated feature called "Interruptions". LG's Quite mode worked perfectly and did everything I wanted it to and was super easy to setup. Google's Interruptions thing is just plain horrible. First, I discovered that I can't set certain contacts to be allowed to ring though, only options are to allow "Priority only" which the Contacts options only gives u "Anyone" (everyone), "Favorites" (those who u add to your favorite list) or " Contacts Only" (all contacts). So, I had to use my "Favorites" list as my "allow" list. Ok...fine. BUT then, I discovered last night, that Interruptions does NOT silence system sounds like charging sounds or the LED notification light. I set my phone on the charger when I went to bed, and it made its chime and the LED stayed on. I was woken up a few hours later when the phone chimed again for Charge Complete and the LED was bright green. LG's Quite mode allowed these features to be silenced. I also dislike how the volume bar pop-up now has tabs added to it to adjust enable/adjust Interruptions...clutter and can easily be accidentally pressed. (SoundHud app helps with this) I have read that this Interruptions is a Lollipop thing(baked into the OS) and is meant to replace any custom manufacture add-on Quite Mode or Blocking Mode(Samsung). I found many folks complaining about this in other forums. I was able to address this annoyance by finding a 3rd party app (Do Not Disturb by Cabooze Software) but I am greatly annoyed that I have to now use a separate app to do something that one once a built in feature of my device.
Second, I am not a fan of how notifications work now. That is that the notification bar and lock screen notifications are one in the same. You can't have one with out the other. I want my weather app to have its notification in the drop down bar, and keep its little temperature figure notification in the upper left of my notification bar.... NOT the entire notification cluttering up my lock screen. I set the option to not show notifications on the lock screen, and it removes the notification bar notifications for that app too...wtf? I can set something about Private or sensitive notifications are hidden, but that only changes the notification to say its private and to unlock to view...doesn't actually hide anything. The new way of dismissing notifications is nice, but if I recall, I could swipe away certain notifications like call or txt on the lock screen before (LG thing maybe). I suppose I can adapt to and get used to the new way notifications works....but does the clock have to be so tiny even when only one notification is up? Seriously, the text is too small.
They still haven't "fixed" the LG keyboard so that u can adjust height of the keyboard when the phone is rotated to landscape mode....still only adjustable when in portrait mode.
On the good side....I LOVE the "Smart Unlock" feature. Only thing I recall having this kinda feature is if you had a Android Wear device. I love how u can have a Bluetooth (or NFC) device paired and it will set the lock screen to swipe....and not have to use knock or password code. I have this set for when my headset is paired and also my Pebble Steel watch. Very convenient feature to have. (I don't get NFC option though....what?! Do I need to get an NC chip implanted in the palm of my hand, so that when I hold the phone, I can use this feature to bypass the lock code...LOL!)
As far as other things go...the phone does feel more responsive. The new animations are quite welcome. I can't really say anything about battery life at this point. I got excellent battery life on KitKat.
I have read some discouraging things about the Lollipop update for the G3. Many forums filled with complaints about it...not just for VZW. A few of my co-workers who have a G3(various carriers) each one of them has issues and/or complaints about the update and discouraged me from updating. I also was quite confused as I was seeing VZW G3's for sale online starting over a month or so ago(swappa, ebay etc) that already came with Lollipop 5.0 and they claimed it was the official release. I was indeed suspicious of these phones that they were installed with a leaked OTA, but 23b as far as many insisted was the official OTA, but I(and several others I know in various states) never got 23b. I went from 12b to 23c. I checked the OTA option on the phone and the Update software on my computer frequently enough, never gave me any other update. Maybe VZW waited to push out the OTA in my area(Twin Cities, MN)...and thus we got the latest version.
Anyway, I guess its a love/hate relationship with my phone at the moment. :silly:

Excellent! Just installed it. SoundHud is perfect to address the annoying larger volume sliders default to Lollipop. (its not a Quite Mode or D.N.D. app) Thanks for the recommendation.
Still, yet another 3rd party app I have to install and having running to "fix" things that Google changed....hope it doesn't affect battery life at all.
Both apps arn't free though....hate that.
That's what I use all of my Google Opinion Rewards money on, apps I don't want to buy.
LOL
BTW, I haven't played with it on Lollipop yet but the description on SoundHud says...
Description
SoundHUD is a highly customizable volume panel replacement that doesn't require root access. And maybe best of all: It comes with a true silent mode for Lollipop users!
What's in the box:
• Multiple styles - choose between an expandable volume panel, a statusbar volume panel, or just a thin line that stays out of your way
• Lollipop silent mode - tired of the lack of a true silent mode for Lollipop? Yeah, so are we!
• Long press actions - launch any app simply by long-pressing one of the volume buttons
• No root required - leave the drill at home: no root, no Xposed - keep that sweet, sweet warranty!
• Volume stream lock - got a media tablet? Turn on volume stream lock to always adjust the music volume instead of having to deal with a useless ringer volume
• ...and much more!
Like Lollipop's design and simplicity? It sure is swell, but it seems the stock volume panel didn't get the memo - if you've tried getting Lollipop to shush while still getting woken up in the morning, I'm pretty sure you were on the verge of feeding your phone to Rusty (pro-tip: plastic doesn't make a very good dog treat!). Enter SoundHUD, which comes with a true silent mode for Lollipop, an expandable volume panel with separate, draggable volume sliders for every volume stream (ringer, music, notifications, alarms, in-call volume), and much more!
Silent mode HOW-TO
1. Go to System settings -> Sound & notification -> Interruptions
2. Turn OFF all priority interruption switches
3. Get up, do a little dance, and enjoy the silence! No more calls, notifications, reminders - just alarms!

Let us know how it works out.

BTW, I haven't played with it on Lollipop yet but the description on SoundHud says...

Works fine for me. But I did not got to settings and adjust Interruptions settings as they said to. That would interfere with the Do Not Disturb app I have....I do want some things to be let through.
Honestly, I don't care nor have ever used a pure Silent mode during the day.
Only time I want everything (except alarms and certain contacts- mainly my work contacts) "Silent" is at night set to a schedule(10p - 9a).
Downgrade? I feel the exact opposite. I think it's a huge upgrade and I love the way LP runs. Both stock/AOSP based roms are awesome. I hope you get the issues worked out so you can enjoy it.
12b is rootable, so is 23x (a,b,c). Can be done in situ, no need to downgrade, root, and then upgrade.

Phone not rooted. Not sure if it can be. I know that 12b was not rootable. I have no intentions of rooting requadless.
Either way, Do Not Disturb app works fine.

Welcome to Lollipop, Google is your friend.
Oh and by the way, alarm clock won't sound if you set to "No Interruptions" even if you set it as a priority notification.

When I was using Interruptions, the alarm did sound fine. First thing I tested.

I was told (and read) multiple times, even by a dev that 12b is not rootable..directly. HAd to downgrade or something.

A new root method was discovered a week or two ago that works with pretty much every current LG device regardless of firmware version or carrier. It's not Stumproot, that was patched after 10 b, yes.
This new root method seems to involve zeroing out the laf partition, causing the boot process to fall through to fastboot, or something like that. I did not understand It, no, but theroadwarrior here and others seemed to. Works on the G2 also, if I can get hers away from My Lady Susan !

I don't care for 5.0 as much either. I'm heading back to my 10B backup where everything works. Also, I missed Xposed in just a few days. When Xposed can run on Stock 5.0 I'll give it another go.

5.X really has been one of the worst android releases. Google tries to keep shining that turd

Bluetooth issues
Another thing to report. My co-worker reported issues with his car stereo and the G3 after he updated to 5.0. U pair the phone to the stereo and it will play music or sound from any app fine for about 2 min, then it goes all frizzy. Only way to restore proper sound is to toggle bluetooth on and off and re-connect. Tried with a few different apps. I paired my phone (we have the same phone and OS version) and I can confirm the same issue. My phone was rest recently before the 5.0 update. He also reports that he tried a few other phones(not sure models or OS version) but the worked fine with his car.
Weird, thinking it must be something with his car stereo, as both of us have paired our phones to several other Bluetooth sound devices and have had no issues.
Underwhelmed in general
Just like with Apple products, the more hoopla about a release, the less I should expect. Android 5.0 on the G3 is no exception:
Despite the changes in "Notifications", there doesn't appear to be a way (as with v4.4.2) to just have Notification icons appear on the lock screen, without any content.
Despite the change, the recent apps list is a mess, with multiple pages per app for some apps.
What was wrong with the "home" icon??? It looked like a home. Do a lot of people live in a hole rather than conventional house? If they do, how do they have enough money to buy a phone? I have no objection to the new icons per se; it just seems like so much of the rest of the commercial software world, making changes for changes sake. Or perhaps Google assigns meaningless GUI changes to test new software developers ...
Then, for the crowning achievement, lets take more screen space with the new "floating buttons", which block content, and for which there is ample space for the button in the top bar of the app.
I had hoped for LG to fix the sharing of the "recent apps" button (primary function) with the (app-specific) "settings" function, but no; let's keep that UI not only different from most other Android devices, but even different from the LG G Pad 8.3. The latter has the "recent apps" functionality as a secondary function of the "home" button, a much more consistent idea.
Finally, does anyone at LG or Verizon, beta test the GUI? It is my imagination, or in the "Sound & notification" section of "Settings", there is a line titled "Interruptions". Under that, mine always says, "Have no interruptions from notifications" as the current setting, despite the fact that is NOT the current setting.
At least they fixed the QSlide version of the text message app: you can now get to the contacts list from within it. I don't think you could do that before.
Ah well, that's progress, I suppose.
Just my opinion....I like the new lollipop. I've not had any issues as of yet. VZW LG G3... OTA'd to 23C.... Manually flashed 12C aboot and 23C bump'd kernel...then flashified TWRP. No reboots...great battery. Now the thing I most dislike is that there's no silent mode.. I really miss that. Seems the interruptions thing is just more complicated. Other than that...I'm happy.
