Anyone use Google SMS in which you can get very quick very targeted search results to short queries by sending a text to 46645 or 466453 (GOOGL or GOOGLE)? I like this simple feature a lot and have used it for years. Now on my fancy new Tbolt I can send these messages but I never get a reply. VZW have changed their story on who is to blame and what is being done. Even thought it very well might be their fault I've given up arguing with the bureaucrats over there... I've also seem some posts on this directly on Google Mobile forums but no resolutions.
I have never. But you have one of the most advanced smart phones. Just hit the Search button and say what you want to know like "Tastee Sub Location" and it will google it for you.
This is something that has been bothering me for quite a while and couldn't seem to find anything in the Play Store.
When the whole Facebook/Google API contact sync issue wasn't being worked out, many developers came up with solutions to the issue and released them in the Play Store. Yet when Twitter contact sync stopped working and was removed from newer versions, no developers tried to fix this themselves.
So here is my question: Are there any apps out there that does what I'm asking? If not, is there anything being worked on to fix this? Thanks!

I actually have a proof-of concept version based on the HaxSync codebase lying around here. Unfortunately, Twitter has harsh API limits that make contact sync pretty difficult. Their API rules are also much stricter than those of FB and I'm not a lawyer, so I haven't really bothered finding out if I'm even allowed to make HaxSync-Twitter.
I sometimes get a notification which tells me about various applications that can be downloaded, I find these notifications extremely annoying, not only because I hate advertisements and put a lot of effort into stopping then on my desktop PC which I am very experienced with, but on the HTC one, when I get one of these notifications it uses the default notification sound, which makes me think I have a text message (sometimes at ridiculous times of the day) but instead it's telling me about star cam or some other crappy app. In this respect the advertisements are worse than on my desktop PC, as I never turn the mobile off in case I am being contacted, so the possibility of getting these annoying notifications is 24/7.
I don't know why, but I never had this problem on my htc desire HD, or the tytn 1 and tytn 2, only my htc one.
I need to stop these advertisments! I have tried going into "App info" for google play store to disable "show notification" but I don't seem to be able to find it except for "notify me about updates to apps i've downloaded" now this doesn't seem like it, because that only counts for apps I already have and only for updates. My problem is for notifications about apps I never had, also the app updates notification never seems to make a sound (Which is good) but this other notification uses the default notification sound as I stated before.
I have come across various apps that supposedly stop ads, but I don't want to get my phones resources bogged down with apps that may or may not do what I want and might not even work anyway, but I need some help please!
Do a simple Google search. This has been talked about plenty.

sigh.. always someone suggests google. By that statement this website could not exist at all, everything could be googled, the whole point of a forum is a more comprehensive and interactive 'forum' with which to ask questions and get detailed answers.
as I said.. I already know about adaway and other apps which stop ads. I have already done a "simple search"
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=android+play+store+app+advertisements&spell=1+
first page 10/10 all results come back with different apps you can download. None of them specify this particular problem and may or may not be generic ad removers.
Clue: description of number 1 app result :
The Google AdSense app provides an easy way to access key data from your AdSense and AdMob account. Access reporting features anywhere, directly from your mobile phone. The first version of the app gives you access to: the key earnings information (that are now also accessible via widget), top custom and URL channels, ad units and sites reports, payment alerts.
Please note: YouTube revenue and revenue from the legacy AdMob are not available in this app.

Wrong.
This is a development forum, not a help desk. Take the Google search course, it will help you immensely.
Also, you posted in the wrong section. Questions go in Q&A and not here.

Irrelevant.. a forum is for discussion was my point, that's still correct, no matter what technicalities, of exactly what sub forum you're supposed to post in.
Forum is for discussion still remains fact
Period.

But it is expected that you do your own research before posting. Period. And research would have yielded results. That's a fact.

It was already clearly established in one of my posts that I did in fact do research, that's also a fact, please refer to the above post. Before coming here I already checked the first 10-20 links which were all apps.
Obviously research yields results eventually, which is why I already tried that first and posting here is an extension of that and also another method of "research" which by the way is always my last resort, not because I don't like forums, because I do, but I always do my best to avoid the obnoxious and repetitive "google it" responses you get, even when it's obviously not valid... and that's a fact too.
I think that these aren't Google ads... This happened to me before after installing a app. I don't remember what app it was but the app was sending me ads for crappy ads... Check the apps you installed since you started getting these notifications

From my One while peeking in your window
I've been searching the web for a couple of days, without finding any real solution to the problem. From September 2011, Google Maps decided to lump together its volume control with media apps, that used to be separated. I found a huge thread on googleproducts forums, titled "Why is the Google Navigator Volume No Longer Separate - But Now Linked with Media Volume?" where I see that things have never changed, nor Google acknowledged this being a problem.
Now, at the beginning I was confident that a simple solution existed for a rooted phone (Note 3 9005 for me) but, alas, I can't seem to find anything. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
PS
Not able to link the discussion mentioned above, too few messages for me, still.
I suppose there could be two ways to handle this. One would be to have a "per app" volume setting, through some clever Xposed module. The other a "simpler" (don't have a clue) hack on Google Maps itself. I just find strange that there's so little "literature" around, regarding this, as it's a really annoying problem, once it manifests itself in the car.

Hello.
I am not satisfied how notifications on my RN 9 Pro are (not) working.
I am often forced to mute phone, and I am not able to look constantly on my phone screen.
On other devices I used nice app called NoLED. I am attaching screenshot from my other device, so you can get the idea why.
Sadly, it is not working with Android 10. Developement is abandoned long time ago.
Is there any app with such functionality which works with Android 10?
[edit]
Partially solved. Call and messages are working. Added apps (messenger, viber, whatsapp) are not working.

Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.

Why do you need to post this same thing all over the place in different threads?

Yeah, sorry... but the same Q has appeared in about half a dozen separate threads without solution...which means ppl aren't searching for answers...so I had to answer individually.
