Today, for the very first time, I got this strange alert on my phone. It even sounded differently when that came in. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or is there any setting on this ROM that allows these alerts to come in.

This is normal. It's part of the FCC's program. It'll send that to all phones on any carrier.

You can turn it off if you want. It's under the messaging settings.

Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

Try the accessibility menu in settings.
What am I looming for?
Says no accesibility apps.

possibly a setting under 'voice input & output / text-to-speech settings'
I looked there. Don't really see any options. Is there a way to.turn it off completely?
It just turned on at random. Thinking bout putting it in some other language so no one understands it.
Holding off on factory reset. Until nexus comes out.

There's an app for that!
Did you install it?
This has got to be the most incriminating bug ever! If my texts got read aloud every time I got them, I would not be alive to post this here today... lol
I think you have some shady friend who downloaded an app on your phone to make this happen.

Defintiely did not install any app or let anyone install anything on my phone.
Again, it happened while I was playing robo defense, I received a text and it read it out loud while i was playing. It then started to read them no matter what.
Just did a factory reset. Hopefully that fixed it.

I was going to say, uninstall handcent. There is probably a feature in it that does that

I deleted handcent thinking that was the problem but it continued on stock messaging app. So I dunno.

lmao... I can imagine the messages from my drunk friends being read out loud!!! Hahahaha... Hell, texts from my sober friends would be bad enough.
Glad you got it fixed, but also glad you posted this thread. It really made me laugh.
Same here!
I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.
I hope you weren't sexting.
I had an app on iOS that whenever a call came in, it didn't take up the whole screen. It only showed up on top, similar to the iOS 5 notifications. There are times I don't feel like answering a call when using my phone and I don't want to reject it because then they would know. Is there an app that can stop incoming calls from using the whole screen on android?

YES!!!!! It's fairly new, but has been getting a lot of good reviews lately. Small Call PRO for Android. Essentially CallBar, but for Android and you don't have to jailbreak.
I'm trying to find a locking app similar to the lock on my iPad, when the phone is rebooted or sleep for more the 2 hours the iPad requires a code to unlock. But during normal use it's just normal unlocking. Anybody know of a Android app that would be similar?
Thought my note slipped out my pocket the.other afternoon while working on my truck and didn't realize I didn't have it till later that night, the last time I used it was outside my apartments with my truck and I automatically thought it fell and somebody found it and took it. Tried to call it but it just kept going straight to voicemail so that definitely made me think it was stolen since my.phone wasn't off before. But I.found it later under the seat in my truck haha. I want a.locking app so if it does get taken and the person turns it off and tried to turn it back on then it will ask for a code and lock them out

I don't know if it supports 2 hours as an interval, but the stock rom does this. Home, menu, settings, security, I think. Somewhere in there is the option to set the time after which your PIN will be requested.

I wish we have something like HTC sense provides. Locate phone and if stolen you can delete contents of the phone from the HTC sense website.

A while back I lost my streak and I'd call it and it ring and go to voice mail except once someone rejected the same call and I knew someone had it. Lookout has an app that's called plan b that you can install remotely and will activate your gps so you can find it. Long story short I retrieved my streak and the guy who took it and wouldn't return it ended up with a broken car window. I also believe there's an app out there that'll completely lock your phone down too. Check lookout's suite of software, they may have something for you

Try out Cerberus it can remotely take pictures using the front or back camera and it emails the picture to you, bad guys face is there and also can use the back camera to figure out where they are. GPS locator remotely wipe SD and phone memory and also can set up other people's numbers (that you trust obviously) that you can send a wipe message to your phone from as well through text.
And its only $4 for a lifetime license.
Ive noticed when im on a phone call every so often i hear a faint popping/clicking noise in the background. Maybe every 20 or 30 seconds or so. Has anyone else noticed this or anything?

I've had some issue when on speakerphone with voice going in and out, but not sure if that's the popping you are referring to. Maybe try enabling/disabling Voice enhancement in Call settings. That gave me some problems on previous devices...
I swapped devices to fix mine. It had the pop and the ir blaster didn't work. This second on doesn't have the pop

I think disabling voice enhancement did the trick for me. Seems that way so far. Thanks!

Is there a way to remove it from the screen? It tends to cover up a lot of watch faces.

Something may be wrong. If it's always there, that could possibly run the battery down really fast. Depending on the watchface, the wording doesn't show up. On some of the stock faces, the face lights up, but no words show, which I like lol. But that may be because I am on the gohma rom. LOL.
But before that, the words should disappear within a few seconds. If it doesn't try a few other watchfaces and see if goes away. Does it even show when in dimmed mode? If so you may need to first try rebooting the watch and if that doesn't work, try doing a complete reset of the watch. Unless someone else can chime in. GL
Mine shows then disappeares fairly quickly. But its annoying that it covers up text on some watch faces. Is it watch dependent then?

Yup! When I first got it, it only showed for the first couple screen wakes. I think my watch updated and now it wont go away.
