Hello, is it possible automatically wake up the stratos upon reception of a message? I want directly read it instead of going into menu and select it...
Not, yet... But a (poor) workaround it to active the "turn on on wrist movement", that can be enabled only at certain times, in Settings.

I have a SGS2 with Optus branding. Recently updated to 4.0.3.
Can anyone offer fixes or reasons why these issues exist? I am sure if I rooted and installed a ROM, a lot of these issues would be better(?)
Home Key:
Will only go to Page 4. If there is no page 4, it will go to the last desktop page from an app, or will stay on the current desktop page.
Brightness:
The 'brightness' setting randomly changes to a lower setting. I have have checked and rechecked these settings...
Settings > Dislay > General > Automatic Brightness = Unticked
Settings > Dislay > General > Auto adjust screen power = Unticked
Settings > Power Saving > System power saving mode = Unticked
Settings > Power Saving > Custom power saving mode = Unticked
I set Brightness to maximum. When I come to use the phone next, it has changed to half brightness (or less). This seems to be independant of the charge level before and after.
In some instances where the phone has gone to sleep and I wake it, the lock screen is dimmed. It will only go full brightness once I have entered the correct pin. Difficult in daylight of course!!
Contacts:
The 'Contacts' tab seems to have dissappeared after the update from the Phone app [ Keypad | *Contacts* | Logs | Favourites ]. I can select by Menu > Contacts. How do I get the tab back?
I currently have SIM, Phone and Google selcted for 'Contacts to display' and I have selected 'Merge with Google' but some contacts are still missing from SIM. None are saved to the phone. I'm not sure which is the best way here, other than knowing that the SIM has limited fields.
Bluetooth:
It will not automatically connect with my Plantronics Voyager Pro HD Headset. The same headset connects with my B2710 automatically (ie. authorised).
PC Mode:
When I have the phone connected to a PC USB, even if just for charging, the phone becomes difficult to use. Its response time to keypresses is extremely slow or non existant. This makes entering passwords/unlocking or swiping hard or near impossible at times.
Camera:
The 'Review - On/Off' option is no longer on the settings menu.
Google Maps/Navigation:
When I open Maps and click the search (magnifier) button and start entering, it will close this window (and keyboard) and return to the map up to 3 times, cancelling anything I have entered. Some said to me 'Be patient', but how do you know how long for, and thats rediculous. Google does not seem to have a program fault report system, only map report.
Once I have selected Transport or walking mode, it will automatically select that for the next several navs and I have to manually select car.
The GPS symbol won't appear in the notification bar until I open Maps. I believe it should start looking as soon as I switch it on.
If I haven't selected to 'Navigate' to a destination, the phone will sleep after the preset time, and when I wake and unlock, it has lost the GPS and has to find again before I can continue.
Drops GPS if I swap to another app. This means when I come back I have to wait an unknown amount of time for it to resync. This seems to be getting longer lately
Touchpal Curve Keyboard:
Seems to have lost the ability to detect beginning of sentences so won't automatically insert a capital.
No longer shows up predicted words. I have double checked all settiungs. All enabled.

May have a few others but thats a good start
One last, warranty issue - I recently cracked the screen. I stopped an Optus shop kiosk and inquired about repair... $250. I commented "I assume if I got it fixed by a third party that would void the warranty of the phone?" The Kiosk attendant replied "Yes, and even if we do it that voids the warranty of the phone". I walked away thinking that can't be right. A call to Fair Trading referred me to the TIO. A call to the TIO referred me to Fair Trading . When I stated this to the TIO, they said "We can't categorically say that a repair to a damaged screen will affect the manufacturer's obligation to repair or not" OMG!
And another...
I used to be able to share photos on Facbook directly from the Gallery, but since the update, Facebook is no longer as an option under 'Share via'. I can only do it from the Camera or using Facebook, which uploads a low res version only.
Is this the right forum for these issues? Are they phone or Android issues?
Wow
1. Change the thread title, or the mods will kick off.
2. Try other ROMs to see if your problems will go away.
I couldn't be bothered to read everything.
...
If these sg2 forums are anything like the x10 forums then you'll need to/should be looking through 1000s of posts concerning a rom you choose,or you could end up with more problems than you have now.
And is the screen fixed or still broken

I've seen a few reports that people do not receive new mail notifications when the screen is off. The wifi implementation by HTC is horribly broken. You'd think that enabling the option "Always keep wifi ON during sleep" would do just that, but it doesn't. Disabling Power Save mode doesn't help either.
What I found to help is enabling the option "Best Wi-Fi Performance" under the Wi-Fi Advanced settings. Not sure what the battery impact is though.
I started looking into it because I was having VOIP problems when using CSipSimple. I noticed that every time I put my phone to my ear the screen would turn off (the proximity sensor) and the call would become really choppy - it would not get disconnected, just very choppy. Then I enabled the advanced CSipSimple option to keep the screen on during a call and that fixed the problem. Then I started looking if there was another setting that I could use while keeping the screen off. It seems "Best Wi-Fi Performance" does it, even if Power Save mode is ON.
So, if you want notifications to come in while the screen is off, try this option.
For VOIP calls, it's probably easier to just configure the VOIP client (if it supports it) to keep the screen on during the call, unless you are on the phone for hours and it doesn't make sense to drain the battery because of the screen. Then again, turning on the option above is a better choice. Now it would be nice for these VOIP/SIP clients to have an option to toggle the HTC setting on during a call and flip it back to its previous state at the end of the call.
Hi guys,
I own a Blackview Crown with the latest SW released (20141015).
I noticed that randomly during the day the audio profiles and the data settings for the dual SIM management are reset to the default values.
For example: I set "screen lock sound" and "vibrate on touch" to OFF and they are set to ON automatically by the system.
In contemporary the bug affects also the data connection settings on the DUAL SIM management menu... it is switched from one SIM card to the other one (and this is the most annoying problem...).
Do you know whether this can be a known problem? Or maybe this is an Android bug?
I already tried to write to Blackview.hk but received no answers so far...
Thanks a lot for your help!!
PS you know whether there is a LOG that can be activated to understand what is happening? this issue does not happen during system reboot... it happens really randomly, every 1-2 days
I found that the settings reset is caused by the Android "POWER SAVING MANAGEMENT" function.
When the "POWER SAVING MANAGEMENT" function is enabled many services are stopped to save power (like data connection or ringtone volume for example). When the "POWER SAVING MANAGEMENT" function is disabled, the settings are set at the default values (such as "high precision" GPS or "vibrate on touch"). The customized settings are lost.
I do not know whether this is a Crown-related issue or it's common to all the Android 4.4.2 users.
Over the last month or so, my phone has been randomly activating DND mode. It seems like I did not have this issue when I had tilt to wake turned off, so I'm wondering if my watch is causing this. I've also posted in my phone's forum with no responses. Has anyone else experienced this with the Zenwatch? Is there some gesture that activates it?
What is Do not Disturb mode?
Is it just going silent? There is a DND switch in the android wear app that silences the phone when the watch is connected, is that off?
DND is the new silent mode that silences all notifications except alarms and priority.
My ZW2 automatically goes into DND when the power save feature kicks in at 15%.
Yeah you can put the phone and watch into "do not disturb" mode by swiping down from the top of the screen and turning it on or off. I'm wondering if this is somehow accidentally getting switched on there or if it is a software bug with the phone. You can set it to come on on a schedule on the phone, but I have never set that option up.

Ok, the watch is definitely causing this. My phone was in the middle of an upgrade for Android and I noticed that the watch had switched over to Do Not Disturb while it was disconnected from the phone. I may be due for a factory reset.

So, I finally figured out what is causing this. You can enable Do Not Disturb entirely through gestures with the watch. If you twist your arm towards you with the screen on, it will pull down the menu from the top that has your battery and the button for do not disturb. If this menu is open, a quick downward flick of your arm will enable do not disturb. Apparently, I am doing this combination of motions fairly often.
You are a lifesaver with this tip!
The strange thing is that after a while my Zenwatch also does not receive any agenda items (agenda simply shows no items) nor will it receive any notifications (calls, emails etc) whenever the DND issue arises even though I exit DND mode. Until now the only solution I have found to this is doing a hard reset on both my phone (HTC M8 running latest GPE marshmallow) and the Zenwatch 2. The usual tricks like clearing the watch and the Android Wear app do not resolve this.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

I never ran into that issue. Mine seemed to go back to normal once I disabled DND. However, my phone had some issues with DND and settings would crash if I tried to adjust the DND settings. I think that this was just a weird issue with my phone and not related to the watch.
I have not had DND enable since I turned off wrist gestures in the watch settings. I also sent feedback to Google requesting to be able to customize or remove items from that drop-down menu. Maybe if others who are experiencing this issue do the same, they will implement some kind of fix.
Hi, I've got an amazfit stratos on the latest firmware version. I've got auto dnd set up to start at 23.30 and finish at 07.00. The only problem is, it mostly never starts. Some times it starts, but then it doesn't disable itself at 7.
If I enable it manually, even if I'm inside the dnd period, since I did it manually now I gotta disable it manually as well. The only way to make it work (when I find out it's disabled or enabled) is to go to the watch's settings, and modify the auto dnd time by like a minute up or down. Then it enables / disables itself according to whether I am inside or outside of the time period. The following evening it does the same and I gotta do the same.
It even has waken me up in the middle of the night.
I'm getting tired of it. I use amazmod as well and I've got it set up to follow the watch's dnd situation, but since the watch doesn't go into dnd, amazmod keeps sending me notifications.
Anything I can do?
I have the same issue with it. My workaround is disable and enable auto DND, something more or less that you do

No fix then. It's just that I've never seen anyone else complain about it so I thought it must have been a fault with mine. Thanks.
