I have to say I love my G-1 so far but I am having a big problem with the calendar.
1- the recurring options are set, I cant create my own pattern.
2- Calendar remind alert doesnt go off when phone is on flight mode.
I am use to keep my phone on flight mode at work but for some reason my reminder doesn't work. I left my phone on and did work that's when I realized nothing is coming when in flight mode.
Any one else having this issue

hey all,
my problem is this: if i put my BA into flight mode, after a random period of time (its been anything from 5min to 30min) it automatically comes out of flight mode and switches back to the phone being on.
now, i'm basically using my BA as a pure pda so i haven't even got a sim card in it... if i can disable the phone side of things all together, that'd be great, but if not some kind of fix to stop it reenabling the phone would be much appreciated.
thx~

Hi
have the same Problem in Flight-mode. Is there anybody who knows how to patch this?
This might be a problem for me..
I'm away to KL next week (12hrs in the plain)
Flight-Mode
Be sure, that no application (like Pushmail) is starting any GPRS-Connection.
In my case (installed HTC Comm-Manager), I can't start/stop Pushmail over the Comm-Manager - i change the settings in ActiveSync (Shedule) and change to manualy.
Then it's recommended that you stop the Data-Conneciton. I can't stop it with Comm-Manager, so I use the G-Symbol in the Titelbar to end the connection.
Perhaps it helps.

I think i've found a fix for this... well, so far my phone hasn't gotten out of flight mode for 72 hours so i'm hoping this is a fix.
anyways, goto start>settings>menu and make sure "profiles" is enabled
then goto start>profiles
in all the profiles, for the ring type select "none" and set the phone volume to the lowest setting then click apply for each one separately
eg: click on general, select "none" for ring type, set the phone volume to none, click "apply" or "ok" (its the left softkey). then go back into the program and repeat for silent, etc etc...
but yeah, this seems to have worked for me so far. ^_^v
So I've got the problem where when my phone is off/standby I don't get a notification or alert until I turn the phone on at which point it plays the standard alert and vibrate (this is of course useless).
Playing around and I noticed that this problem goes away when I uncheck the setting 'Turn device off after X mins'.
Now, at first I assume that there were 3 modes on the HD (and presumably on all htc phones) and they are: Power off, standby, on. Those states seem self explanitory. Give that assumption, I always thought that there was just a problem with the sms program doing a notification.
With this new solution, ie, disabling auto turn off, all my text messages come through with a notification within 6 seconds of sending it on the other end. But I played around with it some more. Some of you may know of a program called psshutxp. This program can do three things: display off, turn off, and reset. Now I never used this turn off feature before because I assumed it just turned the phone off. I activated this function with the auto turn off setting disabled (the phone doesn't auto turn off) and end up not receiving messages (exactly like the original problem).
What I've concluded then is that the device actually has 4 states: Power off, standby, display off, on. Now if you read the whole thing you may have noticed that I'm implying the solution is to disable auto off and thus leave the device in what would appear to be 'display off' mode. It works, certainly, but I'm starting to think that battery life is going to suffer immensely. (I'm going to test this tonight)
It seems we're back to square one, but wth a little, and albiet minor conclusion: SMS messages should wake the device but leave the screen off. There have been some intermediate solutions that say to change the 'disable device wake on sms' registry from 1 to 0 or use HD tweak to achieve a similar effect then combine this change with a good screen locker.
My question then is, is it possible to wake the device but leave the screen off via registry or via resident program?
Investigating the resident program option some more, is it possible to run compact framework programs while the device is in standby?
Finally, I know that the Touch Diamond 2 had a recent hotfix for this exact issue. Considering the similarities between the two devices, is it possible to port a solution? I'm going to see if I can try it out myself (but I'm not as experienced at platform modifications as I am in software development). I also noticed that a lot of Diamond 2 users still report the problem wasn't solved with that hotfix.
check out the HD Tweak app, i think it has a "wake on SMS" tweak you can apply to the phone. would also help if you mention if you're using a Stock or custom ROM. in my case, i'm using a custom ROM with SMS Chat and i'm gettting SMS notifications with my device in stand-by mode. fyi, i'm not using the HD Tweak app...
Yeah, the Wake on SMS on HD tweak as mentioned in my post basically modifies the registry for device wake on SMS.
However, this is not, and should not be normal behaviour as waking the device turns the screen on as well. (unless your device is different in that it doesn't turn on the screen at the same time as waking up from a SMS, if this is the case, then... that's a pretty significant finding.)
just tested my device... screen is off (e.g., hit the power button to turn it off) sent myself a txt via my email account, heard the SMS notification and screen is still off. i'm using a custom ROM miri v26.2.
I can achieve the same effect by disabling auto turn off. As in: my device remains off and the SMS notification is properly sounded. (everything works as it should)
However, I worry that the device isn't actually in standby and rather just has the display off (which means that background apps are still running). A possible concequence could be that it would drain my batt pretty fast ( this is my cheif concern).
I am now a proud owner of Locale - great stuff! Expensive but good.
Has anyone else used this? Any hints or tips? It *seems* to sense location somehow even with GPS and wi-fi turned off for example, and how to use 'variables' properly.
Any must have plug-ins? Any way to change scenes with it?
What do you use it for? and how do you configure it?
Look for "Locale location plug-in". Brilliant, it's a localization service based on the mobile network cell you're in. it works without wi-fi or gps of course. "Locale cell plug-in" does the same but it will expire on August, maybe to become a pay app.
I like locale very much but realized that with the many plug-ins I've put I've easily reached 20 bucks..overall quite expensive for an android app!
Anyway, a priceless thing imho is using it to switch the phone to the airplane mode at late night ("Locale airplane mode plug-in", the free one)..you keep your alarm clock on but save the battery!
More to come..
I use locale to automatically put my phone in silent mode when I go to sleep (time plugin). In the morning it opens up my calendar so it's the first thing I see when turning on my phone (shortcut plugin). When going to college my phone turns to vibrate mode (calendar plugin). And I've got some power saving options when my battery runs low.
Lately I've come across the incoming sms plugin, and I use it in case of emergencies for my family and friends. Because my phone is always in silent mode when I'm sleeping, my parents for example can't contact me if there's something really urgent going on. If my phone receives a sms with the keyword 'SOS' in it, it switches to the loudest volume and changes my ringtone in an emergency tone, so they can call me after sending the text. This way the most important people in my life can always contact me, and my drunk buddies won't bother me at night
This has been driving me crazy for the last couple of weeks -
When my S7 Edge goes into silent or night mode, the device vibrates - and when it enters normal mode, it plays a notification sound.
How to disable these notifications?
I have been using custom ROMs for the last month, have been with Renovate for most of that time.
I have a tasker profile set up, to enter silent mode if there is a busy appointment in my calendar, and to enter normal mode once the appointment ends.
I have used the same profile on different phones in the past - but not Samsung ones - and I never got these notifications. There is nothing in Tasker which configures this, it must be somewhere in the device Settings.
It's similar to the "notify on call connection" option, which I located and disabled - but I just can't track this one down.
Any ideas?
I've put Do Not Disturb mode on when I'm driving, so that I don't get disturbed by notifications (e.gm whatsapp, Facebook, messages) popping up in bubbles at the top of the screen.
It's simply doesn't work - they still pop up! (albeit it doesn't vibrate).
I've selected the "hide visual notifications" option (see screenshot) but it doesn't work either way.
Anyone else have this issue? Any potential solutions?
Mine still give audible notifications in the night when it should be on do not disturb!
I have a much larger issue. My Galaxy S8+, I will turn on the setting to keep alarms on, one night it will work and the next night it won't so my alarm never goes off in the morning. Therefore I stopped using DND, turned all the setting to off even deleted the days it will operate to none and the setting STILL comes on every night at 1030. I go in to check my settings and they are all back on to the day before. Android is starting to get pretty poor with its updates.
if your display is on and in an app while in dnd calls will still come through if youre display is off they will not come through if youre display is on but not in an app the calls will not come through. No work around i can find as of now
This is so typically Samsung.. They finally fixed it, but only when the screen is off and when on the home screen
Ugh.. My Do Don't Disturb is dysfunctional.
If I'm listening to an audio book, watching Netflix or jamming to my tunes and someone calls what ever I'm listening to/watching pauses while the phone silently rings that's B.S. DND means exactly that DND. All calls should go straight to VM. when DND mode is on. Otherwise I can just turn the darn ringer off. DND is worthless.
For me works well. Only when the screen is off, like iPhone. Have you make the settings propperly? Because you can put if you want that calls don't show on screen.
A similar issue was fixed by hard-reset. Have you tried a factory reset? Factory reset stepMod Edit
Is there still no fix to this?
It seems like a pretty important malfunction and is super frustrating every night.
Anyone manage to get it working properly using Tasker?
On my S4, then S6 Edge I had a Tasker profile to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically when I plug my phone in to charge at night, and it worked a treat.
Not with the S8, no matter what I try, it still vibrates and activates the LED notification, even though it is showing as Do Not Disturb mode on, and in the settings I have ticked all the options to hide notifications when the screen is on, and off, and set no exceptions, or alarms only with the same result.
Any ideas?
