[Q] VOIP call notification in stand by mode - Touch HD General

Apoligies if this has been answered already. I ve searched a lot but havent found a solution thus far. i use portsip and nimbuzz for voip (over 3g). My problem is that I do not get any incoming call notifications when my phone is on stand by due to which I miss a lot of sip/skype calls. Is there a possible fix for this. I have tried using pcshutxp which would only turn off my display light, but this drains my battery real quick. Thanks for all the help.

See my last note in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-501370.html
There are at least 2 pieces of software floating around this forum that can be used to keep wave device powered on in unattended mode. This should allow rings to be played.

Hi Stepw. Thanks for the quick reply. Can you please direct me to the 2 softwares in this forum that you mentioned. Thanks again.

XDA II Delay in Receiving Calls

Been having a problem on my XDA II in that when I receive a call and answer it, it takes a few seconds before I can hear the other person. Sometime it woks fine and others the person can hear me but I can't hear them ?
It has been back for repair 3 times and it still does the same thing. The speaker is fine as it works loud and clear, it's only on incoming calls not on outgoing.
The place where I have bought it will now swap it out for a XDA IIi as you cant get the II anymore around here. That's great but I would still like to know why it went wrong ? Anyone got any clues ?
plz explain what is delayed.
Could it be just too much s/w running?
I found that when I am running activesync, calendar & contacts sometimes there is an awful delay in the response of the MDAII. Especially the BT headset has delays then of more then 20seconds (so I answer call on MDAII and then transfer it to headset when this occurs).
delay on phone
:shock: Me too!
Not sure if I should answer on screen,accept or reject,or green button.Both seem to delay,often with caller ringing again.
When the phone rings and you answer it. You hear nothing. It's a case of hello ? hello ? etc. They can hear you but I can't hear them then all of a sudden their sound will just kick in.
Actually sometimes when I dial out, I never hear a ringing tone and all of a sudden the person cuts in.
There is a delay. I have no software running at all. It does this from a hard reset as well.
What bugs me is that it has gone back 3 times and they claim it has been tested and fixed. It clearly hasn't.
Hope the XDA IIi is better, cos this was very annoying.
Hi Ekko,
Would you happen to be running Pocket Bluetooth Tools?
Cheers,
Pete
Hi, the phone was fine until about 6 mths old when it started doing this. I had Pocket Bluetooth on it and it used to be totally fine. This never affected it at all.
Obviously once this problem arose, I have hard reset the machine on a number of occasions and have used it as a clean machine. Same problem ? So not down to Bluetooth Tools.
Hands Free mode
In order to use an Himalaya with a BT headset you need to run 2.20 translated. The Hands Free profile works better and it will even support caller ID and there is no delay when answering calls.

No email or sms audible alerts in standby

I hope i am not posting something which others have already posted i have seen this issue on the touch diamon2 aka raphael but not posted for the touch pro 2.
When i receive an email or sms and the phone is in standby i dont get an audible alert tone just vibrate unless the screen is on and this drains the battery.
I noticed that a fix was released for the diamond 2 but this will not work on the touch pro 2.
I have brought this to the attention of HTC and i am told in development. I have tried the registry tweaks but still no luck.
All that happens when phone is in standby it vibrates but no audible alert,
do you use HD TWEAK? and have you set the booster audio to the maximum? because ive had the same issue and unistalling hd tweak ive solved...
no sound
thanks for the reply do not used hd tweak , its on a vodafone stock rom . where can i set booseter audio to maximum. many thanks

with hd tweak..
Hmm I've got exactly same problem as you. No new SMS sound while in standby.
Yup I've done couple of tweaks probably one too many but which one.
Oh and I've not installed HD tweak....
no sms sound
Does anyone think this might be a registry tweak or is it a fault with the device. when i looked on htc they seemed to have the same issue with the touch diamond 2 . unfortunately the fix does not work on the touch pro2
I'd vote for registry, as everything was playing well begore my play with tweaking.
no sound
i tried a clear memory
and after still did not work - any ideas
fine during the day when phone on my belt but big problem at night
I don't have this problem at all? Maybe a stupid question, but did you enable a new SMS or email sound in the settings tab?
no sound in standby
my sounds works fine provided the screen is on the problem is when the phone goes in to standby or sleep mode
same problem here.. phone receives sms fine when it is on or when screen is just turned off with sound alerts. but once its been left in standby for a few hours the only alert i get is a the blinking green light when a sms comes in.. hopefully this will be fixed in the future roms
one of the workarounds is to enable smswakeup in the registry, some people have had success with this

Dodgy ringing

Hi all, tried searching for the topic but couldn't find anything so please bear with me
I have discovered that when receiving an incoming call, having set up a ringtone from the device, the first ring is sort of dodgy, like fading in and out. its hard to explain, but its like the volume gets high then low and so on.
however, after the first ring, the second and third appear to be with a stable volume.
can anyone help? and i have already set the ringing style to Ring not increasing.
your help is highly appreciated, thanks.
***
another problem i am having... i didnt really want to make a new thread.
its with the GPRS. I have set my email to check every 2 hours, and have used HDtweaks to make the gprs to disconnect after 1 minute. the problem is the GPRS almost always stays connected, and i have to disconnect it manually. I am only worried cause it drains alot of battery power i believe.
HELP!

Does this Ring problem happen with every ring tone you select?
As with GPRS HD Tweak should stop connection after it has detected the connection is no longer in use, check your settings in HD Tweak to make sure it is set and maybe try a few different selections of disconnect time.
Also try changing the email check too
Have you installed any other tweak programs?
cheers for the reply mate. the problem happens with every ringtone i select. Today i found something interesting, when i use SPB shell the problem with the ringing tone disappears! its there only on the touch flo, how wierd is that?!
about the gprs, i have tried many times, sometimes it disconnects and sometim it goes on and on until i disconnect it manually.
thanks for your help anyways

HD2 Dropping calls

Hi guys, this is my first post - very exciting.
I've had the HD2 for 3 weeks now and I love it. The only issue I have is with it dropping calls. I don't think it handles the handover from cell to cell very well but that's not my main issue as it happened from time to time on other phones too. My main query is with the clever accelerometer related functions. According to the manual, during a call if you put it face down it activates the speaker. Mine just ends the call. I think that it is getting confused during calls if I move and cutting me off. Done two hard resets but no joy. Does anyone know how to disable the function either through settings or registry?
I've looked around for quite a while on the forum and can't find what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Dan
PS It has stock O2 ROM, BSB tweaks, etc

In terms of dropping calls, it is usually due to the handover sequence between cellsites, rather than the handset itself.
I'm guessing you are on O2? If so, PM me your location and I'll get my "inside contact" to take a look at any outstanding issues there.
I must admit, I've not used that accelerometer feature yet, but I have turned it on. (Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications)
Erm.. This might sound like a dumb post but I was having problems with call disconnection whilst in the middle of calls. I discovered the problem - I'm LEFT HANDED!
When I used the device I held it in my right hand and type/operate with my left. When I held the phone to my right ear to have a conversation I was occasionaly touching my cheek with the call-end button and that's how I was getting repeated disconnections - true story.
I am now a practicing ambidextarian...
Thanks for getting back so quickly guys
a practicing ambidextarian eh............ I wish I could breathe underwater! (sorry I couldn't resist it)
I don't think I'm cutting off the call through contact with the screen all the time though but yes I have done it more than once!
Thanks for the info rp-x1. I'm in Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications and the only thing that looks relevant is the 'Quiet ring on pickup' option and I'm not sure it's related. For instance, I got a call early yesterday morning and answered the call in bed. When the wife elbowed me and I turned on my side the phone assumed I was putting it face down and ended the call. I'm looking to disable this function.
Dropping Phone calls even in locked screen state
I am also dropping a alot of calls . Not sure if it is related to face down as the phone is always upright after answring a call. May be the call end button.
Having said that the phone was locked when I received a call today. I moved the slider to answer said "hello", then after 3 seconds it disconnected.
Any ideas?
Thanks
edit: Seems like a proxomity sensor issue, judging by other threads. Will continue to search for a fix/workaround.
htc hd2 dropping calls
Hi everyone,
I have a htc hd2 since 1/2011, love the phone BUT i HATE the dropping calls problem!! Please help. also will upgrade to windows 7 help with this problem.
I hardly use the phone to make calls, so I'm not sure if the calls dropping in the past is any relation, but as stated by Danno320, according to the manual ( i went back looking for this ), turning the phone face-down will activate speakerphone.
This is so exciting... so I tried it a few times.
All it did was to disconnect the calls.
I wonder if the action really does turn the speakerphone on.
Anyone who's tried and succeeded?
I also want to know if there's a solution to this now that I know my phone isn't functioning like what the manual said it should be...

Disabling the screen while active and enabling text to speech.

Afternoon folks, as a newbie to Android I'm wondering if anyone can help with a couple of random questions (yes, I have googled extensively but so far had no luck finding solutions or even hopeful looking workarounds).
I'm a biker and use my phone as a hub for satnav, entertainment, communications etc. Because I'm on a bike and not in a car I have no need for the screen to be running whilst CoPilot sits in the pocket and happily munches battery life, there's no need for graphics on the screen. Is there a way to turn off the screen to conserve battery yet leave the phone itself running and not in standby mode?
The next question is regarding SMS, is it possible to configure the Desire to convert incoming SMS to voice and read them out automatically? Say for example when a headset is plugged in the phone would alert and then read the message directly rather than just notify.
Cheers.
