i really need a text notification while i am on the phone, i don't care what the phone does while i am on it a beep or vibrate or extremely loud siren or mr. T saying "you gotta text FOOL!" i don't care. i love the phone and i love android and my G1 but i hate that when i am on the phone i have no way of knowing that i got a text from someone.
sorry if this seems rude but it seems to me that it would be incredibly easy to implement and yet we don't have it yet
i was just pondering about this. i was on the phone and got off only to find out that i had several missed txts. i was like, jeez android doesn't have in-call notifications?! lol
litterally just happened to me, and with root we should be able to build it into the ROM or if there is an app that will do it then please let me know what it is, last night i was waiting on a text from a friend coming over and then i got a call, the call lasted 15 minutes while the guy texted me like crazy telling me to let him in and had no idea i was on the phone(fortunately he understood what happened since he has an android phone as well)
Hmmm all my other phones did this... which were android, the click and the G1, I believe my phone does this as well, I have my texts set to vibrate and it does a little vibrate for me.
My rooted G1 has in-call notifications. The Slide does not. And I agree, it is irritating.
ya mines viberates its pretty obvious when theres a txt it annoys me tho gonna shut it off
yours vibrates when you are on the phone and you get a text? please let me know what settings you have enabled and what ROM you are on if any
you gotta use chompsms i think and it has an option for either vibrate or ringtone during phone call.
Handcent does this as well. Sound and Vibrate Notifications.

First of all, great job on the special edition ROM. Maybe I don't get why we in general would all want to calculate sun positions or use some of the other zillion apps, but hey... it's still more stable and largely better working than the OEM crap.
However... the blinking message light you can set for SMS, at least for me, doesn't act happy any longer. It certainly will turn on but not off after you read a message. Anybody else have this problem? It also sucks (casually unrelated) that there is no audible repeat notification that a call or SMS was missed. My cheapo $20 Motorola has that feature working great!
Also, my GPRS connection is dead. Don't know where to go on that, it worked after I set everything after the ROM update... for about two hours. Since then, no dice. It'll probably be difficult to get T-Mobile to troubleshoot it considering that it's not really their ROM anymore...
Thanks for any insights!

Indeed, some bugs exist. I also notice that SMS notified flash light can NOT turn off after I read a message. I try a dozen of times, still can't find a solution. So I just disable that function.
Another odd problem, I set the sound for missed call. The funny thing is, the "missed call" tone immediately comes after the "ring tone" if I don't pick up the call. Sadly, the "missed call" tone doesn't repeat any more. How do I really know I got a missed call? :x
try this

try this one: MY|PHONE|PROFILES
it resolves some problems you listed[/url]
So NOBODY cares? No audible missed call notifications...
I have all the latest and greatest, thanks to you guys, mainly XDA-Developers and Jeff!!!
Still, no audible reminders of missed calls or unchecked SMS. Despite searching around all over, can't find any software to make up for this lacking feature.
What's up? No solution? Nobody cares/doesn't mind checking their phones for missed calls and such?

Does the phone still work I mean can you place a call?
Also where are you located?
Yea the phone works fine, it's just how all these are. I've tested four of them, they ALL do it. You miss a call, get voice mail, whatever. There is no provision to get repeated audible notifications like you can on any regular cell phone.
The best you can do is have the light continue blinking at increased intervals.
I've used 3.16, 4.00.5, 4.0016, and now 4.00.11. Same thing on all of them. Radio is now 6.24, was 6.18. Was same thing.
I don't think it's a bug, but a lacking feature.
I'm in the U.S.
Why, can you turn repeating audible notifications of a missed call on?
I agree that both 6.24 and 6.18 are lame and thats why I'm using AT&T's Radio Stack version A.20.10.
Sorry never heard of a repeating audible notification for missed calls though but you might want to take a look at the below programs:

Ok, so on every dumb phone I have ever had you can hit the volume button on the side of the phone to silence the ringer for both incoming calls and SMS. On every WM phone you can only do this for incoming call. Kind of sucks because I want a long sms ringer so if im in the next room it gives me more of a chance to hear it, but it also sucks when you have a 30 second ringer that you cant shut up. So here is my challenge, someone develop and app that will allow you to silence the sms ringer with a button push. I don't have the slightest idea how to go about doing it, but i'm sure someone on here can do this fairly easily.

Mabe this totally isn't what you're looking for, but this is my solution.
I'm using PhoneAlarm. When I have a missed call or SMS, it gives me a
warning every 30 seconds for 30 minutes long.
That would solve you're missed SMS/calls problem.
I'm afraid developing an app for this, is much more difficult.
not really what im looking for but definitely a good solution for the general problem. So anyone know why its so hard to develop an app that can interrupt the sms ringer?
My friend called me yesterday and he was asking why you didnt answer your phone. Well i was like what the **** you didn't even call me. Later that day he was standing next to me when he calld me and it still didnt ring so whats the problem?

Do you accidentally have them diverted to another phone or something? Really strange... Can you ring him?
The exact same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. The missus wanted to know why I hadn't rung her back, but I had no missed calls. I got my brother to ring me, stood next to me and it was showing it was ringing on his phone, bit my phone was oblivious to it! A reboot fixed it, but there's no way of knowing if it had happened. I could still send and receive texts.
A similar thing happened to me 2 days ago. The phone wouldn't ring, even when I called it from a different phone, but I did get a missed call notification. I had to restart and then re-choose a ring tone and then it worked again. I have no idea how this all of a sudden happened as I didn't change anything in the phone.
Were you using GPRS connection at the time? Because when connected to GPRS, and data is actively being sent/received, the phone will not respond and the caller will get an engaged tone.
This is ONLY when data is being sent/received, and only on GPRS, not 3G/HSDPA (Edge i'm not sure about)
Edit - this is based on quite old information from my early days with GPRS, you might want to check it.
I don't know what connection I was on, but I wasn't sending an engaged tone. Anyone ringing me had the ring tone, just no answer (obviously really as I couldn't answer even if I knew it was ringing!)
i have the same problem here. did anyone solve this yet?
thanks.
Is the "phone/ ring sound" switched of?
Does everyone elses phone do this? Ive gone through settings and **** every time it annoys me to see if I can find something Ive missed.
Thoughts?
This is totally normal, just set it on vibrate + ring so at least you can feel it for the first few seconds.
This is totally normal

This makes me a sad panda.
i kinda like it.........i don't jump everytime my phone rings at full blast.
kinda forgot about this, I got use to it.
I actually prefer it like that. Gives me a chance to answer my phone if I'm close by without startling everyone in the room.
I don't like it at the beginning, but once I feel so annoying hearing full volume of the ringtones in some quiet area, I love this feature now
Hello,
I've had my nexus 6P for a while now and have had this issue since day one but never really cared about it until recently. My issue is that every time i get a text , my phone gives me a double tone of what every i have set , i use just a simple tone since anything longer plays twice. Recently i have been in a few group texts and i have been getting so many in a row that its become bothersome, so i figured i would just mute the conversation so i can still be in it just not get a head ache. well that mutes one of the tones but not the second one so it seems i am getting a second notification from some thing other then the messenger app and for the life of me i cant figure it out. Does any one have any idea whats going on and how i can just get a single tone for a text
thanks
