Hey, I am getting so annoyed by this, and was praying someone could help lol.
My HTC Wildfire is not vibrating when recieving SMS's. I have checked and double checked the usual sms settings, which all show that it is meant to be on.
I have looked around the forums and have found this to be a re-occuring issue, the solution being to download an app called 'Sound manager'. However, I have looked on the android market place and just cannot find it...
If anyone can help me with this I will gladly have their baby's

Hello Hangover,
I had exactly the same problem!!
To make it possible to find and install sound manager (plus all other apps that do not appear on the market on our QVGA Wildfire) do the following:
- Install the applications 'Appbrain' and 'Fast Web Installer' on your Phone.
- Go to appbrain.com on your pc and create your account
- Synchronise your Phone and the appbrain account with the Appbrain application on the phone
- Search for Sound Manager on the appbrain website and click install
- This will push the application directly to your phone without going via the Android Market.
- Application will download and install.
That's it!!
Cheers,
Sylvain

this does not seem to be a correct reply.. i dont have a solution .. but i would say if your phone is new get a replacement..Before that make sure you are using default sms app and not handcent sms or some other app.. if u are using some market app.. open the app press menu and check its settings...

Hi Warrior,
Not vibrating when receiving an SMS seems to be quite common on android devices. It's not a hardware fault, no need to return it therefore...
This problem is solved by installing the application Sound Manager and changing the vibration settings in that application. You can uninstall it afterwards again if you don't want to keep it without affecting the vibration behaviour.
www .tech-mania.com/2010/07/fix-htc-evo-4g-vibrating-receiving/
An additional problem on the Wildfire is that you simply can't find the application Sound Manager on the market (probably because of it's QVGA screen).
I described here above a way to find and install this application.
I'll leave it to the original poster to decide if he wants to read more about the solution I suggested and possibly try it afterwards.
I just know it worked for me...
Regards,
Sylvain
Ok buddy Sulvian thats great i thought you were trying to promote appbrain..
By the way ppl can also try to see the settings by opening the msg app pressing the settings and exploring to desired setting...

When I get the install option on the AppBrain app I click it and it says "Not Found. The requested item could not be found."
I've synched the device and it can see the items I want to install and I've tried this on a few different apps and same error keeps coming up. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Dude did you try what i said..press Menu>>all apps>> Select the sms app>> When its open again tap Menu select settings.. and you will see things like notification settings and vibrate on sms ... I dont have any of my android phones with me right now till tomorrow.. so try and explore to the correct settings..
TO try what Sulvian said ::
1> Go to market and search Barcode Scanner (make sure it can read 2D barcodes) install it.
2> Run the program and with your camera scan the following code
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and now you are done..
ALso if the above thing does not work try to google for soundmanager.apk
HAVE FUN let me know if it works for you.
Ok I'm an idiot. I had set up the appbrain app but not the fast download thing . It works fine now. Thanks for your advice anyway dude, much appreciated.

Yeah... You need BOTH applications for it to work
The appbrain application itself will simply redirect your phone to the official Android Market causing the 'NOT FOUND' message for some apps.
The Fast Web Installer application will circumvent the 'Android Market-step' and send the app directly to your Phone.
I'm glad it worked for you too!

That's indeed the first thing to check...
Although all settings were set correctly on my Wildfire it would still NOT vibrate when receiving an SMS. If you are in the same situation too, try to install the sound manager application with the procedure described above.

Quick questions:
Is it customizable?
Doesn't seem to work very well on Diamond... when I do a restart it pop ups when I'm typing my Pin code... and then The icon is hiding 'behind' TouchFlo .. so I cant get to it... and nothing happens when I try to start it in the Start menu...
And I cant chose any alarm sounds....
Anyone else having problems with Diamond and SpoonAlarm?
ok
on ie not see the image but i can download it.
testing....
thanks
Ironically, I never heard of this program until yesterday and downloaded the previous version yesterday. It seemed call but it kept going off every 3 minutes. I said dismiss but it just kept going off so I uninstalled it. But it keeps going off, even though it's uninstalled. Thankfully it stopped for now, but I think it may happen again. How can it keep going if I uninstalled it?
Nice but I don't like the tray item. When launching the app for the second time it won't show up, you have to use the tray item. I use Throttle Launcher so the tray is hidden, which makes the app quite unusable.
SpoonAlarm 2.0
I think there are some issues with Diamond, a friend of mine already reported it's not working very well for him too.
I will check it out and try to fix the problem.
Can you explain the tray icon problem please?
Thanks!

Have a way to link it to the taskbar clock, or the user can create a shortcut in whatever launcher they use.
Thanks.
So I think what I will do is to give it as optional configuration.
Will update you as soon as it is fixed.
Gil.
I too hadn't heard about your program until today - and it seems great, except for the tray icon...
There are many places you can allow the user to place the icon:
Tray
Control Panel
Start Menu Panel (main)
Start Menu -> Programs
If you could create an option to allow the user to create a quick access shortcut in one or more of those locations, then I think you'll probably make everyone's day.
Other than that, the application looks much nicer and more powerful than the default WM clock/alarm utility. Great job!
Looks good , like to see the update with a short cut to. Thanks for your hard work .

Possible to set multiple alarms ?
Not working
I was looking forward to this program but it doesn't work for me.
a- I can't use the tray icon. I NEVER look at the today screen.
b- I can't select an MP3. It doesn't show any.
I need to be able to run it from a shortcut.
I am hoping it will work soon. I'll even donate $10 if it works.
Thanks,

Currently the default one does and any alternate alarm program I get must at bare minimum, have teh same features as the default alarm, plus of course the addition creature features. So multi alarm would have to be there in order for me to use it.
I am happy with the default alarm to be honest. My ONLY grief is the lack of MP3 support for setting the alarm sounds. The SpoonAlarm looks good but if teh curently functionality is missing at all then it does me no good and I will stick with the default alarm. I just have to convert MP3 sounds to wave and make sure they are in the windows folder, a pain but it works.
Is there a way SpoonAlarm can map to the alarm icon (next to the clock) in HTCHome? Looks like a good basic alarm app though. A lot of these alarm apps have horrible looking UI's with non touch friendly interfaces.
I'm a Windows Technician for PC, this is the first time I have jumped into the world of Windows Mobile. I bought a Imagio with Windows 6.5 from Verizon wireless and I'm trying to clean it up as much as possible "like I would my pc" and hopefully extend the life of my battery in the process. I installed SKTools and so far I have managed to lower memory usage to 50 %

Push internet was a new feature introduced that made it so pages you specify on the internet tab would automatically be downloaded in the background according to a schedule. When you visit the link on the internet tab, you bring up a cached (and reasonably updated based on schedule) version that loads much faster.
Disabling push internet disables your phone from downloading the pages, which results in better battery (less data transfer) and more memory (less instructions sitting in memory.)
So what have people been disabling...please specify the file instead of telling me like push internet..cause there isn't a file that says push internet. I've been trying to figure out what services, and startup programs I can do without. Thanks in advance!

Using Touch Commander you can select the exe file then go to File and >>>>>>>>> on the menu. Pick Create shortcut. Click on Tree and browse to \Windows\Startup and say OK. You now have a shortcut (.lnk file) to that exe in the Startup folder which will start on next boot.

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I am no where near the level of computer knowledge some of you guys have so be patient.
1) when looking for these programs, are you finding them in the file explorer?
2) if they are deleted, are then gone for good. I would hate to get rid of something and then realize I needed it cause if I screw it up, there is no way I am fixing it right back like some of you guys or gals can do.
My imagio though was running around 60% when I had sense UI on it, but with the HTC touch flo home screen on, it is running around 70-80% so getting it down will be a big help.
Thanks in advance.

I have deleted the Items you have recomended on my start up and it works good so far.
I Googled the services you have recommended and they seem to be of use, "I'm no expert on them" so I have left them for the time being.

I being using SKTools, is basicly a full suit of diferent tools, including one I would say resembles msconfig from Xp/Vista/Win7 where you can disable items and re-enable them in case you need too. I disabled TouchFlow and the TV Icon thing and that alone freed about 20% of memory.
Here is what I have. Even with Shozu running, I am running at about 57-60%

i am getting frequent force closes. anyone else experiencing it?
Anyone have the APK? I wanna push it to system/app. It won't install from the market for me (and I've already removed the old one, but not the launcher as instructed elsewhere).
Yeah, it's actually useful now! It's basically a big simplified configurable launcher now, which is good for car use, although I still don't get why they desaturate the icons, makes them hard to see. That's exactly what you don't want driving!
Anywho, so you can move icons around, add shortcuts, etc... And when you hit the home button it returns back to Car Home.. so makes it easy for me to put Waze, Gasbuddy, GeOrg etc all in the same place without poking through the launcher to do it.
We'll see how the "auto run on bluetooth" thing works I suppose, but there's that feature. So far I don't see my phone automatically connect to my BT GPS so not sure it'll automatically do anything here, but we'll see. None the less, seems like it might be useful now, wasn't before IMO.
This happens on my Nexus One with Android 2.2.1 stock (FRG83) when I use the QR code from the post above: I get a dialog telling me: "Not found: The requested item could not be found".
When I search on the market with the phrase "car home", I don't see any application from Google.
I'm located in Germany, maybe that is a problem?
To get it to install correctly on CM6...
Uninstall the Google Car Home app via Titanium Backup (I had 2 in Titanium Backup and uninstalled both)
Reboot
Install from Market
Open the Gapps zip file (mine was in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20100817-signed.zip) with Root Explorer (or similar) and extract the CarHomeLauncher.apk
Install CarHomeLauncher.apk from wherever you extracted it (mine was /sdcard/extracted/)
Enjoy!!!
if you have the google dock you dont need to add the launcher back into it
this is a very nice update. 4 screens to create shortcuts and i think it fixed a problem i was running into with using voice search, i had to speak very loudly when it was docked in the google car dock. it didnt seem like it would pick up my voice very well and now it does. i like how now when its docked it gives you the option when you "exit car dock" it lets you switch back to it from the notification bar. also love being able to access the android menu from the settings now. used to have to close out of the car home completely before.
Thx for the info. It works now. How about street view. I uninstalled it using titanium cuz when I tried downloading from the market it would fail at installation.
Your help is greatly appreciate.

Yeah, it's actually useful now! It's basically a big simplified configurable launcher now, which is good for car use, although I still don't get why they desaturate the icons, makes them hard to see. That's exactly what you don't want driving!
Anywho, so you can move icons around, add shortcuts, etc... And when you hit the home button it returns back to Car Home.. so makes it easy for me to put Waze, Gasbuddy, GeOrg etc all in the same place without poking through the launcher to do it.
We'll see how the "auto run on bluetooth" thing works I suppose, but there's that feature. So far I don't see my phone automatically connect to my BT GPS so not sure it'll automatically do anything here, but we'll see. None the less, seems like it might be useful now, wasn't before IMO.

Um, so I take some of it back.. the Automatic screen mode is no more than the current Auto screen, I was hoping it would be um... More for car?? Based on assumed sunlight, not the ambient sensor. So I still have to adjust the brightness in Tasker for navigation.
And the subued icons are just suck, they blend into the background too much.
ok so a friend did this flashing rooting or whatever for me and i now have android on my hd2...i LOVE IT but i have some issues...
first of all I miss the ''styles'' or ''themes'' on my phone, I only have the like16blocks cube looking menu on my home screen(in the middle) with left a phone icon and right a globe(internet)
I want the other version where you have some sort of actual menu like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I cant seem to change that or download it on the market so if i have to instal some sort of other android I'm fine with that cus i have this look...
second of all, I have KPN Hi(a provider) and they have this program ''funambol'' which allows me to store all my favs and contacts+Facebook linked contacts to their server online and sync it on my phone.
when i had winmo this worked great, when ever they updated their pic on fb the picture on my phone would also change which i really like!
I tried installing funambol on my android, worked but i cant seem to link the Facebook pictures..it just says something in the description like <HTCData><!--please do not modify-->>Facebook>id:65532 etc etc etc...not working
these 2 major problems are the only ones I can think of at the moment and it would be great if any1 could link me to a android version that does have that menu or tell me where to download it
oh the version i have
android : 2.3.2
kernel-version
[email protected] #26
build number
gingerbread HD2 V1.4
hope this helps you guys help me
merci!
You can't do the one in pic right now because that has sense. Gingerbread doesn't have sense up to date.
Sent from my HD2 Droid HD using XDA App
You would need to flash a sense based rom to get your phone like the picture but as the previous poster said it would need to be froyo and not gingerbread (not a big deal imo)......
As for the app problem, as I dont use it Im not entirely sure. Did you try to import a backup you made when you were using windows because "<HTCData><!--please do not modify-->>Facebook>id:65532" looks like the same information that winmo atttaches to contacts to link them with facebook and wont be recognised by android.
You'll probably have to associate them manually then create a new backup with the android version of the app......
You can always use ADW Launcher, GO Launcher or Zeam Launcher for a home screen replacement. There are themes designed for them.

Just run and sign into the Facebook app. It'll associate your Facebook account with the phone and you can set it to sync with your contacts.

Why do you have to delete your contacts? Facebook will link them - not create new ones.
Paying for market apps is more dependant on the country of origin of the app. Different countries allow different payment methods. It's not where you're from - it's where they're from. If it says you need to pay with credit card, then I'm afraid you need to pay with credit card.
There are solutions to this though. You can get debit cards that work in exactly the same way as a credit card, but they're pre-paid. It just gives you a working CC number.
damn you really are smart and help full thanks allot!
and i thought i had to delete them because now, their linked to a non-existent facebook winmo profile..cus at ''opmerkingen'' (i think that in english means comment or something) at a random contact it gives that HTC data please do not modify stuff...and deleting that takes more them then just making new contacts, unless if i add facebook to my phone it automatically deletes those comments..?
how do i make a screenshot? it would help me explain my situation more because my English is not the best

There's plenty of apps on the market for taking screenshots, but there's a good one simply called "screenshot" that's free.

This is a known issue with the default launcher of Elife E7. Whenever you quit an app (by sliding it away on the homescreen), the launcher force quits the app. So, if you close WhatsApp like this, you automatically turn off the notifications.
There are two ways to solve the problem:
1) Don't ever quit WhatsApp by sliding to clear it in the Navi launcher.
2) Use another launcher, like Nova Prime or so.

It still doesn't do that trick. Unless you keep opening it frequently, It will be killed in the background after a while. Really annoying.
One thing I tried to no avail is to install Xposed and install the 'App Settings' module and make Whatsapp a RESIDENT app. Still it will get killed.

Whats app on e7
i m also facing the same problem with my whats app on my gionee eife e7.
I'm not sure if this option could help, but try disabling that "Auto-clean" option under Power saving and it should stop closing processes like Whatsapp and others -

I also thought that might be it but It triggers if we enter power saving mode right? Such a confusing app. I never enable power-saving,
but hey! lets try it.
Maybe you guys can go to Developer Settings and increase the background process limit. Worth a try I guess.
I was quite interested in this phone but I've no clue about Gionee's service nor do I know if they will ever post OTA updates for the phone.

:good: Sure, I just got my phone delivered, but haven't opened the box yet. Let me know if that option works and WhatsApp works fine after disabling that.

I've heard (both internet and local word of mouth) that their service is good and improving day by day. Also you can check their twitter/FB account and I see many past devices getting updates over the air, so I don't think they would miss out any possible updates on their flagship phone :fingers-crossed:

Thats good to hear! I might just consider it, I'm just waiting to see some active development on this phone, it's got a beast of the cpu
A custom kernel and AOSP rom would make it fly
^^ You can check this thread to keep an eye on active development talks for this device -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649623
If you are a dev or know someone who can help, please ask him to provide his inputs on that thread. burakgon has kernel sources already and asking for more information what we should get from Gionee.
work around for it to work.
if you install go launcher.. whatsapp returns to its normal mode... tried and tested and using..
Solution

If you are still facing the problem, the solution is using GO Launcher or any other launcher instead of default. Once u make Go Launcher default it solved the isse and whatsapp is normal back to routine notifications. Let me know if works for u
Guys there is option of 'sync off' in the power manager app settings. Uncheck it and use any launcher push notifications will be there.
