Froyo Messaging - EVO 4G General

I was on a call and I got a text message and the ringtone for it went off at full volume, anyone else getting this? I'm on Fresh's rom but have seen this on stock sprint 2.2. It's pretty annoying!!!!

The only thing I can think of is you probably got your notification vol for messaging on high. You may have it set to say, ring + vibrate.

even then i don't think it's supposed to play the actual ring tone when you're on call..it only got to me because it got me in trouble at 3 am haha

Default notifications sounds and vibrate

Am I the only that thinks this? all day long I miss texts and emails when the phone is in my pocket because the rings and the vibrate (specailly the vibrate) are too soft and the vibrate is so short and soft.
anyone knows if we can make the vibrate last longer?
and also the screen feedback vibrate is kind of week...maybe I am use to using the app TouchAz..something.... in my WM diamond where I could control the length of the feedback(vibrate) when the screen was pressed and when it was realesed.
Right???
Other than that so far the Evo kicks A$$
I cant be the only one after more than 33 views that doesn't think the vibrate on this phone sucks, or the response from the screen....
Come on...
I actually prefer the smoother vibrate on this phone to the one on the Hero. Seems somehow nicer, even if it is slightly harder to detect.
Im sure many improvement to the apps and phone it self will come. But for now you can use Handcent Sms. You can control the vibrating pattern of SMS and MMS messages.

Go to handcent.com for any other downloads. I got the apk from there.
'missed reminder' in the market is great for repeating notifications...still wish it was built into android though
used in on the hero and just installed it today on the evo
Im sorry but the last two phones I had that actually featured haptic feedback had it wrong. This thing is like buttah...
Your notifications might be locked down to your ringtone volume, mine were by default so you might need to address that. -hope you get it sorted out.
Ok...now I know why I seem to think the vibrate is weak...is actually not vibrating at all for me. and i have checked in all the settings and they are all checked for "vibrate"
Anyone else's Evo not vibrating?
I tried putting the volume to vibrate to see if it works and it does vibrate that way but everytime i get an email or text it only sounds and not vibrate...
Damn.
Posting for later.
same here...it seems to have happened after i installed swype..but i hope thats not the problem
i use SMS POPUP to control sound and vibration for sms.
before I realized that the vibrate wasnt working at all I also downloaded an app like someone here adviced to control the notifications (handcent) but how can I control it if it isnt working....
the app is pretty cool btw.
going to the sprint store later to see what they say.

Did you check the settings within Handcent, and the Stock messaging app, and as well through Menu > Settings > Sounds & Display?
Just to confirm, yes when I change the notifications between vibrate and normal, those changes take place as they should. I'm on a non rooted device.

i was able to fix my vibrating problem with an app called sound manager
My Evo was not vibrating for text messages when i first got it. i fixed it by factory resetting

Twidroyd notifications

Does anyone else have the issue of twidroyd (and twidroid) pro playing the entire notification tone even after you select the icon and/or cleared it?
Will I just have to select a simple tone? I'm using ringo for the tone selection

I noticed this as well. At first I wasn't sure what it was. I would have my EVO in my pocket and all of a sudden music would start playing and I couldn't get it to stop without restarting my phone. Turns out Twidroyd had chosen one of my songs as its notification tone and every time I had a new mention, it would play the WHOLE song.

Notification Volume

So on every android phone, in the sound settings for ringtone, you can set it so that your notification and ringtone volume is the same (by checking off a little box). I font see this option on the phone and so when I lower my volume it only lowers it for the ringtone, not emails and texts etc. this is ANNOYING. is they're not a setting for this or is it just me?

It's extremely annoying, and my biggest issue I've had with the phone so far. Followed closely by no notification LED. Hoping to see fixes for both soon.
Okay, here's how.
As usual, Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone. Now that you have the notification ringtone list open, just press the volume key to adjust.
That's how you manually adjust the notification ringtone, as always. What we're missing is the option always in every other Android OS that allows you to match your notification volume automatically to your ringtone volume, allowing you to adjust everything at once by the hard keys on the outside of the phone. Without that option you bump your ringtone way down, for example to go in a meeting, then one of your notifications goes off full blast.
Okay, I see now. I haven't had an android phone in a month so I'm a bit rusty. Well here's a fix to that then. I can't do anything about it in the settings itself, but go to the market and download "Quick Settings." Open the app and go into volume control. On the top there is a check box for "Use Ringer volume for Notifications." Now it'll work.
That sucks big ones. I'll have to use audio manager till that issue gets fixed. This is why I hate non-stock android phones because manufacturers like htc, motorola, and samsung think they thought of everything but they always end up messing something up

Ummm......did you miss my second post? It fixes the problem.
Yeah since you posted a minute before me which means I was typing mine while you posted yours..but thanks! Awesome

I agree, this is the most annoying thing about the vibrant. (luckily its an easy fix)
Thanks for the suggestion on the "Quick Settings" app
damn, whats up with samsung phones just straight up missing **** that's included in android? I was googling for a way to block calls when I saw that android should be able to take any contact and send their calls straight to voicemail.. NOPE, not on my epic.. now the notification/ringer volume link is missing too?! WTF?
I'm having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.

Text messaging notification volume issue

I noticed a very annoying problem with this phone. When ever I set a tone for my messaging app the tone would play very loud and clear when I test it but when I actually get a text the volume drops by like 50%. I thought it was a problem with handcent but this happens when I use the default app too.

There is a separate notification volume in the sound menu. When testing, it uses your main volume and not the notification volume. Just go in and bump it up.
I did that before I put this post up still no dice

Yea it's a glitch on all Epic's. I actually called Samsung about this issue and they were clueless... Smh!

Ring once or meeting mode? How?

Is there a ring once or "meeting mode" for the ringer?
Uhhh stock? On a particular rom? There's not "profiles" unless you get a 3rd party app from the market, or I guess cm7 is about to incorporate something similar I believe
---------------------------------
xda + android + htc =
CM7 has profile support now, haven't used it myself but there's around 5 different profile settings I think, I would imagine one of them would do something like that.
I just want the ringer to ring once. I hate how the phone keeps ringing. I basically want a "notification ringtone for calls" my old phone when I lowered volume it would cycle through regular ringer,notification ring tone,silent, and vibration
