Keep finding new things out - messages / calls - Galaxy S I9000 General

Every now and then I find some new stuff that I have not seen documented (probably just missed it though)
Looking at your contacts list; or the people you have sent messages to, press and slide to the right and the colour changes to green to call, slide to the left and the colour changes to orange to message.

I've noticed it a while ago
In contact list you can slide your finger on the left to see letters and if you go to the left while doing it it will show 2 letters instead of one

Missed call notification

The notification box comes up, but only for a while. After that there is only the single line on Home screen.
Is there a fix to keep it until manually dismissed?

You mean the "Miss call notification" icon at the top bar? It stays there until you open up call history, and see the missed call.
No, azahidi, I did not mean that.
When I miss a call, I get "1 missed call" text on the Home screen in the line above the Calendar. The green LED also flashes. That stays on until I do something.
About 3 seconds later, a large white notification box appears at the bottom. That only stays for several seconds and disappears. I would like it to stay until I dismiss it.
For older people, using the phone without reading glasses, the larger the notification the better. With my distance glasses on, it is not that easy to see the icons. Specially outdoors.
Anyway, this is not very important, but if it was possible to do, I would do it.

Sorry Joe, I musunderstood you. Now I understand what you wish. I am not sure if that's possible at all. I customised the "Missed Call" icon at top bar to be in bright red round background.. a bit better than white.
I suppose I will have to get used to the flashing LED.
Can it be made to flash faster?

TMO US: Missed call notification not showing up above calendar on home screen.

I've searched and couldn't find an answer so here goes:
I bought 2 HD2s on release day. One had data connection problem and I returned it for a new one. The second has been fine, but I came to realize that the large "Missed Call" notification doesn't show up above the calendar. I'm not talking about the small indicator at the very top of the phone. I can't figure out if user error is the cause here (i.e. did I hit an option I didn't mean to?). Any ideas?
No one? This does seem to be a bizarre bug and I cant imagine it is truly a bug in the Sense stock TMOUS rom. I must have changed something about notifications settings somehow. Any thoughts?
Do you mean how on older phones with the older touch flo 3d like the Touch HD, have that Call History button which turns into 1 missed call if you have a missed call?
Then no its not meant to be there, they took it out (stupid yes). If you want it back, go the themes and apps section and download cookies home tab 1.7, you can add it there aswell a boatload of other features.
Oh! you mean this was an option from cookie? I have it installed on mine but not my wife's phone. I'll try this out!
And yes, what I meant was when you miss a call, a large notification gets popped in the middle of your screen right over the calendar. Thanks!

HELP PLEASE! Text and In-Call Issues on HD2

I have the TMOUS HD2 and I am having 2 problems and I want to see if anyone else is either experiencing this or if it's just my phone.
On SENSE SMS messages, the keyboard will auto deploy and I will begin to type or Swype and nothing will show, unless I select or highlight the last message and then refocused on the blank area of my current message and then it will show. It's almost as if the screen doesnt redraw the text as I input it. It's VERY annoying.
When I'm in a call, and pull the phone away from my face, the screen will come on, but I can't press or access any button on the dialpad (Eg, Red Endcall or Keypad button) but I am able to press all of the hardware buttons and go to the home screen of Sense and do everything else on the phone. This is really frustrating, because I call my bank and I can't use the touch tone features to access my account or put a caller on hold and do the other features while on a call.
I would just like to know if these are isolated incidents that I'm just experiencing with my HD2, or is there a solution to theses issues. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys.

I think that's just something you have to deal with, I used to get it on the O2UK stock 1.43 ROM after installing the hotfix (I assume it's cooked into the TMOUS ROM). After installing Windows Mobile 6.5.x I haven't come across the issue.

This is a known bug that we all have. When you start typing, sense is busy loading all your txts from that contact, and when it has finished loading them it auto focuses on the last text. During that time you cannot see what you are typing, though it is still being typed. When you then select the text input area your typing appears.
The fix is to not have many texts saved.

you have either bsbtweaks "increase tap time" tweak turned on, or the increase taptime cab from the hints tips thread.
This tweak stops the incall screen from registering presses. Turn it off.
These are both very common, and there must be a few hundred threads asking the same questions.
The BST thing fixed the call problem I was having. And imma try to clean out the sms message to regain speed. Thankyou VERY much Samsamuel and Kalavere! Luv ya like a play cousin!

Issue with new SMS/Text Notification - Postcard icon

Hi,
I am hoping that you could help me with these.
The first is a minor issue while the second is really starting to annoy me.
When I get a new SMS/text message, the normal yellow envelope appears in the notification bar. I drag down the notification bar and read the text message. However, if I just press the menu key to exit the messaging application, the yellow envelope stays there. However, if I exit out using the back key, the yellow envelope disappears.
As of about 10 mins ago, when I get a SMS, I now get the yellow envelope and a second white envelope about 2 seconds later. The white envelope will only disappear when I press the Clear button in the Notifications bar.
I cannot figure out how to get rid of the second white notification envelope.
Edit: I have since realised that it is in fact a postcard icon.
I've noticed this feature too...it doesn't seem to clear the notification unless you drill right into the text message...ie click on the speech bubble.only then will it register as being read.bit annoying but can cope with it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Did you instal any 3rd party messaging clients? I have never seen the white envelope before
think the white envelope is an e-mail

I can defo put up with this alright. By the way, you don't have to drill right down into the message. Just pressing the back button to exit out of the message is sufficient to clear down the yellow notification envelope
It is the second, the white notification icon, that is driving me mad. I can only get this to clear when I press the Clear button.
I just looked at it closer. The icon is actually a postcard.

I am pretty sure that I haven't. I just looked at it closer. The icon is actually a postcard.

I assumed too but it triggering everytime I get text message.
I figured out that it was "Beautiful Widgets: Pack 2" that was causing the problem.
thank you so much, because this was driving me crazy... i had reset my phone like 5 time because of this

using touch button lights for notification?

Hi I know there is an excellent app out which allows a little red square to appear on the screen when you get a notification.
I miss a notification led but was thinking could the lights for the touch buttonds be used instead, I was thinking used the menu button for email/text messages and the back button for missed calls as they kind of look like the right sort of symbols anyway, plus the screen wont need to be turned on at all ( the screen does produce some light when it is only a black background)
I will be taking tomorrow off work to attempt to learn android and possible make a simple live wallpaper but if anyone can point me in the right direction I may look at doing this also
a simple search pops up the original topic
