SMS notification problem on my BA

Hey everyone,
I've been using sucesfully Helmi's great ROM kitchen for WM 6 for my BA and, once again I have to congratulate to The Man for building such a good ROM and extending the life of our good old BA's.
I have one problem though, which is something I run in here and there around this forum and that is the SMS notification. For some reason, my BA does not ring and/or vibrate when SMS arrives when the phone is in power-off mode, with option "lock all buttons except power button". Only when I turn it on, I get the notification that the SMS has arrived. It is really annoying, and so far I was unable to do anything related to this. Does anyone have an idea, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot

any solution?i tried smileySMS but here the status led isnt working....
pleease help!

Same problem here. I only get an SMS notification when a 2nd message comes in. The 2nd one is usually my girlfriend fuming why I haven't replied to the first message

Phone won't properly switch from vibrate to sound

at&t 8525 owner, here.
So, I've had this issue for a little while now after I flashed Shadow TE ROM. But it's continued since then... so here's the issue:
I go into work and turn the phone onto vibrate. After I leave work, I switch back to sound on (ring & vibrate). Even though the icon shows the sound is back on, it's not. It only vibrates. It acts as if the speaker is still asleep.
So for awhile I'd have to reset my phone every day to get it working again until I realized I can go into sound settings / notifications and I find that the phone's jumped back to the default ringtone and more than that, I have to literally push PLAY to test the sound in order for the speaker to "wake up" if you will. Then the phone's fine until the next day.
Ok so back to present:
I got fed up and thought it was Shadow TE. So I flashed CRC's v9.2 ROM. Still had the same speaker issue! I was advised to flash a shipped rom.... which I did.... and flashed CRC's v11. Issue still remains.
I've searched the board and could only find one other person make mention of this a couple years ago and no one ever addressed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.

Same problem here with a custom Titan ROM. Installed the same software as every other ROM that I've used so the problem must be in the ROM somewhere.

Could be... but why does no one else seem to have this issue? Wouldn't there be tons of people replying here?
I did find that instead of switching it to vibe when I arrive at work, I switch it to silent... and SOMETIMES when I go back to Sound it works ok for a few hours but then it goes back to silent without warning so I miss calls and texts a lot. Might as well force the sound back on through Notifications Menu anyway. I'm SO getting away from Windows Mobile ASAP.
As soon as the Blackberry Bold is released here in the US, I'm buying it.... unless something about it disappoints me, in which case I'll settle for the iPhone 3G. The Bold can't come soon enough.
Who would like to claim this Hermes when I'm through with it? What are you willing to pay?

Try making sure that your ringers are in the windows\rings folder. Saw it somewhere else and it seems to be working.

Hmm... I tried putting them in, like, 4 places... but none of them seemed to be that location. I'm doing it now and I'll test tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.... i hope it works.

Don't know what to tell you then. Make sure you're not running any 3rd party software.

why are notifications so slow?!

Hi all,
I've been trying not to let this bother me too much but it just does. Why, when we've come so far with mobile technology, are basic things like this still not done properly?! specifically:
1. my hero doesn't actually start ringing for at least 3 rings on the callers side? this it might not seem much but is almost 10 seconds that the caller is waiting before I know about it. By the time I do and get to the phone I will almost miss the call.
2. this may be a handcent problem but I don't get the trackball flashing 2-3 seconds and the actual audio notification for 5-10 seconds.
-
l just want these things to feel instant and zippy. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so considering this handset can show me which constellation I'm looking at and that there is a 'titty/tapas bar 500 yds that way'.
Is there anything I can do to improve these fustrations?
Don't get me wrong, I think the handset is generally great but don't want a 'Jack of all trades, master of nothing'.
R,ant over.

Hi,
I get the same problem with my phone not registering a call for atleast 10 seconds and usually missing calls, it's very annoying!
Something I've found that helped me was to prolong the time it takes before the caller is sent to your voicemail i.e. your phone SHOULD ring for longer before the caller gives up...
Search the forums for the code you need to enter to prolong the time period (I think it's 30 seconds).
Hope this helps...

It depends on the rom your running.
For example the latest VillainRom rings instantly now but always used to be quite delayed.

the handset is very well aware of the incoming call, it just takes a few seconds to ring and display the call. when you are listening to music you will notice that it stops, then after a few seconds it will start to ring. try to use .ogg ringtones, apperantly that makes it better.

I'm using Modaco 3.2 and have always had this issue since upgrading from the Stock rom months ago!
Are you saying that the latest Villain ROM (based on 2.1) fixes this issue?
So in theory this problem should be rectified once 2.1 is officially released??!

yes it seems to be fixed in VillainRom 5.2 or its certainly a lot better than it was.
This fix was something the Dev (Nathan) did I think so official 2.1 may still have the problem

Interesting!
I guess I'll wait until 2.1 is released and see if that fixes the problem otherwise I'll be switching to the Villain ROM based on the official 2.1!
Cheers for the info Lenny...

Insanity

Hello Everyone!
I just want to say some words about my experience with Insanity.
I got my sgs ~3 months ago and i tried a almost all the cooked roms.
I started with darky, that was the first I've installed then I found this forum and tried almost everything(only GB roms).
but I sticked to insanity cause thats all i want very simple only a few apps are installed and its kinda fast.Then I realized that this blueish screen is awful. I started to look after kernels with voodoo color. first i tried glitch that caused my first BSOD i was very scared but I then i was able to fix it. Then I used Fugumod for a while that was allright original CM led notifications worked perfectly it was fast but I had some problems like when I charged my phone the screen became funny i have to pull off the cable to be able to write a sms message. Then the new neo18 kernel came out that's almost perfect led notifications work voodoo color gives amazing screen and until now my only problem is when I'm outside so the temperature is low like minus 1-5 the android.com process gives FC and I cant see my contacts.
So i really like insanity as a rom but i want to hear others experience about it.
So far my problems are:
Viber stopped working i dont know why i cant remember what change made it cause lot of things happened changed to new insanity cm51 as i remember new viber came out. I can't get it work with stock fugu or neo kernel
The other big problems is sometimes when i answer a call they cant hear me or i cant hear them for the first time then i call them back and everything works fine.
Can somebody give me any advice to solve these problems?
please dont be rude I'm not a complete noob but Im not a developer either.
Thank for anyone who helps
PS.: if you give me any advice whats the best kernel for insanity in your opinion i will be happy

Incoming call ISSUE.

Hello guys. I have proble with my p7000 and incoming calls. Sometimes the incoming call just bug whole phone. I can't recieve the call and I have to put out the battery. It's really annoying. And also, I don't see who called me in call history. I've made factory reset, but it didn't help. Also I updated my firmware to the version 20150807 but this bug is still here.
Absolutely same problem has man on this video. /watch?v=c588Clm67ME
Please help me.
/Sorry for bad English/

I had the same issue, try the November update from Stock or the Miui rom (the new one, not the one created the day the phone was out), I didn't had the glitch with those 2. I'm trying to know from what that problem come from but I'm far from being an expert sadly. That problem is on all the stock roms except the first and the one from November. All the roms based on stock got that issue (even those based with the November update strangely !?) so I guess it's something related to the voltage or something...

Thank you. So do you think, that ROMs like cyanogenmod doesn't have this issue? I almost can't use my phone... Today it happened to me again, but not on incoming call, but on alarm clock. So it has to be something with sound/soundcar/voltage of reproductors or something like that.. I am not expert so I am not sure.

The best is to test it. First install TWRP then make a backup of your current rom then install that rom : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-8425-1-1.html#.VlyDufkvdhF and see if that problem occur again. Personally I had no issue with the November rom for the P7000 so I'm staying on that one for now, even the root doesn't mess up anything... If that occur with alarm that might be a problem with the sound board/card then I had the same issue, when I get a call, the sound was looping, screen staying black, had to or remove the battery or long long press on the power button.
Hope that will help you !
PS : The november rom is here : http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9111-1-1.html#.VlyFPPkvdhE but you need a working flashtool for that one (you need flashtool for a custom recovery too anyway).

solved - cant receive incoming calls 4g'
I know this is an old thread but I have just had this exact same problem and after WEEKS of googling and determination I have found the fix to this problem..
I'm posting it because as I was googling I found that there are still hundreds of people experiencing this today.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone..
Then scroll down and you will see a small down arrow next to "Set proffered network type"
Choose LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (prl)
Also, you might need to check one other thing.. On the same screen go to top right ":" drop down nav menu settings shortcut and "Select Radio band" - do this if the 1st change hasn't fixed your incoming calls problem.. You can experiment with AUS, AUS2 or Automatic etc and try again.
I was about to throw this new Elephone S3 back to China but it's all great now
Hope this helps someone
