[Q] Anyone else have their notification selection crash? - Acer Iconia A500

I recently wanted to mess around with the notifications on my a500. I have created the appropriate folders on the sdcard area yet every time I try to select notification settings, either in settings or under gmail settings it just crashes. Anyone else getting this? I am on build acer_a500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2

Speed Dial occasionally is empty

I have set up a bunch of speed dial entries. From time to time, this list is empty apart from the top item (voicemail). Anyone else had this problem, or know how to stop it from happening?
Is there a quick way to set this up (e.g. backup/restore) as it's a bit annoying having to select each entry manually when they've all disappeared.
Thanks...

[Q] Installed LauncherPro and no more text notifications

Hey guys,
I had to start from scratch after too many freezes, forced reboots, & instabilities with my Vibrant. I reinstalled LauncherPro and in the LP Preference Settings, I checked the 'Unread SMS count' setting in Dock Settings and I get no more system notifications & sounds when I receive new text messages. It shows the unread messages ok in the LP Dock, but no sound or any sign of the new message in the Notification Bar. I tried unchecking 'Unread SMS count' to see if that fixed it, but no go. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Somewhere in the Settings menu?
Thanks!
I'm running 2.1 Stock with Root and ext2 lagfix. Using stock Messaging app.
Moderators: Please delete this thread.
Figured it out. Moderators: Please delete this thread. Thanks!
What was it?
Haha - I/O
I was looking for the Samsung Messaging settings while I was in a thread. I just had to back out to the main screen of the Messaging app to find the settings. Then checked the 'Notifications' setting and it was all good. I/O, lol!

miniCM and default notification ringtone issue

Hi,
I'm having the following issue with miniCM6 release 1.0.0 and I also had it with lizypen's stable 2.2.1 ROM (based on miniCM also):
The default ringtone for notifications is a horrible sound called 'Terrible Twos'. I have tried to change it in Settings -> Sound -> Notification ringtone and apparently the ringtone is changed, however whenever a new notification comes in (e-mail, SMS, aynthing) the Terrible Twos sound pops up again and no ringtone appears selected in Settings. I use Handcent SMS, that allows to 'test' the notification settings and when I test it the behavior is normal (i.e. the ringtone that I selected appears as the default) but when an actual SMS comes in the Terrible Twos sounds again.
So what I had to do is to manually set a notification ringtone in every application that generates notification (SMS, GMail, the 'other' e-mail, Calengoo, etc. etc.), thus overriding the default. However this is no solution for me, because sometimes I discover a new application that generates notifications and I have to go and set it again. And there is the FM radio, that generates a notification whenever a new favourite station is set and that notification ringtone cannot be set so is always the system default
Is there something wrong with my phone or somebody else has noted this too?
Regards
Bump!!
Am I alone with this little but annoying problem?
once i have that problem my solution was use root explorer and copy my own music on sdcard/media/audio/notifications and then i was able to select my songs form settings and notifications
Or may be getting rid of that ringtone via root explorer may help. No experience, but just a thought!
Thanks a lot gabo_10!
Apparently the system default ringtone has to reside in the memory card to work properly.
karefri, I haven't tried deleting it, because I don't know where it is! There is no 'Terrible Twos' in /system/media/audio, where all ringtones are.
Regards
Well, I moved my preferred notification sound to the sd card but the problem persisted...
HOWEVER, I switched to Elelinux and the problem is gone! It's a very nice ROM!

SGS4 default ringtone issues.

Whenever I go to change ringtones or notification sounds, it keeps showing me "Choose path" and I can't locate it because it won't let me go into the system directory. Also when clicking on ringtones or notifications it should pop up a menu with a list of default musics to choose from, but mine doesn't...
This is driving me crazy, please help guys! thanks!
I'm seeing this problem on a friend's phone. Did you manage to fix it?

OREO and WhatsApp popup

After OREO Beta update I can't disable the annoying WhatsApp popup (showing on top of screen) , somehow the app override my settings config.
I disabled notification on settings - app settings - WhatsApp messages
But after someone send me a message and the annoying popup shows up and the settings went back to default.
Only me??
Same here... Very annoying... Can anyone help?
Tks in advance
do you mean the white head-up notification? if yes:
1) enable usb debugging in dev.settings
2) adb devices
3) to disable all heads-up: adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
4) to enable all heads-up: a db shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
Do I need to root my phone to do this?
Guys, I still haven't solved this... Anyone can help? I had to disable all whatsapp notification... This does not make sense at all... Oreo is bugged as hell!!! Please help!

Can't you add the app to game tuner or game launcher (not sure which one) and disable notifications?
I guess it at least works when whatsapp is open.
The only way to solve this is installing an older whatsapp version (prior to oreo) ... I did it and now is working perfectly...
There is a bug with whatsapp and the notifications channels...
there is no error, and google does not do something without being able to customize its options and more referring to notifications.
To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen).
I hope that is the solution that several users are looking for. Greetings.
Anyway to disable notification bar contents as well or disable notification bar in general and get some sort of icon on the top showing there is something to whatsapp related.. going to be honest my wife sometimes sends me some subjective material and I don't want the world to see.
Notification seeting reverts back
Hi
I followed the steps
"To disable the pop-up window go to "Settings> Notifications> (go down until you find whatsapp) enter> enter group notifications and message notifications> importance> select" High "(which is just sound).
By default it is in Urgent (which is sound and pop-up window on the screen)."
But when the next WhatsApp message come in it reverts to Urgent by itself , even if you turn off notifications completely.
Same for others?:
Same thing here. I've done that countless of times. Instead of Urgent, I set it to low because I don't want any sound, and for sure not that super annoying dropdown notification that appears on screen.
All I want, is a little whatsapp symbol on top letting me know there is a message, or if customized that way, a blinking light when a message comes in. Silent.
But to no avail, it always gets back to "Urgent".
I'll try medium now.
Anyone found a solution for this? I have the same issue, soon as i get a whatsapp message it reverts the notification settings! So frustrating!
EDIT: Okay I found something that works for me. In the Settings > Notifications > Whatsapp, I set the profile to be "High", and it hasn't overwritten my changes yet, no popup anymore.

Couldn't find the same importance level under the WeChat setting mentioned sad, why is that some app like WhatsApp has these setting while others don't
No matter what I do I still get the pop up notifications once I receive a new message
Setting the Importance to 'High' worked for me to stop WhatsApp heads up. I have Samsung Note 8 on Oero 8.0.
Thank you thank you thank you. Been doing my head in since getting my Note 8.
can anyone post the whatsapp version pre oreo that doesn't have the notification bug issue?
Setting the importance to "high" solves part of the problem since it disables pop-ups. But that doesn't solve the vibration/sound problem...
Setting it to "medium" or "low" doesn't work since it will revert back to "high" after the next message I receive.
So there's currently no way to solve this : I either get full notifications from WhatsApp (vibration on each message, including group messages, okay no pop-up but 300 vibrations per day is quite annoying), or I disable all WhatsApp notifications and then I don't get anything... Retarded design
It's seriously bugged as hell... Was super fine in Nougat (using Galaxy S7 edge)
Ok
Hasn't this been solved yet? Why the hell does WhatsApp override the settings in the notification channels after you change them? How can this even be allowed by the OS?
I've been facing the same issue for months. I want my group chats to be set to "low" importance and my private messages to "high", which works perfectly fine with Telegram. But WhatsApp keeps reverting the settings no matter what I do.
Any way to solve this?
Exact same problem here, super annoying.
