I did get a HD2 today while I've been using HTC Hero (android) for about 4 months.
Now CAN I get some sort of sms-popup or preview in the lockscreen when I get a sms? I hate the way to go to the sms now, I want to see it directly when I get it aswell as I want the screen to turn on!
If this can't be possible on this phone, then well will hand this biggy thing back to the store!

Thx so much haha! I didnt scroll down to Message.
ok i see what the man wants and i did what the others said. heres the problem. it flashes up the msg preview for all of 5 seconds while its awake but if on standby i only get a blink of it b4 the lockscreen takes over... the lockscreen is mahoosive with 1 lil slider so wheres the option for the preview to be part of the lockscreen ie. preview to stay on there unill unlocked.. is this possible cus altho this thread taugt me something new its pointless if the preview blinks in my pocket and when i come to have a quick check of my screen its just the tap/slide new msg slider again as before... hmmmmm helpage!
I think what he's after is something similar to the S2U2 option to view unread SMS/MMS/Email etc while the screen is locked... Personally I don't think its possible with the native lockscreen, but I'd love to be proven wrong...

sort of, right my last phone was a c902 and if the keypad was locked and u got a txt it would pop up a window stating who its from and the 1st line of the txt and if u didnt notice you had a txt but took it out of your pocket say 10 mins later and just clicked a button to wake it up but not unlock the keys the window, ya know just quickly checkin it see if your popular lol, that window would still be there... then ya can either unlock and read or put strait back in ur pocket to read later... its soooooo simple it should be standard. the preview thing on here is only really useful for when im browsing like now iv just had a txt and i know who its from lol but on the lockscreen if you test it out it littery just flashes.grr lol

oh yea baby that works a treat! much better and bigup respects man lol all is goo now
question from first post was solved, but i dont want to create another topic, because my case is connected.
anybody knows if there is any possibility to get sth like it was in wm5 during receiving sms ?
ok, now i can have a popup, great, but only with one key - LHK (Hide) ...
on wm5 i had RHK with options like: save as read, delete, reply
and im missing that option very much ... cause when i get delivery report im unable to delete it at once ... i must go to htc messages, open it and delete ...

How did you get that upper taskbar? Is there a cab or something? I'd like to give it a try. perhaps you could share the cab and instructions?
Thanks a lot.
I am new to Android and loving my Aria so far. The only thing that is really bugging me is the text input. I am having a little separation anxiety from my keyboard and it seems like I must be missing something. First I am using the swype keyboard but I don't think that is related to my question.
When you enter text into any input, say the body of an email in the gmail app, is there an easy way to go back and edit that text? I often find myself tapping 5 or 6 times to try to get the cursor back to the exact place that I need to edit and it gets really frustrating? On the iPhone when you want to edit text a search window pops up where your finger is and you can slide it back and forth to find the exact spot that you are looking for. Is there anything like this for Android?
Thanks for any feedback.

Slide your finger over the little track pad between the menu and back button at the bottom of the phone. (Its the small silver circle). I think some people think that is the microphone but its not.

Aaah. I did know that was an optical input but I did not even think of it. I rarely use it since scrolling and selecting is so easy.
Thanks,

Yes i hate trying to get the cursor back to edit a word glad someone asked
never thought about using the trackball sure makes things lot easier
Optical TrackPad FTW!
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Even better than the optical trackpad, Smart Keyboard has an arrow layout option that let's you navigate text way faster. The board is real nice too.
In zips creamed glacier rom (all versions)
when you go to the settings option for the messaging app
there is an option to show gesture trace then the sensitivity right under it
so i enable it and go back to messaging and it shows a yellow line when you swipe your finger where the messages appear.
does anyone know how we can set certain gestures do have certain functions?
or what the heck its used for
i know some devices and tabs have gestures but thats on apps and the home screen where you make a circle and it takes you to music app or something
but this is only in the messaging app.
any info would help
guess no one knows then?
ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
me too
I have a similar problem after flashing my ATT Captivate to Serenddipity 7. When I use the text messaging app a yellow line appears wherever I slide my finger. It goes away after a few seconds. Is it related to the Swype keyboard settings?
edit: found it, messaging app has setting for gesture trace....uncheck this. Problem goes away.

its not a PRoblem for me i just want to know what it is used for.
im thinking maybe you can circle an object then while keeping your finger down on the screen draw a letting representing what you want to do with the circled object or word.
but that doesnt work i don't know how to set it up.
its unchecked by default. i checked the box to get the feature but i dont know how to use it.
my question was what is it used for
same question. searching online turned up nothing X_X

Hope this helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28306765&postcount=53021
As I explained in that thread to another user, the gestures are used to call upon premade message templates. You can set up those in the same Message app settings.
I searched and your thread came up and it seems you didn't found an answer either.
:good:

Thanks! Couldn't find this until I saw your post.
OnePlus One's screen has some bugs. One them is BACON-347 (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-347) The first touch in any location while a phone call, pulls down the notification panel. This app can fix notificaiton panel opening problem while a phone call.
Immersive mode without root or xposed mode. Now it is possible to prevent this bug FOREVER.
Please remember that this app only work during phone call. If you have other touch screen issues please report that bugs to OnePlus.
Until this post 1000+ users installed and 89 of them gave 4.66 point for review. According to Flurry, this app fixed this problem more than 221,000+ times (5k in a day).
What is the problem: The problem is shown in the BACON-347 (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-347). There is some ghost touch above status bar which cause to open notification panel. After first touch to screen, phone assume that these two touches releated (Your touch and ghost touch) and tell to system there is a slide from first touch to second one. This action opens the notification panel. But if the second touch is for hang up to call phone cant do that because it assume that you want to open notification.
How this app works: During a phone call, this app put a view above status bar and absorbs the effect of ghost touch(When this happened, fix count increase) After user's first touch, if user try to hang up call, app assists user and close the call. But if user touch any other position other than close button, app closes and dont open the notification panel. That is all.

*This app is only trying to reduce effects of BACON-347. It is not a permanent fix. You can watch this bug's state from BACON-347*
*This app is only for OnePlus One*
*This app has no guarantee to fix problem. It can be different at every single phone*
*This app is not fix for screen driver*
You can follow that problem at BACON-55 (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-55)
This app is open source;

yes i was always wondering what the issue was. I will definitely give this a try.
It works sometimes to well
I have been using this app for probably about a week now. I can confirm that it works and has solved issues like when trying to end a call the notification bar comes down covering up the end call button so I dont end the call. The downside is if like you multitask a lot when on the phone and you need to pull the notification bar down it can be a pain. The app basically stops touch responses on the top left of the screen, so if you there is something you actually need to touch up there you have to disable the app. Which is easy enough just gets annoying. However I have discovered if you need to pull down your notification bar while in a call you can still do so by pulling down on the top right corner to pull down the quick toggles and then flip over to the notification area.
TL;DR - App works well and is worth it if constantly have issues with notification bar getting in the way when trying to end a call or it comes down after ending a call. Not without its flaws though if you multitask while on the phone.

What do you think if i put a button on screen for disable apps effects during call? Do you think it can be useful?

I think that would be great and helpful myself. As I said at times I must take get to the notification bar while on a call at times, which as I said I discovered if you pull down on the right for the quick toggles and flip over to notifications works. Not sure if it is possible as I do not do app development or if others would agree with me, but for me an option to disable whenever speaker phone is enabled and then enable again once taken off speaker phone would also work. As I find myself putting the phone on speaker whenever I need to multitask to the point that might require me to open up the notification bar.
Otherwise I find the app extremely useful as I said in the post before, appreciate your work.
I would recommend xposed force immersive module. Enable it on com.android.incallui and voila no sliding statusbar. It makes the incoming call fullscreen and you can not touch statusbar with your ear.

I updated app yesterday and add immersive mode without root or xposed. Now it is possible to prevent this bug forever.
Just tested this with a few calls, and it worked well.
Will continue to monitor. So far so good.
Thank you!

With the last Cyanogen OS 12 update for OnePlus One I verified that the bug still exists in Lolipop. I am wondering if it exists in OxygenOS.

Hi All,
Ever since I got the Oreo update on my S8 a couple of days back, I am not able to set custom text tones for individual contacts.
This was available, and extremely useful, on Android 7. Does anyone know how to enable this? I'm on Stock ROM. No Root, nothing customised.
Thanks.
I was on the beta and rely on this a lot as I have dual sim for work and home so it's a must for me to have different tones per contact, however, during the beta Samsung removed it and I raised it as an issue. Every beta update that came out I kept raising it as an issue, at one point I got a bit irate and they actually replied saying the beta wasn't over yet and new features are always being added. Anyway, final Beta came out and still no custom tones per contact, so I have ended up installing the google messenger app that does allow you to do this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging). However, the settings are configured within the messenger app and not stored against the contact like they were previously.
I upgraded from the Note 8 to GS9+ and lost ability to assign contact specific text notification sounds. This is a downgrade since many people found this feature useful prior to Oreo. I too installed Android Messages just to restore this feature. This needs to be fixed to work with the phone's default messaging app instead of forcing people to download additional apps to get this feature. Big mistake on Oreo developers part.
Samsung (or Google...or whomever), I just want you to know how unhappy I am with this so called Oreo update! Really?? You take away the text tone notifications?? That really sucks! Now I am being forced to download a 3rd party app (which you guys won't support) in order to get that feature back?!?!?! This is a BIG disappointment. I feel that I have been let down! You guys could have kept all the features like GIF and all of the other things you added. They are not half as important to me as the individual text tones were! SMH! I may have to switch over to iPhone. Yes! That's how upset I am about this!
I switched from iPhone to android for all the bonuses. This feature is one I have always used and now it's been taken away??? Back to iPhone I go.
GARBAGE!!
This is absolute CRAP!!! I got the update late last night on my GS8+ and realized immediately this morning with my 1st text that something had changed. Started digging and discovered the feature was gone...IRATE doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this!! The feature NEEDS to be readded!!!!
So glad I found these posts! I have digged through my phone for a week now after the update trying to find how to change the tones for my important contacts! So annoyed I cant change this! Why would they do that!!! I don't care about updated emojis, I have had the same text tone for my finance for 2 years and now it's a default tone! So now I have to look at my phone every time, instead of knowing exactly who is messaging me !! Annoyed
I fail to understand the horror you are all expressing. Now is the perfect time for you to check out Textra. Forget the stock messaging app, you can not only customize your tones, but also color of notification icons, colors in chats, background images, type of notifications {heads up, floating, normal, etc.}. The advantages are numerous. Besides, isn't this the exact reason most of us use Android? If you don't like a stock app, there are enough options to replace it, you find something better.

I downloaded Textra and do not see an option that fixes the problem. I find this a big step back as I used the feature to make it easy to identify if my wife or kids were texting me.

Thanks got it. Liking the ability to customize a lot wth this. It is a shame it won't let you pick a custom background but it is making it easy to tell at a glance who I am chatting with.

You can set custom bubble colors, if that helps. I never even used the stock messaging app. I like using custom notification colors with custom led colors and sounds, so I know even when my phone is muted and the screen off.
Another option is to download a soundboard, I have an samsung s8 and I updated to oreo and downloaded a metal gear soundboard and it works great!
Fix
Download Android Messages and do the following;
Tap the Conversation you wish to set a custom notification for.
Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Tap People & options.
Tap Notifications.
Tap Sound.
Tap your desired tone.
Tap Save.
