remove dropped call notification

When my signal fades, I get a beep and then an annoying message saying the signal faded and the call was lost. Not once did I not know that the call was lost. The beep doesn't bother me, and I saw how to get rid of the sound. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of the message. I hate dismissing messages that I don't want in the first place.
Anybody know how to do this?

ive never heard of this. maybe its time to get on a network that doesnt drop calls haha
the only thing i could think of would be to check your notifications settings and see if there is one in there

when you find out let me know because it is annoying

I work in the largest brick building in the district of columbia metropolitan area (so I've been told). 15 stories, and pretty wide. I don't think any network gets through all the concrete. So of course I can't resist calling my wife as I walk from one part of the building to the other. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly which areas are safe to walk and talk, hence the lost signal.

Yes, the notification settings. I wish I thought of that. Oh, wait a minute. I did think of that. I also thought about the phone settings. And searching for it. I thought I would try that too before starting the thread.
Today I thought about searching through the registry for "phone", and came across an interesting setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\ ShowSignalFade = dword:00000001
I thought I would switch it to zero. I just walked around my building and lost a call. I got the beeping, but no notification. I think this may be the answer.

sorry i even tried to help, dude.
your sarcasm is not appreciated here especially when people go out of their way to help you out.

Suggesting that I change networks is not helpful. As far as the sarcasm, I apologize for any ill feelings. I was kinda put off with network comment. In any case, I think my previous post indidcates a fix, at least in my case.

Some oddities with the Touch HD - 3 Questions.

Hi there,
I've recently had someone ask me how to resolve the following issues on the Touch HD.
End key, when set to lock the handset, isn't.
Ringtone ending too quickly, so the ringtone stops ringing, but the caller still hears ringing and the call can be answered (this is also happening on my HTC Hermes).
The other thing is, where the handset is shutting off overnight, meaning the person who owns the phone misses the alarms which were set, due to it being off.
Is there anything I can say to this person to sort these problems?
Thank you,

I think more people are inclined to answer you if you put a topic of note on your post.
"Some" doesn't really cut it does it.
As for your issues...perhaps the ring tone is set to only play once in the settings which is why it's stopping.
As for the lock...did you have S2U2 on at some point?
Remember the topic thing for next time please!!! I hate those sort of topics

Firstly, the topic is a minor issue, since I had already typed it, and it hasn't fully shown.
I'll edit it to reflect what it should've been, I'm not the typical n00b user of forums, and I do try to be fairly to the point.
Secondly, which part of "I've recently had someone ask me" do you not comprehend?
This is NOT my phone, therefore I do not know what has been done, and what hasn't been done.
The original user is someone who contacted me recently, and I'm trying to find the best way to resolve these issues.
As for the ringtone, I know on my phone its set to be continuous. Only by pure luck somehow I managed to answer my phone after its first beep this morning, half asleep, but it had beeped once from my ringtone and stopped ringing on my end.
If you can explain S2U2, that would be handy.
Thank you,

Upon reflection, do you agree it might be prudent in future to ascertain what steps have already been taken to rectify said "problem" before posting?
As for S2U2 - it's an application (there are others like it) that locks the screen of the phone - I have seen applications like this disable the default locking mechanism upon uninstallation. That was the reason for me asking - perhaps you could get your friend to check that?

I'm quite sure he understood what "I've recently had someone ask me" means - but you can't really expect us to help you in any way if you can't answer any follow-up questions! It's pure guessing this way!

S2U2 is a locking app available here: http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
I've used it myself for a while and never had any issues. But I guess Wiggz is hinting at problems that might arise after uninstalling S2U2 (I hard-reset my device instead of uninstalling - so I have no idea) since S2U2 sorta does the same job as the standard locking using the end-key.
A hard-reset would probably fix all three issues - but I guess that isn't really an option if your friend asked you for help... :/

I'll have a look into the S2U2, and get this person to try it.
Since the handset has only recently been delivered from replacement, I can't see how a Hard Reset will work, but always worth a try.
What would you recommend with the custom ringtone issue? It happens on my hermes also, so not sure what would be causing this.

Are you sure the ringtone is of sufficient length to match the ring/pickup pattern - i.e. 30 second ringtone for 30 seconds before voicemail?
I had this problem with my alarm when I first used it.

HD2 crashes when adjusting in call volume

Hi all.
Im having a bit of a problem with my HD2. Whenever im in a call if i adjust the volume the earpiece goes dead, starts making a quiet buzzing noise and cuts the other person off. If you want to call the person back the phone wont let you back into the phone menu, and starts to act all strange and slow and you have to pull the battery off. I have been searching the forums for a solution but i havent found one yet. I have even flashed 3 different Roms to see if that fixes the problems but no.
Please HELP!!!
Adam.

i had exactly same problem, so tried another rom. and everything ok. but i did do a task 29 first.....try doing that then re-flashing your rom.

Don't forget to change radio to a compatible one with the rom.

Cheers you guys. At least im not the only one who has had this problem Phew. I will try what you both have said and see if it solves the problems! Thanks again.

YAY Fixed. Cheers you guys for all your help!!
Adam

please specify what solved the problem for you so that other people going through the forum and its threads can get some idea and so that this thread gets meaningful "closure".
lets try to avoid using the forum as personal tech support, and instead add information where necessary so that it can truly be the knowledge base it aims to be.

Don't get any info
Fido. I don't get any info from this thread. This user has opened up a thread and after some time he is saying that Ok my problem solved. What this thread can give others in terms of knowledge and info - Nothing but time waste.

[Q] Bluetooth connection pop-up: Can it be disabled?

Maybe I'm not using the right search terms, but I can't seem to find anybody talking about this.
When you turn bluetooth back on after pairing a device (in my case, my car stereo) a popup appears asking you basically if you want to reconnect with the existing device. This is annoying. I want my phone to connect to my stereo automatically and I don't want a popup telling me about it.
I discovered an app in the market called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" which seems to have solved the first problem (reconnecting automatically), but the pop-up still appears every time.
Is this a Jelly Bean thing or a Samsung thing? Can somebody point me in the right direction for disabling the pop-up?

I have the same problem. And don't know how to disable this.

bump, this thing is annoying

Are you sure it's not connecting? Mine does the same thing but does auto connect eventually. I do however hate the pop-up with a fiery passion & can't find a setting to disable it. I want it to just connect to paired devices automatically w/o the annoying effing pop-up each time.

I had this issue as well, really irritating when connecting to my car.
The easiest solution I found is an app in the playstore called "Bluetooth Auto Connect"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en
Thing is amazing, just run it the one time and never again. Never have to deal with that popup window and selecting what you want to reconnect to.

This "feature" is VERY annoying, I thought I was the only person who hated it. It is only helpful if you have multiple Bluetooth devices. The only workaround I have found is to enable Bluetooth on the S4 and then cut your Bluetooth device on WHILE the S4 screen is off.
The added step is annoying as well but no pop up....
Also I've noticed that if you already have Bluetooth enabled and connect your device during a live call it does not pop up.
This has resulted in me leaving Bluetooth enabled on the S4 and answering all my calls by cutting on my Bluetooth device.

It's called an idiom.... You obviously knew what it meant or you wouldn't be "splitting hairs". There's another idiom for you.

Irony: Someone butchering the English language welcoming me to it.
I'm quite well versed in the English language, thank you very much. It's people like you who bastardize it that make me concerned for our nation's future. I only wish not seeming like an idiot when you speak wasn't the 'in thing' in society. When did being intelligent and well spoken go out of fashion anyway?

Hey Ostrich Sak, how about we just agree to disagree that the use of the idioms "cut on" or "cut off" are butchering the English language and/or dooming the nation. Let's not hijack the thread or insult each other over something so insignificant to the point of the original post.
I'm sure we can both agree that civility goes a lot further than douchery towards preserving and creating harmony. And THAT is the intelligent thing to do any way you cut it.

I would also like to know if it's possible to disable popup, without root that is, I'm very happy with my i9505 usung build mg4...
On another note, it would be nice if you folk voluntaraly edit your OT posts and keep it nice and clean, (the insults and nastiness is not needed or nessassary) without needing intervention from the moderators, thank you

Far as I'm concerned he and I hashed it out like adults and reached a resolution. Nobody was insulted and nobody was nasty. Man, this new generation is WAY too sensitive and dependent on authority figures to solve perceived issues. People wonder what's wrong with society...

Motorola Assist - Megaphone LOUD

I'm absolutly loving Assist, specifically while driving. However, the volume is really LOUD. It's much louder than the standard notification volume.
Yes, I'm sure it's designed to be loud, but to prevent scaring my family every time it's activated, is there any way to turn the volme on Assist down? I haven't actually tried the volume rockers when Assist is active, since I'm busy driving!

Wouldn't that be controlled by the volume slider "Music, Video games & Other media" in sound options? I'm not sure I'm just taking a shot in the dark here.
I really love assist too. However, I only use it to silence my phone at night time before bed and wake in the morning. An option so simple, yet many phones lack it.

You would think so, but I have that slider set to about 60%, and it definitely doesn't appear to change the Assist volume.

Assist obeys that volume on my phone. If I set it to around 10%, it's very quiet indeed.

I feel like I'm the only person that can't get assist to actually work. Doesn't tell me who the message is from or say the actual message.

Mine does not work at all either... no driving, meeting nor sleeping assist work. I tried to clear data and cache but no luck.

Okay, I did factory reset last night, and all Assist features are working now. Obviously, there was a problem before but I am happy now.

Yeah I've done a factory reset, cleared cache in recovery. Everything I can think of. The assist activates when driving, the alert starts, but as soon as it needs to do text to speech with the actual name and message it just stops.
I feel like there is a conflict somewhere but I tried it with a clean install and nothing downloaded. Now that i've got TIBU maybe I should do a clean reinstall of the factory software and re-root and test that. may not be a bad idea.

Mine was doing the opposite so i had to disable it...mine would work fine when driving but would de-activate...so when I got home/to work/wherever and assist 'stopped' it would continue reading out who the message was from and asking me if i wanted it read to me. Which is really annoying because like others, the volume seemed incredibly loud and turning it down didn't help.
Anyone else have this issue? I've had to disable assist because of this, don't want to be sitting in a meeting and get a text and have it start screaming at me.

I'm having the exact same problem. It ALWAYS announces them to me, whether it's in driving mode or not. Even when my phone is on vibrate... I tried turning the Assist feature completely off, and it still announced them to me, very frustrating

I have this issue as well. I love that it does talk to me when I'm driving (when it should) but to do it for every text message no matter what is crazy. Device should know the difference between when I'm driving and when i'm at home....on my own wifi....with screen on....using my device. Even when actually using the messaging app having a conversation with someone is very annoying, just show it to me in the app don't take me out of the app and make me talk/swipe notification away to look at what I was already looking at. I tried several things to fix it until I gave up and installed a 3rd party sms app from play store. Even tweeted Motorola Mobility about issue and they only linked me to the Touchless Control FAQ, useless.
I guess I could try clearing Assist's data, I'm not willing to do a factory reset or anything over the issue though.
I am on pwnmymoto on vzw motox. had previous 2 releases of moto root as well. not sure if any of these root options may be to blame in the matter.

I contacted Motorola support, got transferred to level 2, and then level 3... they finally acknowledged that they found a bug they are working on and will hopefully issue an update for it soon. In the meantime, he showed me how to disable it. If you're interested, go into Settings > Apps > All... scroll down to "Motorola Assist Talk to Me", select it, and then click Disable. This will disable the spoken alerts totally until an update can be pushed out. Once the update is pushed out, you will need to go back in here and re-enable it.
Not the ideal solution, but at least we know an update will be coming to fix it

What's the common denominator here though? What do those who have this bug have in common? Verizon? Pwnmymoto? Excessive luck?

Has nothing to do w/ Pwnmymoto. I was having this issue from day 1 and well before using Pwnmymoto. So it is either Verizon or just Motorola Assist in general.
The speaking of texts while driving was pretty much the main feature i liked w/ Moto Assist (along w/ silencing phone at night) so I'm just going to leave it disabled until an update is out to fix it.

No clue, haven't paid close enough attention to the people reporting the issue. I'm assuming it isn't specific to Verizon but as I said, nothing to back that up.

Was just curious since it seems like some don't have this issue.
I'm happier replacing the stock messaging app than killing all the spoken alerts since that's the only time it gets annoying. Hopefully they will get to it sooner than later since it's just an app update. Thanks for the info.
