I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I'm hoping that I can get some help as I was never able to find this solution via Google.
Anyhow, I'm running LiquidSmooth 2.9/Franco.K on a Nexus 4, but I can't seem to figure out for the life of me how to make the OS-integrated quiet hours work. I can't find any guide for setup and they do not seem to be working for me.
Can someone explain if this works on the Nexus or how?
Bump. I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I would really like to know if there's an answer.
I'll assume that Liquid has them under Settings>Sounds>Quiet Hours as well?
It should be as easy as: Enable, set your hours, check the boxes for the things you want disabled, done.
There's no trick to it, and I've never seen it NOT work on a ROM yet, although I've never run Liquid. The only thing it won't do is silence notifications where the app uses the wrong API and uses a ringtone vs a notification tone.

Hmmm. I wonder if that's the case. I'll have to borrow my brother's phone and experiment. Many thanks!

I was wondering if anybody has been able to come up with a fix for the K-Jam regarding the problem where the unit doesn't vibrate when a new email arrives when in standby? This issues occurs with the new AKU2 ROM that introduced push mail.
Thanks!
i keep having to beat my head against a wall because people don't know how to read, let alone search. so here is the answer:
Microsoft has specifically said this is NOT an option in the current AKU2 roms. Why? because MS took out that option because it would drain battery life, especially if you are getting a lot of e-mails a day. if MS decides to enable this, that's up to them. is it as simple as a reg entry? no idea. but lets drop this subject and the continuous posts untill something actually does come up.
While there is no FIX per-se there is a very goos and easy work around.
Phone Alarm from http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
lets you do a ton of stuff. Setting vibrate for all e-mail accounts is just one of them.
It also supports repeating alarms for e-mail too. Actually this is why I found this program. I use my 9100 as a pager for my companies tech support so I wanted a repeating alarm rather than just a go off once where it could be missed. Check it out.

ahem. What I have seen MS state is that turning on the screen when new mail arrives could seriously impact battery life for high volume mail users. The last public statement from MS that I've seen (besides the statement above) is that the vibe-on-email issue couldn't be replicated but would be escalated in the WM team. The response was from Jason L. who posts to one of the WM team blogs and his response was posted here by a forum user who contacted him directly.
For reference, the pre-AKU2 ROMs also do not vibe-on-mail and whatnot and stuff.

This application doesn't correct correct the problem. Using it, the device does not vibrate when new mail arrives while it is in standby.

TECHNICALLY you are correct. This program does not FIX the problem, if you have the settings done a specific way you can get the behavior folks are looking for.
If in the Alarm settings page you set "Always vibrate if muted", "Always vibrate with sound" both on, and set "Don't activate backlight on alarm" off or unchecked. Then when an email of any kind comes in, push or otherwise, the phone will wake up, make your selected sound and vibrate as often you choose in the repeat settings. I tested with with my mail2web account extensively.
So as I said at the beginning TECHNICALLY the phone does not vibrate while asleep, Phonealarm will turn on the phone and then vibrate according to your settings so I am right too. It can be done.
Since I was at the movies this past weekend and felt a vibrate while the phone was in it's holster I can say for sure this does what I need it to.
Oh, and by the way I left the theatre before I pulled out the phone to check the message. We must think of others.

You sir are my favorite person of the day. I was going to work through the the dozens of setting permutations this evening to see if I had missed something. Thanks for the concise solution.
What do you personally do about the backlight coming on? Set the timeout to something low? It would be nice if it came on, vibed, and then went off. Well, really it would be nice it would freakin vibe with the backlight remaining off.. =)

Well thanks :shock:
I have not changed the backlight timeout since I rarely get more than a few of messages a day (I use it for urgent tech support messages) and I actually find I like that the phone is on when it comes out of it's holster. Since the thing never leaves my belt There is no real battery issue since I would pull it out and turn it on anyway. :wink: But I guess if you were worried about that, then setting the backlight timeout low would be a good solution.
This latest OS from MS really seems to be where they forgot about current users. They made all these changes without the ability to even hack back the old way. It's just so stupid. The battery icon thing, and now this vibrate thing. And for each one they ahve a plausabile answer except for the fact that there are tons of users that like things the way they are. I don't care if they change the default setting but they sould offer a registry setting to at least change it back when they make a big change. That is fricking MS for you! :evil:
Hey folks,
i got a problem: when i get a phone call it took about 10-20 sec. till the ringtone sounds. i'm running cyanogen 4.04, but i got the same problem on my official t-mobile rom.
the mp3-file i use as ringtone is only 600kb big, i thought that would help but it don't work...
i also haven't got a lot of processes running (just k9 mail checking), i use advanced task manager to kill all other tasks.
have anyone the same problem and maybe a solution?
Try converting the mp3 to a ogg. Also make sure the filepath on your sd is /media/audio/ringtones/whatever.ogg
One other thing is look into the BFS stuff in android development, it is suppose to speed up your ringtone.
There's a script somewhere on this forum to correct the problem, can't be bothered to link to it, but if you look for the xROM thread over in development, look for a guy called MikeTaylor00, in his signature you'll find a script that should sort your problem. All credit goes to either him or whoever found the fix, I'm not too sure, I've never had the need to use it, but everything mike has provided me has done the trick perfectly

Could you follow up on this and tell us if it worked. I have the same problem. I'm not too bothered with it but I would give it a shot just for the giggles if it works.
Thanks!
well, i don't see a big improvement... but i don't think it is a big thing at all.
when my phone rings 5 times a day it takes about 10-20sec till it rings, but when i get more calls it don't take so long at all. weird...
I also have this issue, but i have t mobile to go, it it does this on all my phones. If some dials my number it takes them about 10-20 seconds to hear a ring.
How on earth can I make a "calls only" profile on my phone? I have tried half a dozen apps and its laughable how such an open phone is unable to achieve what should be a basic feature.
As you would know google merged the notification and ringtone volume as one in ICS which is the most dumb **** move google could have made. Now most of the profile apps on the playstore can do nothing about this.
I tried profile scheduler and it can only handle the sms app notification volume. I tried elixir 2 and even though it says that it can unlink notification and ring volume but it does not work for me. Then I finally found an app that actually managed to do it! But guess what? It has a horrible bug of randomly deactivating my data connection and I have to restart my phone. I really dont know what its doing to cause that.
Now I could just manually set the notification tone to silent but actually that doesnt work either since many apps and services have their own notification tone settings which cannot be overrided by the system setting.
So does ANYONE have a workable solution for me? My phone is rooted but I aint installing a custom rom just for this. Samsung touchwiz phones still have separate volumes guess samsung wasnt as stupid as google.
I dont think I'll be buying a nexus phone next if I cant find a solution to this soon. Really sad such a petty issue has to ruin it.

Hmm you're out of luck if the apps don't cut it for you. If you're rooted then flash a ROM....you are missing out on truly useful features not present on stock. If you're not into flashing on principle, get over it if you don't flash due to uncertainty then read up on it, super simple.
Some top ROMS are Slim Bean, Rascarlo, plus many others.
Good luck

Have you tried this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=Orion.Soft
Custom roms got you covered though, don't know of any without unlinked volumes.
Why not flash a custom rom, you have a nexus, I don't think it gets any easier to flash a rom on phone. People make these roms and make features that don't and won't exist on a stock rom.
I am using baked black bean 6. It has the option to unlink call and notification volumes. Also it supports profiles. I think it's worth trying a custom ROM when you need additional features.

Yes thats actually the one that worked but had the data connection bug. I have emailed the dev and he has no idea why that would happen.
On the nexus S I will install custom rom if I am unable to find a decent solution. However I dont know if I'll want to buy the nexus 4 knowing that I would need custom rom for basic functionality so I am gonna try to make this work out without custom rom.
I agree this is dumbest thing Google has done in Android recently. On gingerbread, i had always rocked stock rooted, or something close like pete's bugless beast. On a fundamental level they need to change this, but I think that it's probably motivated from their desire to unify the tablet and phone platforms.
I'm on CM10 now, and have been since ics linked the volumes. It irritates me to no end that every month or so, my phone slows to a crawl and i have to do a full wipe and re-flash. Never had to do this on stock gb. But that's a whole different issue.

yup, android is very flexible in regards to flashing
you truly are missing out on a lot of other features. and you necessarily have to give up a lot of space/speed for it, some roms are dedicated to keeping things as much stock as possible, just because of that, they mostly contain the "stock" rom with exactly those features you want and in other cases you can just go with a rooted/deodexed rom and flash just those mods that you need. in most cases, the latter has almost no effect on performance
Why don't you go flash a custom rom? Sorry but Google has millions of customers and it can't please everyone. There's a very fast way to fix all of this, and that is just simply flashing a custom rom. These roms are very stable and nothing is going to happen. Since you're already rooted why don't you give it a shot and then come back here and complain if it doesn't work?
hi there,
i am looking for a modded SMS app that shows sent time rather than received time, but i am not looking to put up a new rom altogether. have root but on stock rom - debloated.
is that possible at all?
thanks
Gabrio
Stock SMS app shows you what time you sent an SMS
Unless you're looking to see what time the other party sent it? Not sure how any app would know that, as the phone only knows what time it arrived, it has no control or knowledge over the other parties phone or carrier, only it's own
yes that's what I meant... say I had phone in airplane mode, someone txted me overnight, then the phone will show the time I turned the phone on as "received" time, which is not that meaningful.. I know there's a few roms out there which have this modded but I don't want to put up a new rom altogether, so was wondering if there's an "easy" fix, I remember with my old galaxy s2 that all I had to do was to modify a bunch of files in the sms.apk and that was it - oh and I also increased number of TXT before the annoying conversion to MMS, now we have not to send more than 3 otherwise it converts, very annoying... would love to get rid of that too!
thanks
Ah right, so it will be pulling the info from the carrier as to what time it arrived on their server from the other party
yep - I know there are roms such as Phoenix Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302 that have that included and modded... or tweaks from some time ago such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178895 but I couldn't find anything specific for the S5 on JB 5.0 stock that's what I am running.... JUST for the SMS part... if anyone has something, I would be really grateful!, thanks!
Can't you extract the SMS apk from one of the ROMs that has that ability?
hmhmmh that might work but then I don't know if that will work since there's that odex/deodexed... I am not 100% sure it will work
I don't understand why no one else cares about the alert slider mod anymore. As of now, the slider is basically useless to me because I have to be reachable 24/7, so silent mode is unusable. Tying Dnd to the alert slider was an issue in the past because Dnd can be scheduled in software. But those of us that work completely different hours all the time would much rather have the simple hardware switch, and no software timers at all!
I can almost understand this not being possible without root, but with root, ANYTHING should be possible. As I noted here, functionality can be added to the switch, but no amount of Googling and probing around on my own could find a way to disable the built in functionality, but there HAS to be a way. I heard some custom ROMs have it, but not sure which ones. Maybe OnePlus devs tied it directly into the code for the ringer control in A10?
Anyone interested in developing this, even for money?
Anyone have any ideas?
Or know which custom roms have this

I haven't tried any a10 ROMs but I recall every pie rom I used having this feature. I would be shocked if it were different with 10. Try a couple and see what you like not terribly time consuming and can always revert to a backup of stock exactly how your phone is currently set up if you don't find what you want. Good luck

I recall in the early days of this device that it was a common mod, I just don't think anyone kept up with the constant oos updates. Don't quote me on that though I could be mistaken.
