So far I like this phone alot. However my biggest complaint is this:
When you go to messages and click on someone to go send a text and you start typing on the hard keyboard only to look at screen and nothing is there. Why does it not automatically select the box so that you just start typing and go. I do not want to physically tap that box every time I want to start texting. My G1 does it, why doesnt this?
Am I the only one?
Mine automatically goes to the text box after selecting one contact. If I click the To box to add another recipient, it stays in the To box once a contact is selected. This is exactly how my G1 did it. Check the Input Method you're using... I'm finding many strange things based on which keyboard I have selected, regardless whether I am using the hardware keyboard or not. I currently am on Touch Input, and it is working the way you want it to right now.
When im creating a new message to a new contact then yes after selecting a contact it switches to the compose box. I am referring to conversations I already have currently. When Im in messages I have like 4 threads/conversations... with phone horizontal and slide open ready to type with hardware keyboard... I click on my gf's name/thread. When its done loading it i have to manually tap the compose box every time. If my phone goes into sleep mode with that window still there then of course when i power on the phone it will still be selected on the compose box. I tried this with different keyboards and different settings. I checked it with every conversation/thread. I pushed back clicked a new person/conversation and low and behold same thing. It never automatically selects it so i can just click somenes name/conversation and start typing with hardware keyboard
Another thing I find is that if i start typing something phone goes into sleep power back on and phone changes from portrait to landscape it erases my msg that i was currently engaged in. And I dont mean drafts either
Appreciate the help btw : )
Oh I see... yes, mine also doesn't auto focus to the message box... Interesting. I can't recall how my G1 handled that, but I am sure it was the same as your. Not sure what to tell ya there then. The only other suggestion, and this depends on how you get to your messages, but if I open Messages, I can long press on the message and choose Reply, and then the message box is auto-focused...
I just tested it out on my G1 and it autofocuses on the texting box every time. sigh...
I use the google voice app for messaging, but one thing I noticed last night is that holding the VOLUME DOWN button will only turn the ringer "down" to vibrate. On my G1, it would go all the way to silent.
In order to get it to silent you have to hold the lock/power button on the top, select Silent Mode, and then press the volume button once to get the "silent icon" to show up in the top bar.
found another bug:
When in wireless setting, wi-fi settings, menu, advanced setting, ipaddress. when trying to set ip address all the numbers are screwed up 1 becomes 7 2 becomes 9.......? only way to get it correct is to use FN key. Even using FN key twice causes them to be messed up

mine goes to silent mode if you don't go all the way to vibrate with the volume rocker.

LOL this ... Silent mode is above vibrate
Sure enough, you guys are right! Strange, so now it is Vibrate -> Silent -> Volume levels, my G1 was Silent -> Vibrate -> Volume levels

I'm sure this was intentional, and I for one like the change. My phone is either ringer volume to the max, or vibrate. I have no use for no ringer and no vibrate mode. So it's convenient for me to simply hold the Vol- key all the way and it goes right to Vibrate, no more having to go + once to get vibrate now

I agree. I can't tell you how many times I accidentally put my G1 on silent and not realized it. It's still possible though, but I think it less likely since vibrate is the lowest option.
I'd actually prefer if silent wasn't even on the volume rocker. I've hardly ever used it and if I ever need it, I have no problem holding the power button and selecting silent on-screen.
Hey guys is there anyway to set the phone so that whenever I longpress the lock/power button to bring up the option to silent the phone.. it will silent the phone but also put it on vibrate? Whenever I put it on silent I always have to manually set it to vibrate through settings.
Thanks

Press the volume up key once it's on silent.
for some reason, my phone no longer vibrates when I get a call when on silent mode. it used to. I do have vibrate setting turned on. any ideas?
thanks!
I thought that was the reason for silent mode.. I don't remember my phone vibrating for anything when on silent...
Just checked, and it doesn't. ? Fluke perhaps?

not sure, but I think I might have found a solution. when long-pressing the power button, if i set it to "vibrate", it will vibrate on silent. from that point forward, I can keep those settings when setting it to silent by sliding the lock screen's silent switch.
The lock screen sound mode toggle will always be sound and the last non-sound mode your phone was in when it locked.
For example, put it in vibrate and lock it. The toggle will be sound and vibrate. Put it in silent and lock it. The toggle will be sound and silent.
I hope that helps.

I seen and tried what you where saying and but it still doesn't vibrate when I switch it to sound I get the pop up that says sound on but when I switch it to vibrate it says sound off and doesn't vibrate I've looked at every single setting and can't figure out why it's not working
So using the power option is a workaround.
But using AutomateIT or Tasker you are stuck as to forcing a vibration notification? Right?
Anyone?
Can we revert to JB??
I am on the latest KK.
I miss a lot of calls because my phone will switch to silent mode automatically. Last night I checked it, put it on the table and this morning I had missed two calls and messages it was on silent. Is there a way to at least have it vibrate when in the silent mode? I love this phone but his is a big problem for me.
Do you have "Blocking Mode" set?
No I checked that. It will go into silent mode while sitting on the table. I wish there was some way to make sure it always would vibrate
Thwrw should be a tile for the notifcation panel to aet it to sound/vibrate/silent.

Thought I read about an option for if you have the phone face down, it is on Silent mode?
This has been driving me crazy for the last couple of weeks -
When my S7 Edge goes into silent or night mode, the device vibrates - and when it enters normal mode, it plays a notification sound.
How to disable these notifications?
I have been using custom ROMs for the last month, have been with Renovate for most of that time.
I have a tasker profile set up, to enter silent mode if there is a busy appointment in my calendar, and to enter normal mode once the appointment ends.
I have used the same profile on different phones in the past - but not Samsung ones - and I never got these notifications. There is nothing in Tasker which configures this, it must be somewhere in the device Settings.
It's similar to the "notify on call connection" option, which I located and disabled - but I just can't track this one down.
Any ideas?
