Why my thread got closed I wana know how to make x10 vibrate and ring at sametime when receiving a call.
because unless there is something lost in the translation, it is VERY obvious that the phone can vibrate and ring at same time. its a basic function of the phone. is that not what you meant?

easy go to settings>>sound & display>>phone vibrate !!!
I did that and put the phone on loud volume when I received call only ringtone no vibrate
..... this is even worse than all those FroYo and MT queations..
Check the phone manuals dood, or lurk on the phone's setting..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
...or, when it rings, shake it violently to simulate the vibration.

Honestly I don't know why people are assuming you don't know what you're doing, I think it's safe to say you know how the settings on your phone work, after all you are posting on XDA so one would think you're tech savvy enough to know how to enable vibrate and ring...despite the large number of morons on here nowadays.
What I'm getting at is I'm experiencing a similar problem myself. Only my phone no longer vibrates when I receive messages. It will vibrate and ring for incoming calls but only ring and no longer vibrate for sms. I never changed anything, it just stopped working properly about 2 weeks ago and I was hoping the problem would solve itself, sadly it hasn't yet. I've double checked every setting, uninstalled and reinstalled different apps and have emailed Handcent about the issue, no solution so far.
Also, when I go to the notification settings in Handcent and "test notification" it never vibrates now, regardless of the vibration pattern I select.
Any real help other than unfunny childish smartass comments would be appreciated, for both of us I think.

I dont think they are childish comments, but the comments are assuming a lack of technical ability
What troubleshooting have you done? What (apart from uninstalling apps and changing settings) have you done at all? Have you thought that your phone may be broken?
Chances are that if it is failing at vibrate, then no amount of software tweaks or 3rd party apps can fix a hardware fault. TEST IT using the service menu.
(Lock screen - Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back) Service tests => Vibrator. If your phone does not vibrate, then you have a problem. If it does vibrate then go back and check all your settings again - factory restore if required!

How can we assume that the user has any technical skill when this is what was written. If you have an issue, please give a decent outline of what it is (like RVICTORG has done) and the other users can probably see where you are going wrong. "Its not working" does not help anyone.

No I haven't looked at any of his other threads, and believe me I know there's a lot of idiots on this forum nowadays, but I guess benefit of the doubt before harsh words :S Doesn't matter now, he solved his problem but I haven't resolved mine.
Like I said in my earlier post, my phone will vibrate for incoming calls, just not messages any more. The service test was one of the first things I did and I can confirm my phone will still vibrate. I have absolutely no idea why it's not for messages and I feel like I've exhausted all possible solutions barring re-flashing firmware. I haven't received a response from Handsent yet, based on that and no others commenting here I assume this is just an annoying isolated incident.
Will update if I find a solution. Thanks for your suggestions guys despite me having already trying them it's still appreciated and if you think of anything else let me know, peace.

You started this thread because you had a problem. Now that you found the solution, it is only logical that you post the solution as well. This way, other readers that have the same problem can get help too! I'm sure RVICTORG would like to know what you had to do!

so does your phone vibrate at all now? what were the results of the vibrate test in the service menu?
Is this available somehow? I know there are threads for the S3, but I don't see anything out yet for the S4. Anyone know of any apps that will record without speakerphone? I have tried everyone I can find, even the Galaxy specific app.
If not an app, then a ROM, modified SecPhone file.. anything?

Might I suggest porting your carrier number to Google Voice? GV integrates well with Sprint, and you have the option of recording calls made through it by pressing a button at any time during the call. And it brings with it plenty of other awesome options.

Good idea. The only thing keeping me from this right now is the early cancellation fee that would happen when I port the number. I'll look through the GV feature list and see if it is worth it.

What cancellation fee? Sprint doesn't charge you anything...they want to encourage integration with Google Voice. And Google certainly doesn't charge you anything. It took me literally ten seconds and cost me nothing.

Yeah, I posted that before completely reading the article I was looking at. I was thinking that a cancellation fee would be charged because that line is technically being taken away from them. But since you are getting another line at the same time, they don't count it as cancellation.
That being said, Google Voice's recording feature will not work for my needs for 2 reasons: (based on the feature lists and articles I read. If this is outdated or inaccurate, feel free to correct me)
1. You can only record outgoing calls. I need to be able to record both calls.
2. When you hit the record button, Google Voice alerts both parties that the call is being recorded. I need it to be anonymous. (Disclaimer before I get hounded about legal issues and privacy: Yes, I understand that there are legal considerations here. My attorney and I have both looked at the laws of my state, and what I am going to be doing is completely legal here. Both I and the other caller reside in the same state.)
Any other ideas for recording on the S4?

You could install this ROM to have the Call Recorder option.

Hello,
How do I disable the camera shutter sound on my Galaxy S5?
I don't want to root my S5.
I live in the Netherlands and I don't have the option to disable the shutter sound in camera settings.
What should I do?
Installing firmware from other countries that does have that option?
You have to set your phone to silent or vibrate mode to silence the shutter sound.

Yeah, I don't know why he posted that, it is pretty common knowledge that that does not solve your problem. Here in the Netherlands law dictates that cameras need to make a sound when you take a picture. The only way to disable the sounds is to root the phone and delete/rename the sounds or (after rooting) use any tool that can disable the sounds you need to be disabled.

Try this, it should work without rooting. Google "enforced stream silencer". Install the app.
Before you can use it, you need to let your phone install apps from sources other than Google Play. Here’s how you do that:
Step 1: Click the MENU button
Step 2: Go to SETTINGS
Step 3: Click on APPLICATIONS
Step 4: Make sure that “UNKNOWN SOURCES” is checked
Step 5: Read the warning message and click OK

What is common knowledge is that it works for countries that doesn't have any law about camera sound and what isn't common knowledge is your country's law. Your country's law is your country's, not ours. It would have helped if the OP mentioned that shutter sound is a law in their country. That's the reason why the sound is pre-configured and cannot be turned off in their phones, the telco can be sued if they go against the law.
Here's the proof that the shutter sound goes off under silent and vibrate mode.

Try the different options here, your last resort could be installing firmware from other countries but it's tricky since S5 has too many firmwares for different countries.

If this was known to you, I am sure you already knew that this would be the problem. You were trolling to be able to tell people to tell if their country's law dictates this, though not everyone is aware of every law of their country.....
Next time just ask if this is the case and try to genuinely help in stead of making a sarcastic remark to let someone disable the sound of his phone.
Why don't you want to root the phone? Because of the warranty? If so, you can go ahead because Dutch law prevents Samsung from discarding warranty due to rooting and real life cases have shown that service centers still repair KNOX tripped phones under warranty without questions asked.

That's the problem. There are too many. The firmware of previous Galaxy Ss have firmware that work with many countries, you can see the CSC list. But S5 has very limited CSC. For example, my S5 will only work with 5 counties, while my previous Galaxy S will work in more than 20 counties. If you plan on flashing other firmware, I suggest you read thoroughly. I cannot help you further with this.
You can download S5 firmware here:

Why are you so rude? You are the one trolling. FYI, not every Android user knows how to turn off the sound, that's why they are asking. Also, I've never personally seen an android that does not turn off the sound when silenced or vibrated. And like I told you, your law is your law, our law is ours. I don't need to research every law your country has, and I don't care either because I don't live there.
If you cannot help and don't want to help, just shut up. You're not the OP and I don't need to explain myself further to you. Your logic seems to be non-existent.

Hey Guys!
Tasker is really epic, we all know that dont we?
I discovered something epic, and made a tutorial out of it for you all to give it a shot, it works on any android device [It's 2015, get a decent device] it's not restricted to the One.
Why can this be usefull?
Well my friend at The Techolic featured the video on his website, and and mentioned every reason why this is epic!
So do check the article out too!
http://bit.ly/TheTecholic-BlogPost
So what is the tutorial about?
It's simple, suppose you're cycling (using my own example), headphones always on, due to that i miss important notifications, even if i notice that something has come, i have to stop to read the notification, but that irritates me, or moreover takes my average speed , So i used Tasker and Autonotification to make a profile which would work with headphones connected/or not (it's upto you), the profile will speak up all notifications, specially whats app's or texts, for eg. it would say, "New Message from (Contact Name). (Message).
This also works for all of us lazy asses out there, Feeling Lazy to read? or even extend your hand to the table next to you? damn this would do the job for you, speak up the notifications
Let me know how is it, and if you find it usefull, hit on the Thanks meter

Hey guys, I've been a long time fan of this site, but have never posted anything. I've been using Samsung phones forever and when Smart Call was added, it was the best. For those who don't know, Smart Call is a Built In feature that integrates with the dialer/ caller Id to help mitigate Spam calls and fraud calls. Its ABSOLUTELY free and works. I have the US Cellular S10+ and this free feature on my $1k phone has been disabled to push their paid feature called Call Guardian on us as well as other carriers doing the same. I can open system files and see that the "program" is there, but like I said it's been disabled somehow through software. This site is home to some of the smartest people out there. Have any of you guys found a way to enable features that Carriers have disabled without flashing (I'd love to but I'm scared I'd brick it). Any ideas or advice would be awesome! Thank you

Other than flashing the U1 firmware that's about it. Since it's a system app that's disabled by your carrier's csc configuration that's your only option.
Thank you for the quick response. That was what I was afraid of. Im pretty tech savvy so I believe I could, it's just I've never attempted to flash a phone before. I've looked online for some how-to info on flashing. Do you have any that you would recommend being a newbie to it?

There is a decent set of instructions here, just ignore step 1 and the fact it's for a different model. Download the modified Odin and U1 branded firmware from this post. Other than that it's pretty much self explanatory. Use your original charging cable to connect your phone to the PC and if you get stuck ask for help in the thread I linked. That's your best bet.
EDIT: Smart Call has a bug too. It disables when you restart your phone sometimes so you will need to re-enable it in the settings menu.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!
It's not on the unlocked F either. I was very dissappointed.
I have unlocked s10 sd but I have to re-enable the spam caller ID toggle after every reboot for some reason.

Have any of you guys found a way to enable features that Carriers have disabled without flashing (I'd love to but I'm scared I'd brick it). Any ideas or advice would be awesome! Thank you

So, I've made a post on the Sprint Community Forum concerning this Smart Call lockout. I'm doing a mix of looking like I tried to research the issue and also rather pointedly not sounding like someone who was installing ROM's on Windows Mobile devices over a decade ago in the hopes that someone at Sprint will promise something they probably shouldn't in print. Maybe they'll get the point that this anti-competitive crap isn't going to fly forever.
For whatever it's worth, the unlocked Canadian version we bought at Best Buy has that feature available and it has remained enabled since first setting up the phone. Couldn't tell you the csc, but a heads up in the event it happens to be helpful somehow.
