damn, my blackstone forget notification sound for sms :(

sometimes when I received an sms the sound is not reproduced, but I previously checked the box in notification tab.
when I go to see in that tab I see that the box 'reproduce sound' is unchecked...how is it possible?!
has it happen to anyone other?
it's very annoying...

This happend on my Kaiser with a version of Opera beta I installed a few months ago... obviously Opera Beta is not related to the Touch HD, but your issue could be related to some 3rd party software you've installed?
I'd suggest removing any installed programs until you find the one thats making your life annoying!
(My Touch turns up tomorrow!)

Good things that were removed in Sense 5.5

Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)

Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.

I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

You got that working before? For me when I pressed home the clip stopped too. Even on Sense 5. I have not tested on sense 5.5 yet.

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?

The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

Oh yes, I want to disable the lock screen appearing everytime I turn off the screen, so annoying

The removal of old video themes may be a deal breaker for me. I love some of them absolutely.

Islandia was one of the only reasons i bought this phone... **** !
please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes

Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

Yep, will have to wait for ViperOne team to do their magic. I'm sure they'll have an option to disable the lockscreen whilst retaining pin lock

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

I don't like new Gallery and Music apps. Before update i can change track with swiping albumcover left or right. With this update i can not.

Did you notice that the zoom bar disappeared from the camera interface?

[Q] Whatsapp notifications even when muted?

I put my phone in silent/mute mode (using quick settings) every night, but it never stops Whatsapp notifications sounding. Does anyone know how/why Whatsapp notifications bypass the mute setting?

Somebody posted a similar problem in another thread. Maybe it was you.
Anyway, use a standard notification sound that came with the rom you're using. The guy (or girl) said that using a custom notification sound causes the problem.

Thanks, but i already use a standard notification sound
???

I don't know. I rarely set my phone on silent.
I tried myself and it seems that it doesn't work for me either. What rom are you using?

That's interesting - do you mean you also get disturbed by Whatsapp notifications even when in silent mode?
I'm running Phoenix ROM v10.2 (Android 4.4.2).

Yes. So I think it's a whatsapp related. I use a custom ringtone.
I'm using a GPE rom

Nubia Z17 mini notifications issue

Hello every one!
I couldnt find thread about Z17 mini. If i missed it please move it to the rights place.
I've been using my Nubia for 2 weeks and i couldnt set my notifications right.
Most of the time i get new messages on Whatsapp only when i open the application. I asked my Chinese Seller about this issue and All i've got was: "Dear. You can set your own."
If anyone can help i would be pleased.
Regards!

The problem with a Chinese ui is that it's killing the background push service. If you open recent apps swipe down the specific app and it gets locked. I guess you should have neo safe. In that you can setup power behavior for each app. Ignore background process of WhatsApp and so on and keep it alive in the menu.

This can actually be done, but it is a bit weird:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
I also disabled powersaver mode and power saving control in the battery settings (below "other system settings")
Then I went into the NeoSafe app --> Power --> right top settings icon --> Background protection whitelist --> add whatsapp
Also in the NeoSafe I added Whatsapp to autostart: Permission --> Power-on speedup --> Enable Whatsapp
It might be that some of it is not necessary, but this works for me. Now I'm getting all the notifications as they come in Whatsapp

consider upgrade to latest OS build# NX569H_ENCommon_V1.07 shall fix all these issue

To get my messaging and email apps to work I've had to root and push the apps to the system. No problems now.

Thanks for All your answers.
Joren90 - I haven't even noticed NeoSafe app . I did what you wrote and I think it works!
*Do you know guys how to root this phone? Last phone I rooted was HTC one V.
*Will it get an official nougat update?
I'm currently using NX569J_ENCommon_V1.33 ROM version. Looks little bit Chinese
* One more question: Is it possible to get the notification counter on application's icon? I mean when I get a message on Whatsapp could I also get a "1" attached to WhatsApp's icon? Only rooting and getting extra app is a solution I guess?
Thanks again and have a nice day!

Official nougat ROM comes out in august for the mini.
For root u need to get the twrp script then flash the latest super user zip. This can be found here:
http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-910474-1-1.html
For the notification counter another launcher might work.

Thanks Mackay53!
Nice to hear that Nubia gets official Nougat update.
But since I have no "system update" option in my settings menu do I have to upgrade it myself via some app/pc software??
After almost one week using my Nubia with new settings I'm gonna share a little update with you:
*All the notifications (WhatsApp, email) are working fine and I have no problems whatsoever
*The quality of the phone, speed of the phone, quality of the photos and videos are great as for the price I bought it (250€).
Although I like this phone already I really want to... sell it. The lack of OIS is bothering me. In fact it doesn't have any image stabilization... At least it doesn't work for me at all. The quality of videos is great but all the "shakiness" is killing the nice feel of the video quality.

You can install the update by downloading the ROM from the chinese Nubia support pages or the EU version from the nubia India support pages. You then need to enter recovery mode when phone is off by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power Button at the same time.
If you install twrp and root you can install a couple nougat custom roms (mokee + reserection remix) instead of waiting till august for official ROM. Phone becomes a lot more smoother and faster.

Edit - were you talking about the Z17 mini or Z17 normal? Sorry to cause any confusion...

We were talking about Z17 Mini. But I guess they're both almost the same when it comes to OS.
I get the notification counter ? No rooting needed. I've installed Nova launcher and TeslaUnread plugin . But then you have to allow both apps (Nova+ Tesla plugin) in your NeoSafe app.
Btw. How is your EIS working? Anybody?

I'm using global 2.10 and if I close an app, even it configured in autostart or reboot the phone, the notifications do not arrive, I already did everything and it does not work, there is no neosafe on the global, how to solve it?

hi guys,
to allow notifications do the following:
joren90 suggestion:
go to: Settings --> Notification center --> application notification --> down to Whatsapp
Enable all of them (or leave some out as you wish)
Also, in the current app overview (long press red circle) swipe down Whatsapp so it has a lock next to it. This will prevent the system from killing the service.
then go to settings --> Apps and in the top right corner there are three vertical dots
touch it and choose auto-start management
allow Whatsapp or app you need and it should work even when the power save management is on
works on build v2.10

Try re-loading your ROM. This has happened to me and after trying everything but a reload without success.

Hi I have tried this on my phone and the wife's but still stuck with the 5 seconds I have looked on the post forums and there have been problems for ages but not seen a root / non root fix anywhere

I could only get around this with a custom ROM in the end. Now once again on OOS 13 only 5 secong notifications ( I have even added my notifications as root (MAGISK module)) has anyone got any advice for me please ???? ( so sick of switching ROMS just wish OOS could do long notifications)

I need help with notification sound with my OnePlus 8 Pro, especially with SMS messages and Viber incoming chat messages. I have tried all diifferent methods known to me, even clearing the apps cache and data in storage. I uninstalled and reinstalled the apps so many times and still the notification sound I pick does not work. I constantly shift from default sound to none, then from sound to other sound but get the same result each time, no notification sound coming out from my phone. I've done factory resets many times, but I still get no notification sound for SMS and Viber apps. To be clear, I do see the notification popups on the notification panel all the time and all other voice calls, ring tones and media sounds work normally. I need help please!

I have given up with the OOS ROM now , on Elixir now
