[Q] Tempremental notifications on GTalk - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm running LPT since it's release, and it's been working great. However one thing I noticed since changing from GB is that GTalk notifications don't always work. Most of the time they do, but sometimes they just don't happen.
I have it set to vibrate and status notify, and when this happens, I'll either get a status icon only, or no notification at all. This gets annoying, especially when the phone is in my pocket, as I have to keep taking it out to check if I have messages.
Never saw this issue on GB... Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks!

Reminder on screen message fault driving me mad

I keep setting reminders to pop up an on screen notification then after a reboot and not every time) it loses the settings and I have to go back into SOUNDS - NOTIFICATIONS and set reminders to have the ON SCREEN MESSAGE again.
Does anyone know how to make the permanent as it is driving me mad.
I too am having this problem - why does it do that????
I think I had this problem before updating to Rom 1.37.707.1 too...so probs not rom related
It is weird. It only resets sometimes as well. I cant work out what causes it.
wonder why not many ppl complaining about this issue? Its good having notification on
yes mine did it last night again but had not done it for a few days.
I wonder if it is to do with certain software configurations i.e. if you have something installed. I have not added that much to the standard build or even if it is noise specific i.e. a certain sound file.

Alert sounds keep turning off by themselves

I have email and text messages set to play a tone, vibrate and display an on screen message, but since Monday these keep getting turned off somehow. However, the ringer is unaffected. This is very annoying as it's causing me to miss work emails. Any ideas on this? I've so far been unable to track down the cause.
I'm running the newest L26 ROM, and haven't installed anything recently.
Have you by any chanced tried the new Opera 9.5 beta? It has a bug that does exactly that, turns off all the notifications everytime you launch it....
Actually, yes, I completely forgot about that. Thanks a lot... I was missing important SNMP alerts.

[Q] Stock 2.3.3 issues [other than battery problems]

Note: I just blogged about it and planning on posting on few Googler's twitter to see if we can get some attention to fix these issues, if they already haven't started looking in to these! If you are interested, please visit "Is the latest Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) OTA update for Nexus One buggy? "and share your experience with Android 2.3.3 on your NexusOne's the Android team can get a bigger picture of these issues! More the merrier!
By now, I have reset to factory default couple of times but still after about 50hrs of usage my Nexus One starts acting freaky! Performance slows down, launching apps gives me black screen, lock screen freezes until I receive a call and not answer it and finally forcing me to reboot the phone.
Is anyone else aware of these issues or experiencing these issues?
I've had a few, repeated issues since upgrading to Gingerbread:
The stock messaging application will sometimes crash after sending a text message. The message gets sent, but the program closes out and returns me to the home screen. When I try to get back into the app, it animates like it is opening, animates like its closing and then gives me an error message about it not responding. I have found the only way to get rid of this is to reboot the phone.
Occasionally, all of the items - icons, widgets, etc - will disappear from the home screen. All I can see is my background image (just a plain JPEG, nothing animated) and cant get anything else to happen. I've tried to give it a few minutes (coming from Windows Mobile, I've learned to be patient) but it never came back. As expected, only a full reboot of the phone fixed the problem.
I've been having strange WiFi and data connection problems. Sometimes when connecting to WiFi it takes several minutes to establish a working connection; however most times it is pretty instant. The data connection will sometimes completely drop out and not come back on its own - even in areas with known good signal (I'm on AT&T, insert jokes here). Again, the best solution I've found is a full reboot.
I have heard some reports from friends that they have experienced issues with Exchange support after the upgrade, but I haven't seen it personally. Other than those above issues (which are very annoying) Gingerbread is has been OK. As I like to tell everyone, I'm sure glad my phone makes a cool TV of animation but can't seem to want to send text messages... Thanks Google?

You are right, I've been having those home screen issues as well, though my wifi connectivity seems to be fine so far.

I can confirm Gingerbread on my N1 facing similar problem. Riddled with bugs such as battery drain, Wifi, Exchange Server, Date format on Notification Bar, Awake forever, just to name a few.
REverted back to 2.2.2 More stable amid less 'cheeky' in term of UI.
Also had force close issues with launcher and other programs getting a black screen after about 2 days without a reboot. Got tired of it and went back to Froyo
I've had trackball notification issues. First it stopped working entirely. After a restore it now only blinks notifications if the screen is off. Once the screen is turned on (even if the phone isn't unlocked) it stops. If the screen is on when the notification is recieved nothing happens.
I'm experiencing battery drain that i believe is associated with maps and location services (the alogcat shows it checking in all the time!).
I've had the launcher become unresponsive to touch. You can use the trackball to navigate, its slow, and once you're inside an app it works fine. Need to restart.
I've had the blank keyboard show up and need to restart.
I'm probably going to switch back to 2.2.2 tonight...
Wow! The issue seems to have touched a lot of NexusOne's. I just blogged about it and planning on posting on few Googler's twitter to see if we can get some attention to fix these issues, if they already haven't started looking in to these!

I have also been affected by the "black screen" problem after about 48 hours uptime. Returning to the home screen shows just the wallpaper and no icons. Pressing the "Home" button worked for a while to bring back the icons, but eventually most apps started showing some black screens and I had to reboot to fix the problem. I'm sticking with Gingerbread 2.3.3 for now, but it is disturbing after the multi-week uptimes I was getting under FroYo 2.2.2.

[CM7] Softkeys turns on when receiving SMS ?

Hi Guys!
I got a Galaxy S I9000B to replace my Galaxy Ace. As soon as I got it I flashed it with the latest CM7 nightly. I know there is CM9 and 10 for this phone but I had CM7 also on my ACE and I definitely love this rom and GB.
So far everything is great, this an old but really good piece of phone.
Anyways, I noticed something that on my ACE with CM7 didn't happen.
Everytime I have my phone locked (not using it) and receive a SMS text, besides notificating me with the ringtone and vibrate, the softkeys turns on and keep that way until I press the home button. I didn't wait much than 4 or 5 minutes, it might be some kind of notification that this CM7 has for the I9000B, and it might turn off if I wait more but I didn't try that yet. Also it might be a bug, I don't know.
The question is, do you guys know if this is normal ? It it does, do you know if there is an option to turn this option off or at least configure the time the softkeys are turned on ?
Thanks!
It is perfectly normal for your phone to do this:
The Galaxy S lacks a notification LED so the softkey LEDs are used to show unread messages or other notification.
Since I've never used CM7 I can't tell you if there is any option to change the duration, maybe someone else knows more about that.

Thanks dude! I was hoping to be normal since I didn't want bugs hehe.
I was kind of surprising since I have never experienced this behavior with my previous Galaxy ACE (which don't have any notification led either).
If anyone owns CM7 with this phone I would really appreciate if I can get some advise on this. Is there anyway to configure the time out for it or to disable it ? I have just received a text message and let the phone alone without touching the home button for 17 minutes and the lights were still there
Thanks!

Notification Issue / question for stock updated to 6.0

I just flashed the stock image upgrading my Nexus to 6.0 MRA58K and for the most part love it but I have one issue that is driving me nuts and google isn't helping me.
I use GoSMS as my texting app. If the phone is awake, I get the pop up and ringtone notification when I get a text, but when the phone is asleep and I receive a text, the screen will wake up briefly showing the message but not ringtone. I have gone in to apps and set GoSMS as priority and gone through all sorts of settings to try and get it figured out with no success. Meanwhile if I get an email or even a tapatalk notification when the phone is sleeping, I will get the screen waking up and the notification ringtone just fine. I have a custom ringtone for GOSMS only so don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else run into this or know what could fix the issue?
