Driving Mode Bug? - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I have driving mode selected and I deselect announcement for messages, the phone still announces the senders details. If I have the phone on silent, it still announces it. Is this a possible bug for our Gingerbread? Just wanted to see if any one else has this problem.

with announce you mean the notification sound? If yes then you should go to Setting->Sound->Volume and you can manage everything from there.

No, I mean like voice caller ID. The settings can be found under Settings>Voice Input and output>Text-to-speech settings>Driving mode settings

So I am the only wierd one facing this problem then

sms notification not always sounding

i was wondering if this is normal. i use tf3d and if i stay with in the conversation, if the person sends me a txt back, it does not make its sound notification nor does a notification come up. so is this normal feature that doesnt alert me because i am already in the conversation view or is something wrong with my phone?
yeah, i have the same problem periodically...
Here too. :-(
same here..
I have noticed this occurs when the text message thread is still 'open' on the phone. If you close that particular conversation and go to the 'All Messages' view, the notification will sound.
I believe this is a 'feature' so that the notification does not go off if you are looking at the application waiting for a text.

thats what I thought it might be. It reminds me of how IM programs handle replies where you can have the sound disabled if you have a chat window open
I've been trying to figure this out all night. It's been working all alone until today. I hard rest and the problem is still there. I flashed merdinH rom again, same problem. flashed to Energy ROM same problem. Flashed back to merdinH and have working to resolve this all night. Hope someone else has better luck then I've had tonight.

Yup, me too. I wonder if there is a registry edit to disable that feature. I want my phone to go off every time there is a message. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't close the conversation out, and just leave my phone in my pocket...next thing you know, 3 missed texts and the person thinks you are ignoring them.
I'm glad this has been brought up. Hope someone comes up with a solution.

[Q] Gmail 4.2 not respecting vibrate setting?

My GNex is running 4.2 now, and I've noticed that when the phone is on silent, the phone vibrates when new gmail messages come in. If I check the settings, it specifically says "Never" under vibrate settings.
Has Google changed Gmail's vibrate behavior in 4.2 so that Never actually means Sometimes?
Can anyone confirm?
I hope this gets fixed!

Yes, I have the same issue, for both Gmail and Calendar
It vibrates in ALL notifications. Someone knows how to disable it?
Regards!
Just a hunch, but I tried it and it worked. If you don't care about not having any notification for gmail (sound or vibrate) then set the notification sound to silent and vibrate never. Unfortunately you won't get sound if you want that, but at least it's not vibrating now.

I want to keep the vibration on for stuff like text messages, just not email. When I'm at work I can read my email on my computer, so I turn my phone to vibrate so that it's not beeping all day long. With 4.2, I've replaced beeping with vibrating. It's very annoying.
Google, never means NEVER!

This works for gmail, but not the email app that I use for my work email.

I'm having the same issue, and it's very annoying. I want to keep the image in the notification bar, but I don't want it to vibrate - like I had before the 4.2 update. I even tried toggling the notifications off and on and toggling between "only on silent" and "Never," but it continues to vibrate. I only want my phone to vibrate for text messages/google voice messages.
There is at least one bug ticket raised for this.

Star it to get it some attention.
Possible solution
Possible solution, for those of you who usually only run between sound and vibrate mode on your phone. Just go into the gmail settings and toggle the vibrate to "only in silent mode" you won't get a vibrating notification...
That's what I just set mine to do.

This didn't work for me. Always vibrates when in vibrate mode no matter what I have set. Funny enough, when I set the phone to silent mode there is no vibration even when it is set to 'Only in silent mode'.
I just hope this is identified as a bug and wasn't done on purpose. It's going to be an annoying few weeks while I wait for another OTA.
Any update to this? I'm having the same problem with text messages vibrating.
Same issue here. I have a custom 4.2 ROM flashed with this problem. I even tried reverting back to stock and reflashing. That did not solve the problem.
Same problem for me with official 4.2 OTA update, on a yakju galaxy nexus
That's no GMail bug, unfortunately it's a new "feature" introduced in Android 4.2. If you ar looking at the commits in AOSP, you can see it is a new system wide sound-to-vibrate conversion feature.
If you change the phone to vibrate mode, all applications which are playing notification sounds are then vibrating. Genious!
It should be possible to deactivate vibration therefor if you disable the notification sound in the specific app.

[Q] How can I turn off caller announce

Somehow I or an app or a setting has changed and all of a sudden every incoming call is being announced with an annoying (and loud) "Call from" in addition to the ringtone.
I have searched all over XDA and Google and found lot of people saying it is driving mode (turned off), but I have checked that and it is not set to do this, but it still it does the announcement.
I'd like to figure out what is causing this and turn it off -- any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Kevin
Hmmm...do you have any apps related to the dialer, phone, contacts, or anything?
I assume you've tried restarting?
And, this is where you checked for driving mode, right? In Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output -> Driving Mode is set to off?

I'll look back over my apps I've either tinkered with recently or installed.
I did confirm driving mode is off, but I decided to turn it on to see what would happen and I get two voice announcements. One says "incoming call from" answer the one I can't get rid of says "call from" in a slightly different voice. The one that says incoming is the one that is controlled by driving mode.
Thanks

This has been driving me crazy for days!
If you have Robin installed - this is the culprit. Go into the apps setting and turn off caller I'd!
Hope this helps...

That was it. I don't recall setting that but it recently updated so...

Yeah, I guess it set it automatically on the latest update... Very annoying!

Missed Call Notification

I'm not getting any notification when I have a missed call. Phone rings, stops ringing, and then there's no sign that someone called. Call does show in my call history.
I do not have notifications blocked for any app.
Is this normal, maybe a setting I missed?
same issue
I use Google Pixel and i started facing this issue from last 2 weeks appox..... havent yet got any solution nor even heard from anyone except you....

Haven't experienced this. Got a missed call on Tuesday with my Do Not Disturb on and saw it in my notifications.

I had true caller, it was preventing the phone from displaying the missed call notification,

it looks like the last update from trucaller solved the issue
I have the same problem. The Pixel 2 is connected with a Huawei Watch 2. And I don't get a notification on the phone or the watch. If I power off the watch I get the notification on the phone. After power on the watch the notification disappear from the phone. It is only with missed calls all other notification works well. Anyone a idea?
Same problem here. Solved unistalling Android Wear app updates *from WATCH*
Where can I submit this bug to AW developers?
I had the same problem on Pixel 2. Go to Truecaller settings-> General and DISABLE the "Missed Call Notifications". That solved it for me - started showing the missed call notifications from the default Android Phone app.
Also, (bonus), you can enable the Settings -> Notifications -> Blink Light. This causes a small LED light on the top right corner of my pixel 2 to start blinking white when there are notifications.

Call answering bug

When somebody calling me and I pick up, I can make conversation but phone is stuck on ringing mode, and after few moments hang up phone call, and I have missed call...
Somebody else have this problem? How can I fix this?

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.
