My phone settings are not saved - Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers

I edited my settings in the 'settings' panel, some other various settings in 'Music' panel, phone voice level during calls and when hand-free is plugged in, ... etc. When I shutdown or restart my phone, the settings are back to default.
Your ideas are highly appreciated!

disable message, screen illumination, download full email

Hello, everyone;
I've got a TP2 on WinMo 6.5 Pro, and would like to modify it a wee bit to do the following.
First, the signal lost, call dropped window that pops up. I'm an over the road truck driver, and this happens alot in the mountains. Is there any way to disable this silly message?
Second, the backlight always comes on whenever it looses/regains a signal. This is an extreme annoyance, bordering on dangerous, situation when driving at night and I am constantly distracted by the sudden glow from the screen. Can this be disabled?
Finally, emails. Is there a setting that will force the entire email to download, doing away with the tap-here-to-download-entire-message thing?
Much appreciated, everyone, and best wishes for a great day!
Fred
Not sure on 1 or 2, sorry. For 3:
-Launch the inbox (Microsoft version, not Sense). Scroll to Email tab and tap Inbox
-Menu --> Tools --> Options
-Tap on the account
-Tap on "Download Size Settings"
-Message download limit dropdown --> Entire Message
-Download Attachments dropdown --> All attachments
Edit: Not really a solution for the second issue, but if you turn on the "Automatically adjust backlight" feature it won't be quite so bright when it does turn on. Start --> Settings --> System --> Power. Check "Automatically adjust backlight".
Perfect! Issue 3 solved. Thanks, bud.
Anyone for the other two?
entire message
From the inbox of an email account - tap the soft button to the right of the keyboard one (menu?). tap on tools then options - tap on the account you wish to modify. You should see an option for Download Size Settings - select "entire message from the bottom drop down menu then click done.
If you are going through an Exchange Server then run the Activesync app on the phone. Click menu then options. Hightlight "email" then tap on settings. Change the download size limit to "entire message" and ok your way out.
I can't help with the other issues as I am new to this phone too.
Ok. Someone beat me to it.
No worries, mate, thanks for chiming in. You did illuminate another method, and thankfully you two have solved one annoying issue. The others will require entering the registery, I'm sure.
Thanks!

On the Email Issue, go to the inbox, tap and hold to bring up the context menu, select Tools / Options, and you can modify the download settings.
settings\sounds and notifications\ notifications tab... in there you can change what different 'events' do.
If there is a setting in your phone for what you want it will be in there.. if not It's likely a registry change you need to do. That I cant help you with as I wouldn't know what you need to change specifically.

Not waking up for E-mail

Just notice that my screen isn't turning on when a new e-mail comes in, like it does with new text messages.
I get the sound, but the screen/phone doesn't actually wake up from sleep.
Anyone else experience this? or know a fix?
I have a Tilt2 with stock rom. I added BsB Tweaks...which has a feature for "wake up phone on/off when receiving SMS" it IS turned ON.
...I didn't notice this earlier...so I can't really recall if this was already an issue or is due to installing BsB Tweaks...

Try this setting (I don't have my phone right now, so it might be a little different):
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > New E-Mail or New Message (in the drop-down) > [check the box] Display on Screen.
Good luck.

Yeah I have this on for sure.
When the phone is on with the screen on the Display appears on screen. However if I hit the power button (making the screen black), when I get a new e-mail the screen doesn't light up/turn on...

Message Vibrate Not Working

I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?
Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.

[Q] Mute Volume for notifications but leave it on for phone ringer?

[Q] How do I turn off volume for text/notifications but leave it one for the phone ring?
You don't till root
Interruption mode?

@pepporony: yup
There's a relatively easy way to do it.
1- Go to Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions> Priority Only
In here, you customize the settings for the Priority Only mode (see point 3-)
2- Check Incoming Calls and uncheck the rest (or however you want it set up)
3- Back to home screen, bring down the notification panel, tap on All Interruptions, which will turn to Priority Only.
Done.

it works, :good:
Alternatively, you can set system sounds to silent (settings -> sounds -> volume). That includes notifications, annoying boot noise and audio touch feedback.
I don't know what else it turns off, but whatever it is, I don't miss it.
With this approach you can keep the priorities logic intact.

Ringtones settings

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with the sound settings.
When i go to change the ringtone for calls, sms, alarm etc it shows the mp3 files that i have in my phone and not the stock ringtones menu of the device.
I clicked that option accidentally the first time i went in the sound settings, and i can't undo it.
Is there a way to see the ringtone menu again?
Thanks!
