I upgraded my XV6800 to 6.1 using the official upgrade. It's giving me trouble answering calls. When a call comes in I see the notification but when I try to press the Green phone button or the left soft button labeled 'Answer' it doesn't do it! It's like the keys are slow or something. When I use the soft button is DOES flash the soft button label like it recognized the button press. But it does not answer the call! I've had this happen at least a dozen times now so I know it's not just me fumbling with the keys. 9 times of of 10 I can't answer a call!
I've tried hard resetting the device and the symptom persists. I've tried using it without the microSD card loaded. Still the same trouble.
Has anyone else seen this? Or can you recommend a solution?
so your saying it doesn't show "connected"?
I had something similar to what your describing but it would show as "connected" on my phone. I couldn't hear anything when I'd answer. I realized after several attempts it was that the phone was paired to my cars bluetooth... I was trying to dial my phone as I was walking away from my car but I was still within 30 ft of the car... so all speaker and microphone was still being redirected to the cars system. lol. Same can happen with a bluetooth headset where the conversation (speaker/mic) is redirected to the headset that may be in your pocket or on the kitchen counter. But it would at least show as "connected" on the phone.
I feel stupid/foolish for shareing that experience but figured just maybe its what your experiencing.
Thanks,
Ben
*edit: by the way... when I had the 6.1 vzw upgrade I had no problem placeing and receiving calls, with the exception of the "user error" I described above. You could always try rolling back to 6.0 and upgrade again. Did you install any other new software after the upgrade to 6.1?
I have been experiencing something similar. PPC 6800 (not Verizon) with 6.0. When phone is locked and call comes in, can’t answer with the button or with BT. 6800 keeps ringing long after caller goes to voice mail. The only way to escape is soft reset. I’m running the original ROM & Radio that came with the 6800.

Nope, never shows connected. It's like the UI has gotten hung somewhere and isn't passing control over to the phone app.
No bluetooth pairings have ever been done to this phone, not before the upgrade and certainly none since. BT isn't even enabled.
Tim may be on to something regarding the lock situation. I've found the lock method a lot less friendly than before 6.1. Can't quite pin it down but it just doesn't seem to unlock properly. Again, it seems to be related to something making the phone 'slow'. On-screen keypresses in the Lock app don't seem to register with the same speed as before 6.1. I can tap a couple of them and not see anything on the screen, then they all run through (showing the screen buttons getting pressed).
My Xv6800 Verizon Does The Same Thing. I Push The Green Hard Button To Answer And It Takes Like 5 Seconds To Answer. It Seems To Happen More When I Have Programs Like Internet Explorer Up, But There Is Still Plenty Of Memory So I Cant See Why It Would Be So Slow. Its Just Frustrating Because Sometimes It Takes So Long The Call Goes To Voicemail And Nobody (fiancee Included) Believes Me! Any Help From Anyone?
fyi... i use an auto close program so when I close an application it really closes. I don't have the slow response or ability to not answer within 5 secs, etc. maybe it is a low memory issue you are experiencing. I don't lock my phone so that may be it too. Sorry I'm not much help here.

No, it's definitely not a low memory issue. It's doing this fresh after a reboot having had no other apps even started.
Hello all,
I purchased my HD2 on release day and so far I love it. For the most part the phone has been problem free and everything works perfectly. However recently I ran into a few issues.
1) When playing music with Windows Media player or the Music Player I will sometimes get odd skipping in songs. I looked at my screen and the microphone symbol at the top of the screen was blinking like crazy and I could hear a voice asking me to repeat commands again. I believe it was the voice dialing feature. One time it actually called someone. My phone started dialing out in the middle of a song and I had to pull the battery to make it stop calling people.
2) Text messaging.. The text messaging app has some serious bugs. Hopefully there is an update or a better solution out there. Some of the problems I have with texting are: Phone goes to a crawl when a text comes in, when typing texts it will just stop showing what I am typing. I have to click all around the window and sometimes can get it to come back up. If I cannot get my text to come back I have to close the app down and then go back in.
3) I am not sure if this is related to the sms app or not but I tried to edit a contact and the phone become incredibly unstable. It restarted itself and when sense loaded it popped up a message saying that swipe was not designed for my phone type. After that reboot my phone acted up a lot until I restarted it about 6 times. Then it was stable but the texting app was worse than ever.
I did a bunch of google searches and couldn't come up with any fixes for these issues. So any input would be welcome.
My phone is stock. I have no interest in flashing a new rom. I blame all these problems on sense (WinMo actually seems perfect despite what the uneducated spew across the net daily).
Thanks for reading
1) Sounds like you're simply activating the MSVC, which is done buy a long press off the send key (you're probably accidentally long pressing the 'play/send' button on the headphones.
Two solutions: 1) Simply disable MSVC (Settings>personal>Voice Command; Uncheck Enabled) 2) Be more careful so you don't accidentally press the button.
2)Just click the text input area (just above the keyboard where the text is suppose to be) and everything you typed will show up and continue to show up.
3) Never heard or seen this.
I don't know how much stuff/time you've put on/into this phone, but you might want to consider a hard reset.
Thank you for your response:
I was not using the headphones. I had it connected to my stereo in my Jeep. The HD2 was sitting alone on the seat next to me with nothing around it. It's done it several times now - so I don't think it was anything environmental.
Clicking in the text area used to work fine but not anymore. I have to click the last text message that came in and it will open a option menu, close that and then click in the open text area several times. This started happening once I tried to edit my contacts and my phone lost it's mind.
I don't want to do a hard reset but it might have to come to that. I have all the apps I like installed and everything seems to be working nicely with those few exceptions.
Ohh and one last complaint. Slacker >< why does it stop playing songs so much? I read other people were having problems with that too but I cannot seem to find any fix. Should I just give up on it and go to Pandora?
For some reason the files are there to make a sound when connecting to the charger but the phone just vibrates. Anyone know how to enable this sound when connecting to the charger. Thanks!
Switch to Sound mode instead of vibrate/silence should help
Only helpful posts please. Of course the volume is up.
Is the System Volume up? Tap the gear behind the volume bar and check if the bottom bar is set to silent.
Yep. System volume is up. Does yours make a noise when connecting to a charger.
Mine just vibrates. No sound.

Thank you! The files are there to make a noise when connected to the charger but it does not work. Hope someone has an idea to get the sound back?

Huh. No, it doesn't.
I never noticed, I always have system volume turned off because the power fluctuates here just enough to keep triggering the sensor, and on my S3 it kept making a bloody racket every other few minutes. Very irritating.
Turned it up, but no, it doesn't make a sound. Just vibrates.
Those sound files are only there because Samsung did a lazy copy of the generic sound files they use in their nature ux theme. They just copied them all instead of deleting the ones they didn't use in the Note 3.

Guess there just is no way
Hi,
Something which might help is an application in the Play Store called Light Flow (allows you to set all things colour, sound and vibration for events which occur). The fee-based version has a 'Charging' notification which will play a sound when you connect your charger (just tested it and it works). Perhaps check out the Lite version first and see if you like it and/or it has this option for free!
But just let me add... I used to like this app but I don't use it any more. I had to remove it from my S2 because of a talkback issue. Now with the Note 3 there seems to be issues with the LED light not working as it should when the app is enabled. You also have to inspect each event (e.g. SMS, etc) and make sure what you had on before the app was insalled is still on (the app only has a certain number enabled by default and overides stock alerts).
Hope this helps.
Jonty.

use the app from playstore called PLUG SOUND. that's all it is for to make a sound when connecting your phone and dis-connecting your phone. best thing is you choose the sound from your phone anything you want. hit thanks if this helped
Ancient thread, I know. Mine turned out to be a setting to allow exceptions when do not disturb mode is on (which it is always on my phone). In (Pie) Notifications->Do not disturb->Allow exceptions->Touch sounds (on). With it turned off, I get no sound when I plug in the charger.
I've been using the Moto G4 Plus for about a week now, and it's working well for me. Some of my questions I've been able to answer via usage or research, but there are two minor ones that I'm curious about: Update: I received answers from Motorola to my questions about MTP and the ringtone (1st comment) and have documented them below in red.
Under the "Developer options" settings, I have the "Select USB Configuration" option set to "MTP "Media Transfer Protocol". However, when I connect to my PC via USB, I get a notification "USB for charging", and I have to open that and select that and change the setting to "Use USB for FIle Transfers". Is there a way to have MTP (vs. charging) default when connecting the cable? According to Motorola, the phone will default to charge only every time with no way to change it. That's a security feature so that your files aren't automatically exposed.
I use the Daydream option when charging and docked. In those cases, Daydream runs for a while, but after a period of time the screen goes completely blank. Is there a display setting to keep Daydream running as long as I'm connected to the charger or dock?
Thanks in advance for any insight that anyone may have.
I just thought of a third question and failed to post above: When the phone rings for an incoming call, the first ring is extremely faint, then it raises to the normal volume. Is there a way to have the ring commence with the normal volume so I don't risk missing a call? Thanks. According to Motorola, the ringtone volume is a protection against having the phone ring loudly right in your ear. It can't be changed either.

That's supposed to be a safety feature so the phone won't blast into your ear. When I was rooted on the G3 I used an xposed module to fix that.

Yeah, that's what Motorola indicated. It's okay, but to me it's kind of an odd rationale, as I generally don't have the phone to my ear when it starts to ring, only when I'm answering. I haven't rooted the phone yet. Waiting a while, and curious as to when N will come out. Thanks.

There was a huge discussion on this in the Moto G2 forums. Many people contacted Motorola over this and their answer was this - No. That is a safety feature and will not be changed. So everyone else modded the system to work with that. Secondly, the MTP thing? That's also a safety feature that won't be changed. You'll have to use an Xposed module to set MTP as default.
I keep my daydream as a digital clock, full brightness, working on "either docked or charging" mode. Never experienced the issue you are facing.

Thanks for the info.
Does anyone know how to disable the Alert Ready system in Canada on a NON-rooted phone, so I don't get these stupid notifications? 99.9% of these are so far away that they're pointless.
I already disabled the Emergency Alerts option in the Messages app but that doesn't appear to have worked.
Has any tried removing com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver through ADB? Not sure the consequences of doing that...Might just screw everything up lol. I haven't had time to test.
Thanks.

If you have TWRP recovery, just make a full backup and try.
Did you get this to work? I want to turn them off as well!
I'm not rooted and didn't have time to backup and try.
It should work but you will lose all system broadcasts (data usage notification, roaming notification, etc.)
So I finally had the time to try this after being woke up several times at 3 and 3:45am for an alert happening 1600km's (1000 miles) away and this didn't work.
There is no package on my phone called com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Quite honestly if you guys don't have anyone to call you for whatever reason in the middle of the night, make a "routine" for silent mode during your hours of sleep. I'm in Canada and I was never woken up by these messages. My phone goes to vibrate from midnight to 6am. Barely an inconvenience...
Yeah, unfortunately I can't put my phone into silent mode or turn off for the night.
I don't mind getting amber alerts, I think they are important, I just need to get rid of the sound lol. I wish there was an option to disable the loud alert and just get them silently - If I'm out during the day, I would see them even if they are a silent notification.
FYI - it looks like putting the phone in silent mode or turning on do not disturb doesn't work for stopping the Canada Alert Ready broadcast.
Still looking a way to mute the alert...
I've been wondering too... Got like 6 in a row today about 5 minutes apart each, same thing for 1000s miles away. I tried within messages app but no dice despite there being settings available.
I did just try blocking that number those all came from to see what happens there if anything.
The odd thing also is, when one comes through it changes my notification vibration intensity to far less in my settings. And for whatever reason, my keyboard vibration seems attached to that setting too. So to type after getting these alerts I was missing most of that haptic feedback that I enjoy - though most don't. Finally figured it out
I don't understand the many in a row with the same info. Thankfully I was awake at the time, this time.
I wouldn't mind at all if they pop up, with no sound and no vibration. But no such luck so far.
I'm not even sure as a rooted user what I could do to stop them. My last device didn't support them. This is new to me! I would keep this device in wcdma mode and avoid completely, but for whatever reason texts take SO long to send on anything except LTE...

i was getting them on my Cricket S9 until i flashed the U1 firmware and removed any sign of cricket from the phone. I havent got one alert since then
I bought my phone outright unlocked though from best buy .ca, not from a carrier so it's not carrier branded at all. Seems the sim card presence is all it takes to perform alerts....
i *may* have come across something! I wont know until theres another alert whether or not these settings are overridden as well when amber alerts come in. But just tonight, kind of my accident, I had plugged in my phone to my PC, and while intending to change usb connection type, i actually found a whole other menu of settings. the notification for "usb for file transfer" given by Android System, I accidently long held on it, and then i got curious so i clicked details. that brings up this menu of android system notifications, one of which is "alerts" which was by default set to urgent under importance. scroll down a bit more theres another option "network alerts" which was also set to urgent.
Ive fixed both of these. And now, we wait... this may have already been tried, im not sure. but i just wanted to share in case it hadnt
Didn't know that menu existed. My 'alerts' was set to sound (beep once) and the 'network alerts' was set to sound and pop-up. Not sure if these are for the network alerts like amber alerts or for other alerts such as roaming, etc. I live close to the border and will go down next week. I usually get a data and roaming alert when I cross into the US. I'll see if I still get it with those two turned off. Have to wait and see with the emergency alerts...

Hmm interesting keep us posted! I wondered if they were all in the same category, maybe severe weather and amber are "alerts" and roaming is "network alerts" ? Not sure but maybe? Either way I put both to no sound. I don't mind the visual popup, it's the overriding sound settings that scared the crap out of me while sleeping. Silent is fine

So I went to the USA twice in the past week. I had the 'Alerts' turned off both times and:
First trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned ON and I received my alert that I was roaming.
Second trip, I had the 'Network Alerts' turned OFF and I did not received my alert that I was roaming.
So that definitely prevents the alerts from your service provider. We'll have to wait and see with the next amber alert if it prevents that as well.
So we got an alert tonight... I can't say on vibration, but my phone was on silent and it definitely didn't make that horrific screeching sound. I wasn't in the room so I can't speak on if it still vibrated or not. I have mine set for visual only but no sound or vibration... Hopefully if there's an update I'll be next to my device to confirm further on if its totally silent like I set it to or if it over rides and still vibrates... But horrific screech is definitely gone so far [emoji846]
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
So I had my phone on me for the first alert and the volume of my phone was turned down. I received the alert and the horrible screeching sound but it was at the volume I had my ringer set to so the volume was low.
I turned my phone to vibrate after that in case there were updates - I didn't want to be woken up. Not sure if my phone vibrated or not but there was no sound for any of the updates I received (two I think total).
I never received anything from today's amber alert text - no popup, no annoying sound, nothing at all.
I use Google Messages for my text messages and did the following in Samsung Messages:
1. In Samsung Messages>Settings, I disabled all permissions and blocked all notifications under all sub categories.
2. In Phone Settings>Apps I selected Samsung Messages and under App Settings I blocked all notifications, revoked all permissions, set Appear on top, Change system settings and Install unknown apps to Not Allowed. I also Force Stopped Samsung Messages to be sure.
Then I set Google Messages as the default messaging app.
Another user on Reddit wrote:
"This technique works because the Android Messages app expects the com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver package to handle WEA message (so Android Messages doesn't have any code to receive them), and the Samsung Messages app (which you can't remove, which does have WEA support) no longer has any permissions to receive anything, so it can't alert you even if it wanted to. This deadlock basically ensures you won't get alerts, provided you never enable Samsung Messages ever again."
This disables all alerts. It's too bad they didn't develop this system to allow users to silence the alerts. I'd be fine with a popup or message, I just don't want to be woken up at 3am to a blaring siren for something happening 1000km away from me...
I can confirm that even without disabling Samsung messages, all the other settings I had changed made it so that only a silent pop up happened. No screeching, no vibration, just the visual message only. My device was set to silent.
Still can't say what kind of sound it would make if my sound were on or if it would just stay silent. But with the goal being to not jolt me awake and terrify me, I'd say mission accomplished!
I don't mind the visual one at all. In that regard I only mind when it's duplicates of the exact same alert. Just because you'd think they'd want to work all the bugs out before starting to use it.
But if they're testing it today, I guess that means they're at least working on it. Progress!!
Personally I use a different third party texting app cuz I love my theming. But I bet it's similar to android messages where it doesn't have the ability.
I'll sometimes see alerts later in with my regular messages, but it doesn't screech at me. That's what matters lol.
When you've got a disability that limits you, you can't exactly help search to begin with. If anything real alerts just produce a bit of guilt in me that I can't do more to help even if it was for something actually close by.
Side thought though, when it is a true amber alert, instead of just a text description, why don't they also send pictures? It would be so much more helpful. How many guys have dark hair and drive a pickup truck, an accompanying picture would go a long way. Maybe in the future that will be a next step? [emoji848]
