[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
Hi all,

This is a cool phone and all, but i'm on the verge of returning it because of one completely ridiculous feature: I'm a using Cingular in the US and after any transaction, be it making a call or receiving a text message, I get a notification on the phone letting me know how much it cost and what my account balance is. This would just be a minor irritation if it weren't for the fact that when it does this, it plays the 'notify' sound, at near to full volume, regardless of any of the phone's sound settings.

This essentially makes the phone useless for me a good portion of the time as the only way to shut it up during a meeting or whatever is to power it down completely.

I've tried disabling every windows sound setting i could find, putting it on silent, vibrate, whatever, that notification (appears as a bubble next to the connection strength icon with the heading "Phone") will always play, always full volume. In desperation i tried deleting notify.wav from \Windows through activesync and total commander, but it's write protected and you can't change its attributes. Cingular themselves call it a feature of their prepaid plan and can't disable it despite my railing.

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas that I can use to disable this stupid "feature", registry or otherwise, I'd LOVE to hear it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
Threaten Cingular saying that you let the whole world know that they are not willing to work with customers under any circumstances after the money is in their hands because of your simple request to have them remove a simple unwanted feature.

There are 2 reasons I say this:

1) Since "Cingular themselves call it a feature of their prepaid plan" it will happen regardless of any phone you use from them.

2) PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

(It may not go your way as seen in reason 2 - but at the same time after seeing reason 2 would you buy a motorcycle from that company that resides in Milwaukee WI. or recommend that anybody else you know do the same? :D )
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
Well I thought about that, but from cingular it's just a clunky product and second rate customer service, which, you know, happens.. The fact that I can't control the sounds my phone makes is a little more ridiculous. It basically doesn't have a silent mode, and should. So that's what I'm focussing on.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
Once again, this is not the fault of the phone but Cingular overriding the settings in their "feature of their prepaid plan".

----

When speaking to them about this do it in a polite mild tone manner.

Here is what I would do:

I would call customer service and ask to speak with their supervisor.

When that person gets on the phone, ask for their supervisor.

Repeat process as many times until you can get no further - each person will be more reluctant to bump you up.

Once you get the highest person you can speak with, they will be more willing to listen to your issues because it has reached them.

Focus on their inability to remove unnecessary features - that cause disruptions during important meetings because of a SMS sent - at the customer's request & poor customer service (that is reason why you wanted to speak with the highest person possible.)

Do not focus on the phone itself because it will happen on all their phones.

Also tell them that you have plenty of friends that are not happy with their current provider and are asking everybody about their provider & calling plans (leave it at that - that is making a threat towards them without actually saying it - let them think it).

If nothing gets resolved, then revert to STEP 2 in my previous post.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
Thanks for the advice longhair, I might get to the point of doing that. Right now though I'm more interested in the phone itself - Cingular after all just broadcast crap over the air - it's the phone's decision what to do with those signals, and right now that decision is "torpedo useability with an intrusive and unmodifiable notification noise". I write software, i'm pretty sure that somewhere in this little brick of transistors & code is a way to make for a real silent mode, I just need to figure out how.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
By what you are describing, the phone itself is not the problem but the provider - Cingular in this case.

I am using T-Mobile with the same phone and the service is much better than I had with Orange (Cingular's name out here).

Good luck and keep us updated :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] chickyd:
sorry i can't help with the sound issues - sounds rubbish! ... but you could try putting your phone into flight mode when in meetings etc to save you fully resetting it!! at least until you find a solution to the problem... stick with it!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jalex9:
I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.

Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted. The reason you couldn't delete it was that it was read-only.

I didn't try deleting the file itself but I would guess it would work. If not just replace it with a silent wav file...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
Yeah that's what I ended up doing. Well actually I created an empty.wav, copied it to the phone, searched the registry for the ref to the notify sound, changed it to point to empty.wav and bob was my uncle.. I had trouble overwriting notify.wav itself due to permissions.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kingbernie065111:
Can anyone post the key to edit to get rid of the notify.wav sound? I have a Cingular ipaq hw6515 and if I edit the only key that has the notify.wav value I still get the same anoying sound.:confused: The file is protected by windows, so I cant delete or edit it to make it silent. I just called Cingular and they say its a feature and there is no way to turn it off.....Thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
i THINK the key was 'InCallBuzz' from memory but I don't remember where it was.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kingbernie065111:
Humm, I had changed it and it didnt do anything. I will delete some of the keys to see whats gonna happen. Im crossing my fingers.... thanks for the tip anyway

:o
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kingbernie065111:
didnt do anything, even after a soft reboot.... must be a Cingular custom setting....
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] zwitterion:
keep in mind that if you change the InCallBuzz.Sound key to something completely bogus (or delete it), your phone will play some default sound anyway. That's why I had to change it to 'empty.wav' and make sure there was an empty.wav on the phone.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kingbernie065111:
:) Dudes, thanks for all your help. I went back to XP rather than Vista, and the XP explorer allowed me to change the notify.wav file. Now I have a silent file instead of the original and it works perfectly.

I guess Vista is less permissive than XP.

Again, thanks for all your help.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jalex9:
Interesting that Vista turned out to be the difference...

For those without access to XP, I wrote an installer cab to do the replace.

It should replace the notify.wav with a silent one then ask you to reboot the device. I tested it out on my HTC Wizard and it works. Really the only work it is doing is copying one file so it should just work but you never know...

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] liam1964:
Something is not right ... !!!

:confused: I have the same phone, and the same service, and the same bloody horrible notification messages everytime I so much as look at my handset - it tells me that did not cost anything and my balance is ...

However, something is not right with your handset because I can control the volume of the notify message when it arrives - it plays at whatever volume my handset is set to.

Sorry I can't tell you why, I am not very technical, but I thought you might like to know it should not play at full volume.

As a second matter of interest, I have also been talking to Cingular about turning the bloody message thing off.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] runningtiger:
I did not have to change the notify sound to an empty wav. Just did the reg edit to kill the bubble (linked to above) and it killed the sound as well. Also, worth mentioning is the cab file (above) cannot be un-installed if you decide you want your sound back for any reason so you'd need to manually undo what it does.

I mention this because I was having trouble with something on my phone keeping my phone awake after the notification (sound & bubble) popped up. After the reg edit, the notification still gets sent to your phone and, if it's in standby, wakes it up. You just won't hear the sound or see the bubble. Without the sound, I quickly realized I did not know my phone was sitting in my pocket with the backlight on. I needed my sound back! No big deal really, but should be noted so there are no surprises.

I finally found the program keeping my phone awake after the notification was port splitter. So, I changed some settings and put back the reg edit. Now I have no balloon and no sound when the notification arrives. When Cingular sends it to my phone, it lights up full for 30 seconds then dims then goes completely dark into standby mode.

Hurray! I hated that "feature" even though I could control it's loudness by lowering the whole phone's volume. I also hated OK-ing out of the bubble all the time. Thanks sdkevin for the simple reg edit that killed two birds with one stone!

When I switched over to tmobile about 2 months ago I decided to keep my g3 that I had with att and also got another one with tmobile.

My question is, can I flash tmobile roms with the wifi calling onto that phone? I would like to test roms on that phone first before flashing it on my daily phone
[T-Mobile LG G3] gtg986y:
bump.

Just got an AT&T D850. Have been trying most of the morning to move it over to a TMobile flash. However, TMobile only has the D851, which I do no believe will work ...

Has anyone successfully done this?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
Be aware of that ATT hardware does not have AWS HSPA like T-Mobile hardware.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tdtran1025:
I did what this 3 weeks ago on an ATT LG G2 using LG Flash Tools and KDZ file.

After the flash, the device booted up normally with TMobile screen. Yet, nothing worked normally, no signal. I couldn't even to settings as it quit every time. The end is a soft brick phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mickeyasamoah:
I wouldnt do that if i were you. I mistakenly flashed a D855 ROM on my D851 and now its bricked. No boot, recovery or dowbload mode. So beware.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
Only D850 Roms will work for you, no matter what carrier you are on. You will hard brick your phone most likely if you try any other variant.

Blissrom Nightly 2.0 external sd-card issue

Hi,

I flashed (dirty) Blissrom from version 1.9 to 2.0 and everything works well on my HTC One M8 (international version).

But when I installed the last version (from Friday), I didn't see my sd-card anymore (64 Gb).

It is visible and available in recovery mode (last version of TWRP).

I installed Android Revolution HD v34 and the sd-card was also visible again (but I don't like the Android Revolution build).

After that I installed the last official Blissrom build (1.9), but now I still don't see my sd-card.

I also tried the partition_fixer.zip, but that also didn't solve the problem.

Any ideas?
