Motorola Photon 4G :: Specific Task Have Specific Notifications Or None At All?
Aug 8, 2011
On my HTC EVO I could set notification sounds by application. For text messages I had one tone but none for email. On the Photon I have the same tone setup for text messages coming in through Handcent but it also plays for email coming into the native email client which I do not want. Is there anyway to ether turn it off or select a different ring tone for emails?
Also what is the over/under for Motorola getting tired of hearing "I could do it on my HTC..."
This is probably a n00b question, but is there any way to assign a specific ringtone to a specific contact? I just switched from an LG Lotus, where I was able to give each contact a specific ringtone. I'd love to be able to do that with my Style..
So I have 2 calendars, my personal gmail calendar, and my work (exchange) calendar. I like the gmail calendar to have a certain notification sound, and I like the work calendar to use another.
I also use Microsoft's Outlook app for my work email and calendar, and set those notification sounds how I want them.
What happens is if I have a work calendar notification popup, I get the right notification and sound from the Outlook app, but then I also get a notification and wrong sound (it uses the gmail calendar sound) from the Android calendar app.
I know I could just disable the work calendar within the Android calendar app, but I want it in there because I have a widget set up that shows my agenda from both my personal and work calendars. If I removed the work calendar, it would leave the widget.
So I don't know if all that was confusing or not, but here is what I want: Personal gmail account calendar notifications from Android calendar appWork exchange account calendar notifications from Outlook calendar app. Both personal gmail calendar and exchange calendar set up in Android calendar app so I can see them both in my agenda widget
What I don't want is when a work event occurs, is to get 2 notifications about it using 2 different notification sounds. I only want to be notified from the Outlook calendar app.
When I get attachments, I want to be able to create specific folders to store those attachments in. The folders that Quick Office seems to point to are dcim (which, to my knowledge relates to pictures) and a directory called LOST.dir. How do I (1) create folders (or a directory structure of folders, and (2) tell Quick Office to point there? Or, do I have to tell GMAIL what to do with attachments?
I'm trying to import passwords from an XML file. I exported the files and sent them to my Turbo and saved the attachments. Problem is that the app is looking for the file in a certain file.
I'm trying to figure out how to create the file name that the app is looking for.
A 2nd atrix in my house recently had a keyboard issue which prevented using the keyboard in the portrait mode. It responded but not correctly. Eagle328 suggested downloading another keyboard, which solved the keyboard use problem so that we can at least use it in portrait mode.
We have now realized that a specific area of the display on all home screens is "dead."
That is, if you divided the screen into 5 equal sections from top to bottom, the second section does not respond anywhere from left to right of that section.
Example 1: if you had your home page filled with app icons, you would have 20 icons. In the second row of icons (from the top), not one of the 4 would respond. All others would act normally.
Example 2: If you had 4 notifications and you pulled the screen down, you could tap the first one, the third one, and the fourth one and get a response...but the 2nd one would not respond because it ends up in that second section of the screen.
I'm thinking it is time to take the phone to the AT&T store, but wanted to throw this out first. As with most of you, this phone is used for business, and would be extremely inconvenient to take into town,... but afraid it may be that time.
I know there are apps that do this, ie Light Flow being one of them that allow you to change the LED notification color for specific apps, like red for gmail etc.Those apps drain battery from waking and such and was wondering if Motorola could incorpate that feature into the Atrix 2.
How about in addition to being able to assign specific ringtones to contacts -- to even assign a ringtone for a text message from a particular contact?
So far I have been able to assign a ringtone to only 1 contact. For all the others I have tried thus far, I select the ringtone that I want, hit OK and it goes back to the default ringtone. This is strictly the Phone Contact list. I am not using any social networking apps at this time. I do use the Verizon Backup Assistant for my contacts, but that has never been an issue on any of my previous phones. This is the same contact list that was restored from my old phone to this one and the contacts have not changed.
So far I really love this phone, but I seem to have stumbled across somewhat of a glitch that I can't figure out yet. This "smartphone" doesn't seem to allow me what a simple BASIC phone always did....and that is to allow me to assign a different ringtone to specific contacts. I do see that it is an option however it won't save the change on some contacts, but it does on others. I select the contact I want to update, I tap the menu option, then select "Options." I open the Ringtone dropdown, select a new ringtone, tap OK....but when I get out to that previous screen - it once again shows the ringtone as default. I don't understand this. Why will it let me save on some, but not others? I compared one contact that didn't save....to another that did save. They both have the same type of info - a mobile number, an email address, a home address, a facebook link, and a birthday listed. One saved - the other did not.
On the first gen droid you could send a number directly to voicemail, or have a silent ring. However, I cannot figure out how to do it on the Droid Razr...There is no option, and it will not allow me to create a Smart Action to do so, either. If you know
Selecting "Motocast Computers" in the Files Application the computer shows that it is online. When selecting my specific computer it returns a "Failed to load content.Please try again." message. This used to work and show folders and files. My WiFi and data connection is working but cannot resolve this.
I want to update or add specific map (country) to my N97mini.Let me explain what I do:
1. connecting N97mini to PC via USB
2. Open Ovi Suite (newest version)
3. Go To > Maps
4. It's reading my device and connecting to the Maps server
5. I can see the "All" link under "My Device" for about a second
6. It clears the "All" link under "My Device" and locks the maps shown in the upper left corner
7. In the window to the right it just says...
"Maps have been updated. You need to download the updated maps.During the download all existing maps are deleted and new ones will be transfered to your device. This may take some time. >> Download updated maps."
My concerns:
- As I have whole Europe on my device this will take a lot of time, I only have around 1500kbit available.
- I only need to update a particular country and not all my maps.
- I'm not able to "add" any other countries (deactivated, not chooseable), this worked before when I added Europe to my device.
Also, I can reproduce this problem on my second computer as well.
I have a problem with sms with one person in particular. I think it's because I have too many sms. So when I open the discussion, it takes a long time to open and sometimes it blocks. Idem when I want to write a sms. So my question is : how to delete specific sms without deleting the entire discussion or deleting the sms one by one ? And an other question : is it possible to store the sms on the sd card ?
I keep receiving between 2 to3 SMS's per day from a user just identified by a number (namely, 70371). The messages contain a URL address. These 50 to 70 messages per month serve no purpose but to increase my phone bill. I have asked my carrier (Movistar), who has told me there is no way to block the sender (obviously: my carrier is happy with the fact that 10% of my phone bill comes from these SMS messages). Any way to block a specific sender?
I am using a Torch: I am not able to able to get specific SMS tone for selected contacts working; have tried assigning on each individual contact in Contacts; have tried assigning on each contact using Tools (Sounds and Ring Tone); have tried assigning SMS tones using group of contacts in Tools (Sound and Tone; Contact Alert); for all these setting the SMS tone still goes back to the common tone assigned for the phone. My ringing tones for contacts work fine for different contacts, but not for SMS using the same method in the manual or as guided by the Tools menu.
I want to block one specific number ans maybe even forward it to another non working number. I have an S5 thru Sprint and I cant figure out how to do this. There are tons of apps out here. I can believe an app like what Im describing doesn't exist.
I have 3.01 on my 3G now. I can't use most (or any that I've tried) jailbreaking software because most if not all are for 3.1.2. I have 3.1.2 IPSW downloaded, but when I go to update the firmware in itunes, it only allows me to upgrade to 4.0.1.
I recently upgraded from my 3GS to a 4S.I remember when I set the ringtones on the 3GS is was quite easy and intuitive being a selection off of the contacts page iirc.The interface seems to have changed adn I can't figure it out now.
Traveling to the states and wish to use an app called gasbuddy which provide a map of gas stations in the US Tried to download it but the response was that the app is available in the US only .How can I benefit from the app or is there a similar one in the Israeli app store
BBM has stopped working with one specific contact after i updated the software and the bbm so. I can't send this contact a BBM message and always it gives me the mark ( X). However, when this person tries to send me a message, it gets delivered instantly. When she BBM other people it goes through fine, and when I BBM other people, the message gets delivered and they can reply with no problem. It's just this one person that I cannot send her anything but can always receive her messages. We deleted each other, pulled battery multiple times and still no luck.
