Xperia Z2 :: Cannot Change Notification Settings While Music App Playing / Open
Apr 10, 2015
I haven't found any way to change notification settings (silent/priority/sound) in Xperia Z2 when listening music or if music app is running after listening music. I have tried with different music apps (Walkman, Google Music, Spotify) and problem is present with all music apps. This problem came with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) upgrade. If I want to change notifications, I have to stop the music and close the music app. With KitKat I could just press the power button longer and get the notification settings, but not anymore with Android 5.0.
I have a 3GS using OS 5.1. I have several Broadway albums I listen to. Is there a way I can set one album to play the songs in order rather than shuffle?
Info: iPhone 3GS, iOS 5, Main syncing computer is MacBook
I just bought a brand new 9860 Torch today and all of a sudden I cannot open the options menu to change settings. Also I cannot view my network and connections to see whether my data service is turned on. I am currently not receiving data on my device. This is alarming as I spent a small fortune to acquire this device today. Again I discovered to my horror the earpiece jack does not hold in the port of my device and unable to listen to music via handsfree. The options icon on the home screen does not open at all when I touch it.Instead it freezes. Same with the network and connections options under network connections.
Here's the problem - I pull down my notification screen and as I'm reading the notifications, my phone locks after 3-5 seconds of inactivity.
I can't for the life of me find anything in settings to change this so that I can view my notifications for a longer period of time before the phone locks. It's not so bad during the day because I'm able to check my phone regularly before getting a large build up of notifications, but it's frustrating when I wake up and have a long list that I want to read through to decide which notifications I want to read first.
I'm running os6 on my 9700 and the calendar won't let me change notification method for different appointments. At the very top of the appointment page, the field labled 'Send Using' i.e., Facebook, email. How do I change this?
While playing music (mp3s), it happens sometimes that my X10 (Gingerbread) freezes up for a few seconds. After a few seconds of blackuut, the music keeps on going normally.
What can I do to remediate or at least to mitigate? If it the problem is due to resources shortage and/or processor overload, which applications should I stop?
I have problem with laging bluetooth, when i listen to music through car BT radio, after some time it starts to lag and music stops, my father has a problem with calls, after some time he cant hear the other person, and that other person cant hear my father, his then then starts to lag too. Is there any way to fix that problem, or will be there any update repairing bluetooth?
My iPhone 4S sometimes stops playing music by itself while I am playing music. This occurs while my phone is on standby/locked mode; that is I am not using any apps.
For some reason my Z3 won't play music on my Sony car stereo, I use a USB cable as the stereo doesn't have Bluetooth, but it doesn't recognise the device, I've had to buy an ipod and that works fine.
I've had this phone for about a week now and just noticed that the sound gets distorted when playing music every now and then.
I listen to music on the way to work but after work when I try it, it's cracking/stuttering/skipping, basically unlistenable.
At first I thought it was black player but then the same thing happened on the music app. Different headphones didn't work, it's even happening on the speakers with headphones unplugged. But I've found it is only happening on music as I played a movie at the same time ; the music was shtting itself but the movie audio was fine.
The only sure fix is to restart the phone. Even then, after once I do something else and come back to music, it's all distorted again. Music is on internal storage. Don't have an sd yet...
I have just purchased a Sony Z5 (2 days old), when trying to listen to music through a headset or via Aux to Aux in the car, the music also comes out of the phone speaker. I have cleared the data from the SMART CONNECT app and i have done the usual IT solution of turn it off and back on again, but this hasn't worked.
When i put on the headphones for listening to music it doesn't come any music from them, except in the mobile instead and when i turn on the little earpiece that came with your mobile they work perfectly. I do not like the little things! Why is this happening and how do i fix it?
When messaging app is closed I receive an initial sound notification for received text message. When chat window is open and texts are received there is no sound with each new text (and if window stays open while you are doing something else you have no sound notification of text received within that thread).
I have an Xperia Z5 compact. This was playing my music apps find for the first 3 days. Then it started to glitch, by stopping my music playback if I turned the phone 90 degrees one way or another as well as playing back through the phone speakers when the headphone is plugged into the jack.
I've tried trouble shooting mentioned on other parts of this forum. I didn't have the google maps "shake to send feedback" feature on, and this behavior is happening on multiple music apps (Podcast Addict, Google Music, Sony Music, Spotify, etc). So this seems to be a problem native to the phone, not a third party application.
I've just got my z3 and updated it to the recent update. Now before this update I was having a play around as you do and I got to admit I really like the phone and is functions. So I went ahead and updated the software. After doing this I noticed that some of the functions that I really liked, for example the mute function has disappeared. No problem I found out you can just use the volume key to do this. However I have been reading about the whole volume setting operates both message and media.
So my question is, can these be separated as in you set the volume for messages without affecting your media volume or do I have to keep adjusting the volume each time I'm finished watching or listening to a media file in order for me to hear my message notifications?
1) I want to change the proximity sensor settings i.e. turn off or on. apart from the secret menu is there is a way to do in x10 mini. I am using droid 2.1
2) When one receives an sms an envelope icon appears in the notification bar. how do we disable that feature.
I bought my Z2 from Dubai and used it there for almost 6 to 9 months. Recently, I came back to my home Country India and when I tried to install few Apps (for egs:- Quikr, OLX India etc), its showing as 'This App is not available in your Country'. I tried my best to find such kind of settings where I can change the current country. How to change the country in settings or how can I change my phone's settings to be compatible for such kind of apps.
After disabling "Show Notification" for apps on SD card, reboot the phone, this setting will become re-enabled. It seems the setting does not stick for apps on SD.
I've tested these steps but no luck: - disable it, move it to SD, reboot. - disable it, reboot, move it to SD, reboot. - move it to SD, disable it, reboot.
Not sure if this is a bug or limitation of Lollipop. I'm using 5.0.2 on D6653 (build # 23.2.A.1.62).
So when I first got the phone, I managed to change my Notification tone from one thing to another. Now I just added a new tone that I downloaded, and I put it onto my phone. I set that new one as my CURRENT tone, but when people txt me, the tone is STILL the same as the one I set before... Even when I try a different ringtone that was on my phone, it still doesn't work...
I tried to change the notification sound, but it's always the default sound even if the phone says that it's changed... why?I have to wait for the firmware update to 4.0.1.
Ok I switched this week form iPhone to Android purchasing a shiny new Z5.
Because signal where I am varies dramtically from 4G to 3G etc so just changing rooms in my house will get me this notification.
Driving to work will get me several notifcations so its extremely frustrating, especially when it cuts in to songs etc that I'm listening too as I use the phone while running, it's also my main source of music in the van.
I have tried to change my notification ringtone on my Sony Ericsson x8 for the 1st time. I have done everything correctly & the settings show that the new ringtone has been saved, however the old ringtone sounds when a text or other notification is received. I keep checking the settings & it shows the newly saved one, but obviously this does come through as that one ....NB I have successfully changed my Phone ringtone, the problem only lies with the Notification one.
