Timo van Treeck@davidlohner Hey David, ich hab mal eine - vermutlich - Anfängerfrage. Mir passiert es immer wieder, dass ich nicht mehr weiß, wo ich was spannendes gesehen hab: fediverse, linkedin, bluesky.... früher konnte man mit #ittt eine Ablage in evernote machen. Kennst Du da was ähnliches, evtl. mit #obsidian? Vermutlich sollte ich einfach mal einen Wissensmanagement-Kurs bei Dir machen :)
PhilSalkieFound a solution to a problem I wasn't exactly aware of.
Thought I was having problems with my Android phone getting switched to silent or low volume, because I was missing many, many text messages.
Eventually realized that the text alert sound was coming out my headset, or out the phone speaker, but never both. I was sure it used to come out both, the phone ringing comes out both...
Realized that this is a new phone (with IR and thermal cameras) and that the problem started when I changed phones.
Some Internet searching determined that some utter moron at Google has decided that only phone ringing can play out both the headset and the phone speaker, text messages will come out the headset if it's connected, out the speaker only if no headset is connected. WTAF, people? I take my headset off and put it in my pocket - no texts for me. Update your Android, start missing texts.
A little more searching found an easy solution - install Tasker or If This Then That, and program a simple task to play a phone ringtone on any incoming text.
I've tested it for a couple weeks now, it's a flawless workaround for a problem caused by idiotic software designers who think they know more than their users. You can even program different ringtones for texts from different people if you like.
