O2 XDA2 Mini phone keypad sounds bug? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Something strange that I found out.
Go to Settings, then Phone. Under Keypad, there is a choice of Tones, Beep or Off.
It seems that selecting either Tones or Beep gives the same effect, ie whenever I start keying in phone numbers using the onscreen keypad within the Phone application (not the Phone Pad SIP), I hear DMTF tones.
What I want is for each keypress to generate a standard "beep" sound, but that doesn't seem to work.
I tried it on a colleague's Mini and am convinced that it is a bug. :?
Anyone knows of a workaround?

How to key in command digit to generate DTMF during a call?

I am using Wizard with WM5.0. The phone software is the default one.
When you dial a service hotline, you normally hear the voice prompt: "English Press 1, French press 2"... How to press the 1 and send the DTMF touch tone over to the service provider? I tried press 1 but there is no DTMF tone generated?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer my question.
Strange - it's working (and has always worked with all the ROM's) great with my Wizard. In addition, Menu / Options /Phone / Keypad doesn't have any effect on what is sent out to the other party.
Try doing this with as many DTMF-based services as possible to find out whether it's a problem with the particular service you've called up or a generic one.
In the phone app, you should press "keypad" button to bring back the phone keys during the call to generate DTMF.
Hi, Menneisyys,
I have tried to call two different hotline. I failed to get throught the first question such as : "Press 1 for English, Press 2 for French...". It seems that these two service provider do not have problem as I can call them by my land wired phone.
Hi, micvario,
Yes, I am able to go to the Keypad. But pressing any digits does not send any thing to the hotline...
Very strange....
Hi, when you use the keypad, do digits appear on the screen and can you also hear the tones from the speaker? If so, I suspect the problem may be with the signal quality..
Hi, micvario,
Yes. The digit appear on screen and there is tone from the speaker....
ok,
1) you can call your own landline to listen if tones are really transmitted
2) check signal strenght; i guess if its zero or one bar only, you may not notice in speech but it could be a problem for tone processing at the other end... try to increase and try again..
3) if there are loud background sounds like music, traffic, this may also interfere with the tones..
Hi, micvario,
I made a mistake last time.... (Haven't try this for a few days).
When I press "1", "2".... during a call, I can't hear any DTMF tone generated.
Is mostly a hardware error or software error?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem
I'm having the same problem. Since I'm using PV4 when I press the keypad I can hear the tone, but no DTMF are sent to the other side of the line.
No DTMF during call
I'm having the same problem. I can hear the tones and the numbers are displayed but not sent across the line. So, I can't delete voice mail. HELP! I also had some one on a voice call tell me they couldn't hear the tones.
Anything further on this? I have the same problem on my desire z. Can hear the tone on my end but no recognition on the receiving end...

Phone keypad tone problem

Hi guys,
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing a program (forgot the name) that would make the phone vibrate as you keyed #'s on your phone pad, and it didn't work, so I uninstalled it. But what it did was screw up my phone keypad. It doesn't sound the typical # tones when dialing, just a ping for each #, and it is also a lot slower to respond to keying each number too.
Anyone know how to fix it back to the way it was without a hard reset?
I even installed Eten Dialer today (great program with the larger keys), and it has the same problem (slow to respond to each keypress and has the ping sound for each key).
Help!

The way the HD vibrates, can this be changed?

I had the same issue when I had a Tytn II last year.
My issue is that when the phone rings while in normal mode, it is one constant vibration, which I dont like.
Also when i receive a text message in normal mode, the vibration is constant and lasts for about 4 seconds.
BUT
when the phone is in vibrate mode, the vibration for calls is a on/off vibration which I like, and for texts is 3 sharp vibrations which is a lot more useful in distinguishing whether it is a phone call or text that i am receiving when the phone is in my pocket.
Is there anything I can do to make the HD behave the way it does in vibrate mode for all calls?
There must be some sort of registry setting that can be tweaked.
Thanks in advance for any replies..
anyone?
Try this, It could be what your looking for.

Would also be interested.
i remember back in the day, my Nokia 6310i (yeah not even color phone) would vibrate to the ring tone.
valert is cool, but on the HD has a bug that disables volume keys
I've installed VAlert but cant find it anywhere?
Try the attached utility. It's conf is under system settings.
nezz, the app has cyrillic interface: any chance to have it in latin (or at least a translation of what the 3 checkboxes mean?)
thanks
Is there a reg tweak for this? When you turn the phone on it does 2 short vibrations. i would like to use this as the sms vibrate alert. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Wizard when calling Answering Machines...

I have a Cingular 8125... and there would be times I'd be calling say my service provider...
Usually an answering machine would be picking up the call and tells you to
press 1 for...
press 2 for...
... and so on...
How the heck do we do this? This seemed to be my only problem with our beloved Wizard... pressing the touchscreen doesn't do anything, and pressing the keyboard won't work either...
Anybody have their own solution???
Go to Settings Phone Keypad drop down menu and select Short or Long tones, I use Short tones.
I don't think that the situation has got nothing to do with long/short tones... and anyways... I didn't find any tones list under settings/phone keypad option...
any other clues???
I think you misunderstand, the options are, Long tones, Short tones, and Off.
The reason for telling you to enable the tones was so we would know if your phone is producing the sounds.
This is just step one in the process of elimination, so just enable the tones, then report back and let us know if it’s still not working.

[Q] Dialpad Numbers Stopped Making Sounds

I somehow seem to have lost the ability to enter numbers on the dialpad when I'm in the middle of a call (to enter an extension, make a phone tree option, etc.). The numbers do make sounds when I'm not in the middle of a call (like to manually dial a phone number), and it certainly worked fine very recently, so I must have made some setting change, but for the life of me I can't find it. The "audible touch tones" options is turned on and every volume setting is set to max under "sound and display." Rebooting did not solve the issue. If anyone knows what I did and how I can get my tones back, I'd be very thankful. Thanks.
