phone takes 3 ring b4 allerting me? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

whats the crack?
if i ring my vario now, when its in standby, on the phone im using to call it, it conects and rings 3 times before the vario jumps into life and allerts me, giving me about 5 -10secs to answer b4 it diverts to voicemail?
its only recently started to do this??

mines done that from the start...doesnt really bother me, as i dont get many calls
i think i read on hear some one had found the registry settings to keep it 'powered up' in standby mode so it would ring immediatley, however the battery life sucked...

its causing me to miss alot of calls, really need to sort it

are your ring tones on your sd card? I read that that might be the problem.

yep they are, hmm will transfer it to the phone and see if that helps

after a few decades searching:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42674

my ring tone was on the phone not the card
cheers minty, i had searched but couldnt find anything usefull, will give that a try , looks promising

yeah...the search function is a pig!
good luck, like i said...your battery life may change

ring dam loud but still about 15/20 seconds before the phone makes a noise, it switch on after about 10second then rings 10 later!

still aint sorted it?
miss call constantly due to this the phone rings for 30 seconds, but starts to ring 20 seconds after the person calling gets the ringing tone?

Hi Fil,
Do you have PocketZenPhone or a similar profile app installed?

no pocket zen install, tho i dont know what that or similar is!
is that something i need? or something thats causing the problem?

Using Molski's 2.26 rom my Qtek 9100 rings with no delay at all, witout any modification. So if you don't mind flashing your Wizard, give it a try!

Hi,
Not something you need to solve the problem, just that some of these profile switching apps can cause a delay in the phone rinnging.
By profile application I mean a program that allows you to have several different settings and switch between them to change volume, ringtone, set to vibrate etc...
Thanks.

may try a new rom then, as the phones filled with crap anyways, could do with a clean out :lol:

It's a standard thing regarding PPC's, though as has been said before you can change the registry, but battery will suffer (SLIGHTLY)
If you don't want to, you can download Tweaks2k2, which has a fix to stop the 3sec delay, from www.tweaks2k2.com. There you will get a trial version which works for three goes...
Only takes one go to tick the box and restart your PPC though, and problem fixed.
Best Regards

NICE ONE and just like that its sorted
looks like that tweaks is a good tool! and at $10.85 or £5.72 ish worthy of a purchace 8)

XDA2 not receiving calls & late/none MissedCall notifica

Hi again,
After a few complaints that I didnt pick up calls, I did some checking on my XDAII.
Using other phones, I dialed my XDAII number. I did 50 calls to the XDAII using various type of phones, on various time of day. To my surprise, the XDAII only rangs 39 times (out of 50 calls) :x
Out of that supposedly 11 missed calls, only 8 times I got missed calls notifications, BUT after about 30 minutes later! Worst still I dont get any notification for the other 3 calls. :evil: I found no relation of the problem to the time.
I am very worry about this. I missed a few important and romantic calls . I am not sure if this also happen to anybody else. I am also not sure if the software I installed caused the problem or is it because some other problem (e.g. radio unit).
Please help.
-Red_Toyol-
One more thing to add. On the phones I used to call to XDAII, I did hear ring tones as if my XDAII actually rangs. So some people got angry (including my lovely girlfriend) because they think I didnt pickup their calls purposely.
p/s: I have to few extra dollars to buy extra flowers to my girlfriend just because of this. haha..
-Red_Toyol-
I have had the same problems, Are you running any other software on your XDA II? I have personaly found that MOST of the task managers cause lots of problems with the XDA II (I think its somthing to do with WM2003 Phone Edition).
I have found the exact same problems using the task manager called Wisbar. are you running any thing like this?
If you are uninstall it and try again... I'm waiting for special Phone Edition version to get released... nothing seems to be good that works that I have found yet...

Sound disappears after busy signal

On my V1605, when a phone call hits a busy signal the sound is transferred to the speakerphone. This seems to result in all phone sounds being shut off completely. Only a soft reset will restore the sounds. Anyone know of this - or has a workaround?
The same happens to me. No workaround for the moment. I have a XDA Trion with the Dopod 9000 rom...
Thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if there is..or will be, an update ROM from Vodafone?
it would be interesting to know if this issue is already solved in the latest rom available i.e. the imate one...
Is the same thing happening on the 3100 or Vario II?
I am beginnig to consider the possibility that we are the only to be affected by this issue...Noone is replying to this thread! Is there anybody out there to confirm this bug?
Perhaps no-one has ever had a busy signal. Would someone like to try this out and feed back their findings. Thanks

After 120 views of this thread and no reply from any other people I think that we can exclude that noone has never had a busy signal. Perhaps the issue is not firmware related and we can try to consider other alternatives. Can you tell me what have you installed and where (internal or external memory)?
All I have istalled at the moment is Magic Button to internal memory and Acrobat Reader 2 to Storage Card. Both work really well and this problem with the busy (engaged) tone being sounded on the speakerphone was before MB was installed, but after Acrobat Reader 2.
I have installed acrobat reader on the SD card too. I'll try to uninstall it and report the results although it seems very strange that such a software could create an issue like this...
I've the same problem.
For re-obtain the sound you can use the dial pad for the phone and the sound come back!
But your battery go down very very very fast.
Hello
I have the same issue with a french HTC TyTN (not a vodaphone) on SFR.

Good workaround, thank you! The sound comes back at the first pressure of the dialpad. Much better than a soft-reset...

thanks
I have the same problem with my TyTN. I upgraded to WM6, and the problem still exists. In my case the sounds don't turn off after the busy tone, but it's annoying enough that independent of the sound settings (even if the phone is muted) the busy tone will come out of the speaker on the back of the phone with a reasonably loud volume :/. Weird that there is no workaround for this .
Found a "solution" in another thread:
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Thanks to shadowcaster for the tip.
Also you can remove the Script key to disable te busy tone.

Phone won't properly switch from vibrate to sound

at&t 8525 owner, here.
So, I've had this issue for a little while now after I flashed Shadow TE ROM. But it's continued since then... so here's the issue:
I go into work and turn the phone onto vibrate. After I leave work, I switch back to sound on (ring & vibrate). Even though the icon shows the sound is back on, it's not. It only vibrates. It acts as if the speaker is still asleep.
So for awhile I'd have to reset my phone every day to get it working again until I realized I can go into sound settings / notifications and I find that the phone's jumped back to the default ringtone and more than that, I have to literally push PLAY to test the sound in order for the speaker to "wake up" if you will. Then the phone's fine until the next day.
Ok so back to present:
I got fed up and thought it was Shadow TE. So I flashed CRC's v9.2 ROM. Still had the same speaker issue! I was advised to flash a shipped rom.... which I did.... and flashed CRC's v11. Issue still remains.
I've searched the board and could only find one other person make mention of this a couple years ago and no one ever addressed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Same problem here with a custom Titan ROM. Installed the same software as every other ROM that I've used so the problem must be in the ROM somewhere.

Could be... but why does no one else seem to have this issue? Wouldn't there be tons of people replying here?
I did find that instead of switching it to vibe when I arrive at work, I switch it to silent... and SOMETIMES when I go back to Sound it works ok for a few hours but then it goes back to silent without warning so I miss calls and texts a lot. Might as well force the sound back on through Notifications Menu anyway. I'm SO getting away from Windows Mobile ASAP.
As soon as the Blackberry Bold is released here in the US, I'm buying it.... unless something about it disappoints me, in which case I'll settle for the iPhone 3G. The Bold can't come soon enough.
Who would like to claim this Hermes when I'm through with it? What are you willing to pay?
Try making sure that your ringers are in the windows\rings folder. Saw it somewhere else and it seems to be working.

Can't pick up the phone! Anyone else?

Well, thats it, I actually can't pick up my phone when I get a call. I can push the green pick up button as many times as I want, but it wont respond, and I end up having to call people back. Anyone else with this issue? (phone info in sig)
I am only going to take a guess and say that you have a lot of programs that run in the background.
Maybe try not using auto rotate.
I agree with Neobbs although when I first read the subject, I thought maybe you needed to work out more....
Same problem here. I can have the phone in my hands looking at it straight up when the phone rings and the phone goes black for about 5 seconds (or about 2 rings) and then the caller id comes up and I start hitting the call/talk button to answer. It goes to VM eventually and me hitting the green button ends up bringing up the recent call list. Auto rotate is disabled, but I do have weatherbug, open home, caller lookup and IM running in the background. Oh... and I have the transistions/animations enabled. That's all i can think of. I'll try removing the caller lookup app to see if it eliminates the problem.
hi,im running rc33 stock rom on bronze tmo g1 in singapore..it happened many a times,even on a cold boot up..wonder what is the actual problem here,mine is not rooted at all..

I think it's a good, fair and valid question.
Do you have installed a customer ring tone ? if yes, choose original ring tone and try again.
I had the same problem when I started using my phone. I dunno what changed but the prob. has disappeared or I got used to hold the pickup button down for a bit longer automatically. I got the feeling that this helped the issue.
My phone is RC33 not rooted... and to answer you question: I've tried but I'm still fighting with my XP to accept the USB driver.
Guess again!

mine does the same randomly. Straight after a factory reset.
nothing installed, and my G1 is not rooted (yet).
has anyone found a solution for this problem?
Using RC33 with weatherbug running in the background, but it occurs with it installed and without it installed
I swear, the G1 must be the worst phone ive ever used
can't wait for the touch pro 2 now...
google can't release polished software if their lives depended on it.. selling a beta phone is just bs

Yep, must be terrible if about 4 or 5 people have this problem out of the thousands who have bought it....
I've never had any of these problems, but im guessing they're (probably) firmware related.

most probably just call back and arent bothered to find out how to fix it on xda
anyways, when you say firmware related, what did you mean?
I installed JF 1.42, and before that, his earlier versions, and way before that my phone started out with RC18, which I then rooted. Would it be linked to that? I've wiped my phone like a dozen times, but the problem is reoccurring perhaps once or twice a day, out of about 30 phone calls a day
additionally, although this may be linked to t-mobiles ****ty service, have you guys noticed a large increase in dropped calls?
I use my phone in both austin tx and houston, and in both locations, about every 10 calls is dropped, I dont know if its just the horrible service they have, or when I move from a location with 3g to edge.
With the new radio, the dropped calls have reduced in number, but still occur randomly
Also, one more thing, and a little off topic, but this has been bothering me,
Is there anyone to get a SMS application that allows me to type using a numpad or something similar on the screen? or at least, have spell correct, cause chompsms' keyboard is way too small to use one handed and still have legible messages, unlike the iphone where the errors would be auto corrected

I'm in austin, tx too and I also get the black screen of death almost every time I get an incomming call so maybe it is a location based thing? My g1 is rooted and I have over 70 apps installed and I'm not about to uninstall them 1 by 1 to see which one could be causing it. In the past, rings extended was said to be the one causing the problem but I don't have that installed.
Also, there have been enough requests for t9 and auto correct with chomp, I'm sure it will be in the upcomming updates
Im running Haykuro now and haven't had a single incident so far. Also, I have 73 (yes, seventy-three) MB of free system memory as I moved pretty much EVERYTHING to the SD card. In return, my phone is unable to boot without my SD card... which is a bit strange.

Some oddities with the Touch HD - 3 Questions.

Hi there,
I've recently had someone ask me how to resolve the following issues on the Touch HD.
End key, when set to lock the handset, isn't.
Ringtone ending too quickly, so the ringtone stops ringing, but the caller still hears ringing and the call can be answered (this is also happening on my HTC Hermes).
The other thing is, where the handset is shutting off overnight, meaning the person who owns the phone misses the alarms which were set, due to it being off.
Is there anything I can say to this person to sort these problems?
Thank you,
I think more people are inclined to answer you if you put a topic of note on your post.
"Some" doesn't really cut it does it.
As for your issues...perhaps the ring tone is set to only play once in the settings which is why it's stopping.
As for the lock...did you have S2U2 on at some point?
Remember the topic thing for next time please!!! I hate those sort of topics
Firstly, the topic is a minor issue, since I had already typed it, and it hasn't fully shown.
I'll edit it to reflect what it should've been, I'm not the typical n00b user of forums, and I do try to be fairly to the point.
Secondly, which part of "I've recently had someone ask me" do you not comprehend?
This is NOT my phone, therefore I do not know what has been done, and what hasn't been done.
The original user is someone who contacted me recently, and I'm trying to find the best way to resolve these issues.
As for the ringtone, I know on my phone its set to be continuous. Only by pure luck somehow I managed to answer my phone after its first beep this morning, half asleep, but it had beeped once from my ringtone and stopped ringing on my end.
If you can explain S2U2, that would be handy.
Thank you,
Upon reflection, do you agree it might be prudent in future to ascertain what steps have already been taken to rectify said "problem" before posting?
As for S2U2 - it's an application (there are others like it) that locks the screen of the phone - I have seen applications like this disable the default locking mechanism upon uninstallation. That was the reason for me asking - perhaps you could get your friend to check that?

I'm quite sure he understood what "I've recently had someone ask me" means - but you can't really expect us to help you in any way if you can't answer any follow-up questions! It's pure guessing this way!

S2U2 is a locking app available here: http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/
I've used it myself for a while and never had any issues. But I guess Wiggz is hinting at problems that might arise after uninstalling S2U2 (I hard-reset my device instead of uninstalling - so I have no idea) since S2U2 sorta does the same job as the standard locking using the end-key.
A hard-reset would probably fix all three issues - but I guess that isn't really an option if your friend asked you for help... :/
I'll have a look into the S2U2, and get this person to try it.
Since the handset has only recently been delivered from replacement, I can't see how a Hard Reset will work, but always worth a try.
What would you recommend with the custom ringtone issue? It happens on my hermes also, so not sure what would be causing this.

Are you sure the ringtone is of sufficient length to match the ring/pickup pattern - i.e. 30 second ringtone for 30 seconds before voicemail?
I had this problem with my alarm when I first used it.
