Greetings.
I've noticed that my cell (Wizard) doesn't always immediately ring when it receives a call. If I dial up my cell from my home phone, I'll sometimes hear a couple rings on the home phone before my cell starts ringing.
Has anyone come across this? Any suggestions/solutions?
I also have one other somewhat annoying issue. When I dial using VC and my Bluetooth headset, the dial tones are played through the internal speaker rather than my headset. All other sounds are properly redirected to the headset.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

I've found a fix for the ringer issue in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109.
However, I still haven't uncovered a way to deal with the dial tones playing on the inner speaker.
If playing .mp3 (or other files) as ringtone, try putting the file in internal memory instead of SD card.
This does the trick for me.

Hello everyone, my Hermes worked a looong time very fine but now i cant hear the normal "beep" when i adjust the volume. Also i hear no conversation when i phone somebody. Alarm sound is off too. I hardresetted it once but it didn't help. The weird thing is: I can hear the ringing sound when i get a phone call?!
It looks like the other person can't hear me either, thats a bit weird because i thought this isnt a speaker but a microphone problem... Two components crashed on one day? WTF? Need help
I have seen this problem with a different htc phone.
their may be a bit of dirt across the miniusb contacts making the phone think it is connected to a headset.
plugin a mini usb cable and waggle it round a bit then test calling someone hopefully that should cure it for you.
I have a very very similar problem with my Vario II. The sound is VERY intermittent. Sometimes it rings but when I pickup there is no sound either way, from the earpiece or mic, the other person cannot hear me. Most of the time the phone just vibrates (set to Ring and Vibrate) so I know there is a message or a call coming...not that I can answer the call. Tried soft resetting it and even changing the ROM, only works for about 5 minutes then the sound is gone again.
The device only works as a phone with a blue tooth headset, the rest of the time it is just a PDA....that vibrates.
anyone else experienced this? what happens is that during a call while using hands free, when an incoming call comes in, it automatically shifts the current call to loudspeaker, and switches itself back one the phone stops ringing :/
funny you should say that, it happend to me for the first time today, just as you described
same for me - got a text while listening to music and found out the sound came out from the speaker :S
I had a similar but slightly different problem yesterday. I was trying to listen to music with bt headphones - the music cam out of the speaker, but system sounds were coming through BT headset.
soft reset did not help, turning off bt headset and powering it again fixed it.
I had a same problem. It was really annoying. I searched a bit and found that setting the key "\\\registry\HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker" to 0 solves the problem.

does that stop it ringing from the speaker altogether or just with headphones?
Just with headphones.

Hi there everyone.
I am a new user of an HTC Hero.
I have a problem on incoming calls or sms.
I leave the HTC to lock by itself and, when i have an incoming call or sms, only the screen turns on. I can see the number of the dialer who is calling me on the screen but NO ringtone sounds from the phone. The same problem occurs when an sms is received. No ring is sounded by the phone.
I have checked everything concerning the sound preferences and (i believe) that i have not left anything un-touched.
Can anyone please "save" me from madness???
Thanks in advance!
I can't say for sure this is what happened, but humor me for a second and check a few things:
Of course double check that your volume is all the way up.
When you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, does it beep?
Do you have any music on it? If so, play it without the headphones plugged in. Do you hear the music?
When you turn speakerphone on during a call, do you hear the other person?
Do you hear any of these sounds using headphones? Do you hear people through the earpiece on a call?
If you don't hear any sound from any of the first few bullets, but you do hear things through the headphones and earpiece, it may be the speaker in the back that's broken. Again, this is just one possible cause, but I had it happen to me. I have no idea how to fix it other than to send it back to HTC or attempt to replace it yourself (I don't know how to do this and would not recommend it if you're not comfortable with it!). Thankfully, my phone fixed itself after a few days (well, with a little help, I accidentally dropped it on the floor from a height of about four feet, but again, I wouldn't recommend that!). Anyway, just a thought, hope it at least helps you diagnose the problem.
I have looked for quite some time (and tried a few apps) and maybe I am just missing something. I am looking for a way to send all tones through my bluetooth headset while keeping the phone on silent or vibrate.
I'm not worried about media tones as I know that works automatically, but notification tones. Right now I can hear sms and email tones through he AD2P but ONLY when there is some volume going to the phone speaker.
Any ideas?
Basically --> phone mute, notifications and system sounds through headset.
Thanks for any help with this

anyone have ANY thoughs on this?
Hello,
When people call me I speak through BT and they sound loud an clear. However when I try to listen to a voicemail I have to be in a dead silent room to even remotely make out what they are saying when playing back through Bluetooth. I have the BT volume turned all the way up. I switch to speaker, they are loud and clear. I'm not sure if this is an android issue or an LG issue.
Also no problem with google driving directions through Bluetooth. THe only time BT is too quiet is when playing back voicemails. I have to switch to speakers every time.
How do you listen to voicemails? Through phone by dialing the voicemail number or through a voicemail app?
Good question. It turns out that the apps is what is quiet. When I dial *86 my voicemail is loud and clear. Any suggestions (other than not using the VM app)?
I ended up trying another VM app and it didn't have the volume issue. Thanks for pinpointing the source of the issue.
Glad it's fixed. Ive only ever tried the T-Mobile voicemail app and it works alright except for the fact that it doesn't turn the screen off when trying to listen to the voicemail and if I manually turn off the screen then it stops playing so the only way I can listen with activating stuff with my face is speaker mode or Bluetooth headset.
