Hey All
Anyone ever had a problem where, despite setting the phone to ring and vibrate, all it in fact does is vibrate. I've reset it to ring and vibrate, soft resetted, made sure the sound files actually work and even real basic stuff like making sure the system volume is on etc. As you can probably appreciate, I REALLY want to avoid a hard reset due to the large amount of configuration I've done so any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried using one of the default ringtone files that came with the device, to rule out a problem with your sound files?
Where is your ringtone stored? Did you save it to the flash onboard or SD?
Guys, somebody shoot me, please..........
My Mrs had been fiddling with the phone and turned off the phone volume but not the system volume.
Sorry to waste your time......

Hi chaps,
I have a SPV M500 but for some reason it is very quiet when on the phone. In a busy street I can barely hear what the other person is saying. I have put the volume on maximum but still very quiet. Is there anyway I can make it louder?
Also, I can't figure out why the 4 buttons surrounding the cursor button locks from time to time preventing me making calls for no apparent reason but I can still use the cursor and the touch screen. This usually occurs after I've synchronised my phone or I have left it for a while.
Any ideas?
Cheers
you might want to post this in the Magician forum since that is what the m500 is. (its a bit more busy in there)
volume slider
Just slide this button up during a call. You should here the volume going up
edit/don't know why image doesn't show, but click it and it does
Thanks I know about the slider, it is on maximum but it is still very quiet... I have no idea why.
Sorry moderators, can you please move this to the Magician section please!
thanks saldous.
always best to try the simple things first. What's it like on speakephone (hold down the (green)answer key).
Was it loud before? Tired a soft reset

Speaker phone works fine. Thanks I didn't know it is activated by holding down the green button!
I've only had the phone for a week, its always been like this but just wondered if anyone knew how I could tweak it to make it slightly louder.
Would a soft reset wipe the memory etc?
soft reset doesn't wipe the memory; it's like rebooting windows.
Hard reset will wipe all memory, like formatting your harddrive (although windows is still there, but "reset" to factory settings)
Are you turning up both sliders on the volume control. There's one for windows and one for the phone.
There aren't really any tweaks to increase sound volume, but it's not very loud to begin with.

earpiece problem
also im using orange spv M500....it has that fault mate...the problem is with the speaker...thats too week so itz hardware issue cant help..
But still u can do some registry tricks...
install resco explorer to do it...
go to registry editor
find...-HK curr user-controlpanel-sound categeries-Incall-init volume set to 15
For some reason my 8525 won't ring on incoming calls. I have checked to make sure the ringer is set up in the phone and sounds settings and can even test the sound from there and it works fine, but no ringer will work when there is an actual incoming call. The vibrate feature works and other notification sounds work fine, just not for an actual incoming call. I've tried soft resetting the device, including pulling the battery and have even tried restoring to a couple of day old backup (when the ringer was working), but still no ringer. Is there a registry setting for this I can check? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Figured out the problem...no help needed. thanks
mine is doing the same thing...could you pls share how you fixed it?

I'm embarrassed to say that I simply had the volume for the ringer turned all the way down on the today screen.

I spent far too long far too long working this out too.
Hi folks,
Hope you can help.
I've switched off haptic feedback on the keyboard and find it a lot more usable without it. I've activated the "clicky" sound on the keys as this suits me best, however, the volume of the click driving the wife and my co-workers mental. I even got some dirty looks this morning on the train from others as I furiously (not really) typed out some emails.
Problem is, the keyboard sound volume seems to be tied in directly with the system sounds volume!
I need the system sounds high for text message alerts etc, but then, the keyboard is super loud; bring it down to an acceptable level and I can't hear texts coming in etc. To be honest even on low setting its excessively loud..
Is there any way around this? A reg tweak, substituting the wav file with a lower volume one? I don't even know where to start to be honest and appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry guys, just saw this thread. Didn't come up earlier for some reason:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588179&highlight=Keyboard+Volume
I tried the CAB there and it didn't lower the volume noticably. Is there a way to lower if further?
I've made a quieter version (attached). It's probably too quiet now
It's probably best if you uninstall the last version first, a soft reset is required after installation
Thanks soooo much!!
Installed and its better already!
Thanks again.

Hey everyone this is my first post so i apologise if this problem has been discussed at length already.
Ok so my current problem is that my htc hd2 wont make any sound whatsoever when using the rear speaker (so thats any ringing from incoming calls, notifications, videos, music etc..). I have played with the sound settings relentlessly but can't seem to change its current state and I have also done several hard resets. However, when accepting a phone call or when a pair of headphones are inserted into the handset the sound goes through fine, leading me to suspect that it is the rear speaker which is the problem (My speakerphone after accepting a call also doesnt work).
On two occasions I have been playing music on it in hopes for a sign of life and have had sound on very sharp bursts (no more then 2 seconds). In terms of any programs or updates that I have installed on to my handset I havent done anything but apply the updates from the HTC support website.
The problem ocurred on day 2 of using this handset and I have also sent an email to mobiles.co.uk to ask about a replacement handset. However I was having a lot of fun with this phone and wanted to keep it if it could be solved myself so if anybody has any ideas it would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Try a hard reset. If the problem persists after that, it's certainly hardware related.
Same thing happened to my HD2 today, all sounds just stopped working for some reason, music player ring tone, notifications, everything, did a hard reset and everything works again, it is a bit worrying when it just happened out of the blue like that.

Did you accidentally turn the volume down using the button on the side of the device? Stupidly, system volume can be adjusted using this button.

Yes it can. It either changes both system and ringtone together (if you only use 1), or you have a tab for both (if you use both volumes), as per the sound and display settings in the settings tab.
No, that was the first thing that I checked, I have the single volume unchecked as well.

I find the single volume the better option, less chance of this kind of thing happening. Other than that, it sounds like you have either installed a tweak or combination of tweaks which are not compatible or you have a hardware fault.
I checked it a lot of times, even tested it, and now I've found the root of the problems. My phone does not make a sound in loud mode. It does not make a sound when the alarm goes off, only vibrating. It does not make a sound, only vibrating, when getting messages, e-mails etc. Even when I am being called, the phone just vibrates, but does not play the ringtone, but the phone is in loud mode :S I did not tweak around with the phone, it is on full stuck, i has been working for 1,5 months, it started doing this last week. However, the speaker is working, it's not a hardware related problem, it must be something with the stock software.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Did you download another volume control app, it could be interfering with the settings you put your phone at.
Also did you try a hard reset?

Yes, I did download an alarm app after I found out that the built in is not making any sound, therefore does not wake me up. I don't want to do a hard reset yet.

Make a back up and then do a hard reset, if it doesn't fix it then you can restore the backup.
