Annoying busy tone

Ok, had my phone ages now, but recently noticed a problem
Whenever I call someone, and get a busy tone. The tone comes through my phone speaker, really loud (Enough to hurt my ears)
This is sooooo annoying, does anyone else get this? and does anyone know how to fix it??
Nearly dropped the phone to cradle my ear the first time it happened.

I get that as well :-(
I investigated both using the forum search and google, but had no luck.

very annoying indeed! i did some search too but nothing... anybody?

Tmo Wing Ring question

Does anyone know how to get my Tmo Wing to stop vibrating when its on ring for incoming calls and messages?
It can be very annoying that when it's on my desk it vibrates louder then the ringtone.

Try raising the volume, if that dont work.
Try an other rom. There are some usefull How-To's here.
Oh BTW. Welcome to the forum!!!

change the ring type

what i don't like is how i can hear the vibration better than i can feel it.

think about it as like a secondary ring mechanism.
i think the prevailing philosophy of many companies these days is "its not a flaw its a feature"

Anyone else find the vibration horribly weak?

I havent actually taken my phone out of the house yet, so I dont have any actual experience with the vibration (having it in my pocket and seeing if i feel anything). But wow, it seems really weak to me.
Usually I can hear my phone vibrate against the table when im at home, but I cant hear anything from the X1 at all.
Do you guys frequently miss texts and calls because of the weak vibration? or is it actually decent and im just crazy?

nope vibration strong.

I find it pretty weak also..along with the horrible speaker position, I too miss texts and calls.

If it wasn't for the vibration i'd be screwed. The ringtones are so low compared to videos/games. I don't understand what's wrong with the ringtones! I'm playing an mp3 and it sounds like 5 times lower volume then when I play it in a media player...what gives?

Is the volume of your ringtone loud? Tend to find most custom ringtones don't have enough amplification.

I bump the volume up of my tones in Audacity

Well, bouth the vibration and speaker is as bad as the w880i. All ringtones that use anything but treble is crap. The vibration is better with pulse vibration. So i use Valert that i found here at xda.

Does it change the SMS vibration as well as the incoming call vibration? I just want the SMS really, I don't mind my calls going to voicemail.

hmm I'm just using a regular mp3, but the thing is if I play it through coreplayer or the media panel it sounds a lot louder then when I have it set to a ringtone. Should I really have to increase the volume of a regular mp3? It's just going to distort it. I think it's mostly the speaker placement as it is easily covered.

I download valert and installed it to my phone. however, i can't find the program in the program list of the phone. Can you tell me how to execute this program or least where do i find/run the program from ?

On first install it puts the EXE in the Autostart folder, you can find it here, but it should be running automatically on every boot.

Weak?
Damn, when my X1 rings I feel like I just bought one of those machines you stand on and it vibrates your whole body for exercise.

The loudness depends on file.
I have one which is TERRIBLY loud.

can i please get this

i really need a text notification while i am on the phone, i don't care what the phone does while i am on it a beep or vibrate or extremely loud siren or mr. T saying "you gotta text FOOL!" i don't care. i love the phone and i love android and my G1 but i hate that when i am on the phone i have no way of knowing that i got a text from someone.
sorry if this seems rude but it seems to me that it would be incredibly easy to implement and yet we don't have it yet

i was just pondering about this. i was on the phone and got off only to find out that i had several missed txts. i was like, jeez android doesn't have in-call notifications?! lol

litterally just happened to me, and with root we should be able to build it into the ROM or if there is an app that will do it then please let me know what it is, last night i was waiting on a text from a friend coming over and then i got a call, the call lasted 15 minutes while the guy texted me like crazy telling me to let him in and had no idea i was on the phone(fortunately he understood what happened since he has an android phone as well)

Hmmm all my other phones did this... which were android, the click and the G1, I believe my phone does this as well, I have my texts set to vibrate and it does a little vibrate for me.

My rooted G1 has in-call notifications. The Slide does not. And I agree, it is irritating.

ya mines viberates its pretty obvious when theres a txt it annoys me tho gonna shut it off

yours vibrates when you are on the phone and you get a text? please let me know what settings you have enabled and what ROM you are on if any

you gotta use chompsms i think and it has an option for either vibrate or ringtone during phone call.

Handcent does this as well. Sound and Vibrate Notifications.

Incoming calls - buzzing sound [video inside]

Hi,
I'm loving my OnePlus 5, but there is a strange behaviour with incoming calls. When the phone is ringing and vibrating, sometimes a really bad buzzing sound occurs every few seconds.
It doesn't happen with every call and I have absolutely no idea what's triggering it. I've thought about the vibration motor, but then it shouldn't only make that sound for some calls.
Anyone else with this issue?

Ok, I've done some tests and can easily reproduce the issue:
It happens when vibration is set to strong, like it is set default for calls, and the phone is lying somewhere. As soon as i touch the phone a little bit or take it in the hand, the sound stops. It cames definitely from the top (right?) of the phone.
It would be nice, if anyone could check if their phone makes the same noises. Either call your phone or simply go to vibrations settings.

I've made a video of the vibration sound on strong settings. Would anyone please be so kind to check it on his/her device? You can hear the strange noise pretty well.
OnePlus support told me it was normal.

Just tried on mine, doesn't have the issue, the support is clearly ****ing with you. If i had this issue, I would just get nuts

Thanks for your reply. I've set vibration to medium as a workaround. It would have been hard to believe every device is doing this ugly noise, especially since you hear it with standard settings for incoming calls.
Nevertheless I'd appreciate any further feedback wether his/ her device is affected or not.

Bro, I'd like to know if this issue got fixed for you? I am commenting because I started noticing this too.

I had to RMA the phone. Unfortunately it's the only solution.

I have 2 days left before my 10-day-replacement policy is over. You're saying, your replacement device doesn't have the issue?
