Hi all.
I have a brand new HTC Snap and just upgraded the ROM to version 6.5 (french version). When I modify a profile (normal for exemple) and set incoming calls to Ring + Vibrate, when I receive a call it only rings but doesn't vibrate. Note that when I set to Vibrate profile, it vibrates Ok. Does anybody else has this issue ?
found it
never mind, i found the problem. i think this is a WM 6.5 bug. if you go through the home screen to Profile and change the Normal profile to ring & vibrate it doesn't change. however, if you go through Start -> Settings -> Profile, and change from there, then it works. go figure.
I think you will find that if you use the volume control it will rewrite all the profiles that you set paramates for. The new 6.5 volume control allows you to set a volume, or vibrate, or silent. When you select any of these, it rewrites all profiles to make it work.
I suspect HTC did this, to "enhance" the volume control. Unfortunately they totally messed up with regards the profles, and effectively made them unusuable.
I have now reverted back to 6.1 on my Dash 3G, as I rely on the "automatic" feature of profiles in meetings, everyday.
HTC, or anyone who can help - is there a way to have 6.5 with the 6.1 volume? It seems from what little I can find on the subject in forums, that not many people seem to care about the "profiles" anyway. It's a shame, as this is a big feature in WinMo - the settings you can have for each profile -compared to other OS's.........
Anyone?

UPDATE:
Looks like the volume rocker actualy updates the registry each time at:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sound Categories/Notifications OR Reminders.......
Ring vol and vib seem to work ok on Ookba's 2.6 beta rom, but the Reminders and Notifications are screwed up. HTC's fault, not Ookba's. Oh well, back to 6.1again for the moment.....
Any solution out there that anyone knows of? Pleeaassee?!!!!
not anoying
Ok, I see the volume rocker problem, but that's not really a problem for me since I don't use it a lot, I just use the 3 profiles Normal, Vibrate and Silent and set the volume permenantly in each profile settings. Thanks for the feedback.
Htc screwed up the profiles in WM 6.5 with their custom volume interface. I had the same problem, it always reverts to HTCs defaults. To fix it you need to perform a registry hack. Under HKLM\services\htcvolume change prefix=VOL to prefix=NOVOL and reboot your phone. This will bypass the HTC Volume overlay and use traditional WM volume interfaces. The only thing you lose is the quick links to silent and vibrate via the volume rocker panel.

Do you know if this fixes the problem where the System Volume does nothing? I upgraded to 6.5 (T-Mobile stock version) and the Ring Volume in the profiles affects both the Ring and the System -- In fact, if you completely mute the System Volume, you still get noise. Does this registry hack fix that, too? If it does, then man, you rock.
I believe so, I have a VZW Ozone and my system volume turned off in my profiles, yet when the phone rings, it rings correctly. I am not sure what system volume is for, so I don't know what to check against when I turned the System Volume up. The fix is easy, I would try it. Reverting is very easy, you just put the registry setting back to VOL. VOL is just a variable that is called when you use the rocker keys and the HTCVolume service is listening for. By changing it, you never initiate the HTCVolume Overlay.

Awesome, I'll try this.
If you want to test the system volume, go to a file and act as though you're deleting it. Hear that blip sound it gives you as a warning before you confirm the delete? The System Volume will affect that. On my phone, the System Volume can be completely muted, but if the Ring Volume is turned up, that blip will still be deafening. Kinda sucks when doing stuff like listening to music and then getting a call in the middle of it -- Especially when wearing headphones.
I had to try this out, unfortunately I can't edit the String in the registry. I'm using CeRegistryEditor, maybe someone could suggest another program that may change stuff like that?
If you want a registry editor on the Phone -- PHM Registry Editor is the one I used.
If you want to use a registry editor on your PC (with your phone hooked up via USB), you can use Mobile Registry Editor 1.1

No problem : ) Google is easy enough. Sweet, it worked with PHM! THanks ^^
Worked for me
I used the registry hack and it worked great for me. Thanks so much. I was about to go back to WM6.1 or even WM5 because I use the profiles so much and it was driving me nuts! I have WM 6.5 on my first gen dash and it's like a new phone. I love it now!
I am really liking my Dash 3G. The only problem I have had was sometimes on my reminders, the volume would be silent. I tracked it down to when I used the side volume buttons. After making the registry change (using Total Commander) suggested in this thread, I have not had anymore problems.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does that mean that the rocker becomes useless afteward ? Is there a way to recycle this button for something else ?

Hey everyone,
My XDA doesn't ring anymore when someone rings me.
If I go into phone options, I can change the ring tone, and they work in there using the play button. They are very low though, even when I put the phone's volume on max.
Then I go back to the home screen, try to ring my phone and it doesn't ring. The vibrate function still works and it still makes a noise when I get a text. Just nothing when it rings.
Any ideas? Cheers.
May be You already did it, but if your phone switched to "vibrate only"
mode?

Nope, but thanks anyway mate.
Anyone? It's doing my nut in now!
OK, obvious things to try / questions etc:
Have you tried to soft reset?
Do you have a "profile changer" installed (pocket zen phone for example)
Is the ringtone selected on (tick in the box) (dumb question i know, but...)
Are you using a default tone? or one you have added youself?
If its a custom one, edit on PC and increase the amplitude (make it louder) - try again - any better?
Have you one anything / installed anything etc which caused this problem? if so what
Is the phone & master volume at max? if not try with them both up all the way

1. - Yes

5. - No
6. - Right, this is where we made some progress. I usually have my master volume set on the level above nothing (i.e. very low) and my phone setting on the lowest one. I assumed that this was the in-call volume. But I put it up a notch and the ringing was back. Yeah! So I assume it's the whole phone functions' volume and not just the in-call volume. I can see the logic but I'm not completely sold.
Anyway, you are a legend and I thank you very much.

IIRC to adjust the in-call volume you must be in a call and then use the slider on the side of the wizard. i'm not 100% sure but this is as good as my brain can manage today

hi, bsterngillet,
im also new to this here. just got my o2 min s last week. i just started tweaking it. i experienced the same situation as yours, and seemed to have figured out the problem.
with the original rom, AND without any program installed, the volume sliders behaviors are:
Master volume slider adjust Ringer, Notifications, Tap
Phone volume silder adjust Phone
however, upon installing "certain" programs (in my case, a language translation/inmput software "Monster Chinese 5.1"), the volume sliders behaviors altered as:
Master volume slider adjust Notifications, Tap
Phone volume silder adjust Ringer (but ALSO as a subset of Master Volume --- so it's like a old school mixer, master volume has an effect on the whole scheme of things)
The phone volume can then be altered during a call.
So, my settings now is:
Master volume slider = Halfway
Phone volume slider (i.e. ringer) = First click down from Max
Phone Voice volume= adjust as needed
hope this helps .... and hope this is correct.
I had a problem with this before...
I had been using my headphones prior to this though and when I put them back in and out it worked fine
Thanks to your thread i have been able to sort out exactly the same problem regarding vibrating but no volume. It did my nut in too, funny how there is usually a simple answer just around the corner.
Cheers

Hi,
I noted with interest when going into the Ringtones etc config section via the HTC Settings interface there are a number of profiles defined. This is something of interest to me as I miss these from my Nokia days (one for at work when I want subtle, one for in the car when I want loud etc).
Is there a quick way to then get to (ie. switch between) these profiles once configured that anyone has found?
Thanks in advance.
Yeah i was about to post the same thing, how annoying....
Yeah, you could just click the volum rocker and choose between Silent, Vibrate or change the volue of ringer or system to suite your mood it is very handy and quick.
G-profile is a good solution ...

Um your are reading into it to far, it means what it means lol.

i guess i just have to consider G-profile then, anyone knows any free version of G-profile?
I definitely propose CommMgrPro (also in this forum - use search).
The skin work is bad (but you can make something nicer yourself if you like), but the function is perfect. After all the developer owns an HD2.
He soon plans on a GUI update, but as I said in terms of functionality, it is unbeatable.
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"
Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.
If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!
I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).
Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.
Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.
I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.

You can go to your START/SETTINGS/SOUND & DISPLAY & unlick where it says use single volume for both settings!
@toreone
Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is.
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.
I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...

This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.
SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.
So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.

I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..
I love 235XX rom interface so much but the volume control interface is not convenient. Everytime when I set it to "vibrate" mode, ringtone is off but the phone also muted at the same time. Finally, I use 219XX loathly.
So, I want to know can I use the Volume control interface of rom 219XX in rom 235XX. Or have any method to "prevent" the phone is muted when using the rom 235XX setting to "vibrate" mode.
Thanks!!

Maybe I miss something but is this not the reason behind the "vibrate mode"? You want a quit phone which informs you only with vibrations and not with sound.

What do you exactly mean with "vibrate mode"?
The "vibration mode" for me is, when the call is coming, my phone will vibrate with no ringtone and I can hear and talk with my friend.
Attached image is not exact but similar volume control interface of 235XX rom. Everytime I want to set my phone to "vibrate"(no ringtone, but can hear and talk with my friend after I receive the call), I click the clickbox "vibrate" on the right side. After that both the ring and phone will drop to bottom. Even I know the call is coming and I receive it, I can't hear anything.

This looks to me like a bug of some kind...
You can set your phone to ring and vibrate at the same time (which will be done when you select the 'on' box).
It can also only vibrate (the 'vibrate' box) and it can also do neither (which is the 'off' or 'silent' function).
In al three option calling itself is still possible without any problem. So you can hear the person on the other side of the line...
Does this cover your question or did i misunderstand?

Like by every other ROM. When you will set only the phone to vibrate you have to use a tool for this or change the phone ring to vibrate.

Hello, I don't know if I post in the right place but it's the first time I see the same volume control that I got problem with.
Hi, I have a problem with my volume control screen. I tried to install a manilla custom thing (i don't remember which). The install failed. And from this time on, I've lost the original volume control screen, and I have one like seen in this post. How can I restore the original volume control screen please ?

Hard Reset or provide more info about the ROM you're using and what volume control you used before.
I want to avoid a hard reset.
I never changed the ROM.
These are the original characteristics :
Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro
version syst 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.483.0 (76641) FRE 01/12/10
Radio 2.06.51.07
Protocole 15.30.50.07U
How can I know which volume control is used now ?
How can I roll back to the original one ?
BTW : This problem appeared when I tried to install Max Manilla. I had not enough memory, so the install failed and since then I've got this volume control screen old fashioned.
Thanks
I see the only possibility: Hard Reset!
Hard reset done
Hello, I reinstalled the Bouygues ROM. When I restore my SPB Backup, the problem is here again. Sadly I don't have any intermediate backup between the first one (no applications installed) and the last one.
How can I save the volume files from the first backup and install my last backup ?
Hi,
I recently switched from a WM standard phone (snap - non touch screen) to the HD2 - big move
One thing that I am confused about is that if I put the HD2 in "VIBRATE" mode, the volume is set to 0, so when I try to play some music using my stereo headset, I need to bring the volume up to hear it.
But, as soome as I bring the volume up, the HD2 switches out of vibrate mode
With my non-touch screen phone, even when you were in "Vibrate" mode, you could listen to any multimedia app you wanted, and still any notification (SMS, New Email, voice mail, etc) would still just vibrate and not make a sound.
How can I EASILY get the HD2 to stay in VIBRATE mode and listen to music without having to modify each "notification" manully one-by-one to just "VIbrate"?
Any ideas?
i vaguely remember (currently stoned! ) that this is indeed possible and that i used to do it on my HD2...
i'm currently using android 24/7 for the past 2+ months so can't boot back to WM to confirm what i remember.
i believe i had "ringer" and "system" volumes set to show as separated from one another on the big grey volume control screen. the setting to toggle splitting the controls is somewhere on the Sense settings' tab.
so i would keep the volume down pressed all the way so that the phone would switch both volume controls to vibrate (the sequence was highest volume->lowest volume->silent *(i.e. no vibrate either)->vibrate). then i would switch to the "system" tab of the volume control and drag it back UP. so the "ringer" tab remained on vibrate and the "system" tab got the volume it needs to play music, or what have you.
i suppose this would silence the notification sounds as well because i vaguely remember another setting that makes the notification sounds follow the "ringer" volume as opposed to the "system" volume. but if the notification sounds follow the "system" volume, then you would still hear them during the music playback...but i find that prospect useful as well, so maybe it was designed that way and i don't remember properly?!?
so yeah, whatever

If you could remember that setting that would be awesome, I like how Android handles notification and system sounds. I would prefer to have the ringer and notifications together and then multimedia sounds separate, any hint where to look?
you need settings....., sound + display....
then set "single volume" to off.
your volume control should now have two tabs for ring and system volume levels.....
even after they are seperate and he has the ringer turned down, his texts and other notifications will still sound because they are systems sounds right?

Yes notification sounds are linked to System volume, the OP, and myself for that matter, are looking to have the notifications linked to ringer volume like it is in Android so that system volume is delegated to multimedia and such. I was always under the impression that this was a limitation of Winmo but now I wonder if it's in the registry to change that
regarding my post above, i have a feeling that i am incorrectly stating that the "notification volume follows ringer volume" feature is present in WM as well.
like i said in the post, i can't remember properly and so take the post with a grain of salt. apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Haha it's all good. Yeah I was just hopeful is all, it would be nice if it was a part of the registry but I am thinking that is a core functionality of WinMo
