stuttering ringtone during incoming calls

Hi,
I remember reading about this a while back but cant seem to be able to find it anymore.
When I get incoming calls my ringtone sounds like it is stuttering sometimes. It is not happening all the time just most of the time?
Has anyone heard of a the cause/solution to this problem?
Thanks.
Edit:
Just like to add that I am only using the standard "old phone" ringtone and it happens whether or not vibrate was turned on or off. (in case the vibration was making speaker terminals lose connection)

I get the same, so you are not alone.

It's due to the system WAKING UP out of the sleep mode

I have the same but it doesn't seem to cause any real problems.

Not really due to the waking up from sleep mode actually in my case.
I went to sounds and notifications and chose "old phone" ringtone and it plays a test sound when you choose it. It stuttered during this time too.
so its probably some sort of software conflict maybe???

I have to agree with this point. I never had stuttering of ringtones on my XDA Exec. I use the old phone ring tone sound.

ive found recently over the past couple of days that since i've resorted to the standard phone skin by getting rid of the "bubble" default skin, I get no skipping or stuttering on any incoming calls. Its been working fine for a couple of days now even after a few soft-resets. I suggest sum1 try it to confirm.

its a little hard to say whether the skin would have done it or not since my problem is intermittent. After a soft reset the problem goes away and then comes back once in a while.

I have GB-Soft's Tweak but I have always no idea what is this Audio Priority for? Mine is positioned at "110". What should it be?

me having stuttering ringtone too.
As i using mp3 for ringtone.
I tried lowering the bitrate & reducing the size of the mp3.
it somehow helps but i still have the stuttering once in a while.
could it be cpu speed problem?
can anyone overclock the cpu and try to see if the stuttering still exist?

sound stops working!!

in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise

ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??

backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.

Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either

Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck

looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)

My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

yes, sounds like a double negative to me, so switch that to "on" so it won't suspend power. Let us know if it worked.

Nope, didn't.
Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.

Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?

i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work

Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.

I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(

I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.

Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.

Device wont go to sleep during music playback

Hi,
I´ve been having this problem for about 2 days. While mp3 playback, device wont go to sleep when I press power button. I have to pause/stop playback to do so. I dont know why. I havent installed anything before this. I´m using standard player provided by HTC.
This may not sound like a serious problem, but it kills battery real fast while its on. Is anyone having the same problem? Thanks for any answer.

is this without the headphones?

try this its a great lil programe allows soft reset also has a secondary feature called display switch, witch basically turns the screen off but not the phone. i always have this installed on every device ive ever owned.

Ditto - same issue. Its a bug.

The problem occurs when the device is in headset mode - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482027
No solution available AFAIK. Report it to HTC and the more of us that do it might get a hot fix! Cheers

Why are ringtones quiet when the phone starts ringing?

Whenever I get a call, the ringtone is very quiet for a couple of seconds before suddenly playing at full volume. Increasing volume is disabled, so does anyone know why it does this?

Try checking and unchecking increasing volume a few times in the settings then. If that does not fix the problem you might be able to try wiping all data to do with the phone and sound settings in Settings > Applications..

It was doing it even when new out of the box though, and also when I first installed XXUAMDN, so it's definitely not an app issue or anything. Tried toggling the increasing volume toggle several times too.

you cant, but i dont know if you can when it is rooted

I'm rooted, so if anyone knows then feel free to share!

This S4 is my first Android phone and i was wandering this also as my phone has always done that for about the first 2 seconds which ive found very strange, never found a way to change it either.

I've had several android phones, but this is the first to do it.

My previous note 2 and the wife's s3 don't he same (as well as my s4).
Unsure if it's an android thing or Samsung thing.
I think it's so the phone ringing when your not expecting it doesn't frighten the living daylights out of you!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

It's definitely not an android thing, otherwise my previous 3 phones would have all done it too and I'd already have had a 5 year head start on learning how to stop it!

Right, just found it's a Samsung and LG thing. Seems you can edit the secphone.apk if you're rooted, or alternatively you can download an app called "disable increased ring" from the play store. With this app you get a persistent notification that it's running, but then if you go into application manager you can disable notifications for it. I tried the app and it works, no root access or custom rom needed.

Flash Omega or Wanamlite ROMs, they have this "feature" disabled

Thanks, just found an app that disables it anyway. What a stupid "feature".

I have this exact same problem on my s3 mini. So it's deffo a Samsung thing... Thanks for posting different solutions
"Disable Increasing Ring" app works fine so far.

Notification sound bug

Does anybody face this bug" notification sound automatically go into the vibration mode,restart to get everything back to normal"??i tried cear partition cache but didn't help this method..help plz

I also have the same issue. In my case, notification sound or ring comes from earpiece speaker instead of main speaker so it's too low to be heard. Not sure about the root cause. Reboot definitely helps but quick way to fix it is to call any number(like 111) and hang up after putting it on speaker. Is anyone else facing the same issue?

I can confirm that notification/call ringtone goes silent automatically in v323 also. DND is not activated and no power saving module/mod is enabled. This is an annoying bug and frequently causes me to miss important calls and notifications

Same here.

I solved my problem this way..i dont know if it will work for you friends..
Step 1 download the zedge app from playstore
Step 2 download the htc reactive notification tone
Step 3 set it via phone setting but select zedge app
I dont have the call ringtone problem i set "RING 1"
check it guys ..and tell me if it is working or not?
Thanks. sorry for bad english!

Didn't work for me. Do you guys have any smartwatch connected via Bluetooth? I do and may be it is the root cause of this issue?

I think this issue definitely has something to do with Samsung gear S3. Whenever I turn off and back on the Bluetooth, issue appears to be gone for few hours.

Guys i think the new 326 update fixed this issue..whats say?

I still have this issue but it's not so frequent now. It comes back in 2-3 days after reboot.

Issue is there. Randomly no notification. 326

I experience it too. But in my case, I don't have to restart the phone, only turn it back to ring mode works to fix it although only temporarily.
It happens randomly, if I'm not using my phone for about 15 minutes, not always happen but randomly, occasionally happen.
I don't have any smartwatch apps or alike installed, but I'll check for other apps that might causing it.
I wish whether it's a bug from Asus or mistake from my side, it can be fixed somehow, because it's annoying.
Still looking for the solution.
=========
UPDATE: SOLVED (A long ago actually, sorry I just write this now)
An app caused it. It has to do with timer and notification sound triggering at some preset times a day.
After I uninstall the app, all is OK.

Hey guys, I am too facing the issue. But root cause seems to be this.. When I open any app that gives some audio output, n I immediately try to reduce the volume. Somehow the ringer volume also goes down along with media. N after this whenever I press the volume rocker, it doesn't work on ringer volume but on media volume. Once I restart it works fine but same thing repeats if I do what I mentioned.

Hi guys anyone experience after the update or Android become Android 8.0 my phone do not have signal anymore
