Help Please...lost phone ringer.

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.

JASJAR Crashes on some incoming calls

I thought this was only a ROM issue as I was using a ROM that seemed to have many problems with it other than this, but when I changed to another ROM, the problem still persists.
The problem is that sometimes when I get incoming calls, the phone will just vibrate and crash with no backlight on the screen and only showing the Incoming Call bubble with the caller ID in it. I'm not exactly sure what the people calling receive, I think they just get silence, no ringing tone at all.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if it's just me.

I also have this once in a while. Mostly, when I didn't reboot my Qtek for several days. The device freezes displaying the Incoming call bubble and it keeps vibrating until I reset it. I guess the caller gets the busy signal or gets re-routed to voicemail.
Cheers,

the same here...sometimes freezes and show "incoming call" if i dont reset for few days.. i got used to that

same here. any idea for a solution?

Dodgy ringing

Hi all, tried searching for the topic but couldn't find anything so please bear with me
I have discovered that when receiving an incoming call, having set up a ringtone from the device, the first ring is sort of dodgy, like fading in and out. its hard to explain, but its like the volume gets high then low and so on.
however, after the first ring, the second and third appear to be with a stable volume.
can anyone help? and i have already set the ringing style to Ring not increasing.
your help is highly appreciated, thanks.

another problem i am having... i didnt really want to make a new thread.
its with the GPRS. I have set my email to check every 2 hours, and have used HDtweaks to make the gprs to disconnect after 1 minute. the problem is the GPRS almost always stays connected, and i have to disconnect it manually. I am only worried cause it drains alot of battery power i believe.
HELP!

Does this Ring problem happen with every ring tone you select?
As with GPRS HD Tweak should stop connection after it has detected the connection is no longer in use, check your settings in HD Tweak to make sure it is set and maybe try a few different selections of disconnect time.
Also try changing the email check too
Have you installed any other tweak programs?

cheers for the reply mate. the problem happens with every ringtone i select. Today i found something interesting, when i use SPB shell the problem with the ringing tone disappears! its there only on the touch flo, how wierd is that?!
about the gprs, i have tried many times, sometimes it disconnects and sometim it goes on and on until i disconnect it manually.
thanks for your help anyways

No Ringtone when I am called.

I don't think there is a post about my issue. I apologize if I am wrong. (not good at searching in forums).
Anyway I've had my HD2 for about 6,7 months now and I have had no problems. But just recently I have noticed I am getting A LOT of missed calls. And sometimes they're very important to me.
So I decided to test it out and call myself. Now the call goes through but there is no ringtone. I looked in the settings and everything seems as it should be, I tried changing the ringtone too and a couple settings. The System volume and Ring volume are both at Max. I can recieve messages fine and there is a tone. It's just calls that are my main problem.
So I am not sure how to overcome this, please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

Had this problem yesterday. even soft reset didnt help.
And then suddenly it started work again.

[Q] My HD mini act like a vibrator! :D

Hi all,
I have a very weird and annoying problem with my HD mini.
Mostly im using my phone in vibration mode, so with no sound.
Sometimes when i receive a text message, the phone keeps on vibrating continuously!
I installed the newest ROM from htc and the SMS hotfix.
Does anyone have the some issue?
thx!

Yes, mine does the same every now and then. No pattern to it, but I'm sure locking and then unlocking the screen stops it.

i suggest all of you guys will fill complaints about your HTC HD Mini problems,as i did...HTC @$$holes needs to put their @$$ to work and to fix ALL Mini problems!!!FINALLY!

I have the same problem!!

Maybe the phone vibrates more if a pretty lady text you.
Kidding.
Better fill up the complaints. Force HTC to take notice.

Thx guys!
Nice to know that I'm not the only one with this problem!
I also tried a soft & hard reset, but still the same problem...

+1 Me too!

And Me Too (sometime)

Here too. Same thing

hm..... Signature is a bit outdated I guess. Question. When recieving a txt, oftenly i do not receive a sound notice. Somehow the setting are reverting all by themselves to vibration only. Anyone else? (or how to deal with it)

You might have set the sound file to one that is not compatible with SMS message notification.
I had this recently and it turned out that I had set the sound file to one classified as an Alarm notification. Strangely, this would play when a message was recieved if the screen was on, but not if the screen was locked. It too kept setting the notification to vibrate only.
Changing the alert sound file to a different one cured the problem.
