Hello,
So i recently hard reseted my phone because my texting wasnt working. Now my ringtones don't work....
When i access them through the Sense interface (setting>sound&display>notification sounds) all of them seem to be working fine. This meaning that when i click on each ringtone and preview them, they play a sound etc.
However, when i access the ringtones through the windows mobile interface (setting>menu>all setting>sounds¬ifications>notifications) and attempt to play a ringtone, either it doesnt play at all, or it gives me the error "This ringtone fie is corrupted or unavailable. Please choose a different ringtone." It only does this for specific ringtones and not all of them..
I don't know whats going on.. Any ideas anyone? I havent really done any tweaking to my phone at all..
I really really really dont want to have to do another hard reset
Thanks
I have similar issue on two devices.
Did you use Phonealarm?

Hi all. This is strange. Yesterday, everything was working fine. Today, none of my alarms are sounding (that's neither 'tasks' nor 'appointments')
I've checked the obvious stuff like whether the sound file is corrupted or not (it works fine and I even changed the default sound to play for alarms)
Even the normal pop up window isn't showing either when an appontment or task is due.
Has anyone got any advice - this is going to be a BIG problem for me if I can't solve it as I've got a very very (very) poor short term memory and need the alarms to remind me to do even the mundane things in my life
I tried creating a few test/new entries and they don't display or sound either
Thanks

Try this (check notifications) and use it to delete any duplicate notifications you have in the queue. When the notification queue gets too long it stops working, and alarms depend on the notification queue. You can then use the clear notifications program to help stopping it happening again if you like.
Thanks..
Hi shuflie - thanks for the tip. It made no difference, so I'm guessing it must be something more serious!
The good news...I tried same resolution
The bad news...it did not work
So...I did a hard reset and that solved the problem!
Hard reset - sorted it!
HI All - Yep, I had to hard reset mine too! The good news - it's all working fine now...
The bad news - one of the 'cabs' that auto loads as part of the O2 set up, wouldn't install ('something.cab does not exist') resulting in me having to call O2 to manually set up email/mms/internet conections.
I also don't seem to have 'o2 active' anymore (but maybe that's a good thing
Seem to have oodles more storage space too...but everthing is working fine
Wonder what's missing???
I was just wondering if anyone else have had any of these problems that I have been having.
1. Sometimes the phone will not play any sound at all no music,slide sounds, or ring but i can make a call and hear and talk perfect and the phone will vibrate when i get a call i made sure the sounds are on. Soft reset fixes this everytime but it seems to happen more now like every other day.
2. I have the 6 tab HTC home plugin on my today screen and it used to play music right off the today screen on its own media player not WM. Now when i try to use it it opens WM and i cant change songs from my today screen and it seems stuck on a song but it does not change or update the track info. The only thing it does is open WM when i tap the song name but nothing else. I think I might of messed this up when i reinstalled the WM play button today plugin and i now set the plugin to use the HTC audio manager but i would like it to control WM like i wanted to and the 6 tab plugin to control the HTC audio like its supposed to
3.Almost everytime i get 2 text messages at the same time or a phone call and text at or close to the same time this thing goes nuts vibrating till i turn it off.
4. Sometimes when i use Windows media player and use one of my playlist some of the songs say file cannot be found and i have to delete the song and go back and add it again when its in the same folder as it always is.
Anyone else having any of these problems or am i the only one? I have the new ROM installed and alot of other junk
the no sound problem i have encounterd. as a matter of fact it happened twice today. don't know what that's about.
as for the rest of your issues i have never experienced them. i do have the 6 tab home plugin and i do play music but i've never experienced number 2.
Do you have anything setup in your calendar? On one of the HTC Home tabs, it has the sound settings. If it is set on automatic, it will put the phone on vibrate if you have any appointments on your calendar, and turn back the sound when the appointment is over.

I also have the same 6 tab HTC today installed.
And almost everytime I get a txt or an email notification + a phone call at the same time, the unit freaks out, I can't answer the phone and I almost have to always perform a hard reset.
I have these installed:
- HTC Home Customizer
- TCPMP
- flashlight
- Google maps
- Opera Browser
- PHM RegEdit
- PocketCMD
- RDP Port Switcher
- Telus Mobile Email (visto client I think)
- X-Button
Running WM6
Same Problem.. No Sound
I am having the same problem!!
I am on my second Mogul now due to the fact that intermittently
all the sounds from the speaker stop working. (Ringer, Music, everything)
The sounds come back after a soft reset but it's very annoying!
I have seen other posts with people having this problem but no solutions.
I believe this is a software issue not a hardware as this is my second Mogul this is happening to (the first one I RMA'd for this same issue) and I have tried several different software products on the phone.
This is the what I had on the first mogul:
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Backup
IM Plus
Resco Explorer
Sk Tools
2kTweaks
This is what I put on the second mogul:
HTC Home (6 Tab)
HandySwitcher
IM Plus
Resco Explorer
SPB Backup
SK Tools
Both are losing all sounds after a period on time!!
If anyone can help me figure out I am periodicly losing sound I would be forever in your debt!!!!
Here's a crazy thought.... any of you try to do a hard reset and NOT load any third party or non-native apps onto the Mogul to see what happens for a few days?
TC1.... The phone is useless without some of these apps.... I can't pull out the stylus everytime I want to do something on the phone....
There are usually alternative apps. I guess the question is would you rather find the cause to the sound problem or run those apps?

Exactly.
This is troubleshooting 101... need to setup a controlled experiment. Start with the basic product and go from there. Note your observations. Add one application at a time and note your observations. Using deductive logic you'll eventually find the cause.
And others please don't whine about the Mogul being "unusable" without these extra apps. The Mogul functions out of the box as a phone and WM6 PDA. Do some of these apps make you more productive? Absolutely. But in order to troubleshoot you can live without them for a few days.
This is my 2 pda in less than 3 months when i 1st had it i didnt know i could install all these apps so it was at least a week or two before i found this site and a few others and i remember i installed the new ROM hoping it would fix the problem...still hoping...
IM+....
Some people have claimed that it's IM+ thats causing the issue........ I will uninstall it and see what happens.... Let's keep this post alive and get the bugs out!....
Got #2 onmy list fixed now i can use the HTC audio manager on my 6th tab and my windows on the today screen on the bar right underneath if i knew how to get a pic of my screen it would be easier to explain what im talkin bout...still waitin on a ROM fix or something.... or REV A

I agree 100% with you TC1.. I have similar apps listed installed on mine and have no issues. Now when I first came across HTC Home installer I did have issues with certain alerts / ringers not working. This was mainly if I had removed my SD card temporarily and at the same time received a call / alert. Of course it wouldnt sound but when I would put back the SD it still wouldnt sound so I had no choice but to reboot the device.
What I determined is setting the HTC profile to SILENT prior to removing the SD card avoids having to reboot in the invent I would get a message / alert / fone call. Since then no issues.
Also installing the more current HTC home helped out.. As ringer profiles on occasion would set itself to SILENT / VIBRATE on it own.
Ive always thought it had something to do with the 6tab HTC home plugin but i removed it and it still did it
I believe it has nothing to do with any 3rd party software but the phone (windows,HTC,Sprint) itself.... I just wish there was a way to fix it!!
Have anyone with WM5 loaded on their titan had these problems? I really wanna know y i cant use any playlist on my windows media player more then 5 times before it says file can not be found in libary when i have not moved anything
same probem quick fix
i get the same problem.
but all i do is turn it of and then turn it back on and it works great.
haven't figured out what is causing it, all i know is that it does it after i get on line. don't have any third party software on it yet so that could not be the problem. i am how ever looking for spb phone suite or anything with smson it for mobile 6. mogul titan
Hi, today my HD2 started to behave oddly - when receiving a call the screen wakes up as normal but no sound nor vibration (as preset) comes with it. The same goes for any other alert - SMS, e-mail...When I try to change the tones of any alert the common preview while selecting doesn't cannot be heard. Even worse, when I tried to play any music from my library with Windows Media Player it started to skip quickly from song to song without playing a note, stopped at the end of the playlist. When I tried TCPMP it work without any problem - music and video.
Any suggestion before I will be forced to proceed to the next logical step - Hard Reset? BTW I am on stock ROM 1.66.479.2 (76641)WWE, I didn't install anything new recently nor have beeb experimenting with any SW.
Thank you in advance.
ive had issues with sounds when setting the system temp locations to a location that doest exist (experimenting with a ramdisk, but i suspect the pricipal would be teh same). maybe some kind of system temp location corruption?
hunt down all you can find on clearing temp locations. start uninstalling apps one by one,
(personally id backup and go for a straight hard reset for the hour it takes to be fully fundtional again vs the hours spent fault finding.)
I think I have your fix ...
I just came across this thread and thought I'd answer immmediately because I, too, have sufferred from this issue in the past. It took me a while to figure out why, but I did. Give me about 5 minutes to collect my information, and then I'll respond again...
Peter
Here it is ...
I have a document that I've prepared in Microsoft Word to store all the handy registry tweaks and solutions to previous problems. Here's the entry for what I believe is your problem:
Sounds or Ringing or Vibration Don’t Work
There MUST be a directory called Volatile here:
Mobile Device\Application Data\Volatile
YOU MUST SOFT RESET AFTER CREATING THIS DIRECTORY
The "Volatile" directory can be empty as long as it's there within the main device Application directory.
Peter
Thank you very much, will share the result
I face to same problem using HD2, thank you. your point is help me to fixed.
Whoa, you just saved me from a hard reset thanks alot Peter.
PETER HTC you are great! Thanx man!
Thanks I fixed it too
Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it
Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!
If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).
Hi guys, I have a problem with my 6p that been bothering me for a while now. Whenever I change the ringtone on the phone to a Zedge tone or one of the defaults that came with the phone, it always resets to "KeypressReturn" within 2 days. When someone calls, the phone only vibrates which cause me to miss a lot of calls. I saw a similar post on AC by a person experiencing nearly the same issue but there was no viable solution mentioned.
Please help!
make sure that whatever app your using to set the ringtone has adequate permissions. IE it has access to storage.
I had already given Zedge has access to storage as per the advice in the AC forum. Also the Settings app has no permissions listed.
I just wanted to report back that this matter has been resolved. It was actually me that reset the ringtone to KeyPressReturn all the time. I have been using some customized shortcuts for volume from the AudioManager app for a few years now. Apparently, the developer made an enhancement to the application by allowing a user to change his/her ringtone and alert notification via the shortcuts. Since, I don't read the change notes for every single app I upgrade I was unaware that the ringtone option exists and the default was KeypressReturn. I modified my shortcuts and tested each one of them while going back and checking what it was set to in Settings. It been almost a full day now and my ringtone has not been reset. Thanks everyone for your time and suggestions!
