call volume always starts out quiet - HD2 General

Every time I answer the first call of the day, I have to turn up the volume, which is very low. Does it default to low volume from start up?
Also, I frequently put my phone on vibrate with no ringer, then back to full volume ringer throughout the day. This wouldn't have anything to do with call volume, would it? Sometimes mid-day the call volume is back to low.
I use a bluetooth when driving to work, but adjust the call volume on that device, not the phone.
Am I just doing something dumb, here?
Thanks

theres a setting in sounds and notifications, that changes the way the volume reacts to a phone call, its called increasing ring....change to just ring and your should be fine...also what rom are you on?

Stock T-Mobile ROM
That setting you mention only has the choices ring tone, and ring type, which I had on Vibrate AND ring.

ok thanks. This is my first Windows phone. Installing a different ROM seems over my head, unless I can do it on my MAC?

SMS Received how do you stop the sound?

If I receive an SMS on just about every other phone I can hit the end call button and the SMS sound will stop; but it seems that on the XDA2 I have to put the volume all the way down... is there any other way to cut the sound when you are receiving an SMS?
If you go into settings/sounds and notifications/notifications you will see a drop down bar. You will find the sms notify function there.
Chris
No I know how to do that; but I want the sound to play so I will hear it, but once I get to it I want it to shut off instead of still continuing to play, it is like a 5 second clip, and if I hear it right away I don't want to listen to the rest of it.. make any sense?
Couldnt you use a sound file that has a short blip at the beginning then a long silence?
well of course I could use something really short, but I don't want to be checking my phone every 5 minutes to see if I didn't hear something especially in crowded places; I'm guessing that once the SMS sound starts it stops for nothing barring turning down the volume or putting it to vibrate?

I know what u mean. Just click down the volume "button" when it begins ringing. It is on the left side, above camera "button".
Satria
Do you mean to simply reduce the volume to nothing or does some of the ROM versions actually stop the SMS sound from playing when you click the volume down once?
For me I have no choice but to hold the volume down until the system sound is reduced to nothing, wait until I think the sound has stopped playing and then return the volume to the original level.
A real pain in the butt!!!
Yah I'm hoping a ROM version allows me to hit the volume down once or better yet hit the end call button like most every other phone to kill the sound once I know I've gotten a message.

Just one click and it will "mute" or "silence" the sound like in nokia HP when the sound was ringing. No need to reduce the volume to nil.
My ROM Vesion is:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date: 09/24/03
Radio Version: 1.05.14
Protocol version: 1337.14
I think I know what you mean... the easiest way to do it is to press the power button
Cool that works

Wizard doesn't ring, please help

I have a problem: when I put my mda on "loud" the phone doens't make sound when someone calls me. Only the light goes on. In the settings "Ring type" is vibrate and ring, but still no sound. Tried also just ring but nothing happened, only light goes on. Even tried different ringtones, but that's not helping either. I have the WM5SE rom, but don't think that the rom gives me this problem, because I had this on other roms also, like the NBD series. When I first install the rom, everything is working fine, but after a few weeks it starts giving me this problems. I switch a lot between ring and vibrate, could this be the problem? Does anybody please no how to fix this?? Ferreira maybe you have some experience with this? Anyway I hope someone can help me, because I missed a lot of calls because of this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Check your radio version. I think the best is 2.19
And when you said it doesnt ring, does it vibrate (i.e. does the phone knows it has call comming in, and do something to respond to it).. or just a speaker problem?
Try hard reset. If it doesnt work then it may be an issue of headphones slot jam.

I have radio 2.69.11, ring type is "vibrate and ring". It does vibrate, but it doesn't ring. You know what the problem is?

It is probably (as vlodeck mentioned) headphone jack jammed. If thats the case, you should not be having any sound from the phone at all (i.e. no music, no notification sound, no SMS sound). I had this problem before, and I do not want to make this sound dirty, but you can fix the problem by poking it Poke your headphone in and out in and out

headphone works, music works also, even without headphone, so that's not it. I tried flashed radio 2.19.11 T-Mobile NL. No I just have to find someone who can call me to test it. will post the result.
hmm.. that is iiiinnnnnttttteeerreeessstting. from what it seems, chances are probably the ring tone you are using is somewhat, not compatible. Tryign changing it to a default ring tone, WAV, shorter one, that is not in the storage card.

I tried this also, it didn't work. I think I'm going crazy. If I change the ringtone and test it by pressing "play", then it works! But if someone calls me, I can only see that someone is calling, but I hear nothing! And if it's on "vibrate and ring", then it vibrates but doesn't ring! Isn't this crazy??
this may sound crazy, but just to check, is your volumn up? push your volumn slider up? make sure both the volumn controls are up.

I found the problem! thanks to you of course. I did this before but now I no the volume slider is broken. only the right volume was up and the left was all the way down. So that caused the phone not ringing. Anyway, I just have to do this with my finger/stylus in the future, so thank you for your help!
CASE CLOSED.
Its interesting but in WM5 i had all sorts of problems once where my music would not play at all. I had all the volumes turned up and all that and it still wouldnt play, then I turned the volume on Windows Media Player down to 95% and it started playing again, and i turned it back up to 100% and it was fine. Little minor glitch me thinks

FM Radio in 'vibrate' mode not possible?

I couldn't find an answer to this 'problem' so maybe it's something specific for my phone, but I can't listen to my radio in 'vibrate' mode of the telephone. When I turn op the volume my phone automaticaly leaves silent mode, and that's very annoying. I can't find away to change this in the 'normal' audiosettings of the phone, so is it possible to change this, or is it only possible to listen to your radio when not in silence mode?

Errr.. yeah, of course! Can't you just set your ringtone to vibrate as well, and then you can turn the ringer right down, and leave the system volume high? (there's the setting to have single volume for ringer and system, or 1 volume for each).

Why not just put the phone into Airplane mode so any incoming calls go to voicemail.
You can either use tweak to have system and ringer volumes independent, or to disable HTC volume control altogether. I use it like this because standard WM volume controls use volume keys for controlling system volume rather then ringer volume, or combined volume.
The first tweak is in sticky tweaks thread, the other is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431588
I don't understand why this is so obvious.
But if it's not possible than the tip for putting my ringtone to vibrate should work, although it's a pity I would have to change this everytime I don't want to listen to my radio anymore.
And the Airplane mode is not an option, because I want to be able to send/receive sms for example, and when somebody calls me it's OK too.
For example, when I am in the train and I don't want to disturb other people, but I still want to listen to my radio, I would like to do this in Vibrate mode so no noices (sms, incomming calls, system alarms etc.) would make any noices

Thank you, this would be of good use! Because indeed, I want to use those two independent, and I find it very weird it's not something 'standard' on the phone. I will try to tweak, merci

It is standard. Go to the settings tab and select "Sound & Display". There's an option under "volume" where you set whether to use single volume, or ring/system volume (controlled seperately). Then, under "Ring and Notifications", set Ring Type to Vibrate and ring.
Then, when you want to drop the ringer volume, just go to change the volume with the buttons and you can toggle between system and ringer. Just set the ringer to nothing (not silent), and set the system to whatever you want for the radio. That way, the phone will only vibrate when you get a call, but you can still listen to the radio.
Hope this helps
This seem to work John, although I can't test at the moment if other sounds like sms and so will be there, but I am getting somewhere!
Thanks again

[Q] Volume rocker functions on Froyo

I loved on 2.1 how I could just use the rocker to go from sound, to vibrate, to silent. Is there any way of enabling this on EB13? "vibrate only when not in silent" doesn't give the same effect, as the rocker goes straight from silent to low volume.

Seems the took out silent and only have vibrate, however if you get like a widget that has silent it still work, not sure why they took that away, but ive been without ever since i got on dk28, but just grab a widget and you still can get into silent i believe..

This is really annoying. Sometimes I need it to be silent, sometimes I want my phone to just vibrate. But it doesn't seem like that's possible with froyo..

I think one reason for removing it is because it is on the pull down menu now. Personally I like it better there.

Yeah but if you choose only vibrate on silent and then choose silent, it's not really silent is it? It still vibrates...
The reason why it matters to me is because I set my phone on a cradle while at work and I don't need the phone to vibrate because it's loud. I'd rather have it on silent.

If you go to sound settings then vibrate you can set it to "vibrate only when not in silent mode." There will be no vibrate only option, but you will have silent instead, without vibrate. Works through the rocker and notification bar

Right, but then the phone won't vibrate if I have it in my pocket. Stupid I know but it's useful for me...
That is a Android 2.2 feature, not a Samsung or Sprint thing. You can change it in the settings to either be silent and no vibrate or vibrate only. The only way around this is a widget like the previous post said.

Man I see your point now. I apologize I didn't actually test it. You can either have volume and vibrate our volume and silent. That does suck. Glad I don't use silent very often but that is a pain.

If you press volume up on the rocker to enable the ringer, it will vibrate. Unless you simply want vibrate only, and silent (no vib) only, then yes widget is the only option. What you want is not stupid, deleting that feature was stupid

No problem. I just find silent and vibrate separately as being useful. Whenever I'm in a meeting, I'd like my phone to vibrate when it's in my pocket so I know I got a message. But when I'm at my desk, it's annoying to have my phone vibrate whenever I get an email/text. For one, I have gmail open at my desk and 2, I just have the screen come on whenever I get a text so vibrate isn't really necessary.
Oh well, guess I'll explore using a widget. Thanks.

[Q] No notification/ringer sounds

Hi All!
I have heard about similar issues around, but now I have one, and the problem is that I run stock android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.
The issue is not always there. It happens occasionaly and then dissapears.
What exactly happens: sometimes I stop hearing sounds of notifications and ringing. Media and alarm are working at the same time.
When I try to change the volume in Sound-->Volumes I get the situation on the image in the attachment.
So whatever I do, I get "silent" ringtone. After clicking OK, and opening the Volumes once again, the ringer volume is set back to "silent"
I have also looked a bit into the adb console in my android studio and when having the issue I have a couple of lines, that don't appear when The issue is not present:
Code:
audio_hw_primary: out_set_parameters: exit: code(1)
Not sure if it helps but still.
Does anyone know what could be the cause? Where should I dig? Thanks!
The icon means your ringer has been muted. Have someone call you and then use the volume rocker to turn the volume up

Thanks for the answer, but I believe it's not what you say. I am able to talk using the phone with no problems, without even touching the volume rocker. So this is not muted. However, the situation on the picture results in muting the notification and ringing sound.
So I see it as a different problem.
I meant the icon means it's on silent
EddyOS said:

I understand. But the behavior should be as follows: I drag the volume level and the icon changes, right? This is not happening. However I drag the widget, the "muted" icon does not change.
But I will still try what you suggest, though I am sure it is not the source of the problem, as in your case it would not turn on and off by itself.
