ya i went in and made the media files through adb and moved all my ringtones with the cat command and no luck...like i said i have ran countless ruu's and tried 1.5 roms with same issue now...i have even tried swapping sd cards as well...this issue just has me stumped.
I get this problem on DamageControl as well. Actually it occurs on ALL sprint leak based roms. The Eris roms work fine and my ringtone initiates almost immediately.
well got some good news i just ruued and then flashed purehero rom and it seems to be work for a while now ill test it further and see what the change is when i get back from work.

at&t 8525 owner, here.
So, I've had this issue for a little while now after I flashed Shadow TE ROM. But it's continued since then... so here's the issue:
I go into work and turn the phone onto vibrate. After I leave work, I switch back to sound on (ring & vibrate). Even though the icon shows the sound is back on, it's not. It only vibrates. It acts as if the speaker is still asleep.
So for awhile I'd have to reset my phone every day to get it working again until I realized I can go into sound settings / notifications and I find that the phone's jumped back to the default ringtone and more than that, I have to literally push PLAY to test the sound in order for the speaker to "wake up" if you will. Then the phone's fine until the next day.
Ok so back to present:
I got fed up and thought it was Shadow TE. So I flashed CRC's v9.2 ROM. Still had the same speaker issue! I was advised to flash a shipped rom.... which I did.... and flashed CRC's v11. Issue still remains.
I've searched the board and could only find one other person make mention of this a couple years ago and no one ever addressed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Same problem here with a custom Titan ROM. Installed the same software as every other ROM that I've used so the problem must be in the ROM somewhere.

Could be... but why does no one else seem to have this issue? Wouldn't there be tons of people replying here?
I did find that instead of switching it to vibe when I arrive at work, I switch it to silent... and SOMETIMES when I go back to Sound it works ok for a few hours but then it goes back to silent without warning so I miss calls and texts a lot. Might as well force the sound back on through Notifications Menu anyway. I'm SO getting away from Windows Mobile ASAP.
As soon as the Blackberry Bold is released here in the US, I'm buying it.... unless something about it disappoints me, in which case I'll settle for the iPhone 3G. The Bold can't come soon enough.
Who would like to claim this Hermes when I'm through with it? What are you willing to pay?
Try making sure that your ringers are in the windows\rings folder. Saw it somewhere else and it seems to be working.

Hmm... I tried putting them in, like, 4 places... but none of them seemed to be that location. I'm doing it now and I'll test tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.... i hope it works.

Don't know what to tell you then. Make sure you're not running any 3rd party software.
Hi guys using a custom rom - kumars leo 2.2 wwe 1/29/10. Seemed to be going fine, but ive noticed (im sure it was working before) that the sound doesn't work. No ringtones, message alerts or alarm sounds, sat nav. Nothing plays in the media player or warning sounds. If i plug the headphones in it works perfectly - everything. The speaker phone works too, but i think that comes out of a different speaker to the main one.
I just flashed to 2.06.50.23_3 Radio to see if that would help but no go. Anyway to test why its not working?
Thanks.

I had a virtually identical problem at one point in the past. In my case the solution involved one very important thing. Perhaps it will work for you.
Sometimes, if you use "clean-up" software, the program may delete a particular folder that's vital to sounds being enabled. You wouldn't think so, but this folder MUST exist. It's called the Volatile folder. It can be empty, but it must exist (don't ask me why).
It should be located in the Device/Application Data folder. If it's not there, create it. As I said earlier, it can be empty. It doesn't matter. Just make sure you have a folder called Volatile inside that Application Data folder.
Yes, there's another Application Data folder on the Storage Card. Not there! You must put the Volatile folder in Device memory.
Good luck!
Peter
P.S. I'm using a stock HTC ROM, so I don't know if this solution will work for you.
P.P.S. Don't forget to soft reset after creating the Volatile folder.
Hi PeterHTC, thanks for your reply. I do have that folder in aplication data. I removed hspl and put the original o2 rom back on, still same problem - all fine with headphones.
So i gave up and took it back to the shop. They are sending it off, should take about 10 working days, so ill report back.
Cheers.
I know my speaker went out about 13 days after purchase. I thought the same thing, that it was something that got wiped playing with a rom. But with one exception I gave the phone a good tap while it was playing a sound clip and I could get the speaker to function for short times. Then it just finally gave up the ghost. I figured bad wiring. I never dropped it or did anything to come close to harming it.
I'm got a replacement sent out(works great so far) and I still have to send back the other one. Starting to wonder if the first few batches were hastily made and now the costumer is paying for it with phones that keep failing in odd ways. It's to be expected till they have all the bugs out. You can do all the testing you want but till something hits the public you'll never find them all.

Ten days without my phone? I don't know what I'd do.
Good luck!
Dont panic lol they gave me a super nokia 2330!
The sound in my magic is not working on any ROM 2.1 that I install if I go back to 1.6 or 1.5 it does work. The notifications, alarms, etc.. work perfect but when it comes to receiving or making a call the sound doesn't work unless I turn on the speakerphone, the same thing happens with multmedia music if i play I song cant hear it unless I plug earphones.
Does this happens to anyone else? and/or know how to fix it?
Thankss!
you'll see my post as well.. i have the same problem..
Rooted fender mytouch, i haven't tried to go down to 1.6 or 1.5 ... im not sure what happened or why it happened? sorry i don't have a solution, i thought i would let you know that you're not alone.

Thanks for the reply, when I go down to 1.6 or 1.5 sound comes back so that's a kind of a solution but I really want it to work on 2.1 and not be stuck on 1.6 forever.
Let me know if you find a work arround.
I am having the same problem when running any version of CM 5.0.7. I have not tried any other ROMs.
Just another person letting you know that you are not alone.

It happens to me when running any CM from the first one that used 2.1 I also tried another non CM 2.1 ROM and had the same problem so it has to be 2.1 issue for us somehow. Hope we can find a fix for this soon.
sounds like I am in the same boat, but not even sure what to load or what to do to get sound back.
Speaker is the only thing that works, nothing else for me.
what SPL ya'll on?
Just to throw in my two cents to the mix, I was running CM 5.0.7 when my mytouch went down a couple of days ago, I went down into CM 4.2.15 thinking I was the new recovery I just flashed RA-1.7-cyan, but the sound worked, so I went back into CM 5.0.7 and havent had a problem with it after doing a clean install.
My SPL is 1.33.0004
I've always used Standard 3 as my ringtone on all of my previous Android phones. I'd love to keep using it on my MyTouch 4G, but this phone seems to treat ringtones with great disrespect. There are no pauses between rings! It just rings incredibly fast, to the point of being extremely irritating. What the hell is up with this and how can I fix it? Thanks.
A couple of questions...
1. Do you still have the old phone?
2. Is the old phone rooted?
3. If yes to both, have you tried copying the old phone's ringtone to your SD card then to your MT4G?
I would try that. It might seem like a lot to do, but it might work out for you. If you have, then I'm sorry to have wasted your time.. LOL
Good luck.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm perma-rooted on Glacier and using the old SD card that I had in my Nexus. No dice. Just rings and rings with no break between them. Incredibly annoying. So, for now, I just switched to a different ringtone until I have the time to edit the one I like on my PC and add a second or two of silence to it.
Hey guys, so I've been having s slight issue latley. When someone calls or texts me, there isn't any ring tone playing and the volume is set to 100% and mostly the only way to get the sound back is reboot the device.
Any fixes?
Also, today I had a call from my dad and I accepted the call and I couldn't hear anything. When I called back I didn't hear any beeping either. I rebooted my phone and then it worked. What's up with that?
Should I switch Roms? Or is there something else I could do? Thanks!

I had the same problem. Kept happening intermittently. Tried different roms...didn't seem to fix it. Tried several fixes I found in the forum but no success.
Finished up reflashing the standard htc wm6.5 rom back on and tried boyppc's gingerbread rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970542 and haven't had the problem since.
I did try another android rom before this one....the first call I got coming in didn't ring, so I don't think the 6.5 rom was the issue. Why boyppc rom works when some of the others didn't I don't understand...but it did....so I'm happy.

hmm..that's weird. i'm gonna try CM7 and then i'll see if i have any problems, thanks for a reply though!
I'd be interested to know how you get on. I'm very reluctant to try any others now that mine is working so well.....
I have found that I don't use windows much any more so I might try a nand sd build later on......
