I'm having a problem with MP3 ringtones and I hope you guys can shed some light on this.
When I go to work, I set my phone on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' - however, the second a phone call arrives, the phone starts ringing as though I'd never set it to 'Silent' or 'Vibrate'. It's completely reproducible - set to silent, call self, hear ringtone.
The issue goes away if I use an included ringtone like the T-Jingle - phone stays on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' exactly as expected.
Is anyone else having this issue? No custom firmwares here, just the stock T-Mobile image.

Hi,
today I noticed while PocketAlarm tried to wake me, i.e. made it's alarm sound, a call didn't ring, but instead the caller was immediately routed to my mailbox. Could that be? Would be a bit annoying, I'd still prefer to get a call through instead of having an alarm ring Could that have to do with Sound already playing, so the phone couldn't play it's sound? Back to "single-task" days then?

Sometimes my phone turns on, displays call ID, and even rings via bluetooth, but it won't make an audible ring. I know that all volume settings are correct because afterwards my missed call sound plays.
Any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?
Hi, I get this too occasionally - all of a sudden I will get a voicemail message and the phone did not ring. then a few mins later I may get another call and it rings as normal...
I am running ringo, so if you are as well that might be the problem.
ok I have a HTC Trinity and I signed up for Cingular prepaid service. Now each time I make a call and I am done I get an alert saying how many minutes I have used up. It shows up as a notification at the top of my screen and it makes an Alert sound. Now I contacted Cingular and they say the alert is built into their system and they cannot disable it. What is strange is that even when I set my sounds the off and i mute my phone the alert still makes the alert sound! I do not mind the alert showing but not being able to disable the sound at all is annoying. I have tried my sim card in my HTC Trinity and a HTC Hermes running Windows Mobile 6 so it is not like an OS or Phone issue. How come this particular alert cannot be muted? I know I cannot disable the alert itself but surely there is a way to set it so that it doesnt make the alert notification sound every time even when my phone is on vibrate or completely muted?
I spent quite some time trying to do this and I just now figured out a way...
I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.
Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted.
Hope that helps save someone time...
ok I tried this and I edited notify.wav and made it silent and copied it back, but now it makes this weird short beeping sound, even though when I play notify.wav it is silent. I think maybe the new notify.wav I created is not in the right format?
Could you post the silent wav you created that worked? Please? The sound drives me crazy especially when I am sleeping at night while charging my phone
Hi.
Here's the situation: I'm using 3VO rom build 2.00.
My phone works as it should when in Vibrate mode. When I change it to Normal mode, the vibrate icon in the top bar is still present. When I get a call or a message, the phone is still vibrating and it doesn't ring. I've tried to reset profiles to default, I've tried changing the ring type of a certain profile (its set to Ring, I've changed it to Ring and vibrate and then back, same situation).
I've tried switching on the vibrate mode with a key (on my model this means tab/#/vibrate key), and the vibrating icon is still there.
When my profile is set to Normal, I get a sound when i send a SMS.
What else can I tell you? Oh, I've also tried a reboot, same situation.
It worked fine for a month with this new rom, now it's not working... And it bothers me sometimes because I cannot hear when someone calls me, it's just vibrating (same with the Outdoor or Automatic mode).
So can someone please advise? I've used search on the forum and google and couldn't find a similar description of the problem.
Thank you so much in advance!
change ringtone sound to something other than vibrate
the default ringtone i believe was vibrate. change the ringtone to something else in the sound settings. if not reflash the rom works well for most everyone else.
soclean, you are my saviour!
Indeed, I had to change the "Ring tone" setting under Start/Settings/Sounds (it was set to Vibrate).
Thank you man.
no problem. happy to hear i was a help and it wasnt something else wrong with the phone.
I set my ring tone to a custom sound. From time to time, the ring tone changes to a truly horrible noise. When I check it, it says it is an unrecognized ring tone. Most of the time it works fine. Anyone have an idea how to keep that from happening?
Thanks!
I even changed it to a "standard" ringtone. It changes every time I reboot the phone. Oddly, I checked the ringtone, it still has the standard one selected, but the sound was the truely awful Unrecognized tone. A really terrible noise, not what I want for a ring tone.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
