No sound on device

Hello,
Suddenly, I have lost all sound on my qtek 2020.
The system volume slider is on the lowest position and when I put it back on top, it goes back down.
Also when I try to play a ringtone a message appears saying: "The ringtone is not working properly".
I cannot hear the ring for incoming calls, or any other system sounds.
Can anyone help on this issue?
Thanks a lot

is the radiobutton in the slider dialog set to off ?
is it set to vibrate ?
how are the settings in sounds and notifications
did you try a softreset ?

If you have the Widcom stack go to the WIDCOM BT-manager Audio gateway tab and Disable this before uninstalling. Sound should then remain actve. Had the same problem

Very easy and simple fix!!, i had the same problem about a month ago and it took 3 weeks for me to find the solution,
click on start, then ultra profiler and untick the silent box and tick the normal one, select bluetooth as you want it, but make sure all the others are blank, tap the select button and its fixed !!
It seems that ultra profiler gets confused and forces the volume down from time to time for some unknown reason without you ever using it

I have not installed Ultra Profiler...
I yesterday made a hard reset of my device and installed it from scratch... Now it's working... :wink:

It seems BluetoothGPS is the faulty one, since after uninstalling all sounds are gone...
I followed instructions in this post to remove it but BluetoothGPS still shows in Remove programs section.

i havent installed ultraprofiler either, and i didnt want it because of this problem, but i comes preinstalled with the XDA2,
Maybe it isnt preinstalled on the Qtec version ??, not sure as i havent got one

just install bluetoothgps.cab again and all will be ok, i dont know the reson and appreciate if some one give a real solution.

Why are ringtones quiet when the phone starts ringing?

Whenever I get a call, the ringtone is very quiet for a couple of seconds before suddenly playing at full volume. Increasing volume is disabled, so does anyone know why it does this?

Try checking and unchecking increasing volume a few times in the settings then. If that does not fix the problem you might be able to try wiping all data to do with the phone and sound settings in Settings > Applications..

It was doing it even when new out of the box though, and also when I first installed XXUAMDN, so it's definitely not an app issue or anything. Tried toggling the increasing volume toggle several times too.

you cant, but i dont know if you can when it is rooted

I'm rooted, so if anyone knows then feel free to share!

This S4 is my first Android phone and i was wandering this also as my phone has always done that for about the first 2 seconds which ive found very strange, never found a way to change it either.

I've had several android phones, but this is the first to do it.

My previous note 2 and the wife's s3 don't he same (as well as my s4).
Unsure if it's an android thing or Samsung thing.
I think it's so the phone ringing when your not expecting it doesn't frighten the living daylights out of you!

It's definitely not an android thing, otherwise my previous 3 phones would have all done it too and I'd already have had a 5 year head start on learning how to stop it!

Right, just found it's a Samsung and LG thing. Seems you can edit the secphone.apk if you're rooted, or alternatively you can download an app called "disable increased ring" from the play store. With this app you get a persistent notification that it's running, but then if you go into application manager you can disable notifications for it. I tried the app and it works, no root access or custom rom needed.

Flash Omega or Wanamlite ROMs, they have this "feature" disabled

Thanks, just found an app that disables it anyway. What a stupid "feature".

I have this exact same problem on my s3 mini. So it's deffo a Samsung thing... Thanks for posting different solutions
"Disable Increasing Ring" app works fine so far.

[Q] Boot sound/Volume step sounds

I flashed a ROM onto my Galaxy S4 (And did it all according to instructions) and all seemed to be pretty cool.
When I restored to my default stock backup, the boot animation sound was no longer there, and when I press volume up/down, there is no sound to indicate the volume for the ringer on the phone.
Is there any way to get these back?
Device/Model: Telus SGH-I337M
Problem: No boot sound, and no sound when pressing up/down on volume to see ringtone volume.
Steps Taken: Sound works for everything except for what was mentioned above

Boomp!

Anyone at all? D:

For the boot sound, be sure you're not on vibrate/silent when you turn your phone on, for the no volume sound when you change the volume, check around in the sound settings. hope this helps.

I've checked to make sure I'm not on vibrate/silent when the phone is turning on, and I've poked around in the sound settings several times and have yet to find anything. Damn.
I can't figure out what the heck it is...

le bump.

Ire the sounds present?
/system/media/audio/ui
PowerOn.ogg
TW_Volume_control.ogg
Then check your system volume setting.

Unfortunately, those two seem to be absent from the folder. Thanks for letting me know where to look!

PROBLEM SOLVED! Just grabbed TW_Volume_control.ogg from another rom, threw it in place, and YEAH SOUND IS BACK!
Thanks so much joeybear23!

Get rid of Listening at a high volume message

Listening at a high volume for a long time may damage your hearing. Tap OK to allow the volume to be increased above safe levels.
Cancel OK

Anyone have a solution for this stupid notification?

I tried system tuner. Its don't work too.
I am also looking for solution for this.

Well, this is going to sound really stupid, but I finally just turned down the volume. Except it wasn't as easy as it sounds, and I can't explain how I did it. Volume setting was resistant to being permanently reduced, so I just kept poking and prodding at different volume settings and finally success. Good luck....

Now reboot your phone and tell us that message doesn't come back when you raise the volume to max.

I do not have an "Advanced Options" under "Settings > Volume" and neither did I ever faced such warning. I am able to change my volume to max (both on speaker and in headphones mode) without any warning.
Pls check attachment for screenshot of volume settings.

Correct. Have to leave it at reduced volume or you get the warning.

Interesting. You should have 3 dots in the upper right corner for more settings. Perhaps your country doesn't require the warning?

The high volume warning is an EU thing, annoying AF.

No 3 dots in volume settings either. Though I have seen this warning before on my a50. I am not sure if it appeared also for my s10 for first time or not but now it doesnt occur anymore. In my country, it gives that warning only for first time you try to raise the volume I guess.

Samtweak v2 worked for me

I'm using a UK Vodafone S10 Plus, ive just checked my volume. I don't get that message at all on mine. Maybe cause I use the app Volume Boost by Goodev. Only use it to increase the volume, didnt know it even had that feature, never checked til just now, or maybe it's not the app and I didnt have it in the first place. Don't want to uninstall it to find out. Never bothered me that much anyway.

I get it (975U1 US Unlocked). Why does it bug you so much? It's a one-time thing after a reboot. How often do you reboot? Just click OK and move on with your life lol.

Because it's been fairly easy to remove up until now and I don't need ANOTHER, useless dialog/notification to dismiss.

It's a waste of space and time!

It also comes back after 20 hours of listening so it is pretty annoying if you listen a lot...

[WORKAROUND FOUND] After May updates, notification sound vol controlled by media vol

I've had my Mi A1 for over a year now and have almost always had it on vibrate, so all calls/notifications cause the phone to vibrate, but any media that gets played will be at the volume set for media.
Over the past couple of weeks though, notifications (not sure about calls, don't get many of them) will play the notification sound at the volume set for media. I can only get them to shut off if I mute the media volume. I've tried changing the volume for both media and ringing, and restarting the device, but to no avail. I either have to leave it muted and miss notifications, or leave it unmuted and get a jumpscare each time (it also plays notifications when I'm on a call, and you can imagine the jumpscare I get with my phone at my ear and a sudden loud notification).
I recently started using Bose QC35 ii headphones through Bluetooth with my phone, but I don't think that has anything to do with it because it was working fine with them before.
I've searched Google for this kind of issue but couldn't find anything other than standard instructions on adjusting the volume. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this (without doing a full reset of the phone, hopefully)?
EDIT: this is a stock ROM, I've never flashed anything new on it

So I solved this by going into Settings > Accessibility > Vibration and turning Ring & notification vibration off, restarting, and then on again. I was able to use the Pushy app to send test notifications so that I didn't have to wait for a friend to send me a message or something of the sort. My vibration mode now works as intended (not sure about calls, I don't know how I can test those without having a friend call me), and loud notifications according to the volume set for the ringer.

So as it turns out, today I once again got sound notifications, despite having set my phone to vibrate only. What could be resetting the sound profile like this (note that the ringer volume is still at zero) that the notifications play sound at the media volume? Anyone have any idea on this?

Why not just set them individually, it won't take long, when I first got my A1 I did just this.
Each time I got a notification I just pulled down and pressed the notification and customised it, most I turned off, the rest I either set to vibrate, a custom sound or left as it was.
Calls are easy to take care of, set ring volume to zero and it only vibrates.
For me:
I want a sound when I get a SMS.
I want a custom sound when I get a call.
I want no notification of gmail, (it would be going off constantly)
I only want Vibrate from WhatsApp messages.
Can't think of others but I think everything else is silenced.
If that is no good try "Volume butler" which will add a seperate volume control for notifications, not used it myself but it should do the trick: https://www.guidingtech.com/separate-ringtone-notification-volume-android/

The only downside of doing them individually is that I can't turn them all back on with one setting, as on some infrequent occasions I do want to hear them because I be expecting a message and not necessarily feel the phone in my pocket. and it seems I have to wait for the actual notification to come up? (can't seem to find the setting under the standard notifications settings menu).
I'll have a look at Volume butler, but it sure is disappointing that this would break when it was a nice feature to use.

Wow, thank you so much! I now at least know it isn't a unique issue for me, and have an idea of what causes it.

You're welcome, and seems that possibly if you unpair your BT device and reboot, you could get your notifications back to normal, but then you don't have your headset available...
Since the issue started outside of a system update, there is a chance it was introduced by a Google App or Play Services update, in which case hopefully Google will fix it soon since it's affecting a lot the Pixel phones.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I have a workaround for this that I came across in one of the dicussions somewhere. Inside Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Notifications I can turn off notifications for Google completely. I've also turned off Google Assistant under Settings > Google > Search, Assistant & Voice > Google Assistant. I don't remember which of those actually resulted in the behavior not returning, but I'm pretty sure I don't need either, so I'm OK with it for now. (actually, do Google Security notifications come under the Google app or some other one?)
PS: reboot is actually not necessary, it seems force stopping Google Assistant or Google resets the notification settings (but yes, I want my headset hahaha).

Seems it's been fixed by Google: https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...s-with-duplicate-alerts-and-ignored-settings/

Thanks! I will "just sit tightly" (as it says on the update) :laugh: as I wait for the update.
