Having a weird problem right now.
I'm on a Dell Streak on contract with AT&T. I used the QDL Tool to go to the "official" 2.2 build.
When I try to select a ringtone, it highlights my choice then exits back to the homescreen. It did NOT remember the selection, either. It has simply reverted back to the original.
Also, even before this problem started, I could not find a way to preview the tones on the phone. If I selected a ringtone (before it kicked me out), nothing happened. No confirmation, no preview, nothing.
I'm using ADW launcher with most of the stock options. I have not used any ringtone program or download, yet.
Any thoughts?
I haven't used the official build, but it might work if you check "Silent Mode," then select your ringtone (of course you won't be able to hear what you're selecting), then uncheck "Silent Mode" and exit. That's what you have to do with DJ Steve's builds.
That worked. Go figure.
Thanks!
(( UPDATE ))
The most recent DJ Steve's ROM 1.5.1 works just fine. My phone ring tone and ring tone selection work exactly as they should.

Phonealarm 1.54 is superb, but it's casuing me a very annoying problem, and I don't know why:
I like to have my phone set to "Vibrate" at all time. By that, I mean clicking the little speaker at the top of all WM5 devices and where you get the 2 sliders for volume of device and phone, at the bottom it has "On", "Vibrate" and "Off".
However since I installed Phonealarm my phone always reverts back to "On" - but I can't seem to work out why, there's no pattern to it - sometimes it just sits there on Vibrate, then next time I use the phone it's back to On. I can't seem to work out if things like going into the Phonealarm setup menu causes it, or clicking an alert in Phonealarm, or whatever - it just seems that after a while it'll revert to "On" without me asking it to, and it's only been happening since I installed Phonealarm.
Any ideas?
phoneAlarm 1.54
Its hard to say with this programme. The developer has built so much into this excellent app for so may devices, there always seems to be one problem or another. I would post a question in the support forum (www.pocketmax.net). Bruce (the developer) is pretty responsive. He may ask you to send a log ad he will try and fix in next version. I am waiting for 1.55, due out on the next few days

I believe you need to put the option to vibrate in all profiles. For exampe in the settings screen, if you go to a particular profile then click on sms notification you need to tick the vibrate option. To get it working on the ring tone as well set the ring option in profiles to "Vibrate and Ring". Remember to do this for all alerts for all profiles!

I did a search of the forums and found 2 post without any solution to this problem. It started happening today to me and I've tried almost everything to make it work, i dont want to resort to a hard reset. Does anyone know how to solve this? My vibrate motors work fine as I just reverted back from an HTC Magic Port and my messages were vibrating perfectly fine.
Bump Still searching, found info that suggest a reboot removes this or setting the volume all the way down to silent then to vibrate would force it to fix itself. My G1 Still is not vibrating but the engine is perfectly fine because I keep testing it with a Magic Rom (H5.0.2).
Well, the obvious question is, have you gone into the messaging app and set it to vibrate?
Done all the sets already to properly troubleshoot the problem. Deleted any program having to do with calls and sms and still nothing.
Well then the only thing left is a factory reset. Once thats done make sure to go back into the messaging app and set it to vibrate.
If that doesnt fix it and you are running a rooted phone then reflash whatever firmware you are running.
An actual answer!
I had the same problem as you... i just got my phone yesterday, and I've been trying to get it to vibrate... and finally i found out how to! Go into messaging app (if a thread is open, click the MENU button press "more" then "all threads"); click the MENU button; press "settings"; at the very bottom of the list press "vibrate".
For some reason, none of my SMS programs will vibrate even when I tell them to... SMS Pop-up, CHOMPSMS and the default messaging won't vibrate. The Missing Call app in the market will vibrate though so anyone have an idea as to what the problem is?
mine is the same way. don't understand it. seems to have started with the update
I have noticed with the newest (5.0.1 and 5.0.2) update from cyanogen whenever I flash either his ROM (or my theme which uses his ROM as a base) that I have to go into the messaging app and re-check the vibrate option.
Weird - this occurs on mine also on all messaging apps. I have rooted with the new update (not the newest one that isn't OTA yet). Any advice?
Anyone have any fixes? I noticed that notifications for other apps don't vibrate as well; Gmail and mobile package tracker specifically.
i found a solution by trolling other forums. install 'sound manager' from the market. open it, hit the menu soft key, and select the vibration settings option. when that opens, set it up however you want. tested it, and now i have vibration with sms again! sounds like it is some extra work, but whatever. it works
You are my hero! that fixed it!

oooo crap that's true... oo wait, IT DOESN'T WORK...
no, it didn't work for me, and doesn't for several people. the sound manager app fixed it. trust me. try it out.
Use handcent lol, Vibrate works great for me lol.
Confirmed - issue occurs on ANY rom as soon as Handcent is installed. Sound board or wipe is only way to resolve.
sound manager app fixes. see my post above
I love 235XX rom interface so much but the volume control interface is not convenient. Everytime when I set it to "vibrate" mode, ringtone is off but the phone also muted at the same time. Finally, I use 219XX loathly.
So, I want to know can I use the Volume control interface of rom 219XX in rom 235XX. Or have any method to "prevent" the phone is muted when using the rom 235XX setting to "vibrate" mode.
Thanks!!

Maybe I miss something but is this not the reason behind the "vibrate mode"? You want a quit phone which informs you only with vibrations and not with sound.

What do you exactly mean with "vibrate mode"?
The "vibration mode" for me is, when the call is coming, my phone will vibrate with no ringtone and I can hear and talk with my friend.
Attached image is not exact but similar volume control interface of 235XX rom. Everytime I want to set my phone to "vibrate"(no ringtone, but can hear and talk with my friend after I receive the call), I click the clickbox "vibrate" on the right side. After that both the ring and phone will drop to bottom. Even I know the call is coming and I receive it, I can't hear anything.

dude try blackstonehenge hyperseries for sense 2.5 or simple blackstonehenge for sense 2.1... they both r based on 6.5.x platform... 28232 series and the chef has made a custom volume control for them... which looks and works pretty much like the 219xx series htc volume control

This looks to me like a bug of some kind...
You can set your phone to ring and vibrate at the same time (which will be done when you select the 'on' box).
It can also only vibrate (the 'vibrate' box) and it can also do neither (which is the 'off' or 'silent' function).
In al three option calling itself is still possible without any problem. So you can hear the person on the other side of the line...
Does this cover your question or did i misunderstand?

Yes, for me also and with every 235XX ROM I used it was like this.

Like by every other ROM. When you will set only the phone to vibrate you have to use a tool for this or change the phone ring to vibrate.

I never have this problem and I test many different ROMS as Blackstone, energy, dutty, mary, evo, mikenificent ... ROMS.
Maybe you install something or make a tweak which have this result?

Ok! I see.
Would you suggest any tool for this function? AEButton??
Thanks all!
I do use the AEButton to control my mobile phone for changing to "vibrate" mode instead of using the volume control directly.
MOD EDIT - Moved to general forum as not related to rom development
Hello, I don't know if I post in the right place but it's the first time I see the same volume control that I got problem with.
Hi, I have a problem with my volume control screen. I tried to install a manilla custom thing (i don't remember which). The install failed. And from this time on, I've lost the original volume control screen, and I have one like seen in this post. How can I restore the original volume control screen please ?
Thank you If someone can help.

Hard Reset or provide more info about the ROM you're using and what volume control you used before.
I want to avoid a hard reset.
I never changed the ROM.
These are the original characteristics :
Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro
version syst 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.483.0 (76641) FRE 01/12/10
Radio 2.06.51.07
Protocole 15.30.50.07U
How can I know which volume control is used now ?
How can I roll back to the original one ?
BTW : This problem appeared when I tried to install Max Manilla. I had not enough memory, so the install failed and since then I've got this volume control screen old fashioned.
Thanks
I see the only possibility: Hard Reset!
Hard reset done
Hello, I reinstalled the Bouygues ROM. When I restore my SPB Backup, the problem is here again. Sadly I don't have any intermediate backup between the first one (no applications installed) and the last one.
How can I save the volume files from the first backup and install my last backup ?
Hi,
I've been using CM (lastest) on my N1. Now that Froyo is out I reverted to stock, applied Froyo, and CM's quickroot patch.
I set vibration to always in Settings -> Sounds.
The same in the Messaging application, it's set to vibrate always.
Unfortunately when I receive an SMS I don't get vibration at all, which is not nice.
Is this a bug, or do you guys know what might solve it?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. It doesn't seem to vibrate for e-mails either which is rather frustrating
edit: nvm, i didn't check the settings lol ><
get sound manager from the market. install it, open it, hit menu>vibrate settings. set whatever you want. that is what fixed it for me when i was having similar problems on eclair
