[Q] With ICE GLACIER V1.1.6. - alarm issue... - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a total noob w/ <10 posts, so I'm not allowed to post in the development threads.
I have ICE Glacier V1.1.6. ROM.
I set my alarm with the setting that allows the alarm even when phone is silent, but the alarm has no volume.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug with the ROM?

I have iced glacier 1.1.6 and tested the alarm in vibrate mode. It worked perfectly so I guess it must not be the rom.

SMS Notification Question

Okay so I am used to using MP3's as SMS Notifications when I was on Energy's ROM but I recently switched to try out a new rom, well on his ROM as soon as you open the notification the MP3 song would stop playing. I am now running Englencia ROM and it does not. What I am wondering is there some sort of tweak to allow this or an app?
I have searched every where and cannot seem to find a solution to this.
You probably won't find the an answer here. Try asking in the Englencia ROM thread.

Quick Keys on a custom ROM (MIUI.US)

Hello boys, girls, and friendly animals.
I installed MIUI.US yesterday and noticed the same thing that's always bothered me from non-stock or non-CM ROMs: there's no way to use the phone's Quick Keys (other than setting them to work like, say, a Back button using ButtonRemapper).
One of the things I use the most from the stock ROM is the shortcut to send an SMS to a contact. I've found that without this, ROMs eventually annoy me.
Is there any way to go about and making these work? I tried installing UserKeysTool.apk (com.tmobile.userkeystool) from a stock ROM (s14mc's 1.6 Slim) to no avail; the app simply crashes upon opening it, which means I'm missing some other file I'm not aware of.
Any help would be appreciated here.

CM7.2 RCs & Nightlies FC during calls. Where should I post about this?

When using the latest RC and Nightly CM7, my HTC Vision Calling App force closes when I pick up the phone sometimes, and it seems to be when there is screen rotation involved.
I am now able to reproduce my FC:
1. Make a call (such as to my voicemail).
2. Slide the physical keyboard open and closed, repeatedly. This rotates the screen each time, as I have accelerometer rotation disabled.
3. After a few keyboard slides, I will get a message "com.android.phone ... stopped working .. force close.. etc"
I have flashed 3 different radios from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
I have wiped the the efs data, as per suggestions in above thread.
I have also done a full wipe of my phone, and reinstalled different versions of CM nightlies.
I have tried disabling screen rotation animation.
None of the above made any difference. The problem is solved when I revert back to CM 7.1.0 - should I post to official CM forums?
ummm... i think you answered your own question...

[Q] Low ringtone volume, no SMS notification

Hi All!
I've flashed a [JB] [4.1.2] Pixeldroid Jelly Bean V2.4[AOKP] rom to my HD2, almost everything is good,
but one problem makes me crazy.
The ringtone volume is very low. Interesting is, that if I choose rintone in settings its "preview" volume is great, but if real person calls me it is very quiet.
I read a lot about common Android problem and tried a number of volume boost apps with no result. I read also, that on Jelly Bean these all apps don't work with external speaker.
I read the whole ROM developer thread, and nobody mentioned about low volume problem. Do I have just no luck?
Before I had Windows Phone and volume was OK. And as I said, also it's loud enough playing music to an external speaker or selecting ringtone. Only if somebody calls me it's quiet.
Another problem, that was mentioned in the developer thread is no notification tone receving SMS, at all! just vibration.
Please help.

MusicFX does not help to me What I did an mp3 little bit louder but with disorting, helps but not so much.
With SMS vibration first I had also no vibration, it is switched off by default. In SMS window press HD2 middle "windows" button, choose Settings, and somewhere there is Vibration in menu, set to "Always".

New version 3.0 is online. Did anyone test it?
Question: (I'm new with Android) how do I store/restore my applications? For example, I have already Navigon with hundred MB maps on SD Card, should I install all of them again?
I heard "Titanium Backup" - helps this?

Pixeldroid ROM, look at first post. I think the low ringtone volume problem is general Jelly Bean problem, I read a lot about Nexus Phones, that was upgraded to Jelly Bean and have low ringtone volume.
But maybe custom-ROM developers has an idea how to fix this?
Well I'm going crazy, or Adnroid is the system from the Future, which heart my wishes and corrects itself
Yesterday I had no tone receiving SMS, and ringtone volume was very low. Yes, yesterday I definitly received SMS and calls.
Today the volume is good and SMS tone also
I did nothing - I'm still on Pixeldroid 2.4, no apps installed - nothing. One thing I can remember - It hanged yesterday as I wanted to run Angry Birds Start Wars for my son, and I pulled out the batterie, and boot it again. Two days ago I played with and set Musik Effects to "Musik FX", but without any changes.
May be this is it: set to Musik FX and reboot?

try this if you want to ..its what i did
copy the attached musicFX apk to your sdcard then with esfile explorer or root explorer copy it from your sdcard to system/app then paste and overwrite the existing one then reboot
it helped me with low volume and ringtones
i noticed my 'dspmanager' quits alot on me. i will be listening to pandora or something, pck up the phone to adjust volume and get a message 'dspmanager has stopped working' or something to that effect. maybe that's the root issue to the volume problem.
in fact, just came across this on another link. i'll give that a try.
This is not fix, but you can turn off DSP...Go to DSPManger> uncheck Enable for each configuration (Heaset, Phone speaker, and Bluetooth device).

nevermind, no love. seems the dspmanager version baked into the JB ROM doesn't provide the ability to disable it for those settings.

Try the following:
Tip Volume up or down. On the rightside choose preferences and set all to full. Voilá.
same problem with ringtone and sms tone
I am having the same problem, but this problem only started when I changed my sim card
to a new one as my old sim card would not receive a signal.
I was running my HD2 with a jellybean rom for months without this low volume on ringtone problem.
As soon as I inserted a new sim card , the phone now has the low volume problem.
I have tried to re-flash the rom , it works but only for a few hours.
The ringtone and sms tone will be loud for up to 1 day , and then it suddenly goes low on the ringtone,
and does not work at all for sms.
Anyone with a fix ?
Why does it work for 1 day and then go like this ?

Any idea what happens just before the volume changes? A particular sound played, app ran or ?

This is just a shot in the dark and is probably useless..
Are you using MP3, WAV or some other sound format in some cases and OGG in some others? In other words, let's say your ringtone is OGG but the notification is MP3 or the other way around? If yes, try to change *ALL* sounds to OGG and see if that helps.
Thanks for your help, but it did not work.
The funny thing is , when you select a ringtone from settings/sound it plays
back loud, also if i try to adjust the volume from low to full it also plays back loud.
Only when i get an incoming call or sms , thats when its low, too low . I often miss the call
as i do not hear it.
I tried re-flashing the rom, it worked but only for 1 day, then suddenly switched.
No obvious reason or installation.
What bothers me is that the HD2 did not have this low volume problem before
I changed my sim card.

Unfortunately I have seen this issue reported in various devices and ROMs.
My guess would be it is something on the Android / Google level though I cannot say what.

[Q] Whatsapp notifications even when muted?

I put my phone in silent/mute mode (using quick settings) every night, but it never stops Whatsapp notifications sounding. Does anyone know how/why Whatsapp notifications bypass the mute setting?
Somebody posted a similar problem in another thread. Maybe it was you.
Anyway, use a standard notification sound that came with the rom you're using. The guy (or girl) said that using a custom notification sound causes the problem.
Thanks, but i already use a standard notification sound
???
I don't know. I rarely set my phone on silent.
I tried myself and it seems that it doesn't work for me either. What rom are you using?

That's interesting - do you mean you also get disturbed by Whatsapp notifications even when in silent mode?
I'm running Phoenix ROM v10.2 (Android 4.4.2).
Yes. So I think it's a whatsapp related. I use a custom ringtone.
I'm using a GPE rom
