[Q] Phone wont ring or play notification sounds - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using a song in my music library as my ringtone but i didnt change the ringtone back to a default when i removed all of my songs for Google's Online Music app. Now, even when I choose another ringtone or notification sound and set the ringer to full volume, nothing plays when i get a notification or a phone call. I tried to update my rom (CM 7.0.0 to CM 7.0.3) and put the same old song back on but neither of those worked. I also attempted to get another ringtone app (Zedge) but that still didnt work. This is causing me serious problems and the only way I can tell if someone calls me is if i have my vibrate on, and that still isnt that helpful. Has anyone had this problem and/or fixed it without a factory reset?

No ringtone/message sounds

Strange one no ringtone or message sounds and mediaplayer not working, but will play music and sounds function in my sat navs. i did remove rings folder from windows but replaced it again. Any suggestions
Happened to me too.. Just did a soft reset and it worked again. Only happened once in a month.
had to use sprite image to restore soft reset didn't cut it.
Me too
Used sense player yesterday for first time with set of sony headphones, also watched a movie on coreplayer. Was working fine.
But today I now do not have any 'system' sounds i.e. ringtone, notifications, sense player.
Sound in all other apps is fine.
When I try to change ringtone in settings, it won;t accept it and registers my choice as 'none'.
Any ideas?
Could be volume down in another app? Or BSB tweaks?
I had this problem - solved it through two different issues:
First, I had lost my ringtone. I was using copilot live sat nav & didn't realise that the volume is automatically muted when you receive a call whilst using sat nav. It is worth checking both the touch screen volume in copilot and also the rocker button volume, just check they are both set to max & not muted when you exit copilot. You may have another app (e.g. coreplayer) that has its own volume that somehow affects the system volume settings that your ringtone uses.
I also had lost notification sounds - I then remembered I had installed BSB tweaks and had turned one the LED notification options. When I turned these back off again, my notification sounds returned.
Worth a try.
This should work ...
There's another thread on this issue, including my reply to solve the issue. Well, it worked for me, and it was very simple.

Phone Stopped Ringing...

Stock N1 just stopped ringing (playing the ringtone). While the phone is receiving a call...pressing the volume button doesn't do anything. When in settings to change the ring volume, it works (plays the ringtone). I've rebooted twice...pulled the battery...and still no ringtone (even changed ringtones). Notification ringtones work...it's just the call ringtone.
Hoping to not Reset the phone. Any Ideas? (haven't installed any new apps for weeks)
Are you sure the volume for the ringer is up? It is possible for the ringer and notification volumes to be separately set.

new bug in lpb .. ringtone issue

on every boot up I get an obnoxiously loud song playing... any idea what that is. The song it is playing is t s_over_the_horizon built in ringtone
the ringtone was becuase i had my backup sim card in and have no minutes left and have a voicemail message.. I think it is a bug in lpb and is trying to play my default message /notification tone and the sd memory is not mounted yet on boot up so it is playing that obnoxious song.
doesnt matter if i put my notification on the sd or the external sd.. will try now copying it to system instead.
doesnt matter if the notification tone i have is in system either..
now trying to move my default ringtone somewhere in system
tried with both my default ringtone and notification tone copied to system.. still plays the damn song immediately loudly on boot if i have a message when booting up.. very annoying..
other issue is screen most times goes black immediately after making or receiving a call and cannot be reactivated either with home buttons or touch screen for 20-30 secs.. not useable like this.. especially if you need to dial some code or turn on speaker. I think this may be due to some bug reading the state of the proximity sensor or something.
No need for a new thread, just post your bug report in the existing LPB thread(s)
Closed.

ringtone problems

Hi @ all.
I have problems with ringtone on off in 5.1.1 roms.
When I use vibration mode or mute for a time I can't switch
Back to ringtone on.
I can't move the fader to regulate the loudness.
It stucks on the left side and nothing happen.
I must reboot my phone to fix it.
Someone has an idea why?
I use ringtones from zedge app. Maybe there is the problem?

No sound on stock

Lately I've been having an issue with the stock rom, where randomly throughout the day the phone will stop playing notification tones or any music. Google play music(and any other music app) just simply won't play anything at all until I reboot it. I don't have this problem on AOSP
Any ideas?
TLDR; phone stops playing any music, or notification tones. Plays certain notification tones fine though xD.
Thanks!
Did you find the fix? Having the same problem
Have this problem on my wife's phone. Calls don't ring, alarm doesn't sound, notifications don't sound. I am not sure about music. A reboot fixes it temporarily. We use our phones as our alarm clocks and that sucks. I have her using her Nexus tablet for an alarm but it is inconvenient. If anyone has a solution you are awesome. Hers should be covered under Moto's warranty but with my experience with them(original atrix) it takes me shipping them the phone multiple times before they fix it or replace it and shipping gets expensive.
