[Q] Low ringtone volume, no SMS notification - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera
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".

Thanks for the solution for the vibration problem.. I didn't notice that option in the settings for the messages till now
for the second part, did anybody try installing another sound manager?

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 ?

If you have a 50% chance of being right, you will be wrong 90% of the time...

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.

Where to find the "battery fully charged" sound?
Hello, I already used the search function without a satisfying result. I am too using the SGS as an alarm clock and want to get rid off this annoying sound. The workaround is ok but not more. So I thought I create a mute sound and replace the original one with it. For that I need to know where it is. Thanks for your help!
in JPU (not sure about others) it's /system/audio/ui/TW_Battery_caution.ogg
I noticed battery full sound is same with default notification sound and changes at the same time. If that is the case, there is no separate battery full sound. What I did was set default notification to silent and set each application (talk, email, etc.) to unique notification sound. Maybe that is not what you are looking for, but works for me. (For both JH2 and JK4)
Hi guys, thanks! I´ll try it out. Cheers

Hi, im looking for the TW_Battery_caution.ogg sound (i would like to set it as my notifications sound), but my phone isnt rooted so i have no access to the /system folder. could anyone send me that file to [email protected] ? thx

Unaudible "Second incoming call" notification
Hi everyone, I've been running FroyoStone on my HD2 since a while, but I've just noticed this morning that my "Second incoming call notification sound" is unaudible ! To be clear : supposing X is calling me while I'm already online with Y, the screen displays the X caller ID (if the screen is on - for example when I use loudspeaker), but I cannot hear any notification sound... Would you have a solution to this issue because I've missed many calls recently with that (and my darling is mad to me now although I swore to her I had really not noticed her calls !!! ). Thanks XDA.
Did you recently mute any application? (e.g. motonav, google navigation) Try unmuting these applications while they are running and check settings - sound to see if any of the sliders are muted. Also try unmuting while browser is playing sound from some website. One of these should fix your problem. Please give feedback.
Hi and thank-you for your reply. I've never muted any apps, but tried anyway your tricks. It is still not working. My phone rings when I receive a "first call" but a second call, while already online, is never notified... Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
weird, I get proper notification with second incoming call. I would only suggest you the obivious: Backup your current Android folder and temprorarily try another build to see if you get the sound. Thus you can find out if it is build related. Also, do you get notification with winmo?
I've tried to call myself while already online at a moment where everything is very quiet... and I can hear a notification ! Very very tiny one, almost unaudible but it's there ! Would you know a way to make it loudder ?
Low call volume in NAND builds [PROBLEM]
I see many people have problem with low call volume in NAND builds. Me too. The problem is only in an incoming call. When I make a call everything is OK and the sound is normal, but when I receive a call it's very very low. I can hardly hear the other side. If I turn on and then off the speaker during the call, the sound becomes normal (as it should be). But it's very annoying to do it on every call. I've tried different builds with different kernels, different radios, but the problem is still there. So if anyone has a solution, please post it here.
Delete/move the htcleo.acdb out of etc/firmware and system/etc/firmware and reboot, this should make it somewhat better, overall. But Ringer, notification, alarm, and media volumes are still not where they should be.
in futureshocks nand rom the call voulume is very good and the other sounds too i also tought it's a nand problem but with his build there is no problem
In the JDMS build the volume level is amazingly loud. Check it out. Sent from my HTC bravo using XDA App

Click to collapse you just basicly took out the file that prevents you from getting background noise, hence the htcleo.acdb, thus leaving the default.acdb in its place if you want a louder overall speaker volume, take out the htcleo.acdb from other builds and swap it with yours.

MMI code notification sound
Hello,I got a problem related to notification sound ,whenever i get sim related notification "credit, mmi code etc" it plays the horrible "life is good" notification sound, It seems theres a specific sound for this window as i already changed the sound for other notifications,hope someone can help me , iam stock non rooted HKG rom, cheers Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Weird. On my phone it plays the default notification sound.
well this dude has the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627212 it maybe a HKG rom issue?? Can there be any work around this issue, cant even locate the notification file to delete it or something Thanks
It should be in system/media/audio/notifications.

Download the file, unpack it and copy mp3 to sd card/audio/notifications or sd card/amedia/notifications. If such folders don't exist, create them. I'm not shure which od these two paths will work, try both. Then go to the settings, sound>system>notification sound and choose silent mp3, it should be there. If not, add it with the + sign in the upper right corner. You can also find silent ring.ogg file and copy it to the sd card if above method with mp3 doesn't work.
Hey thanks for your reply . But didnt solve anything , this made notifications silent for everything (ex whatsapp) while also still playing the "life is good" for ussd notifications :banghead:
[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?

Yes. So I think it's a whatsapp related. I use a custom ringtone. I'm using a GPE rom
