Hello,
Never posted a problem before but I guess it was time I did....
I'm so far a proud owner of an HTC Touch HD. I even customized a bit installing SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 over the original theme. It has worked fine until now. For some reason (unknown to me) the phone "looses" it's ringtones. Meaning that when trying to alter the ringtone for incoming calls and messages whatever ringtone is already part of the phone gets corrupted thus not working. So, any incoming call or message was missed by not "hearing them". I tried to find the original htc touch hd sounds to insert them again and replace the "corrupted" files but with no luck. I found a few here and there and put them inside the ringtones folder but still no joy. Having tried almost anything I knew, SPB Backup was my last resort. I restored to a previous state (a couple of weeks ago time) and it seemed to be working again...at least for a few days, when it "corrupted" the sounds ...again. It's becoming quite irritating to have to "restore" the phone to a previous backup every 2-3 days. What could be wrong ? Does anyone have an idea ? If it's not much to ask at least someone point me to a direction to resolve this. I can't have a phone that in the middle of the day just "happens to loose" it's voice all of a sudden, thus making me miss calls. Please, someone help me on this. I'm out of ideas. BTW can't hard reset or return the phone to factory settings due to a broken button (the one decreasing volume on the left of the device).... so I'm stuck to the phone "as it it now".
Also wanted to ask if anyone has the full set of original ringtones (in a package) to share. What's the correct location (folder I mean )to set them so that it recognizes them as ringtones ? I think "/Windows/Rings" folder is the one but I'm just asking to be sure.
Thanks.

I just bought my xv6900 2 days ago and i noticed that each time my phone goes idle as it goes to sleep and when someone text messages me i dont get a notification until i turn on the phone again with the button on top of the phone. and also sometimes i dont receive a call and when i next turn back on my phone it says missed call..
does anyone perhaps have the same problem or know whats wrong with my phone?
I have had the same problem and can't figure it out. I've done a hard reset and that fixes it for a bit, but no long term solution.
I have the following Software Installed:
SPB Mobile Shell
VIP Ringtone Manager
Shubaroo Group SMS

i have yet to install any other apps that didnt come with the phone. and i read that forum link u gave me, it doesnt seem to be my battery because i know my battery was at 80% when this happend. its such a nice phone but this really pisses me off. wish there was a solution.
I am having the same issue. I called verzion and they know nothing about it. Everyone who has this please call. I really like this phone but if it doesnt work like a phone its useless.
I've seen same problem on a Sprint Touch so it's not specific to Verizon.
I had 2 Sprint Touch phones side by side and one would not wake up from suspend for an incoming text or phone call. The second Touch worked properly and they had the exact same configuration. No clue why some of the HTC Vogue's have this issue and others don't.
I would call Verizon and ask for a swap if they ignore your problem.
Well I did a hard reset and it worked great for few days! Now back to normal.. looks like it is going back to verizon. Not sure what to get though.
Got the same problem but some days it works fine and some days it doesnt. I througth i had to much stuff saved or downloaded on the phone but when i removed programs that i downloaded that i never used it didnt fix anything so im puzzled like everyone else here.
same issue
I have had mine for several months now, i just had to do a hard reset recently and my phone has done the same exact thing ever since. I thought maybe it was a problem with polling. I did notice this time I hard reset, verizon did not have me set my A key, instead they changed something on their side and had me do a 228 reprogram. So i wonder if something is being changed via this new method ( the guy told me he just figured out he could do it this way and not require me to set my akey ).
Hi All.
I've persevered with this problem long enough and I'm reaching the point where I'm ready to send my phone back and ask for something else.
The problem is, seemingly at random, the phone loses the notification settings for SMS, MMS and reminders and silences them all and turns off all display messages.
The only way I catch a message coming in these days is to have the phone on the desk and watch for the screen turning on.
It leaves the volume up for the phone ringing etc but switches off messages.
It's absolutely doing my head in. I've googled but noone else seems to be reporting similar messages so I'm wondering if there is something really easy I'm missing or is it a hardware thing some how.
Anyone got any ideas? Filaing that, has anyone got a backup of the original UK T-Mobile ROM that I can put back on?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Exactly the same is happening to my dual, after I upgraded to WM 6.1! It's really annoying.
I reported the problem to Customer Support, but they only recommended to perform a hard reset
Of course I did, but nothing happens.
I found the registry keys which are supposed to control this, but it's useless for me - Maybe someone can find a way to keep the settings in read-only mode or something
I hope HTC release a hotfix for this problem asap!
Hi ,
I've searched about every forum I could find, but m problem is:
I have the x1.
Installed the tweak, Spb Mobile shell, Fring, Slide2unlock
I have the newest rom update.
Every time I get a call OR when I make a call my sound automatically goes through the speaker. I don't want that.
I want to decide if and when the call is going through te speaker.
I disabled s2u but it did not help.
Am I missing something?
Please do help.
I did a hard reset today.
then afterwards I found the problem to be solved.
but afterwards some of my previous settings were gone
so I have restored to before.
I still have the same problem for which I now know is clearly a software issue.
Could it be caused by slide2unlock?
please help
i have slide 2 unlock and no issues for me.
so you can probably rule that one out. \i cant help you with anything else tho
Well I'd hard reset and slowly install programs and change settings until you find what is causing the problem.
think that is the only option left.
unfortunately I did that once
the basic setting were completel different than now.
maybe someone has an answer.. otherwise.. dang...
I called the xperia service number today.
It seems there is an update of the ROM availlable.
BUT NOT FOR T-mObile phones...
Anyways.
they also stated one option: hard reset.
damned...
I'll try that and back-it up after every bit of installed software.
Maybe the problem will show up...
hate it when these type of things happen.
As the title says, I have no sound from the earphone during voice call. Also, when trying to call somebody, it shows on their phone but they can't hear anything from me.
The problem appeared suddenly, without any intervention from me.
I've tried, without any luck, the following:
- battery pull (several times, to be exact);
- SIM change (also switching operators);
- nandroid backup + data wipe + restore;
- I was running the SAFE 1.37 ROM and had it rooted. I flashed to "not so safe" 1.37 ROM from shipped roms, still nothing.
EVERYTHING else works perfectly on the phone: SMS, mobile data, etc etc.
I'm quite desperate at the moment as I feel I've tried everything I know and I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem that will require me to go back to the seller with it.
Has anyone else experienced this and solved it? I've tried searching on google and here on the forums, couldn't find anything.
Thanks for all your help.
Well I did go with it to the service center.
Should take them no more than 15 days to tell me something...hope it doesn't take that long, though....
In the meantime, if anybody knows anything about this problem, please do post...
It may not help me but it may help others.
Got it back from the service centre today.
Apparently it was just a hardware problem : they've replaced the earphone.
Everything back to normal now, topic can be closed.
Dears,
I have the following problem for 2 weeks now:
I copied a ringtone mp3 to the SDcard and set it as default (game of thrones theme), since then the phone is not playing ANY ringtones, it's only playing the default very annoying ring. Even when I try to setup a factory ringtone it's the same, sometimes after the setup of a new ringtone, the first caller rings with the saved tone but the second goes to the default. It's terribly annoying.
Facts:
- I have the phone for 6 months now, no issues
- From the very beginning I used custom ringtones, no issues
- My ringtone was on the SDcard but the results are the same when I copy them on the phone internal memory
- Upgraded to Gingerbread and it's still the same problem
What did go wrong?
How on earth can it malfunction from one day to the other with a change of a ringtone?
Any help is more than welcomed!
Regards,
Crusader
Okay, this solved my problem, however I still find it strange that you need to basically strip your phone to make it work. Maybe one of my apps caused the issue, I don't know, anyway.
Bought a new micro SD so I don't have to format the old, did a factory reset, put new mSD in, copied a ringtone and it was working, I tried several times, it's solved. Than I started to basically rebuild my phone but that's another issue.
One advice: don't do this when you are roaming and you don't have a wifi connection Blur can really trick you
