DTMF tones instead of waterdrop - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I just wanted to call a hotline and I noticed that there is only a waterdrop tone instead of the traditional DTMF tones.
The issue is that you cannot navigate through the menu of the hotline. Pressing 1 or 2 key does not send the tone.
I saw that there is an older thread where a procedure is described, but since this is quite old I want to know whether someone figured out sth new.
Any solutions? Many people must have this problem, actually.
Cheers,
Sven

Does nobody else have that problem?

I hate water drop sound

Yes, I have the same problem with my Galaxy S4. I hate this water drop sound when dialing a number. One solution is to use another dialer but I want to know if there another solution to this problem.
best regards

Call waiting needs to be enabled by the network operator. Have you tried this SIM card in your other phone to see if it is to do with the operator or the handset?

No phone I know of will tell the other person that they are waiting, that is a network function. For example in the UK with landlines if you call a BT phone the person calling will get "The other person knows you are waiting, please hold" or something similar while they are talking to someone else. This is a network property not a handset one.
---
The only exception is devices like those made by Gigabyte, but to my knowledge HTC do not have this property.
He mean the well known problem in WM5 (and WM6) that enventualy mess with the alert queue. I got the problem and I solve it with the automatic clean-up of the program MemMaid.

tanX
Oh! Apologies, I thought you meant a signal the caller gets...
Notification Alert Queue's can be cleared with MemMaid, and I think SKTools can also help

From what they have said it sounds like you use MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/) to fix your alert queue. It has a "Rebuild the queue" option in it. Mahjong apparently uses MemMaid's scheduling abilities to automatically clean his phone, which solves the problem for him. I don't have this problem but hopefully that makes sense to you and helps you.
good
this is very important for pocketpc and ithing we must go for it any idea thanks

1) Search Google for Memmaid.
2) Install it in your PDA
3) Run MemMaid QuickClean (you will find it under Programs once you install Memmaid)
4) Done
This solve the problem to me.
Ah I almost forgot to mention that I learned about those 4 steps reading the messages at xda-developers.com... The Search option you find in the top of every page is a great tool.
Best regards,

I think you guys must be confused...
In my case, when i call someone that is on a call with call waiting activated on my HTC Touch doesn't "say" anything. On my old Nokia it "says" Waiting.
Another think i noticed is when i receive a diverted call on the old phone says "diverted call" and then put a simbol before the number. On my new phone no information about it is displayed.
I know this happens with HTC's... don't know about other brands...
Can anyone know if there is any app that can make the phone "smarter" in this case?

Hi. I didn't find any problem with my X1's ring tone. Please don't select mp3 or polyphonic ringtones that has very low recording volumes, because X1 will not be able to enhance the low volume of such tones. Try this tone, like phones.mp3, which i donwloaded from SE X1 site. This tone is very loud for me, if it is not in your phone then there might be a problem.
Note also the position of the speakers in X1, its at the bottom area left and right side, almost to the same level of CALL and END botton. When you are holding your X1 or if it its inside the pouch then the speakers are obstructed, giving you a low ring sound.

X1 after restart always on 'Ring' only!

Hello everyone!
Since always I found that on my X1i (generic_uk 3AA) the Ring and Vibrate changes back to just 'ring' after a restart.
Is there any way to make this Ring and Vibrate "permanent" even after a restart? I looked into the Registry but did not find a proper value to mess around with ....
I had now 6 or 7 of those X1s and this last one is 09W23(!) and still does that.
Help is appreciated
What is this... nobody has the same problem and/or nobody knows a registry 'trick' or other means to solve that either?

(having that many phones wouldnt matter it would be a software bug if anything)
Just checked mine - after a restart it is still set to vibrate and ring
BUT i am running Vodafone UK - i actually prefered it to generic but since i am using a different rom i cant say properly although they are very similar - see what someone with the same firmware says.
Dont know how to fix though sorry
Hey, thanks for answering. I have voice command installed and a photo contact program that includes ring selections. Even though I don't use those, one never knows if these interfere somwhow.
But there should be some here who know a registry setting and/or have the same problem and solved it somehow.
In any case.... waiting for now....

Ringtone problem

Hi all,
I got my TD2 and I must say I like it very much.
Learning now for ROMs and this stuff, I was at Symbian till now .
One question: I have problem with ringtone when receiving call. No matter what ringtone I put, mp3 one, I got snaps and short empty spaces, like when you talk on walkie-talkie but not that obvious. Maybe it has something with bits, mono-stereo or something.
Anyone have same problem?

How about when you use a standard ringtone from HTC?
If that is also bad and you have stock rom you will have to hard reset your device.

Yes, it's the same and yes I have stock ROM.
So I'll check if hard reset helps me.
Thanks.
Same thing happened.
I updated it with new ROM (official from HTC) and same thing is happening.
My ringtone is like when you listen CD in car and hit a bump.
Anyone having same problem?

REALLY loud ring-tone

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me. I have had a little search around, and still can't find a solution to my problem.
I recently flashed to Oz rom 1.5 , and I'm on radio 2.07.50.27_2.
So basically no matter what setting I put the volume to, my ringtone and notifications are always the loudest they can be (obviously not if its on silent or vibrate) I have tried changing ringtone back to the default one, and its exactly the same. Is there a reg edit I can do? Does anyone else suffer from this?
Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers

You can have it set to have different volumes for system sounds and ringtones.
When you click one of the volume buttons, do you have "System" and "Ring" tabs at the top of the page? If you do, make sure you're on the ring one to set ringtone volume. This can also be done from the "Sound & Display" options on the settings tab.
Hope this helps mate
Thanks johncmolyneux, I've already tried that and it makes no difference. I have it set so there is only one volume control (so system and ringtone volume is combined) ... any other ideas?
Sorry mate, I know that was a bit of an obvious thing to check, but you never know on here
I guess my only advice would be to go back to the ROM thread and ask there. Maybe it's a problem with that.
no prob mate... I have asked there as well and the chef wasn't sure either...
are there any registry things I can check? I was thinking maybe my phone thinks 'level 1' on the volume is actually 'level 5' or something?
its so annoying-scares the life out of me every time someone calls!

Having never had a problem with this myself, I've got no idea where this particular data is stored. It does sound like something that would live in the registry though, so I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help you out. There's some walking encyclopaedias of Windows registry on here! lol
Good luck getting it sorted mate.
any one out there now where in the registry I should look?
cheers in advance!
