Vibrate/Ring Issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

hi guys, when I use a custom ringtone, the ring seems to be cascading. for example, it starts off quietly then randomly blasts the sound full volume. I haven't touched any settings and my ringtones are all standard .mp3 files cropped with ringdroid. when I use the pre-installed ringtones it doesn't do this but it vibrates first and then rings. any tips? thanks.

It's called ascending ringtone... normal stock galaxy behavior. Most custom roms disable it or have the option to disable it. I dont think there is a stock setting to turn it off though cant remember for sure and dint have time to check.

In order to rid yourself of this, the only solution I have found thus far is the app "Disable Increasing Ring."

Please refer to my screenshot above. I'm still not getting it.
Those advanced settings are part of CyanogenMod which then show up in other ports of that ROM
When you scroll down more? There should be a section about call settings to make sure call waiting is on.
Dunno, my phone makes the normal "beep" sound when I have call waiting so either something you have disabled it or something else is screwed up. If nothing works soon then i'd say do a FULL format and reinstall 4.2.2 from the Google factory image and see how that goes.

I'm on stock. Did not root yet...
I just stopped by to see if any resolution to this problem yet? It seems no one interested... : (
Why start a new thread?...anyone come up with a solution. I just came back to my N4 from a S4 and this is the ONLY issue I have with it.

Link ringtone and notification volume?

I haven't been able to find any other posts on this, so if this question has already been answered, I apologize.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to link the ringtone and notification volumes on my S4. This feature has been present in every other android phone I've ever used, so I can't imagine Samsung would choose to omit it. Does anyone have any insight on this?
*bump*
Anyone?
Use master volume is disabled in the framework-res.apk

Why would they do that?
Same reason they disabled home and lock screen rotation

And wallpaper scrolling. They're the worst.

Have people done this yet? I am using the GOLDENEYE ROM and would love to have these volumes linked up. I decompiled framework-res.apk, but I have no idea which file to add this option to.

Thank You! I cant believe I had never noticed this before. I always thought it would be a handy feature, I was secretly jealous that my wifes iPhone could do it and my GS2 couldn't. I may have to power up the GS2 just to see if the option was always there.

Hope that it gets root access quick. Maybe a custom rom could add the feature back to the phone

Yeah, it doesn't work. It's just like Blocking Mode when the S3 was originally released. You could find it and turn it on in a similar way, but it didn't actually do anything when turned on (even though the icon was displayed in the task bar just like it is for this).

Yup the GN2 was the same way. It required extensive code to get it working right due to the integration with TouchWiz. I am hoping this might be quite a bit simpler.
I am going to compare the t-mobile code and the vzw code to see the differences.

[THEME/APP] KK Dark Mms.apk

Hello all,
This in my theme that I've been using since JB was first released, I like it and see no reason to change it. Just want to share with others that may like it or decide this would be a good starting point for their theme.
I'm pretty sure this will work on all phone screen sizes, I've personally tested this on the N5, N4 and Galaxy Nexus.
This Mms was taken from AOKP nighlty version 4.4.2-eng..20140513.000013.
EDIT!! Added normal back and forth version, same build version and the other.

I don't know, it's working for me. Have you tried clearing your cache and fixing permissions? Those are usually my go to solutions.
