Help again please.
How do I set the ring time, or number of rings before answering on my xda mini s. I have looked in phone settings but can't see anything that relates to how long it should ring for before I answer or it diverts to answering machine.
If its in my pocket, I have trouble getting it out before its diverted to answer machine. Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere as I would like to double the short ringtime to a more reasonable length.
I also read somewhere about a newer rom than the o2 release rom. Anyone know where this is and what it does.
Thanks in advance.
This can be found under Setting-> Phone-> Services-> Call Forwarding
The maximum you can set it to is 30 seconds, but I'd like it to be longer as I seem to be missing calls!
I've noticed that the phone icon in the task bar comes on for about 5 seconds before it rings, has anyone else noticed this?
O2 reply
I contacted o2 about this as it eluded me for so long. They said:
Go to phone screen, type **61*901*11*, followed by the time in seconds and finish with # and click the green talk key.
I could get to 30 seconds and no more despite o2 saying I could set up to 60 seconds. What a lot of messing about. I agree (as does a friend) that it would be nice to get a longer delay as the preset time is too short and the maximum of 30 could be better. I suppose 30 seconds is something to do with the network.
Ah well. Nothing is perfect even when its close. Maybe in time.
Starting today, my phone's screen now stays on every time I receive a call. I had it in my desk and hadn't looked at it for a few hours. I took it out and saw the display was already on and had a missed call, but the missed call was from 2 hours earlier. Then again just now I look at it and the display is stuck on, and had received a missed call 30 mins prior. It seems that every time I receive a call and miss it (and have a VM), the display sticks on. Is anyone else experiencing this or is there a solution?
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I don't think I heard of anything like that before... my phone certainly doesn't do this.... Are you shure you don't have an app that would do it on purpose?
Just checking to see if there is any development. There a thread asking about it once a year, with 2 or 3 people saying they'd like that too, so I thought I'd start this years.
So: Is there any kind of registry-hack that allows you to change the vibrate style, intensity, duration and so on?
What I am personally trying to achieve is this:
Instead of having the phone either Vibrate shortly and than ring without vibrating or ring while vibrating continuously at full throttle, I would like my phone to Ring while giving short vibrate bursts every 5 seconds or so. Preferably the intensity of the vibrate could be set for different loudness levels of the ringing.
But I am guessing there is still no way of influencing this, so thx for reading. See you next year ;-)

Wow, that actually might work. I came across these codes before, but explained in much less detail and it sounded like you could only remove or add vibrate, LED flashing etc... not actually program durations and wait times.
I will give it a go. If I got all the options right, this is exactly what I needed.
Thank you very, very much!!!
PS: Damnit, now I see myself changing values, reseting, calling myself, reevaluating, changing values, reseting, calling myself etc etc all through the night lol
EDIT: Ok, falls a bit short of what I wanted to achieve, but still gives me alot more control than before. So still, huge thx.
Unfortunately there still seems no way to influence the intensity of the vibrate and unfortunately once you set the command to play the ringtone, the next command wont be executed until the ringtone finishes. So setting up soft Vibrate, start ringtone, hard vibrate every 5 seconds (as would be my prefered setting) wont work.
Hi guys. I used to have a problem with my LG V10 volume rising from vibrate when at work. I would set it to vibrate in the morning and then randomly around midday, the ringtone would kick back on just to the lowest level. I thought it was an issue with the phone that I had so when I moved to the Note 7, I was looking forward to no longer having to worry about it.
Now my Note 7 is doing the same thing. I lower it to vibrate, and then randomly it pops back up. Now I'm wondering if there is something in Android I need to disable to keep this from happening. It went off today in a meeting with one of my VP's - not a good thing. I need to get to the bottom of this. Please let me know your thoughts!
Thanks!
So I just did a little testing, and when the ringtone is set to vibrate and I get a call and it starts to vibe, if I press any buttons to stop the vibration, it will raise the volume one notch. This seems crazy to me, is anyone else getting this? Tested several times and getting the same thing each time.
at some point of the day i noticed my notification sound no longer working.
I got all the msgs on my notification but with out sound.
turning off and on didnt fix. only the battery pull worked.
it happened like every once a day. some times I have to do battery pull twice a day.
I had this phone for a wk now.
anyone having notification sound issue?
even the turn off screen and on sound muted.
There's a few bugs, nougat is brand new, they'll fix things. My headphone kept buzzing one time until a restart
Its not just you. And I don't think its exactly something to do with Android 7.0
If you look at how your audio menu is when you change the ringer volume, you'll see that when the phone is set to vibrate, it actually MUTES the other two sliders.. it doesn't set them to vibrate. With that in mind, it seems more likely LG has a bug, than Android 7.0 having a bug.
Having this problem as well with my H910 (AT&T). It's very frustrating indeed. What's even worse is that it seems sporadic in nature, sometimes I will get a notification chime, sometimes I won't. As skyedream said, a battery pull is the only way to get consistent notification sounds, if only temporarily.
I think I get this too. Often I pull my phone out of pocket to find I had a text that I never heard.
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had this problem too yesterday where it was just frozen. Did a restart and all seemed ok after. First time that happened.
This happens to me as well. Also, I will get double notification sounds at times. Like an echo. Or, a different sound mixed with my selected sound. A reboot fixes. Have to do it a couple times a day. Very annoying.
No sound for notifications + no web video playback
I also have same issue with notifications. No pattern on what causes this, but a reboot gets rid of this (just for sometime! and the problem is back). I have also noticed apps not working smoothly and unable to play web videos including from Youtube app and Facebook App. Overall, tad disappointed with the software quality on this set.
Phone notification vibrate shuts off all other notification sounds

Good call, thanks! I also notice that even though I have Sound Settings-Volume-Touch & Feedback sounds Off, I still get haptic feedback vibration on keyboard while typing this reply to you. It goes away when I go into Sound Settings-Vibration Strength, & turn slider off for Vibrate on tap. The Settings software isn't connecting the overall Volume Profile with the Vibrate Strength settings it seems. I don't know enough to know whether this is Android or LG. Under Vibrate Strength you can control notifications too, though haven't yet tested. Hope this helps til it gets fixed.

I just tested texting...even though on quick settings slider notifications for text are grayed out, while call setting show vibrate only, in the full settings menu, under Vibrate Strength, you can slide the vibration strength up...I did this, sent myself a text, and phone vibrated the notification. I think it's messed up that I can't shut my call notification off completely, including nvibrate quickly with volume key or quick settings. Have to go into full settings menu sound & select silent. Please fix this Android/LG.

Ya, I have the exact same problem... (I have a H990DS)
I can't seem to even fix it with a reboot.
I have emailed LG about the problem - we'll see what they say...

I experience the same as you. I usually clear regents and then hit restart and all my notification sounds come back and videos. I'm just wondering, are you using any type of ad blocker? I use the ad block browser and I've noticed that whenever I open my browser, that's when my notifications get muted.
Issue resolved after update
Hi, looks like this issue is resolved with the update I got in January 2017 end. But not sure what caused it to fail in first place. But as of now, all is well after the update. Cheers!
I still have this problem over here on T-Mobile. Very annoying.
Anyone ever find a fix? Having these issues on a new LG V20 US Unlocked connected to Verizon.
Bumping this to see if anyone has found a solution to this. My V10 started muting notifications when the ringer volume was set to vibrate on one of its later updates. I figured it was a glitch in my phone since I didn't see anyone else complaining about it. This was one of the reasons i decided to upgrade to a V20. I was pretty surprised that it did the exact same thing and it's apparently by design. Who in their right mind would think this was a good idea?
I'm not sure of the cause, but I had many calendar reminder alarms fail to sound over several days when I got this V20. I tried different calendar apps and ended up with one called aCalendar. It works OK most of the time, but there is still a serious issue. If ANY other kind of notification happens to sound right when a calendar alarm needs to sound, the calendar will NEVER sound its reminder notification for the alarm. I've had this happen several times with incoming text or social networking message notifications. I hear those, and then the subsequent alarm that should have sounded concurrently is silent. I've had to set 2 reminders for the same important event, spaced 10 minutes apart, to try to reduce the odds of this issue hijacking an important notification. I've not seen this exact problem ever before on any Android device. My US Unlocked V20 is 100% stock. No idea what to do about it. But from what I can glean online, neither LG nor Verizon plan to push any future updates on the V20, so we're stuck.
For contact selecting unique notification tones that actually stopped working
I got this LG v20 and I loved it...still do....but... how do I keep certain text notification tones thst i select to not change back to default?...on its own? Crazy. I use zedge ap to download ringtones n notification tones. Maybe there is an issue there?
@Dkb123,
If you could please add some punctuation to your post, it might be easier to read so someone can understand your problem and help you .
I am using a rooted HTC One m10 with Viper ROM and am having the same problem. Echos notification noises, turns off alarm and notification sounds, and it is beyond annoying. I have already had to reset it twice to try to fix it and nothing has worked. I have no idea what is causing it but when I try to open my alarm app it says it was disabled and could have been caused by a system time change (which didnt happen) or battery saving (where I have it whitelisted). I will try disabling my ad-blocker. I'm not sure how those things could be connected but since it was suggested I will give it a go. I am consulting all of the developers I know about this but so far nobody has an answer. I am kind of starting to freak out because I need my phone to work. I have 3 kids under the age of 6 in school and need to know when someone has to get in touch with me. Before the last reset, I also saw that when my notification was disabled and I went back in to reenable it, it had been switched back to the sound I had selected the time before that. One more note. When I go in to check my notification noises, all of them, my ringer, notifications, and alarm, are all blank for about one half second before they repopulate and then show the correct tones. If it were as simple as it being my ROM someone would have posted it on the thread because it is a pretty big problem to have gone unnoticed. Is it possible we are all running an app or have a shared setting that is causing this to happen to only us. I had to dig pretty hard to find this thread in the first place. It might help if we posted a list of our apps, what do you guys think?

Hi. You posted this in the wrong area. This is for the LG V20. Try searching the HTC One M10 area for a solution. Someone there might be able to help you.
