Phone rings but only once? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have BatRom installed although i don't know if the issue is only related to that. When someone rings me the ringtone only plays once (have tried multiple tones) even though the phone is still ringing albeit with no sound.
Any help appreciated

Wizard doesn't ring, please help

I have a problem: when I put my mda on "loud" the phone doens't make sound when someone calls me. Only the light goes on. In the settings "Ring type" is vibrate and ring, but still no sound. Tried also just ring but nothing happened, only light goes on. Even tried different ringtones, but that's not helping either. I have the WM5SE rom, but don't think that the rom gives me this problem, because I had this on other roms also, like the NBD series. When I first install the rom, everything is working fine, but after a few weeks it starts giving me this problems. I switch a lot between ring and vibrate, could this be the problem? Does anybody please no how to fix this?? Ferreira maybe you have some experience with this? Anyway I hope someone can help me, because I missed a lot of calls because of this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Check your radio version. I think the best is 2.19
And when you said it doesnt ring, does it vibrate (i.e. does the phone knows it has call comming in, and do something to respond to it).. or just a speaker problem?
Try hard reset. If it doesnt work then it may be an issue of headphones slot jam.

I have radio 2.69.11, ring type is "vibrate and ring". It does vibrate, but it doesn't ring. You know what the problem is?

It is probably (as vlodeck mentioned) headphone jack jammed. If thats the case, you should not be having any sound from the phone at all (i.e. no music, no notification sound, no SMS sound). I had this problem before, and I do not want to make this sound dirty, but you can fix the problem by poking it Poke your headphone in and out in and out

headphone works, music works also, even without headphone, so that's not it. I tried flashed radio 2.19.11 T-Mobile NL. No I just have to find someone who can call me to test it. will post the result.
hmm.. that is iiiinnnnnttttteeerreeessstting. from what it seems, chances are probably the ring tone you are using is somewhat, not compatible. Tryign changing it to a default ring tone, WAV, shorter one, that is not in the storage card.

I tried this also, it didn't work. I think I'm going crazy. If I change the ringtone and test it by pressing "play", then it works! But if someone calls me, I can only see that someone is calling, but I hear nothing! And if it's on "vibrate and ring", then it vibrates but doesn't ring! Isn't this crazy??
this may sound crazy, but just to check, is your volumn up? push your volumn slider up? make sure both the volumn controls are up.

I found the problem! thanks to you of course. I did this before but now I no the volume slider is broken. only the right volume was up and the left was all the way down. So that caused the phone not ringing. Anyway, I just have to do this with my finger/stylus in the future, so thank you for your help!
CASE CLOSED.
Its interesting but in WM5 i had all sorts of problems once where my music would not play at all. I had all the volumes turned up and all that and it still wouldnt play, then I turned the volume on Windows Media Player down to 95% and it started playing again, and i turned it back up to 100% and it was fine. Little minor glitch me thinks

ring delay before ring tones: grrrrrrrr

Hi !
Has somebody found some solution to reduce the delay for the ringtones for blackstone ?
I've installed the second cab here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109) as well as write in the registery (av0pw0r), but i can't reduce the delay under (almost) 2 ring tones, eventough i use a *.wma file.
I've also tried to play on HD tweak (1.7 option), but this does not change anything...
This is very annoying me, i've already lost some calls.
I haven"t tried yet a cooked ROM, but i wonder if this would change something
Please help
make sure the ringtone is on the phone and not card. That helped me a lot.
tks for your answer.
But well, i use (for the moment) the "Alarm-Classic.wav" under windows\rings, so i think it's ok from this side
How much delay do u have ?
hi.
using wma ringtones I get a response on my HD in about 1 ring after a soft reset. From the second call on the HD rings at about half a ring to the caller.
three rings from to wake from soft off.
but i forgot to say that if the phone is already "on", the delay is about 1/2 half ringtone, which is acceptable ! .
It seems that the additionnal delay (about 1 sec.) comes from the phone to go from "standby" to "on"
I've always had a delay with every HTC I've had (C500, C600. E650, Touch HD) using standard and custom ROMs with ringtones as WAV's and MP3's on the device and the storage card. I got used to it ages ago and if the phones on my desk can now predict an incoming call before it rings
Hi,
I was also searching for a solution on the ring tone delay issue. Guess that is a winmobile thing.
However there is no delay if you switch off the ring-tone and enable vibration mode only. That is weired behavior of the phone cause why cannot the ring-tone sound as fast as the vibration comes in vibmode only? And why does the vibration comes as late as the ring-tone when in combi-mode?
I am afraid there is no solution so far...
Regs!
this delay is something you'll have to learn to live with, unfortunately. at least in europe people seem to be finding loud and/or dodgy ringtones not very nice, and when dealing with the wiindows mobile vibrate mode is the one to go for.
another suggestion is to set up a caller tune, people are more likely to wait longer when they're listening to music.
ive found i can get it to ring at 1 ring if i turn off caller id pictures on s2u2
Yeah, the operating system does all the checks and clearing up before handling the call to prevent dropping, the way WM handles things, you can't get way from the delay, slowing the CPU with app like a nuedynamicclock worsens it. Well I notice a call before it rings if it is on

All my wm devices have had this issue. My blackstone lights up from sleep a good 2 to 3 sec. before the first ring. I use the old phone ring tone and have four fairly well spaced rings before vm kicks in. I just count the rings as I get to the phone and it has become a non issue. The hd tweek for it seemed not to have an effect btw. Also I'm with t-mo usa and using their code I have my ringtime set to max rings. which is 30 sec. before vm.

No audio after receiving incoming call - only soft-reset re-enables audio

I have this strange problem with my new Touch 2. Everything is fine till I receiver an incoming call but as soon as I receive a call all the audio on the device is "muted". I can't hear anything when I play music with CorePlayer or Windows Media Player and even that sound when changing the volume with the volume keys is "muted". The only strange thing is that I can still hear the ring tone when I get another incoming call but expect of that all other sound is gone after receiving an incoming call.
Once that happens the only way to re-enable the device's audio is to soft-reset it - nothing else works. I really tried everything, putting the device to silent/vibrate and back to loud, plugging and unplugging earphones, trying to listen through earphones ... But expect soft-resting the phone nothing worked so far.
Till I soft-reset the phone all audio is gone both when listening through earphones or the built in speakers.
First I though this might be a problem with calls in general but after some testing I figured that it only occurs when I receive incoming calls. As long as I only do outgoing calls everything is fine.
I had this strange problem with both WWE Europe - 1.28.401.4 and WWE Asia - 1.28.707.3 ROMs so it shouldn't be a problem with the ROM either.
I start to think that this has to be a hardware problem with my phone (which is not even a month old lol) and that I have to re-flash the whole thing to the original German stock ROM and send it back for repair / replacement but I thought I better ask you guys on here first xD
So what do you think?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I figured this out now. I used a WAV file as ringtone and somehow the Mega didn't really like that lol
It seems that the WAV file kinda crashed the entire audio driver or sthg like that anyway I just converted my rintone from WAV to AAC now and with that AAC ringtone everything works fine now
I guess it's a bug in the Mega software cause I used exactly the same WAV ringtone on my old Trinity for more than 1 year without any problems. Probably nobody discovered this problem yet as I think normally no one would use a WAV file as a ringtone.
Anyway my Mega runs perfectly fine with the AAC ringtone now
thx

Is it easy to transfer the type of audio files?

(Very) random sound problem.

Hey guys, not too sure if this is just my own problem or a general Hero/custom rom problem but Googling and searching has found nothing but the Alarm volume problem..
Basically, on all custom roms I have tried baring any 1.5 roms, it seems after I have made/received a call the phone wont output any sound at all or use the mic. An example of this is I get a call, it goes fine. Ringtone plays, can hear the other person perfectly and they can hear me. I hang up and about 20 minutes later I have a missed call as it never rang. I ring back and hear no dial tones but get the little vibration to notify me they have picked up. From there they cant hear me talk and cant hear them talk. :s
The camera, wifi, 3G, etc etc all still work but there is no sound going in or coming out of the phone.
It also seems to happen if I have a low battery. As to why this is happening, again I have no idea.
I thought i'd ask here as it seems the best place to ask.
Dave.

MP3 Ringtone Problem

I'm having a problem with MP3 ringtones and I hope you guys can shed some light on this.
When I go to work, I set my phone on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' - however, the second a phone call arrives, the phone starts ringing as though I'd never set it to 'Silent' or 'Vibrate'. It's completely reproducible - set to silent, call self, hear ringtone.
The issue goes away if I use an included ringtone like the T-Jingle - phone stays on 'Silent' or 'Vibrate' exactly as expected.
Is anyone else having this issue? No custom firmwares here, just the stock T-Mobile image.
