I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!
You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.
This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!
Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.
I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.
Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.
Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...
I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.
Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!

Hi All,
With WM2003SE i have a lil bit uncomfortable thing. After period of time (approx 1 minute) an incoming call becoming a missed call, if i haven't answer the call.
Now I use WM5 (helmi 1.32), but I still found that such things. Does anyone know how to change/set incoming call behavior in WM5?
Means that..the ring still sounding (unlimited - like handphone) till the caller put off their call.
Best Regards,
Dave
you should change it in the sounds/notifications

Yeah, but how...
I did it, but it doesn't change anything. Have you try and ever trace this weird behavior..?? I've try with .wav, .mid and .mp3 ringtone type. But it still do the same things..after a period of time, the ring will stop and the caller will get busy line or unreachable destination
somone (sry i cant remeber who) in the forum posted this in a diff topic
Delayed ring - Workaround
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can increase the time it takes for voicemail to pick up. I set mine to max 30 secs and I haven't missed a call I've heard. My phone seems to ring after 2-3 rings on the other end. This may not work for every carrier. I'm on Cingular in the U.S.
Step 1. Key in the following into your phone *#61# then press the call/send button. This will return a telephone number and the current delay time before voice mail kicks in .
Step 2. Write it down.
Step 3. If you wanted, say, 30 seconds, before the Voice mail activated, then you would put 30 where the nn is in the following string and the telephone number from step 2 where the xxxxxxxx is.
Key in **61*xxxxxxxxx*11*nn# followed by the call/send button and it should update the delay.
For example, it would look like this **61*xxxxxxxxxxx*11*30#
If your phone reports the delay time, you can check by following step 1 again.

I've got a wav recording of my baby laughing as my SMS incoming message sound which is around 10seconds long.
In my old sony ericsson phone (ordinary phones), whenever I receive a message, I just press any button and it stops the sound. I love the longer sound but on certain occassions, like in my office, I would like to turn off the sound using a single button.
With the Kaiser, I tried to press all buttons but it can't be silenced right away. It has to play the recording until the end. My option is to go to the HTC home plugin / audio, then set it to silent mode, which may take a little longer, or I just try to cover the speaker with my hand. biggrin.gif
Would you know of any shortcuts to stopping the sound?
Thanks.
Have you tried moving the wheel on the left down-wards?
Thats what I do when my phone "rings" when someone calls... just knock the wheel down and it silences it
tried it, didn't work.
thanks..
Same here. I chose a song as my incoming SMS that was 3 minutes long. I had to go to the notification settings page to silence it.
Any help would be appreciated.
As the guy above said, scroll the wheel down a turn or two. That silences incoming call alerts.
(And a 3 minute song as a ringtone is not the best idea. Edit it down to 20 seconds)

That didn't work for me with SMS. I scrolled down, up and hit every button on the device and it still wouldn't work. I edited down to about 10 seconds. That's well long enough for an SMS.
same problem
I’ve the same problem with my tytn.....if I don’t have a long sound I don’t see a new sms or mms even if sometimes the short sound it’s better!
also I’ve tried all buttons but they wouldn't work!
So...if don’t have any hardware solution…could I have some chance for a software solution?
How about just leaving you phone on vibrate when at work instead of disturbing everyone around you
Easy solution to you problem and your coworkers will probably thank you for it...
Or you know, using Audacity to pare down the length of the sound file?
thx for the answers....
i work in a lonely room...and the song volume isn't a problem...but i leave the phone everywhere...so i would like to stop the music sound when i've find the phone and i've read the new message!
Hi all,
Running my Orange UK (unlocked and on T-mobile) with Duttys 6.1 ROM and radio 1.64.08.21 and seem to have an issue when answering incoming calls.
I'm sure I've seen this reported elsewhere but can't find it for the life of me now!
When I recieve an incoming call and press the green answer button, there is about a 2 second delay before the call is connected. If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call. Seems to be a second of ringing on the calling handset before it starts ringing on the TYTN 2 as well.
Can someone confirm that I have seen this reported elsewhere and post a link or suggest if this is a ROM issue, radio issue or general Kaiser issue?
Only kept the orange rom for about 48 hours and went straight to Duttys so cant really recall if it happened on the orange rom.
Many thanks guys!
Not exactly the same problem, but I have a similar issue on my Tilt with my bluetooth headset. I press the headset button to answer and don't hear anything for about 1.5 seconds. Usually, the person calling is saying "hello? hello?" by the time I actually get connected.
The headset (Plantronics 510) works great for everything else.
Have you tried the following. I've seen this help some people including myself.
Start > Settings > Phone > Services Tab .. Highlight Call Forwarding and hit Get Settings ..
Forward phone calls only if: Forward After: there is a drop down box that some providers allow you to set the time before the call goes to viocemail. (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 seconds) .. I think default was 20 on my phone/provider.
If your network provider doesn't allow changes from your phone you might have to call their customer service and request they manually change the network settings for you.
Same problem here as well! Same Rom (Dutty's), same network (Orange).
And I've only flashed last week and was on the standard Orange Rom before and there wasn't a delay. Any help is appreciated as this is a right pain.
I've changed to 30 seconds before diverting to the answerphone - so thanks for that response at least.

Had no idea that screen was there... Thanks! I've changed my call forward to 25 seconds, 'cause I had always felt it was going to vms too quickly.

I had this issue myself with Dutty's V4 RTM (WM 6.0) rom. Pressing the Green button would result in a 2 second delay in being able to answer the phone, but if I used the left soft key to answer, there was no delay.
Same problem here. T-Mobile vanilla ROM. Can take up to 5 seconds for the call to reach my earpiece.
Solved it!
I had seen elsewhere that turning off the kepad sounds and turning off smart dialing could help, but I can't find a smart dialing option in the phone options.
Just tried switching the the Windows dialler rather than HTC and turning off auto Audio record on the Resco recorder which I had forgotten about.
After bit of playing, it appears (quite obviously now) to be the Audio recorder!
Used to use this on my wizard without any notable problems, but seems to be an issue on the Kaiser. It answers and hangs up in an instant now
A bit specific, but if any of you guys have this kind of thing installled and configured, try turning it off?!
Thanks for the replies and suggestions and hope you get it sorted too!
I don't have Resco audio installed and it only happens occasionally but when it does it usually happens a few times in a row.
Sometimes I also get the ringtone coming through the BT headset while the kaiser sputters into life. Then a 2 second delay
before the BT headset beeps and the caller can hear me.
Occasionally, I can hear the caller at the same time as I can hear the ringtone. Just another 'feature' I guess.
"If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call"
There's usually a few seconds delay between 'hearing' the other phone ring and it actually ringing. Can be up to 5 seconds.
some default ring tones are timed 3+ seconds apart. Choose the wrong ring tone and ring tone type (increasing volume) and
it's possible to miss the first 2 rings which, if the answer after x seconds delay is set to 20 seconds gives someone about
5 seconds to answer the phone or miss the call. My GF suffered 'missed call syndrome' after fiddling with her Hermes.
You can adjust the voice mail answer after x seconds time in start/settings/phone/services/call forwarding/get settings
Forward calls only if [no answer should be ticked]
Drop down menu Forward after ..
Mine is set to 30 seconds.
My ringtone goes from loud to soft then loud and back to soft again in maybe 1-2 seconds interval when there's an incoming call, which is kinda annoying. Anyone else has this problem? is there anyway to fix it? it's not set to increasing ringing and i know its not a sound file problem cos when i play it it's fine, it's just when set to ringtone this problem came up.
much appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this
Do you have Microsoft voice command installed? If so, disable the incoming call announcement. It doesn't work, they wont fix it but it tries to announce. It drops the ring tone volume when it's supposed to be announcing the caller.
Bingo, that fixed it, thanks a lot! but i've got another question then, if i do want voice command to announce the caller, do i disable my ringtone then? Or it doesn't actually work at all? I've read somewhere rather vaguely that it doesn't work on the X1 but on others like the samsung onmia it works, is that true?
(man i love this phone but heck these little things just keep on testing me)
I bounced my way around a few of the threads discussing it and couldn't get it to work on mine.
Tried different cabs etc. I did find the .wav file MSVC created in //volatile and I could play it manually and it had the callers name constructed correctly etc, MSVC just wouldn't play it. Create the file, drop the volume, wont play it
There seems to be an issue where my phone takes between 5-10 seconds to wake up and ring (coming from sleep). The person calling me still gets the ringing tone there end, so it looks like there is an issue with my phone/ROM
Has anyone else had issues with this and is there a way to resolve it.
Mine doesn't take that long, but it does have a delay, I watched the display light up upon a call, then the ring is real muted after a second or two, then the ring is normal volume. I haven't noticed if its connected to the custom ringtones being slower or not, I did try moving my custom ringtone folder from the SD card to the phone's memory, that didn't seem to make a difference. Still a pronounced delay. I just did the ICS OTA, but that hasn't changed the delay, GB or ICS, same result.
You aren't alone.
I like the delay
I like the 1- 2 second delay in ringing .... in a meeting or a quiet place i can quickly answer before disturbing others..
with this i don't have to go to silent mode unless absolutely necessary
