Hey all,
I have a problem with my HTC One (M7) - after the last Android update it started to act funky. By default all my volumes (call, notification etc.) are set to maximum, then I receive a call, phone rings at set volume and after the call, the call volume lowers by itself to less than 1/3 of the original value. I have missed quite a few calls because of this and cant find a solution Has anyone else encountered this? If so, can you provide some info for getting rid of this problem? Thanks in advance
do you have "pocket mode" or "quiet ring on pickup" enabled in the sound settings?
I have pocket mode enabled and quiet ring on pickup disabled - but I dont think that is the case. Because this happens even when my phone is lying on the table display side up or even standing up leaning on books or whatever

HI guys! I have a little problem on my wings: when I'm already on a call and someone calls me, I don't recevive any acoustic alert; I mean, the screen shows me that there is another incoming call but if I have the phone at my ear I can't see the screen. Is there a way to make the phone ring or vibrate or anything else that tells me that there is another call??

Settings=>Phone=>Call Waiting. Make sure "Provide call waiting notifications" is checked and then go into Settings=>Accessibility and change your In-call alert volume to increase the tone.
Thanks. I found out that I had changed too many keys in the registry
Hi,
I have been having this problem for the last couple of days, for some reason the volume of my ringer has dramatically decreased to the point where i can't hear the phone ring when it's in my pocket (wasn't the case before). When i try to play the ring tone (it's a wave file by the way) using the media player the volume is normal and very loud, the same applies to when i play it from the settings->sounds¬ifications the volume on the ring tone is perfect, but when i receive a phone call the ringer volume is cut down by more than half, i checked the ringer volume and it's set to the max, I also did a hard reset then restored my files using the sprint backup but the problem didn't get fixed, I tried using a different ring tones and the same happens. any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are three volume controls: System, Ring and In call Volume.
Have you checked the System Volume?
If you press up on the hard volume key, you'll see arrow on the top right to switch to the next vol control. Check there.

ringtone problem
yea all 3 volumes are set to the max level
ringtone volume problem
the phone has the original stock rom from rogers (canada) hope this helps in any way
Have you got any profile managers installed (G-profile, Phoneweaver etc)?
ringtone volume problem
no i dont have a profile managers installed... so i just noticed that when the phone start ringing and i dont pick up, a second before the phone stops ringing the volume of the ringtone increases to the normal level (then stops ringing), the increase of the ringtone volume happens for like a split second after the caller hangs up and the phone stops ringing. hope this helps in any way. Thank you
Sounds like you have a Ringtone delay problem, there are a couple of solutions.
1. Disable HTC dialer (and use the Winmo one instead), can be done using Advanced Configurator 3.3.
2. Try the CAB I've attached, remember to only use WAV as ringtone though.
I would also recommend adjusting Call Forwarding timing to 30seconds. Settings/Phone/Services/Call Forwarding and get settings.
Disabling the HTC dialer is probably going to be the best solution as the HTC dialer is a hungry resource eating monster but I would just try the CAB and adjusting Call Forwarding time. There are some other REG setting as well but I never found them useful.
Hi guys!
I've been reading and searching this forum for a few days and I can't find anything that is related to the problem I'm having right now with my Galaxy Tab.
As of right now, whenever I receive any phone call on my Tab, it automatically switches to silent mode (crossed speaker icon on notification bar). It drives me crazy as I can't hear the ringtone whenever someone calls me, even though it's not on silent mode at the first place. The weird thing is it automatically switches back to normal mode when the call ended.
I've been missing too many calls because I can't hear it ringing. I already pressed the power button and made sure the phone is not on silent mode, and tried calling the Tab using my home phone, and it switches to silent mode when the call arrives.
Anyone have a solution to this? Please help. I'm on wits end here!
Download audio manager to see what all the different volume levels are set too. Might be something funny going on
I have installed audiomanager and checked that none of the volume levels are zero or set to silent. This is really frustrating.
Is there any way to soft reset the Tab without losing all the installed apps and data?
I have different problem related to silent mode.
When I am in silent mode, all the notification sounds are off but then when I play games, the sound is on. I have to go into setting to set "media voume" to zero manually if i want to play game wihtout sound.
This is kinda inconvient, I suppose silent mode mean silent everything.
It's kind of funny that on a number of the Droid ROM forums people are asking for this as a *feature* to avoid the annoying vibration that incoming messages and other notifications make when on a call.

I have the same problem. All the volume controls are high but ringer don't sound. any idea?
Be sure to check ALL the settings in ALL the settings and apps that pertain to anything that has sound.
This includes all the games, alarm clocks, video recorders, video players, music players, radios, etc. I had a similar problem, and this approach seemed to help.

Any ideas, please share
I have had my Z3c about 6 weeks (US- AT&T) and I really enjoy everything about this phone. However, recently the phone quit ringing audibly when I have an incoming call. When I get a call, the screen comes on and shows that I have a call, the phone vibrates like it always does and the LED flashes bright white. But no sound, no ringtone. Actually - a very quiet ringtone, like through the small phone receiver speaker maybe. All other notifications sound out normally: SMS, email, alarms all work fine. Speakerphone works fine. Only incoming calls have no ring volume. Of course, I have checked the volume settings and have the ringtone & notifications volume slider wide open. I have changed ringtones, adjusted every sound and volume setting on the phone to no effect. I turned 'OK Google' off since I have read that in listening mode, OK Google can impact speaker output. Nothing had any effect. I have searched across the internet and haven't found any answer and no one mentioning this issue with the Z3c.
I did find that the exact same issue happened with the Z1 and Z1c when they got the KitKat update in early 2014 (http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-fix-coming-xperia-kitkat-audio-bug ) but i don't find any resolution discussed so I expect that Sony fixed that with an update.
My next step is a hard reset but I can't do that before the weekend so I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone else has the issue or - better yet - a solution.
One thing I am going to try is the stereo sound mod for the Z2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/z2-stereo-sound-mod-incoming-calls-t2921840 ) if the hard reset doesn't work.
EDIT: 10/30/14 - I continued to try different things with the no-ring-volume issue. I took the time today and did a factory reset including erasing internal storage but that didn't help. In addition to what I described above I found the following:
- on an incoming call, the speakerphone does not work. If I turn on speakerphone, the caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. If I turn off speakerphone, everything is fine (I hear the caller in the earpiece, they hear me).
- I have LED set to off so it should not come on except for charging. But it flashes - fast and bright white - on an incoming call. This may not be part of the issue but I have never seen it flash before on incoming call. Maybe I notice it now since I have been staring at my phone while making dozens of calls to myself from another phone to figure this out.
- External speakers do work fine, I can play music, video, etc. and it all sounds fine.
So...any ideas?
I would try setting it back to a default ringtone. It may be having an issue with the one you are using. This is assuming your issuing a custom ringtone.
CollinsJ - Thanks for the response but I have tried many of the ringtones, including the default. I was actually using the default ringtone when the problem started. I am going to edit the original post to include a few more things I learned today related to this problem.
Maybe it's time to take it in for repair.
I have the same problem with my Z3, did you find a solution for that??
z3 sound
Same here. i downgraded to kitkat, no effect.
on sony forum there is a ton of people with this issue.
I got Z3 dual, incoming ringtone volume is terrible and speakerphone volume is lower than speaker for ear.
I rooted but i found no patch to fix it.
Viper4Android doesnt help
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a Z1 which had similar problem, phone would not ring when there was an incoming call. Tried setting to default ringtone, which didn't work.
The second thing I tried was restart the phone in safe mode, and tested it, and got the incoming call ring. After that I restarted normally and it is now working. Don't exactly know what it did but it works now.
Press volume key up then choose sound. Sometimes it has been set to priority.
It worked for me!

Thank you. I restarted my phone in safe mode, like you said, and all works fine.
I have had my phone 2 years and yesterday it stopped ringing and the alarm doesn't ring either, help please
No ring sound volume on incoming call
hi Lynne rickaby, have you solved the F...k issue with the incoming sound tone?
I have an sony xperia z3+
I bought xperia st26i phone. incoming call appear, can answer, but ringing sounds not comes out. vibration also work. when i play a media file, it plays. but sound not come out. i successfully make the factory setting function also to settle it. but all my effort going vain. how to solve it. please help me
Ive noticed since I got my X on Monday that randomly my notification/ringer won't make any sounds. Even if I have it set to the loudest possible setting. When I choose the volume thru the volume buttons the sound when raising or lowering doesnt always work either. I have all the settings correct to make sounds. Could this be a Lollipop thing, or is it my X? Has anyone else had this happen?
Yeah, it's been happening with my device aswell.. no idea what could be the reason, either the Lollipop update or some conflicts with moto apps perhaps? Wish I could fix it.
Bumping this in case someone finds a solution!
I found that if I use the volume buttons to change volumes it goes silent. So I just adjust the volume in the settings/sound to change volume.
I've noticed that the volume takes a step down in certain apps and situations, for instance: whenever I get a notification from whatsapp with the screen both on/off, the volume is rock solid.. but whenever a notification comes through facebook messenger with screen off, the volume is ABSOLUTELY low; meanwhile, with the screen on the volume is fine with both of them. SMS, Youtube and Email notifications are fine aswell (for now).
EDIT: well, it happens randomly even when ringing from a phone call even after adjusting from the settings and not the volume rockers. Gosh, Moto should fix this one asap.
If we had a LED I wouldn't care. I have to keep turning my screen on to see if I have a text msg
