Yeah that's a bug in the leaked version of ICS and roms based on that. You can go ahead to play store (android market) and install this app - volume ace - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsIml0LmJyYWluY3Jhc2gudm9sdW1lYWNlZnJlZSJd
And in its profile just put the phone in ringing and vibration mode. Now the phone will ring and vibrate simultaneously!!
Hit thanks if it helped!

It didn't help,
the program only let's you control the audio power,
the only thing about vibration the program has is the option to put the phone on silent&vibration mode.
thanks anyway..

It works. Check the attached screenshot. Enable the options highlighted and just restart the phone and restart the volume ace and see if the options you selected are still showing as selected (doesn't get revert to default). Now whenever a call comes the phone will ring and vibrate

It helped !
where do I hit thanks? I cant find it..

Oh..
It worked.. You win 1 thanks and 4 internets!!!

Glad it worked for you both !!
Enjoy your Note
Cheers!!

Still no vibration
Hi,
your solution did not work for me. Can anyone help me, I miss about half of my calls because of this..
I am running on Rocketrom with Hydracore kernel.
Thanks

have you tried a different kernel?

Still not working

Yes, I have, I was on Abyss kernel before switching to Hydracore. I did not work back then either.
I got results when doing:
echo 1000 > /sys/.../vibrator/enable
Otherwise, nothing.
Can anyone upload the symlinker function, ortell me where to get it ? If I can find out what is being called py apps when trying to vibrate, I may symlink it to beforementioned /sys/.../vibrator/enable.
Regards from Switzerland

vibration dont work
I just install this ROM : Ultimate_N7000_LSC_JB_4.1.2_v5.1 , and vibration dont work at all.
Any suggestion ????

[Q] Faulty mute toggle?

Hi everyone
Re-posting this from the general section (posted on there by mistake, was still half asleep lol, sorry)
Just got the xperia z yesterday (after my previous lg 4x was stolen... grrr... may the thief get permanent bursting hemorroids...) and I noticed a weird thing.
The mute/vibrate/sound toggle in the notification bar does not seem to work, and the same goes for the one in the popup shown by pressing the power button for a couple seconds.
Details: the mute or vibrate icon appears on the notification bar, but if I check the volumes in settings, they're still all on, and if I receive a call or get a notification or whatever, the phone actually rings despite the supposedly muted state.
All this doesn't happen if I "manually" turn the volume off with the volume buttons or via settings: in that case the vibrate icon appears and the phone actually does not ring.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

All good here dude. Hope you get it fixed. Have you tried turning phone off and on again? That usualy fixes small.glitches.

Yep, already tried that of course, as well as uninstalling the one widget I have that interacts with volumes, just to be sure it was not some weird conflict (and of course it wasn't)
Not a biggie actually, as I can turn it down manually or by said widget, but I hope I'll figure it out anyway if only for the sake of understanding the source of the issue

Yep I understand that. Annoys me when I cant get something working lile its ment to.

I have a problem with the toggle in the notification bar and the power off menu. System settings show me notifications and ringtones are off, but the phone still has audible, unmuted notification sounds. Really annoying.

Yep, that's the same exact issue I'm having

I guess we have to wait for a software update.

Actually, I could try a factory reset just to be sure, but I admit I'm kind of too lazy to set my stuff up again from scratch only to try and fix that small glitch

Heard about it, but haven't read the whole thing yet (yep, still being lazy)
Jokes apart, I was planning to leave it 100% stock for at least a little while to see how the battery behaves without even the slightest piece of modding (got the phone only last friday, today has been the first real "field test" for the battery and so far I'm pretty positively impressed)

Well I have already removes/frozen a bucketload of apps happy bunny, I am. Now I only need to figure out which app does what so I don't kill something and make my phone less usable.

lol I removed a few apps too, but luckily for me they were uninstallable without root or anything.
I also disabled a few more through the stock apps management, for the time being it's sufficient for my taste

Same irritating automatic toggling action going on

Yes, having the same problem as well with mine. But it has been the same problem since I had ICS on my Xperia Arc S, then Xperia V and now this when I use the toggle in the notification bar or any other toggle aside from toggling it manually via setting. Very irritating since it has never and probably will never be fixed due to the fact that it's a cross-model issue. Chances are, those who say they don't have this problem already has it but don't know it yet or will get it eventually. Sony needs to iron this out once and for all

Bluetooth audio switches to internal speaker on unlock

The Setup
Moto X (2013)
Android 4.4.4 (unrooted)
Network: Republic Wireless
The Story
It all started a couple of days ago, I lost my phone while at work, I logged onto the Motorola website, remote locked the phone, remotely left a message on the phone with my contact info, and then I made the phone ring remotely to bring it to attention of passers nearby. Shortly after I recovered my phone, I went to the settings and unlocked the phone as that is my prefered setting.
The Problem
Since I got the phone back I've noticed a problem with bluetooth and headphone audio and unusual behavior when unlocking the phone. 1st, when I unlock the phone it makes a noise, and it is the same sound that is used to indicate volume level when you raise or lower volume with the volume buttons, it no longer makes the "click" sound upon unlock. 2nd, whenever I listen to music, via bluetooth or headphones, and if i unlock the phone the audio switches over to the phones internal speakers, but the phone still thinks it is playing audio out of the bluetooth speaker or headphone. In order to get back on the bluetooth speaker I have to dissconect from the speaker and reconnect and for headphones I just to unplug and plug back in.
What I have tried
I have tried turning on and off my phone, Unpairing and reparing my device. I tried to go into my settings, find the bluetooth app and wipe the memory and disable and enable the app, but I could not successfully do that. Searched google and XDA for an answers but I can not find any results that I think resemble my problem. Please help oh great wise and powerful 1337 lords.
Edit* Something else I forgot to mention, another problem is now my phone will not stay in silent or vibrate, I can put it in those modes but as soon as I unlock it, the volume comes back on.

Try Settings > Sounds > Screen Lock Sound.
See if that is checked, or unchecked, toggle a few times and see if that helps?

It seems like something with the Moto Remote services might be interfering. Did you try going in and disabling the stuff on the website? Or disable to Moto app as an administrator in the settings so it stops overriding things? Seems like things are stuck in whatever the Moto app is trying to do if it thinks it's still lost?

The moto remote services theory has been in the back of my mind, I'll have to explore the website to see if there is an option to disable or reset the service. As far as disabling the moto app as an admin, is there something special I have to do in order the disable apps as in admin? I was under the impression that anything I did on my phone was done as an admin.

In Settings > Security > Device Administrators there should be a list of apps that are activated as admins. Try turning the Moto one off. Might be called Local Wipe Policy maybe?

Problem solved
So I was able to fix the problem!!!
What I did was log onto the motorola website used to track my phone. I made the phone ring ring from the website tracker. After I unlock the phone, I noticed that my phone stopped making the volume adjustment noise upon unlock. My phone is now properly playing bluetooth and headphone audio with out issue now. Thanks for suggesting that I go to the motorola website!

Please help me with random/annoying notification sound

A few months ago I started getting a random alarm/notification sound (like 2 seconds long, really loud) with no notification shown at all (screen off). Everyday at the same time. Exactly 10:02 in the morning. It's specially annoying since the phone makes the sound even with Not Disturb on.
I thought maybe the Android 10 update would solve this issue. Nope.
Things I've noticed/tried:
1) The sound isn't part of the clock alarm list of alarm tones.
2) I've already done a full factory reset, manually re-installed all my apps. Still there.
3) If my device is in Airplane Mode, the sound isn't there: as soon as I turn off airplane mode and I get internet connection again, the device makes the sound.
4) I've tried looking at recent notifications (system notifications included) through settings. Nothing.
I attach screenshots of all my downloaded apps:

I'm desperate. Please help.

Maybe a ****y Tasker or AutoNotification setting/profile ? Look at those two apps,, it can be a bad in-app setting or an error in a Tasker profile/task. If you don't find anything suspicious over there, I would suggest you to uninstall Tasker and its related plugins like AutoNotification and see if the sound still play at 10:02...
But this airplane mode condition to let the sound play is strange coz it mean it's internet/cellular connection related ?

Nothing strange in both of those apps. Autonotification is actually disabled and I just use Tasker for some Bluetooth/Wi-Fi near interactions.
It is indeed very strange. Thanks.

Was able to record sound. Anyone recognizes it?

Instagram?

Does anyone recognize this fu***** sound?! Desperate.

Hi dude,
Try to reboot into safe mode (it disables all user apps on boot) at 10:00 and wait until 10:02 to see if the sound still play anyway. If it does, then it system related, and none of your apps is responsible of this annoying sound. But if it doesn't play, that mean thé soins is due to one of your downloaded apps (user apps) from play store or galaxy store.
I hope this trick will help you to solve this issue.
Greetings

Yesterday I disabled quite a few of Samsung push services in settings and plus I uninstalled Autonotification (which was disabled anyway). Guess what. I didn't get the sound today! I don't want to claim victory just yet though... Will report tomorrow if it comes back.
Thanks a lot!
