i updated to wm5 a few months back and have not had any problems. just recently my phone ringer would not sound. the vibrate feature does still work if i turn it on. i tried a soft reset and had no success. i went into the phone options where you can change your ring tone/style. when i tried to play the ring sample i got an error message that said "this ring tone file is corrupted or unavailable. please choose a different ring tone" all the ring tones give the same error message. any one know what i can do??
I had that problem so I thought right time for my first step to upgrading so i flashed a new ROM to it and that fixed it good and proper also made my BA run better in general so I would do that. Unless your a tech wizz in which case there may be another way
same here too
its true, it happened to me as im typing. i have no idea why thus im flashing a new rom again
damn, i was hoping you all would not say that. i am not too keen with all this ROM flashing stuff. it took me about 2 months to figure out how to upgrade my 2003 to wm2005. that was over a month ago and i pretty much dumped my brain of how i did it. any recommendations on a good ROM to use and a quick link to the process again. thanks guys
yea the banzieck one or the helmi is good i think the wiki shows you how to do it if not there are loads of posts on how to do it real easy i promise
i guess i got lucky. i accidentally dropped my phone this morning and the battery came off. in any event, ever since then the ringer has been working. i wont ask questions, but i will repost if it goes out again.

This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Not sure if it works yet, but good luck to others!

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:

hello xda, ive posted a previous msg about this issue b4, along with others who have the same problem. ive done searches on here and have found that the issues have to do with some version of OPERA. my issue on the other hand is i dont use opera i use SKYFIRE. Does Skyfire use some sort of OPERA? ok now to my issue, (back when i first got my tilt, i had att oem rom 6.1) i now have duttys 6.1. after about a week after i first got the phone, ive been having problems with the phone notifying me of a new msg after about 5-6 sms. ive also noticed that when it fails to notify me, the alarm fails to sound as well. only after a soft reset does it fix its self, until another 5-6 msgs. ive also done the enable/disable threaded msg cab and it doesnt work, both cabs try to disable it. the programs that are installed are. A_C S2U2, bejeweled 2, boz quick menu, s2u2c, phm reg edit, skyfire browser, spb backup, and tilt keyboard fix for cooked roms. <-THESE ARE ONES IVE ADDED, if you need to know all thats one there that was cooked in, please pm me. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. im gettin tired of this issue. att no longer carrys the phone for a insurance claim and im not sending it to HTC and being without a phone. im starting to think its more of a hardware issue than a software issue, if flashing it doesnt solve the problem. Thanx in advanced and sorry for such a long post. also b4 anyone says anything, everything is still checked to sound and vibrate under notifications and sounds.
John
One option you could try is to disable then re-enable the sounds.
Are you sure theat the phone is not temporarily muting the sounds. You could try manually switching the sound off on the volume icon next to the top right X and then re-enabling it.
Have you tried the hard reset?
That will determin if it's hardware or not.
to gilligan8
yes i have done the hard reset several times and it also does it with every rom i flash to the phone
to Elwyn M3100
thanks for the fast reply. no i havent switched the phone volumn to off and then back on. next time it messes up i will do that be i soft reset. if it is muting its self what could this mean the issue is?
But it doesn't do it till you flash it with a rom?
not a flashed rom issue
I have had this problem from about a week after getting my phone. I had this issue with the att oem 6.1 rom after I noticed the problem I contactecd att for a replacement, only to find that they have disscontinued it. id had to trade in the phone for something diff, cuz I love everything about this phone except my sms issuse. trust me I've searched and searched hard about how to fix this and have had quite a few good solutions, but nothin seems to work. I believe this is a hardware issue and not software. I just hope someone has the same issue that I do and nows how to fix it. thank you all for ur help
Being a computer guy this really doesn't sound like hardware... why would a hardware failure be so consistent? 5-6 times then soft start brings it back.
i do believe it is hardware related because i still have the problem even when i reflash to a new diff rom. after i receive anywhere from 5 to 6 msgs it then fails to sound on the following msg. the only way i can get it to resound is to perform a soft reset.
I had exactly the same problem and realised it was just the radio needed changing.
what radio are u running? i have 1.65.14.06 i also had this same issue with the stock att rom and radio
Okay, so i already asked this int the topic like 5 times and got ignored each time. Same thing that always happens when i actually have a problem.
This rom was working perfectly for about 2-3 weeks when all of a sudden i don't get any notification sounds and sometimes no sound from the calls either.
Notification sounds don't work anywhere in the whole phone in any app.
if i go to pick the sound, it plays it just fine, and when i reboot it'll work for about 5 minutes. Then nothing will ever play a notification sound. I've tried switching to the built in sounds with no such luck. Nothing has been able to fix this.
all i want is a very simple answer. Is there anyway to fix this, or should i go wipe and reflash the phone which i'd much rather not do
I'm afraid the only answer I can provide is wipe and reflash. But before you do that, have you searched in the JACxHERO rom thread? If there isn't an answer there try asking in that thread.
yeah i tried searching and asked 5 times, got ignored each time so basically just decided to ask here.
Really wish there was a herorom with no issues (other than bluetooth+leds, i can live without that)
I hope someone can help me with this before I go stark, raving mad.
I tried to search for this problem but it's hard to know just what to search for. I don't think this is Raphael specific but was unable to find a general software forum.
When an alarm or reminder goes off on my Fuze, I don't (usually) get the normal popup dialog. To get it, I need to tap on two tiny icons, which is a major pain. I've been fighting this for months. I've tried a hard reset followed by installing my software a programs one at a time with an alarm test after each install. I've tried restoring several old backups. I've still been unsuccessful in tracking it down.
After a hard reset, it works like it's supposed to, but as I continue to install software and use the device, it eventually stops working.
Can anyone give me a hint as to where I might be able to begin looking?
Thank you in advance!
Not a single reply. :-( Am I really the only person who has experienced this?
I've been fighting with this problem for literally months. I just recently went through several hard resets and restores, trying to find some specific application or condition that causes the problem. It started happening again a couple of days ago, and I'm absolutely sure that this time I had not installed any new applications. The only change from the time that reminders were working properly to the time that they stopped working was that I had downloaded some applications data (email, etc.).
If anybody has any ideas at all, I will be forever indebted.
Thanks,
Keith
I have the same problem, I think. I will go into my settings and tell it to give me pop ups for new SMS, MMS, notifications/reminders, and then they stop happening and I go back into settings and have to recheck the boxes. I'm not sure what's causing them to quit though. I just flashed a cooked ROM to my phone, but I don't like it so I'm trying to find something new. The problem was on the factory ROM that came with my phone.
I have the same issue, im using the ROMeOS 6.5 ROM and i dont get notification too...
gonna try and fiddle around the advanced config app
I live in the UK and have samsung galaxy s - am with orange network.
This weird behavior on my phone started about 2-3 weeks ago.
while talking on the phone, the phone goes onto mute mode. but its not really mute. We just cant hear each other. hope that made sense.
if i hang up and try to make the call again, it does the same thing .. straight onto mute. or if the other person tries to ring back, same thing, phones connect but cant hear each other.
This happened quite alot and iit also happened when i got a text message etc
I've been getting ads on my phone and also being charged for content upload. nothing that I know of or subscribed too.
I thought my phone was just 'clogged' up so I decided to set it back to factory settings.
Its been working fine but again today, after half n hour, it did the same thing. I can send text messages fine. Its an improvement because before it happened about 10 mins into the call. But then again I've not used my phone alot.
does anybody know why? please help!
ohh - my firmware is 2.1. i cant get kies to work on any of the computers so i can update
I don't know a solution to your problem but would say one thing.. if you are still on 2.1, you are missing a lot of stuff.. the performance improvements in 2.2 and 2.3 are just huge..
If you can't get kies to connect, then download your region's rom manually from sammobile.com and flash using odin.. you'll get the newest firmware and as it'll be a completely fresh install, maybe your problem will also go away..
^ Thank you .. but I still dont understand ROM and stuff .. I need to research it first befre I attempt upgrading my phone.
Is there a tutorial on this site (step by step lol)
Is there anyone else that knows whyI'm having the problem? It happened againt today right when i called because I was 'charging' my phone as i made the call. I think thats how the issue started originally. I was charging my phone in the car and decided to call my sister.
Did I short circuit something
There is a very in-depth sticky by darkstriker. Should tell you all you need to know about flashing.
Go to general and read the sticky thread.
If you've got questions after reading it, post them here mate.
I'm on orange UK too.
