Phone volume turns off w/ vibraswitch - any alternatives?

I've searched around and haven't had much luck. I use vibraswitch mapped to my PTT button to switch between vibrate and sound, but sometimes (especially when I'm on the phone and use it), the phone will volume will turn off (speaker w/ x, not on and not vibrate) instead of either switching the volume on or to vibrate. I've missed some calls because of this.
Somebody in a post here said that if you hold down the button u mapped it to for a second it will do this, but this doesn't seem to be the case. If this has been answered before I'm sorry, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction!

The only thing about this program is that the phone doesn't vibrate when you toggle between the settings. I change the volume in my pocket a lot so I rely on the vibrates to let me know when I switch.

vibrate turns off w/out reason?

the only change i've made to my tilt as of recent was that i added kaiser tweak. however, i've looked thru the xml & cant find anything that'd warrant my profile changing from vibrate to ring w/out myself doing so. I've been watching it for about 2 weeks now trying to discern the action i am taking to cause the change but can't put my finger on it.
so i apologize i'd liked to have known the origin for the change to give you more info. but this is basically all i know.
i typically keep my ringer on vibrate. for some reason it changes to the ring profile automatically and periodically throughout the day. the only change i've made prior to this issue is adding kaiser tweak and a trial for contra, however that has since been removed. oh, sorry, i did add phm regedit to the phone also, the only registry i changed was the PTT registry fix to add button 6, i changed them to voice dial and voice recorder for long & short push respectively.
pls help. thanks. stan

I never had this problem before I upgraded to AT&T's 6.1 ROM. They added the PTT button to be remapped, but single push only. I did the registry change to remap a push and hold to Vibra Switch.
The problem I have is my phone keeps going to silent. I have to tap the volume control on the top of the screen to change it back. I can't confirm this, but it seems to happen when use SPB Shell's Now Screen phone profile to change to vibrate, but does not happen if I push and hold the PTT button and use Vibra Switch.

Do you use a Bluetooth headset?

then it's prolly by my having done the reg edit to add the ptt button for long & short press...makes sense...but i wonder why? i cant say that it has to do w/ when i push it either, bcuz by doing it it doesnt force it to change to ring from vibrate. but i dont use spb tho either.
edit: oh yeah...i do use a BT headset, but its sporadically used & not correlated to the automatic volume changes.

same issues
I am having problems as well with my sound options after i upgraded to 6.1. I have not made any modifications to the phone except for the 6.1 upgrade. It is also having the problem with the backlight turning on for a second every now and again.....

I have the same problem after using my bt headset. It goes to silent.

Any update on this issue? I just upgraded my Tilt to 6.1 and I notice that it will automatically turn the ringer off and I have to manually select the automatic ring profile again

How do I remove the vibration when turning vibration ON?

Every single time I want to use the phone in vibrate only I enable that and get an annoying vibration. Isn't there a way to turn ON vibration without having my Diamond to vibrate once and then shut up?
Thanks!

Anyone have an idea about this? It annoys the hell out of me
thank you!

I don't have this problem but it sounds like it could be caused by the HTC volume control. You could use the standard WM volume control instead, or use some sort of profile switcher to set the phone to vibrate mode.

Davey:
Are you saying that when you enable vibration mode your phone does not vibrate once just after vibration mode is turned on?

That's right. What method are you using to turn on vibration? The volume down button?

Hes not using the hardware volume buttons.
My phone does the same thing, what Davey is saying is that he uses the Windows Mobile program to switch his phone to vibrate.
I don't get how this is such a problem though...

Which program do you mean - the one in the settings tab in TF3D? I don't use TF3D or the HTC volume control and I don't have this behavior, ever.
My point is that there are plenty of other programs that are capable of switching vibrate on and off, the OP should look for one of those or write something in Mortscript.

I use the sound settings tab within TF3D mostly but I also hold down the bottom right button on the phone to enable vibration mode.
Can you give me a link to a better program for this?And can you simply disable the HTC volume controller?
Thanks for your time!

I use SPB Phone Suite to switch profiles automatically at night and during office hours. It's a great little program but it's not free and it's a lot more converient when you're not using TF3D so you can use the today plugin. I'm sure there are free alternatives here for the Diamond.
Please see this thread for disabling the HTC Volume Control:

Transferring a call from BT headset to handset

Maybe I'm as thick as an X1?
Is there a way to transfer a call from the BT headset to the handset while in the middle of it? I can't work out how to do it.
I see nothing on the phone while mid call, and my old SE headset only has 3 buttons. 1 - Answer / Hang-up, 2 - Vol Up, 3 - Vol Down.

Yes, press the menu button and you'll see the option to transfer to handset.

I am missing the option to transfer the call to speaker from BT headset. Anyone who knows how to do that?

Thank you! Told you I was thick. And I can transfer it back again (I have the HW button mapped to MSVC and have never pressed the menu button before )

Is your phone branded? Which firmware version or ROM are you running?

The option you're looking for when you're in the call and you press the menu button is called, "Turn handsfree off"

I've never used WC's ROM so don't know if you'll have that option in the menu when in a call.

That ROM uses the default SE dialer. I have not found this option in the SE stock ROMS either.
So when using BT headset, there is no easy way to switch from BT headset to speakerphone that I have found.

Question Dnd mode - notifications won't turn on screen

Hello,
I have latest Xiaomi.eu rom and when I activate do not disturb mode, the screen won't wake up neither on incoming calls or any notifications.
Does anybody have the same issues, how can I fix it, please?

That's what you want and for! No disturbances.
You can set calls to come through if in your favs or if it is a repeated call for example. For me and is exactly as it should be

Maybe I don't have to use Dnd mode, but I want to use phone in three modes. Ringing+vibrations, vibrations only and no ringing and no vibrations, but with screen awake. So how can I set up the third without still having to go to the menu for turning the vibrations on/off for silence mode?
Thank you

Can you not just use pull down menu and turn off sound and vibration when you want silence? Saves going in to menu each time.
