Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the TYTN II. I put it to vibration using the HTC home ant it is OK, vibrating when somebody calls. Then suddenly, without me changing anything, it starts ringing as if I changed it to "Normal" profile. When I look at the HTC home I see it still has the "Vibrate" profile selected. I have to press on the "Vibrate" again to make it go to vibration again.
This strange thing happens randomly (or at least I cannot find what causes it), sometimes when I have used the phone, and sometimes even when I haven't.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.

Have you gone to Settings>Phone and set the Ring type to "vibrate and ring"?
You can also use Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications and set "Phone: Incoming call" to "Vibrate and ring"
Hope this helps
Yes, I have all the settings. I change between the "Vibrate" and "Normal" profiles when I am in meetings (vibrate only) or generally (normal, ring + vibrate). The problem is that when I set the vibrate profile, the phone automatically rings sometimes, with sound, which I don't want in a meeting.
reminders?
This problem has just started to appear on my Kaiser. It seems to show up after a reminder appears. I have turned off all sounds and reminders except calendar reminders but vibrate still gets changed to ringing. I have also used Kaiser Tweak to change the defaults.
I don't what triggered this but it seemed to start when I uninstalled FlexMail 4 and then installed Flexmail 2007 but that may be coincidence.
A real problem in meetings or in a hearing where an official can really get upset over a ringing phone.
I still don't have a solution. I don't use FlexMail (any version) so I don't think this is the problem. It could be the calendar but I have not found any connection yet.
Work around
This is by no means perfect but it will prevent embarassing moments. Try recording a "silent" ring tone and using that for your ringer. Then all you miss are phone calls. They, of course, go to voice mail.
I had a similar issue, however it was in reverse, by once choosing the automatic profile in the HTC home.
Basically the automatic feature remains active after selecting it once, so after the reminder, even if it doesn't have time if your next block of time happens to be "free" it will revert it back to ringing.
Unfortunately I never found a solution and now have a new Kaiser, which I have avoided selecting it since getting the phone.
bluetooth too
Yesterday while on a call using a handsfree bluetooth device, a calendar reminder popped up and my bluetooth connection was dropped simultaneously. The call was not dropped and I was able to turn on the handfree connection again using the menu.
Which has led me to search for these type of problems. I found a thread that addresses a way to turn off push mail notifications. I understand the same "fix" works with calendar notifications.

Here is a thread on notifications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330872
I am now sure that the problem is connected with the calendar. It appears when I make some changes in an event (not always but in about 90% of the cases). I am synchronizing with Outlook and I think the problem appears when I change an event that was already synchronized. By "changing" I mean even dismissing the alarm when it goes off.
Any ideas what I could do?
OK guys,
I just had my "faulty" Diamond replaced - it wasn't ringing on calls, but all other sounds were OK. This is not the same issue that people have had with SMS notifications etc etc.
Basically only a hard reset cured the issue, but it came back after a few days.
Since using the new one I think I worked out what it could be, and it might be very embarassing.....part of it is to do with the stupid way HTC have implemented the volume behaviour in Touch Flo, and their philosophy of "why press the screen once when you can press it 3 or 4 times"! Dismissing email, missed call and SMS notifications from the Home screen anyone? - need I say more.
Anyway, the problem <I think> stems from the way they changed the volume feature. (and operator error).
In WM6.x native, if you turn the system volume off, then the ringer turns off - if you turn it up the ring stays off - BUT both volumes are seen on one screen. So it's obvious.
In Touch Flo there are 2 separate screens!! System Volume, then an Arrow left to "Ring Volume".
Anyone who has the apparent "no ringing" press the up or down volumne, then make sure you hit the arrow left for "Ring Volume".
My sample size is 1, so this maybe coincidental, but I hadn't realised it worked this way.
For those of you with the problem, please check the "Ring Volume" level and get back to us.
See the pic attached.....
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the 'no sound on calls' problem has been seen to happen when the system volume and ring volume have been at maximum. Indeed this has also been seen to happen on WM6.x native, where as you say, both levels are visible.
I was meaning the incoming calls do not ring at all- the sound when speaking still works.
Is that what you meant?
If yes then that's a pain - I was hoping it could be the end of my troubles!
This may or may not be relevant, but, I never change the volume (system or ringer - they're both set to max) and indeed I've even remapped the volume hardware buttons to other functions but on occasion I find that whilst my system volume remains on max my ringer volume has gone right down to zero.
It certainly wasn't me that did it - at least not directly through any positive action related to changing the volume anyway.
I cannot seem to reproduce this problem, and so for now it seems to occur randomly (of course I'm sure there is a definite trigger - I just haven't found it yet!).
Mathew
that is odd - whatever is causing it then, it might be ringer volume related...
This Has Solved The Problem On My Touch Diamond...will Probably Post In A Couple Of Days To Indicate Whether The Problem Has Returned...if You Don't Hear From Me In This Thread Again Then The Problem Can Been Seen As Solved For Good.
All The Best

no sound.
hi. just got my new diamond. it powered up alright, installed all the necessary apps and sounded great. I also adjusted the system and the ringer volumes to around 80% of max.
but if i use the phone after around 15 minutes, there is not sound. no audio player sound, either songs or incoming calls or sms or anything. its just dead silent.
wanted to go to the shop to have it replaced, but before that, i wonder if anyone can help me and tell if this problem can be solved myself.
i guess i will wait for a reply before going for a replacement.

Bad news mate. But that problem is slightly different to the topic - it's only the ring volume which doesn't work for me and certain other people.
All other sounds work just fine.
Phone not ringing, vibrating or flashing for incoming calls
I am also having the same problem with my Diamond. The phone is not ringing/lighting up/vibrating or anything when someone is calling me. I have tried calling my phone myself to just watch it remain black. I REALLY hope someone somewhere finds a solution to this problem, or I may just throw it against the wall
I also had the same problem with my Telus CDMA diamond - sound worked fine, then after a random amount of time after power off, there would be no sound - no ring, no mp3 audio, nothing. Sound would be restored after soft reset, but would again disappear sometime after being powered down. I tried everything to fix - reflashed various roms, SRS WOW driver, everything - no fix to be found. The only way I could prevent the sound from disappearing was to use the "not suspend power" option of S2U2 - sound was maintained but it sucked battery like crazy. So, I returned the phone for exchange - they exchanged no problem. I haven't had a problem since with the new phone.
Phone not ringing for incoming calls
I've had this problem twice in the last couple of days. After testing a few scenarios I have been able to reproduce this problem on my TD. Like other users, the problem that I was experiencing was that my TD would not ring upon an incoming call. It would flash the screen and show caller ID, but no sound. Ring volume and system volumes were both at max.
I have been using an alarm application, G-Alarm v0.6.4. This app was installed to the device memory. After setting a test alarm and cancelling it, I then called my TD and the problem was reproduced. Are any other TD owners with this bug also using G-Alarm? (I also found that the G-Alarm was not stopping by pressing "Stop", so thought it was a bit buggy.)
I could restore the phone ringer by opening Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications. I found that my original ring tone for an incomming call had changed by itself. When I restored the ringer to my chosen ringtone, problem solved.
I uninstalled G-Alarm and so far so good.
I'm interested to see if any others with this problem are using G-Alarm or any other 3rd party alarm app.
Regards,
Paul
Paul, I also seemed to have run into the same issue with g-alarm. I say seem because although I did a hard reset the issue has persisted. The issue seems to frequently crop up when I switch sound profiles.
I've the same problem. No Sound after some call or others sounds play. When this happens and if I receive a call the others not listen my voice. This means that when audio disappear, speaker and also microphone not work, like the system can't comunicate with them. The volume control not resolve my problem. I've done HR and with nothing installed in my phone the problem come back again after few minutes. So it's not a problem of third part bad software, but htc orginal software or hardware problem.
Anyone solve it o have idea?
Thanks!
Perfect solution sickboy555 - I feel a right twit!!!!
no sound
So, for me, the Diamond is a dead brick - just good to look at, with no sound after 15 or even 10 minutes of standby.
can anyone just tell me if this type of a problem may be related to 1. Hardware, or 2. software.
I've given it to the shop from where i bought it from, but they keep on returning me the phone after a week to 10 days, telling that it's been fixed now. But the problem still persists, and I keep on giving them the brick back again and again.
Frustrated, i wonder if I can fix it myself, or just go to the shop, and throw it against the wall and count the pieces !!!!!!!!

glad to have helped!
I'm not sure if there is a real hardware issue as well. Are the others with the "same" problem sure they followed the guidance????
Hi Sickboy555,
yes I checked your advice but this wasn't the cause of the problem for me. As posted earlier, for me it was caused by my G-Alarm application. It's been over a month now since uninstalling G-Alarm and the problem hasn't returned since.
you are the man,thank you.
Thanks. My incoming ring tone problem has been solved.
er...sorry..wat is the solution again?? i dun really get it...
I past this one in raphal too.
maybe some diamond user have the same problem?
when i get a incomming call. and talk with them, the sound cuts from time to time..
its realy annoying, it is some fix to this?
yes I have the same problem
The ppc stops when the phone conversationis on and it goes for reset
I am eagur to get it rectified
Please help me
My phone has developed a strange problem whereby it no longer makes any audible tone when someone rings! If I set it to vibrate, it does indeed vibrate, but if its set to ring, its completely silent. The incoming call notification is displayed from S2U2, and I’ve tried changing the ringtone to ensure it wasn’t having difficulty finding the file, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve verified the volume is set to ring, but its still not working. Has anyone experienced this or able to suggest a possible fix?
6.1 stock att tilt
I have the same problem and really like some help towad this matter. see mines is a little different it rings,but it's low but once the call comes to the end of the call volume get loud like it should at the begening. i thinks the cause of this is the s2u2 on my tilt . everything works but incoming call is so low ,I do't know someone was calling until they hang up the volume comes back it's like s2u2 ver.136 muffes my ringtone untile the call end someone please take the time out and give alittle help over here plz asp.
I have the same problem too. I changed from ATT stock ROM to Garmin DK 1.2 ROM and then after a month, the phone stopped ringing for incoming calls. I upgraded the ROM to Garmin DK 2 and the problem temporarily vanished and then started again after about a month.
Does anyone know about this problem? For now, I am installing the HTC Kaiser ROM to test if that solves the problem.
random freezing
I've been having the similar issues with my tilt. It freezes and will vibrate when a call comes, but no sound and it won't stop vibrating until i soft reset. It does it randomly and sometimes it freezes before the number can be displayed so it is shown as an unknown number and i don't know who's calling because after the phone restarts the last call is not in the history. I have a few programs installed like skyfire, tcpmp, s2p, and i use my bluetooth headset at almost all times and i still can't answer with the headset on. I also have the HTC home plugin installed but it came with the windows mobile 6.1 update.
idea
Hya,
I had the same problem with my Niki and it intercame even with the Kaiser.
On Niki the problem was on WM6.0 .. after I upgraded no problem came. The "vibration freeze" never happened again and it's ringing every time.
On Kaiser the problem was in mirror. The ringing functioned well with WM6.0 and the problem came with the upgrade to WM6.1.
I can only think that the problem was that the ROM was broken but not sure.
An idea which I can gave to you to resolve a bit the problem is to install SPB phone suit where you can set ringtones to the calls, SMS, MMS and e-mails (and on newer versions maybe to many other things). It worked on my Niki `till I didn't upgraded (I didn't try it on WM6.1).
Never tried on Kayser but it worked for sure on Hermes.
Just try it, you can be sure that you don't brake anything and SPB phone suite for me was a usefull prog. Friendly interface, easy use and VERY usefull.
Have luck
I've installed the last ROM for my HTC Diamond. When I receive a new sms and the vibration is on, the PPC doesn't vibrate if my device is in standby, just if it's turned on. Is there a way to fix this problem?
I don't want to activate the vibration when on Ringing Mode, just when the vibration mode is active, like in the old ROMs
have the same problem, only thing to solve it is to activate the ringing + vibrate mode (a no-go) or to activate the wake-up on new sms (via diamond tweak) but this is no solution for me, too, because the device turns on then on every new sms... its the only negative thing on the new rom('s) but very annoying!

That's a good idea. I tried this solution and it works. Better then to be forced to activate the vibration + ringing mode. Thanks a lot
yes, but on the other side it forces you to use any screen-lock application or your diamond will going to have its own life in your pocket recieveing a sms... and when you do so, you will have problems using your diamond as an alarmclock and so on.. one thing leads to an other... i hope that anyone comes along with a clue to this really only 2.03-rom issue one day.
