Has anyone experienced any problems with their phone with the ringtone? To make it clear, basically when someone calls me it is after 4/5 actual rings before my phone actually starts to ring... I have called myself from my other phone and It literally takes 4/5 rings before I hear my diamond ringing!
any fix for this? am I the only one?
i disabled phone skin, although the delay wasn't as bad as yours, it helped.
This has been around quite a bit.....suggest you do a search and find your exact solution......believe me, its there
My delay was about 2-3 ring
As a solution, I've increased the time before the answering machine take the call...
there are loads of threads, and loads of solutions, just search.
Disable HTC Dialer Skin may help
There are tweaks such as registry hack alter script "apw3r" in the HKCL\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtong0 which I have tested cannot work. There is post claimed to have solved the delay in WM5 device here:

I have not tried this. Suggest you to disable the HTC Dialer Skin and restore Windows default dialer skin which your Diamond will ring up in the 2nd ring. Here is my finding regarding this issue:

Ringtone Delay
Did you install any application lately?
When I bought the Diamond I solved this by using Diamond Tweak however in the past few days the issue seems to have re-surfaced even with the ring delay disabled!

I have a serious problem with my new diamond....
When I get an incoming call, I often miss the call because the phone is really slow to ring/vibrate...
I can see that at least for two of callers rings before it rings/vibrates on my end, the touch pad lights up/flashes. But unless you are physically watching your phone all the time, you have no chance to react in time..
Especially becase the lag-of-death os (wm6) takes eternity to figure out that Im actually frantically pressing 'answer call'
Is there some sort of registry hack for this?
Disabling the phone skin helps (download Schap's Advanced Config) and gives you back about 10Mb of memory. Also, some people say that moving from a .wav ringtone to an mp3 helps. I've not tried the latter but it certainly helped on previous PPCs.
Don't have any suggestions for your problem, but I do have a question of my own:
Who hangs up after 2 rings!?!
Who designs a phone that doesn't ring the first three times and then starts ringing? What's the point?

And the answer to that would be - HTC
BTW just a suggestion, if it might help ...
You can set alerts for missed calls - Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications.
So.. in case someone does give you a missed call (one or two rings and then disconnects) - you will be notified with a sound. As opposed to pulling the phone out of your pocket - after 30 minutes and then noticing that you have a few missed calls from people who disconnected after 2 rings
Hope this helps.
the thing is that when the phone starts ringing, I need to react... it does actually happen that it is not in my hand, but on the table somewhere etc..
then by the time it rings the second time I get to it, and press answer.. wm6 then takes 2 years to figure out that the moron holding the phone has actually pressed te button..
by then its up to at least 5 rings on the other end... then a lot of people hang up...
what I would like was to tweak the phone to ring immedeately instead of the initial blinking for two rings...
yea someone do help out in this aspect please...
i for one have free incoming call.. so its pretty wasteful to call back a missed call when actually i could have answered it fast enough..
and im using a mp3 ringtone.. din see much improvement..
As told before: seems the diamond dialer interface is causing most of the pain. disabling it makes it respond faster.
but maybe...
someone made a custom VGA version of our Diamond dialer skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2365614&postcount=16
perhaps if we install this we get our Diamond skin back but without delay (???). it's worth a try, I will try it later.
disadvantage: 5 Mb extra storage space consumed.
I just did some testing on my Diamond.
I have a .wav as ringtone, am using the new dailer interface and am not using TF3D.
The phone starts ringing after the caller hears the second ring on his end, not too bad is it?
Also, I noticed disabling the new dailer interface also disables the "flip the phone to mute" option?
yes its bad.. or not good enough...
did you notice that the ring on your diamond is in fact blinking for those two first rings?
So the phone knows someone is calling you, but delays the ringing?
It's really not that big a deal..
I mean.. so it rings a few seconds later... I mean.. err.. compare that to.. NOT BEEPING AT ALL when you receive an SMS (thanks for the tweak) or an EMAIL (hoping to find a tweak)..
Yeah, it's a problem.. just not that big a problem.
you can setup notifications in the advanced section of the sounds menu.
and even if you couldnt I dont see how one flaw should excuse another?!

Mate, you SERIOUSLY think that there were tonns of people who DIDN'T think of setting up the Sounds and Notifications Menu!!
Needed a registry tweak (for the SMS) and as far as I know, some are still having a problem with the Email (auto retrieval) - notification.
More importantly, nobody is saying that the delayed ring IS NOT A FLAW..
I just said.. a few seconds delay is not THAT big a deal. It's not a matter of EXCUSE one FLAW by looking at the other. Definitely not. A problem is a problem. I was just highlighting that a few seconds delay in notification is not THAT BAD as opposed to not being notified (by a sound) AT ALL

well for me its bad, and theres plenty of other people that feel likewise..
I agree it is bad and would also like a solution.
Most people who ring me get two rings before my phone even plays the MP3 and 2 rings later the answer phone kicks in.
It would be nice if the MP3 played as soon as the LED flashed like it should..

what do you mean with " new dialer interface", the white Diamond interface that comes with the diamond ROMs or the cab file I referred to?

I mean the default dailer interface m8. I'm calling it the 'new dailer' because the tweak set you back to the old one (default WM6.1).
Sorry for confusion
Ok you guys and dolls with the slow response: what ROM are you using?
I use the 1.93 (from Walshieau) en did the test many times today with the diamond dialer active. Result: the moment the phone goes over my Diamond responds. Exactly at the same time!
I did it with the device on, device off, waited 10 minutes, all the same result: immediate answer.
Are there any guys who use 1.93 and experience the delay or am I the only lucky bastard?
BTW: I use radio 1.00.25.05
A strange problem... In every incoming or outgoing call, my phone turns on the outer speaker (handsfree). So I need to turn off manually after call has started... Do you know any reason that is causing this?
no idea? :/
That happenned to me too, after i tweaked the phone (with Adv. Config. tool) to prevent screen from going to sleep during the call. And i never found a solution. Better you don't perform that tweak
Actually problem had occurred much later than advance config... I think it's all about answerkey disabler... But why only me... I am tired of hard reseting... Actually find something about phonespeaker in register but don't know which one should be changed
Solution for me: Audio Notes Touch - Settings - Speakerphone Off
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
Hey everyone,
I have just noticed tonight that when the phone is on silent or vibrate there is no call waiting notification, so it's pretty tough to know a second call is coming through. I take it this is the case with everyone else's X1, and isn't specific to my ROM (the new UK generic)?
If so, what's up with that bad?! A pretty bad flaw if you ask me - the calls are the fundamental function of a phone, so everything about them should be perfect in my opinion.
I had a search and saw only 1 other post about the issue, but without a resolution. I thought everyone would have been moaning about it!
Jason
I am having the exact same problem. Any solution/workaround?
Mine still goes *beep* when it's on vibrate. I'm on the original R2A0010 UK rom. What ROM are you guys using?
Mine is R2AA008 Generic UK
Just installed the latest Generic UK Rom R3AA010 clean, with no addition, same problem. Any ideas?
anybody else suffer from this or is it only my X1i?
I'm on the generic UK R2AA ROM and I have the same issue.
When on a call with the phone set to vibrate mode, there is no audible notification of waiting calls. Guess this really is a bug with the R2AA.
Actually, as I wrote above, I have this problem on the R3A rom too. Does anyone else? Any way to fix it?
Anyway i fixed the problem with Registry Editor
Anyway i fixed the problem with Registry Editor
Somehow I must have set the Incall/Incall2/Incall3 Attenuation to 0 which silent all notification sounds during a phone call.
Adjusted it to setting 5 and now the call waiting tone is way loud. Never missed a call waiting ever again

What are the registry keys you changed in order to fix it?
Hi!
Is there anyway to fix the extremely slow signal on the touch diamond?
What i meen is that the signal wont start until 2-3 dial tones or so, many ppl hang up after 4-5 wich makes it hard to get it out of the pocket and answer the phone before they hang up!
The screen starts flashing at first signal why wont the ringtone go on ? :S
There is a program called Diamond Tweak that you can download to help with this. It has mutiple functions that are able to be adjusted. You want to adjust Section 1.7 under Call, Ring Time that disable delay for incoming calls.
I cannot copy Cab file, so do search on this forum or PPC Geeks to find it.
Didnt change anthing
I have newsest ROM (2.03?)
I think this is a problem too. One way to improve the ringtone to 2-3 rings before starting is to use the Windows dialer instead of the HTC dialer. You can change to this using the Diamond Tweaks program. By the way, if you use the Windows dialer, you will no longer have the bluetooth icon in the taskbar when it is active....
Another thing to do it to have a standard ringtone. I have Siouxsie and the Banshees as my ringtone. Using MP3 trimmer, I have made this just 1.12Mb. A smaller file would also improve things.
If your phone program is running already (I mean you have used the phone after soft resetting), then this helps speed it up.
I have not managed to improve on at least 2 rings before hearing anything though, ever.
I have searched the forums on this topic too and have not found anything more than these tips....
