Hi All
I recently lost my ringtone and found a solution on here, so all is fine.....EXCEPT when the phone rings, the ringtone disappears when the scroll wheel (if that's what it's called) is moved.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so found a fix???
The phone carries on ringing silently if I move the wheel, it's just the sound that disappears and that's obviously not very good if it's in my pocket!!
I've tried pressing all the other buttons when it's ringing to see if they make the sound disappear but they don't, it's only the wheel
Any one got any ideas????
Thanks
That's not a bug.
That's a feature...
My TyTN1 did that.
My P3600 did that.
My TyTN2 Does that.
It's the only way of making the phone go QUIET without canceling the call.
Quite usefull actually....
Honestly!!??
It's a feature??
How do I turn it off????
I like that feature very much, too. When someone calls and I don't want to talk to them I just hit the scroll wheel to silence the call but let it continue ringing for them. That way they don't know I'm ignoring them. I can plausibly be out of range of my phone or some other excuse. If you press the end key or hit "ignore" on the phone screen it sends the call immediately to voicemail and the person on the other line can tell they've been actively ignored...
I don't know if it's possible to turn it off.
ive always found it usefull. but sometimes it can be annoying as OP said when its in your pocket

The beginning of every sad story I've heard about screen cracks and phone damage, has always begun with , Well the phone was in my pocket and..............
When I pull my phone from it's padded holster I always look at the caller id first and do not wish to disturb other people while I decide. I appreciate the feature
I'm guessing it's a feature that can't be turned off then
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
Anyone else had anything like this:
When the phone first boots up its perfectly fine, calls work both ways, it plays music no problem.
However leave it sitting on the side for 15-20 mins and then get a call, the phone receives it but makes no noise, answer call an the phone doesnt even sound like its picked it up it's just silent, can' hear person, they can't hear you. Same on outbound calls the phone is just dead i cant hear anything an receiver cant hear me. But the phone does no the call is connected as it rumbles when the person answers but i never hear the ringing before that.
Also once it is in this state, got to music on the phone and click play and there is no sound at all!
This has happened even after updating to newer official rom as well.
Any ideas???
Many Thanks
I am having exactly the same problem.... All sound from the phone just stops working, also the alarm, which means I can never trust my phone to wake me up in the mornings!
Another problem with the phone is that when the phone is called it takes a while for the phone to ring. I have tried to call my phone from a landline and it actually rings three times before the diamond makes a noise!
The latest Tweak 2k2 software solves the 3s ring delay problem...
Do you have a link for this?
Thanks

Some users here were also tweaking the registry, but i solved the problem this kind of way...
(Having your phone in vibration mode) Have you guys ever experienced the 5 sec mail notification vibrating in the middle of calls annoying both you and the caller??
The Japanese phones over here usually disable vibration notifications during phone conversations by default...I'm confused as to why the Diamond does not act the same way...
Has anyone else experienced the same? If so, is there a solution to this problem?
Was anyone able to figure this out? or I am the only have this issue

Nah.. i have this problem as well.. it gets pretty annoying when there's a constant buzzing while I'm trying to talk... lol...
A similar thing happens when an SMS is received while i'm on a call..
Unlike the other non-windows phones i've had where it might simply make a beep, my diamond actually plays the entire SMS ringtone from the speaker over the voice of the person who i'm talking to.... (I dont know if the other person actually hears it...)
hopefully someone has a solution to either of these problems....
I have a strange behavior when a call is accepted on the Z3C and wanted to ask if maybe others have this problem too.
If someone calls me, I pull the green button to the right and put the phone quickly at the ear and talk quickly, then my caller hears me after one second. Therefore he does not understand my name.
I manage myself so dasss I just keep the phone after accepting slowly leads to my ear, so that the caller understands me completely. This is obviously not a permanent solution.
The problem is even more extensive.
If I call someone, I can hear the called party also delayed, just tried.
Maybe someone else has the problem or a solution.
Problem yes, solution no
