Ringtone broken? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i choose a mp3 ringtone with normal 128 kbps.
When someone calls my phone, i dont hear any ringtone. just 2 or 3 times a really silent scratching or something like that.
when starting the mp3 file as media (or even when choosing it as a ringtone) it plays with no problem.
only "broken" when getting a call.
anyone got a clue for that??

This happened on my WinMo phone one time, do you have it set to announce the caller or anything?

nope, i doestn set anything with the ringtones!
When i use the stock tones, it works. but when i try to use a self uploaded mp3 song, it won't work. and as is said, when playing it with the media play... no problems at all!

Kaiser will not ring

Its not ringing when a call comes in. It also does not vibrate.
The sound is up on the PPC and Ringer and if i go in to the phone settings it will play a ringtone fine.
Any ideas?
may be a reset might help? It also happened to me and after a reset, it all works good.
Don't know if it's the same thing with me, but my kaiser also at some point of day refuses to ring (still vibrates ok). It won't play mp3s with GSPlayer or MediaPlayer. Sometimes you can hear the song playing really quietly (only hear it if you press your ear to speaker).
It has happened like that for 3 days now. The sound will come back if I hit the tytn II gently (more like knock it). Althoug since today I'm not sure if it's the knock or the keyboard moving wich brings the sound back.
Any ideas?
What I've tried so far:
- Muting, unmuting
- changing volume
- soft reset
hard reset it. may be some programs you've installed might be conflicting. If the hard reset don't fix your problem, then you have a faulty unit. You can also try pocket mechanic to clean the registry and stuffs. Very helpful program.
Ok, will try hard reset.
Although I doubt it will help. Before hard reset, there was some very faint sound coming from the speaker. And speakerphone didn't work at all.
Back to resetting...
Try to change the ring tone to a different one, mine was doing the same thing it would only virate, I changed to a different ringtone and it worked fine.
I did try to change the ringtone. Every time the problem emerged. The problem was that the ringtone wasn't the only thing not playing. There was no sound for any of the events. And the speakerphone option also didn't work.
I did a hard reset last night. It didn't help. So I gave it up and went to sleep. I left my tytnII on a USB connection to my laptop. In the morning I checked if the problem was still there and found that the sound is back - the ringtones work.
I put it back on USB connection to sync. Copied an mp3 to test if it can play it (it has played it before). And there the sound went again - I can only hear it playing faintly if I hold the speaker to my ear. The ringtones won't even play when I check them in notification sounds setup - not even the default built-in ones.
Could it be a temperature issue? The tytnII sound was fine when I picked it up in the morning, it was room temperature. But it gets slightly warmer when I charge it or sync it.
I have done soft resets. I can play sounds in the phone settings options and music plays it will not vibrate when calling.
Resolved it was the 3G Dialer app causing the issue.Now i need a new one i hate the orange look....
I had an issue like this, but it was due to ringtones stored on the storage card ... and when the phone would wake up, since it takes the storage card driver a few secs to load, it wouldn't ring.... and I resolved it by moving my everyday ringtones to main memory
the thing is the rings are not on the card......
Maybe its the rom's radio
sleuth started to explain this in his upgrade however no one explains how to downgrade the radio. I believe mine is doing the same thing however I get no sound. maybe its the radio.
Draqula, did you solve your problem? Im having the same issue on my tytnII. I cant hear ANY SOUND. But if I play an mp3, for example, and I knock close to the speaker, the sound starts.
Any ideas?
My problem solved: The speaker was changed under warranty.

increase speaker sound

is it possible to overclock/tune the audio settings and increase the sound that comes out from the speakers???
I hate the tilt speaker, its so quiet that i always miss my calls. Plus my headphones are louder not on my ear than playing music from the speaker.
mehh???
Can't do the phone for you, but get a player with pre-amp capability in the equaliser - like GSPlayer, or TCMP
G.
just tried gsplayer, its not loud either...
is there anyway to make the speaker louder for mp3's??? :/ atleast for the ring tone.
Download your ringtones from your pda to your pc and open them with an audio edit program (like audition or ...). Raise the volume and save it.
Put them on your pda
think you should go to a doctor
i had to decrease the speaker to 50% cause it was much to loud.
there will be no software-way to increase, cause it is limited to avoid hardware-problems with the speaker. try to open your kaiser and do some electonic-work
bye andré
Are you complaining about the ring tone volume? or the music volume?
If so then do the following using your computer:
1. Save the Ring Tones or the Music Files onto your Computer.
2. click on Start/All Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder/
3. On the Sound recorder, click File/Open/ ( open the Ring Tones you saved earlier or the music files)
4. Increase the volume and then save the file. You can re-record the saved file with another 25% volume increase.

Not offense meant, I'm talking from a professional point of view: go to a ENT specialist to check on your hearing capabilities. Especially if you're young, you may have damage from various club visits, etc.
If you're older, you may have had ISSHL without even noticing it.
Seriously: I'm 42 and the HTC TyTN II is VERY loud at the max volume setting(s), so you definetely have to check out your hearing capabilities. Even if you think you hear very well, it is possible that you hear only certain frequencies very well and others not.
Just a friendly advice, you don't have to agree.
the phone has its speaker on the rear side, which is sucks!
but then they couldnt place the speaker grills on the front either for sake of looks
i (and i am sure almost everybody) keep the phone with the lcd facing up so the speaker gets blocked and the sounds are muffled.
my nokia has its speaker on the top (not front) which sounds awesome even when in pant pockets..
seriously i think uk3 is fine..lol..nothing wrong with his ears
Take a look at your sound profile.
I was having the same problem until i checked that and noticed that it defaults at sound 40% ring 40%
knocked it up to 100% and all is well now
the sound for the default ringtone... (Ring Windows Mobile) is VERY loud when volume is at max. BUT the ringtone of the mp3 that i put into the /my documents/my ringtones are very low and unable to hear them when i have the phone in my pocket. I notice about a 50% in volume change.
This goes with the windows media/audio manager. It plays really low. My hearing is fine im only 18 lol

Can you let me know if you find a solution to this. The problem is real. Maybe we have DOA units. My speaker is bearely audible.

if you have a program like Audacity you can use that to make your MP3ringtones louder.

Not sure where or if it even exist on a default settings (i've got the 02 version of the Kaiser i.e the strealth) but i've got SPB phone suite installed so there is a icon on my today screen which I can just tap and set various profiles to ring and notification settings (set to 100% ring and 100% vibrate, 40% ring and vibrate, just vibrate etc.)
But as a test I did a hard reset (backed up everything with sprite backup first) and then played the default ringtone and it was very quiet , restored from my backup which had spb phone suite installed and the volume increased a lot
Hello folks ... actually my problem with Kaiser is different, as my speakers work so fine with both ring tones and music ... but my problem is with the ring back tone (RBT) which is the ringing tone you hear till the other party picks up the call ... I can barely know whether it's dialing or not ... anyone can give me the registry key/value to enhance this.
TIA
HI dude, try the SRS WOW HD app.
It works on my Kaiser
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355496&highlight=srs_wowhd_arm
The volume of the actual mp3 doesnt matter. I rerendered a mp3 to 20db more than it was.. and it still played the same volume on the phone... Is it just that the speaker of the kaiser is crappy?
Can anyone suggest agood custom setting
If u could clcik a Picture captuer & post it
Would help alot
Thank You

No sound and endless vibration?

Hey I have a Diamond on TRL ROM 2, but I just flashed it to try and get rid of a problem I was having with the stock ROM, however it's still there.
After a certain time (not sure how long because I realize it after), the sound for my phone stops, this includes my ringtone, sms alert and even when I try to play music. I miss all my calls and text unless I have vibrate on. Then, when I get a text message it starts to vibrate non-stop and I have to turn off my phone.
When I soft reset it or turn it off and on, it works fine again but only for a certain time.
Does anyone know what's causing this, if it's a setting or ANYTHING, please help!!!
Mine has nothing to do with my bluetooth by the way.
I have this problem too, but my diamond only stops ringing; I see that this problem occours when I disconnect my jabra headset after playing audio manager thru bluetooth.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
little up, still having this problem, today I've lost two calls...
Any help is very appreciate, thank you.
HTC say to make sure your ringtone is on the main ROM - not the extended area (memory card).
If for any reason the card becomes unavailable (ie a blip or USB connection to PC etc) then the phone temporarily loses its path to the ring tone until a soft reset or similar...
It will either endlessly vibrate if set to vibrate & ring or be silent if set to ring only.
Happened to me a few times.
But not had it since I copied my ringtone to the main memory.
Just a thought... Ignore if your ringtone if it is already on the main ROM.
I'm going to try that and let you know, hopefully you are right!
Thanks for the tip
my ringtone is set to oldphone2, so I think that's in ROM...?
Yeah actually well I don't got my diamond to try it right now, but doesn't it copy the ringtone to the ROM folder if you set it from internal memory.
Plus not only does it not ring, doesn't play mp3s, and even if you pick up the call you can't hear incoming sound and caller can't hear you neither.
So that can't be it, but thanks for trying!
Yes, I spoke too soon as have had this again.
It loses all sound until reset.
I've now experienced this on the original and Bepe's ROM - it must be a fault in HTC's software or configuration as I've not had it on other 6.1 devices.
I'm sure HTC are working on it...
have you installed srs wow hd? ive had this issue with the old version of this software...
Hi, no i got this almost the first day (soem weeks ago), before I had installed anything. I'm running Bepe's ROM with just PocketPlayer and got it again...

I don't think I have that problem installed, are you saying it may be what's causing the problem?
Or it may fix it, if so
Could you give me a link for download, or info on how I can get that installed on my device?
Thanks
Yes hopefully HTC fixes this really really soon with an update!

simply install the 1.21 cab then soft reset. works for me!
let me know...
I have the same problem. Here it's the MediaPlayer I think.
Still no sound at all
I tried everything you guys said here. And still, no sound at all on my Diamond. I put also the Elite 2.0 thinking that if i put another ROM the Sound will appear. But no. I am realy stucked.
What the "#¤#" should I do to make the sound to work?????
mate your gonna have to return your unit to service centre or place of purchase. I had the same problem, and there are others on this forum that have posted for help about this matter.
I had same issue with you losing all sound intermittently, unit would non stop vibrate when alarm sounded. Hoped it would be a software issue since soft reset fixed it temporarily. My phone has now been away for 3 weeks, still waiting for it to come back
I've got the same problems.
I found one temporary solution, and that's to copy a .WAV or .MIDI ringtone to my documents\my ringtones and set that as your ringtone, or other notifications.
It seems that the problem is with .wma files, at least with my device...

Hey I installed, and yeah the problem still remains, I think this is just to improve sound, I have NO sound...
I can't believe HTC haven't given us something to fix this yet, because with no sound this phone is useless and after spending $700 that's really frustrating.

Thanks, I think you might be on to something, since the media player default music (sample) are wma, and others have being saying it's the media player.
I'll give this a try later today and let you know, thanks!
Edit: How about using mp3s as well? Or should I just do wav?

I' m not sure, but I guess all but .wma is ok.
I use midi's btw, because there is an annoying delay with .wav
no sound at all
In my case, I took the advice of #15. For me it was easy since I just got the phone so my provider changed the phone imedately.
With the new device I put the Hard SPL OliNex 1.40 and then the TRL 2.0 ROM. And happily the device works well.
I installed the SRS WOW 1.2 which made my music playback to delay between actions. So I unistalled and this delay between actions (Play, Seek, Pause, etc) dissapeared.

mp3 sound "pop" "clipping" issue htc diamond.

Hi!
I love the sound of the Diamond when playing Mp3, but I had this issue from the start, the sound "clips" or "pop" or whatever it is called? when listening to music.
I usually turn the screen off, so this could be some kind of energy saver thing kicking in maybe? because it only occurs one or 2 times and then it seems ok after listening for a while.
I have tried Coreplayer, Slide2Play etc, and it is all the same, random clipping in songs, and nothing is wrong with the files.
Does someone know what this could be? or how to fix it? it is driving me crazy.
Running Original 1.37 Rom SWE
Thanks in advance!
Ps. I have used the search function, but not found anyone with this issue.
EDIT: Did a long test today and it happens all the time, I don't know if "stuttering sound" is a more correct word for this, like you pause the music for a few milliseconds and then resume the song.
Have noone had this on their Diamond? I hope the processor power is enough to play mp3 songs eh?
