[Q] Incoming Ringtone not working, Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPU

I just flashed the ROM to stock XXJPU 2.2.1..
Everything's outstanding except the incoming call ringtone and vibration..
Whenever someone calls me up, the ringtone sounds for some miliseconds.. and then it's just gone... no vibration in silent mode.. no ringtone in general mode..
I never faced this problem before but facing this after I flashed to XXJPU..
Any solution?

Very strange, I haven't had this happen at all and I'm using JPU.

Ahh..
The message notification is working like a charm but the problem is with incoming calls only :S
Checked all the volumes, ringtones, nothing works. Even the vibration mode is not working.. Phone remains silent while someone calls me up.

wow...
maybe u have the bad firmware... so where can u download this firmware.... any links? and do i need the password on the zip file???

Both my girlfriend and myself have a similar problem, oddly enough we have different firmware and models. Call ringtones and message alerts rarely work. E-mail notifications and such are fine. I've got an 16 GB Australian GT-I9000 (Optus) running JPU. However my girlfriend has a 8 GB GT-I9000 (International) running the latest official (Kies) firmware, JPO.
We're both with different telecomm providers so I don't think it's a network related issue. I'm a little surprised to find that so few other people have the same problem. I'm a bit busy of late but I'll see what I can find out. If anyone else has any information please don't hesitate to share it.

I have exactly the same problem, since I upgraded to JPU. With my previous upgrades, I had no problem so it seems to be a JPU's bug. But, why only some of us are concerned ?
What could I do ? Any ideas ??

I just "fixed" mine somehow by fiddling with settings. I probably shouldn't have done so as now I don't actually know what the problem was (so I can't make a real fix). However, I just tried reselecting my call ringtone, message ringtone, changed my volume up and down, turned silent on and then back off a couple times and enabled vibrate for all calls (not just on silent). Then the next time I got a SMS it worked. I don't know if it will stay working though.

Thanx for answering ! Me, I have no problem with SMS notification. Only calls ring. But, I will follow your note : play with volumes, mp3, sounds, notification modes, ...
I just notice that an icon appeared just a semi-second after a call arrives : that's the "Silent mode activated" icon (an HP with a slash on it !). But I'm not in silent mode !

I had this problem, so I re-flashed and only restored apps and not system data, everything is fine now.

Hey, that's fine, I've found the reason why my phone stopped to ring : an app not compatible with version 2.2.1 called NetQin Mobile Manager v3.2 ! I just uninstalled it and my phone found back his voice ! lol !

[Q] Startup beeping ?

Just after I power on my phone it makes a loud, annoying noise like: "beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep"
It started when I set a custom ringtone and notification sound.
The only cause I can think of is that maybe the phone is trying to play my custom sounds files before they have been scanned by the media scanner, which is resulting in a system notification sound being played instead.
Is that likely to be the case?
My custom sounds are stored in: /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
Thanks.

Delete or move your custom sounds to test your theory .
No mention of firmware .

Sorry, I was sort of seeing if anyone had a similar problem first. Anyway:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Build: FROYO.XXJPY
(Not rooted)
I think I am meant to get Gingerbread any day now, and I plan to root after that - so maybe one of those will fix it.

What I noticed on mine is this only happens when there is a voice mail left when phone was off. I get this annoying, almost non-stop beeping when the phone boots up, and about the only way to stop it is too check notifications asap. I have no tone that sounds like this beeping, and have no clue why it does this on boot. I thought it was stock ROM issues, but I have flashed auxora and trigger 3.2, and get the same annoying beeping. It is only when there is a voice mail in the notifications, when booting up phone.

Thanks jman!
I had the same problem, hours of searching 'android boot alarm' and endless variations on google found nothing on this. I googled 'android beeping at boot', found this thread and you were 100% correct. I cleared my voicemail and no more beeps! Seems like an odd bug, anyone know a way to prevent this from happening any further? I was minutes away from a hard reset before I found your advice. Thanks!

Same here on I9000B Froyo 2.2 JPA
I hate this beep. Its so loud.

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem. My vibrate notification just stopped working.

I have a same problem here,
I am using Cassie's XtraLiteRom KL3 ThunderBolted! V4
Everything good but today I just notice that my vibration is not working anymore.
Please help!

I have the AT&T version and I'm having the same issue. After a factory reset the vibration for notifications works again but then eventually stops working again...

no vibration
Mine stopped working recently. Not sure how to fix it. Is it something I installed? It does not vibrate for incoming texts or phone calls.

Flashing a stock ROM fixed this for me. I've seen others say that fixing permissions or wiping dalvik will fix too.
Only time this happens to me is when flashing ROMs
I'm sure this makes no difference but when I flash a ROM, I leave those bottom settings under Sound as the defaults. Aka haptic on.

I'm running the stock AT&T ROM. Do I need to be rooted to wipe the dalvik cache? What does "fix the permissions" mean? THANX!

That shouldn't happen running bone stock. Try a factory reset first if you have not done so already. Don't install any apps. Run the phone for a day. If your issue returns I would swap the phone out for a replacement.
The haptic motors in every Android device I've ever owned has done some weird thing or another. I stopped using it. Why blow the motor out early? Vibrate on silent for notifications I found to be sufficient. At first I was put off by changing my using habits but disabling haptic feedback has grown on me.
EDIT: I see you did a factory reset and it came back. I'd exchange for a different handset. Just me though. Someone here might have another solution

THANKS!!!!

;/
It's old topic, I know, but Im bumping it. Vibrations in external apps like facebook messenger or kakaotalk doesnt work for me, but for normal messages, phone calls etc it works, so I doubt its fault of phone. And in my Galaxy Ace before I had same issue, but it just stopped working after some update from devs of this apps i said. Though it would be strange that only few people has such problems. I think its something about settings or w/e, can anybody help here in this thread without saying 'factory reset or exchange phone' ?
Thanks <3

[Q] Lockscreen consistant sound.

I recently rooted and flashed CM10.1.3 on my partners i9305.
But now the phone consistantly plays an unlock sound even with the lock screen sound disabled...
This doesnt just happen when unlocking the device, it plays during normal phone use...
Ive tried looking for anything else that may be causing it, ive even tried fixing permissions in the off chance there was an app conflicting with something.
Any help would be great as you could imagine how annoying this would be...
Thanks

Xperia T no sound after unplugging headphone

Hello
I've rooted my xperia t to install a custom mod on it. But I haven't had the time for it to install it. Recently I started to use my xperia to listen to music more, and when I unplug my headphone, my xperia sometimes thinks my headphone is still plugged and doesn't play any sound through the speakers. So I've missed already several times my alarm. I use the standard in ear headphone of apple, the ones you get free with your ipod.
So before I install a custom rom, I want to know if this is because I rooted my phone or it is a common problem and how to fix it? I already googled it, but I didn't find anything useful. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Greetings

Hello, this does happen sometimes on my phone too!!
This is not because of phone being rooted.
My phone is rooted too.
All you have to do, is re-plug the headphones in the socket and then take it out and this should make the speakers work,
If not, you can always reboot the phone.

Yes, I've figured that out aswell, but it's annoying. Sometimes I forget to check if my sound works, I set my alarm and it doesn't go off. AFAIK, it's a software problem, so wouldn't be there anything to fix this problem? Wierd, sony never released anything to fix this problem as other people have the same problem aswell. Now I'm afraid to install a custom rom on it due to warranty, as maybe I will have to bring my phone in to fix it.

Same bug exists with Xperia V

Yes, this same bug exists on my Xperia V as well. However, one would suspect it could be a hardware fault, mainly because if it was present on every Xperia V/T phone out there, there would logically be a LOT more uproar about it.
If anyone knows whether or not the actual cause of this, do let me know. Some people are pointing to Sony's Smart Connect as being the culprit, but I have tried both disabling all its features, and also editing the headset and headphone profiles to FORCE (=add actions) sound mode to normal and volume to a certain point upon removal of headset - no help. In fact, on my phone not even plugging the headset back in and out helps, I seem to always need to reboot.
Official response from Sony is "we cannot reproduce the problem". But it is relatively widespread.

Just to let you know, and I'm not 100% sure about this "fix", but so far so good.
I downgraded Smart Connect via Google Play ("uninstall", so all updates gets removed) and deleted all headphone and headset events in the old version (the Music on the go and Music at home events). Been using the phone for a day without the bug appearing now - so if you're willing to part with Smart Connect's features, this might help you too.

Hi thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this after my exams. Yes I'm willing to delete smart connect. Never used it and I should even look it up to know what it means

Two days ago I downgraded Smart Connect. Looks like that's the fix. I still haven't had the issue since I downgraded Smart Connect. Thanks for the tip!

This bug seems have been solved in coming JB 4.3 update (I'm using the leak for a while and no longer such bug)

Basically it's not a software problem and I know it's very annoying... The problem is in the jack hole itself,
Don't ever try to do a factory reset because this won't fix that bug
You can either clean it "hardware fix" (hard method),
Or download this app on Google Play here #adfly /1d8wfk# {sorry, the site is preventing me from putting links} "software fix" (easy way but you may have to open the app every time it is terminated by a ram accelerator like clean master or something like that)
Hope this works for you
And plz tell me if my English is bad
