I originally posted this in the "Wizard" forum but wasn't sure if this one was more appropiate:
Every time I turn off my device and turn it back on, if it was on ring mode before it toggles to vibrate mode, and if it was on vibrate mode it toggles to ring mode.
I've done several soft resets, looked at ring settings and changing them... but nothing that I've done has worked. I've searched this and other forums but I haven't found a way to fix this problem so far. I would really appreciate the help if anyone has any clues.

Also, if it's of any help, this problem started happening out of the blue. I haven't installed anything new or changed any configuration settings lately. So I have no idea what could have triggered it.
I figured out what was happening. It turns out my communications manager button was jammed and that was what was causing the problem. Fortunately I was able to fix it with a small screwdriver.
Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.
Massiv
disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

(Sorry - this was previously in the wrong thread category)
Hi,
after installing some software apps (numerous freeware utilities), my diamond does not ring anymore when I am called (it does vibrate).
I have checked everything but cant switch the darn ringing on again - other sonds work fine, it just doesn't ring. This is the second time this has happend - after the first time the hard-reset fixed the problem, but then I reinstalled several programs again and the same problem is back again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about this without doing a hard reset?
Perhaps there is a Tweak utility where I can see if the ringing has been switched off?
Please help.
Thanks in advance - I would really appreciate any suggestions.

you might not like the answer, but hard reset has fixed that problem for me with the diamond and 2 other htc phones i had in the past.

What is pointUI ? - I have the standard diamond branded user interface from O2 with all the system internals and the ROM version 1.93.207.2 German.
Please help me - I really do not want to do a hard reset because the last time I could not retrieve my back up with the Sprite backup utility .
Thanks in advance for any help.
i can't believe i'm now posting in this. i remember telling you to post this on the main diamond forum and now i'm having the same problem.
i've tried putting the ringtones in the internal storage, and on the phone's main memory, sometimes i hear the ring for a split second before it goes silent.
from searching, it seemed like some people have had this issue with some SRS WOW program but I don't have that.
have you been able to resolve this? I too would like to avoid a hard reset if at all possible, i just got the phone setup the way i want it and it would take a ton of time to get it back....
This may sound stupid, but give it a try, it has helped before...
Go to the settings tab in TF3D.
Tap Sound
Set Volume at 100%
Sometimes, the ring volume gets reset to 0 by itself, and it took me 4 weeks before I found it, after trying about everything, from uninstalling every app to hacking the registry.

that's usually one of the first places i check... i'll keep it in mind though.
i think i might have an idea what my issue might be, so it was working this morning but i noticed microsoft's voice command was announcing the name of the caller as it was ringing. so i think it might be an issue with the msvc. i'm going to try disabling the voice announce and see what that does...
Problem Solved!
Hi,
guess what - I finally found the solution
I never bothered to read the Diamond manual as I believed the user friendly interface to be self-explanitory - however, I overlooked something very important!
When setting the volume up or down by means of the buttons on the left hand side of the Diamond, the usual vertical bargraph type of display appears and reacts according to how the adjutment is made with the volume up or down buttons, this is clear. There is also the possibility to mute the phone or to put it into vibration-only mode.
Now, at the top left hand side, there is an arrow (looks like this: <). If you quickly tap on that with the stylus before the screen goes away again, you will get a new screen for another setting - now this setting is for adjusting the ringing volume / mute / vibration settings (now the arrow is on the top right and looks like this: >
It is so simply expained: The system volume is not the same as the telephone ringing volume and just requires the quick click on the top left hand side of the screen and voila, bob is your uncle! You can then set the ringing volume up and your phone will ring again.
I wantend to know why the heck the ringing volume just changes or what caused the problem and I have also been able to determine why the ringing volume settings change - to explain:
When setting the SYSTEM VOLUME to mute - then the PHONE RINGING VOLUME is also muted! However, when then setting the system volume up again, the ringing volume still remains muted! This is important to know and it can also happen accidentally or it may be forgotten to reset the ringing volume. I dare to say that this was not really thought about very well and I hope the developers will change this or show a VOLUME STATUS for both the SYSTEM and RINGING volumes somewhere on the desktop/today screen.
... or would that not be a good project for a developer here on this forum perhaps? I would appreciate a comment here...
Thanks anyway for the kind responses and willingness for your help.
I have to date still not read the actual over 260 page little manual booklet, but it probably is described in there. Moral of the story: RYFM (for those who know what that stands for)
Amendment: Found it described on page 42 in the manual booklet - it's actually described there but can be easily overlooked and it is not described that the system volume settings affect the ringing volume settings.
Ok, so the phone rings now but I have a similar problem with my GPS receiver
I will open another thread for this - hopefully someone can help me.
Best regards,
Mike - Germany.
I had the same problem.
It happened to me.
All the system sounds were fine, but the ring wasn't there.
Checked settings, change ringtone, tried a lot of stuff.
I was begginning to think about a hard reset when I found my problem origin:
At least in the ROM that I use (Shaks), when you press one of the volume keys in the side of the phone, you change system and ring volume.
If I press it all down, it goes to zero then vibrate then silent, and normally the system and ringer volumes are equal when you do this.
In that system volume screen that appears when you press volume key, there is a arrow in the top left. If you press it, you'll go "ringer volume" screen. I noticed that system volume was in maximum but the ringer volume didn't fallow it.
That said, if your ROM uses the volume keys in that same way, press that arrow and check if the ringer volume is on too.
Ok, first off, I'm well aware that there are many topics that appear to cover what I'm asking about. I've searched them. Second, I know where the "Sounds and Notifications" option is, and have been there. I'll get to that further down.
I've had this issue since I've gotten the phone. I'm not entirely sure if it's due to apps installed or not, since it's been doing when I've had some installed and when I didn't. I have tried hard resetting my device as well. My phone will play the sound of an incoming text, flash the light, all that just fine... for the first five or so texts. After that, the phone will wake up, it will show the notification on screen, but it WON'T play the sound, nor flash the light.
Naturally, the first time I noticed this, I went into the options menu to see what was up. All the settings were right. I hit the play button to test the file... nothing. I hit it again, nothing. I hit stop, then play, and it started up. Then my notifications were ok again, for about five or so texts. If my phone is on vibrate, it's the same case. It'll vibrate for the first five or so, then stop until I go into the settings.
I don't have a clue what could be causing this, so any and all help or suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thanks.
haps, I have a bit of a funny problem here. Basically I have a gtI-9000 with cyanogen 4.0.1 installed
(about a year ago or so). Everything has been ok till a few days ago, when I realized I couldn't set the
vibration pressing the volume down key. Basically now it skips completely the vibration option and goes from
sound directly to mute (before there was a vibrate option between sound and mute.)
I had a look on the net but I couldn't find anything speicific to my phone. I am sure it is not a bug because it has
worked till a few days ago. Couple of things I should mention:
-I haven't installed anything recently that could have affected the the vibration I don't think (I dont' have any
sound manager, Llama or things like that)
-In Setting--> Sound--> SIlent mode I can still select Vibrate, but after I press the volume up to enable the ringtone, if
when I press volume-down it skips the vibrate again, going directly to mute.
-I have tried to select and deselect "Vibrate and ring" option, no joy
Also I believe there should be an option Sounds" -> Vibrate -> and I have "Always" which is not there for me. I have made a backup in recovery mode, wiped my phone and tested the vibration, but still no joy, there is no option in the rocker volume down (is it what it's called?)
I have no idea what's going on, what do you guys recommend? On my old android phone (gti-5700 android 2.2) I remember there was an
option that reads something like "allow vibrate option when preee the volume down button" (well slightly less
verbose I think) and I thought I could find something on my gti-9000 too, but I couldn't!
Before I begin, out of curiosity (and I hope I don't come across as rude), why are you on 4.0.1? 4.0.4 has been released for quite some time now.
Anyway, about your problem- I don't really know what could cause the vibrate for volume down to suddenly disappear. It may be a bug in the rom. Try reflashing your rom (if you still have it) and see if the problem persists. If not, then it might work upgrading to a newer ICS build (if you don't want to be on Jelly Bean).
Chances are if this is a bug it's probably been fixed in newer versions of CM9.
