The Phone Goes to Ringing Instead of Vibrating

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the TYTN II. I put it to vibration using the HTC home ant it is OK, vibrating when somebody calls. Then suddenly, without me changing anything, it starts ringing as if I changed it to "Normal" profile. When I look at the HTC home I see it still has the "Vibrate" profile selected. I have to press on the "Vibrate" again to make it go to vibration again.
This strange thing happens randomly (or at least I cannot find what causes it), sometimes when I have used the phone, and sometimes even when I haven't.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.

Have you gone to Settings>Phone and set the Ring type to "vibrate and ring"?
You can also use Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications and set "Phone: Incoming call" to "Vibrate and ring"
Hope this helps
Yes, I have all the settings. I change between the "Vibrate" and "Normal" profiles when I am in meetings (vibrate only) or generally (normal, ring + vibrate). The problem is that when I set the vibrate profile, the phone automatically rings sometimes, with sound, which I don't want in a meeting.
reminders?
This problem has just started to appear on my Kaiser. It seems to show up after a reminder appears. I have turned off all sounds and reminders except calendar reminders but vibrate still gets changed to ringing. I have also used Kaiser Tweak to change the defaults.
I don't what triggered this but it seemed to start when I uninstalled FlexMail 4 and then installed Flexmail 2007 but that may be coincidence.
A real problem in meetings or in a hearing where an official can really get upset over a ringing phone.
I still don't have a solution. I don't use FlexMail (any version) so I don't think this is the problem. It could be the calendar but I have not found any connection yet.
Work around
This is by no means perfect but it will prevent embarassing moments. Try recording a "silent" ring tone and using that for your ringer. Then all you miss are phone calls. They, of course, go to voice mail.
I had a similar issue, however it was in reverse, by once choosing the automatic profile in the HTC home.
Basically the automatic feature remains active after selecting it once, so after the reminder, even if it doesn't have time if your next block of time happens to be "free" it will revert it back to ringing.
Unfortunately I never found a solution and now have a new Kaiser, which I have avoided selecting it since getting the phone.
bluetooth too
Yesterday while on a call using a handsfree bluetooth device, a calendar reminder popped up and my bluetooth connection was dropped simultaneously. The call was not dropped and I was able to turn on the handfree connection again using the menu.
Which has led me to search for these type of problems. I found a thread that addresses a way to turn off push mail notifications. I understand the same "fix" works with calendar notifications.

Here is a thread on notifications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330872
I am now sure that the problem is connected with the calendar. It appears when I make some changes in an event (not always but in about 90% of the cases). I am synchronizing with Outlook and I think the problem appears when I change an event that was already synchronized. By "changing" I mean even dismissing the alarm when it goes off.
Any ideas what I could do?

[Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks

Hi,
since the new ROM upgrade for Sprint Diamonds I have an annoying problem: In Sounds & Notifications I set my Phone to "Ring and Vibrate" on incoming call. Each time I do a soft reset, it sets itself back just "Ring".
It's bugging the heck out of me, since if I forget to set it again, I don't know someone is calling when it's in my pocket.
I looked at the registry and only found ways to make ring, then vibrate or visa-versa. But I need to to vibrate the whole time it rings.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
I too have the exact same problem... Any ideas yet?

[Q] Sound problems on Galaxy Tab

Hi,
I'm new to android (former WM 6.5) and I have a strange behavior on my Galaxy Tab with the "mute" profile.
Here it is:
The sound is on "mute" (ringer volume is off).
If someone call me and I do not answer (missed call), the sounds came back to normal mode.
This is annoying me, because I want to have the phone kept on "mute" after that.
Imagine how bad could be this situation in a business meeting, during a movie, or during the night: set the sounds on "mute", someone calls (the phone is not ringing at the first call) and then the sound is going back to normal - the next calls will ring loud !!!
Please help me to solve this annoying situation.
Regards,
Stefan
Personally, i have not experienced this in my tab, and I do receive calls while on mute, and the phone stays on mute after these calls. If I do get the same bug, i will come back to this thread.
As a temporary solution, change your ring tone to beep each time you have a meeting.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for reply. In the meantime I figured it out. It was the GO Contacts who changed the profile from mute to normal after a missed call. They updated the programm and now it is all in order.
This thread can be closed.

[Q] 'Incoming Call' Vibration instead of 'Notification' Vibration

Hi all, I have just got my Galaxy Note from South East Asia. I just want to check whether this is a bug or everyone else's gnote is doing the same thing.
Like the title says, When I received a text message, gtalk notifications, whatsapp notifications, gmail notifications or any other notifications, the vibrations that is coming from the phone is the 'Incoming Call' Vibration instead of 'Notification' Vibration. The 'Incoming Call' Vibration is the long buzz and the 'Notification' Vibration is the 2x short buzz. So when I am chatting with multiple people, I get multiple long buzzes, this is driving me crazy, not just that, this is draining my battery as well..
I hope someone can help me, I want and need the vibration, but I just want the 2x short buzz..
p.s. I have played around with the settings with every single apps and the phone settings, but nothing seems to fix it. I have also done a hard reset, problem still there.
Is anyone else having this problem? If this is normal, then is there any apps or anything that can change this? Thank you in advance for any input..
Can anyone just let me know what are their notifications vibrate and the incoming call vibrate? I just want to know whether mine is acting normal or not? could some help me in replying please?
this is common even my phone vibrates long.. try keeping a short tone like single beep or something. This may reduce the duration.
U can actually set different vibration intensities for incoming calls, notification and haptic feedback ...what i did was to reduce notification and haptic feedback to zero so that my phone only vibrates for incoming calls. go to settings/sound/vibration intensity.

the problem here is that the vibrate that I receive for incoming calls & notifications (sms, email, etc) are the same. when setting my phone on vibrate and when I have it on silent, I cant tell the difference whether it is incoming calls or just a sms text when I have the phone in my pocket. this makes me to respond quickly to my phone whenever it vibrates, because i use my phone as business use, since I thought those vibrates are incoming calls.
thanks to you both for the reply.

AA keeps "ringing" Whatsapp notification.

Hello guys!
I've finally my hands on a VW polo with android auto.
Yesterday I've done some testing with my stock rooted nexus 5.
I've gotten familiar with AA, understanding how to reply messages, but I don't know 2 things ( related )
1. how to "swipe off" message notification
2. how to stop ringing from WA .
I don't know if it's only my problem but after I receive a WA message ( I think it's with sms too ) the car keeps playing the notification alarm of the received message, no way to stop it, unless I plug off the cable from the phone.
It's VERY VERY annoying, someone has gotten the same problem?

Ha. That is interesting as I am having the exact opposite problem on my vw 2016 head unit. I get a visual notification of sms or hangouts message which pops up on the screen for a bit but no audible notification at all. I find this very annoying too as its not very safe to take your eyes off the road to scan the car's screen all the time to see if you have missed a message.

Sorry, but I forgot to tell that I managed to resolve my issue.
My cause of my problem was quite simple: On other notification ringtone I had a sound that was on call tone but NOT in that others notification tones ( titania if I recall correctly ) and this caused the loop.
I have to mark that I NEVER changed that tone and I even re flashed the phone.
Hope this helps in your case!
Same problem with WA and group messages [solved]
I had the same problem (ringing notification) with AA and WhatsApp group messages. After a lot of tests, I checked my WA notification option and It was silenced for group messages, them I changed it to a ringtone and the problem was gone, but now I have a ringtone every time a group message come. Another solution is to turn off group message notifications at AA config, it works well too.
