I flashed my I897 up from cyanogenmod 7 to 9 and im used to the touchkey LEDs on the bottom of the phone glowing when i get a text or email. Now they only do so for a missed call or voicemail. Using GO sms for messaging and tried configuring the notification LEDs under display settings and it still doesnt work. Also another weird problem is that when im listening to music, the notification that come in play through the speakers and headphones when i have headphones plugged in. Looked everywhere for solutions, found nothing....

Hihi,
I just recently updated my N1 to FRF83 on stock all the way and have started to experience a problem during my incoming calls and would like to ask if anyone else experiencing this as well.
Even after setting all volumes (notifications,ringing,media etc etc) to 100%, whenever I get an incoming call the phone doesn't ring and it only vibrates/LED trackball.
I've doubled checked that there isn't any contact-specific settings for ringtones and also tried using a volume control app to 100% all volumes. Also checked that its not a speaker problem cos the chosen ringtone plays alright on music players. Also tried both custom ringtones and default ringtones and there's no difference.
Been using my sister's phone to call my phone and the thing is that this situation is not consistent.
Sometimes it rings without any issue. Sometimes the ringtone rings for 3-5 secs and silences. Sometimes it does not ring while trackball/vibrate activates. Sometimes it does not ring and trackball/vibrate does not activate as well. The issue is equally inconsistent regardless of whether the phone is on standby(screen off) or active(screen on).
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
I have the same issue with the FRF91 build of Froyo. Looks like the Google forum has a bunch of people reporting this as well.
I'm going to try to go into recovery and clear the cache. If it doesn't work I'll wipe the phone and see if that fixes it.
I'll be darn if I can figure out what is going on here.
4.1.2, stock except for custom kernel brick bug prevention.
I've had this rom running since it was released (this is a note international, GBT via amazon, used in the states)
Never had an issue, but I've started to notice a couple missed calls. Today, I saw what was happening.
Incoming calls, the ringer only rings for maybe 1/2 second, phone continues to "ring" but you never hear
anything! It's like it has been silenced as if you quickly pressed a button. That's how it acts without bluetooth.
If I have my bluetooth (jawbone ERA) turned on, SOMETIMES, if the screen is off, it NEVER rings, on the speakerphone
I'm using to dial my Note, I hear it ring 2 times, then go directly to voicemail. Sometimes it does that, sometimes it does
not, otherwise, the phone ringtone plays for a split second, headset continues to ring normally. Screen shows the incoming
call, but no ringtone. I haven't tweaked, installed, updated anything to cause this. Just one day it started doing it.
I'm about to do a clear reset, but it's just a PITA to set it up. Device is going on 18 months old, first issue I've really had
with it other than a bad USB port or a worn battery.
Any clues?
edit: Found the issue...I use call control as a phone number blocker. In settings, I had on for blocked calls, "remove partial ring" turned on. Once that was turned off, everything started working.
I have had my Z3c about 6 weeks (US- AT&T) and I really enjoy everything about this phone. However, recently the phone quit ringing audibly when I have an incoming call. When I get a call, the screen comes on and shows that I have a call, the phone vibrates like it always does and the LED flashes bright white. But no sound, no ringtone. Actually - a very quiet ringtone, like through the small phone receiver speaker maybe. All other notifications sound out normally: SMS, email, alarms all work fine. Speakerphone works fine. Only incoming calls have no ring volume. Of course, I have checked the volume settings and have the ringtone & notifications volume slider wide open. I have changed ringtones, adjusted every sound and volume setting on the phone to no effect. I turned 'OK Google' off since I have read that in listening mode, OK Google can impact speaker output. Nothing had any effect. I have searched across the internet and haven't found any answer and no one mentioning this issue with the Z3c.
I did find that the exact same issue happened with the Z1 and Z1c when they got the KitKat update in early 2014 (http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-fix-coming-xperia-kitkat-audio-bug ) but i don't find any resolution discussed so I expect that Sony fixed that with an update.
My next step is a hard reset but I can't do that before the weekend so I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone else has the issue or - better yet - a solution.
One thing I am going to try is the stereo sound mod for the Z2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/z2-stereo-sound-mod-incoming-calls-t2921840 ) if the hard reset doesn't work.
EDIT: 10/30/14 - I continued to try different things with the no-ring-volume issue. I took the time today and did a factory reset including erasing internal storage but that didn't help. In addition to what I described above I found the following:
- on an incoming call, the speakerphone does not work. If I turn on speakerphone, the caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. If I turn off speakerphone, everything is fine (I hear the caller in the earpiece, they hear me).
- I have LED set to off so it should not come on except for charging. But it flashes - fast and bright white - on an incoming call. This may not be part of the issue but I have never seen it flash before on incoming call. Maybe I notice it now since I have been staring at my phone while making dozens of calls to myself from another phone to figure this out.
- External speakers do work fine, I can play music, video, etc. and it all sounds fine.
So...any ideas?
I would try setting it back to a default ringtone. It may be having an issue with the one you are using. This is assuming your issuing a custom ringtone.
CollinsJ - Thanks for the response but I have tried many of the ringtones, including the default. I was actually using the default ringtone when the problem started. I am going to edit the original post to include a few more things I learned today related to this problem.
Maybe it's time to take it in for repair.
I have the same problem with my Z3, did you find a solution for that??
z3 sound
Same here. i downgraded to kitkat, no effect.
on sony forum there is a ton of people with this issue.
I got Z3 dual, incoming ringtone volume is terrible and speakerphone volume is lower than speaker for ear.
I rooted but i found no patch to fix it.
Viper4Android doesnt help
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a Z1 which had similar problem, phone would not ring when there was an incoming call. Tried setting to default ringtone, which didn't work.
The second thing I tried was restart the phone in safe mode, and tested it, and got the incoming call ring. After that I restarted normally and it is now working. Don't exactly know what it did but it works now.
Press volume key up then choose sound. Sometimes it has been set to priority.
It worked for me!

Thank you. I restarted my phone in safe mode, like you said, and all works fine.
I have had my phone 2 years and yesterday it stopped ringing and the alarm doesn't ring either, help please
No ring sound volume on incoming call

Anyone having problems with hearing the notification when a SMS or MMS is received on Textra? I'm using a Droid Turbo and I have checked the box for the notification sound (Default Droid turbo sound) and to vibrate always. When I receive a SMS or MMS it only vibrates no sound.
The sound notification works on Verizon Messages, stock SMS app and in hangouts. For some reason there is no sound notification for Textra.
I have a feeling it might be my droid Turbo since my sound notification goes out on all the email intermittently. But it is strange that when the sound goes out on the email, the sound still works for SMS and MMS except when using Textra.
I have made sure the volume level for notification is at max but it still does not work. Then all of a sudden it wills tart to work again. It will also work again after a restart.
Any ideas?
That's odd. I have textra and sound seems to work all the time for me. Not sure what could be causing this..
I have confirmed the levels are at the max level and have tried changing the notification sound. I have a feeling that my Droid Turbo is defective. I have made sure it is the default SMS app. I have also done a master reset and the Textra notification sounds still do not work.
Seeing that a Textra user on the Turbo has it working with no problems, it seems that my Turbo it is defective.
Obviously Im still withing the 14 day return period so Ill see if I can exchange it. If not, I guess I have no choice then to return it, cancel the edge and then buy it at another store. Hopefully it wont come down to that.
Ok another weird find.....seems like if you send yourself a message to yourself in Textra there is no sound notification regardless of the setting (at least in my case). When I sent a message from my other phone the notification came through. Maybe someone can confirm this as well?
On all of the other apps the sound notification came through regardless.
Currently, my phone will vibrate for certain notifications while I am on a phone call. I don't want any vibration to occur while I am on a phone call (although a discreet beep in the background would be good, but not essential, the main thing is no vibration while on a call).
I've looked extensively in settings and can't find any way to achieve this. Have I missed something?
Phone is unrooted and stock ROM.
I'm looking for the same thing! The vibrator is so darned loud and with phone in my ear, it's crazy!
Hi,
It turned out I had to install a 3rd-party app for messaging (Handcent) to get this feature.
Also, after investigating further it turned out that the stock Messaging app doesn't vibrate when you receive a message while on a call (that is, there is no notification at all during the call). So it must have been some other app that had vibrated in my ear. However, I installed Handcent because I still want a notification (a tone) if I receive a message while I am on a call.
Hope this helps.
Look like the bug has been fixed and will be available in "future build"
