Prevent Kaiser/Tilt/8925 from Vibrate on Boot?

Hi,
Own a 8125/Wizard, and it never vibrated on startup/reboot.
So, my 8925 is annoying the heck out of me when it vibrates on boot!
Any way to disable it? Doesn't seem that a registry hack would process the desired change so early in the HTC startup sequence. (Sorry if this has been asked before -- I couldn't find it in a google/wiki search.)
Thx.

Yes, it has been asked for hundreds times before; and still has no solution. You can always put it (Kaiser) in your shock if you find boot up vibration is annoyed; or you may want to take out the vibrator, too.

I don't find it annoying at all. I find it really informative so in case I turn it off and I accidentally turn it on, if I feel that vibration, I can quickly take out the battery before any sound can come out of the phone.

How often do you need to reboot? Other than software installs I rarely need to reboot, is it really that much of an inconvenience?

Put it in my shock?

It was asked before? Sorry -- didn't see anything related, using searches on "disable" and "vibrate" and ("*boot*" or "*start*").

In this case, it's an inconvenience. (But if it were preference, would that change the question at all? )
I've been needing to reboot my Kaiser frequently because of a battery drain problem. Reboot triggers the vibrate, which is not helping my low battery situation.
I don't turn off my phone -- I always keep it on (unless it dies as described above), and charge every night. So, I don't need to know when it turns on. The vibrate notification on boot is only wasting battery for me -- even without a drain problem. (But I wouldn't want to permanently disable the vibrate, in case I need vibrate mode once every ~2 months or so, like in a noisy environment.)
Put it like this guys -- was there ever any good purpose for when your computer beeps on boot? Just because it can, does that mean it should? Default should be 'disabled'. Otherwise, HTC should at least provide us with an OPTION to disable! Just like the bios option to disable a computer speaker's beep on boot.
As to battery drain, that's another issue. (If anyone is curious, it's the original 1350 mAh, and it's heating to 108 F using up to 650 Ah. Haven't isolated which app might be doing it. Tried WM5 and WM6 roms. Hard resets. Reflash. Disabled BT, GPS, HSPD, and took all apps off auto-download data. Ordered new 2400 and 1600 mAh batteres, in case my battery is fried.... but I think that's just me being optimistic.)

I don't know about the whole vibrate on startup thing as it does not bother me since I rarely re-boot the phone, but the beep on start up on a computer did originally (and possibly still does) serve a good purpose. The beeps were used to convey error codes. For example, on one of my old pc's, 1 beep meant things were ok. two beeps indicated an error in the processor, etc.
I know this was off post... sorry

Can someone with 2.2 froyo update perform this check for me..."stay awake" gone?

Can someone with 2.2 froyo update perform this check for me..."stay awake" gone?
So I installed the new froyo update last night and I see one thing missing I liked which was on the 2.1. It had a feature called "stay awake" under the application settings I believe. Well I go to charge my phone for the first time since installing 2.2 and the screen stays on and never sleeps unless I press the lock button. This is only with the usb/charger plugged in.
Can someone verify theres is the same way please? I am thinking they either designed it this way or there is was a problem with my install? Not a big issue, just something I wanted to get clarification on. Thanks!

They did remove Stay Awake from every froyo I've looked at.
It's very easy to add it back. You have to decompile the Settings.apk and remove one line from the .smali files.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium.

I had the same exact problem when I did my upgrade. I was worried about burning the screen and went looking for some fixes for it. You can edit the Settings APK like the above reply mentions Here.
You can also download some widgets to toggle it.
However in playing with the phone I did a couple of reboots, once witht he USB plugged in, (not sure that makes a difference) and noticed that the phone timed out like normal while it was plugged in so I left it alone after that.

Thanks for the replies guys. New twist to the story today. I left my "samsung" OEM charger(one that came with my Cappy) at work Friday so I went to AT&T to buy one. They didn't have an OEM samsung charger but only the AT&T branded micro usb ones so I picked one of those up.
Went home to plug it in, and the screen sleeps/turns off like normal. So now I'm thinking it has something to do with the charger being used? Interesting...

Also still reading up on all the stickies here on XDA on how to modify this phone from rooting/etc so can't quite get into that yet! =/

OK, Similar problem, hopefully someone can help. My phone used to stay on when plugged in (even with 2.2). Convenient since I frequently use it for GPS (Google maps and Google navigator). I tried to use it for GPS the other day, and it kept turning off. Looked for the setting to stay on when plugged in, and noticed it was gone.
Apparently some software I was using changed a setting somewhere. Any EASY way to switch the feature on and off? Can someone recommend a widget or utility to do it?

[Q] nexus one have no sound ~~help

who can help me ,my nexus one can not make any sound,

I'm not sure if i can help you.
But I'm pretty sure anyone who does needs a little bit more information.
Is your N1 rooted or not? If yes which Rom do you use?
What happened before it stopped making sounds?
I could imagine that could be usefull for people trying to help.

Make a complete wipe and see if it helps

Hi!
Initially had this issue when I bought my N1 (a store sample) and it re-surfaced a week ago. Now this is from experience only, so I'm not pretending to know whether "your N1 fails to initialize soundboard for reason X"....
Issue that I solved succesfully is this:
I had no sound from the phone speaker (no ringing, no alerts, no music) - and actually all phonecalls were also silent (and ended up rebooting the phone about 15 secs into the call). What's freaky is that I was able to play music, hear alerts, take calls etc. over my headphones!
I was suspecting something to be wrong with the ringtones from the SD card.
So before wiping your phone (even with nandroid recovery it's a b*tch of a job) try this: Reset all alert tones to some default tones (which are in the rom). Turn N1 off, remove SD & sim, then let it reboot. Then power down, insert sim, keep SD out. Reboot. You should get the tones/sounds/in-call audio back after a few tries of these combinations. You can also try unmounting/remounting the card repeatedly. Also, it may help if you have a second SD card ready (empty or without). When you get the sound back, you can again start using your custom tones off the SD card.
(I usually wipe any unused ringtones in the process, and have even removed the tones from my card, and then reinserted them on the SD, which also seems to work after a few power-down/power-up cycles.)
Sorry, it's totally "unscientific" but if you have, say, half an hour to a full hour to spare do the above and your N1 will be back on track.

Pistolero0 is right we could use a little more info. Another thing that I would like to know is can you play sound through the headphone jack or Bluetooth or is it just the phone speaker.

Uh-oh... Just when I answered, I got the same problem again. This time, it's taken me a day to cycle/recycle. I've gotten the sounds back twice, only to lose them due to a random re-boot. I'm still suspecting it's a question of the SD notifications/ringtones messing up something in the system. (Or it's due to a certain app getting installed or uninstalled.)
So, the sound sometimes comes back, sometimes doesn't.
So, I'm also asking for help on this one....
Symptoms
No in-call audio whatsoever
No audio through internal speaker (the ear-speaker)
No audio through the speakerphone-speaker (on the back)
No notification sounds, no alarm sounds, no ringing.
Music cannot play (the track doesn't seem to advance).
All audio works over bluetooth headset - I can hear notifications/ringtones/alarms, screenlock sound, and even music (winamp & stock).
However, I still cannot make a call over BT (I do hear the ringing, but the audio doesn't connect on an incoming call. Outbound calls are completely silent on BT phones as well.
No sound whatsoever over the standard plugin HF-headphones (the ones that came with the N1).
So my plea is also, how do I fix this? (Wiped & Nandroid-backuped once, but the problem resurfaced, so I don't think that's the thing, then).
EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83-->GRI40-->root-->GRJ22+SU.zip) - I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.
There we go, froyoed for a while

EDIT: Now trying the passimg method (FRG83/D/G --> GRI40 --> root --> install GRJ22 update + SU.zip via clockwork) — I guess I should have done this aways back, (like 3months ago when I got my N1) but didn't.

What a bummer... Froyo, but NO sound. [O]I guess it is a hardware thing then after all, despite all the evidence I've seen so far?[/O]
RESULTS
Some hours later am now back on rooted stock GRJ22, but still no sounds. This must then be a hardware thing - albeit one that doesn't manifest itself always.
Suspecting something is wrong with the 3,5mm plug? (Or a wire is crossed somewhere, which silences the ear-speaker and speakerphone speaker alike).

Still suffering. Anyone got an idea?
Did anyone get their problem solved?

Well I've never had this problem but can I ask you a question when you flash do you use 3X system wipe and 5X data/cache wipe because I don't really think this is hardware cause or else in theory if it is hardware the problem should stay even after a reflash unless it is consistent with something else (example every time you hit X amount of memory used, every time you hit X amount of run time, etc).
So try the 3X system and 5X data/cache and see what happens.

You mean first do the system + data/cache wipes, then flash?
By system wipe, you mean the usual reset-to-factory status kind of wipe?
And how do you proceed with the data/cache wipe? Like, with Titanium or some other choice?
Sorry for the n00biness, I try not to flash schtuff too often. Anyway, I'm going to try your suggestion out as soon as I can.

Sorry for the late reply I haven't had much free time lately but why I say system wipe I mean either use temasek system wipe (if on Amon RA) or the built in wipe system option in clockwork mod depending on your recovery. And for data/cache that is the factory reset.

Update - One Factory Servicing Later, a fix of sorts
Okay. After two weeks of consternation I walked to the service center.
6 wks later (that would be today) I got my N1 back....
Motherboard had been replaced, rigid flex had been replaced, antenna had been replaced. Warranty repairs on level 1 & level 2 had been done. Anyway, quiiiiite happy now.
And yes, I do have sound. Luckily, I was still within warranty, and will continue to be. Lovely.
(Presently going back the FRG83 - FRG83D - FRG83G - GRI40 (gingerbreak root) - GRJ22 route).

Won't stop reverting back to stupid AT&T ringtone...

I'm sure everyone hates the stupid AT&T ringtone, and if you don't you should. About once a day my phone reverts back to that abomination of a ringtone, after I have changed it to a different ringtone--one that doesn't make me want to pile drive my phone into the concrete.
It's as if it wants to spite me because I can find no apparent reason why it's doing this.. I've tried a couple of things: 1) restarting the phone and having someone call me when it starts back up (this ended up not being the cause) 2) letting it lay around for hours and then checking, which sometimes ends with relief that it hasn't chosen that satan-conjuring jingle, but sometimes not..
Anyone have any idea what in the blazes is going on?

I've noticed it happening to mine on occasion, too, for no apparent reason.

Are you using a different stock ringtone? Or one from your sd card? If you remove you're sd card for something or connect via PC, it can happen. It could also happen if you use an app that accesses your sound. For instance, it was happening to me when I used handcent messenger. It's a great app, but once I uninstalled, it stopped happening.

I was using the one called "Modular Light"--pretty sweet one... I'm not sure of any app I'm using that needs to access my sound settings.. What I'm trying now is a custom sound set that I created by going into the personalization menu.. so far today I've received 3-4 calls and it hasn't chosen enrage me with that smut.. we shall see...

Looks like you found a solution.

Mine gets reset back to the default "AT&T ringtone" sometimes, after reboots or connecting to PC via USB port -- very irritating.
Is there a way to disable the default "AT&T ringtone" using a temp root?

Weird ''No Sound'' Problem!

I bought my Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada last summer (I live in Turkey). I've got a weird problem for about a week: there is no sound! When I play videos on Youtube, when I play games, when I plugged in the headphones, when the phone is supposed to ring (there is only vibration)... there is no sound when the phone is turning on, as well.
It happened suddenly and it didn't fall down on the ground recently.
Another weird thing is: when I accept a call / or call someone, the speaker is automatically on and I have to turn it off. The speaker is working well on phone calls by the way.
I checked almost everything in the settings, and everything seems normal. I don't think it's about the hardware but I want to ask you about this problem.
Software Info: [I haven't rooted or done anything to my phone, I use it as its first day settings (yeah, even the Android version, don't ask why, I can't receive any updates for one year for some reason and it's killing me!)]
Android version -> 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version -> 2.1
Baseband V. -> 20.2805.30.08AU_3805.04.03.27_M
Thank you for your help.

I got rid of automatically turning on problem of speaker. I managed to hear the sound in the opening scene as well (after I took the battery off - 1 minute wait - and place it again).
But I have still no sound. Is there a possiblity of blown speaker? How can I test if it is blown or not? If it is blown, would the headphones still be working?

Blown speakers shouldn't have any affect on your headphone jack.
Sorry I couldn't help you any further
EDIT: this might sound silly but is your phone on silent?
Did you check all volumes i.e; Ringer, Notification, Media, Voice, System.
There are more but I think these are all the relevant ones.
Just check if any of these are set down to mute

Thank you for the info. I've just made a factory reset, but nothing has change (plus I lost my SMS archive, since I forgot to backup them! :crying
Factory reset can't solve the situation. Any other suggestions? It's really annoying! Still no voice! But there is voice when the phone is turning on... And no voice with the headphones as well. I don't think it's a blown speaker situation... What can I do? It's really urgent!

Can it be something about ''Radio'' ? I don't know anything about it but it sounds like it is something that controls the audio?

Hi,
Any progress of your sound problem ?
I have an exact problem. Phone speaker suddenly stop working. No ring tone (can't hear incoming call), can't play music, can't hear from headset. But the power up sounds ok , when the HTC logo came up. Tried restart and all sort of setting to no avail. However, I can hear the speaker rings when I call someone and speak to hear them normally.
Very frustrating. Have not done factory reset yet ... that will be the last resource ...

I cant remember exactly but it repaired itself somehow... I remember that I applied a factory reset (I havent changed any other settings) and like 1 week later or something, yep, it was back suddenly! So strange! I wish you a good luck about it!
