Ringer issue

Hi all , just getting into this mobile phone rom upgrade stuff and I really appreciate all the good work you guys are doing. I have tried a few different roms and radio roms and seem to have a common problem as the phone doesn't ring anymore. It flashes and audibly lets me know I missed a call but when actually ringing there is nothing. Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks in advance

No, I am sure the ringer works on my ROM, so try that. There is a link in my signature. Also make sure the ringer volume is turned up. There are seperate controlls for ringer and media volume.

If you don't feel like reflashing try using a program called "diamond tweak" I'm sure there is a link to the cab file somewhere on xda or try here http://montecristoff.webs.com/diamondtweak.htm
It lets you change a lot of cool things including your ringer.

Weird sound

Haven't anyone experience weird like me?
My phone suddenly make a sound like a door is opening in horror movie. Then, a laughing sound.
After I heard that sound, my screen was just black and I cant access my homescreen even home or power button were pressed ; it stayed like that till I have to long press power button to hard shutdown it.
What was that?
That time, I was on deodexed ramad jvr with standar black theme from pele with speedmod t10 kernel.
Anyone have this happen too?
My assumption was a virus/trojan was in my phone.

Install an antivirus and do a scan to be sure

OMG...wtf was that?
Never heard anything like this ,looks like your phone got a ghost in it!
i would go and check it out for trojan immediately and reflash it make sure you had a backup already , if the phone's having more weird problems then try to get a more stable and good ROM+Kernel package!

There is no such app that will do joke like that right?
Already reflash my phone,
But really, I want to know what was that.
Maybe, cracked app, right?
Last thing I remember before it started to make sound like that is
1. 1st weird thing, my phone/dialer/contact/messaging icon were dissappeared from my drawer & dock. I cant receive & make call & sms ; the call & sms can come in, but nothing appear on my screen. So, temporary solution , I installed godialier/gocontact & gosms.
2. Then , I try to replace phone.apk and mms.apk manually using root explorer, but didnt help.
3. Try to restore from titanium backup also didnt do anything.
4. Because at that time l was in the office, so i just leave it like that with battery around 7%.
5. All of sudden, my phone which was in my pocket, give sound like that.

Sounds like a cracked/malicious/virus app.
I recommand flashing a complete new ROM to make sure you got rid of it.

Yes, I also thought like that. Already on new rom and scanned with 2,3 antivirus already.
Anyway, thanks everyone.
Just to inform, and beware of what you are installing.
But I'm still wondering which app did that. So careless of me.

Problem with gingervolt.... Pls help.

Well I've been running gingervolt on my phone and it has been running fine until now. Today my softkeys won't light up anymore unless I go to settings and click on the screen brightness that's when they come on but once it times out and goes black they won't come back on when I unlock it. Also when I received a call and slide the screen up for some reason I can't hear anything and the phone hangs up. Does anyone know what can I do to fix this issue? Thanks. Version 2.3.4 running gingervolt 1.3

This happened to me the first night gv 1.3 was released. It went away the next day though. Re-flash?

Ok. I will reflash and hopefully that would fix it

This happens on my phone once in a while. I just open up adjbrightness and problem solved.

This will sound weird but what I do when this happens (usually a restart of device) is bring the phone's screen to my laptop screen momentarily, or just hit it with a beam of light from my 700 lumen flashlight It's quick and easy

haha, very MacGyver...Going into Settings > Display and toggling auto brightness on/off would probably accomplish the same thing.

With everything that you've tried, it's starting to sound like it might be a hardware issue. If that's the case, you might have to send it in to get it fixed.

So should i restore to stock and see if that fixes the problem? I guess either way I need to restore to stock if I need to send it off to get fixed right?

Touch screen not responding sometimes

Hi ppl. I recently encountered this problem and Hv searched a lot but couldn't find a proper solution.
I pulled my Ph out of my pocket and had the pocket sensor app installed back then and the phone was getting locked and unlocked but I couldn't bypass the lock screen since the touch screen wouldn't respond. I could see everything else on the notification bar working like the gprs arrows and I even got a call when this happened but couldn't pick the call up too. The only way I could get out of it was to take the battery out. Now its been happening often and I heard the emmc chip gets fried if u keep taking the battery out when the Ph is on. Anyone else facing a similar problem??
I am rooted on 2.3.5

Did u try to lock n unlock it via the on/off button on top when it not responding?..

I had major problems when I was on 2.3.3 stock unrooted.
I had a lot of crap on it so maybe that was the problem.
Are you on a custom rom? If youre not, I would probably try a gingerbread custom rom and see if it still happens.
Also if you are scared of taking the battery out, you can hold power+vol down+vol up at the same time for a few seconds, and it will reboot

Try not to use that apps. See whether the same thing happen again or not.

Have you tried a factory reset?

I had it on unrooted stock optus rom.
I would change to a more optimised rom like ARHD or something

@nonverbose
I don't think it is that big of an issue for a factory reset but it happened again today and was fine after a few mins. Would you come to know what is causing this if I sent some kind of an error log or something. If yes pl tell me what I need to send. @marcj338
Does ARHD have internet pass through? I use my office network to download big games,etc so I need the feature. Hows ARHD better than the stock anyway?

Not sure about the internet pass through because I have never tried to use it so I dont know if its there
It is much smoother, Ive played with stock 3.0 and it lags and is a bit choppy
When I used ARHD, I found it a LOT smoother than stock, it has better battery life, and it more optimised. Even with OC is lasts longer. I would have kept it, but I didn't like the look of stock 3.0 compared to runnymede ports

The reason I suggested a factory reset is because I think you're experiencing major lag spikes, possibly due to background running tasks. Does it always happen when you have this pocket sensor app activated?

@markj338
I wanted to try out ARHD for a while but was unimpressed by CM so I thought of sticking to stock but later when I checked my friends Ph and saw the difference I wanted to go for it but now I think am gonna wait for ics cos I heard it's very stable. TX for ur time though! Appreciate it ..
@nonverbose
I think it's the pocket sensor but am not sure. I try out various combinations to get outta it. Sometimes I think its the go locker but I noticed 1 thing for sure ....it happens when it's really hot outside and the battery heats up too. Am trying to give as much info as possible!!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

Wow.....everytime I try to determine the problem as to why this is happening I come up with random ideas since noting used to work. Now on my way to work the same thing happened again. It is still not responding and am posting this from my office computer. I could unlock the go lock screen by the vol button which I had configured. I could see the internet pages loading up since I was browsing when it happened suddenly. The auto rotation also works and all buttons like home, menu, search are responding but it just doesnt seem to respond when I touch the screen. I googled it and found there is something called a touch input which might be and issue. I cant do anything to stop and restart the service since the touch doesnt work. Any suggestions?

Uninstall pocket sensor and go locker.

Really ...y do you think they are the problem.

Check where exactly is the proximity sensor and make sure nothing is blocking it (dirt) and/or is still exactly where it should be (if you drop a phone it might get dislocated). This would explain sudden unresponsiveness since phone might think it is in call mode (proximity sensor detects presence of your head and disables the screen while you are dialling).

I had go launcher n pocket sensor way before this started happening. I don't think that's the problem. Its something to do with the touch input but can't figure out the cause.
N yeah I remember dropping it once. My SD card is almost full since I got a lotta media n apps. Would buying a new high capacity SD card do the trick? I remember my laptop lagging due to an almost full hard disk ...

It happened again today. I received some bluetooth files and its not responding now. Menu buttons work but the touch is being a *****. It happens so randomly n it not even funny. grrrr

Phone call Speaker problem

Recently.. Whenever there is a received phone call.. When I answer it, the loud speaker is activated by it's own.. I don't know why.. It didn't do that before.. And it does that only with received calls.. Simple as it is, but it's really annoying and quite embarrassing.. especially when I'm in public transport.. So, any one knows how to fix that.. Or what is the problem??

It seems that the latest Chrome update causes that glitch, so try to uninstall the updates for it and if it still doesn't work, disable Chrome, restart phone and then use another browser till this is solved another way (another Chrome update that restores functionality).

We have 2 other threads about this issue, looks like is happening with almos everyone, so like our friend above said, deactivate chrome and clear you phone app data and cache, doing this your problem will be solved.

For what it's worth I deleted Chrome using TB and the problem persists, so it might not work for everyone.

You might be right, for instance, I still didn't disable Chrome, and got three calls today, everything was normal.
What I have disabled though, is Socialife and Smart Connect. Some users mentioned that after a phone restart, only the first incoming call goes to external speaker, the others are fine, after the first call.
Only thing we're sure of, this seems to have started happening to most of us at the same time.

Remember guys: after disable chrome did you cleaned data and cache from phone app? If you dont do this wont solve your problem.

z1 mic problem resolved
Hi guys...
i disabled chrome,clear data in app manager, then restart z1,problem resolved...
thank you
