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.

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.

didi you installed pointUI and the SystemInternalsV2????
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.
So I've searched all over to try and figure this one out, but there's a lot of similar issues and none that I could find that are the same thing. The description might end up long because I want to be absolutely clear about what's happening (since there were a lot of really similar issues I found when I searched).
I have a Motorola Droid running CM 7 (.0.3, i think), but the problem was also there on the last version of CM I was running (6.something, probably). The first time I wiped and installed CM7 the problem seemed to be solved, but I screwed up the account setup and on the 2nd install the problem was back.
ANYWAY, the actual problem is this:
My phone's sound will NOT turn off. I can turn it all the way down with the volume rocker, and it will show the Vibrate icon, but the volume bar will not go down that last little bit. It does not vibrate. It does not go to silent. If I turn off sound from the lock screen, it doesn't do anything except show a vibrate icon at the top. The volume level remains the same. Same goes for the sound toggle on the home screen menu. It just doesn't do anything except change the icon to vibrate, silent, whatever.
The only way I can get it to go to silent/vibrate is through the Sound menu in settings. Even then, I can't just check the Silent Mode box, I have to go to the volume dialog box and manually drag it all the way to zero. Then, if I hit volume up on the rocker or turn the sound up in any other way, I have to go back to Settings to change it again.
I'm going crazy trying to solve this. I've wiped my phone. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since everything is working except the switch to vibrate/silent from sound-on mode. I've tried everything I can think of. I've had the phone for almost 2 years now, and I'm generally good at fixing this type of thing, or at least finding the answer on Google. Has anyone had this issue?

A good way to try and debug the issue would be to install Widgetsoid 2.x(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result) and place a switcher on your homescreen with the different sound options such as silent and vibrate. Then, toggle those switches and see if your status bar icon changes, and if the phone is actually in vibrate or silent mode.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest to try another ROM, or perhaps it's a hardware issue.
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know the results.
Go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Sound -> Silent State (check)
I have a Sony XPLOD MEX-BT...something something and the music streaming is great when my phone is running GB, but under ICS, any rom I use the music streaming is rubish, and if I unlock the phone and do anything with it whilst it's playing music via a2dp the volume jumps about up and down until I lock the phone and put it down again. I do not experience the same issues when I pair it with a car at work (Toyota Yaris) it seems to be able to A2DP just fine with ICS, its really weird
Currently running Rum Float b4
Anyone else experience this?
There do seem to be problems with A2DP/AVCRP on ICS. Personally I have connectivity problems if the device attempts to initiate the connection with the phone instead of vice versa. See also http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28347
AVCRP I don't really care about, I have my phone on a windscreen mount for GPS and I can leave it on the media player if I really want to see that, I just really want the music to not skip like I'm jogging with a DiscMan
I'm using the same Sony with Bluetooth running dark raider 1.5.2 and I use it everyday works awesome I'm using launcherpro with slacker radio or doubletwist my car has a good sound system and I can crank it up with no issues I use avcrp too
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Ive got the same issue.
Have an Alpine CDE-133bt. Phone will either connect to media or phone mode only...not both...WTF
Of course in the focus i have with sync i dont have this issue...but the audio skips once in a while...ics screwed something up.
I was able to fix the issue following this method:

Temptation to root... rising! Best reason to yet.
(Just wondering where it stands in terms of warranty in the UK- whether it's the common sense "if you break it in the process it's your problem" or the rumoured "warranty gone no matter what" that has been reported elsewhere)
I've had a similar problem with Pandora and a bluetooth headset. After some amount of time, the playback seems to pause very briefly about once a second. Turning off WiFi (with mobile data off too) makes the problem disappear instantly, and it does not come back for a minute or two.
Sometimes I get a "Bluetooth headset connected" toast message, and the icon changes appropriately, but the headphones don't appear in the "Paired devices" list and the audio plays through the phone's speaker.
These same headphones worked great with my Aria (CM7.1, 7.2 nightly) and an old Evo 4 (CM7.1).
I've been a little reluctant to root, but this sort of thing will help make the decision.
Its silly not to root....just say'n
I reported this to HTC, and got this response. So far, it's improved...
HTC said:
To wipe the cache partition you will need to get to the recovery menu by way of the factory reset menu. You will not be performing a factory reset, and none of your data will be lost as a part of this particular wipe. To get to the factory reset menu, perform the following steps:
1. Turn your phone all the way off and remove then reinsert the battery.
2. With the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button and while you have this held in, briefly press the Power button just long enough for the device to respond (keep the Volume key held in). The phone will display a white screen with three green androids across the bottom on skateboards. When you see this screen you can release both buttons.
3. On this screen, use the Volume Down button to highlight the RECOVERY option, then press Power to select it.
At this point the phone should reboot, but go to a black screen with a picture of the phone on it and a red triangle. When you get to this screen, do the following to pull up the recovery menu and perform the following:
1. Hold Volume Up and press Power briefly and the recovery menu should appear.
2. In this menu, use Volume Down to highlight the "Wipe cache partition" option, Then Power to select it. The cache wipe will take about thirty seconds to one minute, maybe longer.
3. Once the wipe is complete it will take you back to the recovery menu. Press Power to select "Reboot system now" this option and the phone will boot up like normal.

I didn't know the stock recovery had a menu.
Edit: It worked for a while, but started skipping again.
Maybe if we all lodge a case about this they'll fix it an push out an update?
Hello, somehow I believe that nobody had a similar issue or actually knows a possible solution to my problem, but hey let's give it a roll!! I'm running 4.4.2 stock google edition, have a couple backups made with the latest version of clockworkmod, and now had my htc one replaced duo to camera issues. Went ahead and brought the brand new htc one to the same state the old one was, so root, restore the backup and so on.
Everything sames to work aside of one thing, in some applications the volume slider bar that shows up when you change volume is getting stuck/frozen. So basically when I press volume + or - while being on the homescreen, then everything works as expected, the volume bar shows up, there's the volume beep, the slider moves, and I can also slide it by hand. When I try the same within some apps (for example a game or radio app) then the volume does actually change but the volume slider pops up and doesn't move, the volume beep is also missing or just 1 time there. When I try to slide it by hand, it doesn't work, tho I can see that it blinks each time I touch it (touch animation). So any ideas? I've try'd clearing cache and davlink.. maybe I have to clear cache of some services? Or something like that?
From quite some time i have been having this problem, when if I wake my device after about an hour of off-screen time, my buttons act funky. For example when I go into the menu and try to back, it just vibrates once and nothing happens. After that i can neither press it again nor it vibrates. Same with Home button. I have to mash them/swipe them a couple of times for it to get it fixed and this whole thing lasts like 10 minutes. It's fine afterwards. It's not ROM related since I've went to stock full locked then installed 5.0.1 GPE Fresh. I had the issue on my last ROM (SkyDragon) as well and it really pisses me of. I am about to turn on the nav bar but I will be better off if i fixed it. Any suggestions ?
I had the same problem on my old Xperia. You have to disable vibrations. Write here if it works
Based on how random it occurs I can't tell for sure but it does make it better. Though I don't feel the good response like with vibrations
