Alarm volume doesn't work

my alarm volume doesn't seem to work, i have the volume turned on, i have the volume cheked in sounds and notifications. I worked before, the only thing i do is turn the phone on vibrate when i go to work and turn the volume back on when i get off, i've been doing this every since i got the phone in november, now all of the sudden the volume doesn't want to work on teh alarm when i have the volume on, when i go to the alarm i get the popup that says make sure the volume is turned on in the sounds and notifications settings, which it is. i did a soft reset that didn't work, i then took out the battery and sim and put them back in thinking the phone just needed to clear itself or what ever kind of like shutting down a pc completely, and that didn't work either, any ideas on this? also every since taking out the battery and sim card, i now i have a blue circle in the top bar next the atenna were if i push it, it brings up the option to ativate PTT anyone know how to get rid of this?

anyone? i managed to get teh second part were i get the blue icon on the top bar to go away, but the alarm part i can not figure out.

Perhaps you should try custom alarm applications like Pocket WakeUp or Mortplayer or something the like.
Most of them can override volume control to a fixed point (even if you put your Kaiser on vibrate, the alarm app starts itself and sets the volume to a chosen strength, like 50%)

I had sound problems once. It happened when I set a music program to associate with mp3's (default is Windows Madia Player), once I removed the association, all played normal again.
I think I changed it with the back Advanced Configuration Tool.
Or try your alarm with a wav or mwa file, perhaps you'll get sound then.

No sound
I've had my Tilt for 2 days, and since I flashed the latest Dutty 6.1 ROM I have no sound from alarms, music, sliding keyboard, phone ringer...nothing. I can hear the other caller talking and they can hear me. My phone vibrates but does not ring, even though I have it set for vibrate and ring. Can anyone help?

Phone ring gone

Dear All,
For reason unknow, the phone ring gone. Vibrate mode work and if i select ring mode, vibrate comes out.
Have try the system setting. The ringtone function test mode also gone. No test tone can be played even for the default ring tone.
Any suggestion you can give me ? Hard resetting?
Thanks in advance

usually when my sound stops working i just have to soft reset so try that and also maybe a different ringtone

is this another of those headphone issues?
plug in and out your headphones several times, the X1 might think they are connected so doing this might solve it.
or just try turning the system volume up using the volume keys

​thanks will try so, if not, then hv my first hard reset !!!

Might also be file associations ...
My ringtone went silent and when I looked with a file explorer app all my mp3's were missing an association (clicking the file did not play it but gave a message saying no application is associated)
My solution was to restore the association -I used SKTools
Just thought it might be that ...worth a try

hard reset solve the problem and i also downloaded the latest software from se, now i can use EDGE to surf, much faster internet speed than before (can't remember the software version, but worth a try 2)

Bump
I have had the same issue for the last 2 days. I have tried everything I could think of and hard reset is not an option. Maybe someone has an idea about what's wrong?
Test mode doesn't work.
When I click "ok" to set the ringtone our favourite four-coloured wheel pops up, spins for a couple of seconds and then it reverts back to the ringtone settings screen.
I deleted my most recent apps and games. I tried different sound files, checked the associations, cleared all the junk from the phone, etc, etc.
Official UK R3A ROM.

Facing the same problem previously.
What I did is increase the volume for both device & phone in speaker icon.
Noticed that I set the phone volume to the lowest range previously.
1. Device icon is for notification such as when you receive text msg.
2. Phone icon is for ringer volume.
Just tap on the speaker icon & you will see it.

lolz. That's the first thing we try.
I found that PhoneEx wasn't agreeing with the defaukt phone manager haha. Set the ringtone through the default manager as well, that is the solution. You can always uninstall PhoneEx, but I like it too much.

i have the same problem and found out that the media player cannot playback my sound files as well. The strange thing is, that i can play all the ringtones and sounds with the mort player...???
So it seams that the problem is caused by the media player, if i try to start the media player directly it doesn´t work either (without any error message).
Anyone an idea to solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance,
Hakamuri

One month ago, my X1 went back from support (case crack) but I noted that all sounds were gone (ring, music, etc): so they repaired the case but caused problem to the speaker. Of course it's in warranty and they fixed their fault: ready in only 2 days.

msolcia... did u kno what they did to fix it? i have same prblm after replacing my case....

[Q] Galaxy Tab automatic silent mode?

Hi guys!
I've been reading and searching this forum for a few days and I can't find anything that is related to the problem I'm having right now with my Galaxy Tab.
As of right now, whenever I receive any phone call on my Tab, it automatically switches to silent mode (crossed speaker icon on notification bar). It drives me crazy as I can't hear the ringtone whenever someone calls me, even though it's not on silent mode at the first place. The weird thing is it automatically switches back to normal mode when the call ended.
I've been missing too many calls because I can't hear it ringing. I already pressed the power button and made sure the phone is not on silent mode, and tried calling the Tab using my home phone, and it switches to silent mode when the call arrives.
Anyone have a solution to this? Please help. I'm on wits end here!

Download audio manager to see what all the different volume levels are set too. Might be something funny going on

I have installed audiomanager and checked that none of the volume levels are zero or set to silent. This is really frustrating.
Is there any way to soft reset the Tab without losing all the installed apps and data?

I have different problem related to silent mode.
When I am in silent mode, all the notification sounds are off but then when I play games, the sound is on. I have to go into setting to set "media voume" to zero manually if i want to play game wihtout sound.
This is kinda inconvient, I suppose silent mode mean silent everything.

It's kind of funny that on a number of the Droid ROM forums people are asking for this as a *feature* to avoid the annoying vibration that incoming messages and other notifications make when on a call.

I have the same problem. All the volume controls are high but ringer don't sound. any idea?

Be sure to check ALL the settings in ALL the settings and apps that pertain to anything that has sound.
This includes all the games, alarm clocks, video recorders, video players, music players, radios, etc. I had a similar problem, and this approach seemed to help.

[Q] Just rooted and am now finding bugs with lockscreen and bluetooth

Just rooted 5 days ago with AOSP baseband version 2.42.02.10.29, Kernel Version 2.6.29.2, Mod version aospMOD 0.9.9.2 and am just finding my phone is bugging out!
OK!
1. The lock screen. Initially to unlock the phone, press on it and slide it to the right. Now, when I press on it, instead of being able to slide it, it jumps around to the left back and forth and is VERY difficult to slide to the right. It acts like it's avoiding me and trying to escape. Took me over a minute to unlock my phone this morning. When I first rooted, it was easy. Now, not so much.
2. Thrilled that I can now voice-dial with my motorola blue-tooth, I am getting the weirdest thing. When my blue tooth is paired and connected, if someone calls, the phone doesn't ring at all, it just rings through the bluetooth (well, the voice notifies me) and I get "call on line one". I have set my contacts for individual ringers so I know who's calling by listening to the song, but now, no ring at all through the phone. Phone is completely silent. If I unplug the bluetooth, the phone rings, but when bluetooth on, no ring. This never happened before. I have triple-checked all the settings and cannot make sense of this. Before, I could have the bluetooth on, and the phone would ring according to the individual ringers.
3. When someone calls and I talk to them through bluetooth, if they hang up and I don't immediately end the call through the bluetooth, my music player leaps into life and starts playing through the blue tooth. Not fun to get a deafening song blasted through your eardrums - this is the music player that was loaded when I rooted, I have again checked all settings and cannot figure out why this happens. So now, if I don't end the call immediately manually, a song starts blasting, and I have to unlock the phone (which is tricky at the moment), open up the music player and manually stop the song and exit out of music player.
My loaded apps are as follows (ones I got from Marketplace):
adobe reader
alarm clock
Astrid tasks
B-Folders
Barcode scanner
convertpad
google sky map
home switcher
latitude
maps (google maps)
memory (game)
Multicon
navigation
news and weather
places
Shootme
Solitaire
Swiftkey
Titanium Backup
Uninstaller
Vizbattery
Wordup! (game that I am absolutely hooked on)
Yelp
Thoughts anyone??????

try a full wipe and reflash the rom/gapps, etc.

Thanks. I might try that if I get desperate, but it's such a hassle, wiping everything and then getting the phone back to the way I like it. As a last resort, sure... but I'll see what happens. Just so you know, suddenly, after not using my phone most of the day, the ring tone suddenly started working, so that with the blue tooth on, the phone's ring tone actually rang - so that's a good thing, even though at the moment, I can't unlock it at all - the unlock button just leaps away from me when I touch it. oh well.

Any progress on it now that a few days have passed?

[Q] Notifications won't vibrate

I've had this problem for about a week now. For some reason, no matter what text message app I use, non of my notifications will vibrate. I've uninstalled every app I installed since it started happening, but no luck. I don't know what's causing it! A few days ago notifications returned back to normal, but then I got a text today that didn't vibrate.
Also, Settings > Sound > Vibrate is set to always, both in the general settings and in Go SMS, but it doesn't vibrate in either silent or ringing mode.
Info:
Build: Cognition 4.5.3
Stock firmware
Thanks for your help!

I'm having the same problem. Happened out of nowhere and is starting to drive me crazy. I didn't change any settings and all vibration/notification settings for my phone and my texting app are set properly. It has to be something with the system because my volume control app showed that vibration was off for all notifications even tho it was turned on in settings. I uninstalled that app...still no luck
Anyone have a suggestion?

Were you able to turn it back on in the volume app? I know Sound Manager will let you toggle it. I have had this issue in the past as well; I turned it back on with Sound Manager and it worked properly afterward. In that program, hit menu and there's a vibration settings menu.
