Its driving me crazy!! Use phone with Interruptions set to "Always" and later turn phone back on and its set to "Priority Only" I have no schedule set so its not that. This same issue after searching online is mentioned many times but no one seems to have an answer to why it only affects some Lollipop users.
Anyone have some ideas on what to try and fix this?

Hi guys,
I have a strange problem with the TYTN II. I put it to vibration using the HTC home ant it is OK, vibrating when somebody calls. Then suddenly, without me changing anything, it starts ringing as if I changed it to "Normal" profile. When I look at the HTC home I see it still has the "Vibrate" profile selected. I have to press on the "Vibrate" again to make it go to vibration again.
This strange thing happens randomly (or at least I cannot find what causes it), sometimes when I have used the phone, and sometimes even when I haven't.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks.

Have you gone to Settings>Phone and set the Ring type to "vibrate and ring"?
You can also use Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications and set "Phone: Incoming call" to "Vibrate and ring"
Hope this helps
Yes, I have all the settings. I change between the "Vibrate" and "Normal" profiles when I am in meetings (vibrate only) or generally (normal, ring + vibrate). The problem is that when I set the vibrate profile, the phone automatically rings sometimes, with sound, which I don't want in a meeting.
reminders?
This problem has just started to appear on my Kaiser. It seems to show up after a reminder appears. I have turned off all sounds and reminders except calendar reminders but vibrate still gets changed to ringing. I have also used Kaiser Tweak to change the defaults.
I don't what triggered this but it seemed to start when I uninstalled FlexMail 4 and then installed Flexmail 2007 but that may be coincidence.
A real problem in meetings or in a hearing where an official can really get upset over a ringing phone.
I still don't have a solution. I don't use FlexMail (any version) so I don't think this is the problem. It could be the calendar but I have not found any connection yet.
Work around
This is by no means perfect but it will prevent embarassing moments. Try recording a "silent" ring tone and using that for your ringer. Then all you miss are phone calls. They, of course, go to voice mail.
I had a similar issue, however it was in reverse, by once choosing the automatic profile in the HTC home.
Basically the automatic feature remains active after selecting it once, so after the reminder, even if it doesn't have time if your next block of time happens to be "free" it will revert it back to ringing.
Unfortunately I never found a solution and now have a new Kaiser, which I have avoided selecting it since getting the phone.
bluetooth too
Yesterday while on a call using a handsfree bluetooth device, a calendar reminder popped up and my bluetooth connection was dropped simultaneously. The call was not dropped and I was able to turn on the handfree connection again using the menu.
Which has led me to search for these type of problems. I found a thread that addresses a way to turn off push mail notifications. I understand the same "fix" works with calendar notifications.

Here is a thread on notifications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330872
I am now sure that the problem is connected with the calendar. It appears when I make some changes in an event (not always but in about 90% of the cases). I am synchronizing with Outlook and I think the problem appears when I change an event that was already synchronized. By "changing" I mean even dismissing the alarm when it goes off.
Any ideas what I could do?
so currently i use the app "Do Not Disturb" which sets a timer (I have it from 10pm-5am) so that my phone gets switched to silent while I sleep and I won't get woken by my friends drunkenly calling me all night long... what I'm wondering, is if there is any app like Do Not Disturb, except with some kind of white list, so I can set it so if my Mom calls (might be an emergency) it will still ring. any ideas? i've looked but haven't been able to find something like that.

Maybe setup a rule in Locale to ring at maximum when a certain contact calls?

Haven't seen anything like that, but seems like a perfectly reasonable feature.
Maybe the dev would be receptive to adding such a feature if you contact them?
second this request.
even the cheap nokias and sony ericssons have it. been missing it since I started using wm/android. found some sw that did it on wm, but they all sucked
with the google contacts groups, this shouldn't be to difficult, should it? I would like to have it implemented in an app like 'profiles'
Foxyring. Amazing app. Everything you want and more.
It's main purpose is to every so often(user adjustable) turn on the mic and listen to the ambient noise wherever you are(even if the phone is in your pocket) and raise or lower the volume of your ringtones. I have noticed no effect on my battery at all.
Second it comes with a widget to silence your phone for a period of time. Like you use for the movies.
It has an option for sleeping hours. Always be silent between blah and blah.
And then it has exactly what you are looking for. An emergency contacts list that will ring regardless of the ringtone status.
Also has a location aware setting like locale for other ringtone options. i.e. change your ringtone from "BOOTY EVERYWHERE" to Bethovens 5th when you are at your moms automatically.
App placed in top three for ADC2. It deserved it. I have not adjusted my rigtone volume in the past 3 weeks and it has been perfect everytime.
Phone is stock. What happens is, regardless of the sound profile, if I get a phone call my phone will ring at max volume. Right as the call comes in the phone auto-switches to a normal profile and then switches back to whatever it should be after the call is completed. Text messages and notifications all work correctly with the sound profile settings.
I've tried changing the profile through a widget, the volume rocker, and through setting>sound. Nothing works. Anyone else having this problem or have any ideas?
bump
Interesting timing, I just observed this with my One today at work. The phone was in silent mode and started ringing, I took it out and ignored the call, when I looked at the profile it showed silent mode. I did not notice if it showed silent mode even as it was ringing.
I am using Llama for location based profiles but it showed the correct location and profile through that time period, so I don't think it was responsible.
So I figured it out, at least for my case. I had to wipe the cache partition. I didn't realize you could do this in a stock phone, but I guess you learn something new everyday.
I attached the .docx file that HTC support gave me explaining how to do it for anyone else that has this problem.
I'm on Nougat 7.1.1 now.
I used to have tasks for turning down volume at home and at the office, and also turn the ringer off in the night so it only vibrates. A couple months ago I started noticing some weird behaviour where the phone went to vibration mode when I left the house which I didn't intend for it to do and which it hadn't done before. But it wasn't too bad, so I carried on. Recently though, I started walking to and from my office and listening to stuff using my bluetooth earphones. I noticed that, after a while, presumably when switching off the 'home' or 'office' profiles, my earphones gave me a loud beep and then the volume would be turned up all the way. Not great for my ears. So I started to think something's wrong with my tasks. I ended up turning off all volume settings in every task, but the behaviour wouldn't change. I figured I might've broken Tasker because I used to restore Tasker data from Titanium backup on every Android version upgrade. I've always been on Cyanogenmod and now on LOS. So I used Tasker's in-built backup mechanism and reinstalled it, restored the backup, but the problem still persists. Now, I'm at a loss.... Do you guys have any idea what might be wrong?
Are you sure this is caused by Tasker?
Edit: I did the test. Thes issue doesn't occur with Tasker disabled.
I'm not 100% sure, but the timing of the behaviour matches up with the usual profile switching timing. I don't know what else I might've set up that changes the volume. I'm going to disable Tasker and make sure it's still happening.
I tested if the issue occurs with Tasker disabled. It doesn't.
Enable Tasker and start disabling profiles one by one until the misbehavior stops.
Yes. Will do.
Hi I have a problem with my TA-1012, it makes a two tone sound every couple of seconds when the screen is on and I just cannot figure out what is causing it. It's not notification sound and there are no notifications in the log. I think it might be disconnect sound but I'm not 100% sure. The only way to stop it is to go to airplane mode, but turning networks manually does not have the same effect. Power cycling the phone does not help either. It is very annoying and I run out of ideas how to fix it. I want to avoid factory reset but that might be the only option I have left.
I'm running stock Android Pie 9 with the latest update from 2020.
