I recently built a ROM using mUn's 5.2.968 (Build 17217) and the kitchen. It has been working fine but today I managed to hit the volume control and put the phone on vibrate. Anyway I put it back on ring but it seems to be stuck on Vibrate. I have the volume control set to the middle for the PDA, and one step higher for the phone, also with the phone screen on and click menu, options it is set to Ring Type 'Ring' and Ring Tone to one of the built-in files. However it refuses to ring when I get an incoming call; it just vibrates
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy
This actually happens periodically in all WM6 roms I've tried. For me, I've only noticed this happen when I've pressed and held the Comm button to switch to Vibrate and then switch it back. To fix the problem you can either go to Settings > Phone and play your ring tone (just hit the play arrow) or do a soft reset.
I used to see this more on NTS and XPlore 1.1 than I've seen on Faria Vanilla (not sure I ever saw it there) or on my Crossbow Reloaded (I've seen it once) but to be honest after realizing it appeared to be tied to the press and hold of the COmm button to enable and disable vibrate, I've pretty much quit using that feature. I don't know that I've ever seen it happen if I drag the volume (not ring volume but phone volume) to Vibrate or off and then back.
I've chalked it up to one of the "bugs"/"features" of WM6...

I just received my 750v today. The problem I'm having is that when a call comes in, I'm used to pressing volume up or down key to have the ringer and/or vibrate silenced. This works fine on my treo 650. When I do this on my 750v, it just lowers or raises the volume but that's it. My ROM is 1.12.0a.00. Any ideas on this??
I don't own one yet but I know there's a switch on top to totally silence the unit, but vibrate will continue to work as long as it is activated. This has been a trademark of Treos.
Every treo I've had, I've been able to silence both the ringer and the vibration simply by pushing either the volume or up down key. Yes the switch silences the entire unit but I like silencing individual calls so the ringer isn't going off more than what is needed to let me know someone is calling.
For Treo 750v, it is very straight forward but it took me a week to realize it. To silence the ringer when calls come in, just press any key on the QWERTY keypad.
On my treo 650, I could silence the ringer by simply pressing the volume key. This was very convenient as I didn't have to take the phone out of the case which saved time as well as having the ringer go off minimally. If I have to take the phone out of my pocket or a case, the ringer basically goes off long enough for EVERYONE in the room to notice. Anyone know of any fixes for this? My treo 650's original firmware did the same thing, then I updated the firmware and voila, it worked the way I wanted it to.
Silence a Treo 750V
In order to be able to silence and stop vibrations of the 750V you will need to do the following
from the main screen select preferences then phone settings, this as long as you have a sim card in the phone will take you to settings screen you then need to select the ring tones link for incoming calls, you then need to work your way through the list of possible events suck as phone:known caller, phone:missed call, phone:unknown caller and then delsect the vibrate when ringer is off option, this will stop the phone vibrating when ringer off and funny enough ...
To silence a call on the 750 (Cingular), all you do is press the spacebar.
I wake up today feeling like sharing
setVol is a really simple app to lock the HD2 volume.
As far as I know, there is no quick/simple way to lock the Volume buttons while the phone is off (screen off), so I wrote this simple tool to "lock" the volume.
It runs every minute (doesn't matter the powerstate of the phone) using "CeSetUserNotificationEx" API.
When it runs it does the following.
1. Gets the current volume
2. Gets the "stored/desired volume" from the registry (HKCU\SetVol\CurVol)
3. Checks if the phone is "on"
4. If the current volume is different than the stored one, and the phone is "On" it vibrates to let you know that the "desired" volume has been stored, and updates the registry.
If the volume is different, but the phone is in any other powerstate (screen off, etc) it set the volume to the stored one.
So in theory, you won't be able to "accidentally" change the volume when the screen is off.
The setVol.exe must be installed in "\Program Files\setVol\" directory. No cab, just an .exe.
To "uninstall" just delete the whole directory
Very strange to see no comments here at all... no one used it yet?
I definitely have this problem on my HD2! the volume buttons are not locked when the screen is locked/off, and that makes it go into silent when i want it loud, and goes into loud when i am in a meeting!
will try this on now! thanks for sharing!
I wrote that one in a couple of hours (right, minutes, but that sounds too quick ) so don't expect it to be utterly brilliant, but at it does the job I wanted, it keeps the volume where I want.
I use S2U2 and don't have that problem.
I sometimes inadvertently turn ringer volume down low, and then forget to turn it back up to full and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) however it wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level i.e. 20% however I cannot find any such widget. It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7
?Is this the correct section to ask for help on this problem?
I have an difficulty with my ringtone on my Android 2.2.1 on no-name Chinese hardware
Whenever I put it into silent mode (for example from the lock screen (stock Android lock screen), it nicely goes silent, and shows the appropriate vibrate notification icon.
But if I undo that, even though the volume settings go to max again and the vibrate notification goes away, I still get no sound when someone calls. In fact, if I press volume up, I see a warning that "Silent ringtone selected" as subtext to the volume slider.
I have to go to my audio file and hard set it as ringtone again to get it to make a sound again while ringing.
Anyone recognizes this issue and knows how this is caused, and/or how I can prevent it?
I realize it may be some script or config file the Chinese messed up, so some hints as to what script or config file for this may help me also.
PS: I did search the net and XDA for "silent ringtone" but to no avail
I've been looking all over xda but can't seem to find the next thing:
Is there allready an app or a homebrew app available that let's WP users mute their phone very easily? As well as sound ass vibration.
It is pretty annoying I always have to change it in the settings.
Regards!
There is a volume-control app (in the dev&hacking sub-forum, I believe) but I admit to finding the request odd; why not just hold down the Volume Down button? If you have vibration enabled and want to turn that off too, you'll also need to turn on the screen for a sec (no need to unlock it, though).
Normally my phone is on vibrate + ring
When I'm in a normal meeting it is on Vibrate only
When I'm asleep/ important meeting/... its muted completely. No vibrating, no ringing.
It is pretty easy to switch between the first two. But to get it completely muted I always have to go via the ringtone settings.
If I hold the volume down to zero it will always keep on vibrating. I don't seem to get your point?
Ah, my bad. It used to toggle between Vibrate and Silent when you tapped the button on the screen. Now it just toggles the ringer; you can't disable the vigrate from there anymore. Dumb...
