I AM CURRENTLY USING T-MOBILE'S T-WING AND AM VERY SATISFIED/THANKFUL WITH ALL THE UPDATES THIS SITE HAS PROVIDED, (OVER CLOCKING, PAGE POOL SIZE, HTC HOME PAGE, vTAP VIDEOS, TCPMP etc..) HOWEVER I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS/IS A SMALL 'GLITCH' IN MY DEVICE EVEN BEFORE I HAD INSTALLED ANY OF THESE PROGRAMS.
-WHEN THE PHONES VOLUME SETTING IS ON 'LOUD' (VOLUME UP) I RECEIVE CALLS AND TEXT FINE BUT AFTER A WHILE THE VOLUME/SOUND GOES DEAD, THE CALLS/TEXT STILL COME IN BUT THERE IS NO SOUND, I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE PHONE SETTINGS (SETTINGS/PHONE) RESET THE RINGTONE AND HIT THE 'PLAY' BUTTON AGAIN SO THAT IT ACTUALLY PLAYS SOUND...ANY IDEAS OR HELP ON HOW I CAN FIX THIS, ITS REALLY ANNOYING TO SEE ALL THE MISSED CALLS AND TEXT THAT I NEVER HEAR BECAUSE OF THIS...
umm first off try typing w/o the caps
and the only thing i can think of is, if you're using custom ring tones from your memory card, and you receive a call or sms when the card is out, it jacks everything up.
so if you've ever found that your memory card suddenly doesn't read or something that maybe the culprit, i've found that when the physical memory on the phone >1mb there are problems reading the storage card

My phone has a very noticeable delay on incoming calls. I'll see it light up and flash for a bit, take a few seconds to get caller ID, then it will finally ring once before going to voicemail. All the while the caller is hearing the phone ring but I'm not...I tested it. Since I don't stare at my phone all day I have a high volume of missed calls because many times I only get the last ring. Any ideas what's going on? I tinkered with settings in Advanced Config and DiamondTweak. No dice. I'm using the stock Fuze Rom.
Isn't this normal behavior?
I've set my Kaiser on GSM mode and I can hear calls coming in on my computer's speakers a full 2-3 seconds before the phone actually rings.

I have the same problem (htc org. rom)
Maybe this will work
I noticed that when someone calls my phone, they get two rings before my ringtone turns on.
After a second, my Fuze's LED starts flashing, then my ringtone starts playing after another second.
I have an idea:
1. Go into "Start > Settings > Phone"
2. Go to the "Services" tab
3. Highlight "Call forwarding" and then click the "Get Settings..." button.
4. Change the "Forward after:" dropdown box to something higher (e.g. "30 seconds")
It won't help the ring delay, but I think this will give you a little more time before the call is sent to your voicemail. I haven't tried it, but let me know if that helps

I wouldn't call this normal. This is the first mobile phone that I've had that has had delays that long. If I didn't keep my phone next to me for most of the day, I'd probably miss more of my calls as well.

I agree with you, this lag is very big problem, I missed a lot of calls, most of people must call me again because they are forwarding to voicemail at first time before I find TP (I cannot change in forwarding to 30 sec.
I'm wondering how it is in Diamond.
This is very frustrating. Nothing seems to fix this problem. I've reduced the call ID match to five digits instead of eight. I've made sure that Ring Time is set to "without delay" in DiamondTweak. I'll try the idea to change the call forwarding time but this seems to be a major problem in the OS itself. With this issue, Voice Command problems, the GPS lag and other issues I might have to jump to another phone.
Do cooked ROMS have these same issues?
I've got the same issue.. using T.I.R. V8R ROM, so yes, this delay is present also on custom ROMS. It has to do with the dialer skin?
This was discussed in a thread on an app that causes the vibrate pattern to match the ring pattern in hacks & discussions (I think called VAlert). The vibrate pattern starts immediately and the ring is delayed so the app isn't perfect (unless you build a delay into the vibrate but that's separate). The solution seems to be an app from tweaks2k2.net that I hear removes the delay. This is an issue with all WM phones. I haven't tried tweaks2k2 but I hear it works.
the tweaks2k2 fix - to eliminate the 3 second ringer delay - didn't work for me. so i went into the network phone settings and set the call forwarding to 25 seconds (it was 10). that didn't fix the ringer delay but now at least my phone rings three or four times before going to voicemail. i guess that will have to do for now.

it don't work sorry
Doing some debugging, on the Fuze at least the ringer delay seems to be tied to the bloatedness of the dialer.. it has a whole bunch of imports so its loading alot of stuff up every time you get an incoming call.. I'm afraid the only solution for this will be a dialer that does not bring in those kind of dependancies (PTT, Video Share, G-Sensor, etc)
The fastest way to go would be using the default windows dialer, but you'd lose all that functionality.. but hey. It would ring instantly!
I'll look into stripping the dialer from my clean ROM and providing a cab..
Confirmed. Removed the AT&T dialer skin from my rom and called my phone, rang as fast as any other phone would.. So the dialer skin is indeed the culprit.
Dang AT&T. Dang them and all their bloatware.
I'm going to corporate store to complaint. To all of them within a 10 mile radios.
I've posted my Beta 1.5 with the dialer removed. It's not an official fix by AT&T, but it is a fix..
I'll see if I can whip up a .cab to stop the dialer from loading in the stock AT&T ROM, that should help there too.
i like this dialer...but not that much. how do i disable it? in advanced config, i saw an option to enable the phone dialer skin or the default windows mobile dialer. would switching to the default fix it without causing any other problems?
EDIT: switched to default dialer and that fixed it. it also seems to have fixed the problem of having to re-enter the data connection password after a soft reset.
This set of cab's should do the job for anyone who doesn't want to install Advanced Config (it's a single registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin - Enabled=0/1)
Wow it really is about two seconds before the phone rings. Hm I never missed a call yet on this phone. where do you keep your phone that it takes so long to answer it?
AT&T's network lets you set the number of seconds before the call rolls over to voicemail, as do others, I believe the default on AT&T is 20 seconds, with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 30, so if someone has it set to 5, that leaves only 3 seconds..
Of course they could just set it higher, but that's a different issue
So then a simple fix would be to go into your voicemail and set it to 22 seconds and then you still have the same time to pick up that phone. But still how does the 2 second dely really make you miss all them calls?
Does this happen to any one or is it just me?
I have an ordinary case for my Touch Pro. Almost 10 out of 10 times when the phone rings and I reach out to my phone, try to take it out - boom - the call becomes a missed call. I guess what is happening here is that once the phone rings, the screen is active and either your finger accidentally touches the volume key or any other key or even the screen, it makes it a missed call. It is very annoying and how to avoid this????
Thanks

there is a key disabler cab look for it
There are many options how to disable the touchscreen.
There was a topic not long ago about this.
Answerkey Disabler
PocketShield (I currently use this one)
TouchProLock
Sensorlock
Throttlelock
S2U2 (not recommended for TP, drains the battery for unknown reason)
All these deal with locking the TP.
Sorry for not posting links but I don't have much time. All of them are available on XDA though.
You do have the option of extending the time it takes for a call to go to voice mail, it can be extended up to 30 seconds. The option is under settings > phone > Services > Call Forwarding
There is also a lot of lag on between the time the caller's phone is ringing and you get a ring on the Fuze
I guess this is not because of the keys. Just keep the phone in front of you and try to call your phone and see your self, first you will see the incoming call indicator light, and after some time you will start hearing the ring tone. Now by the time you take the phone from the case - it's a miss call. I tried to search all over XDA but didn't find a way to start ringing immediately when call comes, I read some where that this is due to the dialer skin and by using default WM dialer this can be fixed. I didn't try this.

I think he was talking about the touchscreen being active on incoming calls.
If however the problem is in the delay, then the dialer skin is the key.
You have to change it to the WM default (it does work, the lag is almost gone) and have the ringtone in WAV format (not tested, I didn't bother to put any wavs).
if you get rid of the dialer and switch to WM
you will lose functionality including the symbol to show bluetooth being on or off
I downloaded and installed disableanswerkeys and it works fine. It took a while for me to understand the cryptic question it asks in the beginning - i get stumped if there are two negatives in a sentence So It is on and i tried and it works ok. I also downloaded sensorlock and throttlelock. Yet to try these ... will post my comments.
the lag in answering the call - i believe there is a separate thread about that, right?
Thanks for the help

LOL, that's what happened to my bluetooth......thanks
Maybe somebody here has the programming skillz needed to make this app, but I want to be able to one touch any hardware button to silence a notification AFTER it rings. All the answers i get are to trim my ringtones down more, or get these apps that set up profiles. I like my ringtones where they are, and the profile thing is not what what i need as i have different times for things each day so....
the problem scenario:
I am sitting in a meeting-class-dinner-movie... Etc Etc, anything like that and BAM, I get a text message. It so turns out I forgot to silence my phone before, so here I am with "Dancing Queen" from ABBA playing in my pants.
Current method to deal with said problem:
Either stand up, or lean way back, Pull phone out of pants, Press a hardware button to unlock, Slide to unlock, Enter design code thingy or pin code, and finally, Pull down notification bar to silence "Dancing Queen"
Idea App solution: Hear notification (SMS, MMS, Email, etc) ringtone play, Frantically reach down and press ANY hardware button and instantly silence the ringtone.
Can anybody do this?

DOn't know what phone you're using, pretty much every Android phone I've seen has something like this.
Don't know which phone u are using but my Desire is muted when I press VolDown during an incoming call....
DROID X: and yes, during phone calls, that works. But I said notifications. Emails SMS, MMS, etc.....

The subject basically says it. I can't find a tutorial for my specific phone the Sprint Samsung Transform. I have downloaded my songs, trimmed them down, created the ringtones folder on the root of my sd card, and dropped the mp3s in there. went back to phone settings sounds and notifications. changed my phones ringtone, that worked. now i want to change the sound the plays when i receive a new text, but i cannot find the option to do that on the phone. am i missing something or is there a hack or anything that will enable this?
i found a sort of fix for this. change your notification ringtone to whatever you want your text message ringtone to be. the only problem is it makes that same sound for every notification. most noticeably when you plug your phone ino the charger. thats the best ive figured out tho.
I have a Samsung Droid Charge. Whenever USB Mass Storage Mode is enabled the ringtone it uses for notifications, incoming calls, anything defaults to this slightly annoying ringing tone. The tone itself I don't actually mind all that much since I realize that all my custom ringtones are stored on the MicroSD card which is not available to the phone when Mass Storage Mode is enabled.
My issue with it is the LENGTH at which it rings. If I receive a text while I've got the phone plugged in to the computer and am dinking around with the files on the mSD card it just rings and rings and rings. In fact, I got a text message just as I started typing this post and it's STILL ringing right now as I type this sentence. Apparently it won't stop ringing until I actually do something to acknowledge the notification.
So, my main question is this - Is there a way to change the length that it rings? I most definitely do NOT need a five minute long tone to let me know that I've received a text (plus it drives me nuts to have it ring and ring and ring until I finally grab the phone and open up/acknowledge whatever the notification may be) or have had a reminder from my calendar pop up. My normal text ringtone (the Druuge victory ditty from HyperMelee for any of you that are Star Control II [best game EVER, BTW] fans) in is all of 3 seconds long and that's quite sufficient.
Is there perhaps a way to copy my regular notification ringtone to the phone's built-in memory and tell it to use that when mass storage is connected? In fact, it'd be nice to copy all of my active ringtones to the phones onboard memory. If this happens to be possible, then I figure that it'd ring like it normally does when USB Mass Storage mode is enabled. If it's not possible to copy anything to the phone's onboard memory then I'm perfectly willing to settle for just shortening the length at which that damned Storage Mode tone happens to play.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is it unique to the Samsung Droid Charge?
No way to change this?
Can you move your ringtones to your phone memory? Is your phone rooted?

I just installed the leaked official Gingerbread ROM, and while it says it's rooted (the filename at least does) it didn't appear to be so. I just installed the debloated version of the ROM on the same page there.
Do the rooting methods shown out there depend on having a specific ROM installed?
