So I have just purchased an unlocked 750 and love it, but the rings are...interesting. I have scoured here, Google and xda-dev but searches brought up nada....so, here it goes. The stock ringtones as well as the .mp3 files I loaded seem to have like a 3-4 second gap between when they play...i.e. if there is a call coming it, the phone will play the sound for 1 second (or however long it might be) and then wait 3-4 seconds before playing it again. This doesn't seem to be an issue with my friends' 650 or 700w/wx. This is really fairly annoying as it tends to make me miss calls...
I have a Cingular branded phone running WM5, if that means anything.
Thanks!
You don't say whether your Treo is running WM5 or WM6 - which may or may not have an effect on this suggestion.....in either case, you'll need a registry editor installed to make the changes (try PHMRegedit from HERE).
Here's the information ("borrowed" from the XDA Wiki ) you need:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To have the device 'Vibrate and Ring' simultaneously:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "av0pw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

Hopefully, you can make sense of all that - I'm guessing from what you said in your post, your device currently has the "w3" value to make it wait for 3 seconds?
Hope this helps,

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?
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with controlling the ringer programmatically.
I've got a program where I want to turn off the ringer but if high priority calls come in allow the phone to ring. I've got the code working that changes the volume properly (using waveOutSetVolume) and have the code to identify the incomming call [SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PhoneIncomingCallerNumber)]. The problem I'm having is that when I get the call and turn on the volume (can see the icon change from mute to enabled), the phone still doesn't ring. I assume it's because the phone app was in silent mode at the time.
I could play the sound myself (assuming I can find the current ring tone), but I don't want to have to manage them answering the phone and stopping it. So, is there a way to have the phone app actually ring correctly.
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure why this was moved from Development and Hacking to General Questions. I'll try to give a little more detail.
I'm writing a .NET Compact Framework application. This application is controlling the volume of the phone (HTC Touch Pro right now, but will expand to others). I am currently using the waveOutSetVolume function (via P/Invoke) to set the phone to silent (Volume = 0). However, if certain high priority calls are identified, I am setting the volume back to the original settings.
The problem is that even though I have restored the volume (and can verify that the volume has been set), the phone does not begin ringing since the call is already ringing. My assumption is that some system event has been missed or ignored. I would really like to reissue that system event so that all of the "work" is still performed by the phone application and not by my application. If the system is managing the ringing, I won't have to worry about whether they answered it or ignored it, just that I let it ring through.
Pseudocode (only relevant pieces):
Main:
CurrentVolume = waveOutGetVolume()
waveOutSetVolume(0)
SystemState.PhoneCallIncomming.Changed += IncommingCall_Handler
IncommingCall_Handler:
IncommingCall = SystemState.GetValue(SystemProperty.PhoneIncommingCallerNumber)
if(IncommingCall.Equals(@"1 (888) 555-1212")
{
waveOutSetVolume(CurrentVolume); //This line should make the phone ring but it doesn't.
}
Dear all,
I'm new to Android phones, but i am q sure i set up the Tasker profile correctly...
So what i wish to achieve is:
For certain hours of the day,
Set volume ringer to 1
BUT for callers listed in my phone book,
Turn volume ringer to 6
i have read and tried tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode and it does work nice, but i don't want my phone to be on Silent Mode because i am afraid there might be a chance that there's a legit call from someone not in my phonebook...
So when i replace the "Silent Mode" ON/OFF to "Ringer Volume" 1/6 (1 as the default sleep mode, 6 as the caller exception obviously) it does not work at all;
When there is a phonebook-listed caller calling in (i set caller number to C:ANY), i can hear for a second or two that the modified profile does increase the ringtone to level 6, but it will drop back down again to level 1 after that 1-2 second of ringing loud...
I do not have any other profile that fiddles with ring volume, just gestures for activating camera and cell tower location to turn wifi off...
I even tried running just a simple test:
1) set phone's ringing volume 1 by pressing the decrease volume side button on the phone body
2) turn off ALL Tasker profiles
3) create and activate the following tasker profile:
Event: Phone Ringing: (phone number left as blank)
Task: Ring Volume: 6
4) call in using another phone
5) it still gives the same result (1-2 seconds of loud ringtone, then back to the soft ring volume, and when i check afterwards, the phone's ringtone volume is 1, not 6)
I'm running Samsung Galaxy S II with stock Gingerbread (rooted of course)... and this is my first android... so i have no experience with trying this profile on other phones, or other versions of Android...
Can anyone help?
Thank you so much,
denny
Hi folks,
I got an Omnia 7, and i really love it, except that its ring&vibrate function.
So, at default, when i receive a call with ring&vibrate setting my phone first vibrates 3-4 times, and just after that starts ringing, but without more vibrates.
But I want it to vibrate&ring at the same time!
I found a solution in the HD2 topic, but this is just half-solved my problem: edited a value in registry, and then when my phone rings it vibrates continously.
There is the value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\RingerOnVibrateOn\
This was my default value (3-4 vibrates then rings): av0.1w0.3v0.3w0.3v0.1w0.3v0.3wo.3pr
This is the new value (rings&vibrates continously): v0p
My question is: can some expert make me a value, that do the ring and at the same time "repeat: (3-4 time short vibrate, 1mp pause)"?
The continous vibrate is very annoying, and harder to feel it then short vibrate cycles.
(And if it could be done, than maybe we can think about more combinations, if someone else is interested in it )
Really thanks if someone can make it!
isn't it wierd to Ring and then Vibrate? Just a question
Anyone pls?
i found some descriptions about script
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
it's clearly
thx. for plapic
