Samsung galaxy s ringer issue - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I have a problem with the ringer on 2.2.1 it is not ringing. The ringer volume is max and when I receive a call it shows brefly in the notification bar the silent icon an its not ringing.
I tried wipe, reflash, stock JPU,JPX,JPY, darky'S 8.0 but nothing is working.
Now i'm back to 2.1 and the ringer is working just fine. Can anibody assist me in this problem?

I've got the same problem with my Galaxy 1. I happened notice that if you give the phone a torsional twist, it makes the ringer come back to loud, indicating a mechanical issue of some sort, either a solder joint, circuit board break or maybe the speaker simply plugs in and is only making partial contact.

Fuze does not ring...

On incoming calls, my Fuze does not ring. I have it set to 'vibrate and ring' and it only vibrates. I have changed ringtones, ring settings, turned it off and back on, soft reset, pulled the battery out, etc and nothing will make my phone ring. All other notifications work (alarms, text messages, etc) and it will work on speaker phone once a call is connected. Is there any advice? I am trying to avoid a Hard-reset because I have the device set-up perfectly to my tastes...

What format is the ring tone in?
My ringtone is the 'Oldphone2' and it is set at'vibrate and ring'. It just spontaneously started this non-ringing thing this morning prompted by no changing of settings. As I said, I tried messing around with the setting after it stopped ringing, but to no avail. And the frustrating thing is that everything else seems to work fine. Argh!
This may seem silly, but have you checked your ring volume? I've had a situation a few times, for no apparent reason after disconnecting from Activesync, where my ring volume was down to 0. Just a thought.
I HAVE SAME PROBLEM, when you turn all to vibrate only and turn it back up . the ring stop working
Yes. all volume settings are up. ringer volume, call volume, media player volume.... Any other suggestions?
i had the same problem just now.. but changing the ringtone back to the ATT default one fixed it. I also use S2U2 and changing the setting for "vibrate when answered" or something like that seems to have fixed it as well.
Hope that helps.
what is S2U2? I have tried changing the ringtone back to ATT default and fiddling with the settings... No help there. This is frustrating. I have to keepmy phone on my desk in front of me so I dont miss any calls. I miss them if the phone is in my pocket.

this happened to me too and i hard resetted. that fixed it , then it started again. come to find out th eproblem was when i hit the volume key on the side i turned system valume up and didnt click on ringer volume to turn it up . i had to smack myself
do texts ringer still work?? if so then im pretty sure you have the same problem i had, check it. good luck though
Do you have the unit face down? It has an auto mute when face down.
I also have an alarm problem, although lights go off, the alarm doesn't ring. I also have problems with ringing on incoming calls. The speaker otherwise works fine. Volumes are turned on appropriately. I have Natfv4.0 installed. Do any of the roms fix this problem?
So somehow the problem fixed itself. Dont know how as I didnt even touch my phone for two days. I just turned it on and -BOOM- it rang a few minutes later. Totally spontaneous issue. Really strange this phone is sometimes...
Boy, do I feel dumb.....Never even noted the un hi-lighted RING volume TAB...
I guess I can't use THAT excuse for not answering calls...
Thanks

I've been having the same problem. It's very baffling to say the least. I believe it was caused by the newer versions of S2U2. Don't know if it's been discussed in that thread or not. Both times this ringer 'glitch' has occurred, it's been when I've password protected S2U2 in settings. The issue was fixed by turning the password protection off, restarting S2U2, soft resetting my Fuze.
I am having the same problem with incoming calls not playing the ring tone and missing calls. I can guarantee you that the system/ring volume controls are at maximum. I have switched ring tones to no avail. It seems to have something to do with changing the ring type from ring to increasing ring and or visa versa. When I change ring type the problem exists. If I turn system/ring volume to silent and then back to maximum it plays the ring tone just fine. There is a bug in there somewhere! I also see a 'send text' lower left of screen and I hear a blurp sound or two in the background wihile the ringtone is playing when the phone is ringing. Anyone else have any issues like this? If so or you have a fix please send it to [email protected] I'm new to this forum stuff and don't really know how to use it. Hope I didn't break any rules.
Thank you,

I just have the callers complaining that I take too long to answer the phone. I called myself, and it took 3 1/2 rings for my Fuze to ring...anyone else?
Great PPC, Lousy Phone
Mine too. I just tried it and it does not ring until seven seconds after the light starts flashing. Not only that, it will not retain a custom ring tone. I try to use Old Phone 2 but it reverts to the default on its own.
My vario iv also suffers from the missing ring tone- reboots sometimes help but not always.
I too have had to learn not to rely on the alarm- goes off some days and then not on others.
Just now I thought that I would try to play an mp3 to see if that works- I pressed play and then waited for the track to start- no sound- seconds later the screen changed and touchflow launched itself (again) went back to the home tab and the sound is back?????
Same problem... it stopped ringing...
one thing I notice is that if the number calling is private or block it will only light up (no ring) but from a caller with Caller ID open the phone will ring...
strange...

[Q] Mesmerize FROYO notification tone volume issue

Just wanted to see if any of you running the leaked FROYO rom for the mesmerize have come across this issue: when headphones/ear buds are plugged in to the phone for listening to media, and a text message arrives, the notification tone coming through the headphones/earbuds is very, very loud. I ran across this with this 2.2 build released here and did not experience this with 2.1.
If someone could verify that the notification tone coming through headphones/ear buds is painfully loud, I would appreciate it.
I talked to another user of 2.2 on his mesmerize and he experienced the same thing I did, however through bluetooth the notification volume level was fine.
Thanks!
Just did some resting with this. I didn't seem to have a extremely load volume on the notification. Have you checked the volume of your notifications in the setting? Try changing it and then send your self a text will listening to something thee the ear buds. I do some more testing.
Thank you for your reply.
Here's the story, in order for notification tones to be heard while the headphones are unplugged and in pocket, the notification volume has to be turned up pretty far, in turn when the headphones are plugged in, this makes the notification really loud, through the headphones. In order to avoid this problem, the notification level will have to be turned down every time the headphones are plugged in. With 2.1 the notification volume was reduced for the headphones even if the notification volume was maxed out.
Hope I make sense here. If you have your notifications volume maxed out are the notifications uncomfortably loud?
No there not. I'm also using ringing pro I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Ok. What is ringing pro?

That was supposed to be ringo pro. It lets you set custom tones for text and voice

[Q] Question about ringtone volume

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my Vibrant T959 changing the incoming call volume on me. I'm running Bionix-V 1.3.1 by TW and the Overstock kernel 2.6.32.9 with the Project Linda sound package. Whenever I put my incoming call volume at full and receive a call it sounds just fine, but as soon as it locks and I receive another call, the incoming volume gets pushed down to like level 1 or 2 and is barely audible.
Anyone have any ideas on what's causing this? Maybe an inherent Bionix or Overstock problem or maybe the Linda sounds I installed?
Thanks

[q] volume mute bug

HI,
MY LG G2X has developed a new bug and not sure how to fix it. The volume goes mute often meaning, i am missing calls. not able to listen to ring tone. For example if someone is calling, if I hold on to my mobile, I can see the call on screen but without ring volume. Only after force restart the volume comes back but this happens many times in a day. I am missing calls often because of this bug. Someone having similar bug? any fix for this issue?
I have tried factory reset, but still not able to fix the bug. Any suggestion, appreciated..
Is it just ringing that gets muted or all audio?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Need more info. What ROM, baseband, kernel etc.
Edit: something very silly used to happen to me sometimes when the ringer would turn low or even off when phone was in my pocket because the vol- was being pressed accidentally... am sure yours isn't that but figured it won't hurt to mention.

Question Low call volume

Is anyone else encountering low call volume with their galaxy watch 4 classic? I can barely hear the other person when taking calls. I am asking to determine if this is a software issue or a hardware problem that requires replacement.
i have the same problem with my Galaxy Watch 4 (44 mm), very low call volume.
yeah I find it pretty stupid that you can set a default volume for all sorts of stuff (system, bixby, ringtone, etc) but not for calls....
Rotate the bezel during the call! I'm have very loud ...
I noticed this low call volume on the watch 4 speaker also even when my watch call volume is turned up to maximum. Yes, I noticed that if I turn the volume dial down off of max and then turn it back up again during the call the speaker volume does come back louder. But I feel we shouldn't have to do that! It's a bug that should be fixed! I hope they fix this bug.
I am having the same problem. I noticed if I make an outgoing call the receive volume is OK. I call voicemail every morning but hope it get fixed soon.
