Is this the ultimate BUG?

I just found the ultimate bug and I believe this bug is responsible for G-Alarm and pTravelalarm not working. These alarm programs set the system volume to a predefined value, no matter where it was before (off, for example).
Why the heck does the PHONE RINGER volume influence the SYSTEM volume?
Check out the video:

Can this be fixed in Windows? Reg-Hack?

Anyone here with a AT&T Fuze that can test this please? Is my hardware defective? I'm still within the 30 days to return that sucker if it is.
Thanxxx

Wow, strange!!
I already saw your post in the G-Alarm thread yesterday.
Just tested it with my Touch Pro running ROMeOS 1.51, and I do not have this bug.

I suspect it is related to the latest AT&T stock rom. I hope someone with a brand new AT&T version can test this. If it's just a rom problem, then I can probably flash mine but I don't want to try that right now and lose warranty if I'm not sure...
here's my latest video that shows directly how crucial this bug is to any alarm program:

Again, it's myself who figured it out. After hours of trying and 3 hard resets (thanks to SpriteBackup I didn't have to install everything over again!)
Here is the result and the culprit is identified!

Anyone else here with the AT&T Fuze that has the same problem? Is there a fixed version of ozim available?

Interesting, but can you please post your solution in text form as well so that every single person who reads this thread from now until the end of time does not have to go watch a Youtube video ?

Yeah sure, no problem. I just thought a picture says more than 1000 words and a video says even more. But here in plain English:
Starting up the OZ IM Messenger Client on the AT&T Fuze (or worse, having it autostart with the system) completely screws up the system volume settings. Suddenly the RINGER volume slider also influences the SYSTEM volume. Say you turn your ringer volume all the way down but you still want to listen to mp3's in Windows Media... nada. If you set your phone to silent or vibrate and have a nice alarm program like G-Alarm installed, the alarm will go off but no sound out of the speaker!
After closing down OZ IM you still have to soft-reboot to get your system sounds back.

Seconded. Technical stuff lends itself to words better.

Is there a newer version of the OZ IM available that doesn't f*** up the system volume? That company's website doesn't even allow you to contact anyone, let alone check for updates or get support

Here's the newest development in this case.
Tried a different OZ IM (verizon version) last night and the sound bug was GONE. BUT I got errors connecting. Found out that there is a config file with verizon gateway in it, replaced it with the AT&T one. Still an error. Different one though (404). Re-installed the original AT&T version. Sound bug back immediately
Just overwrote the .exe file with the one from Verizon: Sound bug gone but again connection error 404...
WTF?
Anyone have a different AT&T version besides the obviously screwed up 2.0.84 M ?

[Q] Brainmasters MIUI 1.9.16 contact ringtones problem

Since 1.9.16 custom contact ringtones does not work anymore.
If a contact with a custom ringtone calls me the phone ring the default ringtone instead of the custom one.
Setting another contact ring tone does not make any difference.
Also tried Rings Extended with no luck.
I went back to 1.9.9 and the problem was not there.
Unfortunately i can not use 1.9.9 cause of the bluetooth problem it has.
Does anybody has similar problem with 1.9.16 ?

After flashing 2-3 other roms and no problem occurred (always restoring everything with titanium) i found the cause of the problem.
I had not realized that i had the problem when the screen was off, cause i have a 15 off timer and its always off and always i restore my settings from Titanium.
The problem was caused by screen-off profile of setcpu!
i tried to change frequencies or governors but no luck.
removing the screen-off profile completely everything runs as expected...
I cannot figure out why a profile 100-400MHz screen-off can cause this problem since other roms worked ok.

well, now with 1.9.23 there is no way i can make contact ringtones to work,
i made a full wipe and setup form scratch but contact ringtones does not work.
i cannot understand what i am doing wrong.
i put my ringtones at /sdcard/MIUI/ringtone.
select a global ringtone from there which works ok and then i select some contact ringtones from there but they get ignored!
whatever i try always the global ringtone rings ! ignoring the contact settings!
This happens only to brainmasters MIUI, formels and MIUI original works great!
also work at 1.9.9 brainmasters MIUI.

Oh it did, but unfortunately i don;t have permissions to do so.
I maust have at least 10 posts in order to be able to post there.
I don't want to spam only to post in the development forum.

Unfortunately I cannot help you with your problem, but I do have a question for you. How are you setting your screen to 15 seconds? I am using brainmasters miui and can not set any lower than 30 seconds. I want to set 15 but cannot figure any way to do that.

sadly after too many efforts brainmaster miui 1.9.23 refuses to play contact ringtones even at stock install without any other program installed. (i didn;t install setcpu also).
Other miuis don't have this problem nor brainmasters 1.9.9.

flashed 1.10.7 to a brand new i9023.
its first rom after rooting.
same problem.

Ringtone & message tone lost after reboot

Hi all,
I found a few other people with this issue but no definitive answer on how to fix it.
Just got the ICS update from Orange and all is well (after having to do a factory reset as messages wouldn't load) apart from ringtones.
If I set my own tones for email and txt and ringtones it will work, but any kind of reboot will set it back to default, and it also seems to be if the phone has slept for a long time it will lose the ringtones.
All tones are in either '/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
or they are in '/sdcard/ringtones(notifications or alarms)'
These have always worked on previous android versions.
Now, I find what seems to cause this is the SD card not syncing correctly, it is mounted and if I unmount/re-mount it, sometimes the tones will come back.
If I go to 'personalise->sound' The tones say;-
ringtone = quietly brilliant
notification = zeta
alarm = new day
But if I click on the sound set itself it tells me that all my personalised tones are selected.
This is getting very annoying as I will have my ringtone for a few hours, then all of a sudden it jumps back to whatever it fancies.
Is there a known bug or a fix for this, it's only been since the update to ICS.
Thanks for reading and hopefully I have described the issue enough to make sense.
Darren

It's a known issue. I push all of my custom ringtones to its respective directory in /system/media/...
Simple work around.

Ok, thanks.
I kinda knew it would be the answer but wanted to check I wasn't the only one with the problem.
Do you know if this is an ICS issue or is it a sensation issue?
Darren

I think it's an issue with the restarting "media" service

There have been guesses for both, but I believe it happens in the senseless roms as well...

You can also add ring tones and notifications by
Settings- sound- phone ring tone - menu soft key- more ringtone - New ringtone
This way you won't lose ringtones when rebooted. You can also add alarms and notifications the similar way

Thanks for all the answers, I will give them all a go.
With regards to putting the files directly on the phone do I need root access (im not near a pc until later) as I don't really root my devices since them seem pretty stable nowadays.
Thanks
Darren

Yes, you would need root access.

ok, thanks to all
I have written an email to HTC to explain the issues and ask when they will fix the problems.
I know Android is still classed as 'a bit geeky' in terms of OS but now it is used on so many devices we shouldn't need to root our phones to change the ringtone, it's almost as bad as an iPhone
If I hear anything back from HTC I will post in this thread.
Darren

I wondered if there had been any update on this? I have tried various Android 4.1 and 4.2,2 roms and it always happens after a reboot (currently CM10.1). I have even tried converting the ringtone to OGG format, placing it the \system\audio\ringtones folder (on phone) and fixing the permissions but that did not work!
I'm (obviously) rooted with an HTC Desire HD. Thanks!

[Q] Anybody using Spotify? Notifications question

I use Spotify for music on my M8, and while I've searched all over for a solution I just can't figure this out. When I receive a notification, the music pauses indefinitely. Only when I clear the notification does the music resume. This is contrary to every other Android device I've ever owned, where putting the device on silent or vibrate would stop the music from pausing at all. I've never had one that didn't resume a second or two later.
So, does anybody have any advice for me on this? Thanks in advance!

Try uninstalling and re-installing Spotify?

Thanks for the reply, I gave that a shot but nothing. I did realize though that it only happens on Bluetooth, not with headphones attached. I'm all out of ideas.

There is a setting or option somewhere (cant think of exactly where atm) that disallows apps to read notifications. Try disabling that if you can find it. Sounds like notifications are stealing the audio focus from spotify

Thanks again for trying to help. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I can't find it on the stock ROM either. Either HTC must have removed the ability to do that, or Google did in 4.4.2. Anyway, thanks again. I guess I'll just cross my fingers that they've fixed it in the new version of Spotify that is supposed to come out soon.

That was removed by Google in 4.4.2, was it not?

Download it from play store and turn notification off for that app. Works perfect!
