I have a USCC Samsung Mesmerize, rooted EC10 with Voodoo with TW... Anyway, my phone only vibrates when ringer is turned on, and when I try to select a new ringtone under Sound Settings, my phone vibrates and says sorry! process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. So I have no ringtone, only vibration...
Also, when I attempt to raise the volume of the ringer using the side key, while on homescreens, the phone reboots...
Any help/ideas? I tried a reboot and factory data reset to no avail...
Thanks a bunch
I had this issue and hard reset to solve it.

Yes... Issue solved, wiped cache in recovery and hard reset... Thanks
Please help noobie
I have the same issues since upgrading my samsung mesmerize to 2.2. The volume shortcut keys black out the phone and in the settings for voice call ring tone i get the process com.android.settings error message.
Is there somewhere I can go online to get details how to do a hard reset and clear the cache through recovery?
I also have the issues with missed calls but the USCC reps tell me there is a patch coming out. When I explained the issue I have no one had a clue what to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you!
Volume button reboots phone
My husband and I are having the same problem with our new Samsung Mesmerize phones -- the volume button makes the phone vibrate and reboot, regardless of whether the button is pushed when a call is in progress, the browser is being used, or the phone is idle. This is just bizarre. There has to be a way to fix what should be such a basic function. This phone is too expensive to have the volume button not work!
Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thank you in advance!

Are you running stock? If so, sounds like a hardware issue. USCC will tell you to try a factory reset so give that a go. You will lose all settings and user apps though. Otherwise you may be looking at a warranty replacement.

Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.
i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too
Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.
just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone
silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )
I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.
Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.
Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!
i've got my sensation for a while and its good so far, except i encountered a problem occasionally. once a while i would find my phone not generating any sound at all, no notification sound, no music, speaking simply not functioning. and at that state when i press the volume button, it shows up as "media volume" instead of "ringer volume", even i am in the home screen. couldn't fix it turning off and on the phoen again, had to reboot it to fix it.
anyone got the same problem? how do you guys fix it?
I've encountered this a couple of times already. don't know a fix besides restarting the phone. next time it happens I'm going to make a phone call to see if that'll kick it back in to gear.
Are you using the Talkin Tom Cat app? It will stop your phone from making any sounds and I've just checked that when pressing the volume buttons, media volume shows up even on the homescreen, just like you said.
no im not..it still happens..
I found a solution to fix this...plug in the headphone and turn on and off the fm radio...still kinda annoying though
any other known solutions?

That works for me but how do we get it to remain on ringtone? Why does it switch to media

my girls volume wont turn on at all? anyone ever hear about this problem? it isn't rooted....
not sure if it will help, but try this: from the home screen, press the menu button, then choose settings>sound>volume, and check the settings for the various volumes, i.e incoming call, media, system, etc. when my phone was stock like hers, sometimes one or more of those volumes got pushed down to 0 for some reason... it was annoying, and it seemed to happen especially to my notifications volume every time i rebooted the phone! hope that helps
I'm having the exact same issue
Hey everyone. So I bought a sidekick 4g on craigslist the other day. I checked it out and thought everything was okay, but I was wrong. So far no response from the jerk who sold it to me without telling me about this problem.
The phones volume up key doesn't work 90% of the time. If I reboot the phone or leave it off for a while, the volume up key will work for a few minutes and then stop again. The funny thing is the volume up key works when I want to reboot (holding vol.up + vol.down and power button at the same time).
So is there any fix for this? Will rooting it and loading a rom fix it? Also I am new to all of this, is it even possible to root and load generginger 2.0 with a broke volume up button? The phones firmware is all up to date.
Thanks for any info and help everyone.
i'd suggest using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275116
root the phone, and then go back to stock with the heimdall and see if that fixes the problem. and if it does then you should try rooting it again and install one of the Custom ROMs because the stock OS on this phone is garbage out of the box.
but i'm no expert either, it just seems strange that only when its been on for a bit that it stops working. that it works when you boot it seems to suggest that its a software issue? somebody help me out here guys lol
This has happened a number of time using both Dalvik and ART.
Phone rings, I try and answer by swiping the green button, the phone gives a little vibrate and stops ringing but nothing else happens. It still looks like I have not answered the call. No other buttons will work and I have to do a long press power button restart.
Searching shoes similar behavior on other Android phones eg. Nexus and others.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Seems I am the only one experiencing this. I did a hard reset and that still did not fix the problem.
Checking voice messages the other day I had a similar freeze up.
Replacement G3 on the way from AT&T. This will be number 4!
Anyone else have an issue with unlocking the phone either by the power button or fingerprint scanner? My phone at times just sits there when i try to unlock it and will sometimes restart when i press the power button again when its frozen. Anyone else have that issue?
I have the s8+ from tmobile. I tried factory resseting and even updated to the new update. No luck. Any ideas?
Same, looks like a bug in the OS
Good!!! Better than getting a faulty device. Hopefully it can be fixed soon!
Mine froze and went to black screen after i downloaded and applied new theme. And when i press the home button i can feel the haptic feedback. I tried charging the phobe but there was no light too. I just perform a hard reset with the power + volume down keys.
You jinxed me... I read this thread but didn't bother clicking on it because I wasn't having the issue...
well... just did it. iris unlock, and then I got a reset and power button wasn't turning it on for a minute.
Hopefully it will be fixed
Yep
Hello, No issues on my S8+ from Tmobile.
Do you have a theme installed that maybe is causing the delay?
I learned from other posts from xda, when doing a factory reset, do NOT perform a backup and restore for apps. This causes some delays in response from the phone. Is better always to install fresh the apps from the app store and then just log in.
I also recommend enabling the developer options and disable all three animations to off. This will speed the phone response.
