I have an difficulty with my ringtone on my Android 2.2.1 on no-name Chinese hardware
Whenever I put it into silent mode (for example from the lock screen (stock Android lock screen), it nicely goes silent, and shows the appropriate vibrate notification icon.
But if I undo that, even though the volume settings go to max again and the vibrate notification goes away, I still get no sound when someone calls. In fact, if I press volume up, I see a warning that "Silent ringtone selected" as subtext to the volume slider.
I have to go to my audio file and hard set it as ringtone again to get it to make a sound again while ringing.
Anyone recognizes this issue and knows how this is caused, and/or how I can prevent it?
I realize it may be some script or config file the Chinese messed up, so some hints as to what script or config file for this may help me also.
PS: I did search the net and XDA for "silent ringtone" but to no avail

I recently built a ROM using mUn's 5.2.968 (Build 17217) and the kitchen. It has been working fine but today I managed to hit the volume control and put the phone on vibrate. Anyway I put it back on ring but it seems to be stuck on Vibrate. I have the volume control set to the middle for the PDA, and one step higher for the phone, also with the phone screen on and click menu, options it is set to Ring Type 'Ring' and Ring Tone to one of the built-in files. However it refuses to ring when I get an incoming call; it just vibrates
Any ideas?
Thanks

This actually happens periodically in all WM6 roms I've tried. For me, I've only noticed this happen when I've pressed and held the Comm button to switch to Vibrate and then switch it back. To fix the problem you can either go to Settings > Phone and play your ring tone (just hit the play arrow) or do a soft reset.
I used to see this more on NTS and XPlore 1.1 than I've seen on Faria Vanilla (not sure I ever saw it there) or on my Crossbow Reloaded (I've seen it once) but to be honest after realizing it appeared to be tied to the press and hold of the COmm button to enable and disable vibrate, I've pretty much quit using that feature. I don't know that I've ever seen it happen if I drag the volume (not ring volume but phone volume) to Vibrate or off and then back.
I've chalked it up to one of the "bugs"/"features" of WM6...

the volume buttons... on the side... can fix that for you. press the down button until you get to the "vibrate" setting... and um, press the up button to turn the ringer back on and away from the "vibrate" setting -- the more times you press the up button the louder your ringer will be and visa versa until you get to the silent mode :/
that silent mode in the notifications section is just pointless in my opinion :/
I also had this problem today at doctors office, and missed a call.
I'am new to this phone and forum, but found this works. This is just one way,
I'am sure there are others too.
From Home Screen, Select Menu, Select Settings, Select Sound & Display
Check Silent Mode to "ON"
Check Phone Vibrate to "ON" (I leave this "ON" all the time anyway)
This way you only have to toggle ON & OFF the Silent Mode, as the Vibrate
always stays "ON", unlike if you use Silent from the Notification Screen. I don't
know why.
I've been looking all over xda but can't seem to find the next thing:
Is there allready an app or a homebrew app available that let's WP users mute their phone very easily? As well as sound ass vibration.
It is pretty annoying I always have to change it in the settings.
Regards!
There is a volume-control app (in the dev&hacking sub-forum, I believe) but I admit to finding the request odd; why not just hold down the Volume Down button? If you have vibration enabled and want to turn that off too, you'll also need to turn on the screen for a sec (no need to unlock it, though).
Normally my phone is on vibrate + ring
When I'm in a normal meeting it is on Vibrate only
When I'm asleep/ important meeting/... its muted completely. No vibrating, no ringing.
It is pretty easy to switch between the first two. But to get it completely muted I always have to go via the ringtone settings.
If I hold the volume down to zero it will always keep on vibrating. I don't seem to get your point?
Ah, my bad. It used to toggle between Vibrate and Silent when you tapped the button on the screen. Now it just toggles the ringer; you can't disable the vigrate from there anymore. Dumb...
Hi,
When you switch on the phone , you have a ringtone I would like to disable, is this possible ?
I didn't manage to find anything in the parameters.
Thanks
There isn't an option like Motorola or other OEM, but if you turn off your phone in "silent mode", when you turn it on again there will be no sound.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK , I just tried..... and it works.
I wish I had a sound symbol to press on and off like wifi, torch light etc.... may be with an update later on who knows.
Anyway thanks a lot for the tip, I appreciate very much.
When you press a button of the volume rocker appears on the screen the slider to adjust the volume, right? If you press on the ring bell next to the slider the device goes in "silent mode" without changing the volume and in place of the ring bell appears the vibration symbol. If you press on the vibration symbol, the ring bell appears again and the volume returns to your favorite setting. It is a quick setting that allows you to switch between ringtone and silent mode without changing the volume, but placed in the quick volume menu, rather than in the general quick settings.
As an alternative you have the DND (Do Not Disturb) mode that has its toggle in the quick settings.
Yes this noise annoys me too but I rarely turn my phone off unless there is a reboot due to updates.
I've noticed that on the new release on Pie - when I manually turn the phone down, it just turns down the 'media' volume and not the ring tone volume, I need to actually go in a also turn that one down.
Am I missing something? Didn't it used to default to turning both media and ringtone down? Is there a way of making both come down or at least default to ring tone?
It's a new Pie settings.. It works like this... You need to click the settings icon in volume panel to open audio settings and change whatever you want
