[Q] No incoming call sounds

Hello again. When I receive an incoming call I get a strange problem.
I either get no ringtone no vibrate, vibrate only, or about half a second of my ringtone before it stops.
Very rarely does the phone ring normally.
Phone is set to Max volume and I get notification sounds.
I've tried searching and only found problems relating to HTC.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Finally fixed it. Turned out its the call blocker part of an app I had. NetQin Manager. I uninstalled that and now it works perfectly. Got to love this site.

sms reading out loud during a call

I'm having a bit of an issue. When I get a text during a call a female robotic voice starts reading out my texts. It makes it hard for me to stay focused during a call. Please tell me there's a way to shut that off!

I wasnt aware this was possible on the Sidekick. did you try opening the menu while in Messages? then setting?

My wife had the same problem. I can't recall the exact solution but check in your settings/ language & input settings/ text-to-speech (or whatever path it is) and search around to ensure that the read aloud settings are not checked. Hope this works. Report back so others can know...

Looks like the setting you want to change is under Settings>Voice Input and Output> Text-to-speech settings. Sounds like Driving Mode is checked/enabled. uncheck it, and that problem should go away.

How to get notification sounds to be the same as incoming calls?

Please help

I know that the sounds are located in system/media/audio....check that out see what you can do.

do you mean the same choices, or the same ringtone? You should be able to copy the ringtones from /system/media/audio/ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications (going from memory here), and I would think that would give you the sounds you are looking for. you will probably have to be rooted to make this work, unless you can find the ringtones in a zip on this forum (which you probably can).

Like the same volume, cause when I lower the incoming calls ringtone then the notification one is the same as it was before without changing

Not sure what you're saying, but you can change the volume in your sound settings. You can change the sound itself according to the above posts.

what he's saying is, that on most stock android phones, the notification volume follows the ringtone volume, so if you lower the ring tone, via the volume keys, it also lowers the notification volumes. The SGS4G doesn't do this. I would imagine that there is a 3rd part app that will handle it, but I am typically on vibrate, or full volume, so it doesn't matter enough to me to really research it.

If you install mysettings from market, you can do this. Open mysettings, long press ringer mode in upper left hand corner. This will give you your volume sliders. check the box that links ringer and notification volumes.

O my goodness you rock guys!!! Omg omg omg!! I love you all!!

razr hd text notification sound issues

I found a lot of crap, but nothing useful about why when I turn ring to vibrate or silence I still get ring for text messages. I have to go settings- sound - notification. Y would moto do this to us?
Anyone have a way to silence ring and notification at the same time. With a fix, app, widget

I found settings extended by halfbit it gives the option to connect ringer and notification without extra crap on your home screen.

Did you try silencing it from the lock screen
A simple yes or no doesn't hurt anyone :-/

I use HD widgets for my little switches widget on my home screen and when i set it to vibrate only it does it for both my notifications and phone calls, the lock screen does the same thing like Christian stated.

Lock screen only silence the ring.

I'm having almost the exact same problem. My problem began when I installed a profile app, "Simple Profile Sound" I uninstalled it and I'm having the issue where if I put it on silent or vibrate the ringtone follows that command however, all my notification sounds keep ringing no matter what. I emailed the developer 3 times with no response. I have seen others that had the same problem with that app and have done a factory reset but that didn't help. Seeing this happen to you makes me think there's something else behind it. I've posted in a few different forums but nobody has come up with an answer. There has to be someone out there that should know how to fix this issue hopefully!

[Q] Call waiting sound notifcation

Hi,
I'm getting a strange issue with a relatives One S and trying to figure out how to address it. Whenever she is in a middle of a call and someone else calls in, the phone no longer makes an audible sound notifying her that there is an incoming call. She has to keep an eye the screen to see the visual notification instead, which results in missing calls since she is not looking at it during the duration of the call.
Is there a method to resolve this?
Thanks

Changed anything recently?

Check settings, call, additional options, call waiting and make sure it's enabled.

Update:
The relative told me this morning, the call waiting audio notification is working again.
In terms of if anything changed, yes I got the phone de-branded using the guide.
