I tried doing a search, but struggled finding something. Every single rom I flashed, when I go into phone settings and I click ok, it goes to the ring page setting and I see my ring tone change to some default. I could guess maybe it's due to x-button 1.0 but not sure. Does anyone have any clue for a fix?
I don't exactly follow. Just to clarify, you go to Start -> Settings -> Phone change your ringtone to something other than the default, hit "OK" and instead of closing/minimizing, it takes you directly back to the "Phone" settings page and it's set itself back to the default ringtone?
Is that what you mean?

sometimes I don't get good reception at the location I'm at so I go into the phone settings, hit network tab and select find network. I click ok and then it sends me back to the phone tab where my sounds are at and my ring tone is changed to the default. Whenever I do this, I constantly have to change it back to my original ring tone.
I know it's a small picky problem, but just never had this problem in WM5.
Well, that is strange. I couldn't replicate it.
Do you let your battery die a lot? I've heard a lot of Wizards can often revert to default settings if your battery goes completely dead.

I find this happens to me as well... and I never let my battery completely die. I wonder if it's related to the fact that my main phone ringtone is on the storage card... with the Wizard's notoriously 'wonky' miniSD slot, maybe the connection is occasionally interrupted and causes the problem.
Same problem here, using mfrazzz Crossbow Reloaded 1.5. I use a mp3 file as my ringtone, which is in the root of my storagecard.
I have a similar issue and I think it is down to some registry settings and where your ringtones are. I built my ROM with an additional Ringtone and then set this to be the default ringtone through an .RGU file. It works as long as you don't change it.....
If I change the rington (or turn on vibrate) then I can never re-select the ringtone, even though it is listed. If I edit the registry to change it, it works, but obviously editting the registry to change ringtones is a bit OTT. I have been playing around with this as I have a spare Wizard so if I find anything else I will post on this thread.
The registry keys in question are:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone2
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\RingPreview

OK, quick update. The file I had as my default ringtone was 'Cellular4.wav'. I added this to the ROM and changed the references in the registry (.RGU file) to point to this file. Now if I changed it via Phone, Options then the changes would take effect, however selecting this file again via the same options didn't work and the file would appear to be selected but was the previous option (filename or vibrate), manually changing this via the Registry worked however.
I have now re-encoded the file to be a .WMA file and re-built the ROM and it now appears to work. The file needs adding to the registry entry to allow it to be selected if the file isn't in the \Windows\Rings folder:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"Ringtones"=multi_sz:"Ring-WindowsMobile .wma", "Ring-Standard .wma", "Ring-Vision .wma", "Cellular4 .wma"

I'm suprise I'm not the only one with this problem. So adding your filename to the registry fixes the problem?

I think the file needs to be there as well, plus it needs to be a .wma file (as opposed to a .wav or .mp3), I am not sure about the extra space in the filename (cellular4 .wma), however it is working fine for me now.

I have been suffering from this too but couldn't find the root cause nor repeatability.
One thing I did find is that switching from Internet Calling back to calling via GSM reset the ring type back to default, even though when initially going from GSM to Internet Calling the latter rang correctly.
I have this problem as well. If the tone is highlighted when I press OK it goes back to default... Click play and then stop..... now it is not highlighted, and it will stay!!
It just doesnt like you Badbert..
happened for me too, then i installed Signed_Tmo Ringtones that comes with tmobile rom. It fixed it. Hope this works for you as well.
wow...it worked, thanks!

I've tried searching with no luck (maybe I just suck at it). Is there a way to disable or change the "plinking" sound of the volume rocker? It's driving me mad.
I want that too! My device has volume locker up very sensitive,small presure activates it,yet the button seems to work properly.don't have patience to wait for warranty and thank god is the volume up and not down.

This is the one thing that bothers me with my Inspire. When pulling out of it's case I constantly hear the plink sound. I've installed Volume Lock from the market, but that doesn't take care of the sound.
Unfortunately I think we are stuck with this one. I had this minor quibble with my old Desire too. I can confirm there is no option that I know of to disable it.
I guess the location of the volume rocker sound is not device specific, so has anyone found where it is? I want to replace the sound with something else, but I can not find the file location. It's not in /system apparently, or I am looking in the wrong places.
Hi guys
It's 7 mp3 files in /system/media/audio/ui
Download THESE and put them in your ui folder...works for me
It's 7 mp3 files with silence, you can also try deleting them, but I'm not sure what happens
Cheers
That doesn't seem to work for me. I put the files in /system/media/audio/ui via "adb pull" and verify they are there, but that doesn't change anything. Rebooting the phone doesn't help either.
What firmware are you on? I'm using Android 2.3.4 (Cyanogen 7).
I think you mean ADB push, right?? If you used pull, you'd be copying those files from your phone and overwriting those on your PC...
the syntax goes:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push volume-1.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-1.mp3
adb push volume-2.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-2.mp3
...etc...
But it si possible that CM7 has these sounds elsewhere, so try searching for .wav/.mp3/.ogg file in the ROM...
It is also possible these are packed in some .apk file as a resource...in that case you need to find what .apk file it is, decompile it, replace those sounds, recompile it and push back....
I am using Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset and a Nexus One.
I use the Rewind/Fast Forward buttons with MortPlayer while listening to podcasts to rewind or skip forward in the podcast.
However, pressing any of the buttons first turns the screen on. This is silly because then I have a phone in my pocket or backpack with the screen turned on just wasting my battery.
Is there a way to stop this? Has anyone else experienced this?
This happens to me too, I have the same headset and an Atrix with PowerAmp. This also happens with the voice control.

Good, it's not just me
This makes using the headset buttons useless since I have to take my phone out of my pocket and turn the screen off anyway.
i have the same problem when button on headsets is pressed screen comes on
is it possible maybe too change something in " HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power "settings to stop this ,please help

Hah, funny you bumped this
I just upgraded to a Sensation and problem solved. Must be a Nexus One issue.
No is not problem with nexus ,i have htc hd and motorola s9 and i found a solution:i just installed another player conduits pocket player
it has many great options and one of them to "lock buttons toogles screen"
If your phone is rooted, I might have a solution for you (worked on my Xperia Mini Pro):
Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/AVRCP.kl
(create a backup of this file, just in case something unwanted happens)
Remove the "WAKE" flag from the end of each line (I also removed the extra spaces, no sure if it's needed).
If (and I didn't find another way of doing this) you copied it to edit it, and then put it back in place: don't forget to keep the ownership/permissions!
On mine (android 2.3.4, based on xperia mini pro stock rom) I had to:
chmod 644 AVRCP.kl
and
chown root:root AVRCP.kl
Reboot your phone, and voila! No more "wake" events before the actual wanted event (play/next/previous...).
Hope this helps

Wow, blast from the past haha! (I kept my subscription to my thread)
Like I said previously, I switched to a HTC Sensation and it doesn't happen anymore. That is, if the lock screen is enabled.
I use NoLock to disable the lock screen, and when disabled, this issue does reappear. Odd...
I may have to test your method (I am rooted), though it seems somewhat daunting.....
Got the silence files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66258646&postcount=13
You DO NEED ROOT but its simple.
There are 6 files that need to change in system/media/audio/ui
af_failure.ogg
af_success.ogg
cam_snap_0.ogg
camera_click.ogg
camstart.ogg
camstop.ogg
With a root file manager (root explorer, etc) rename those 6 files to .old and replace with the files in the zip provided. Then just FIX PERMISSIONS and reboot.
Very nice find.
For those without root, i'll add this: I was playing with a camera app last night that was recommended somewhere, cymera maybe? And in it, it had an option to go silent. I turned all my volumes up outside the app, went in, took a picture, zero sound. So that might be an option for others.

Thx, works good.
I have the T-Mobile variant and if my phone is on silent, there is no shutter sound.
I believe this is a way to silence the shutter sound without having to add the step of muting your phone.

correct
Hmm so I'm trying to figure it out but no luck yet. I have the sounds disabled in camera except one. When you long press the take pic button. It does the multiple shots til you let go, the click sound is there. Any idea which sound file that is?

I've been searching for a solution to this for a couple of years now. I'm currently running a rooted stock Marshmallow S7 and still haven't figured out how to increase the volume steps on my phone. There must be a way, even if it involves editing the build.prop file. Is it possible to change the volume steps on an S7? Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Found one thing that seems to kinda work. The NGC 4388 app won't allow me to configure the steps but does seem to add more.
Edit #2: Had to uninstall NGC 4388 because the volume would jump sometimes and I believe it nullified my Sound Mod that I had previously flashed.
