Sorry if I'm not the first one to ask this question but I'm more an HTC guy and never really played with Nexus phones... My gf have a question for you guys, each time she is installing an update on her N5 (The phone is 100% stock never unlocked, not rooted, never flashed anything on it) she is experiencing these problems:
Ringtone isn't audible after an ota, she is using one of the ringtone already included in the OS (no custom ringtones). When going to "Settings --> Sound & Notification" after an OTA udpate, "Phone ringtone" is set to "Unknown ringtone". She must set the ringtone to what it was before the OTA.
Background image reset by itself after an OTA
WiFi network settings are lost.
Is it a known issue that some parameters are lost after an update? If not I guess a simple factory reset or maybe flashing the factory image could help...?
thanks.

Hello - I have a stock rooted One S. I don't want to go thru the hassle of un-rooting, etc just to get the incremental upgrade T-Mobile pushed out a few weeks back.
However, over the past few days, I've had 3 separate notifications prompting me to do the upgrade (which won't work anyways because I am rooted). I then have to re-start the phone to get the notification out of my status bar.
Is there anything I can change on my phone to avoid getting these upgrade notifications (build.prop setting, etc)? I'd rather not deal with constant upgrade notifications if possible.

If you have Titanium Backup or similar app, you can delete/freeze DMClient app.
Thanks for the quick reply. Via 'Root Uninstaller Pro', I found:
DMC / HtcDMC.apk - version 4.0.22**************
Is that the one to disable? Any side-effects to freezing it?
I just got the One S a few days ago and is still trying to figure out the in and out of it. Usually all my other Android devices the DMClient is what handle FOTA.
Have to admit the One S is the first "branded" phone I've gotten in about 15 years.
Not to sure if the DMClient is what handle FOTA (I forgot to look before I flashed custom ROM).
I don't think HtcDMC is it. HtcDMC (Digital Media Controller).
have you not looked in settings>about>software updates? you should just be able to untick there to stop it looking.
Or have t-mobile hidden that option? (Im in the UK so i don't know these things...)

Hi, there. I have a T-Mobile HTC One S since over a year.
I am facing a strange issue since past one week. I cant hear any call - when I make or receive calls. Even the ringtones and alarms are not transmitted through the speakers. It appears that the sound profile is not working at all. Strangely every other thing os working fine - data, messaging, apps, etc.
One more information. When the issue surfaced initially - when calls were received the phone hanged and restarted. Then it gave a message that phone recovered from abnormal reset and asked for sending error report to HTC, which I did.
This happened 3-4 times.
I called the HTC support in India. They said since its a international phone they dont have software/ hardware support. They advised me to reset the phone which I did, but the issue still remains. I even deleted all phone storage.
Pls help as I am stuck.
Regards

I had the same exact issue after installing a custom rom. What ROM are you on? What kernel? need more information to diagnose a problem like that. The first place I would start is a factory reset, or reflash whatever ROM you are on. If you are stock, then try a factory reset first, and report back. Also give as much info as to firmware, rom, kernel, etc...
Hope this helps!!

I am with latest T-Mobile HTC ROM. I have already done a factory reset and deleted phone storage. This has not helped.
Details are as under:
Android 4.1.1
HTC Sense 4+
Software 3.14.531.17710RD
HTC SDK API 4.63
Kernel 3.4.10.g0f5103e
[email protected]#1
Baseband 1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L
Build 3.14.531.17 CL160314 release-keys
Then there is a possibility of it being a hardware issue. When was the last time you remember it working? Can you recall any apps you Installed right before it stopped working, or any changes you made? It sounds as if you're on all stock software, so it shouldn't be anything to do with firmware, or Rom. The only thing I can think of is some app that is interfering, or hardware issue. And since you did factory reset, it doesn't make sense for it to be app interference. Do all other sounds and sound related functions on your phone work?
Sorry I could not be of more help. It may be something hardware related, which would be something to have fixed HTC or replaced under warranty, if you have one.

Hello,
So basically, like the title says, i can't pick a custom ringtone as it resets after a few minutes.
I use Audiko for my ringtones(have been using it for years), and it also returns an "unknown error" for a few ringtones.
It used to stick on a few older ringtones i had, but i tried to do a factory reset, and now even those won't stay.
My device is completely stock, and on version 10.0.5 .
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys!
My problem is, i cant use custom ringtone and i dont know why and so ****ing frustrating.
So, i set my .mp3 file in settings - sounds and vibrations- ringtone.
But when someone calls me lollipop ringtone is ringing....
ROM is original 12.5.1
i bought 2 phone yesterday. 1.phone easy setup the mp3 file works good. 2. phone i setup the mp3 file and does not work.
any idea?
Can not help but have the same problem.
The only ones where work are those who were originally there.
Rom: newest did not now number Phone:6/128
Same here (two phones, one with the same problem). In the one with the problem, the configuration of an older Xiaomi phone was copied over (using BT) during the initial setup.
Did you have any success resolving this?
Try full wipe ( factory reset)
I read it on another forum and worked for someone.
Try app AirDroid from play store. It have function to set ringtone.
Did anyone solve this problem without using the factory reset?
This is the same for me. So annoying. All the system ringtones are crap. I've tried turning off miui in dev options but that didn't work and I don't want to do a hard reset. I've successfully set custom rtones for all my main contacts, that helps but it isn't the solution.
Hello everyone, I hope anyone can help me with and system update issue, I had sam issue in pixel 3XL, 4a, 6 and now in 6a. Phone get himself stuck on preparing system update and searching update screen in settings it alternates the two screens each second, no matter what you do, and the main problem is that phone heats and battery drains very very fast maybe last just 4 or 5 hours without using the phone, if I do factory reset all fine but is not a good solution. Also tried sideload update, it install and all is up to date but phone continue searching update. Sorry for my bad english.
Just turn off automatic updates and manually flash it.
If you're bootloader unlocked it's much faster to flash the factory image vs the OTA
Yes but it's a temporary solution, after some weeks problem comes again. And have no option to unlock bootloader, so just can use ota. But what is the reason for this issue?
If this has been doing this across multiple devices it's not a phone issue. It's either network or account related.
And you can turn off auto updates as a permanent solution and just manually flash the OTA every month.

If it's still searching for updates after disabling that in developer settings and rebooting then something really weird is going on.
There is a way to look some system log or something like that to see what's a happening? In pixel community I see a thread where pixel's team help a guy with a weird issue reading some thing called logcat and found the problem.
