Hi
I set the default "Rings" forder under Windows to the Storage card by editing the register key.
Then, the probem is coming. When I turn the device off (for saving power), ever time the incoming call only display on the screen without "ringing" (no sound). It really annoyed me .
Anyone encountered the same situation?

Ok, I'm hoping someone may have some idea why this error is plaguing me.
After a hard-reset, the following behavior is observed on the T-mobile 3.14 rom.
1. Set Ringer (or leave at default) to anything.
2. Hit Ok.
3. Change volume to either Off or Vibrate.
4. Go back to phone options - ringer is now set to "BellDitty".
Odd thing is that when volume is restored, the phone doesn't play anything when an incomming call is received - not even the listed "BellDitty".
Anyone know what the problem is? How to work around it? Is the ringer just set in the registry? If it is, then it could just be a case of writing a program to restore the ringer ever 2 sec. or so.
Hope you guys can help - a phone that fails to ring is a misbehaving in my book.
Thanks.
Fixed!!!
After doing some hunting, here is what I found. If you guys have some spare time, try doing this to your phones and see if you have the same oddball results. From what I found:
When the Pocket PC is put into Mute, a key in the registry (HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0) named Sound is set to *none* or *vibrate* depending on what you mute to. There is another key in that branch named “SavedSound”, which has the ringer you setup in Phone options. Now, as long as you don’t go into Phone options and hit “Ok” while the phone is muted, the registry keys work just fine – as soon as you unmute, the value of “Sound” gets set to whatever “SavedSound” is. HOWEVER – if you do go into phone options and hit OK, it confuses PPC 2002. It writes the new sound to the “Sound” key, however it never cleans up after itself in the same way it would if you unmated. Now when you unmute, it looks to the Sound key to see if it says *none* or *vibrate* so it knows to re-enable the ringtone. When it finds the saved value from the phone applet (that you hit “OK” to) it assumes that the phone was unmuted, even though it wasn’t.

Well researched !
[ I've had this thought more often: do we have a Microsoft representative in the room here? If not, I guess we need to have some protocol for reporting issues from our collective brain back to the developers. (But ofcourse MS really needs to be here and read the forum if they're serious about making this a real phone.) ]
I had this problem with my Desire Z now I have it with my Evo 3D, Android obviously doesn't like what I have chosen as the notification sounds as it changes them! I can't even save the Sound Set, to quickly change it back, as even though I have one file selected as my ring tone for example, when I go to save the Sound Set, it shows as a different one for my ring tone! Even when the file I want is chosen, it does sometimes change this anyway in the Sound Set!
I am aware that if I have the SD card set as a Disk Drive when it is connected to the computer then I can't use the files on them as notifcation sounds. This does tend to happen following being connected to a computer, even though it has just been connected to charge!
Does any one know why yhey might be changing or why I can't even save the Sound Set, as even when it was showing the correct files and I save it it changes?
I haven't had this issue before, but now my ringtone keeps resetting to the default Sense ringtone. If I change it, it will stay until I reboot or a certain amount of time passes and then it goes back. What's strange is that my sound I'm choosing for alarm, which is different than the default, does stick.
Any ideas?

Is your preferred ringtone on your external SD card? Mounting it to USB can make it temporarily unavailable and it will revert to default even after you unmount.
If so, try placing it on the internal sd folder

I actually just discovered what's causing this. I use a program called Sound Profile that has a bug that is locking the ringtone. Thus, anytime I opened the program or used one of its widgets, it would revert to the ringtone that was selected when the app was installed. I was able to change it by uninstalling the app. I've emailed the developer to let them know about this.
Thanks for the response, however. This was driving me nuts.
Morning,
These two annoying glitches seem to be on any Rom I use. It's happened since the day I ever downloaded Roms but never got around to asking people
Issue 1) When I'm dialing a number the screen turns off/times out halfway through. When I switch it on, and go to press the next number it's as if it sees me coming and switches off just as I get near to the number! I've tried the usual settings to change this but to no avail. No doubt there's a simple solution.
Issue 2) Sometimes I think I get no emails or messages. Then when I go in to settings/notifications I see that the ringtone I chose has been unchecked meaning the phone thinks there's no notification to play. This happens with email (exchange) and messages. It seems random but happens about every 3rd day! II then have to manually select the ringtones again.
Any help on these 2 things would be great!
the second issue seems like you have your chosen ringtone at your SD card and the device can't read it sometimes.
the first thing i suggest is to transfer this ringtone to your internal memory under the "notifications" folder so it'll be available for you to choose from.
secondly, maybe you should consider replace your SD or gently clean it

Am sure that was the reason. Have moved them. Thanks!
Really annoying problem with the HD2 that's been around for a long time, but thought I'd ask if anyone knew of a fix:
Situation: If a USB lead is plugged in whilst either the Camera or Albums app is running, then a phantom second storage card folder appears, and the camera changes its settings to storing photos and videos in the phone memory instead of on card. Once like that, the change is permanent and even restarting the phone will not correct it.
In fact, to correct the problem involves a fair bit of manual hacking :
Restart the phone
Make certain which of the two storage card folders is the proper one (a mistake here will trash your data)
Delete the phantom one.
Restart the phone
Rename the proper one to 'Storage Card'
Restart the phone (Might not always be needed)
Go into the camera app and put the storage settings back. right.
All in all, a LOT of work and a high risk of data loss, and can happen oh-so easily because it's not always apparent that the camera hasn't closed properly and is still running in the background. Worse, if you don't notice this glitch has happened, then the next time you use the camera it will quickly fill the phone's rather small memory and then bug out.
Dos anyone know of a fix, or alternatively a way to script/automate the repair process?
