Hello all,
I searched on the forum and the closest anyone had to my problem was having no phone audio at all.
The issue I am having is my key presses in the dialer make no noise when placing the call and no noise while on the call.
Example is I call at&t and I press 1 for this or 0 for that and the keys make no noise so Im not sure if the autophone system is registering my choices.
I am on stock rooted rom and shouldn't have any apps that effect the dialer.
I have checked in the settings and the options are checked for it to make sounds and vibrate on keypress.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Make sure your system volume is up and that "Audible touch tones" is checked.
This is my fourth android phone btw. I've checked all the obvious stuff for why I wouldn't be hearing it. All the other keys in every other app work as they should.
Well the only reasons you wouldn't be hearing the keytones on a stock ROM is either the setting is unchecked or that the volume for system sounds is off. I am on a custom ROM and the sounds are working. So this would mean the issue is one of those, or for some reason files got corrupted. Back up your stuff, and try restoring your phone to factory settings.
So I switched my keyboard from the stock samsung to the stock android and now it works without having changed anything else. This is weird.
I have always found it annoying that I am not able to hear tones dialed while in a call on the GS2.
On my Captivate this was an option, and it actually worked.
On the GS2 there is an option for audible touch tones, but it must only control tones when dialing a number, but not while in a call (ie. when using an automated system etc).

I have a rooted, Liberted HTC Aria. I can set the volume all the way down to vibrate via the rocker, place it on the table, call it from another phone, and the phone will ring.
When I re-check the volume level it is set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
I have repeated this over and over as I though I was just accidentally hitting the rocker while it was holstered, but that's not the case.
I've tried downloading volume lock. I set the phone to vibrate and test volume lock to see if it works.
It does, I get a message to confirm new volume level, if i don't it stays on vibrate, as indicated by the vibrate icon.
Then you call the phone... The phone rings and the volume is now set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
Any ideas, this is a huge inconvenience at work?
Thanks.
Don't know how old this thread is, but I will tell you, you are not going crazy.
I have a vibrant that is rooted and custom rom loaded.
I've had the custom rom for 3-4 months now.
I reloaded some crappy rom, and after I did that, no matter what rom i put on it, I get this ringer problem.
So, no, it's really a problem, you're not imaging it.
So far I can only think that the default build.prop has been funked with.
Or, one of the programs that you installed is messing with it.
I think that it more likely is #1 because on fresh install the phone is fine. But upon reloading all my apps (apps only, no data/ system data), the damn phone will funk up and do the ring crap again.
So, try Odin - to stock and from there, flash a brand new rom and restore one by one.
Sorry mate, that's what I've found, it sucks. I hope you found a solution for this. Like I said, I have a Vibrant, so I don't browse the "Aria" forum at all. I found this thread on GOOGLE.
If you find out anything, PLZ PLZ PLZ, - contact me.

Hey guys,
I apologize if this is a repost, and if it is, feel free to berate me, but I have read a lot of posts on various forums about this and still have a few questions. I am running the CleanROM Verizon SE, however I am fairly certain that this is an issue with the stock ROM as well.
Problem: I really dislike the sound settings in the Note 2.
Reasons: The volume rocker only changes the volume of the ringer, and not of the notifications. Setting the phone to vibrate really only sets the ringer to vibrate. In order for it to vibrate for SMS, I have to check Vibrate check box in the messaging app settings, which means that it also vibrates when the phone is not on vibrate (when the ringer is on, I'm not sure if it still vibrates when it is on silent)
What I (and probably many other Note 2 users) Want: The volume rocker to control every noise that comes out of the phone (phone calls, texts, gmails, other notifications) except media and alarms. When I put it on vibrate, I want everything that would make a sound if the ringer were on to vibrate (phone calls, texts, gmails). And when it is on silent, I want no noise to come out of the phone.
This is the way it was on my previous phones (Thunderbolt, Blackberry), and it is a really basic thing for Samsung and/or Google to mess up.
Question: Do you guys know of any app, mod (I am rooted), or ROM where this is fixed, and is at least somewhat close to what I want? When it comes to ROM's, I would ideally like to stay with TW, since I do enjoy the S Pen functionality and all of the other features, like multiwindow and motions.
I have read that Light Flow may have what I want, but that it has a few bugs with the Note 2.

When you click the rocker, as it is changing the ringer volume, there is a settings icon to the right of the volume. Clicking that brings up the sound settings for notifications, alarms, media, etc.
Not sure if this is as detailed as you need it. As for vibrate, not sure what you mean? Anytime I put my phone on silent, the only thing that makes any noise is the alarm (obviously) and none of my apps that would vibrate actually do vibrate when on silent. Sorry I can't help you there.
I use Lightflow for the led, but have not yet used it for the actual sound notification portion.

I know you can press the little gear icon and that gives you a few more options when it comes to sound. That does what I want when it comes to sound, but is kind of a pain in the butt. I feel like the rocker should change both the notification and the ringer volume.
For vibrate, the biggest thing is messaging and gmail. I don't want my phone to vibrate when I get a text and the sound is on. But when my phone is on vibrate, I want it to vibrate when I get a text. The setting in the stock messaging app makes it vibrate both when the sound is on and when the phone is on vibrate. As I said in the OP, I'm not sure if it also vibrates when on silent, because I don't use silent often.

Yea, I remember the Thunderbolt had the option to tie the notification volume to the ringer volume (which I think is what you talked about in OP) - unfortunately, short of setting each specific notification (a la a third party app) I'm not sure I've come across a better option. Sorry.

What third party app can do that?

I don't know of a ready-made third party app, but I have used Tasker for certain apps.
This would require a special profile to be created for each and every app. I use a special profile that controls who can call me at night when my phone is on silent, and have set up various vibrate patterns for different apps to differentiate them. I haven't used it for every app, but something like that could possibly be accomplished.
Again, not much of a ready-made solution

Ah, okay. Thanks for your help. I'll definitely keep that in mind. The only apps I would do that for are text and gmail. Tasker is kind of pricey though.
If anybody else has any other ideas, feel free to tell me!
I just got my One yesterday and so far ive only had one problem. When I put it on silent or vibrate mode, Notification sounds still play for sms etc. is this a bug or just how the phone works? coming from a galaxy nexus where silent mode would stop all sound.

Mine mutes sound in vibrate. I haven't used silent.
Go into the messaging app press menu and choose settings. There you will find the options for notifications

i have the same problem n this is the second htc one im using n still getting this problem..when i put the phone on silent it will ring out laud when i put it on vibrate it will still ring out laud wtf is going on ??? anybody knows
Why should someone need to modify the SMS app settings? If you put the overall phone on vibrate, that should be the prevailing condition. Mine not only plays notification sounds when on vibrate-only, it also rings...LOUDLY.
I'm having this issue as well! Every time I change the profile, I have to manually set the sound options. When I switch profiles, the settings never save. Does this defeat the purpose of profiles?! Why is this even an issue?! Anyone find a solution yet?
Turn off "Pocket mode"
Nope, still resets all profiles.
The only thing I can think of is maybe the contacts that are calling you are set up as "VIP"?
I saw another thread that said those contacts will always make the phone ring regardless of sound settings..
It's not just the calls. When I go to sounds, I select normal and put all the volumes to max. I go to vibrate and set all of the volumes to mute. When I switch back to normal, the notifications and alarms are mute and the calls are max. Nothing ever saves. I just want normal mode to have all volumes max and vibrate to mute everything. I'm completely new to Android, but there's got to be a simple way to do this.
So you're saying that after you select the "sound profile", you also manually make changes to the individual settings after that?
Because my impression of the profiles is that they are pre-set profiles.. and once you change a setting manually it is not going to "save" that change. The sound profiles are just that: pre-set profiles that you cannot save changes to.
I could be wrong though.
That could be a possibility. I find it a bit peculiar that they give you the options to change settings, but doesn't let you save them. I'm hoping that isn't the case, but if it is is there a way to create your own custom profiles? And would there be a way to switch to those profiles using the quick settings coming out with 4.2.2?
Honestly I haven't been interested in the profile feature. I pretty much keep my phone on one setup which is 80% volume for ringtone/notifications and 60% for media all day I don't need to constantly change profiles. If I need minor adjustments during the day I make them on the spot. So I'd have to look into it

Thanks for the help. I just find it hard to believe there's no way to set your own preferences. I even downloaded a 3rd party app that supposedly allowed you to create your own profiles. I set the Vibrate profile to silence on everything, to test it I text myself and bam the phone makes noise. Awesome. I just don't understand how this can be, it's starting to get a bit frustrating.
So let me ask a couple of questions so that I can target the right solution for you -
1. Are you just looking for something that will 'silence' your phone during certain times of the day/night? Or do you need something more complicated than that?
2. Do you need the sound profile to also have the option to be activated based on location? or just time
thanks
I'm not looking for anything location or time specific. I just want to have the option to switch off all sounds and have vibrate only whenever I need it. And the option to swap back to normal, of which I would like to have everything on full volume. For example, on the iPhone there was an external switch that shut all noises down and switched the phone over to vibrate or silent depending on the users settings. There is no external switch on the HTC One, so I'm trying to find a quick way to do that internally. I thought that was the purpose of the profiles, but I guess I'm mistaken. There must be a way to do this.

Yes, that's how the profiles (should) work.
When you want to switch to silent/vibrate, just select one of those. But don't manually adjust anything after that. Only switch the profile.
But honestly, it just sounds like you need to hold "down" volume until it hits vibrate, or silent.. and then hit "up" volume when you want sound back. Don't understand what it is you're trying to do, sounds like you're over-complicating this IMO. Because you're not asking for anything special.

From the HTC One user guide
Changing ringtone settings
Switching between silent, vibrate, and normal modes
Do one of the following:
- To change from silent to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button.
- To change from vibrate to normal mode, press the VOLUME UP button twice.
- Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Sound > Sound profile.
Lowering the ring volume automatically
HTC One has a quiet ring feature that automatically lowers the ring volume when you
move it.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Quiet ring on pickup option.
Making HTC One ring louder in your pocket or bag
To help avoid missing incoming calls when HTC One is in your pocket or bag, the
pocket mode feature gradually increases the ring volume and vibrates when you
receive a call.
1. Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap .
2. Tap Sound.
3. Select the Pocket mode option.
Right, that's what I thought. That this should be extremely easy. However, it is not. One way to do it is to hold the volume rocker in either direction and it changes the profile. BUT, when I switch it to vibrate, the notifications and alarms still make sound. Only the ringtone is silenced. That is not what I want. I want ALL sounds to be silenced, which is what I thought the settings would be for. When I change them it works, everything is silenced. But once I switch back to normal, Vibrate goes back to being ringtone-silent, notifcations & alarms - max volume. I hope my situation makes a bit more sense now. I would consider myself pretty tech savvy, so trust me when I say this is extremely frustrating. Thanks for your help so far though!

I just looked at it again and the "default" volumes for normal mode seem to be max volume and mute notifications and alarms. Why on earth would that be the default. Why would I want my alarms to be silent when its in normal mode. lol So I change notifications and alarm to max volume, switch the profile to vibrate and then back to normal. The volumes are then set back to max volume ringtone and mute notifications / alarm. WHYYYYY..
That's why when I want the phone on vibrate or silent, I just hold volume down. Then nothing makes sound. Not the notifications, ringtones, nothing. Using the profiles sounds like a hassle to me.
When I switch it to vibrate like that, the notifications, alarms and media are all still at max volume.
I am currently an iPhone 4s user and really like the way that the switch toggles between no sound (vibrate) and sound. I leave me phone in vibrate mode for most of the day and in the evening I tend to switch it to sound so I can hear the alerts from around my house when I don't have the phone with me. I am thinking about switching to an android device (S4 or HTC One) and have a few friends that haven't been able to duplicate the behavior of the iPhone. They get sound with vibration or some other weird combinations that wont work for me. Is this a limitation of the OS or is it device specific? I basically want everything to vibrate (Ringer, SMS, Email) with the option of changing everything to sound, no combinations of the two. I also need to distinguish between types of messages by using different vibration patterns.
Thanks.

I've seen several people recommend something like tasker or quick settings to setup a home screen item that would switch all apps to vibrate and one that would switch all apps to sound. Is this something that anyone has done? I really want to toggle between all sound and all vibrations with no combination of the two.
Thanks...
Hey guys,
I am running ICS. Like others, I am kind of frustrated that you cannot set separate volumes for incoming calls and notifications/texts.
It wasn't a huge deal, I could use Setting Profiles lite to put my phone on vibrate when I plug it into a charger, I could use a call blocker to prevent an incoming call from preventing my alarm from going off (it happens if I get a call at the same time the alarm is set to go off). But I ended up purchasing and installing ICS+ Enhanced Ringer Control, which separated volumes but didn't allow for enough customization over controls to be really convenient. It still would have generally worked well enough for me, especially since my speaker is broken and my device is automatically silent without a bluetooth speaker (so I wouldn't have to adjust ringer volume on the go), but...
Ever since installing (and subsequently uninstalling) Enhanced Ringer Control, custom vibration patterns no longer work for me - I mean they work but not for notifications/alerts. That means incoming calls and texts and e-mails are back to the same, generic, easy enough to miss patterns. I tried re-installing Smart Vibrator thinking permissions needed to be reset, but that did not work. I am assuming that re-installing Aqua Mail (which gives the option of a custom pattern for incoming e-mail) would also not work.
I e-mailed the developer of Enhanced Ringer Control, but I figured I might have better luck finding a fix here. Thanks in advance. I prefer custom vibration to "Enhanced Volume Control."
