[Q] Aria / Android Ringer Volume broken

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.

[Q] Tasker - anyone having issues with vibrate not working on

I have a very simple profile set up to put my phone in silent mode during certain days and times. The profile is being executed as expected. I can go into Sound menu on the phone and see that the phone was put into silent mode. However, the silent and vibrate icons are not displayed in the notification bar. Even more troublesome, is that the phone wont actually vibrate when I get a call or notification. If I manually deselect and select silent, I will see both icons and the phone functions as expected. Is there perhaps some bug in Tasker that is not handling this correctly?
My phone is the Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted running Unnamed rom.
BUMP....sorry to bump this but was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue?
More information: I downloaded Sound Manager which is an app that shows the status of the various volume & vibrate settings. After Tasker has executed the profile to put my phone into silent mode, I used Sound Manager to doublecheck my vibrate status, and both calls and notifications are set to not vibrate at all even though in my phone settings I have vibrate on silent. When I change the call and notification vibrate settings in Sound Manager to vibrate on silent as well, I see the appropriate icons . This tells me that Tasker is doing something wrong when setting my phone to silent.
Any ideas?
I am having a similar problem
I set the "silent mode" to "vibrate" (in tasker) but I get an icon of silent instead of vibrate.
Same problem here, tasker puts phone in silent mode bud doesn't enable vibration (manually setting silent mode in statussbar works fine) looks like tasker bug to me.
Galaxy s2
Rom: KI4 rooted
EDIT:
HA! Found it! Silent Mode in tasker doesn't have 2 modes (ON and OFF). Instead it has 3 (on, VIBRATE, off). Set it to VIBRATE and you ar back in bussiness
Checked it - works. If others confirm we can mark this one solved
I have a very similar issue. I have a profile that is triggered when I am near two cell towers at my work. The actions put the Phone Ringer to volume 0 and enable vibrate, and I see the vibrate icon in the notification tray, but I've tested calling myself from my office phone, and the phone still rings at normal volume.
I'm using an LG G3, rooted and running stock ROM, Android 5.
similar issue for meI have a profile that activates when my phone sees the wifi at work will set the phone to silent mode (3 – vibrate). It works fine when I first get in as it will vibrate, but then after some unknown amount of time it will set the ringer back to wherever it was (like it exits the profile) but the profile is still active in tasker. If I manually reexecute the profile it will stay in vibrate the rest of the day. Ideas?

[Q] Vibration turns off automatically

Hi,
I have the annoying problem that my s2 turns off vibration mode when put to silence. If you manually go under settings->sound->silent mode and put that to 'vibrate' it works for that time being. But the next time, it all go back to no-vibration mode.
Looking at my friend phone(s2), he got the option of two different mode of silent when using the volume up/down. One with vibration and one without.
I honestly don't know how to fix this very annoying problem. I just want the vibration to be active at all times!
Any hints that can point me in the right direction?

just change your settings to mute ringtone and media volume for a diffrent profile that you dont use
I tried that, and it doens't work.
I've also reset to factory default, with no luck.
In fact, when I put my phone to silent and manually go to settings to put on vibration( I can see the vibration icon on top). It still does not vibrate on notification, ringing nor sms. But strangely from third party application it vibrates, like whatapp messenger.
vibration work when I have sound on.
So the problem is that when I put it on silent it automatically turns off the vibration mode.. and when I manually put silent mode to vibration, it still doesn't vibrate, only on 3rd party apps..
It sounds to me that this is some software issue, but can't really seem to find any solution to this very annoying problem.
Anyone?

[Q] XWLS8 stock vibrate during call?

Hi All,
I´ve flashed deodexed XWLS8 stock from here and I am experiencing vibration during call when a new message comes in.
I am not able to disable it even if I have turned off notifications during call.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
The only way to turn off the vibration completely is to select the message app then menu/settings and scroll down towards the bottom till you find "vibrate" butonce you untick it you wont have vibration at all.
I think it vibrates anyway when you have it turned on.
thanks but I don´t think that is right. The setting you are suggesting WILL turn off vibration for that app completely.
I don´t think it should be vibrating when I am speaking to someone else, its very annoying.
Thanks!
If its set to vibrate in settings it will vibrate no matter what.In the latest firmware releases Samsung have changed the system.UI so this could also change the behaviour of things compared to previous firmwares.
