[Q]ICS Ring Volume - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I found that one other person posted this in the Shostock thread, so I figured I'd at least ask. I'm currently on Shishir's ICS rom, but I noticed it also on the UCLC2 leak: when I get an incoming call, the ring volume starts off very quiet for the first half-second or so, then immediately jumps to the set ringing volume (which for me is pretty high). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there any fix? Or is it a bug that's well known and not yet fixed and I'm just an idiot? Any help would be appreciated

A lot of Samsung phones have the Increasing Ringtone. When I had the Samsung Eternity, it started with low volume then jumped to a higher volume, same with my Samsung Captivate. I think it's one their "features" for their phone.

I never experienced it on stock 2.3.4 though. My gf's captivate doesn't do it either. So I don't think that's it. Any other ideas?

I remember that feature on old pre-smartphone era phones. I haven't seen that in any versions of the S II or android from GB to ICS...

I wonder if bumping is allowed in this forum.
Does anyone have any useful information about this at all? Is it even happening to anyone else on custom ICS roms?

I know this won't be much help but I have used a few ROM's...unnamed..Phone Bricker...Turkbey....Turkbey ICS and never had that issue.

Random bump to see if anyone knows anything now. Does it happen to anyone on Sammy-based ROMs? AOSP ROM users do chime in too please

Increasing ring, you can remove it by modding it.
Shostock, Phone-Bricker, not sure what else have removed it so it doesn't do that.

Wouldn't that help you get to it quicker since you have it "pretty high"

How complicated would such a mod be, especially on an odexed ROM? XD

I have no idea how to mod on odex files.
Shirshir knows I believe since his rom is the only odex in our phone.

I don't remember mine doing that.
yea it starts out low and gets louder as it rings
Is it doing this with every ringtone? Are you rooted and/or on another rom? Never seen this myself on various roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
yes im rooted tried two different roms still does it
I have the complete opposite problem - ringtones start out very, very loud then drop down to a lower volume after about 5 seconds. Same effect no matter what ringtone I try. Odd.

[Q] How to adjust vibration intensity in AOKP?

Sorry if this is an obvious answer, but so far have been unable to find a solution through xda and Google searches. I'm currently running Task's b31.
Do you mean for phone calls or for text messaging? or do you mean for the soft keys?

Soft keys, key presses, keyboard.
At this time I believe there's no way to adjust it, and it's low on the priority list since it's not adversely affecting anything.
And as to the vibrate when you unlock the screen, I've not found a way to disable it. Seems every thread I've read about it says you can't disable it right now. Hopefully in a future update but it's definitely low on the priority scale for me anyhow.
Please tell me how to reduce vibration intensity on lock screen.
Thanks
Nice find! And only 2 months dead! How many people did it take to dig this up? Shovels or by hand ?

Lol. Why u no givez vibration intensity buttttonz?! Haha. I actually got used to it after a while. U can do it yourself, but to me its just....meh. Not one of those uber important things.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
This is simple... Just use the Fluxi kernel. You can adjust the intensity using the xxtweaker app
Foxhound rom has an option to reduce the intensity of vibration.It is the only aosp rom with that option i think.

Yeah except he asked how to do it on AOKP. Which is....not foxhound. That's like saying how to I build and compile with windows and someone yelling USE LINUX! lol

Yuuuuup! There's no way to do it on stock AOKP, but you can if you flash ktoonsez's Fluxi kernel(which has been reported to work amazing with AOKP). Launch xxTweaker -> Sound and Vibration -> Vibration intensity -> BOOM

ICS updated but want Ginerbread back i think

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

In Call Volume

What controls in call volume? Is it kernel or the radios? I've seen patches to fix the volume in sense 4 roms, but what do they actually do? Just curious and trying to learn as much as possible. If there's a file or set of files that can be modified, what are they and how can I edit them? Thanks
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Could someone help me out with this? It seems like every other Rom I flash has no in call volume, mostly sense 4 and aosp roms. Someone has got to know what files to tinker with to correct this issue. I know its not hardware, I'm on the stock ruu leak now and its fine, and I wipe thoroughly between every Rom. I'm willing to donate $10 big bucks on my payday to anyone who can successfully help me. And I know that's not a lot, but its a 6pk of brew and a pack of smokes or coffee for a couple days or hours depending on the person. I'm desperate right now. Thanls

There is app called Call Recorder which turns on speaker phone, makes it significantly louder than usual. It records all phone calls. This may not be legal in your state unless you answer each call by informing the other party that the call is being recorded.

Thanks, but no thanks, I'm looking for a more permanent fix or a systematic fix, its something in the coding between roms that's making the in call volume suck.

Back in the CM7 days on the Eris, we used to flash a patch to really crank up all the volume. I still had the patch sitting in my dropbox and I'll upload it here if you'd like to take a look.

This only happens to me when I'm trying to use my phone while it is plugged in and charging. It acts all crazy, but once I unplug it the thing works fine. I pretty much keep my phone in ECO mode and haven't switched that off to see if it makes a difference.
Same here. I keep my phone on ECO mode and have no issues with responsiveness, except for once in a while when it's plugged in and charging.

It's probably a kernel-level memory or CPU issue because for most people it appears to be a specifically time-based problem. The longer your uptime is, the worse the problem gets. Reboot your phone and the problem goes away for awhile.

I've edited your post. This is a great example of the same phone, running a similar set up behaving completely different. The user you quoted wasn't doing anything other than stating that they don't have this problem so chill out a little and accept that each person can have a different experience and opinion. If you've got nothing useful to say, say nothing.
Thanks
