Phone stops ringing when moved. Can't use in my pocket. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi community!
My phone mutes if i pick it up while ringing.
Kinda remember there is a mod or app which makes ringing less loud when the phone senses being picked up to recieve the call.
That might be useful sometimes, but i don't have any of such installed.
I browsed through settings, ROM control, but haven't find any motion controlled sound option.
This is quite annoying, i miss a lot of calls, cause most of the time i carry the phone in my pocket, so it's always moving and never ringing.
Vibration works perfect though.
Any help is much apprecited.
Btw.: i'm on P.A.C. ROM, with latest Dorimanx kernel.
I never had any issue whatsoever, that's why i try to avoid wiping the phone and put the whole thing together again from scratch.
Cloned as second ROM and installed again without wipe, to get rid of the mods, but didn't help.
Thanx for your help in advance! :highfive:

Sounds like a ROM issue.
So ask in ROM thread.
Could also be a hardware issue, but check all ROM settings first.
Good luck !

Thanx anyways!

[BUG] telephone feature complete silent

Hi,
I am having a bug where the telephone feature gets completely silent. Means no one can hear me, I can hear no one, not even the free line signal. Everything else on the phone is fine.
I tried flashing different modems to no avail. Also I checked whether it's headphone related, but no.
If that bug happens, I have to completely reset the phone. After that, it works again.
Anyone here with similar symptoms and a possible fix? I don't want to reset my phone every six weeks..
I am running CM-10.1 from yesterday but it also happened with CM-10.0
[Q&A] altough Id love to help you I cant find anything related. Try a different, reflash gapps, try a megawipe. It is not rom related because otheres dont have the problem.
Also please, put questions where they belong, in the Q&A section of this forum, not in general. Hit the report button and ask for a move.
Kind regards,
Thomas

I have now resetted it (again) and it works as expected. The process with carbon is a bit easier, but still some manual configuration needed...
If it bothers me enough the next time, I'll try flashing stock.
Wrong modem.

[U] Stock ROM bug or something else?...

I have a problem in my U.
Everytime someone calls me, first the led lights up, then it vibrates about 2-3 times in the middle starts ringing and only after all that the screen turns on so i can answer or reject the call.
After i answer a call sometimes it takes 3-5 sec to hear sound from the other phone, but the caller says he can hear me the whole time.
When receiving SMS, first the led lights up, then after a while it vibrates and after that it rings, but sometimes it doesn't ring.
Another thing, it lags to much to open the contacts, phone and messages app.
My wifes Tipo dual, opens almost instantly the phone app after i touch it.
I'm using The ROM, etc that are stated in my signature.
Please help!! Already tried different kernels, etc. :crying:
It can be something in the mods or it can be the rom itself.
Didi you get these bugs before the mods?
The stock rom sucks, mine did this as well, made the phone unusable.

Already had the excessive lag opening the apps with a fresh stock ROM. Honestly i put and did so many things that i don't know now.
But i installed the Sliding XU 3.3 kernel and it's working almost fine now, only has the original lags opening the apps of the stock ROM.

[Q] Screen turns on in pocket during call with headset?

Hello Everyone.
Wonder if anyone can help me as I think I am going mad!
I use my headset all day (listening to podcasts) and whenever i answer a call, I have to remain very still for fear i will hang up (which happens regularly).
I have had the same problem on many roms - Omega, Temasek, Cyanogenmod, Foxhound and many more, its driving me crazy.
I have also installed proximity service and an app which I cant remember the name of at the moment, but will update when i find out. Needless to say, nothing has worked, the screen always comes on when a call comes in.
Does anyone have any idea what i can do to sort this, i never need my screen on when my phone is in my pocket.
PS I have tasker, maybe i can use that to sort it?
Thanks for any input

[Q] Atrix and headset on CM9

Hi.
I was using my Atrix with CM7 MROM for long time.
Yesterday I switched to CM9 Olympus with new kernel by krystianp. It's great rom but...
I got two little problems:
1. when I plug my headset I don't have icon informing about this.
2. when headset is plugged it auto pick up calls. I found something like this "phone>menu key>call settings>Accessory settings for call" but I don't have this options in my dialer or anywhere else.
Can anyone help me with this? Icon is just a feature I liked but auto answering calls is a little disturbing for me. Especially when I don't know who is/was calling.
It is pretty clear you don't know what you're doing, or else you wouldn't flash an experimental ROM and then complain about a bunch of already very well known issues.
I suggest in the future you stick to GB ROMs and stay away from things you don't understand.

I thought auto answer was normal function which is working and I didn't find anything about problems with it. So if it can be turn on should also be able too turn off...
I know that new kernel and roms are in development and that they have some bugs (proximity sensor, screen tearing, problem with some games) but one app which I needed runs only on 4+ Android.
So could answer me it is possible to turn off auto answering calls or it is bug which I miss reading threads about kernel/cm9/cm10?

Ringtone Reverts to "Silent"

Hey all,
A few days ago, I noticed my phone was only vibrating during incoming calls. I checked the Ringtone section in the sound settings and found that the selected "Tone" was "Silent."
I've tried changing the ringtone to various different sounds, but it continues to revert back to silent. The ringer, itself, ISN'T on silent. It's just the ringtone that seems to get changed somehow.
Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to get it resolved?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you trying to set it to one of the built-in ringtones, or a custom one you added? If it's a custom one, is it on the SD card? I've had problems in the past with phones "losing" ringtones that were installed on the SD card, rather than internal memory.

I thought you might be on to something there, so I made sure that all of my ringtones and notifications were copied to internal storage and deleted all sounds from my SD card.
I rebooted, setup my sounds again, and had my wife call me a few times over a period of about 2 hours. Rang every time.
Then, just now, I noticed I had 3 missed calls from clients. NOT good. Checked the ringtone settings and it was back to "Silent" again! Infuriating.
It's not the location of the file. And, now that I think about it, if it HAD been the issue, I would've been experiencing loss of notification tones in all of my other apps too.
This problem has seemingly arisen out of nowhere. The ringer worked perfectly fine during the first few weeks I've had the S9+. It just started doing this to me a couple of days ago. I'd really rather not go through the annoyance of a hard reset...
Damn it, this is getting REALLY annoying
HaaaaLP MEEEEEH!
I'm having the same issue on my Samsung Note 8. Began happening after the device received the Android 8.0 update. I've tried everything and it seems to happen completely randomly. HELP!
Mine is working fine. I have mine on the internal storage in the Ringtones folder /0/Ringtones/ it's an mp3 less than 2MB in size. Not that I know any of that makes any difference.

I hated doing it, but I just performed a factory reset. Been setting up my phone again for hours and I'm not yet done.
So far, it's ringing, but I'm going to be really disappointed if it reverts to silent again. I'll keep you posted.

Tried that too. It worked for a while then randomly went to silent again. It will stay on the ringtone I set for sometimes as long as a day, but eventually it reverts to silent.

So far so good. I've had 7 incoming calls and the ringtone I've selected has stayed in place. For me, before the reset, it would revert to "Silent" after the 2nd call. Fingers crossed.
Same exact thing is happening to me on my HTC U11.
It started happening right away after a full wipe and install of Bad Boyz ROM (Android 8.0). No one else in that ROM thread seems affected.
I have tried just picking a built in ring tone too, and that will also revert. Sometimes it happens within a few minutes, sometimes it takes hours.

That is exactly what happens to me. Custom ringtones make no difference. I've assigned rintones to all my important contacts and those ring through no matter if on silent mode or not. Like you, sometimes it stays put for hours and other times it changes back after a few minutes. Rebooting seems to help it last longer, but I find myself checking my phone all the time to be sure it hasn't gone to silent ringtone. Frustrating!
Hard to blame Samsung if you're not running their software.

I don't believe anyone is *blaming* Samsung although the thread did begin in a Samsung forum. We're just trying to find out why our phones are behaving badly and hoping to find a way to fix a really frustrating problem. Do you have a suggestion on where we might look?
Well, I think it's safe to say that the hard reset did the trick. Ringtone is sticking now. Hooray.

Glad to hear this seems to be working, but not glad that the answer is factory reset. I really, really don't want to go through that. I think I'll suffer along a bit longer and see if someone comes up with a work around or perhaps an app that can lock the ringtone. One can hope.

Yeah, it was a bit of a pain in the a$$, but worth it. Reset definitely did the trick.
I have the same problem on my S9+ since the last update. the basic sound settings revert to Silent as do custom settings. Has anyone contacted Samsung to dee what their excuse is?
Hi Folks, I've been having the same issue since 3 weeks ago. Called Samsung and was told to delete my customized settings. That DID NOT WORK. Finally a Fix. I wipe my cache partition and it worked.
Turn off your phone. Turn it on while holding Power, Bixby, and Vol. Up buttons until you get the menu. Use volume down to get to Wipe Cache Partition (NOT wipe Personal data/factory reset.) Press PWR to accept.
This does not erase anything and it's worked problem free for about a week. I read in other forums that changing the SIM has fixed this issue, but changing your SIM will clear the Cache as well.
Hope this works for you.
The solution is to quickly remove the old ringtone and replace the new ringtone for the phone
