[Q] System sounds muted (hijacked, perhaps?) - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My Evo LTE seems to have been sound jacked. I don't recall installing any app that would take over sound, and the only updates applied have been prl updates. How can I find what's hijacked my sounds? I can't turn my ringer up past vibrate, and all system sounds are muted. Also, the ringer and notifications sounds are somehow connected. I installed Volume Control+, and when I turn up ringers, notifications goes down and vice versa, but neither one of them stays up - always on vibrate. And no, i'm not rooted. I have never been able to get the HTC bootloader unlock to work.
FYI - media sounds work, as well as alarms.
Help???

Well I don't have a clue what might be wrong with the actual rom. When I have weird problems, I just flash another one... so let's try to address the bootloader problem.
Do you know exactly what is failing? Can you get into fastboot USB? Having trouble copying the token? A little more detail on that would really help. There are just so many things that could be screwing it up, but without knowing what you've tried, it's hard to know what to tell you.

[Q] Settings Auto Reset

I am wondering if anyone else is having an issue where after making setting adjustments (such as ring tone, or screen brightness), once being plugged in for charging, there settings are reverted back or simply enough...changed.
Ive been having this issue and clawing at every possible solution. any suggestions anyone?
Have not had this issue. Are you stock?
no im not stock. im rooted. however ive never had a similar issue with this before. and it did this before root.
For me it's the System Volume
Yes! I have noticed this too. I keep setting my System Volume to about 50%, and it just randomly gets reset back to 100%. I can't figure out of it is an app that is changing it or if turning the phone off and back on does it, or what. It's very annoying.
Hopefully we can determine what's causing it, or if it's a bug and we need Samsung/T-Mobile to fix it.
Your volume is problably from Maps. Everytime I used Google Maps my volume went from whatever I had it set to to 100%
I was having problems with everytime I turned my phone on my animations went from none to full. Drove me crazy. I ended up switching my rom from Stock to Vibrant6 and the issue went away. I haven't tried going back to the first Nandroid Backup I made to see if it was a stock problem or if it was something I installed.
I do recall that after I played with my Font it started happening. Of course I'm not sure if that caused it or not.
I have had this problem ever since Clockwork recovery. if I reboot to do a nandroid my fonts go back to default however whatever i have chosen (ie choco) is still highlighted. the system volume changes at the same time too.
i asked over at cyanogenmod and i seemed to be the only one.
i was about to post a thread about this too lol. mine isn't rooted. i had my ringtone on the silent one, but all of a sudden i hear the tmobile jingle. i was confused cause i had it on the silent ring tone. also have this issue: once i get a text my lockscreen stays on, it doesn't turn off or anything.
I have the issue with ring and notification tones getting changed back to default.
It doesn't seem to matter where I store them.
my phone is rooted, but no other mods

[Q] Quick Set of Questions

I've done some searching around, but I'm still a little lost with Windows Phone.
I've unlocked my bootloader, and installed a non-stock ROM. No issues there.
1. I installed Snotify, but it seems like it doesn't mute media sounds, for some reason. Am I confused here, or is there a way to disable media sounds completely? I realize it's not really a notification, so maybe the dev figured it shouldn't be part of the app, but the last thing I need is to accidentally click on something, launch a game, and have my phone blaring some silly song in class. Any suggestions on a quick way to know for sure that the media volume is at 0, even if the "master volume" is at 30/30 (yet muted via Snotify)?
2. Is there any possibility to make the hard buttons light up as a notification? Just a basic blinking every 5-10 seconds, or something like that, would be fine. If not, is there at least a way to make important notifications (phone + text) repeat until acknowledged? Either through vibration, or audibly, whichever is active at the time.
3. Is there any way to do voice calls, or voice searches in Nokia Drive, so that it's easy to make a call or nav while on the road?
Thanks!

[Q] Weird new sound after unlocking

Hey,
I installed some updates from the store (like extras, apn and whatnot) and now after I unlock my device it sometimes gives me a strange notification sound. I can't say exactly which one it is, because you can't select it for any message/notification type. It even plays the sound when I am in silenced mode.
Any one else with this issue? :/
bye, Smirny
I think one of the updates added a notification sound when you unplug the charger cable. May be that's what you are hearing
I noticed a weird sound when taking the phone off charge, Or did I dream it?

A recent Nokia app update has added a bug that plays a notification sound when unplugging from a charger. It has been reported to the relevant development team but I've got no idea how long it will take to correct it.
As for a notification sound when unlocking the 920, there is a setting for that under Ringtones + Sounds. But it shouldn't play if the phone is in silent mode so it could be related to the other bug which has also been implicated as a possible cause of some apps not working and requiring a hard reset to get the phone working properly again.

[Q] Phone not ringing on Normal

I've had my DNA since late November and I used to keep it on vibrate all of the time. Now that I keep it on Normal sound, I've noticed that the phone doesn't ring when I get a call. If I'm lucky, I'll catch it lighting up and be able to answer it. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any ways to fix it?
I do have a song that I've downloaded as my ringtone. I also have the Call Control app. I was wondering if either of these could be the problem?
Any suggestions?
ditto

[Q] Sound disappears! No idea when someone rings me!

A rather annoying issue has started to plague my Z2 and I was wondering if anyone else has come across it?
For the past two or so weeks it I've been having a number of missed calls (important one as well), this is despite the fact the phone as been three foot away from me. I've not heard it ring. Which is defeat the whole point of the thing.
I've now found out that occasionally it seems to want to stop making any sound. No notifications, ringtones etc. During one of it's tantrums I tried to play a MP3 via Doubletwist and it simply skipped through all of the album in record time without a single sound being played.
The only way to rectify this PIA issue is to reboot the phone.
I've also noticed that the vibrate is also occassionaly turned off, which is equally annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
My phone is on 402 and rooted.
Thanks for any advice.
Do you have any apps installed like "sd card fix" or something like that? An app that should bring back the Feature to write on sd card with other then system app? For me these apps are making similiar problems. After deinstalled, everything working as it should be.
Thank you for your reply!
I've gone through and checked, and I don't have anything like that on my phone.
My old Galaxy S3 used to play up at times by refusing to receive calls and I found out it was down to my ringtone which seemed to be 'corrupt'. A reboot and it was back up and running.
This though is odd, as I don't have ANY sound. It's as if the sound part of the phone has given up the ghost!!!
I'm not even sure what makes it happen, which is REALLY annoying. At least then I could rectify it. It just happens.
