Hi all.
I have an MDA c.III with WM6.
Everything seems to work fine, except the phone does not ring when called.
I can hear audio (tried mp3 and FM radio), I hear ther reminders from calendar and tasks, I also hear the SMS notification.
However, when someone calls me, the MDA vibrates (if set to do so) but does not ring.
Upon choosing the ring, if i "click" the test button the ring sounds.
When called, it doesn't.
I have tried quite a lot with settings (there are several points for this in the software) to setup the rings; however, it simply doesn't make a sound upon incoming calls.
Would anyone have any suggestion (or simply the solution) for this problem?

Had a similar problem and found that other installed software seemed to effect it. Similar tale with sms notification but a soft reset seemed to resolve the issue but it's not an ideal solution.
Most likely this is a file association problem. If you've installed another media player and associated WAV, MP3, WMA, etc. then the phone will not ring. The association needs to remain with the Windows Mobile Media Player.
I've tried to verify this, but where do I tind the file associations in WM6?

Is the phone volume (as opposed to the pda sound volume) slider turned up ?
Phone volume is ok (there are 2 sliders, one for PDA, one for phone).
I checked file associations with Total Commander.
Media files are correctly associated with windows media player; when "clicked" upon WMP starts and plays the files, including the ring tones.
However, when called the phone still does not ring...
What the heck...

Puzzling. I guess you've checked all the obvious things - ring volume, settings in the phone options, sound & notification options, etc. Have you also tested if the phone will vibrate if you turn audio off, or does it still go directly to VM? Has it ever rang? Do you have any other phone / dialer software running, a recent change? Could be a ROM or [gasp] self-inflicted issue. If all else fails - hard reset or switch ROMs.

It vibrates normally.

I got it second hand; the information I have is that it used to ring and vibrate normally before it got to me.

No other phone software.
No recent changes that I have performed, apart from the normal menu items personalization, chosing ring tones, audio volume and adding a few mp3's.

I'd really need to avoid that because I use the phone for work and 1) do not have the time right now to reisntall all the applications 2) cannot risk to brick the phone and be left "hanging" without.

The only other suggestion I might offer is to ensure that your ringtones are good. Try using the stock ringtones that came with the Windows Mobile, if you aren't already. You can find them in these forums if you need them. Maybe also try different types, all small files, such as WAV, WMA, MP3 and see if you can make ANY of them work.
All media files work when played with WMP.
Also, while configuring the ringtones, hitting the "test" button ringtons play ok.
That's precisely the odd thing.
Everything works fine (calendar alerts, alarm, sms slerts, fm radio, mp3's, etc.) except that when called the phone does not ring!
So far it is the ONLY thing that does not work in my phone!
It's sooo frustrating...

Check settings by starting the phone (green phone button) > Menu > Options > Services tab > select Call Forwarding > click Get Settings.
Ensure you don't have the "Forward all incoming phone calls" box unchecked. Also check the third drop down list that indicates how many seconds before forwarding to voice mail. Set it to 20 or 30 seconds.
Should look something like the attached. Except your voicemail service number will be different depending upon your location. If this doesn't work, then I'm tapped of ideas - sorry.
Thanks for the suggestion, but didn't work.
I suppose I'm only left with hard reset...
But I'd really hate to do it...
.wav and .mp3 will play but not .wma
I'm having this same problem too. I think I caused the problem when I installed MortPlayer and associated file extensions with Mort. Even with uninstalling Mort, .wma files won't play. What's interesting is .wav files and .mp3 WILL play as the ringtone. I've checked file associations and .wma = Media Player but the .wav extension is somehow not listed (using Schaaps Advanced Config to see file extensions.) Thoughts on this very frustrating problem are appreciated!
I'm sorry if I'm not very encouraging, but I simply gave up.
I use my phnoe mostly for work, so I cannot afford to have it inoperative as I try other roms or windows installations.
In some way, I have come around the problem by using a bluetooth earpiece that rings. It's not very loud, but it helps.
Hello gyc,
I also had that problem several times and in my case it was always related to 3rd party MP3-Software. Have a look at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Problems and try, if fixing the entries at the registry (e.g. using total commander ce) helps ...

I can't find any independent volume control on the TF3D music tab
Does it have one? Thanks

I don't think so...well I don't own a Touch Pro2 but I've used Touch Flo3D before...
This is one of the reasons why I hesitate from getting a Touch Flo 3D phone. I feel that the MP3 player is incomplete.
Well, why not using the VolumeDown/Up keys on the left side? It's the same like an application-integrated volume control ...!

I have a question about that.
I was in the library today, and as such, my mobile needs to be on 'vibrate' or 'silent', but I also want to listen to music at the same time.
The only way I could listen to music was to turn the volume up, and thus the phone wasn't on vibrate anymore, which meant when I got SMS's and phone calls, the phone went off blaring =="
Any ideas?
In the volume screen you have two settings System and Ring, set the ring to silent and leave the System alone
That works only when you disable the non-stereo handsfree function in the bt profile of the headset. At least that's what happened with my old Elf. Haven't tried it on my Rhodium yet, but know for sure that with both profiles selected it will ring anyway.

If you need the separated Volume controls for system and ring, search for VolumeControl 1.x in the HD section! This might work on our Rhodiums as well!
Some sounds do not show up in the Sounds Notifications control panel. Is there any way to change these hidden System sounds? For instance, where I am, each time the data connection disconnects I receive a message from my service provider and it is the Notify.wma sound. I would like to change that sound to something else (less jarring) but I cannot find where it is.
I will second this, I would like to change the key click.
You can put your sounds in the Application Data/Sounds file. They will show up in your drop down list.
OR do what I do.. I use a program called JUST TONES and all my custom ringers are on my memory card. THis progam does a lot but one thing it does is allow me to assign system sounds to the ringers on my memory card...

I think the OP is asking how they can be changed, not asking how to have more choices of sounds.
That one is listed (and modifiable) under Settings (All Settings)>Sounds and Notifications>Notifications. "Connection disconnected" and "Connection established" are both listed....so pick a different sound.
Can anyone help with this.
The sound menu has the System tab containing Keypad Touch Tones, Touch Sounds, Screen Lock Sounds, Pull-to-Refresh Sounds, Vibrate on Touch. Some of these i need explanations for as they do not seem to work. My handset is not on Power Saving mode.
Touch Sounds - Plays sounds when making screen selection. .
Pull-to-Refresh sounds - Plays sounds when refreshing feeds and content.
Obviously the description the menu gives is self explanatory but i dont hear anything from these 2 options.
Eg. il swipe left to blinkfeed or go into the app drawer and no sound is heard. Isnt this meant to be the 'Touch Sound.'
If im scrolling through Blinkfeed and pull down to refresh shouldnt i hear a sound if 'Pull-to-Refresh Sound' is active.
NB. The other menu boxes work in sounds although 'Screen Lock Sounds' is practically inaudible but does work.
Am i missing something?
Again thanks for your time and any reply.
The thread title says it all. With normal voice typing on Gboard, it doesn't make that annoying ding sound when you Hit the voice typing icon. But with assistant voice typing enabled, the incredibly annoying ding is there, and I can't figure out how to remove it. I don't want to turn down the media volume because then the whole device is muted.
I've heard that tasker can do this, but I don't know if it's true. Does anyone know of a surefire way or even ADB command to this fukking thing?
It's the same annoying ding sound when you say hey Google, so likely turning this off will turn off that annoying sound as well.
I'd also like to have that ding removed, definitely is a bit annoying

Has anyone figured out how to do this? Evidently I sure fire way to do it is to completely remove any sort of accessibility service you have installed. But that is not a realistic option. Using Nova launcher, for example is a must, and must be enabled through accessibility to get full functionality.

This is driving me so incredibly insane, words don't do it justice - as that ding sound is so loud, and I just don't want to broadcast everyone around me that I'm using it....
Also, using do not disturb mode just to make it go away, is simply not realistic.
I think if you rename one of the .ogg sounds in the UI media folder it should eliminate the sound.
You'd need root to touch that folder though. I'll see if I can find the exact sound file.
Edit: doesn't look like it's in the system UI sounds. Very odd
