WM6/HTC Home volume setting keeps getting reset - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hi,
Anybody have probs with a Vario II/Hermes and WM6 whereby you set the ringer mode to "vibrate only" in the HTC Home application, but then randomly throughout the day it resets itself to the default 50% on both sliders?
When I check the HTC Home app it still thinks that I'm on "vibrate only" but the icon in the titlebar says otherwise. I can either set the sliders manually, or just press the "vibrate only" button in the HTC Home app to correct it, but I'm fed up with having to do it several times a day.
The speaker is pretty loud on these so it's annoying when I get an email and the entire building can hear it...

85 views and nothing?

1. which HTC Home version are you using?
2. which rom you are using?
3. did you hard reset you device manually after upgrade?
4. try to flash rom with HTC home built if you wish to have that.

Hi, thanks for the response! Answers below:
1. There's no version number that I can see - I downloaded it from here though.
2. The ROM is from the T-Mobile UK "upgrade your phone" page - it doesn't come with the HTC stuff on it as standard so I installed them from the downloads posted here. I chose it because it makes it semi-official, and I thought that I'm more likely to get help if I brick the phone...
3. Yup. In fact, for various reasons the device has been reset a number of times, and I've even done a hard-reset and re-installed all the HTC stuff to try to fix it.
4. Is this a known problem then? Do I need a non-official ROM with HTC Home installed to make it work?
I have actually taken to using the main volume control in the top bar to set my phone to "vibrate", but it still has this odd behaviour of randomly reverting to a loud setting. I'm wondering now if the HTC Home app is a red herring, and that something else (ActiveSync? Meeting reminders?) could be overriding my volume setting? I never user the phone as a phone - it's just my email device so there's never a requirement for it to have the ringer volume up higher than "vibrate"!

How do I use auto profiles in HTC home?

I used HTC home customizer to change my tabs and I noticed that one of my profiles is "auto" Where would i set auto profiles?
Automatic profile sets volume to Vibrate during an appointment
I never would have figured that out. Thanx!
You're welcome
But does it work? I tried it today. At the time the meeting was scheduled, the icon in the top bar changed from loudspeaker to vibrate. I assumed it was working, but then a call got through and I heard the normal ringtone.
I checked and even though the top bar icon had changed, the phone was actually in "normal" mode, not "vibrate". I set it manually to "vibrate" and then it began working as expected.
I'm using the 4.0 Black&Blue PdaViet ROM for HTC Artemis. It includes HTC Home but it's not the real HTC Touch, could it be that? Anyone else?

WM6 Switches to Vibrate Randomly

Hi all,
I've noticed that since upgrading to WM6 (HTC official in my case - v3.54.255 from the Wiki), my TyTN goes into Vibrate mode by itself. This is even after I turn the speaker volume up, the phone just eventually goes into silent/vibrate mode on it's own. Any suggestions? Is this new ROM have a "smart" ringer profiler that thinks it knows when I want silent mode and normal? Is there a place to change this or turn that service off?
If this has been covered before then please don't slam me, just show me the link. Thanks for your time.
Do you have the HTC Home plugin? Is your ringer profile on "automatic"?

...And also when it goes to 'Vibrate' you are having an active appointment in calendar?
Mine goes into vibrate mode even though i put the "Normal" profile all the time. This usually happens during my appointments but they remain in vibrate mode even after the appointment is over. I'm using Pandora's 7.1 ROM

just stumbled on this thread. I don't use the poutlook to know it's "typical" behavior (use Xpress Mail instead because of Lotus Notes), but that it doesn't go back into audio mode after the appointment seems strange - but then this is M$ stuff so one can't assume too much.
I'd suggest (if you don't get any better suggestions) to try another rom, (many to choose from) and see if they exhibit any different behavior.
Otherwise, I've never had issues with vibe mode, even while using the "non-fixed" version of the 6 button home plugin.
I think one of the HTC Home Pluggin in the reason...
I too had this issue some time back but then I started using one of the latest HTC Home Pluggin which installs on the HTC Home directory(not windows). That solved the problem.
If you can un-install the HTC Home(if not built in to the ROM) then try that otherwise new ROM is the only hope.

HTC One X sms notification, video camera focus and menu button

Some thoughts on my HTC One X: I love this phone it's amazing however there are 3 little issues I have encountered .
1. Video recording constantly goes out of focus (i upload and unboxing video of the HTC Bluetooth speaker and you can see the camera issues there).
2. Text message notifications do not work properly if at all, on three occasions I missed txt mssg because I didn't get a notification, I only saw them when I was looking up a contact or by browsing through my widgets.
3. The menu button is placed in the top right corner for many apps which forces you to reach for it,this button should have been placed in the bottom of the display for more convenience since that is where you hold the phone from.
Finally, while typing this, I realized that when using text trace, if you notice a word was mis typed after moving forward you cannot just double tap to get word suggestions or remove it,you have to back space the whole word. I hope HTC can issue a software update to address these issues.the sooner the better

1. That's Constant Auto focus, just turn it off in settings.
2. Reset your phone, I have no issue with Text notifications.
3. That's nothing to do with the phone, it's the way the App Implements the Menu button.

HTC 10 and Wear silent mode not dnd

So I've just received my HTC 10. Got it as a gift and it's an upgrade from my Galaxy S6. There is a lot to like, but I've found some very annoying things that I seem unable to solve. Like not being able to edit the Quick Settings and the reason for opening this thread: no way of turning off sound AND vibration while using a an Android Wear watch.
On my S6 I was able to simply turn down the volume until it went to vibrate and then press volume down again. That way the phone was entirely silent and only my watch would vibrate. Not so with the 10. It'll either vibrate or it goes to Do-Not-Disturb mode meaning my watch doesn't vibrate anymore either.
It's extremely annoying as I'm often in meetings with my phone on the table in silent mode. That way I get notifications on my wrist while the phone is silent. Now I'm forced to put everything to silent and miss calls and messages as a result. It totally defeats the purpose of having the watch for notifications.
As I got the phone from HTC I wanted to hold off from rooting it, but it looks like it's either that or going back to the S6. Am I doing something something wrong/not finding the right settings or did HTC just forget?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yeah, this is weird from HTC. On previous devices the silent setting would work exactly like the Galaxy S6 one. It's strange that in the 10 it goes straight to DND mode.
As a workaround, if you don't want to root, you can tweak DND Mode to allow every notification through and get it on the smartwatch as well. This is not ideal, especially if you want to use DND mode for what it's meant...

Unfortunately I also use DND often so this is not an ideal solution, but it'll have to do for now
HTC uses the same idea as Nexus device now, since HTC A9, which means the sound profile has only : normal, vibrate, and DND, no silent mode anymore; and the notification panel also followed Nexus, but don't worry, in Android N you can change quick settings in notification panel, just need to wait for 5 months.
Also, you can set up some apps, treat them as priority, so that they may go through. I don't use smart watch so I could be wrong. But this is just a problem about habit, once you get used to it, everything's fine.

The phone also vibrates on messages and emails. There are multiple work arounds, but none as quick as just turning down the volume and have your phone be silent. I don't want to dive into settings everytime I walk into a meeting.

you don't need to dive into the settings,
1: drag down the quick settings and tap on DND, only 2 steps;
2: press and hold volume down button, when switched to vibrates mode, tap on the bell icon, also only 2 steps.

I meant to do the settings where you change the priority mode settings each time you want the phone to be silent, but don't want DND on etc.

Multiple issues in Oneplus 3

Hello people
I am facing the following issues in my phone which is running OxygenOS 3.2.1.
1. Push notifications not coming until the phone is unlocked again
2. Alert slider causing the phone to go completely silent.
To add to the misery I was using my wifi on 2.4 GHz band but when I tried to connect to 5GHz band it does not connect and the error shows wifi connection failure. All my other devices are connected successfully to this band even my 4 year old Nexus 4 but Oneplus 3 does not seem to connect for a single time
This is really becoming disappointed for me bow after push notification and alert slider issues.
The range of 2.4 GHz wifi is not even half of what my Nexus 4 used give me.
I am using ASUR WRT 68u router.
These are very basic features of a cellphone which are required on the very first moment.
I am Totally frustrated with this device as I can't use it for my daily life!!! I don't know if people in this forum are not having any such issues with their devices.
1. push notification can be blocked when the screen is locked (to avoid that other people can see SMS for example). In the "When device is locked" option, "show all notification content" should be selected if you want notification. Also the alert slider should be on the 3rd position, the position closed to the volume up button. If you want to use the middle slider position, you need to select some apps as priority apps for notification.
2. hmmm I think it's the purpose of the alert slider... especialy in the 1st position, the further to the volume up button.
It's strange you seems to misunderstand it as when you put in silent mode, it say "silent" on the screen. I put my phone in english to be sure, maybe the translation in your language is not accurate.
Anyway the slider mode can be customized in the alert slider options.
For wifi, it seems ok for me but I can't test 5GHz at the moment.
1. Not sure if I see this behaviour but if I do isn't botherimg me.
2. I know put slider to silent and it silences the phone, this is probably my favourite feature of the phone. Completely silence the phone without even taking it out of my pocket genius.
3. Sent on my 5ghz WiFi connection.

I think you misunderstood me. Here are your replies:
1. The push notification issue is a doze mode bug since the notifications do appear and the sound plays ok until the device enters into doze mode after which there is no notification and no connectivity maintained which causes the notifications to stop, once the phone is unlocked the notifications start to appear
2. Well I know the purpose of alert slider and I am talking about when the slider is is normal position i.e. downwards, sometimes the notification sounds disappear and there is complete silence, the slider has to be cycled again by moving upward then downward to fix the issue.
for the slider, wipe your phone completely, reset it in other words.
If your slider bug still there, contact oneplus customer service to replace your phone.
and your first problem seems to be related to the second one as it enter the silent mode on it's own.

I have completely wiped off the phone and installed 3.2.1 from the signed flashable zip... the wifi issue is still there
I will check and update about the first two issues if they're solved... I have contacted customer support but they have not provided a satisfactory response yet.
When I upgraded to 3.2.1, I had the same issues as stated above AS WELL AS an issue with VoLTE that forced me to disable LTE in order to have a decent phone call. I reverted back 3.1.2 until OnePlus gets these issues ironed out. Overall, 3.1.2 has been much better for me.
I have installed freedomOS from xda and stock ROM again.. wifi issue is resolved but push notification and alert slider issues still persist in freedomOS as well as stock ROM.. I don't have VoLTE feature here so can't test
About the random silence, did you restore apps and settings from old phonethat had automatic disturb profiles? If so, reset and do not restore...
I'm not experiencing any of these issues, only issue is the random turn off
