Today upgraded my kaiser 130 to wm6.1. dutys hybrid v2. Nice stuff.
And so got a head ache, that was't on wm6.
Now it is posible to silence the ringing phone without rejecting a calll, but if you use any software like ringomobile or similar, this feature does not work, because ringo don't caches that button, it just plays his own sounds. While windows phone sounds are muted from begining.
So question would be, is there any update or something that allows asign ringtones for gruops of users , and simutaneously to have silence function workin?
Hi,
I am a new member here and I currently own a HTC Touch Diamond.
I am planning on buying a new phone only months after buying this one mainly because of two issues:
- When someone calls me, the phone only starts ringing after a few rings on the caller's side. I have missed many calls simply because of the delayed ring so by the time it does ring, the caller has hung up. Weirdly enough there is no delay in the phone lighting up and notifying the user of an incoming call, it's just the ringing that is delayed, so obviously it can detect the incoming call accurately and it is just a firmware issue. Originally it would be delayed by about 5 rings, but after a few modifications I've done from some websites, I've managed to reduce it to about a 2-3 ring delay. Either case the delay itself is unacceptable.
- The ring-tone volume is ridiculously low. I have tried all methods available such as manually adjusting the volume through registry hacks, using an application called Diamond Tweak, etc, but it simply is not loud enough.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced these issues before and if there is a fix for them now. I did a lot of research into fixing this in the past few months and to no avail. I have now given up but given that this forum is so active, I figured I might ask for help here incase there is a solution that has eluded me. By the way HTC customer support is useless. They fail to even recognize the problem and almost always conclude with a response along the lines of "we've forwarded you issue to the technical team and will get back to you if a solution is found." I am almost certain that will never happen and I am extremely doubtful that they've even bothered to forward anything to anyone.
I was hoping as a last resort that this problem could be solved by replacing the Windows Mobile OS with Google Android OS, but it appears Android OS is still not fully compatible with the Touch Diamond.
Anyway, any help with this would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah, this is certainly a problem on stock diamonds. It's primarily caused by the speed at which the phone can access and render the phonecanvas, as well as the playing of a MP3 ringtone.
The low-hanging fruit is to use a [.wav] ringtone which is played natively in WM6. Also, if you're willing to flash a custom ROM, there are several that use optimized dialers (I made one) with better responsiveness. If you search, you'll come across a few:
GenY D2X
GenY D2The incoming call latency used to annoy me, it's why I initially signed up to xda, but it's something I haven't even noticed in quite awhile. I'll attach a [.wav] ringtone for you to try out.
Problem: Instead of playing the selected ringtone when I get phone calls I hear the bonk sound hear when I adjust my volume? This remains even after reboot.
Solution: It was an application called CallBlocker. I had enabled a setting called Pre-Mute Ring which was causing the issue.
Call controll does work very well, however this feature does have a caveat indicating it might not work correctly on all phones. I think the purpose is to mute the ring until it can identify if the call is on the blacklist or not. After that, I think it's supposed to unmute so you can hear the ring.
I finally figured it out after numerous reboots and a kernel upgrade. The problem remained so I figured it had to be some piece of software that messed with the call settings.

So, this is not a new issue, but one that's been annoying the living crap out of me as of late.
The volume with calls and voicemails is INSANE. It is so loud that I can't use normal headphones even on the lowest setting without hurting my ears. Without headphones, I can comfortably conduct phone calls with the phone at arms length (like it is on speaker phone -- though it isn't). I don't remember having this issue with Cyanogen on my Evo, but I can't run ASOP on the Note without losing some of the key features of owning the device. Furthermore, I'm happy with the current software + Nova and only want to get rid of this volume issue.
I've tried every imaginable setting under Settings > Sound and the "Call Settings" in the phone dialer's own configuration menu. My assumption is that this "feature" was rolled out for stupid or nearly deaf people who kept complaining that they couldn't hear callers. It seems that the phone is digitally boosting the sound as loud as it can go and then passing it to the DAC (but only for the default voicemail and dialer apps as far as I can tell). I suppose I could try and fix this by messing with the DAC settings in STweaks, but that would bork things like media volume since they don't have the living **** (apparently XDA feels that they need to censor euphemisms for poo ) boosted out of them and wouldn't actually tackle the root cause.
Anyone know if there is a way to change this setting? It's completely unacceptable that my choices are to either damage my hearing or invite everyone else in the room to listen in to my conversation.
For reference, I'm using the digiblur ROM (basically stripped stock).
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
