How to switch off the sound when turning on the phone - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As above...
Anyone has any ideas on this?

if your rooted just delete android_audio.mp3 from either /system/customise/resource/ or/data/local/

Nah, not rooted here.

you can't do it then, on stock roms the boot up sound is in /system/customise/resource/ without root, you have no permission to edit the contents of /system though

Put your phone in silent mode and turn off your phone and turn on.... Or remember to put your phone to silent mode before you restart

That doesn't work
I have a HTC Desire HD with the official HTC ROM 1.72 (installed withe the RUU .exe) and there is always a very noisy sound at start up
I just made the test . i put my phone in silence mode and i check in stetting that all the volume are to 0 (Ring, Multimedia, Alarm and notification). Then i turn off the phone. Then i turn on the phone ant the noisy ring of HTC is still there on a start up. Good luck if you are on a work meeting and you need to turn on you'r phone -> impossible to do it quietly.

try it with the media volume not the ring volume

I try it with all the 4 volume to 0 : Ring, Media Alarm and Notification.
Noisy HTC musique still there at start up.
Silent Boot form Androidi Market doesn't work on my HTC Desire H neither.
I think my only chance is to wait form a offical rom update from HTC... i can wait

I have the same problem. On 1.32.405.6 there wasn't the sound when the phone was in silent/vibrant mode. But on 1.72.405.3 there is the sound.

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.

WM6/HTC Home volume setting keeps getting reset

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...

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.
Enjoy ~~~~

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"!

Automatically turn on speaker phone during a call ??

Just updated to mobile 6.5 using the stock image from HTC
RUU_Rhodium_S_HTC_Europe_1.86.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_ 4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship WWE
I have a t-Mobile ver of touch Pro 2
( the Org. Image you could turn the phone over and it would automatically turn on speaker phone on during a call - it worked well )
Now it no longer does that - you have to use the speaker button to turn this on.
Any Ideas How to get it back ? help?

Did you check the settings in Phone?
Go to Phone, Options, then "Advanced" see if the "Turn speak on when device is placed face down during calls" is checked.
Omg .. Looked every were I thought .. Yes it was not checked THANKS !
Works Agin
R u guys finding this useful?
It's great that the speaker turns on but if I need to push a key to get past a few menu prompts the speaker turns off.
Also, I don't want to be without the phone during conference calls. I want to text and not pay attention.

Silent mode

Hi all. I sent my handset away to HTC for a repair (mic didn't work). I think they updated the software/firmware on it because I can no longer set my handset to silent without turning on the Do Not Disturb mode. Before I could lower the volume to silent and turn off vibrate and it was great. I don't like do not disturb because it puts a stop to notifications and calls. Is there a way to mute everything and have no vibrate but still get all calls and all notifications? Also I can no longer copy custom notification tones into the system folder. It's now read only >.< Any way around this without rooting my phone? Thanks in advance for any and all help
Nvm I think I got the hang of it lol

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.
