[Q] Silent mode isn't silent on CM7 - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so I noticed a few days ago that the silent mode wasn't working on my G2 when my phone rang despite it being in that mode. The icon was in the status bar, and I couldn't figure out how to make it actually become silent. It had worked before, but I'm not sure exactly when it stopped working. So yesterday, to try to eliminate any problems, I wiped user data, and pretty much everything and flashed a fresh install of CM 7.0.3. I tried putting the phone into silent mode through settings, through the lockscreen slider, and ultimately by trying to just use the volume rocker. It was then that I noticed that on the volume prompt that the silent mode icon was showing but there was still a bit of the volume percentage left in the bar. I really can't figure out what to do now, suggestions?

Reflash rom or try another

I'm having the same issue on MyTouch 3G Slide. It was working normally for the few months that I flashed this ROM... but for me it started after I replaced the Flex Cable the other day.
Playing with the "Sound" and "CyanogenMod Settings > Sound" settings does not do anything. The only way to really get silence is to manually slide the volume bar in the "Sound" settings to empty. Some things still have sound though such as my camera focus/shutter - before I was able to take a photo silently but not there's the ridiculously loud camera noise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so after flashing Virtuous, MIUI, and CM7.1 RC1, my problem still persisted. I was finally about to give up, so I just flashed a backup I had from about two weeks ago. When I restarted the phone, the volume settings were just fine, and back to a normal state. I must've flashed something recently that messed it up

I'm not really that experienced with these kind of hardware problems, sorry bud

Vibration doesn't work

Hi. I've had my Desire for some weeks now. But some day or two ago the text vibration stopped working. It's only the vibration when I get a text that doesn't work. When someone calls, feedback when I'm writing also work.
Anyone of you that know what it could be? I've checked settings etc.

I had the very same problem with my first Desire on a week or two after I got it. I tried literally everything. I called HTC they had no idea what to do nor how to fix it. So I called T-Mobile (who I got the phone from) told them about it, they couldn't fix it either so I got a replacement phone.
Seemingly there is no way of fixing it. The motor is fine, but something is bugged. Perhaps one of the more astute Desire users (using custom ROMs) may be able to shed some more light on the problem, but as far as I know, it is unfixable.
Ok. I guess I need to contact the store I got it from. Thanks

This is a known issue which means the text vibration stops working when the battery gets low and it doesn't come back after charging the phone.
Download and install sound manager from Android market, use it to turn on text message vibration and it'll all work again for you. Best of all It's all completely free.
Let us know if it works for you like it did for me.

I just love a problem like this that seems unfixable only to find a detailed and workable fix. Bravo.
I wish I would've known that before getting a replacement phone. Ah well, it didn't cost me anything.
Glad it worked for you all, can't remember where I first heard it but it worked for me

I installed sound manager after, I observed that the vibration does not work on my phone.For the beginning all was OK,I began testing and saw that from 5 calls 3-4 are without vibration and 1 is with the vibration,though the vibration is on from phone settings and sound manager.I didn't try to factory reset the phone because I would lose everything .Any ideas would be appreciated.
I had this problem a while ago. Download 'Sound Manager' from the Market, and there's an option in it, 'Vibrate Always' or something. That did it for me anyway, hope it helps you

I had an intermittent problem with the vibrate function after about 6 months. I sent my phone back to HTC. Initially they replaced the motherboard which didn't fix the problem. I sent it back again (set as priority) and they replaced the vibration module. It all works fine now. It's an option to consider if you can put up with being without your phone but I think it's worth doing.

Media volume won't go up...

Having a weird issue where even when I set my sound profile to normal the media volume will not go up. The level indicator pops up in the screen but it simply stays at the minimum with the x next to the speaker. I should note that I normally use switch pro to change this, but it still doesn't work even if I go into settings. A reboot does fix the issue.

I had this same problem last night, and I also use Switch Pro. After I pulled out the battery it went back to normal and now it doesn't do it. In your Switch Pro, do you have "Mute Media Volume" selected? I had it selected on my phone and that's when I had the issue. Before the battery pull I unchecked it and after it it worked normally.
Yea, I do have that checked. I'll try your method and report back.

So I did what you said and the sounds does work now, but the problem is that the silent setting no longer muted the media volume. Switching back to the checked box results in the original issue again... gggggrrrrrrr
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Update: looks like its definitely switch. Force killing it returns media sound. Guess we now wait for an update.

I have the same problem but I'm not using switch. I have calculkins Rom with kingx #11. If I put it at mute it won't allow me to up the volume either in settings or on side of phone.
i have exacly the same problem with the sound i still have the stock ROM on it but and i dont use Switch Pro.. pulling the battery does solved the problem so tnx i hope it was a 1x only
Edit: PS i only removed the s-off and rooted the phone

Nils business gingersense 3.0 won't go silent

I've been 1.5 for a few days now. I haven't had any problems with any features until now. I went to work and put my phone on vibrate as usual. During my shift my phone rang on full volume. I looked at the notification bar and it said that it was indeed on silent, while it was ringing loudly. I hit the volume buttons which quieted the ringer. I turned the volume all the way up then all the way down to go back to vibrate. The volume changing sound acted normally, however, when it hit silent it didn't silence the volume changing sound and a small section of the volume bar remained. Even when it was truned to vibrate the icon for vibrate appeared but the volume bar still stayed visible a little. Please help as I'd like to get this fixed. The only thing I can think of is that I played my first game of Homerun Battle 3d last night. Other than that nothing new has been installed or used.
I suggest you reflash the rom, I'm a regular on the rom and have never had that issue. Did you do a flash over or fresh install initially?
I did a fresh install of 1.4 and then flashed over that with 1.5. Id' hate to have to do a fresh install and have it happen again after I get it all set up. Other than that. I am digging this ROM.

Some app is running and acting like a media app causing. Turn down media volume in settings and see if that does it.
First just try and clear cache and dalvik in recovery.
Then if that does not work flash over without wipe and see if that helps.
So I tried all if those things and nothing worked. Looks like I'll have to do a full wipe and flash. It'sa strange thing. It also seems like the volume settings aren't applying themselves. Just a heads up. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh on another note has there been any headway on the mms over wifi front?

It seems your phone keeps thinking it's connected to a dock, hardware fault, take it for warranty.

Fix your hardware....if the volume rocker gets stuck you will have problems even to revert to stock...do it now and get it fixed.
My DHD is not under warranty and HTC support is so bad in UAE, if I take it to repair it will take at least 3 weeks took a sensation for a screen replacement, it took them 1 mounth after a week the screen is dead again I took it back now it's there for almost 2 mounts
I really don't to send them my DHD
Can't I just diable the dock mode?
Thanks for your input guys.

Same problem, is there no definite solution apart from send it in?

Notification/ volumes sounds changes to very low by its self.

OK this problem has been bugging me. Its started a few weeks back and i thought when i updated to 4.3 it would go away. But no luck.
Here is the problem. I have a Samsung S3 SGH I747M on Rogers was on 4.1.2 stock rom rooted. Now im on 4.3 stock rom rooted.
My phone keeps changing the notification/ all volumes on it own to very low. I can hardly hear it. I reboot my phone and its back to normal and all volumes are were i set them. Now i did notice that when it does go very low all my volume sliders go to the max position but everything will be very low.
Its driving me crazy. I have uninstalled several apps that i thought might be causing the problem but nothing seems to fix it. My next step is to do a factory reset. Which i really don't want to do as i have my phone set up the way i like it.
I'm hoping some of you phone gurus out there can help me find this annoyance.
Thanks.
Wow. No reply's. I guess nobody has had this problem before. Ill keep looking.
My volume dips occasionally, but I'm on pacman Rom with viper4android installed. In my case it happens when viper decides to randomly crash.

Did you have any audio mods installed ? If so then that might have caused the problem because to fully uninstall those you have to remove some of their system files or if they changed your build.prop you might have to undo the changes.
Other than that im not really sure what might be causing it.

I have the same issue. I uninstalled Ram Booster and disabled Power Savings Mode. Problem still exists but volume change is much less. Also ,it happens exactly when screen turns off. Factory reset did not solve it for me.

I just started experiencing this issue as well. Never noticed it before as I always had my phone on silent for school but now that im on vacation I turned the sound back on and I can't hear the locking and unlocking sounds unless the phone is right next to my ear. The keyboard and the basic touch sounds are very quiet too. Wondering if you managed to fix this problem ?

Hey Florad77,
Yes i did manage to fix it. Tasker is the culprit. Its not playing nice with the 4.3 update. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything was working fine. No volume changes. Then i set up some tasks, simple ones like turn off my Bluetooth when i leave my truck etc. And low and behold the sound issues came back. It must be when tasker trys to run tasks that it F,s everything up in the phones settings for sound. I just uninstalled it again and i also removed secure settings as well. Here is a review of Tasker from google play with the same sound problems.

Sound notifications don't work... After the recent update, notifications stopped playing sound files, unlike always. A power related task keeps firing when it's not supposed to. 4.3.yuga.pac

I hope this fixes your problem. Mine is work just fine now after the uninstall.
Volume issues fixed.
OK. I was still having the problem even after deleting most of the apps i thought were causing the problem. But had no luck fixing the volume issue. I remembered my son saying he has had a problem with his phone not connecting to the Bluetooth also but his had a different error. So i asked him what his issue was and he said every time he tries to connect he gets an error saying "unable to play during call" So i googled his problem and found the answer and it fixed his Bluetooth error. I then checked my own settings and changed it also and if fixed mine.
So If you use text plus go to settings and unselect enable incoming calls, and that will fix the unable to play during call error when using your music player over Bluetooth. And like me if your also having volume issues after connecting to Bluetooth it will fix that also. Make sure to reboot your phone after the change.
I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me crazy for months now. I was so close to doing a factory reset and re flashing the rooted 4.3 rom again.

The problem with the volume that you are facing is because of a secret call in the background via Hangouts.
Basically Hangouts connects a call with someone in the background without user's interaction and phone goes into call mode.
And in call mode volumes are adjusted appropiately as it should be in a normal call and all the sounds come out of earpiece.
If you turn off Hangouts, you will not get this problem again.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
