Sound When Ringing Anybody - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The sound when I ring someone the beep not the ringtone or any other sound seems to have changed today... I'm guessing its due to me trying out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385236 and supercharger v6 + the v8 3g and kernel tweaks...Anybody know which one of these changes messed with the settings?

Most likely JIT or supercharger but cant be sure, just uninstall those and see if it's fixed if not uninstall the rest, still not working? backup, reinstall rom

Just reflashed using SEPC and the sound's still there =S - Forgot to add sometimes the old sound rings...

I thought i understood your problem but i don't please explain fully

Basically, the tone I hear when I ring somebody(they haven't picked up yet) the "beeps" has changed . Although occasionally on random calls it's back to the original tone.

That's mostly a network issue then, specially since you've changed everything on the phone, try a different sim card and try ringing off that

Yea, thought so, but the fact that it was the same on unchanged stock means it wasnt anything I'd done

VERY odd... varios system sounds are now inaudible...

I noticed this earlier today and it's driving me NUTS!! Various system sounds (so far I've found the dialing tone, lock/unlock click, and default keyboard sounds) all of a sudden are practically inaudible. I can hear them but only if I hold the speaker up to my ear while dialing, typing, etc. All volume levels are turned up all the way like I always have them, what gives?!? I'm very confused by this...
Possibly blown speakers? Have you tried music?
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
are you sure your system volume is up? You can check it with Audio Manager.
Uhh yeah like I said, all volume levels are ALL the way up.
Nope not blown as ringtones, etc. come through the speaker just fine.
You running stock? Try a reset/clean flash?
Yes everything is stock and I'm trying to avoid the obvious (resetting the phone)
Are all of these things y'all have suggested not obvious to the average user? I don't mean to be rude in the least but I always try several things to fix an issue before I seek out help...

haha. you may be surprised sometimes Always got to cover all the bases.
I have no idea what's causing you issues, but I experience something sort of simlar, and have yet to figure it out. I don't use any audio feedback or lockscreen unlock sounds or anything like that. My ringer and notifications always work fine. The thing for me that is odd, is my boot animation sound. No matter what sound I use, it plays halfway through EXTREMELY loud, and then it suddenly cuts to about 1/3 the volume that it started playing at. It's random, and doesn't happen every time, but definitely enough for me to notice. I have no idea what causes it, but wouldn't be surprised if it's the same type of issue.
Download an app called audio manager. Your system volume got stuck down and won't go up without that type of app, since we cannot change it in settings.

+1 same thing happened to me and that was the only way i could fix it
AudioManager allows you to change the system sound settings, which is otherwise impossible via the standard Android interface. That solved my problem.

[Q] No sound after installed FRX07.1 for my HTC TP2

Hi, i just installed FRX07.1 on my HTC TP2 RHOD100 this morning. The problem is i found out there is no sound or ring. I can make calls but the receiver can't hear me or when others calling me, the phone is not ringing, just vibrate. I check the volume is up and everything is on. Let me put it simple, there are no sound at all in this phone. Please help!!
I already installed more than 5 times and still the same.
Appears the thread is solved.
Edit - OP PM'd me and said it comes back...?
I'm not sure what could be wrong. Are you on a .27 kernel, from the autobuild? FRX07.1, no other system changes...? Just apps installed?
I guess some app could be triggering it to, I don't know... Does it happen on a fresh data.img?
this works for me
just call your voicemal then run haret while your phone is still on the phone call.

Wow. That's a REALLY old fix for a mic bug that used to be pretty rampant... I thought these were all long since resolved...
If you guys have a boot with absolutely no audio, grab logs from GetLogs. I don't know how much it'll help, since FroYo and the out audio stuff is going away... You folks might want to also try out the new GB build that's still in testing - it's got a new method of routing audio that should work better for everyone. It is the future, so make sure it works well for you!

[Q] juggernaut 5.0 question

I was using juggernaut 5.0 and was having a problem with the ringer. It would show a call coming in but no audio ring tone. i checked all setting to make sure it was turned up all the way. i wiped did a fresh install and still nothing. It worked the first few days and again no ringtone. I love the rom fast, stable, and tons of themes. But the ringer just randomly not working is ruining it for me. I tried rebooting calling and again the called shows on the screen but no ring tone. Is this a known problem or does anyone have any tips as to what is causing this or how to fix it? Any help would appreciated.

I would also try to reassign your tone. Just pick the same tone again and save it.
as crazy as this sounds you choosing the same ring tone over worked. its crazy i tried multiple ringtones. but never the same one twice. guess it just needed to be stuck twice for it to stick lol.

Phone does not ring sometimes?

At first I thought the rom I flashed on my GS2X was screwed so I flashed a stock rom and found the same was happening. Sometimes when a call comes in the phone does not ring and appears to be in silent mode when it is not?
Anyone know of some 'feature' that may be causing this?

You could try something, and I know itl sound weird but,
Change your ringtone, I had it happen to me a few times when I tested some of the roms on here..
That usually helped for me.
Or simply to you have motion on? Lol if so turning it upside down mutes it lmfao
Go to settings>MOTION>turn over to mute xD
And if that is it, I'm not gonna pick on ye, my buddy was wining about the same thing couple months ago n it was that, he got it for a few weeks.. I had my fun..
Thanks. I use phoneweaver to automatically change ringers and volume levels based on location etc and I think the settings aren't 'sticking' properly. I have never had issues until now on this phone. I noticed when this app changes the screen brightness even though the new value is shown in settings it has not actually changed. Maybe the same thing was happening on the ringer? The last time a call came in with no ring I quickly rebooted without changes and it rang when I called the phone so who knows...
I'll test further.

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
