Why does my ringtone sound funny? [Solved] - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

[Q] Ring Once Only

I posted this the other day. It never showed up? Did someone delete it?
Anyways - My phone just seems to ring only once when I call it. It will continue to ring through but only without ringing. If I put vibrate as a choice it will vibrate but other wise it just is silent and rings until voicemail.
I don't have a profile setup for ring that I can see.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Noticed this myself, it doesn't seem to loop the ring tone but will continue to vibrate

+1 same here
I think the problem may lie with the audio file. It seems to loop with the default ringtones but not with custom. May need to set the audio files to loop?
What kind of audio format are you using?
In a German board some guy had this issue with .ogg and could fix it by using . mp3 instead.
Haven't checked by self cause I always pick up the phone instantly.
I am using the the standard ring tones with the Nexus. It's called Digital Phone.
I have tried all the rings tones and they all do the same exact thing. Ring once and then silence or If the setting is changed to Ring and Vibrate then it will vibrate..
Update: I did notice something after playing around with it a little longer. Even though one of the included ring tones is Ditigal Phone and many others. There are many tones that start from D-Z do not loop when you are testing the tones. Any ringtone from Digital Ring Tone and below do not loop in playback.
So that must be the case for me at least. Anyone test it out and confirm?
When playing ringtones to see if they loop - I can't get anything from Digital RingTone and below to play in a loop for testing.

Galaxy Nexus (CDMA) Touch Tone Issues with Speaker On

Had some issues with the touch tones not working correctly with the speakerphone enabled. Didn't find any threads here on XDA but found a few over on a couple other android forums.
Basically it seems that when using the touch tones with speakerphone enabled, the mic picks up the speaker phone and the receiving end hears each touch tone twice.
I had the issue when trying to call verizon wireless to enter my passcode, as well as trying to setup my voice mail. I have 3 separate Galaxy Nexus phones in my family, and the issue can be replicated on all 3 phones.
Also noticed lowering the volume on the speakerphone can alleviate the issue too, but it's just kind of annoying as I don't want to hold the phone up next to my ear when I'm trying to enter things on the dial pad.
I've also tried switching the DTMF setting between long and normal, the problem still exists
Hoping with a firmware update they can filter out the touch tone, or just not make the touch tones audible to ourselves. (I'm assuming
this is because the speaker is so close to the mic on the GN)
Anyway, I don't think there's a fix for it yet, but I'm just posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue, and to make people aware of it.
Also found the issue on google support here:

Bump,
Anyone else run into the same issue? Or have some secret fix I don't know about? (Other than turning off the speaker lol)

This explains the problems I was having the other day trying to join a Go-To-Meeting - would not accept my pin.
I was on speaker phone too - ty for this !
I've had this problem on the GN and other devices as well. Sometimes I'll hit mute because it helps but also I don't want people/computer listening in.

Just realized this before I came to post, thanks for pointing it out too! Mute FTW!!!
i too noticed this as well when i first got it and think that it ridiculous that it wasnt thought out better.
Another fix: Simply turn off audible touch tones in the settings menu.
Drawback is there's no feedback for the dialpad, anyone know of a way to get the vibrate on for the dialpad?

This is the workaround I've been using for about a month now with no issues. I had the same issue where the conference call service wasn't getting my pass code entered correctly.
Only issue now is the headset echo heard by connected parties, which has been reported and hope to be fixed soon. I've tried several workarounds here but none have been bulletproof.

Disable sounds during call?

While on a call, particularly speaker, is there no way to disable the keypress sound only during a call without doing it via the sound toggle or manually doing it in the settings? Doesn't seem to make any sense that certain sounds wouldn't automatically turn off so the caller wouldn't hear them. My previous HTC Hero did this automatically.

I have found this to be annoying as well. I have noticed that I have have my phone set on Vibrate (no sounds normally produced) and if I am on a call and an email or SMS comes in I get a notification sound. For some reason the sounds that are silenced when I am not on a call are produced when I am in a call.
I wish I knew of a solution to this issue.

This might work for you:
Phone>Call Settings>Call alert>Uncheck "Alerts on call"
Now help me fix my problem and we're even.

Note 2 stop ringing if set to sound and vibrate

Hi,
I have a strange problem and I really don't know how to solve it.
The problem is related to the sound when ringing.
If I set the "sound and vibrate" checkbox in Sounds, then the phone rings and vibrate a little and then stop the sound.
The screen still show the incoming call and the caller still hear that the phone is ringing.
The ring sound sometimes stop immediately after it's starting, sometimes ring 1, 2, 3 ... times.
BUT, if I unchecked the "sound and vibrate", the phone ring normally, as long as the caller keep the call open.
Does anyone met the same strange behavior?
The ROM is stock 4.1.1 XXALIJ, rooted with CF-auto-root.
At this moment I don't have any sound manager / profile manager installed.
I tried also to clear cache from recovery, but nothing.
What could be the cause?
What can I try to make it acting as it should?
Regards,
Stefan
I hope it is not affected by any motion settings, i.e you are covering the screen with your palm or turn it over?
If you are asking if I'm covering the phone with my hand, or if I'm turning it WHEN it's ringing, the answer is NO
But if you are asking if I have these options checked in settings, the answer is YES. I have them checked.

Tasker issue with Galaxy S2

I've been trying to make it so my phone goes silent at a certain time, and then removes the silent after the 'certain time' has expired. This has not been a problem.
The issue is that I still want specific phone numbers to make it through should I receive an emergency call. I used the Profile -> Phone, Incoming Call - to trigger and this works fine. However, there seems to be nothing I can do to force the phone to ring. I've tried removing silent mode, and it does, but the phone still won't ring until the next call. I've also tried lowering volumes and raising on phone call, same result. The closest I've become is to play my ringer tone as a ringer using Task -> Media, Play Ringtone. The downside is the phone will absolutely NOT stop ringing. It does when you pick up the phone but continues after you hang up, well past the ringtones duration. Calling Stop Task doesn't work, nor can I find a stop audio action.
I'm hoping someone has a good solution to this as I couldn't find one through lots of searching and trying. I wouldn't mind having to use a terminal command to stop audio if possible but I couldn't find any information on that either.
Any help is appreciated.
Just going to bump this once in hopes someone can figure out a solution. Thanks.
