Quiet and inconsistent ringing - HTC One X

This is a very strange issue, and I hope someone can help!
I'm running the HTC One-X with the Viper-X rom. It's awesome, except I have one slight issue.
When people ring me, there's a 50% chance that my phone won't actually ring. Alternatively, even when it does ring, it's VERY quiet. Finally, if I have headphones in (which is about 90% of my day due to work), I again have like a 40-50% chance to hear it ring - other times my music will play happily while the phone 'vibrates' in my pocket and lights up, which I don't always notice.
Has anyone else encountered this? Anyone got any ideas what I can try to prevent this? It makes the phone largely unusable as a phone, since I'm not getting the right indicators that it's ringing!

Your in the wrong forum. You have an international hox.

Turn over to activate speaker phone?

I hear these AT&T commercials talking about this feature, my verizon TP2 does not do that. The speaker phone button on the back does not do anything either. Is it a setting?
In my stock HTC TP2, in Phone settings (Windows Mobile's, not TouchFlo's), last tab (should be "Advanced"). There's an option that said "when the phone is facing down during a call, use loudspeaker". Check if your phone has this setting?
I don't get all these modifications by providers... in Hongkong phones are sold as is, even when bundled to a certain provider's plan. Many of those modifications aren't really improvements either...
My AT&T Tilt 2 stock rom does this by default!
Cool little feature!!!
not to hijack the thread or anything, but im having the same problem except with the t-mobile version. when its flipped, the mute button lights up but the speaker doesnt activate. the windows option is checked. i messed with some registry settings to enable two way recording (didnt work btw). but that cant be the problem as my brother is having the same problem with his unmodified tmo tp2. his option is checked too.
any ideas?
bump bump, anyone know whats wrong?
Do you have ANY sound? I was using Resco Audio Recorder and I couldn't use the speakerphone when it was working either.. I uninstalled it and no problems since.
i turned this off. it came on once when i was on the couch and it was loud near my ear and freaked me the f out.
I posted about this about a week ago, my solution was to get a new one.
My new one has about 75 dead pixels, so it's going back too.
I'm not satisfied with the build quality at this point...
the speaker does work... when you click the speaker button once in a call. it's just that it doesn't automatically do that when turned over in the call. only the mute button lights up green.
EDIT-
nevermind, it works now. i read this on your thread.

I'd say that unless you've been setting it down on an uneven surface -- or not actually setting down at all as the other guy suggests-- there must be something wrong with your phone.
There's no setting/configuration that would cause the inconsistent erratic behavior you describe -- going on then off, vibrating, etc -- if it's setting on a flat table-top or similar.

apparently i wasn't lying it evenly face down. i was trying it on the couch so that doesn't help. i layed it evenly this time and it vibrated and the speaker went on. then i did a couple of other tests at angles and sure enough you have to have it evenly face down. at one angle, i had it vibrating like a maniac because it thought it was even and then uneven.
problem solved!
You have to make sure it is even on the surface. Also doing a g-sensor calibration may help as well.

[Q] What is this One X Sound Issue?

Well, gone and searched through the threads, and I'm not sure if people have been having the same issue or not but I made a quick video to detail this issues. I've had to restart the phone several times to stop this but it just comes back later and this sound interupts anything I do such as using the camera or listening to music.
Any help diagnosing this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
That's really weird ! Never seen or better heard something like that. Are you on stock or custom ROM? Did this just start out of nothing or did you flash something before?
I would do a wipe and start from scratch.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yeah completely stock, not done anything at all to it.
Another weird thing about it, it only seems to happen when the phone is laid flat and happens more often when plugged into the computer but set to charge only.
try running some tests on the phone. there is a way to access the test features but i cant remember on which thread it was to access it. or may be try recalibrate features on the phone?
I figured out what the problem was, you'll probably laugh. It's NFC!
I had my phone resting ontop of a library book and they have those RFID tags in them so you can't steal them, so when I rested my phone ontop of the book, it would start making that noise, probably a "connected" sound.
Turned NFC off or moved my phone away from the book, problem gone!

[Solved] Random Max In-Call Volume & Max In-Call Volume on each reboot

Whenever I make or receive a call, I see my in-call volume at maximum level! I don't understand why it keeps doing this? I noticed this problem on all 3 of note 2. I keep adjusting to low but randomly just gets reseted to max again. Anyone else having the same issue with T-Mobile Note 2?
Update: finally found the culprit of this problem. The app "Tango" video chat messes with the in-call volume. Once account & app was uninstalled even after the reboot in-call volume setting never changed. Everything stayed as I left it and no more random MAX in-call volume.
Video to show what Tango is doing to my in-call volume.
Nobody has this issue? how come all 3 of my Note 2 has this issue =/
Anyone?
Sorry, this doesn't help but I usually keep my in-call volume at max so I haven't noticed this.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how you keep the volume at max.. maybe it's just my phones but it's too painfully loud for me.
Would you mind trying to lower the call volume to lowest setting and restart the phone? See if the call volume goes back to max, I would really appreciate that.
For whatever the reason, the volume setting is not getting saved. So annoying since everytime i answer a call, it's trying to blow my eardrums out!
I'm guessing nobody has this in-call volume issues on their T-mobile Note2? Should I be considering an exchange....??
Just FYI multiple post saying anyone? Anyone? Pple just find annoying. Not trying to be rude. But from what I noticed from posts from other forums. Is when pple do that. They will never receive help or a reply from someone. Especially when the OP keeps doing that all in the same day.
Sometimes if you want help. You need patience. Especially here on xda. Pple here don't live there lives to help you. Right when you make a new post. Sometimes it could take days or even a week or two. But I'm positive if you don't do multiple post like this. And wait or even search the web. Even user a different phone. You will find ur answer. Remember google is ur best friend.
Anyways I don't no if its because of my rom or not but mind keeps going to vibrate and I have to keep turning it back to sound + vibrate
Oh ya you also have to be detailed when asking questions. Are you rooted or not. Stock or flashed a rom. Which rom. ...you get the point. The more you tell use the more likely a chance someone will help you. If you choose not to look it up urself
My bad, wasn't trying to be annoying or anything. I searched around in many different forums but still no answers and didn't get any replies on this issue, even the t-mobile support didn't know what was causing this issue. I guess I was running thin on patience.
I'm running all on stock and all 3 devices does this. T-Mobile sales rep said maybe it's part of the feature.. But we all know that's b/s. Changing in-call volume randomly doesn't sound much like a great feature to me....

Ya unfortunately that sucks. If you were rooted I would say try to flash a different rom. But since ur not my best guess would be to search around for an app that has something to do with volume/ in call volume. There's an app for everything these days. Ur just gunna have to read all the details in every volume app you can find. I'm sure there's something. Good luck. If you happen to find something. Post it hear in case others run into the same problem as you in the future.
Am I the only one with this problem? I wish some of the same device/carrier users would give me some feedbacks so I can figure out what to do....
you talking about in call volume or ringer volume? if its in call volume im pretty sure that if i lower it during a phone call it stays that volume even on the next call
im not 100% sure though...and im not sure if it stands through a reboot but i am pretty sure...cause i dont leave my in call volume on max because it is quite loud and distorted...if it always went back up to max i probably wouldve noticed..again not 100% sure

It's the in-call volume. I have no idea what's causing this... When I lower the volume it will stay that way only for that call and next call or sometimes even during the call volume goes up to max randomly. It's driving me nuts cause it's so loud and I can't even answer the call without worrying its gonna blow my eardrums!
I tried restoring factory but that didn't help and all three of my Note 2 do this so I'm lost here. Not like I rooted and modified anything, all is in stock.
Would you mind trying to put in-call volume to lowest and rebooting the phone? See if it goes back to max by default. That's how mine is set to every reboot.

i just tested it...called myself...i put the volume to 50%...hung up..called myself back..volume was still at 50%...idk if it will randomly go up...we'll see lol
if it does..that would be an annoying bug...one i probably wouldnt have noticed if i didnt read this thread...so if i start noticing it i blame you!

Try rebooting, see if that setting sticks.
It does this all randomly. Setting will stay that way for awhile and all of sudden max volume.

yeah..volume went back to max after reboot
try this
go to dialer -> call settings -> my call sound...there are 2 options that might help you...one for sound settings (maybe choosing one of them will help you) or personalize call sound..that one asks you to plug in ear phones..im not sure what happens after you run that test and if it only applies to earphones but you can try it

Why would it do that... It's not suppose to. I never had that issue with ATT Note, N7000 and i9300... I get the feeling many people just don't pay too much attention to it and when it does go up, people just lower the volume and forget about it.
Whatever the reason setting of the in-call volume isn't being saved. And something is making it to go back to default. Just don't know what though...
Keep your eye on that volume, and check if it goes up randomly.
P.S. I really appreciate the replies, been waiting for awhile.

Yeah, I really didn't want to annoy anyone but this little bug was driving me insane. Spending hours with T-Mobile tech supports weren't even helpful either. I hope it isn't a defective unit... Please let me know if you notice this issue! Thanks again =)
I think I found the culprit. Seems like "Jays headset control" app was causing this issue. It was never an issue on any other device but not sure why it's causing on note2. I uninstalled the app yesterday and so far problem hasn't come back yet. Time will tell but so far so good.
Thanks for looking and replying to my post. I can finally relax!
Update: wasn't jays app... Still having issue.

Proximity sensor issues?

Hey everyone. I'm enjoying this phone but I do have a few small issues which I'm hoping I can forget about once custom ROMs start to come out
(Come on and release factory images already Razer!!!)
One of them is the proximity sensor which I find incorrectly thinks I've taken my head away from the earpiece during a call and then starts spamming commands with my cheeks.
I have this issue on like every second phone call and it's a bit irritating. Especially when I still haven't received (other than the first one when I first got the phone) any more updates.
The other main gripe is the lack of a pocket sensor/script. Probably related. As in, if you have double tap to wake enabled, good luck putting this in an awkward pocket (inside motorbike jacket pocket) without waking the screen and spamming commands again with your fingers.
Lastly. I wish they had just put the fingerprint sensor somewhere else. I have turned the screen off so many times while watching YouTube it's actually starting to really annoy me
Just wondering, even if you like this phone overall, and I do, if anyone else had these gripes?
I'm having the same issue with a Razer phone I picked up this week. It's a pain.
I've tried using this as advised on another thread and it seems to be working fine, so I'm totally lost.

I'm just glad to hear someone else is noticing this. Does nobody else make phone calls on their phones??
Had the issue with the proximity sensor on a phone call again last night. Realllly annoying.
At least factory images are out now, unfortunately, it took so long, developers etc don't look too bothered about this device - I may be wrong and would be delighted to start seeing some custom stuff out there. So long as they can keep the 120Hz functionality!
Yeah I would definitely be tempted if a good Rom was released. You're probably right about it though, not a HUGE demand for these.
I've had it several times with calls and it will be super annoying if it doesn't get fixed with an update soon. I'll give you a shout if I get anywhere with it outside of this thread.
EDIT:
And yet, I just took two calls this morning back to back with ZERO issues.
anyone any more luck on this?

Nope. I still get these issues from time to time.
I even switched to global ROM and they exist there too.
Hi all.
This issue was resolved on my phone with a hard reset (volume up + power button), then a factory reset (in settings -> system -> reset options ). The proximity sensor now works as it is supposed to.
Hope this helps.

Question OnePlus 11 not ringing when receiving phone calls?

I am not entirely sure if I'm tripping, but I seem to be missing phone calls pretty damn often. I think I recall at one point I randomly grabbed my phone to have it by me and noticed that someone was calling me but it wasn't ringing at all, though the screen did light up. I made sure my settings do have have "Do Not Disturb" mode on. I have the CPH2451 and running stock with latest OTA A.10 update. After doing a brief Google search, I see that OnePlus has had issues in the past but those are from the OnePlus3 and OnePlusNord so I am not sure if that's still relevant in this day and age.
Anyone experiencing something similar or have any clues as to what might be going on?
Edited: Fat fingered the model #. Fixed.

This might be obvious to you, so just ignore if you know this.
When holding your phone in your hand like you're texting in portrait mode, there's a switch top right and on side of phone.
Adjust the switch so it's down.
Ive experienced this, even after swapping to 2449.
Seems theres a couple settings that revert on reboots for some odd reason.
Just go into the phone app settings, notifications and reset thr ring tone and all set after 2 times doing it ... annoying?? damn right!... but at least its fixable ....

That's so dumb... The more I use this phone, the more I get buyer's remorse.
I haven't restarted my phone since I got it I think but I'll try that and see if the issue persists. Thanks!
Edit: Any word if OnePlus is aware of this and plans on fixing it? If not, perhaps I should forward this to them.

don't know if they are aware. just to add to the weirdness of it... for me... after the second time, the setting sticks...
i have this problem with my 8 pro, the phone doesn't ring and i think it goes straight to VM? seems like something broke with one of the latest OP updates?
There's no such version as CPH2541.
And here it works perfectly. Factory reset and try again.
