For some reason, i have an HTC Incredible in here that wont sound when theres an incoming call. Settings are just fine, and its not a damaged speaker. Maybe a driver or something because it sounds when i turn on the phone and the splash screen appears. Have someone find this issue before? By the way its running stock gingerbread, not rooted or else.
So,
a) Do you receive a phone call and there's no ringtone?
or
b) Do you receive a phone call and there's no audio on the other end? As in, you can't hear the other person talking.
Just to be clear, can you play and hear music/audio while your phone is on say from the music app or notification?
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.

If I receive emails or have calendar event come due while on a call, I get the notification sounds playing in my ear while I am trying to listen to my caller. I cannot find a way to disable these sounds while I can connected to a call. Am I just missing something or is this a limitation?
I don't think there is. It is super annoying. It happened to me last week on a very important business call. I got several notifications while on that call and couldn't hear some of what the person on the other end was saying, it was loud enough that I thought even maybe they heard it.
Yes! Thanks for bringing this up. I'd love to at least make them quieter! I've had friends who tend to send multiple messages; I keep getting multiple alerts during a single call. It's very distracting.
Settings - System - ringtones and sounds - just untick what you don't want and choose "none" to any email, voicemail, sound alert.

That will just turn those sounds off all the time. That's not what we want. We only want those sounds off or a lot lower while on a call.
During a call the notification sounds are extremely loud and very distracting.

I guess that is not an option given the weird missing features WP7. (ringtone customization, ability to change volumes separately, having the ability to quickly choose between ring + vibrate, vibrate only, do not vibrate nor ring at all)
my phone doesn't alert me when I get an email or text while on a call, I've looked in the settings to no avail. How to change this? thx

It should be automatic. I never really noticed if it made a sound or vibrated. Make sure your notification volume is all the way up. Enable vibration if you believe that would help. You'd feel a vibration on your ear, which might be better than sound.
Heya,
so, as the title says, I'm having issues muting the notification and app sounds, while still allowing phone calls to get through and ring the phone out loud.
In the past, this was achievable by the Do Not Disturb mode. Right now however, it doesn't mute notifications anymore, as that is now done by the new "silent" mode. But that one also mutes incoming calls, which is completely unusable for me (I have occasional on-call nights when I need to be available on my phone, even if I'm sleeping, yet find the constant pinging of the apps super annoying).
The only working solution I found was to go into notification settings and block notifications from most of the very frequent apps... Which is annoying, as I also have to not forget to toggle the notifications back the next day.
Is there still a way to achieve the "Mute media and notifications, keep calls" combo in Android 12 + MIUI 13? Thanks!
On most phones the phone ringtone and notification volume is separate, is that not the case in your device?

Unfortunately not, instead, I have media, calls and alarm clock (as seen in the screen).
If I mute media, I still get notification and call sounds. If I mute the bell, I no longer get either. Dnd has no effect on the notification sounds.

This certainly sucks, can't every smartphone company share good things from each other instead of adopting all the bad changes. look around on Google maybe there are apps for this.

Hey have you found any solution? As I'm also struggling with same problem
It sucks, but until they fix it, you can use this app.
On the downside, it not only mutes sound, but completely mutes the notification including the badges , though. Anyone please post if you have a better solution.
i know im late. but i found a fix. (kinda) if you remove your notification sound completely. through settings, notifications and vobrations, notification sound and then while in the themes app. ringtone, and then no romg tone. even tho i thaught it changed the ringtone. if you go through settings first. ot will change the notification sound and not the ringtone. hope this helped
While waiting patiently for A13 ROMs for my current daily driver to mature a bit more I am using a silent audio file for the notification sound. I can't believe all these years MIUI still doesn't have an option to unlink calls and notification volume.
