Hi all !!!
I've been looking for some time for a fake call location or something similar for windows mobile.
The aim is to be able to share a sound during a call, such as an .mp3, .amr... And beeing able to start the playing at the beggining of the call as well as during the call. It seems the app already existes for iphone but none for windows phone.
Could anyone help me get this kind of app.
Thanks
May the force be with you
Does anyone knows how to do such an app, or am i the only one seeing a use in it?
Hi again,
I'm thinking of adding more to this, such as a phone answering recorder. It would mute both mic and speacker, while giving a recorded message of your own to the caller and record his answer.
It could also be usefull to be able to start it during a call. If you want to say hi to someone but don't have the time to chat.
So basicly, the app would be able to:
-share a sound during a conversation or at the beggining
-start a phone recorder during or at the beggining of a conversation (muting mic and speaker while sharing a sound and recording)
Does anyone would have time to do such an app?
Thanks
eh?
Like when you start talking with somebody on the phone, they can maybe hear a train whistle, giving them the idea that you are near a railway station?
Or a car horn so that you can fool your girlfriend in to thinking that you are in the car when you are actually in bed with another girlfriend?
Yes, that's about the idea.
You could also use it some other ways. Like make listen the caller a vocal message you had recorded earlyer on your phone.
PS: i am not responsible for what you do with your girlfrind...
This is how i would see the design.
The Record msg button would play a pre-recorded message and record the answer from the caller and create a .arm file.
The Record call should record the call and create a .arm file.
The play sound should open a quick menu to choose a sound from a folder predefined (My Documents for exemple)
I hope someone is willing to do such an app.
Cheers

I have found an old app for WM2003 which does about what i need (playing a background sound during a call).

Could anyone make something new on WM6.5 ?
Cheers
Prior to froyo, as far as i remember this was not the issue.
But now, even when I am on call, and received an SMS or any other notification of some kind, mobile will ring notification sound with default volume settings, which happens to be quite loud, especially if you are listening to a call?
Is there any solution for hits ?
i have this problem, i have to keep my volume really low in case i get a notification when on a call. sorry havn't found a fix but hopefully someone has come across this before
just bumping this and adding some more info. my phone used to be fine, i think its since the froyo OTA update. im going to try rooting etc if i cant get it fixed
hi
i had a quick search on the forums and havent found a solution, i have just changed from o2 to 3 mobile PayAndGo, (needed to save some cash) i had a notification mp3 setup to play on new email, know i understand that the same mp3 is played for any notification and not just a new email, but since been on three my phone plays the notification sound more than i get emails, im costly picking up the phone and there is nothing in the notification window or new emails.
im running android 2.2 stock, i don't seem to be able to find anyway of disabling the notification sound or anyway to say what to notify on, in settings/sound i can change the sond file that is played but don't see any way to disable it, and i don't seem to be able to find out what is causing the notification sound to play.
anyone help or know of an app that will help either set what condition the phone plays a notification or shows an event log?
i think it is down to the phone doping between 2g and 3g or coming back in to service.
thanks for taking the time to read this.
it is the mobile data reconnecting causing the Notification sound to be played.
i cant seem to find a solution to this problem. no matter what volumes i adjust i cant seem to have my notifications mute while listening to music. emails, text, ect. the only solution ive come across is setting the notifications to silent which sucks when im not listening to music because then i have to go back to each app to turn my notifications back on. but even when setting to silent it will turn down my music for a second or 2 then go back up even when on silent.
this is the most annoying feature of android. i also had this issue with my nexus but before that i had the photon and after days of searching i found a mod that fixed the annoyance. but cant find the thread again.
can someone help? i know im not the only one. i hear it at least once or twice a week from customers and ive read it all over the web but the only suggestions we get are setting rington to silent which causes a bigger problem for when your done listening to music
Hello xda,
Any time I receive a text or mail the notification sound starts low but quickly ramps up in volume. Is anyone experiencing this as well? Is there a way to set this so it's loud from the start? Hope that makes sense.
I appreciate your help and time
I noticed when the phone rings sounds only by the lower speaker, and sound very low and muffled.

it seems no one has been able to solve, i can´t believe that nobody notice this bug
I've noticed it too but just figured it was normal.

Do you have pocket mode enabled under the sound settings?

Turning off "Pocket Mode" did make a "slight" improvement, but not much. Thanks for the tip though. :good:

Many others (including myself) have noticed and posted about this issue here (though not enough in my opinion). It's not restricted to notifications and ringtones either, it happens with *all* sounds on the phone.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it. Different sound drivers, updated firmware, build.prop settings... Nothing seems to get rid of this "speaker protection" crap. I am still hopeful to someday see a mod or firmware update that addresses it though, because after trying all those different things, I've run out of ideas.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I've also noticed that, it sounds fine when I preview notifications and ringtones, but when the phone actually rings it is a lot more quiet and muted. It does appear that the top speaker is not being used for ringtones. I'll try to call htc, let's see what they say.
Called HTC, spoke with a girl who sounded like she was following some sort of flowchart. Needless to say she couldn't help and concluded that it was a defective hardware. I tried to explain that others are having the same issue and it appears to be a bug, but I don't think she understood. They are sending me a new phone. I'm sure the new phone will have the same issue. Maybe if more people call HTC with this issue, they will figure it out.

Hi there
the same problem here, without any mod, crack o root solution. But the difference were the answer from HTC technical support: " this is a technical and engineering design, it´s not a bug", this mean: " f**** you costumer, and again, a new dissapoint from HTC. I has tried in several forums, here in XDA and another ones: nothing for to do, i loose my faith in the HTC 10. It´s very frustating because a little detail ( the ringtone volume and quality) destroy a overall experience

OH, so they know about it? This is a technical and engineering design fu**-up. My notifications are half the volume of the M8. If that is their answer, then I will probably return my phone.
Any solutions yet?
On mine it rings from the bottom speaker for about 3 rings, quiet, then ramps up and uses the top speaker too. With V4a on now once the top speaker kicks in it's very loud. It gives me a chance to answer it before it blasts me out.
I just bought a new htc 10 and quickly noticed this annoying sound fading in issue, searched online and this seems to be the only place talked about it with no solution, does everybody else really okay with this??
I guess at least it sounded fine when using headphone, but with this speaker fading crap everything sound like its echoing right now. This NEEDS to get solved.
Any solution ?
I came here to search for any ways to turn this "feature" off (and that's what it is, despite how nobody asked for it or wanted it). Looks like nobody has found any solutions. But here's my theory anyway:
The "fading in" volume effect must be a function of the Boom Sound software. It's a noise gate. And it sucks. For instance, try listening to any music that has any hard hits around any silence (a good example is "Brain Stew" by Green Day). It's really annoying.
I wish somebody could figure out how to disable the Boom Sound software altogether.
According to Google, https://www.google.com/search?newwi...0i22i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i21k1.0.leWX0kmgR6I it's a known Feature of Android 5, and many people complain about it, but there is no way to disable it.
Some people can workaround the issue, on some rom, with some apps or players; there is no universal solution.
In the best case, some chat app will not bell if they are already full screen; and this is an issue for me because if I have my phone plugged, and display timeout is 1h, then, it won't bell for incoming messages, and if I am >1m from it, I won't know people are talking to me. That's why I try to always make all apps always bell. But, if I am listening to music, the permanent bell that comes with intense chat may turn the music off all the time.
I not sure if I shall downgrade my phone to Android 4, 2.2, or 1.8 ...
.. arg, I am stupid, those versions have never been ported for my most recent phone.
