About a month ago I screwed up my phone and had to LGNPST it for the first time. I'm not even sure if this is the moment this problem appeared but it may have been the start of something. Before that, I was running a JB CM build with a GPS lock issue that I never got around to fix and decided to fix it before I flashed a Kit Kat rom. That lead to a bad stock-based flash which then lead to the LGNPST fix. I then flashed to a different stock-based rom, updated PRL and obtained a GPS lock, then flashed a few different roms before settling on the offical CM 11 rom.
Somewhere after the LGNPST I ran into problems with the sound volume settings being completely ignored and this issue appears across multiple roms. I'll have the settings set to silent and it'll still play some odd sound whenever I receive an sms. When I try to change the sounds, nothing plays when I am previewing the sounds and if I select one the settings will crash. The ringtone files do exist in /media/audio/ringtones and they play correctly in Apollo. I have also downloaded Zedge and used it for setting the sounds inside the settings screen and it does not play the sound when previewing and crashes when I select a sound. Setting the ringtone inside of the actual Zedge application does work for the notification ringtone, but does not work with phone ringtone (it does appear to be changed in settings, but no sound is played during calls). Furthermore, when I attempt to set the sound in Hangouts for either SMS or regular hangout messages, it does not change from "Silent" but does not show any crash messages or anything.
In a possibly related note, every time I flash a new rom it will get stuck on activation until I just skip it. However, data services work completely fine. I have no problems with making calls, 3G/LTE, sending and receiving sms including pictures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My phone wont ring though, BIZARRE, this is not to do with the rom though as i think it was happening with schaps, really really strange.
Any ideas, I just get a phone icon where the signal strength bar is showing handset. No callerid flashing up, not even an option to accept the incoming call. I go to phone options and test the ring tone and it plays just fine.
maybe i should reflash the radio, on 1.50 at the mo which i recently flashed to downgrade from 1.51, any ideas?
maybe i miss something totally obvious.
bumppppp? anyone?
same happening to mine on ultra ultra lite re-furbished
i had to flash another rom, then it worked. when i flashed back to same rom it didnt work again. the problem started after i added some cabs and did my regular tweaks. even with the fresh install of the same rom after flashing another rom it still didnt work.. i even changed radios
i'm on ultra lite, and it seems nice. So you saying i should flash another rom then come back to ultra lite?
Ok,
I just reflashed schaps, then flashed ultra lite.
I STILL have this wierd problem, what's going on?
Is my fone knackered? Not much good if it don't ring!
the rom has been discontinued and he is fixing it
known bug.....wait until new relase
shame it's a nice ROM, nice un' quick. fixed yet ?
same here..
I noticed that no sound was coming out of the phone when i did a soft reset and the Schap's Rom boot up with the animation + sound didnt sound. Also my speaker phone does not work. Basically and audible sound does not work!!!! i tried flashing it with dutty's rom, still same problem.. any ideas?
Hope this helps in resolving this issue!
Hi. I've run into this issue myself too. Here's my environment:
Cooked ROM via Pandora's Kitchen 7.1 with 3.61 OS
Using Dutty's Touch Dialer (2G) option in BuildOS
Everything was fine with the ringer for a whole week. I then decided to be a bit adventurous and went to look for a 3g dialer because the Touch one is only 2G. I then settled for Schen's 3G dialer 2.0 and followed his instructions in installing it (install OEMSign2007cert.cab first, then the dialer, which was the one with the dialer directory option). I didn't install any colored background cabs as provided by his package.
When I tested the dialer (outgoing portion), it seemed fine. I couldn't test the 3G option because we don't have 3G here yet. The problem began when I received my first call.
I was able to hear the incoming call beep through my BT headset, but that was the only indicator of an incoming call, in addition to the phone icon above the signal meter in the top bar signifying an incoming phone call. Besides that, there were no other indicator such as a pop-up window showing incoming caller's info, phone ringing, or even the vibrate function. I have my phone set to vibrate and ring with the Ringer-Vision.wma as the default ring tone.
I tested the vibrate and ring setting in the phone configuration panel and both the vibration function and ring tone worked. I tried several configurations such as vibrate only, ring only, etc, in addition to other various ring tones of different format (wma, mid, wav). All resulted in success in the phone configuration panel, but in failure when an incoming call came in.
To test the phone function, I used a land line, a cellular line, and SkypeOut. All three resulted in the same failure observed above.
Given that the only thing changed after that week was the 3G dialer, I proceeded to remove it and reboot. It reverted back to the Touch 2G dialer. When the phone rebooted, I retried the above tests and all resulted in the pop-up dialog with incoming caller information (plus the two softkey functions), vibration function, and the proper ringtone.
With the above results, would it help you guys in further diagnosing and fixing this problem? We are slated to have 3G within the next few months and I would like to be able to use this function.
Thanks!
Edit update: One other thing is that I tested the above both with and without my BT headset on.
Quakie
I do understand what you are talking about how you tested out the ringers in the phone options menu.. but for me any type of sound does not work, i ran tests there no sound, speaker phone does not work, MP3 do not sound. The sound only works through a head set. And when im on a call i could hear the other person and vise versa. So the problem is the speaker just went out after a couple of days of having Schap's rom. I tired flashing another rom a couple of days after. No luck. Any ideas?
-thanks
So I had a TP2 (from Telus) for approximately 2 months with the stock ROM. I put some custom ringtones on it, and set it up to play a sound and vibrate on incoming calls, incoming SMS, incoming e-mail.
When I first start the device, everything works fine for a while, however, after some period of time (varies) the audible alerts for SMS and e-mail stop working...still works for incoming calls (so it's not muted or anything).
Randomly, the vibrate feature will stop "working" as well, it won't completely stop working, but instead of a long vibrate, I get ONE vibrate (like you get when you push a key on the soft keyboard).
I upgraded to an EnergyROM WinMo6.5 ROM last night, and this afternoon this problem surfaced AGAIN.
Any solutions / thoughts?
Thanks
convert your sounds into another format.

What format?
All three (including the phone ringer, which always works) of the sounds-in-question are MP3s.
Try using WMA
though I must say my TP2 works fine with MP3 media as well.
same thing happens mine too. mostly ok but sometimes no sound from my tp2 or different ring tones. I have original rom
Nope. This is most likely a hardware issue, unless you are running a non-ATT device. The format has nothing to do with it; the device can actually play movie files (audio portion) without a single problem, even when on the storage card. It sounds like a hardware problem about the vibrate thing. But, that notification thing sounds pretty much software. Try with the stock sounds and see if it makes a difference then put the custom ones on main memory and try again.
Posting here since I'm a newb. I recently rooted and flashed a 4.2 ROM to my phone for the first time and I'm having some issues.
First, as many people have reported, I can not receive MMS. I have successfully sent one using ChompSMS, but when I receive one, I get a notification that I have an MMS, and Chomp displays the message size, but it never downloads. I have tried this using WiFi and mobile networks.
Then, a music app (dSub) that used to transmit track information over bluetooth to my car's stereo has stopped doing so. I no longer get the artist, track and album name on my head unit like I used to.
Last, the app automatically reduces volume on music if another sound takes focus (notification, for example). It is supposed to return the volume back to the initial level afterwards, but with this ROM, the phone volume stays very low. Even if I manually change the volume down and back up, or use different apps, or manually kill the music app, the volume is not restored to normal levels until I reboot the phone.
Any ideas on fixing these issues? The ROM has been great and very smooth otherwise.
EDIT - Fixed my MMS issue, I had forgotten to check "auto-retrieve" in the MMS settings of the stock messanger. Still looking for info about the bluetooth and volume issues.
So kind of a weird issue that I've never experienced even on custom Roms. My phones ringtone has stopped working. It will vibrate and always receives calls, I have notification sounds and alarms work just fine but the phone never actually rings it only vibrates. I've tried all the setting thru the quick menus and digging thru the settings. I've tried changing ringtones, using different ringtones, vibration on and off and I can't figure it out. This is a recent problem as the the ringtone did work before but has stopped since. Any help would be appreciated.

get zedge from play store get any ringtone download then set as default ringtone see if that works
I'm pretty sure that I've been having issues with it not ringing properly when in my pocket. Either it's not ringing at all or it's so quiet it's inaudible. I just turned off "pocket mode" and "quiet ring on pickup" in sound settings. Haven't got the chance to test whether one of those settings is the cause yet, but I have a feeling one of them is.
Sometimes when receive incoming call, phone won't ring, just vibrate. That's happening randomly, sometimes it's ok for 2 days and then start, sometimes on every couple of calls, for 2-3 calls it's not ringing and then start to ring normally again... Of course, I'm not in silent mode, volume is set to max, when enter settings and select ringtone, it plays fine...
This start when I upgrade to Lollipop, on stock rom and custom roms, tried 4-5 roms, all Sense. I run RUU for couple of times, for clean start of new rom, my firmware is up to date, but it happens every time, so I think it is Lollipop problem, not rom.
Is anyone experienced this problem too, or know some solution?
Thanks.
So no one have this problem? For everyone phone rings fine every time?
Try to restart the phone. It will solve the problem for you. My wife's phone had same problem and that's what I did.
Yes, I restart the phone and the problem re-apear shortly, so that is not the solution.
m8 problem
I have the same fcking problem for over 2-3 months now and I think it's lollipop problem, it's very annoying every day I got dozens of missed calls ...i don't know what to do, did you find anything ?? Thanks
Did you set some ringtone which came with Lollipop, or some of yours personal ringtones?
I always use my ringtone, simple mp3 file, but I select one of pre-installed ringtone about 3 weeks ago and have no problem since. Don't know why, but it seems that Lollipop have some problems with some mp3 files. Those files plays perfectly well in any music app on phone, but if you set it like ringtone, sometimes ringing and sometimes not.
I found some program that helps to "convert files to Android-playable" so I convert my mp3 ringtone with that program (still mp3, but larger size) and will see if that helps.
I have done it today so must pass week or two to be sure if it helps or not, will post here.
So, my converted ringtone didn't work. Then I tried to put the mp3 file in to /system/media/audio/ringtones where the other ringtones are, but that didn't work either. I noticed that most of stock ringtones are in .flac format, so I converted my ringtone to .flac and it worked! My phone rings normally for 2 weeks now.
So, if anyone have problem with their custom ringtones, just convert them to .flac format with any sound converter on PC and that will be fine.
Ok I will do it your way, just to inform you, I did a factory reset for nothing same as before everything is working like, notification sound, message sound, music player but still no incoming sound, this is a really fcked up thing, it's nothing to repair the software is fcked up I guess,I am so dissapointed
Just convert your ringtone to .flac format with any free converter (ask Google), and it will be fine. For me, it's working over the month now.
The ringtone sound is fine now(tried it your way), but now I have another problem with mic, when someone tries to call me they can't hear me only on speaker mode, really mad now X(.
It might look silly, but try to make G calibration (Settings>Display & gestures>G-sensor calibration)
