Hi all,
I've just done a search on this and have found a few posts but none with a conclusive answer to my problem.
I have upgraded to Schaps 4.x ROM and all has been fine for a good few weeks, then without [knowningly] changing anything, the phone has stopped ringing or vibrating no matter what ring tone/type I select. I still see the pop-up of the name/number of person calling but no sound whatsoever.
When I play the sample tones (using the play button in sounds & notifications) the ringer plays fine. Also other notifications (SMS, Email, etc) seem to be fine.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Many thanks.
Now thats a coincendence as I'm seem to have extactly the same problem.
Not all the time thou and I have recently flashed my phone with Farias new rom.
I couldn't be bothered to diagnose the problem any more than I have already have so just did a hard-reset and finished installing my apps. I forgot to create a working back-up before and will do one this time!
It would still be good to know if this problem does get resolved.
yes, i have the same problem with
Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2, which is based on Schaps 4.x ROM i presume.
so it looks like a bug in the OS itself, or maybe something in Schaps Advanced Config Tools.
because sometimes Vibration starts working (sometimes for a couple of hours, sometimes just until the next call, sometimes for a couple of days) and then it doesnt work again.

Actually, sorry, my mistake in my original post, I used to have the Schaps ROM but then changed it to Shamanix one too- based on Schaps though like you've mentioned.
Anyway, I got just a bit annoyed with it and like I said, did a hard-reset. I re-installed all the same apps and no problems so far. Not sure what triggered the problem though.
the same problem exactlly, I flashed Faria - the last -I think it is a 6.1 error
Phone ringer resets itself to silent.
Just to be clear about the problem I am having, my phone periodically turns off the ringer and vibrate and goes to silent without any prompting.
I first noticed this when I flashed to a Faria's first 6.1 rom. It was suggested that the Home "profiles" tab had something to do with this. Apparently the "Auto" switch in the profile tab is supposed to turn off the ringer during appointments. I have not ever used the profiles, and in fact I usually disable the profiles tab in HTC home. Also at that time, I found that the ringer would be randomly turned off even when there were no appointments scheduled.
I switched to a 6.0 rom and continued to have the same issues. I have flashed a OEM rom and reflashed the newest Faria 6.1 rom and I am still having the ringer turn to silent, however now it does seem to be primarily when an appointment is scheduled, though I have never set it to "Auto" in the profiles.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this? It is frustrating to be missing calls every day.
seems it is a very old problem:

maybe it is something with Hermes hardware problem?
another thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288728&highlight=mute;+no+sound
mostly everybody who has this problem start having it NOT after flashing\updating software, but after sometime of just using a device. so it SEEMS to be a hardware problem with some contacts, which brake\disconnect cuz of vibrations and\or just oxidation\corrosion.
I have the same problem, and I don't think the above threads are the same thing. The ringer just doesn't work for incoming calls, regardless of which ringtone I use. I have it set to ring and vibrate, and up until a couple days ago, it would at least vibrate, but no ring. I was ok with that, but now it won't vibrate. I do get the voicemail notification sounds, and I get sound for incoming text messages. Vibrate also works with text messages and such.
And now that I'm typing this, I just received a call, and the phone vibrated! It was set to ring and vibrate, though. At least it's vibrating again, but I miss my ringtones!
I'm running K's rom version 1.31 right now, but I'll be installing K's final rom as soon as the download finishes. I also plan on installing all my programs one by one and soft resetting in between. Hopefully if it's a software conflict causing this, I can narrow it down that way.

same here.. i already try installing a few diff rom.. but it still cant fix the mute problem.. can anyone else help us? hmm
I got K's final rom installed, and I finished installing all of my crap. My ringtones work fine now. I have to say, I wish I would have installed this rom earlier; it's much faster. I think I'm going to backup my registry now, so if the ringtones do quit working again, I can at least prove whether or not the registry had the problem. I'll update if I learn anymore about this.
Like I mentioned in a earlier thread, I installed Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2 ROM which was about 5 weeks ago; ringtones were working perfectly and all of a sudden they stopped.
I'm not sure if I did 'something' by accident to cause this problem. But having reflashed using the EXACT same ROM and apps, the ringtones are working fine again.
Hey,
I know theres a lot of threads about htc/android phones freezing and crashing/rebooting but none of them really described my exact situation. And since it's getting worse and worse and driving me crazy, I wanted to ask for help.
As the title suggests my HTC Desire keeps freezing and crashing (sometimes rebooting, too).
It all probably started shortly before I first rooted my device, following the great sticky noob-tutorial. First problem was, that sometimes my phone wouldn't wake up from standby, especially after I a missed call (rooting didn't solve that problem).
Some time later, now rooted and with a custom ROM, I noticed, that sometimes when I wanted to use my phone, it showed the PIN-screen, which obviously means, that it rebooted quietly (don't remember if this also happened before rooting).
A few days ago it started to completely freeze, when connected to the charger. Orange LED showed it was charging but no reaction to pressing any buttons or disconnect the charger.
Since yesterday it also crashes randomly in standby mode (can't wake it up) or e.g. when watching a video (just freezes the device, no reaction to button-pressing, screen stays on etc.)
now I am running the stability test with the charger connected - no problem for 1h10min til now...
The ROM I am running is the latest cool sense (problems also existed before the latest update)
No modification of CPU (I used to use SetCPU but since I thought that would cause the problems I uninstalled it -> no improvement)
What could be the problem here? (And how can I solve it, of course?)
Anything else than a full wipe, which could help? (that would be my last option...)
Thanks for helping...
it just happened again -.-
I was just backing up some apps with titanium backup and in the middle of scrolling through the list - freeze!
dunno what to do...
is this hardware or software related?...
Hello.
It would be pretty easy if it is a soft problem. This kind of problems are usually dealt with by installing another ROM and see if the problems persist. So if you want to try and eliminate the last option, go and install another ROM, it can be a Stock ROOT-ed ROM, Sense or anything.
The fact that you mentioned your phone was crashing even before rooting got me thinking it is a motherboard fault. I've read some threads in which people had the same problems, and in the end they all got to the same conclusion: motherboard fault. The only resolve with this is to get it to guarantee.
So first of all try installing another ROM and if the problems persist, you will need to install a RUU and see if this one eliminates your problem. If not then I don't know if there is anything else you could do, besides getting it to the guarantee.
I wait for your progress.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The funny thing is, that I didnt have those problems with this ROM in the beginning. Everything was fine, that's why I was using it the whole time. But as I said before, it became worse by and by... thats why I thought it could be an app or so...
that would be a recent list of apps: appbrain.com/user/marioiram/
Cannot even sync my newest list, because after freezing while watching a video, it froze again shortly after reboot... still getting worse
Try reinstalling the ROM or installing another ROM.
hm.. just when I was thinking about following your advice, my desire stopped freezing xD
no crash, no freeze oder reboot since my last post.
I even tried to force it by watching videos, playing games, connect to the charger etc.
everything is fine... strange.
Will see for how long
Well this is good news. Just keep in mind what you can do if the rebooting comes back. Hope it doesn't
Well, it did xD
Now even shortly after reboot. I'll try ROM changes as soon as I get home but there's something I noticed: it often freezes when it's supposed to display a whatsapp notification and sometimes it seems there's a problem with the sdcard (just bought a new one because my old one went nuts). Sometimes the notification 'sdcard was removed unexpectedly' (translated from German) is appearing, but after waiting a few minutes everything is fine again...
Well I'll try some stuff when there's time...

I've tried my best with the search tool and google. But I cant find anything regarding my problem, thus I'm asking here (I keep finding questions from people who want random ringtone apps etc)
My phone has begun to randomly change my sounds for incoming calls, notifications etc. I usually note that it happen when someone calls and all of a sudden a random sound is played instead of the one I selected.
I've investigated a bit and found out that if I change the incoming call sound then just wait a hour or so. Then when I go back into settings again another sound is shown. And no, I haven't had the phone connected to my PC or anything like that (which I understand blocks the SD card and prevent sounds from the SD to play while connected). The sound change happens no matter how I set the sounds (via settings or via Sense/Personalize).
This just started to happen out of the blue. I've tried a full wipe of the phone while on ARHD 6.1.2. The problem was still there, did another full wipe and upgraded to ARHD 6.3.1, and its still there.
Did you try another ROM then ARHD (Such as MIUI for example) to see if it's still happening?
I havent had the time yet. But I will try. Though the problem began after a few month on ARHD 6.1.2, so my first thought was that it might not be the ROMs fault. But then again I could be wrong, will try another ROM and come back with my findings.
And I just found someone else with a similar problem; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21541054&postcount=62550
I've started getting this problem on a stock ROM after the latest OTA. Very annoying...
Hello,
First I apologize for opening a new thread instead of posting in the CM11 thread, but till now I don't have write privileges there.
I recently unlocked and permrooted my Desire HD then installed Mustaavalkosta's CM11, but as a newbie, I have some issues I require assistance with. To note that I did an extensive reading before I did any rooting and installing a new rom.
1- I find myself not hearing anything during calls. It's sort of like my internal speaker got muted somehow after installing CM11. I tried multiple apps to no avail. I read somewhere that if u fail to flash the boot.img in the rom u might get this issue, but thing is I did flash the boot.img after I installed the rom and the recovery and wiped the cache. I can hear the calls with the external speaker turned on and with the headphone, so I think it's not a hardware issue but a software one. Any fix to this?
2- After each restart, the UI somehow resets itself. I mean many of the settings and widgets I use either get reset or vanish like the sleep option in seetings for example (I put the screen to turn off after a 1 min and it resets to 15 sec after each reboot which is annoying as hell). Also, many apps like Dolphin and GoSMSPro shortcuts vanish from the home screen after each reboot, while whatsapp for example doesn't. I'm not able to figure why some app shortcuts vanish while others don't.
3- I tried to use ART instead of dalvik, but yet again after each reboot, dalvik is back. So effectively, I can't benefit from ART.
4- other minor bugs which I will not mention for now till I solve the 3 main ones.
If someone can provide some assistance (mainly for the first issue which is the major one), I will be very grateful. It's becoming increasingly annoying and embarrassing to turn the speaker on every time I receive a call, bc most of the times I am in a room with other individuals or in a meeting, and I am forced to have them hear the conversations bc not always I can excuse myself.
No one has any input on this?
After wiping data, dalvik cache, android secure, etc... and reinstalling the stock rooted 2.3.5 Rom, I still had the same internal speaker issue on calls. The heaphone icon was on even though there were no headphones plugged. I installed 2 widgets (togggleheadset 2 and headphone fix) and the issue was fixed. To note I had this problem back on my unrooted stock Desire HD before I rooted it and upgraded to CM11 BR3 thinking the new rom will fix this problem.
So after I made the calls work on Gingerbread stock rooted rom, I did a clean wipe once more and installed CM11 BR4. The problem reemerged. And the 2 widgets couldn't be redownloaded bc they are not compatible with kitkat. The other issues mentioned in the OP disappeared, only the incall volume issue remained.
I need to mention that many Desire HD owners have had this problem on their Froyo and Gingerbread stock builds, and usually the 2 widgets I mentioned above helped fix the issue. On 4.4.2, it seems some android users have complained of in-speaker audio volume being very low, so maybe this worsens the issue I had instead of fixing it.
I'm leaning to think that it's mostly a software/code issue, otherwise why would the widgets fix the problem on an earlier version if it's hardware related? hence, there could be a workaround for it on Kitkat if someone knowledgeable cares to look at it. Maybe the code turns off the internal speaker or lowers the volume so much it becomes unhearable. The headphone and external speaker are just fine, I can hear the other person in the call without any problem. It's when I rely on the internal speaker that I hear nothing.
Hope someone can offer some assistance here.
Hey all,
So I'm posting this thread regarding a couple pretty weird glitches and bugs occurring on my G3, 3 specific ones.
The first: (Probably the least serious but still REALLY annoying) At EXACTLY 12:00AM every night no matter what timezone I set the phone to (I'm in AU on the AEST GMT+10 timezone but it does this at the same time on any timezone) the phone will switch it's WiFi off automatically without warning, reason or explanation. It just goes off and then I have to manually turn it back on. Sure I could use an app such as Tasker or AutomateIt to turn it back on but I don't see why this is occurring in the first place?
The second issue (Most recent): Lately after updating to the V20E firmware for my D855 I've noticed that a graphical glitch (Specifically related to the colour Blue) occurs when there are fast moving elements on my phone's screen (Such as when I move a chat head around on my phone from Messenger, or when I'm scrolling Facebook or my App Drawer fast, there's just a blue box around whatever object/s appear to be moving on my phone's screen. I've not dropped the phone at all, and it has only been present since updating from the V20D ROM. Not sure what could be causing it.
The third and by far the MOST ANNOYING of the issues I'm having, is that for no apparent reason, whenever I am listening to Music with the stock Music player, and I lock the screen (The screen goes off) about 5 seconds later weird stuff starts to happen..
The song will pause, play or even stop completely, seemingly on its own. The "phone" will change songs, artists and sometimes complete albums and playlists completely by itself, with me doing nothing but staring at the lock screen (It keeps doing it until I re-enter the Music app, then when I lock the phone the whole cycle just repeats itself.)
I've done some looking around and careful observations on the phone itself, and it seems that before the weird stuff starts happening to my music, the phone opens Voice Mate by itself, and then if I'm not present, it apparently closes it and then that's when the stuff happens. I've tried everything I can on a non-rooted phone to stop this. I've tried re-installing the Music app, Uninstalling all updates to the Voice Mate and it's packages to the factory version, force-stopping Voice Mate, everything and no matter what I do the phone still opens Voice Mate and the weird stuff starts happening (It's like it's taking commands from Voice Mate to do something but I'm not even doing anything ) It's been doing this since I got my phone when it came with Android KitKat 4.4 (I was on the D10M ROM until I moved to the D20D Android L ROM) and I moved ROMs doing a completely fresh start ( I factory wiped the phone and then upgraded via a CSE flash and put all my stuff back on it manually) and I would've thought a completely fresh start would have fixed it but apparently not... Either it's a bug that's been present for a while, or it's something deeper than the ROM.
So yeah some pretty weird issues, if someone knows what could be causing them, please let me know, especially if you know a way to solve them.
Cheers guys.
I'm having a very similar problem with regards to #1 but it's doing it with Bluetooth for me!
At midnight on the dot, it will disconnect my connected Bluetooth devices. It doesn't shut Bluetooth off, it just drops the connection. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/bluetooth-disconnects-midnight-t2973187
