M8 GPE Ringtone Issues? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to the 5.0.1 OTA I can no longer change my ringtone. It selects a new one just fine , but when you change the volume in the sound setting it plays a single chime like tone thats I didnt select. This happens with any of the default tones or a custom one. If someone calls I also get this chime and not the tone I select.
Anyone see this behavior?

[APP] MixGet v1.1 widget to control Alsa headset volume

Hi all,
I've just released MixGet on the Market to fix the headset issue in this thread
Changelog
v1.1:
- New UI, use tab widget in configuration screen.
- Click on the icon to open the configuration screen, to change the profile, click on the radio button or the seekbar.
- Split the Media config and the Alsa config
- Handle video player state to apply the alsa settings
- Enable/disable the alsa auto settings.
- Speaker and Micro in alsa is not available for now.
- minor changes in save/restore presets.
v1.0:
No need to use adb, no need to root your phone.
It will save your "media" volume presets into 3 profiles (E)ar, (D)efault, (B)oost.
Click on the widget icon to change the profile. It also manages the headset low level driver Alsa if your phone is compatible with. Be careful when setting the alsa config if you dont want to hurt your ears .
To install the alsa library (only if you want to try with alsa):
- Enter to the config screen
- Click on Update
- Rename the update_mixget.zip into update.zip
- Reboot in recovery mode
The headset alsa volume is automatically set when the media player is playing or pausing, no need to set it again then.
This could be use on other smartphones if compatible with the alsa library. If you've already installed the alsa manually, check that you've have permission to run it. If not, delete all the files and re-install it with this widget.
Edit: if you have any problem to grab the update_mixget.zip by the widget, you can download it here and rename to update.zip then copy it on your sdcard.

thanks sir
Question
Hi gilsken, and thanks for the app
But what does it do, exactly? Is it just a fix for volume levels?
Or does it automatically apply the settings we have to do manually in the Service Menu; the "fir_coeff" settings, etc?
Thanks again!
Thanks for this! Very much appreciated!

+1. Fully agreed.
Just sum feedback.
I had AudioBoost previously, which installed ALSA. Then I uninstalled it and restarted.
Grabbed MixGet from market. Installed fine.
ALSA slider not functioning.
No button to install ALSA.
No update.zip or update_mixget.zip in /sdcard.
Does this change DiamondSolution crappy coeffs?
How to get this runnin? Remove/reinstall ALSA?
SGS JM5 rooted+CLagFix

you can manually download the update_mixget.zip here and copy it on your sdcard
No this does not change the Diamond equalizer but it seems that there is no need to set it if you are under JM2/JM5 (to be confirmed by supercurio)

It basically presets in software the volume media. The most interesting feature is, if you have installed the lib alsa with this widget, you will be able to set directly the headset volume level in hardware by the lib alsa. And it sets it up again automatically when the mediaplayer starts or stops, avoiding to lose this setting.

Yep It seems diamondcrap does not to make a difference for me.
Supplied update.zip worked. Thanks!
ALSA slider functioning. Keeping it around 70 for nice moderate boost.
As a side effect it actually increases amount of static noise.
Gotta do more tests.

Thanks for the explanation man
Nice work too.
Can you run the update.zip with CFlag fix v1.8, or do you have to uninstall it first?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Okay now I'm back after being blown away by the setting, I'm happy to say that this really works wonders. No root needed, no tedious hacking. Installed the update as well. Genius, just pure genius.
When supercurio mentioned that our SGS would be able to give power even to the most demanding headsets, well, he was spot on!
I'm off to listening to some European metal. Starting off with Alcest's latest release.
Works like a charm.
With a better GUI this make a incrdible widget.
Good Bye scriptme!!!!
thanx man, tried to install the zip through rommanager first, no success, then i went to clockwork recovery to apply it this way, also no success, then i renamed the zip to update.zip and used the stock recovery and bam... worked flawlessly. i found such behaviour already multiple times with clockwork, so there must be a bug in there...
One hint. You need to include mixget into the ignore list of advance task killer to keep it working behind scene.
hmm, it is strongly suggested to not use any taskkiller at all... if you have problems use something like auto memory manager that adjusts the memory thresholds of android task management.

Your lib alsa is installed manually but not in the good way.
You have to re install the alsa lib by rebooting in recovery and applying my update.zip

[Q] how to turn off vibration of menu/back/home/search buttons ?

Hi,
I don't know if this is possible because I have not found any setting to deactivate this. At least for me is a lil annoying... does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks!

At the moment you cannot turn off Haptic Feeback for the keys at the bottom of the phone. Motorola says it's a bug. Maybe it'll get unbugged soon.
chmod 0444 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
would totally disable the vibrator.

"How to"
In order to turn off keys vibration, you need to
- Have root on your defy (you can use z4root application, use google, download apk, install it)
- Have explorer that is able to view/edit system files (f.e. Super Manager from Android Market, remeber set "use Root" in this app settings)
- Go to the folder /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/ with f.e. Super Manager
- Create file called "enable", and then change this file atributes (chmod 444 - read, read read) for this file with super managers, and thats all.
Regards.
headblow - your instructions work brilliantly until the phone's rebooted, and then the vibrations come back. Any way to make that stick so it's not reset every time?
Can u plz make an update zip file.

Found a couple of interesting things on another forum:
There's an app someone has cooked up that will make the permission changes to the file for you, so you don't have to hunt around in Super Manager or similar file explorer.
There's no way to make the change permanent, because you're not dealing with a physical file on disk. There's an app called Autostart than runs a script as root on startup though, so adding something like:
chmod 444 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable
into that script should always turn off vibration on startup. Haven't tried it yet, wife's phone is with her at work.
Worket for me
but how ever here is just temp when i get reboot the vibrate back , but i have a bug the call is to disable vibrations and for the call vibration is neccessary , i wish disable only for the butons
I''m disabling vibrations globally with application Streak Vibrations. Vibrating during unlocking device and button feedback drives me mad.

Hi,
I have a defy (stock 2.1) since some months now ... and I have got the same annoying issue...
Because I found nothing to answer this problem, I coded an app for myself some days ago ... but if it can help someone else ...
However, you must to be root for a full using of it.
This app stops the vibrate totaly (with a 0444 on /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable) but switch it to enable (with a 777) when a call.
The app can be started at boot.
Fits perfectly for my usage ... but I'm aware if you have suggestions to improve it. Sources are shared on a SVN if someone wants them.
(I can post the url later when I have enough rights to post a link on this forum).
(sorry for my english and for the crap icon for the app : I'm not a designer )
EDIT : link for downloading is removed because a topic about VibraFix is created here.
is the problem still present on android 2.2 ?
yes on my defy with official update (Android2.2.2 / 34.164.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR).
I still using my app ^^

Freakin' awesome! I've been trying to get the haptic to stop. This worked perfectly. Maybe you should post it in the apps thread, and/or Market? Or is it there? Either way thanks so much!

Nope. I think I will not pay for publishing a fix for the Defy ...
The only thing I will do one day : change the icon because I don't like it and enable vibrate for SMS/MMS.

There is a Sound file that is used when the device boot. I had this disabled for all Android phone I have.
However, I couldn't find the file for Note 8.0.

Did you check the system/media/audio/ui folder? Can't check now, but it should contain poweron.ogg or similar file
Here is your answer
Please get "Silent Boot" from the Play Store. It is a free app.

You could re-flash the rom to fix this. Also try restoring the default value through a build prop editor.
Im having the same problem. Any solutions?

Button haptic feedback and q-button stopped working

Hello, this is my first time posting here. I was having some trouble with the touch screen not being responsive enough, sometimes missing my taps. So I installed this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347009&page=3
Not only did it not appear to change anything, after rebooting I found that my menu and back button no longer vibrate like they should (yes vibration is on in settings) and my q-button no longer does anything. And my home key does not turn the screen on now either. This has to be a simple key configuration change but someone please help me fix this issue Oh also I have the at&t version of the phone if that makes a difference.
Edit: I have found more information about this problem. One being that the mod I spoke of only changes the usr folder of the system folder which contains the key mappings gk-keypad-8064.kl file. I tested and trying to change the QuickButton command in the settings no longer affects this key mappings file as I believe it should. So somehow it either can't find the file (even though it's there) or thinks that the file is corrupt. So is there anyone who has the stock gk-keypad-8064.kl file I can use? Or maybe there should be different permission settings other that rw r r? Please let me know as I think this is the main problem here.

How about you try to flash back to the stock rom using the lg flash tool?
I fixed it with a work around. I used exposed additions to force haptic feedback and also to map the q button key. Hopefully if anyone else has this problem it will help them.
