Loss of phone ringtone! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
Found a problem on my SGS2:
Loss of phone ringtone when I have incoming call (it`s only vibrating).
Restart the device - the problem is gone for a while. Then I goes again.
The device not rooted.
Bought and using SGS2 from June. Did not have this problem from the beginning. It started 2 weeks ago when I started to use alternative dialing apps.
Used "Dialer one" - it woked good. Turned to "GO Contacts" - the problem started.
Turned back to "Dialer one" - but the problem remained.
Also using: GO Launcher, GO Sms and other alternative apps.
Maybe somebody had the same problem and knows how to fix it. Asking for advice.
Thank you.

Same here bro,
Never sound problems while phone is awake (so I think not likely problems hardware-wise)
But patrial or no ringtone (only a short sound) and vibration on calls and sometimes other notifications.
While phone awake no problems when being called.
Thought for a while Lookout or Juicedefender being the problem, uninstalled these and problem seemed fixed, only to reappear shortly after that...
I am also clueless (and unrooted btw) for now.

[Q] Atrix: problem with Calls (error)

Hi,
I have an Atrix and have installed the Alien4-ROM (Android 2.3.4 Kernel Version 2.6.32.9).
In addition I insalled a lot of apps.
In the nearest past I got a problem which I don't get rid of.
I even did a wipe of all the user data and installed all apps etc. again (which took me half a day).
Problem:
Sometimes (not reproducable) I am not able to ring someone or if I get a ring the phone freezes.
Starting with e.g. GO Dialer I am going to make a call, press the Call-Button and then nothing, the Screen is freezing (during the initiation of the call).
Vice versa, I get a ring do a Lookscreen-"slide" to answer the call or accept the call and then nothing, phone is restarting or is freezing.
BUT I was just trying to reproduce this behaviour again to describe, but all went fine. So I am never sure if it works or not.
So my question is how I can find out what's going wrong. I assume it's an application, but how I can monitor which application is causing this behaviour.
Is there a debugging which runs all the time (without having the USB-cable plugged in)?
Any ideas/suggestions which is the best way to do a root cause analysis?

[Q] Sound problem (all sounds coming from earpiece)

A serious problem with my device is that sound(phone ringing, music and everything is comming from earpiece instead of speaker) this makes impossible to hear the phone ringing, ive reset the phone to factory settings and reverted user apps still the same. I know the speaker is not faulty because when i restart phone it works for several minutes, the sound may come back without restarting if i kill all procesess.
I suspect the problem is with an applicaton installed but i have so many, can anyone advice how to find out what is causing the problem.
I have SGS2 with stock 2.3.4 fimware,
please...thank you in advance
Wanted help, but now i will return help.
The solution is to uninstall "Mobile Voip" application which was causing this issue
Damn application, took so much to find out whats causing this.

[Q] Blocked incoming call screen

Straight to the problem: sometimes (and in a very unpredictable manner), when i have an incoming call, plenty of problems show their ugly face. First of all, i sometimes can't accept, or decline an incoming call, because the screen isn't responding to input. Sometimes i can go around this by pressing the on/off button twice, and that would enable the screen. But, sometimes even that doesn't work. The phone just keeps ringing until the caller eventually gives up. When that happens, the phone continues to function normally.
Another problem is constant vibrations i noticed in several occasions. Instead of vibrating in "pulses" or "waves", the phone just keeps vibrating constantly, which can be very annoying in combination with the problem mentioned in the first paragraph.
At first i though it's a bug in my ROM (CM9 port for legend), but have heard people experiencing the problem on other stock devices (Galaxy SII on stock ICS, for example). So it is not that rare, but to this day i haven't been able to find a solution.
Did anyone manage to solve this problem, or find any information as to how this can be avoided?

I have the same problem with my phone. Any solution for this problem thx
Reflash, reflash, and if it happens again - reflash. The screen lock/unlock workaround was working about 90% of the time. I gave the phone to my father (clean new flash) and he didn't experience any issues with the rom so far.

[Q] [P][JB] Problem with phone app

Hey guys.
I recently upgraded to JB. I have an Xperia P.
Most of the things work, but there is a BIG issue with the phone app.
It lags and crashes to the point that I literally struggle to receive and make any call. It is by far the worst bug you can get in a phone. Coz then it ceases to be a PHONE.
Anyone else got this issue? Maybe there is a way to fix it? I have tried to repair the phone via PC companion, but nothing.
Hi
I also experienced this problem, while receiving calls it's sometimes impossible to answer (slider locks on the right side of the screen and application freezes) and make calls - short lag appears after touching the contact, then the screen blinks, then it calls or freezes. It's becoming more and more annoying. I've tried wiping data and cache of Phone application, neither helped.
That being said, I'm currently on a Jellybean 6.2.A.0.400 build, unbranded (changed from branded build, my contract provider is still keeping the OTA). I'm always in battery stamina mode and I'm using Apex launcher instead of stock.
Maybe something is interfering with the app, I don't know. Other thread about ICS being laggy suggested limiting background process limit - I didn't do it just yet, I need to check if any of background apps are not responding (turned Show all ANRs on, I wonder what will happen).
I hope somebody will find an answer to this problem.
Cheers.
I used to roll with nova launcher too, and i have the impression that when i changed back to stock, things were better.
But still not good enough. There are times that when there is an incoming call, the phone just vibrates, without any ringing.
It seems that the issue was solved in A.1.100 update, as it does not occur anymore. However, sometimes there's some trouble reaching me on the mobile, as if I had no coverage, the calls go to voicemail. Anyone has a solution?

[Q] Sound disappears! No idea when someone rings me!

A rather annoying issue has started to plague my Z2 and I was wondering if anyone else has come across it?
For the past two or so weeks it I've been having a number of missed calls (important one as well), this is despite the fact the phone as been three foot away from me. I've not heard it ring. Which is defeat the whole point of the thing.
I've now found out that occasionally it seems to want to stop making any sound. No notifications, ringtones etc. During one of it's tantrums I tried to play a MP3 via Doubletwist and it simply skipped through all of the album in record time without a single sound being played.
The only way to rectify this PIA issue is to reboot the phone.
I've also noticed that the vibrate is also occassionaly turned off, which is equally annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
My phone is on 402 and rooted.
Thanks for any advice.
Do you have any apps installed like "sd card fix" or something like that? An app that should bring back the Feature to write on sd card with other then system app? For me these apps are making similiar problems. After deinstalled, everything working as it should be.
Thank you for your reply!
I've gone through and checked, and I don't have anything like that on my phone.
My old Galaxy S3 used to play up at times by refusing to receive calls and I found out it was down to my ringtone which seemed to be 'corrupt'. A reboot and it was back up and running.
This though is odd, as I don't have ANY sound. It's as if the sound part of the phone has given up the ghost!!!
I'm not even sure what makes it happen, which is REALLY annoying. At least then I could rectify it. It just happens.
