I have the 2.1 ROM installed, and when the phone is in my pocket (or the light sensor is covered up), the phone rings at the loudest volume. This is VERY annoying as it scares me and is embarrassing when I am around people. I'm using the "old phone" ringtone.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have found no toggle anywhere!
Thanks for any help.
Did you try disabling the "Quiet ring on pickup" setting?
I have it currently disabled- I re-enabled it and it still rings UBER loud. I also just flashed to another 2.1 ROM and it is still doing it. I switched ringtones to "Standard 4" amongst others, and they all ring VERY loud. It starts off at the desired volume, but increases significantly until the 3rd ring where it is max volume. If the phone is just sitting on my desk, it rings at the desired volume constantly, but if i cover up the light sensor (any time during the ringing) it quickly goes to the loudest volume. This is getting to be a HUGE problem as this is my work phone and I can't miss calls by not feeling it vibrate, but can't have it ringing at loud volumes in the office!
^ I have the exact same problem! No matter what I have the ring volume set at, it starts out quiet but blasts to full volume. Scares the crap out of me every time!!
I'm at my wits end, this is really annoying! Does anyone know how to resolve this??

Which 2.1 ROM are you using? I'm using the original "leaked" one that doesn't allow rooting and am having the same issue.
I was using the first leaked ROM, and I thought it might be the ROM, so I switched to the "HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom." Same deal with that one. I might try another one, just in hopes of solving this problem!
Same issue here with the 2.1 HTC OTA one.
I am having this problem too and it is really annoying.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the proximity sensor on the phone. However, I don't see a way to disable the volume increase based on that. Perhaps its tied into rosie, since the proximity sensor seems exclusive to HTC.
Saw in another forum that it is a bug in 2.1. I tried the diasble quiet on pickup and that didn't work. Now using Smart Volume Free from the market and that locks in the volume I want. I still was really looking forward to the volume decreasing when I picked it up, not sure if this will help get around it but only solution was Smart Volume for me.
I tried this program, praying that it would work, but the "locked" ring volume is lagged. The phone rings at the loudest ring volume a few times before the "locked" volume takes effect. I guess it's better than full volume the entire time.
bump!! Anyone have a fix for this??
I was just thinking about looking for this thread again and see if anyone found a solution. I am rooted 2.1 and still have this problem.Is there a program or hack to fix this? I just keep my phone on vibrate most of the time because of this.
I downloaded some "Smart Volume" app or something that "locks" the volume, however, it takes a few seconds to kick in after the phone starts ringing. It will ring SUPER loud for 1 or 2 rings then quiet down when the app limits it.
I've resorted to carrying my phone in my pocket when only absolutely necessary and also answering or silencing it VERY quickly once it starts ringing.
SUCCESS! I installed the latest leak (v3) and the issue went away!!!!

My wife has a Rezound, stock. I feel 90% sure we're just missing something that an easy explanation would fix.
Here's the issue:
Wife is in a meeting so sets phone to vibrate.
Call comes in, she steps out of the metting to take it
After hanging up, the vibrate setting automatically returns to default, that is, ring out loud.
She wants it to stay in vibrate mode, but calls (or texts) automatically reset the ringer back to audible, rather than vibrate
My request: Any guess as to why this is happening? Any idea as to how she can keep it on vibrate, until she resets it back to normal ring?
Thanks in advance.
I have 2.2 stock OS, been working fine for long time, but last weekend I dropped the phone. Since then (I have powered off/on and taken battery out a couple times but no difference), the phone no longer recieves phone calls -- no ring or missed call notification; callers get sent to voicemail after 1-2 rings, and the voicemail notification does show up immediately.
2 other symptoms are that the lock screen no longer displays (phone goes straight to home screen when I press the power button), and pressing the power button for a second only shows me the Power Off option (previously it had options for Airplane mode and Data Off as well).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shaun
That's weird. I'd flash a different ROM and see if it works then. I have no idea why it would power up and skip the lock screen.
For the phones calls I'd think may e it messed up the SIM reader. Maybe its fitting in there funny now, or maybe its broken altogether. Maybe a fresh install of something would alleviate some symptoms and give us a clue as to what really is going on.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
I like sleeping. A lot. And I don' t get enough of it. Therefor I don't want to be woken up by notifications and led-blinking during the night
Enter "priority only". A wonderfull option where I can schedule my phone to not blink and notify me during sleeping hours. People I know may call me (they know when I sleep) in case of emergency. I soothing ringtone should wake me up.
BUT
I always put my phone on the wooden ledge next to my bed. No problem when the soothing ringtone is supposed to kick in, but when on 'vibrate' the whole bed makes a sound like someone drilling a hole in a concrete floor next door. Problem is, I can't seem to tell "priority only" to use a soft volume instead of vibrations for allowed calls.
Maybe I'm missing something here. That's why I'm asking you -the XDA people- to enlighten me.
Not sure if this issue is specific to the ROM I'm running or what, but has anyone else noticed that the call recording just randomly tries to turn on when taking calls?
My setup is as follows, 'Kate' device running LOS 13.0-20170301 with Radon kernel (though it did this with the stock LOS kernel too) and it happens fairly intermittently, but I can't figure out how it's happening. What happens is I'll be on a call, and suddenly my phone will vibrate once, and the 'enable call recording' pop up is displayed on my screen. I can only assume that somehow the proximity sensor randomly turns the screen on and my cheek hits the call recording button, as I'm being very cautious about not hitting any buttons, or even the touch sensor on the back, in case one of these things triggers it.
I guess the next question I'd have, does anyone know what sort of shortcuts could enable call recording? I guess my next step if this doesn't ring any bells will be to try and catch it on a logcat.
