Incoming Call Ringer Problem?! (Just curious) - Vibrant General

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue;
Anytime i receive an incoming call; the volume of the ringtone increases as the tone plays;
Not saying its a major issue; just curious if its a stock samsung issue; or if it is just my phone.

check your settings i believe you set up for ringing is for it to go up instead steady ring tone

It's your settings.

fix what? there isnt a problem, its normal.

I was going to say... This is not a problem. It's how the phone functions. It's meant to work that way.

Its not a problem for me just annoying! But you are right, I called Tmobile Today and the said thats just the way the phone is suppose to work Maybe They Will Fix It latter.........

Fix what... you called them.. That is how it is supposed to work.. No bug to fix.

I don't like it either. My ringtone speaks a phrase and the first four words are cut off. No phone I ever owned did this. It may be intentional programing but I see no benefit. I wouldn't consider it a bug. My guess is if you end up keeping the phone and waiting for a ROM with stock functionality, the annoyance will go away.

Dialing Sounds Coming out of Speaker

I know there is a thread about the busy signal coming out of the speaker (and a fix that doesnt apply to my issue) but I would like to get some info specifically about this problem with the dialing sounds (we dont have a busy signal where I live so I don't know if I share that issue).
Basically problem is this:
When I dial a number the tones come out of the speaker and are quite loud.
Anyone out there with this problem?
After further research I think its ALL of the phone sounds are coming out of the speaker.
Any ideas?
Anyone with any insight?
I was hoping upgrading the rom wuld fix this but im still having this problem.
When i deal a number the tones all come out of the speaker. It's annoying as hell.
Any solutions out there?
Anyone even heard of this?

Go to: settings > phone > Keypad
Change long tones or short tones to off and you're done.
Thank you so much. THis has been bugging me forever.

Warning Wing owners: callers can hear you while phone rings!

A word of caution to fellow T-Mobile Wing owners:
I've found out that (occasionally) when my phone is ringing, the microphone is on and the caller can hear everything! My wife mentioned that she notices this when she calls. She can hear the ringer, and can hear me talking to others BEFORE I answer the phone! This can be really bad! The last thing I need is someone calling and hearing me mutter "What the #$%^ does this $%^& want now?" Plus it gives a big feeling of lack of privacy.
I thought surely it was a fluke, so called my self via landline and found it happened about 1 out of 10 or 15 times.
My next thought was it was software - some 3rd party app or tweak had caused it, so I hard reset back to the default stock ROM and still had the same problem. I installed a few different cooked ROMs, and still had the same problem.
The next troubleshooting step is to rule out hardware. My brother and coworker also use a Wing. I tried the same test and found the same issue there, so it wasn't unique to my device.
I called T-Mobile support to see if there was anything they could do, and they gave me a few bonehead suggestions: swap sim cards, hard reset, make sure the battery is fully charged...
Since this issue occurs:
1. With a clean stock ROM
2. With different cooked ROMs
3. On multiple devices
I don't really know what can be done about this. All I can do is watch my mouth while my phone is ringing until the T-MO Diamond or whatever Android phone they release comes out...
Anyone have any ideas? All you other Wing owners may want to try this yourself, or ask someone who calls you often if they've noticed it!

oh wow no wonder.
its happend to me before.
but only once so im good.
thanks for clarification
This happens to me quite frequently. If you quickly put the phone to your ear when you answer you can hear your ringtone still playing, but hear the person on the other line as well. I think it's more along the lines of a delay in your ringer shutting off rather than the mic turning on.
Just my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong.

I do experience what you're describing, but this is different. If I leave the phone sitting on the counter, then somebody calls me, they can hear my ringer and anything going on around the phone even if I don't touch it.
It's like the phone mic occasionally turns itself on, and the caller hears the open mic instead of the normal dialing tone.

funny thing is i can actually believe that t-mobile said "make sure the battery is fully charged"

Isn't there a setting that says "automatically answer phone after 3 rings"? Could that be it?

But that's the thing... the phone isn't picked up. After about 30 seconds, it rolls over to voicemail and shows as a missed call...

hearing your interlocutor prior to answering him

Yes, I do have this rather strange issue.
It happens rather often that when someone calls me, I can hear the speak or their background sound prior to answering their call...
Indeed, one might think that this is a great bug, that could be turned into a feature, but it's rather awful thinking that one might hear me speak, before he answers my call...
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

EURM..... just don't speak when you're waiting for the other party to pick up the phone?

If you can hear what's going on at the other end of the line before you answer your call then you need to send your phone back to your manufacturer immediately.

could you please detail?
how would that help, since Vodafone will most likely exchange my phone to another HD2 which will probably have the same issue?
Moreover, in order to exchange, I'll need to demonstrate them this issue. And since it's not a regular-occuring issue (sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't), it will be hard to prove anything...

If you can hear what is going on at the other end of the line before you answer the phone (I assume you still have the ringtone at this point?) then that is a hardware failure and the phone needs to be replaced.
you could be paying for that time and as no-one else has the problem then your unlikley to get it as a recurrent fault on the next handset.

Got the same 'problem' I don't see it as a real problem though. You usually don't pay when you're the one getting called.

Agreed- if you can hear the other party before you 'answer' then it suggests the device is auto-answering. Once you can hear the other side, the line has connected regardless of whether you still hear the ringtone.
All WinMo devices have an 'auto answer' facility but it should only kick in when connected to a car kit, and even thgen only when specifically selected in Options.
This is not a common fault- indeed I've never heard of it before in any of my 8 years of supporting WM devices, so report it to Vodafone; at least it will then be on record that you have reported it.

[Q] Having problems on call volume on the other side of the call

Hi, does anyone have same problem as I? Almost everyone I call is telling me they can hear me very low. I can hear them perfectly and all of the rest regarding sound volume is perfect.

Check to see if you have any gunk in the mic hole. I highly doubt that your mic is the issue.

I've got exactly the same problem. The phone is brand new, the mic hole is not blocked at all. I dont want to send it to service beacause it takes like 2 weeks to get it solved. Are there any service codes for sm-g900f to solve such issues? Any suggestions?

it happens to me sometimes. I am not sure if it is a fault in the handset or something else. normally it works fine, but yes I started getting complaints that my voice is far away after buying the S5 (happened to me 3 or 4 times within one month)

Try turning off Noise Reduction in the dialer settings menu. This will cause this type of problem for some people. The other TW builds that have it, also have a touchscreen button so it can be easily disabled while in-call but ours is buried in the menu.

Good deal.
I used to have a lot of problems with that feature on my Galaxy SIII.
But it didn't seem to affect everyone.

It has not solved mine, though. I noticed that if there is an app running in the bacground it worsens the case. Do not know why. Perhaps I will debrand my phone and change it to xeo.

Callers can't hear me? Phone acts like I hit mute.

Very confused. New to the S7E. I've got the Tmobile G935T running APK1 stock firmware. Every now and then, while on a call, the people in talking to say they can't hear me, like I've pressed mute. Obviously I have not.
I can't make it happen. It just does randomly.
I've read some stuff about people sound randomly cutting out. But this is the caller not hearing me. I can still hear them.
Is it just me? Any advice?

I had the similar problem and searched for a resolve and a member posted that there was an adaptive sound setting that may help your phone conversations. I have the similar problem and there must be a patch or a work around for this bug.

So I need to go thru the adaptive sound setup? I can't seem to find the thread (or post) your talking about.
