HTC Incredible :: Strange Sound After Startup
Aug 22, 2010
I am experiencing a weird problem. On startu,p while the notification bar is displaying "preparing sd card" and "preparing phone storage" a strange tone is played. It sounds like a ringtone preview...but it doesn't sound pleasant. It makes you believe that there is an error somewhere, but there is no verbal notification. I recently updated several apps at once and installed a new one. I thought this may be the problem, but I still have the sound after uninstalling new app.

I updated my Incredible to Froyo and now when it powers on, it plays the 'Droid' sound.
I need this to not play the audio. How do I do this?

My wife was trying to make a call last night but wasn't getting any audio. She tried a couple times but with the same result. I told her to reboot and see if that clears it up.
Well first indications of an issue was during the start up it went to the screen with the little Android guy poking his head up from the bottom but the one on the side never came. Then it just looped around and did the same thing. The little droid popped up then disappeared.
So I pulled the battery and powered up again. It did the same thing for about 3-5 minutes then finally came up. I get to the home screen and there's a headset icon flashing in the notification bar. It was confusing why it was showing that when there was no headset attached. I tried making a call but still no audio. I plugged headphones in and the icon changed to headphones and I got audio. When I unplugged it went right back to the headset icon with no audio...
I played with it for awhile, going through settings trying to see if there was something set that was hosing it up. Couldn't find anything. I decided to try some of the audio streamers (Last.FM, Pandora) to see if I could ferret out the issue. Last.FM produced no audio. But when I fired up Pandora, the headset icon went away and audio started coming out. I verified you could get 2-way audio on a call and everything seemed normal.

I put a new SD card in my phone, and when I connected it to my laptop via USB, it started making a very high pitched, annoying, noise....it continued until the drivers had installed, then it stopped instantly.

On my Captivate, sometimes when I boot up (turn on phone) it does not make any sound. I prefer it that way, but must have turned it "off" inadvertently. Not sure what I did - is it an app I downloaded maybe, or perhaps a certain keystroke?

Is there any way I can change the startup sound for the droid separately from all the other notifications?

I know some of you have been wanting to get rid of that annoying startup sound on your phone. Here's what you'll need....(some instructions copied from Maerlim to save time)
You'll need the Android SDK (guide to download and install is here)
You'll need the USB drivers (Stickied post in this forum)
You'll need root access (look for the Captivate Root thread by chaoscentral)
You'll need Busybox (available on the market after you root the phone)
Connect USB to phone with USB Debugging ON
Open a Windows Command prompt in the SDK install directory
cd tools
adb shell
su
cd etc
*******************
I suggest backing up the file before deleting
cp PowerOn.wav /sdcard/
*******************
rm PowerOn.wav
exit
exit
THAT'S IT! I renamed the Windows 7 logon .wav file to PowerOn.wav and copied it to the /etc directory on the phone played it on startup, so you should be able to put whatever you like in there!
If you want to copy a file there.....
Open a Windows Command prompt in the SDK install directory
cd tools
adb push "the location and name of the file on your pc" /sdcard (example adb push %userprofile%DesktopPowerOn.wav /sdcard)
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/PowerOn.wav /etc
exit
exit

I've had my moment for a few days. When I'm on a call, this strange sound occurs from time to time. It sounds like it is coming from in the phone itself, so I think it's a hardware issue. The only way I can think to describe it is it sounds like a spring. Not boing-boing-boing-boing like a pogo stick, but just boing-boing very quickly. Once I thought was able to recreate the sound by moving the phone closer and then further away from my head, but besides that one time I've not be able to recreate it. It just occurred randomly about 24 times during a 30 min call.
At first I thought that the way I hold the phone or the proximity to my ear affects it, but again, I cannot consistently recreate it. Any ideas?

Strange Calendar Bug:
As of this morning my Google calendar has 3 calendars. I have the one that is my main account, another which I created under the main account and share with the wife, and the third is US Holidays. This morning the colors of the calendars were as follows:
Main: Orange
Shared: Blue
Holdidays: Greyish Blue
I just changed them to:
Main: Orange (The orange that is the top left choice of the color chart)
Shared: Blue
Holidays: Green (The green that is on the left directly below the orange)
Here is the bug. In the HTC Calendar app, all of my calendars now show as Orange, however, in CalWidget the colors are displayed correctly. It seems to only happen when I choose that particular Green.

Just recently I've been noticing my Wi-Fi toggle widget acting up. It seems like it doesn't want to turn on my wi-fi for some reason. I've tried both stock wi-fi widgets and when I press them I see the green switch flip, but no wi-fi goes on. Only when I go into Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings do I see "out of range" suddenly disappear and then I'm connected. My wi-fi won't turn on unless I actually watch it do so. Has this happened to anyone else?

Every time I start my phone it seems that every program in the app catalog starts up. Until I activate the Advanced Task Killer and shut them all down, the thing runs like a hog. I have quite a few programs installed, but I dont use them all all of the time. Why do they all start up and is there any way beside the ATK to stop them? Is there any way to modify the startup files?

I am not sure if this has already discussed, but I couldn't find the thread with the same issue, so I am posting this. This may be a bug, or may be a feature that is incomplete. I am using the Droid Incredible with OTA'ed froyo 2.2, with factory resetted. My wife's Droid Incredible with OTA'ed froyo 2.2 without resetted has exactly the same issue. This seems to happen from fundamental android OS layer directly, as it appears on both launchpro and Sense UI.
I don't remember if the phone showed the same option with OS 2.1, but after update, I noticed the strange second option has been appeared with some of my contacts. I tried to un-link those contacts (i.e. phone contacts, google contacts or twitter contacts, etc) to figure out which part is making this problem with no success. Does anybody have the same issue? When I click the problematic option icon, the pop-up window comes offering me a choice of action with different applications.

During the first couple of weeks, back in June, when I received my Incredible I was receiving text messages from the same individual or something whom I don't know. The messages looked like this: 4756://BREW:0108f3d4:GCD. After a while I stopped receiving them. Now tonight I received another one. Does anybody know anything about this or has anyone else received these messages?

I manually linked a few contacts in HTC Sense to their corresponding Facebook profile. Afterwards I see strange behavior including one or more of the following:The contact becomes unavailable to Google Gesture Search One or more single digit telephone numbers are added to the contact adding clutter. I learned I can delete these if I click Menu > Edit > choose Google > remove when clicking on the contact in the People app, I receive an error that the contact is not available I am running the stock Android 2.1 that shipped with my Incredible. This seems like a pretty substantial bug. Has anyone experienced and/or solved it?

My phone died on me Saturday night so I took it home and put it on the charger. When it came back on, it told me my software had been successfully updated to some kind of version 3.2.something. I didn't pay attention to what it said had been updated, I just thought "cool" and hit OK. Well once I hit ok, things start force closing. I reset the phone and Color Notes stops unexpectedly immediately. Lots of my widgets say "Problem loading gadget". At least 3 out of 5 on each home screen. Lots of my apps will not open. They open then immediately close. Lookout will not initialize. Pandora closes immediately. Also, I lost most all of my contacts. My Google contacts are still there, but all the Phone contacts are gone. My call log is gone. Internet history. Some settings are gone like default program settings and sound settings. My wallpaper, emails from my Gmail account as well as settings, unlock password, calendar entries, and some other things are still there on the phone. I have NO IDEA what the hell happened, but I would really like to try to get this fixed without hard resetting my phone.

Self explanatory. I really want this to go away. It's (frankly) embarrassing when I turn it on at work. It used to be silent, with the exception of notification sounds on booting up.

I am looking for the default sound files from the Incredible. Specifically, I am looking to the "doot" sound when you press the volume slider. Does anyone have this sound file? It is not located with the alarms, notification, or ringtones. Also, as an added bonus, I am looking for the notification sound from SportsTap as well.

This is starting to get really annoying. I'm trying to limit my use of the Advanced task Killer, but it seems like some apps REALLY LIKE being on and running - especially after a reboot.
I have NEVER used the FM Radio app, but it's always on - WHY?
Others, like YouTube and Key Ring, I use, but not very often - why would they be running after a reboot?

I know there are apps like Autostarts that do this, but I'm looking for a way to do it via the shell. Is there a directory or file within Android that stores startup stuff? For example in Windows, I'd look in All Programs/Startup or something.

I was wondering what you guys use to kill unneeded apps at startup. Right now I am using Startup Manager, but I don't feel like it's doing the job right. Any other suggestions?Sorry if this is in the wrong topic, but I figured it did have to with rooted apps

All of a sudden I can't hear anything through calls. I can hear things if I play it through the speaker, but my ear piece doesn't put out anything. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried factory resets with no difference.

We recieved a text with a 'slideshow' attachment. It has a .qcp extension. When I tap on it it appears to be trying to play a 23 second audio, tiny grandsons signing Happy Birthday to Grandma. There is no sound.
How do I hear this? I was able to 'save' it, but I can't find it with Astro. I have heard I could email it to myself and it will arrive as a .wav - but if that would work, how do I do it?
