Ringtone volume varies w/ incoming calls - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted SM-G900V with 5.0. The ringtone volume for incoming calls fades up and down - LOUDquietLOUDquiet. When I select and play that ringtone, the volume is consistent. I've tried different ringtones and get the same results: varying volume. I'm using the stock phone and dialer apps.
Help wanted.

Tthe ringer volume setting is being changed as the phone rings. If I hear the ringtone and answer when the volume happens to be down, then check the ringtone volume setting, it's almost off or even down to "vibrate only". What is going on here??

Still looking for help with this...

Ringer silence

Is there any way to silence the incoming phone ring. I noticed that once it started ringing there is no way you can silence the ring from the pre assigned volume level . Even if you put the audio to the lowest level the ringing volume still attains its pre assigned volume level. Wanted to ask is there any way to lower the ringing volume once it started ringing?
Is there any profiles to choose from when you are in a meeting, outdoor etc...
Do you want to silence it or reduce it, if I click on the speaker icon when phone is ringing, and click off, the sound immediately ceases.
What I normally do ...
Hi rontess,
What I normally do if I a receive an incoming call and I want to silence the ringer is I simply slide the "volume slide" button on the left down once i.e. like turning down the volume when in an actual call. This silences the phone completely!
NOTE: This does not end or place the call to voice mail it simply silences the incoming ring. So once I have silenced the call it will keep ringing "silently" or until voice mail kicks in.
Hope that was what you were looking for!
Cheers,
Steelbubble

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With my Asia Rom, just click down the volume button once will make it silent. With other rom, someone said by using the power off button.
There was a thread about this several months ago.
Hope this help

Atom's Ringtone volume problem

When listen from phone setting, the ringtone i set is loud. but actual incoming phone call comes, the ringtone's volume is soft 1 stage from setting (ie, set phone and system sound volume at 4th-stage, but actual just 3rd-stage)
-System and phone sound volume at 4th stage
-The Equalizer setting is activated and configed. If not, the ringtone is more worst.
-This "problem" found in 20060426 and later ROM. Previous ROM didn't has this problem.
-Tried set max for ringtone, the actual incoming call's ringtone's volume is loud enough, but once become miss-call, distortion sound appear.
Any solution to solve it?
Thx for helping

Change ring and text volumes without changing the volume of the screen clicks?

Hey i was wondering whether it's possible to change the volume of the text and ringing tone whilst keeping the clicking sound of the screen pretty low...because i like my texts loud but i dont want the taps the same volume. Thanks

Phone Stopped Ringing...

Stock N1 just stopped ringing (playing the ringtone). While the phone is receiving a call...pressing the volume button doesn't do anything. When in settings to change the ring volume, it works (plays the ringtone). I've rebooted twice...pulled the battery...and still no ringtone (even changed ringtones). Notification ringtones work...it's just the call ringtone.
Hoping to not Reset the phone. Any Ideas? (haven't installed any new apps for weeks)
Are you sure the volume for the ringer is up? It is possible for the ringer and notification volumes to be separately set.

System and Ringer Volume issue

Hi,
I searched the forums and found few threads for this windows mobile issue but no solution or what so ever.
Issue is with Overall Volume settings and controls.
I was previously an IPhone owner and i just recently moved to this amazing phone, however i do miss my Iphone for its few simplicity and user friendly setting options.
When my iphone was use to be in idle situation (not silent) and i use the volume rockers it use to change the ringer lever but it didnt change the media playback volume or in call earpiece volume. And When i was in a call, using the volume rockers would make adjustments to just the earpiece volume without changing any other volume setting. And when playing media it will just change the volume level for the media. This is a very natural behavior as we all would expect from our device.
But with my HD2 it gets really confusing and annoying at the same time that i dont have indivisual level of volume setting for in call, ringtone, and media playback.
I understand that we have the option to seprate the system/ringer volume level but still it doesnt work at it should.
I want to keep my ringer type/level to be at vibrate most of the time and my system to be at full or wtv level based on my preference at that time. But i want my phone to vibrate for text messeges and emails or wtv alerts i turn on. Just like how it was with iphone, if my phone was on silent(and vibrate setting on) my ringer wudnt sound and neither wud my text msges wud sound but my phone wud vibrate on text messages when vibration was turned on.
But with this phone if my ringer is at 0% volumes and system is anything above 0% my text messages wud vibrate and sound. how ever my text message sound should be attached to the ringer volume level not the system level volume.
Scenarios:
1).
System/ringer level same == no.
ringer level = 0%
system level = 50%
sms notification = on
In this above scenario if i receive a call my phone shud only vibrate and not sound. if i receive a text message it shud only vibrate but not sound. and if i play media it shud be at 50% level and my call volume shud be at 50% aswel.
But right now if i get a phone call my phone wud not ring but it will vibrate.(which is good). If i get a text message it sounds and vibrate (not good). media is at 50% level (good) and my call level is good aswell.
i am looking for a solution that would give me 2 things. First thing is to allow me to choose if i want vibration at all or no. And secondly make my notification attached to ringer volume instead of system volume.
i am sure alot of ppl are looking for this solution and would agree that this phone lacks volume settings and options.
thanks

Volume controls
Same gripe here..
Unable to get unilateral volume control on this magnificent phone.
Sometimes, its as if the smarter the phone, the dumber the remedial tasks can be.
Its not the perfect fix, but this is what I have mine set for.
Under Audio and display settings:
PROFILE: is set for normal
VOLUME:
ringer volume at zero
system volume at 50%
RING AND NOTIFICATIONS:
Ring type: Vibrate only
Notification Sounds: OFF on all..
That way, sms and email only display the green light on ear bar, rather then the chimes..
and music volume is adjustable without triggering the volumes back on..
Hope that helps.
You can choose to set independent settings for system and ringer volume control or set them up to be the same with the vol rocker keys. It is available in the settings.
