Is there a way to stop the "fade in" in the beginning of the ringtone. I do not like it's implementation. It is kind of too fast and the effect is annoying. I see no option for this anywhere.
Seeking how to stop the increasing ringtone too
I also have the same problem (actually not a problem, just dun want it)
I find all the setting in phone but no way out
any suggest?
If you set an mp3 as the ring tone, does it still do it, I don't think mine does :/
yes, I edit a mp3 in PC and copy in i9000 then set as ring-tone, I still behave the same, sad.......
have the same problem
it was on my omnia i900 too. The modding community managed to tweak it away, so its only a matter of time before you can get a small tweak to turn it off.
But I believe that Samsung made this a feature (i read it somewhere long ago) in that sometimes people have just finished a call and the phone is still next to the ear, they might receive another call (with the phone still next to their ear), with the fade in feature, the ringtone wont blast into the persons ear which can cause damage, instead it starts off low volume and then increases, allowing time for the phone to move away from the ear.
hope that made sense
i like it how it is, what is so bad about the volume up per ring?
at most after the 4th ring it goes to voice mail, it doesn't get that annoying
its not really a problem indeed, but I will notice a call when I at street after the ring-tone finish fade-ing, it may be the 2tnd or 3th ring of the person who call in, after I pick the phone out of my bag and looking the information who call in, it may be the 4th or 5th ring then that person may think it is no body to answer or the system make it goes to voicemail............I miss the call...........

Like most things it's called choice. I prefer no increasing ring as well.
I'd like this gone too! The fading ringtone is irritating
This also is a problem to me.
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't make this an option for us to turn the feature on or off, not to mention configurable fade-in time.
The problem is here since, I don't know, i900, perhaps?
I would also like to see this disabled. Hopefully someone will find out how to do it soon!!
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd really like this problem solved also. Obviously there's no clear option to change this, however does anyone know where we can start looking? (ie. certain config files or similar for rooted users.)
There's still no solution?
any update on this?
have you tried 3rd party ring tones apps
those have its own way of playing sounds when a calls comes in, some replaces the stock features.
try ring extend and ringo plus and many many more
android market is full of it

Thanks AllGamer, but I've tried many apps including Rings Extended, Ringo Lite and Zedge, but they just replace the ringtone picker. No matter which app I use, I always get increasing volume for incoming calls.
P.S.: I noticed something funny: I selected a ringtone from DoubleTwist playlist using Rings Extended. When I got an incoming call, I listened to a "hidden ringtone" which is similar to the digital phone ringtone. Probably Rings Extended failed to pick a mp3 from DoubleTwist and my phone used a "fallback ringtone" (such as the Nokia Tune when you remove an sd card with your ringtone). I think it's called "832" but I can't find it anywhere!
Sigh the increasing ringer is pretty lame.
Should be optional.
still no fix huh...

Normally when I receive an email or a text message. WM5 allows me to get a sound alarm and a visual pop up notification. The problem is that the sound only happens once on initial receiving of the message. And if I am not around the device I would miss the sound alarm. And if I dont open up the device to see if any messages are there I would not read them for a long period. The light flashing is not covering my needs.
What I would like to do is..
When initial message received ( text or email only , not phone ) from a particular sender, have the device play the standard receiving sound, then assuming I missed the initial arriving alarms every 5 minutes after receiving the message play a another ( different WAV ) to say message received but not yet opened or viewed. This reminder alarm would stop one either opening of message or by myself turning it off.
Or can one do this in WM5 that I have not yet worked out.
Any ideas
Should have done more searching on google
I found this little tool : http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Looks goog, can any one pass comments on it.
Pocket Max Alarm is a good tool for alarms, reminders or waking up to your choice of music as your alarm sound.
However, I dont believe it affects phone related sounds. Therefore I would suggest your best option may be to play around in Settings > Sounds and Notifications. Perhaps try the flashing light option? It seems to be a professional way of letting you know you have something to look at on your phone.
Anyway just a suggestion hope something works out.

This product does exactly what it sounds it should do.
It provides profiles so you can store all settings vol,sound,backlight etc
and provides repeating alarms for "phone notifications" ie sms/mms/email/missed/voice calls etc.
It does not alter the normal notification sounds like calender or task alarms for that you need their other product called alarm today (i think its called)
Matt
Yep your exactly right I was thinking of Alarm today. My bad, problem solved thread and case closed.
My M5000 rings alarmonly once, can I change in somewhere to repeat? so far didn't find place. In my Tornado I found this place.

Selected
Still don´t repeat
mmm... strange...
I remember I saw a thread regarding a nice program in Dev & hack section
Try a search with "alarm"
Hope it helps,
I don't know about all of you, but i've setup my VC 1.6 to call out names when the phone rings and to read messages as and when they arrive. I love that it can do all those things.
Problem: Sometimes when i'm in the vicinity of a lot of people it's undesireable for VC to start reading out stuff, especially when you get a dirty joke, or when you don't want the person sitting next to you to know who is calling.
In such instances, I'd like my phone to ring and give me an audible alert for messaging services, but not have them read out. The only way I can avoid this is by going into VC options and disabling the ANNOUNCEMENT feature or put the phone in Silent Mode.
I was wondering if there is any Profile Manager with support for VC 1.6 wherein I can adjust profiles to either include or exclude the VC Announcements without having to turn off the audible ringer.

WinMobileApps Phone Profiles v2.0(http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm.aspx) allows you to set System Volume, Ring Volume, and Phone Speaker volume separately for each profile - that might be all you need. But it also can run a program command line, so if you can turn the ANNOUNCEMENT feature on and off with a command line parameter then that could accomplish what you want in a really slick fashion.
Unfortunately you only get 2 active profiles in the demo version - to get all 9 profiles activated you have to purchase. It costs 14.95 Euros, which I think is a little steep for a small program, compared for example with PocketZenPhone which is only 8 Euros - but this is also the only program I've seen that can toggle Bluetooth and WiFi as well.
As it happens, I have been doing a lot of hunting lately, looking for the best phone profile program for my needs. I looked at 1) version 1.2 of Phone Profiles (which you can get for free from MoDaCo still - any other Google search for v1.2 takes you to WinMobileApps.com, where you can now only get v2.0) - nice one line today insert, works well with D-Pad, but can't control System Volume and Ring Volume separately and doesn't have Wi-Fi toggle; 2) cs[1].PhoneProfiles; 3) PocketZenPhone; 4) Phone Profiles v2.0 which I've described above - and I think is the best.
Yeah, I personally use Phone Profiles. I think it's the best out there. Light and easy.
Guess I now need to find command line parameters to disable and enable Voice Command Announcements.
Hope somebody here can throw some light on the subject.
Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it
Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!
If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).
Hi,
"Why have a less loud ringtone?"
Many of you would ask yourself this question right now (the devs do so too; did not found a single app for that).
The answer is pretty simple. When using StockDroid the smallest ringtone volume is "1/7". When the phone is used as an alarm clock it is usually put anywhere near the bed.
Incoming mails and chats are way too loud, if you want to sleep.
It is also very disturbing in the office where you do not want to get the attention of the whole room.
So is there any possibility to lower the rintone volume (maybe by rise the resolution of the slider -> instead of 7 steps 40)?
Thanks for ideas!

Hi,
Try making a sound recording of the vibration sound of your phone.
Then, use that as your ringtone.
Hi,
thanks for your - not so serious - Idea.
I prefer an "out-of-the-box" app with no modification to the ringtones like editing with audacity or others..
So I am pretty ecstatic over all with the performance of my Moto X pure, and a little impressed by the moto voice command function. I can access just about everything on the phone by voice alone, except there's one problem. Everytime the phone understands one of my commands, it responds with a very loud and obnoxious sounding "bloing!"
I can even tolerate the robotic voice of the Moto lady, who sounds like my 3rd grade teacher, but the response sound is just too much. Does anybody know what folder it is in so I can nuke it, or is there a way to turn that sound off.? I looked in the media files, and in the notification files, of both the phone and the SD card, looking for a matching sound but did not find it there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The response chime is connected to the media volume control. Keeping the media volume down has helped me a bit but it's still no fun. Also, I've noticed that it uses the old Google Now sounds so when I initiate a search it gives a loud "old GNow" confirmation then a more pleasant "new GNow" tone. If I could at very least do away with the double confirm, I'd be happy.
I wonder what would happen if we found the folder containing that sound and nuked the file.
do you know what the actual file name for that sound is?
Anybody here have a better idea?
Thanks

My question is how else would you know the phone is responding to your commands. For example if your phone is across the room.

I don't know, every other function in android seems to have both visual, and audio option.
They could just have a flashing screen,, the problem is, when I want to use Moto X voice, that sound, is way louder, then most of the other confirmation sounds used in speech to text conversion. If you turn the media volume down, the female voice is reduced in volume along with the confirmation sound.
Or they could just have an option, like most of the other audio in android, that allows me to choose a sound.
Which brings me, to my quest. Or question
if it is a regular audio file, or a .ogg or MP3 or MP4, I should be allowed to go to the containing folder, and simply drop in an audio file of the same kind into that folder, right?
Anyway the "bloing" is annoying, has no individual volume control, and makes me look like less than the coolest kid on the block, which is what I so desperately crave, which is why I spent so much money to buy the coolest gear.
Please help my quest for coolness
From previous experience, sometimes these sound files are inside the apk file itself. Really no way to change or get rid of it unless you start decompiling them, remove/add your own file. Samsung used to do it with their screen unlock sounds. Looked forever in folders and found nothing. One day while searching inside the apk, found it. Just a bit of help to maybe help your search
