Why are ringtones quiet when the phone starts ringing?

Whenever I get a call, the ringtone is very quiet for a couple of seconds before suddenly playing at full volume. Increasing volume is disabled, so does anyone know why it does this?

Try checking and unchecking increasing volume a few times in the settings then. If that does not fix the problem you might be able to try wiping all data to do with the phone and sound settings in Settings > Applications..

It was doing it even when new out of the box though, and also when I first installed XXUAMDN, so it's definitely not an app issue or anything. Tried toggling the increasing volume toggle several times too.

you cant, but i dont know if you can when it is rooted

I'm rooted, so if anyone knows then feel free to share!

This S4 is my first Android phone and i was wandering this also as my phone has always done that for about the first 2 seconds which ive found very strange, never found a way to change it either.

I've had several android phones, but this is the first to do it.

My previous note 2 and the wife's s3 don't he same (as well as my s4).
Unsure if it's an android thing or Samsung thing.
I think it's so the phone ringing when your not expecting it doesn't frighten the living daylights out of you!

It's definitely not an android thing, otherwise my previous 3 phones would have all done it too and I'd already have had a 5 year head start on learning how to stop it!

Right, just found it's a Samsung and LG thing. Seems you can edit the secphone.apk if you're rooted, or alternatively you can download an app called "disable increased ring" from the play store. With this app you get a persistent notification that it's running, but then if you go into application manager you can disable notifications for it. I tried the app and it works, no root access or custom rom needed.

Flash Omega or Wanamlite ROMs, they have this "feature" disabled

Thanks, just found an app that disables it anyway. What a stupid "feature".

I have this exact same problem on my s3 mini. So it's deffo a Samsung thing... Thanks for posting different solutions
"Disable Increasing Ring" app works fine so far.

N910G Lollipop 5.1.1 Notification Sound low volume + echo problem

Hello,
Recently bought a new Note 4 N910G grey market from Hong Kong, and want to figure out if the problem I am having is some dumb software problem, or a possible hardware issue I should be worried about.
The Problem:
Notification sounds seemingly randomly echo or play very softly or get cut-off or start halfway through... it's difficult to tell exactly or to tell if it's doing the same thing each time it happens. Often the second sound will be fine and the normal volume. It sometimes sounds like the sound is playing twice at the same time but too soft and out of sync. I may get two Facebook notifications (for example - as far as I can tell it happens to all notifications) and the first will be this odd soft sound (which I believe is the correct sound I have chosen being played, but with either a large echo or something, and far too soft) and then the second one will be totally normal.
I haven't noticed any issues playing audio. Just with notifications. Seems to happen with the screen on or off.
N910G with OTA update to 5.1.1, XSA variant.
My custom notification sounds are on external sd card, but I think it's happened to some that aren't as well - like the inbuilt Skype sound which I can't change.
Anyone else have this problem? Does it sound like software, or hardware? Any idea how to troubleshoot or fix it?
Thanks heaps.

No one?

OnePlus 5 not ringing on incoming calls.

Hello, i've a problem with my Oneplus 5. Most of the time I get phone calls, the screen lights up and let me know that someone is calling, but there is no sound.
Slider is in ring position. The speakers are fine. Music etc. works great. Its really annoying, i miss so many important calls. Any solutions?

It sounds strange, but did you set a ringtone and check if it's working in ringtone settings and also the volume of ringtone isn't too low?

This issue doesn't happen always. Sometimes it will ring. Sometimes it will not. without changing any settings.
Sometimes changing the Alert Slider to Silent position and bringing it back to Ring Mode helps.

? Everytime or not?
Please give also information about your rom, gapps version, additional mods and apps. Bootloader unlocked and magisk installed?
Have you tried to clean install the rom?

Not everytime. Most of the time it happens like that. 6 out of 10 times.
Phone is not rooted. Bootloader is not unlocked.
Android version: 8.0.0
oxygen version: 5.0.2

Any suggestions? i have seen many OP5 users facing the same problem and complaining in oneplus forums. Looks like they are deleting many of the threads related to this issue.
Anyone else faced the similar issue here ?

Me too, it only gets solved with a restart. Totally stock OB5.
Its known in OP forums, I hope it gets solved in next releases.

I have that issue too, but probably happens with Whatsapp messages. And yes, the only fix seems to be a restart. I've noticed this starts happening after a couple days of no restart. Cheers!

Its a known bug, you can solve *temporarily* by setting a preinstalled ringtone. This bug happens only when you set a custom ringtone.

This was a known bug for oneplus 5. They released a new update to fix this.
Not sure whether it is same for oneplus 6

I recently updated to 5.1.5 and the no ring problem started for me (

Notification sound bug

Does anybody face this bug" notification sound automatically go into the vibration mode,restart to get everything back to normal"??i tried cear partition cache but didn't help this method..help plz

I also have the same issue. In my case, notification sound or ring comes from earpiece speaker instead of main speaker so it's too low to be heard. Not sure about the root cause. Reboot definitely helps but quick way to fix it is to call any number(like 111) and hang up after putting it on speaker. Is anyone else facing the same issue?

I can confirm that notification/call ringtone goes silent automatically in v323 also. DND is not activated and no power saving module/mod is enabled. This is an annoying bug and frequently causes me to miss important calls and notifications

Same here.

I solved my problem this way..i dont know if it will work for you friends..
Step 1 download the zedge app from playstore
Step 2 download the htc reactive notification tone
Step 3 set it via phone setting but select zedge app
I dont have the call ringtone problem i set "RING 1"
check it guys ..and tell me if it is working or not?
Thanks. sorry for bad english!

Didn't work for me. Do you guys have any smartwatch connected via Bluetooth? I do and may be it is the root cause of this issue?

I think this issue definitely has something to do with Samsung gear S3. Whenever I turn off and back on the Bluetooth, issue appears to be gone for few hours.

Guys i think the new 326 update fixed this issue..whats say?

I still have this issue but it's not so frequent now. It comes back in 2-3 days after reboot.

Issue is there. Randomly no notification. 326

I experience it too. But in my case, I don't have to restart the phone, only turn it back to ring mode works to fix it although only temporarily.
It happens randomly, if I'm not using my phone for about 15 minutes, not always happen but randomly, occasionally happen.
I don't have any smartwatch apps or alike installed, but I'll check for other apps that might causing it.
I wish whether it's a bug from Asus or mistake from my side, it can be fixed somehow, because it's annoying.
Still looking for the solution.
=========
UPDATE: SOLVED (A long ago actually, sorry I just write this now)
An app caused it. It has to do with timer and notification sound triggering at some preset times a day.
After I uninstall the app, all is OK.

Hey guys, I am too facing the issue. But root cause seems to be this.. When I open any app that gives some audio output, n I immediately try to reduce the volume. Somehow the ringer volume also goes down along with media. N after this whenever I press the volume rocker, it doesn't work on ringer volume but on media volume. Once I restart it works fine but same thing repeats if I do what I mentioned.

Hi guys anyone experience after the update or Android become Android 8.0 my phone do not have signal anymore

ringtones and notifications revert to default after oxygen update?

has anyone else experienced this?
at first I would randomly have *no* ringtone or notification sounds selected, and if I went to change them, there wouldn't even be any options. I found one thread from a month or so ago that said to boot recovery and clear cache. that added the options back and set everything to default.
the problem I am running into now, is every so often, sometimes after a reboot, sometimes quite randomly, my ringtone and notifications are set back to default (which are not loud enough for me).

Had the same issue after update. Setup some new notification sounds and ran with it. Never tried clearing or getting them back though ?
