Hi everybody,
I have bought LG GT540 Optimus few days ago. Everything works fine except the volume of ringtone. I have set the volume on 100%, but the sound is still quietly. So I can't capture when somebody is calling. I've read couple posts about this problem on another forum, but nobody have solution. Any idea ???
/Sorry, for my bad english/
it is a qquiet phone. tha'ts it.
you can flash SwiftDroid7, and than you'll have some limited sound options in cyanogen settings, but nothing spectacular. don't get your hopes up.
put it in a near-body pocket and feel the vibe(rator)
I have noticed that when I get an incoming call the ringing volume starts off low and then after the 1st or 2nd ring it jumps up to full volume (or the volume I have set it to). It's like as if the ringing volume has been set to ascending.
I have tried it with different ringtones but it's always the same result.
It is a little annoying and I'm not sure if its a bug or not as I can't seem to find anything in the settings to adjust this.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to correct or change it?
Thanks.
I do not have this problem.
But i use one of the preinstalled ringtones.
Maybe it has something to do with it.
But i looked in the settings and did not find any options regarding the increasing volume (know that option from my old w850i sony ericsson)
I have tried it with the preinstalled ringtones as well but I still get the same problem.
Yeah my old nokia's used to have an option for ascending ringtone but I can't find anything like that. Might have to do a factory reset and see if that fixes anything.
You know what?
I've got the same problem.
had a ringtone that got kinds louder in the first 2 seconds so i did not hear that the volume was increasing.(had pegasus)
But with another ringtone i can hear that increasing volume too.
weird :S
Same here.
Sent from galaxy S 2 using xda app

Have any of you lot downloaded additional ringtones from 3rd party apps like zedge?
I'm wondering they could've caused it, cos it definitely seems like a software issue as oppose to a hardware issue.
I'm going to do a factory reset on my phone and wipe it completely and see what happens.
I posted this a while back, but the Mods kept moving it to Q&A. We need the phone.apk modified so the increasing ringer effect is removed. This is stock behavior with all Samsung phones, including the SGS.

So are you saying that this is normal behaviour? and that everyone's SGS2 will have this issue?
I just did a full wipe and factory reset and it didn't resolve anything
My S2 act the same, i've uploaded the song from kies.
It's a bit annoying.
Okay I think that cmd512 was right, it seems to be a feature of samsung phones, one which apparently we can't change without rooting the device. Looks like I wiped my phone for no reason, great!!
Here's some other links I've found regarding this issue on the original SGS...

Can other users just confirm if their device acts in the same way or not? Thanks.
I noticed this my 1st call or so (3 weeks ago). I assume this is done by Samsung purposely to give users a chance to silence the ringer before it disturbs something/someone (meeting, conference, library, etc.)
If you check motion in Settings, you will see that there is an option to articles silence sounds by turning the phone over. I assume the ringer starts low, then increases to allow the users time to silence the phone before reaching max volume.

Yeah I thought it might be something like that too but you'd think samsung would at least put an option in the settings to let the user choose if they wanted it or not ... or even put a note about it somewhere so people like me wouldn't think its a problem with their phone and format their device for no reason lol
This is absolutely normal, was the same on the SGS. The only way is to decompile phone.apk and change one of the settings. If you search "non-increasing ringer phone.apk" for the SGS, you will see tons of posts with this file. Once you push the new phone.apk over, it will get rid of the increasing ringer effect.
Unfortunately, when I tried to decompile phone.apk, I got errors. If I can get a deodexed version of phone.apk from KE7, I can modify it accordingly.
'Feature'
Confirmed - It is standard stock behavior and I hate it.. lol.
Coming from the captivate where I ran i900 modded roms they would have ascending ringers until some dev modded it to not..
having the same problem here

Disable Increasing Ring is the best app that can fix Ringer Volume starts off low issue
I recently bought the 6p after coming from a Galaxy Note 3. I honestly upgraded to the 6p because I wanted to use Android pay so I have no interest in rooting the device.
Here are the main issues I am having with the 6p so far, I am curious to see if anyone else has these problems and if they found a fix or app that will fix the issues.
1. In call volume is extremely low compared to my Note 3 and there are times when I struggle to make out what the other party is saying. Speaker phone volume is great. I know I can root to fix this problem but I don't want to do that. Is there an app that will boost call volume?
2. I am also having a problem setting ring tones and notification tones. I can set them and they seem to work for a short time and then they basically change on their own. This is strange to me as I have never had this happen with a smart phone. I have done a factory reset but it didnt help.
Hello friends! I really hope someone can help me with this issue. My mother has my old Samsung Note 3. For the last couple of weeks anytime she gets a text message the message notification tone plays but so does her incoming call ringtone. On top of that, the call ringtone won't stop playing. We can put the phone on silent but the ringtone won't actually stop until she restarts the phone.
A little background: I had the phone maybe a year before the note 4 came out and I immediately upgraded so she's had the phone I guess maybe two years. My phone was on Verizon. My mom has T-Mobile prepaid service. We've never had any problems until this. Well because she has prepaid she uses a Wi-Fi texting app called TextPlus or something like that. Again never any problems until a couple weeks ago. I asked her if she updated anything, I've checked all of her settings in the phone and the app. I even set the call ringtone to silent and sent a text and it still did it. It's not so much the ringtone as it is that it won't stop. We've even left it sitting for over an hour and it was still ringing.
What can I do to try to fix this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
1. Custom ringtones disappear every 1 to 2 days and have to be re-associated. I keep my phone holstered when I'm not at my desk. I like to know who's calling before I answer. Yesterday, was the 3rd time in a week that my ringtones all went to default.
2. Sound on alarms disappears on a regular basis. I had to add vibration to the alarms as backup.
3. Similar to another thread about sound. When I play music on the shower speaker, it gets garbled after ~10 minutes.
I hope that the Samsung devs look at these Forums because I've encountered a bunch of clueless Samsung phone support agents!
