Hi, is there a way to increase the ring volume of the HD7? My wife has her volume set to 10, and when it rings in her purse she can barely hear it. I've tried downloading the HTC app with the "increase volume when in purse" setting but this seems not to help at all. In fact, even at 10 all the sound on this phone is quite low, for example the Netflix app can only be heard in a dead quiet room. For comparison, ithe "10" setting on her HD7 seems to be about the same as "2" on my Dash 3G... All help appreciated. Thank you,

But yes, it seems the speaker is quite low. I think some people think it's a software fault, and it will be fixed in the update. I don't know personally, mine seems loud enough

You keep saying she has it set on 10 when I can set mine to 30? Maybe that's why her 10 seems like a 2 to you?
On the lock screen, up volume up. You should see the volume indicator in the top left. Crank it to 30. Should be plenty loud.
when you are talking on the phone the volume only goes up to 10. however, when you are at the homescreen you can put the volume up to 30.
"In-Call" volume controls the volume of the ear-piece speaker located in the grill at the top of the phone, and yes it will only go up to 10.
The volume which goes up to 30 which you can adjust whilst on the home screen controls the external Speaker located on the back of the phone (which is used for ringtones, etc.)
They are 2 completely seperate speakers so in turn have their own volume controls.
I have my alarm, notification, and ring tones set to one notch above 0 and the alarm still makes me jump out of bed and I jump anytime my phone rings. Does anyone else think their ONE is incredibly loud? I can't imagine setting the volume to anything over 20%.
You can make it noticeably quieter by enabling Beats.
Aside from that, yes, it is a very loud phone by default.
This is going to sound a tad odd, but I think that the lowest volume is not low enough and the highest setting can definitely be higher!
The lower end of the volume should be a tad less. Enough for you to hear it in a quiet room, but not enough to fill up the quiet room (currently the case)
The higher end should drown other devices, but at the current software # version, it only beats other devices by a slight margin...
Think Devs are on this (increasing the max, decreasing the min), but I actually don't have confirmation -- just something that seems logical..
Anyway, hopefully things work themselves out and lower gets lower while higher gets slightly louder =] (maybe add some volume points)

I have heard the original 1.28 version volume levels were substantially higher. I am on 1.29 and they were supposedly reduced on that version. I was looking for a zip somewhere that would just install the 1.28 volume files. I like my music loud and the 1.29 version is not loud enough. When I stream music in my car or to my sound system at home it has plenty of volume because of the amplifiers in those systems.
Nots not the loudness, its the fine control of the volume we'd like to see

The speakers are too loud even on the lowest setting in some quieter situations (night time, alone at home, quiet restaurant, etc). It would be nice if someone can create a mod to allow us to reach even lower volumes. I know I am not the only one with this problem since I've seen a few threads with people of the same problem.
Thanks.

i think there might be a volume steps mod in the themes and app section

That only gave me more steps but the first two or so steps are absolutely silent (problem confirmed in that thread) so I still can't reach those low volumes.

Im curious about this too. I've noticed that it "increases" with everything though; notifications, alarms and even playing youtube videos. I wonder if this is a bug to be fixed at some point.

I don't think it's a bug. It is standard behavior on Moto phones. Although it annoys me too.

Really? Granted, I havent had a Moto phone since the original Atrix but I dont remember it happening on that. I dont necessarily care that it increases on ringtones or alarms, its mostly for maybe a half second. The problem is notification tones that are about half a second long that i dont hear.
I love this feature, I hate sudden loud ringtone.

I agree, I kinda like this feature too. Just some food for thought guys - the speakers on this phone are pretty powerful. The gradual escalating volume might be a measure to ensure that the speakers don't blow out.

I too want first ring to be at the setting I choose, not gradual.

If saving the speakers from blowing might be reason this is done, then why isn't it applied to alarms, youtube etc?

I'm not sure, that's a pretty good question. I might be wrong, but maybe Google assumed that 1) YouTube videos are watched at a user-defined volume anyway, so why mess with it, and 2) there are apps that have volume escalation for alarms, and we'll install them if we want them.
Honestly, I have no idea. All I know it's that 1) there are many times when my ring tone volume was all the way up, and an incoming call would be a shock to me, when it started blaring, and 2) my girlfriend is loud as hell, so it's nice to have my phone controlling the initial volume of her voice, lol.

Considering just about every app that has sound doesn't do this I doubt its to prevent anything.
Most phone besides moto have ascending ringtones etc. I'm sure there will be a way to get rid of it eventually
When the ringtone/alarm/notification starts, does anyone else have a brief, less than half second, slightly louder tone play? It almost sounds like a pop before my ringer starts to fade in, but you can hear it's the beginning of the tone, just slightly louder then it goes quiet, and fades in
Edit: just did a little testing, it doesn't always happen, it seems like I could force it if I opened a game (clash of clans) for a couple seconds, then stopped and locked the phone.. then when the ringer starts it does the brief less than half second at a med-low volume, then goes to low and starts ramping up. The next call the ringer behaves normally, starts at low and ramps up.

yes, i get that sometimes.
ok cool, just got the phone last Wed, and with some of the quality issues that have been popping up, I'm trying to rule out any defects before it's too late lol.. great phone so far, just a few weird quirks like this, hopefully they'll get them ironed out in a timely manner.
I don't mind it on my call ringtone, but it is really annoying with my facebook messenger or my text messages. It also doesn't help that if the notifications aren't full volume then I can't hear anything; because the front facing speakers are always up against my leg in my pocket.
Any word on a work around for this yet?
There is an app in the Play store called "disable increasing ring" and it works great

Tried it, not working on my Rooted, unlocked Nexus 6
Any devlopments? I cant stand this "feature" (mainly for alarms).
bump again. Would love to get rid of it. It even does a gradual volume increase when switching from handset to speakerphone on a call. And that's just silly.
Still no solution to this miserable "feature"? Drives me nuts.....
hi,
it seems that when i play a game \ playing music - but when volume is all the way down,
you can hear the speaker's (especially the top one) "white noise" (like when you turn on a computer speaker but its muted)
when i play the game you can also hear some "cracks" in the white noise (like "ticks")
as i already mentioned - the volume is all the way down
anyone else had this experience?
Do you have any audio mods installed? Or maybe you have faux sound amplified? I haven't got this issue

It has been an issue on many units and there have been threads like this before. No solution thus far other than RMA.
I've had two devices already and they both had this issue, especially on low battery.
I'm hoping for a software fix but I doubt it's software related. However, I ask myself the question, why would it be hardware if it only occurs on low battery?

i have this issue on stock and pure shamu roms when playin clash of clans. doesn't matter if the volume is all the way up or down, or if the brightness is up or down. certain screens in the game cause the noise to be louder. i suspect it's some crosstalk on a audio/gpu circuit in the design and that only people with sensitive hearing in quiet environments are noticing. all game sounds are disabled.

Same for me! In a quiet environment the noise is very noticeable when I play clash of clans an the battery is at around 35% or lower. But only if the battery is running low!
I tried a YouTube video under the same conditions and there was barely a noise.

Do you have AGC (Automatic Gain Control) turned on? If you do, this is likely why. AGC will boost volume automatically as loud as possible to make sure everything is loud throughout. If there is silence, it's boosting the volume of nothing, which produces white noise.
