When I am in a call, usually to my other half, I use the jog wheel to adjust the in call volume and the volume level varies depending on the person I speaking to, I adjust it the volume to the lowest setting during the call yet her voice still takes my head off.
Is this a problem with the phone in that the in call volume can't be set below a certain level or does my girlfriend talk freakishly loud.
Either way I am going to lose the hearing in my right ear if there isn't a fix to this. Either gagging her or a ROM update/Registry setting to change.
I have a Vario III.
Anyone else suffer from this?
Some calls for me are Freakishly loud some are barely audible on the highest setting. I sometimes get calls that have background noise that kills me and even on the lowest setting it doesn't help to stop the high pinched squealing. This phone acts weird about the volume the lowest setting is not very quiet like you say.

I have the same, but thats not my phone problem.
This is rediculous.. but apparently winmo doesnt allow you to play music while the phone is set to vibrate...
Is there any way I can get around this?
I dont want my phone ringing in the middle of class, and I dont want to risk forgetting to switch my phone back into vibrate after i finish listening to music.
In all honesty i dont see how this will be possible. I understand your issue however the X1 is effectively cutting off all sound from the unit, pretty much like hitting MUTE on your desktop/laptop master. I could understand if third party software could get around this but i just tested out youtube player for example and good as gold it cut the sound right off whilst on vibrate.
I dont think there will be a solution for this to be honest...i hope im proven wrong though, sure there will be a genius on here with an answer
Maybe I really am just asking for too much. But all of my previous feature phones allowed playback through headphones in vibrate mode. And if no headphones were plugged in, the device asked if I wanted to continue and playback music through the speakers anyway (while keeping vibrate mode active).
i may be a bit confused about your question.
im not sure but your phone shouldnt ring on your phone outlet speaker with headset plugged in.
i guess you can make a null ring tone....
I noticed this the other day in class also. I put my phone on silent and went to the music player and it wouldn’t give any sound to the headphone, the only way was to put the volume back up but this meaning if any one text or rang your phone the class would all hear.
I hope there is a solution for this
one fix is in the volume setting ( the one that pops up when you press volume up or down), turn the phone setting all the way down... you wont hear your phone ring but you can still play music.
another way is to just set the phone ring setting to just vibrate mode only. (haven tried it tho yet as no need for me too but just trying to offer solutions). lots of options in the setting, sound notification menu.
it might not be a one touch solution but i think it can be set up to the way you want it too.
I dont have a solution but I gotta ask... listening to music in class???? At the risk of sounding old fogeyish (I cant believe the spell checker let that word through) shouldnt you be listening to the teacher/lecturer?
Wait, can't you put the ringer on vibrate, but keep the system sound on? That's what I would do. I use the touch audio control so when I use the volume rocker I can switch between ringer and sytem.

No no you missed the point.
I'd listen to music on the way to school. Then I'd turn off the bluetooth once i was done listening. Heres is the problem, once i turned off the bluetooth headset i use, the phone returns to normal sound mode, and is free to ring during class if I forget to switch it back to vibrate.
And I guess I could just manually switch everything to vibrate, but on the weekends I like being able to hear my phone ring.
I'll just have to change the phone to and from vibrate mode when i listen to music I guess...
Why don't you set the ring volume to 0% (don't press silent or vibrate, just set the ring volume down) and leave the system volume where you want it?
Works without problems here.

Does setting ring volume to 0% make the phone vibrate?
Cause not hearing any ringing or getting any vibrating might be just as bad XD
Shadowdh, I was being a bit vague/mixed up, so the fault is mine. No need for apologies

dude you haven't even tried it and yet you already commented on it .heh
the answer is NO it doesn't set to vibrate not just yet. if you click you're speaker icon on your top left screen(almost) it will pop you up a volume panel which consist of left: the system sound and the right: the phone speaker sound consists of six levels each top most being the highest and bottom being 0%. then below a setting of 3 radio buttons for ON, VIBRATE, and OFF.
now setting the right slider to bottom most and setting the left slider on top most gives you full system sound but 0% phone speaker sound. the radio button is autonatically still at ON and not VIBRATE by then. that is your only choice so far.
another problem afterwhich is, you won't hear any phone ring whenever someone calls you up even through your earpiece. that's just darn. I guess it's just a winmo device problem aprt from your previous phones. SEs I guess.
things SE didn't consider to take a look coz SE people lifestyles are music, camera,and or business and or both.
one more thing, when you turn your volume maxed up. you phone will ring even when the earpiece is plug. there's just no setting to turn it off. I mean for silent users who lstens to music by earphones, most of the time they like it that the speakers are just off and every sound just goes by the earphones. There is simply no setting for that.
in previous model of SE's whenever you plug an earpiece and the phone recognizes it. the phone automatically turns to headphone mode, which utilizes only the earphone as the source of sound and nothing else UNLESS specified in the settings. there has been an issue that users forget to unplug their earpieces that they misses x number of calls the whole night while their phone vibrate silently on their bags or table with their earpieces plug. That is the reaon SEs newer models after k750i I think coz I got a k750 and a w800i which is consecutively released. the w800i and so forth features a earphone mode setting but their phone speakers still rings as well as sounds when an sms goes in even if the earpieces are plugged, without a setting to disable it.
It just the way it is, and some people still need that feature. Like me. I don't want people to hear my phone ringing in public places like a market, street at dawn or related areas. Whenever I wanted to listen to music when someone calls, send an sms, the phone just simply sounds off, publicly.
Another comment/workaround a read is a null tone. Might work, but you have to manually set a null tone for calls, as well as for SMS. without any automation like a uh NULL profile perhaps.

I've set my phone to always ring AND vibrate on incoming calls (so I recognize incoming calls even if the music in my living room is very loud ). So if I decrease the ring volume to 0% it does vibrate.
this is like saying i wanna close my eyes and still be able to see something.
As a more lateral solution, have you tried using something like SPB Phone Suite to set either manual or time based profiles?
I'm thinking you could have something like a travelling profile with bluetooth on and sound on and a school one with the phone/system on vibrate and bluetooth off. You could then either change manually with two clicks of the home screen or have it change automatically dependant upon time.
ill always use flightmode! easy and safe...

the problem I encounter here is that phone calls are muted and it's great, but it will still ring through the speaker if an sms is received
any solutions?
this makes it impossible to listen to music at quieter (and most usually boring) places!
Possible Solution
I'm not sure if this works on the ROM you're using, but I'm using Touch-IT 3.5 and it allows me to automatically put the phone on vibrate during appointments.
You could set your classes as appointments and not need to worry about it from then on.
Is there a setting (that I can't seem to find so far) or an app that lowers the ring volume when I have earphones plugged in?
Right now when I'm listening to music with earphones and then some one calls the phone blasts the ringtone into my ears causing quite a bit of shock
i shall bump...
... Bump again because my ears have been blasted
has anyone had any problems with the ringtone volumne on the HD7, and if so were you able to increase the volumne
There is a problem in that the volume is quite low. The way I got around it was to put on my own ringtones, which I recorded at a higher volume, using chevron ringtone manager. Did the same for some alerts and alarms and now I can hear my phone in nearly all noisy environments.
Hi,
I have the same problems. Mine is very quiet, barely audible. The rest is OK. Maybe there is software problem but I do not thing so. After change ROM nothing has improved.
I've tried chevron but it doesnt work. i cant get ringtones
Hey All,
Does anyone else have an issue while during a phone call if you witch to speakerphone the volume stays low?
It gets barely louder when I flip it off handset volume to speaker. This didn't always happen, maybe over the past month or 2. I've got all updates, I've reset the phone, not sure if it does it in the middle of a call of if it happens right away as I mostly notice it when I set my phone down mid call and flip to speaker ... I crank the volume, the speaker does change but it's very quiet.
At a loss on what to do here, I've gone through all the volume settings while on call and nothing makes it louder when on speaker so unfortunately end up flipping back to in call so I can hear the other person.
