Hello everyone, I hope you can help me.
I have the Motorola Moto G 5in European version. The phone is completely stock, with developer mode enabled, but with no other modifications. I find that the notification tones, such as Facebook alerts, are ascending in volume. This is fine for ringtones, as the phone will ring until I answer it, or until the caller cuts off; giving me a chance to respond. However, alert tones are shorter, so I don't hear them, due to the ascending volume. This causes me to miss alerts. Is there a way to disable the ascending part of the tone, and just have it as a standard volume throughout? My understanding of this is that it is set by Motorola due to the phone having twin speakers at the front. However, if my phone is in my pocket, handbag, etc, I can't hear the tones. Can anyone advise me on this, or will the upcoming Lollipop update sort this out? I am reluctant to root and mod the phone, as I've only had it a few days. I will do so if there is a way of fixing the problem. I have rooted phones and tablets previously, so I understand the principles, although I haven't looked at methods for this particular handset.

I have had this issue ever since I bought my Vivid and am surprised that I don't find references to it on this forum: the Skype notification "bloop" is tied to the notification volume, with is also tied to the ringer volume.
The only way I can actually hear the "bloop" is by turning up the ringer to the point where it's jarring. On my ASUS tablet (no ringer, mind you), none of the volume sliders are tied to one another. Also, I've seen numerous posts from users attempting to link the two together, but not the other way around.
Why are they like that on the Vivid?
By the way, I had this issue with the stock ROM, and now also with the PACman ROM.
Oh, and the notification for sms is fine; I can hear it no problem.
I have had my Z3c about 6 weeks (US- AT&T) and I really enjoy everything about this phone. However, recently the phone quit ringing audibly when I have an incoming call. When I get a call, the screen comes on and shows that I have a call, the phone vibrates like it always does and the LED flashes bright white. But no sound, no ringtone. Actually - a very quiet ringtone, like through the small phone receiver speaker maybe. All other notifications sound out normally: SMS, email, alarms all work fine. Speakerphone works fine. Only incoming calls have no ring volume. Of course, I have checked the volume settings and have the ringtone & notifications volume slider wide open. I have changed ringtones, adjusted every sound and volume setting on the phone to no effect. I turned 'OK Google' off since I have read that in listening mode, OK Google can impact speaker output. Nothing had any effect. I have searched across the internet and haven't found any answer and no one mentioning this issue with the Z3c.
I did find that the exact same issue happened with the Z1 and Z1c when they got the KitKat update in early 2014 (http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-fix-coming-xperia-kitkat-audio-bug ) but i don't find any resolution discussed so I expect that Sony fixed that with an update.
My next step is a hard reset but I can't do that before the weekend so I thought I would throw this out to see if anyone else has the issue or - better yet - a solution.
One thing I am going to try is the stereo sound mod for the Z2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/z2-stereo-sound-mod-incoming-calls-t2921840 ) if the hard reset doesn't work.
EDIT: 10/30/14 - I continued to try different things with the no-ring-volume issue. I took the time today and did a factory reset including erasing internal storage but that didn't help. In addition to what I described above I found the following:
- on an incoming call, the speakerphone does not work. If I turn on speakerphone, the caller can hear me but I cannot hear them. If I turn off speakerphone, everything is fine (I hear the caller in the earpiece, they hear me).
- I have LED set to off so it should not come on except for charging. But it flashes - fast and bright white - on an incoming call. This may not be part of the issue but I have never seen it flash before on incoming call. Maybe I notice it now since I have been staring at my phone while making dozens of calls to myself from another phone to figure this out.
- External speakers do work fine, I can play music, video, etc. and it all sounds fine.
So...any ideas?
I would try setting it back to a default ringtone. It may be having an issue with the one you are using. This is assuming your issuing a custom ringtone.
CollinsJ - Thanks for the response but I have tried many of the ringtones, including the default. I was actually using the default ringtone when the problem started. I am going to edit the original post to include a few more things I learned today related to this problem.
Maybe it's time to take it in for repair.
I have the same problem with my Z3, did you find a solution for that??
z3 sound
Same here. i downgraded to kitkat, no effect.
on sony forum there is a ton of people with this issue.
I got Z3 dual, incoming ringtone volume is terrible and speakerphone volume is lower than speaker for ear.
I rooted but i found no patch to fix it.
Viper4Android doesnt help
Any ideas?
Hi,
I have a Z1 which had similar problem, phone would not ring when there was an incoming call. Tried setting to default ringtone, which didn't work.
The second thing I tried was restart the phone in safe mode, and tested it, and got the incoming call ring. After that I restarted normally and it is now working. Don't exactly know what it did but it works now.
Press volume key up then choose sound. Sometimes it has been set to priority.
It worked for me!

Thank you. I restarted my phone in safe mode, like you said, and all works fine.
I have had my phone 2 years and yesterday it stopped ringing and the alarm doesn't ring either, help please
No ring sound volume on incoming call
hi Lynne rickaby, have you solved the F...k issue with the incoming sound tone?
I have an sony xperia z3+
I bought xperia st26i phone. incoming call appear, can answer, but ringing sounds not comes out. vibration also work. when i play a media file, it plays. but sound not come out. i successfully make the factory setting function also to settle it. but all my effort going vain. how to solve it. please help me
One of my gripes with the Nexus 6 is the fact that whenever my phone rings it does so in an escalating fashion. Rather than ringing at full volume like a normal device it goes from a low volume and slowly picks up to the loud volume. The same happens with Voice Calls as well on Speaker and it is very frustrating.
Is there anyway I can disable this? Perhaps a mod to disable this system so I can have regular full volume rather than escalating volume? I keep almost missing phone calls due to this, and voice calls have been redundantly frustrating.
I was wondering the same thing!
Hopeful that there will be a rom / kernel that will change this. IIRC, Seems like I remember a tweak on some of the Gnex ones that did it.
I use a app called "Disable Increasing Ring" on my Samsung Note 2.
Don't know if it is working for Nexus 6... (don't have one, but want one)
It's in the Play store

Headset to speaker phone
The volume also does the ascending thing from headset to speaker phone which I'm not really a fan of.
the app
Worked briefly on the Nexus 6 then stopped
Any new info on this going to try the app described above and see if it works for me.
I just purchased a Moto G (Global, Dual SIM) model. When I get a call the ringtone (any ringtone, including custom ringtones) ring very soft for one ring, then they ring normal volume for a single ring, the it continues very, very quietly. Its not ascending, its soft for a single ring, normal volume for a single ring, then continues very softly.
And when I mean quite, I very I am alone in my office in the evening with no outside noise and its very quite. It will be unusable during the day.
I have read on XDA people having issues with ringtone sounds. These sounds are intolerable for me. It makes the phone unusable
Is there any fix, or anything I can try?
I have tried equalizer apps, different tones, increasing the loudness on my mp3 ringtone (by 10x), but nothing helps. Vibrate on or off when rining makes not difference.
Many thanks

Sadly not. I am not in any way opposed to rooting phones, my primary phone is rooted, but this phone cannot be for a number of reasons

idk then, the only advice i can think to give you is to uninstall any apps you may have installed near the time this started happening and see if thet solves it.

Although it may not help you (being so long afterward), my solution to this problem was to create a long ringtone. Essentially, I found that, if the ringtone was shorter than the time it took to reach full volume, the second ring started off at minimal volume as well. By editing the file and making it 7 rings long in a single file, the ascending volume reached full volume and stayed there for the rest of the ringtone (6 more rings).
Hopefully this can help you (and any others who might come looking for a solution).
Hello All,
I am in desperate need of help. Yesterday whilst in a business call my in-call volume all of a sudden dropped so that i could barley hear the person on the other end of the line. the volumes were all set to make and I had to end up going to a quite room and using the loud speaker to ever hear a thing.
I know there are similar posts, but none have solutions for this problem yet. I have contacted sony but they say there is nothing i can unless I update to lollipop. As i am on a business trip, I cannot update my phone manually as I would lose everything. All other sounds are fine, notifications, alarms, ringtone. it is only the in call volume.
the phone is rooted with locked boot loader if this helps in any way
Any help is much appreciated
