The system sounds seem to be very low. I can barely hear the lock and unlock sounds. These sounds are turned on by default. Anyone else experiencing this?
Touch sound
I returned a phone this week to O2 for the same reason thought there was a fault got a replacement and it is exactly the same no distinguishable sound from the screen when i tap it spoke to HTC tech support and there is no fault there is no way of increasing the sound level.They said that they wold raise the issue with the developers to see if it could be changed in the next Rom
Hi All,
My wife's i9305 has a really weird issue which goes like this:
Ringtones are silent - this includes when the phone is being called and selecting ringtones out of the menu
Notification sounds are silent - this includes messages received and selecting sounds manually
Youtube and other media apps work on loudspeaker without issue
Phone loudspeaker works
Normal UI clicks and sounds work fine. Includes the swipe to unlock and volume up and down beeps
I originally thought this was some kind of weird software issue as all the settings seemed fine and it was running an older version of CM10.
So I decided I'd completely nuke the phone and start from scratch with a new KK CM11 build - something I've done a thousand times before.
With the phone completely reset to default the issue is still apparent.
Without knowing too much about the hardware, is there perhaps a different speaker for the ringtones and notifications? If not, then this issue is pretty odd is it not?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated - at least before I attempt to order a replacement loudspeaker part.
Cheers,
Jordan.
*bump* - I take it that everyone is just as perplexed as I am then...
Update: Notification sounds do work OK - However when you select them manually they dont.
Does anyone know how to turn off the increasing volume for the ringtone, i just want it full at first ring

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.....
ok, so i recommended the mini 2 to my dear friend, and she has been super happy with it, but two days after she bought it, all the sounds magically dissapeared, no notification sound, no incoming call alert, no music player sound. but the speakers aren't broken, she does have in-call sounds... so i've been googling, and on some blog or something i heard that if you toggle the fast boot option off in the settings>power menu, and reboot the device, the sound will be back.. aaaand it worked! wich is great, and it's not that she needs the fastboot option on, but this bugs me more than her! it is an official rom, it's a new phone, what's with the no sound thing? why can't one have fast boot AND sound at the same time... most people would return the device instantly... and since i have managed to find the solution on the web, it is a common problem!?
this looks to me like a temporary fix, is there any way to make sound work with fastboot on?

Fastboot is meant to be something that isn't given much importance. Which is why it has always been in the shadows after a small stint in the press in the Froyo days(it was made quite a huge deal by HTC at that time). And since it is not native to Android, being an HTC-only feature, it is bound to cause problems. Although it doesn't mention now, previous versions of Sense warned that there will be some problems regarding apps and stuff.
I had it on for sometime but I had not come across such a problem, this could be because of conflicts with certain apps.
So, sometime last week my speakers started being super quiet. I can hardly hear a call/video call on speaker. The notifications are super quiet too. However, music seems to play at a decent volume. Anyone else having this issue?
Haven't seen or heard of this. Are you unlocked and or rooted? That your music plays somewhat normally is hopeful. If you already maxed out the volume for call, ring, notification and alarm. I would try to reset app settings under Setup>>Reset options. If this doesn't work, wait until the Feb. image comes out and dirty flash that. If that doesn't work clean flash it (wiping data).
