6230i - incorrectly ascending ringing volume / bad...

Dear Nokia,
There are two main problems with the 6230i phone, which have been making my life hell!
1) This has been discussed on numerous posts in the forum - the fact that even on level 5, constant ringing - the phone will ascend.
I understand this is to protect ears, but in the majority of cases it just plainly annoys people - myself included - who miss calls and texts because the phone is not ringing loud, like it has been set to!
Please include an option to turn this on or off in the next firmware update. It is a horrible new feature to Nokia phones.
2) Secondly, what is going on with the new T9 text method? An asterix appears instead of letters which makes it difficult to do 'x'. Also when putting an ' 's ' it changes the word that apostrophe is attached to, similarly when using question marks etc. Please sort this and make the T9 behaviour similar to previous Nokia phones, which worked a treat.
Regards,
Jon Gapes.

djjay, you would be better off contacting nokia with your comments on the 6230i, this forum is mainly user support between nokia owners like you and me.
when it comes to the ascending ringtone, you are correct in saying it has been discussed before - but these discussions also contain the soloution. you need a firmware upgrade.
as for t9, no idea not seen this before on any of the series 40 phones like 6230i, but probably the best way to let nokia know how you fell is to call them or email them...

6230i ringing volume, display blinking

I have a 6230i what was updated from 3.30 to 3.40, but I still have the problems.
First, my phone changes the ringing volume spontaneously. It's very disappointing because sometimes I can't hear when somebody call me.
I always use the Outdoor profile where ringing volume is set to level 4.
Second, the display spontaneously starts to light.
Is there a newer software release which can solve this problem or do you have any idea?

It sounds like the ridiculous feature that Nokia have introduced that makes the phone volume ascend instead of just being loud! Even though there is an option for it, it does it anyway. I have written to complain about the 'feature'Message Edited by karim on 21-Feb-2006

Ringing volume on 6233 too low!

I find the ringing volume on the 6233 to be extremely low when set to the ordinary levels. Basically, in order to get the phone to ring at a level loud enough that you might actually hear it in normal environments, you have to set the ring tone to the highest setting, which is "ascending."
This seems to be a curious and very annoying quirk of the 62xx models, as I had the same difficulty with the 6230, and it was especially bad with the 6230i. I once read about someone who said they were able to just set the tone to "ascending" and then put a pause before the loud bit, so that it starts off loud, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
Finally, I owned a 6630 and I also own an N80, and both of these phones ring very loudly and very clearly on normal settings. I would love some guidance from anyone inside Nokia or who has done research with their help centre about this problem, in order to understand why they seem able to deliver normal, effective ringing in some handsets, but not others.

we are waiting for a fix.
they are working on it http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do;jsessionid=2C91D1A432834B2F4D143A5654B83034?...

Ringing Volume and Speaker Volume

Ok..so, I saw the fix but it is temporary.. do we have any news for a permament fix from Apple yet?
The volume suxs!

I'm experiencing the exact same problem!
When the maximum ringing volume is set, the phone will ring for about 3 seconds at a certain volume, and only then the volume will rise to the maximum. And it's set on "ringing", NOT "ascending"!
Ideas, anyone?

Fix the Ringer Volume or buy the X back
All right enough of were fixing the issue in a future update
Issue a patch to 2.1 to resolve this issue or admit this is a hardware issue and start replacing or refunding which ever works best for each individual case!!!!!!
I don't won't to here 2.2 will remedy the issue until then what do i tell my clients that can't reach me because i don't have dog ears to hear with.
I have done every work around possible i even copied some of my wifes ringtones from her Droid 2 does not make any difference ( the droid 2 is extremely loud ).
So give us an answer not Lip service.
This is a shame this device is close to excellent this is the only issue i am having and it is a Major Issue. we are starting on two months since release on a device that was designed with 2.2 in mind, Both the droid and Droid 2 have had 2.2 and also a patchs to remedy their issues give it to us straight were big boys and girls.

Hey, Dude, sell it to me already. I'll give you the $200.00 for it, or whatever it is that you paid for the phone, hopefully not the full retail price. My girlfriend wants one really badly, but none of my 3 lines are elgible for an upgrade until next summer. And we will be happy to patiently wait for the Froyo update, as well as Moto's own update to repair the volume issue.
I'm not kidding....

How can I adjust just the ringer volume on an iPhone 4s

I have the ringer turned way up because I'm in a noisy work environment, but that also increases the volume for the key click, game sounds, etc. is there a way to only affect the ringer volume?

An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

Can I remotely turn the ringer volume on so I can find my phone?

Can I remotely turn the ringer volume back on, so I can find my phone using the "find my phone" ap? It's nearby, but I don't know where. I think I have an iphone 4???

Thank you so much. I did that, and didn't hear it, but when you said it will work even if the ringer is turned off, I did it again, and went outside, and it had fallen out of my bag near my car. I was pretty sure it was in the house because I had already looked outside, but obviously, not where it was.
Thank you again!

PSA: in iOS 7.1.1, alert sounds are tied to your media/game volume and not to your ringer volume

I was befuddled by this for a long time.
Alert sounds would just stop making noise. This includes dings from txt messages and new mail.
If I went to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and select several options, all I would get were vibrations.
I rebooted the phone and toggled the silence switch on and off.
I finally figured out that if I started a game and turned the volume up, the noises would come back.
I think it is reasonable for a user to wish to play a game on mute but still hear alert messages.
I think if we can only have two separate systems for audio control, the alert sounds should be tied to the ringer, not to the media/game sounds.
When I spoke to an apple support person over online chat, they seemed to agree that this sounds like a bug.
I have seen many confused posts in these forums regarding alert sounds suddenly disappearing.
Below is the text that I submitted at http://www.apple.com/feedback/
If you share this problem, I suggest you do the same.
My case number is 606343836
Begin message:
I've had a 5S since a few weeks after launch and this problem has only come about in the last few weeks, so I suspect it has to do with a recent OS patch.
Sometimes my alert messages just stop working. They seem to work one minute, then they stop. Alert messages would include email notifications and txt message pings. When they are not working, I can go into Settings>Sounds>Text Tone, and all of the options will simply result in a vibration and no sound.
Rebooting the phone does not fix the problem.
What I have found to fix the problem is to open a game and raise the volume of the game. Then when I exit the game, alert messages start again.
This seems reversible, if I go back in and mute a game, my alert messages go away as well.
If this is by design, I do not think it should be, as I think it is reasonable for a user to want to control the "media" part of the volume separately from the "ringer" and "alerts" part of the volume. It makes sense to want play a game or video on mute but still get alert messages. If anything, I think the alerts volume should be tied to the ringer volume, I think that would make sense.

Additional info, which makes me think this is a bug rather than a feature. If you go into Settings > Sounds and turn off the "Change with Buttons" option, then the ringer should always ring at the volume of the slider on the screen.
The volume buttons now appear to only affect the media/games volume, and it works as expected EXCEPT:
if you are in a game and you mute the volume in the game, then exit the game, all alert sounds are muted and you can't turn them back up by raising the volume with the volume buttons.
If you go back into the game and raise the volume within the game, then exit the game, then alert sounds do turn back on.
I have tested this with two games from two developers.

1020 There is no lock for ringer volume level, but...

Earlier today I posted in this Community regarding the Subject issue. Received good reply and marked it as a Solution. Had additional thoughts so I'm doing this new Post. Same Subject as before. I had asked if it's possible to LOCK the ring volume, at 10 for example, it's loudest, so I can hear it ring no matter what. I've been unpleasently surprised several times when my ringer rings BUT the volume is much much lower, way too low (2 or 3 maybe), way lower from where I had set it, up at (10). So then, I immediately adjust the volume back to 10, where I want it to stay, always. The volume up and down rocker button works fine. Problem is, the unexpexted, surprising and unwanted way very low ringer volume that causes me to MISS SOME CALLS. I have four kids. As a parent, missing calls can be a SERIOUS matter. If I could LOCK my ringer volume at 10 then I'll be happier. For me, thr parent, this tricky too low ringer volume problem is more than an annoying tech glich. What causes this problem, you may ask? The volume goes down without wanting it to do that because that while the phone is unlocked and in any kind of use or even while it is in screen lock mode, the very handling of the phone will sometimes unintendedly, unknowingly, without noticing it, press the down volume part of the volume rocker buttom. After all, the down volume part of the rocker button is the located at the lower end of that rocker and is closer to the center of the phone and close to the power button. That's right where anybody normally holds and works the phone, right there. AND worse yet, it takes only a little bit of pressure to accidently push the down volume rocker button. No wonder the down volume button unwillingly gets pressed alot. Also, unwanted down volume change, by pressing of the volume button, can happen in many ways such as in a pocket, carrying it in your hand, passing the phone around, lots of ways. This unwanted down volume change can and does happen on the 1020 while calling, texting, using apps and even during the screen lock mode, and that is with or without the pass code feature enabled. Only time this can't happen is when the phone is completely off and dark. I've searched the posts and don't find anyone else saying this. That doesn't mean it's not a real problem, like for us parents and others. But I know that what I say is correct, to my knowledge, because today an MS WP Community Moderator and also a Lumina Community contributor agreed with what I'm experiencing. This problem has always happened with my 1020 and my previous 920 always did exactly the same type of low volume TRICK. No updates are causing this problem along the way. It's just now that I got fed up enough to confirm within the Communities that there is NO WAY TO LOCK THE RINGER VOLUME on the 1020. I'm ranting about it to you fellow Lumina users. If you experience this, if it bugs you, if you agree that it's more than a mere tech glich nuisance, that it's causing missed calls for family and business, then please post in on this Lumina Community and demand a fix for it. I'm not a phone software expert but I'll bet that a minor software tweek followed by an update, is easily possible. This fix SHOULD be good for existing Lumina models, not just for future ones. I'm gonna work this. It can happen more surely and quickly if those Lumina users who share my concern will post about it. This post is not a critique nor does it infer defects in software or phones. I just want to peel a layer off this onion.

As far as the phone is locked, the volume key will not function .. so this should not affect the volume level.

Can anyone shed some light as to why it's not possible to adjust the ringer volume at the lock screen? Even though it's possible to adjust the volume during music playback and responses from Siri, etc.
Cannot answer that question. That is a decision made by Apple.

If there was a profile app available in the app store that allowed me to automatically set different volume levels at different times of the day it would be great - particularly if the app didn't require me to jailbreak the phone.
There would not be an app like that, as they would not have access to the API. You can provide feedback to Apple if you would like to see this enhancement at http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Treo800w does not use the ringer volume I have set

I have my 'Phone: Known Caller' ringer setting set to the standard Treo ring tone that came preinstalled on the Treo800w. I have the 'Ring type' set to Ring but NO matter how high or low I set the ringer volume it only rings at the lowest volume setting when a call comes in. It's so low that I basicly miss every call. I have tried changing to other ring tones and the same thing happens. The ringer seems to work correctly when the Ring type is set to 'Increasing Ring' but that starts out so low that it does not increase the ring volume enough before the call goes to voicemail. I need my ringer to use a relatively high ring tone volume setting.Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to resolve it?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I got a response to this from Paulcalif in another thread: "Have you tried "rebooting" by removing the battery and putting it back in. Try setting the volume all the way up first, then reboot it."
Lil Red: This seems to have worked although I still think there is a bug in the software. If I set the ringer volume to a different volume level the phone does not seem to respond. Oh well, as long as it rings loud then for the most part i'm good to go.

Is it possible to "lock" the ring volume setting?

I have set the call ring volume to its highest setting.
However, I guess when handling the phone, my fingers sometimes squeeze down on the volume setting button on the side of the phone and lower the volume back down.
It is a huge pain.
Is there a way to lock the setting or to disable the volume button?
Thanks.

I have been looking through the phone since I saw your post, and I have not come across anything at this point. Have you looked through the market for an app that can control the sounds? You must be hitting the buttons while using the phone, as it should not adjust the volume when the phone is locked... Maybe a different case? Something that sticks out a little bit to help "hide" the buttons?

Ringer volume not in sync with messaging or other alert volume - Verizon Centro

Hello and I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum or has been discussed before.
I have the Verizon Centro and have found that when I adjust the ringer volume using the side keys, the text message and any other alert volume stays at whatever I set it at earlier. So if I had previously set it at 7, I can put the ringer at 1 and the message alert is stuck at 7. I would really like to have these both sync with the side keys. Is this possible?
Thank you.
