6301 Ringing Volume

I am really struggling to hear this phone. It is not a fault as my replacement is exactly the same. Can anything be done about this issue as I love everything else about the phone but pretty pointless if I miss so many calls !!

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.

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.

Why I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons and there is no ringer with the Mute button OFF

With the mute switch OFF - I am unable to adjust the ringer volume by the side buttons.
When someone calls/texts there is no sound coming from the speaker.
The headphone jack works when I listen to the Ipod and the speaker works when I change the ringer volume through settings. So i know that the speaker does work
Headphone jack seems clean and dust free
I heard that there may be a Skype issue than can control the speaker volume - so i deleted it but i still cannot get any sound from regular functions.
When I play the Ipod through the speaker with no headphones there is no option to change the volume and no sound.
If it works when i go through settings to set my ring volume, my ringtone plays - then why does it not work otherwise?

I have Iphone4s 16GB, IOS7.0.4 updates having a problem , that when i press + or - volume keys while my iphone is ringing my iphone 4s goes silent .
Whereas you know silent key is used to make the ringing phone silent. This button is working ok while only problem is my iphone goes silent while pressing + or - volume keys as these keys should increase / lower the ringing volume . These keys were ok working in IOS 6.
Where as these keys are also working ok in music player of iphone for IOS 7, the only problem is for ringing.

Minimum Ringer Volume with a 7941 - not working

Hi,
As the title suggests, I cannot get the Minimum Ringer Volume setting to work with a 7941 phone.
I have set the minimum volume setting to 7 in the product specific config layout, saved it, applied config and reset the phone. Still i can silence the ringer volume using the buttons on the phone.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Don

Your disk is using the Apple partition scheme, and the resizeVolume command will only work on disks using the GUID partition scheme. You cannot change the disk from one scheme to another without erasing and repartitioning it.

Ringer volume slider bar keeps turning on, how do i disable it while I'm taking pictures.

I have gone in and tried to set all to vibrate, but still the ringer volume keeps coming up and the volume bar shoots all the way to high
it diong wrong, I keep missing those Kodak moments, waiting for it to clear from the LCD when in the camera mode.

I believe I found the problem, an app I have for a radio station, I just noticed the volume was all the way up.
I turned it down. right after I posted this I clicked on "More like this" off to the right, and believe I got what I needed as for an answer. Thanks to Rat_boy's Question and Bryan_Mick's knowledge.if this all it took, then ill be a happy camper for the eclipse tomorrow. Thanks Again Bryan

HT4053 I have lost the ring when I get a phone call or a messege. The phone vibrates, but there is no ringtone. I have a ringtone picked and the ringer volume is as high as possible.

That pretty much sez it. No ringtone on a call or messege or text although one has been selected. Vibration but not tone. Ringer volume is all the way and nothing.
