Louder tones for ringing, text and e-mail alerts

How can I increase the sound settings to make the ring tones, text & e-mail alerts louder? I have used the rocker switch on the side to turn up the volume to the max but I still miss calls and alerts. No I am not deaf either!! I am sure other users must face the same dilemma. Thanks. Colin.

i hate to point this out but with 1.1.4 and a non-hacked phone you can make custom ringtones for incoming calls - you have a selection of built in sounds for text msgs but no way of adding custom ones - for the other alerts you can just turn them on or off - you cant chose the sound they make

    Sounds like all the settings that you may have adjusted to save power (screen brightness etc etc) have been defaulted back to factory.
    If you jump into all the settings and turn off what you dont need and turn down what you do need it will be the same as before.
    Worked for me

  • PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

    PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox.  Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
    When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions.  It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app.  But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone.  And not in the Deleted box.  Just gone.  Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up.  Please help.
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
    Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
    At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
    Next...
    Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
    At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
    Select All = command A

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • I purchased a text tone from Itunes.  It shows up in my library, but not as a text tone.  Is there a way for me to set it as a text tone for all texts?  Or I am stuck with factory settings?

    So it is conseidered a customized text tones even if it was purchased through iTunes?  Confusing.  Since I bought it through itunes as a text tone I assumed it would work.  OOOPS

  • Is variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas?

    hi all,
    can anyone let me know whether variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas.
    if so cany one send me examples of using offsets to my email id [email protected]
    regds
    hari

    You use offsets on dates (0CALMONTH, 0FISCYEAR, 0DAT and so on) and of course the corresponding texts.
    If you have 0CALMONTH in your query and you want to do the same thing not only for the current month but for the past twelve months, they you just minus 1, 2....11,12 for each selections, and at the same time you can create text variable for the description of each month.
    thanks.

  • Is there a mobile device for just text and games for a child?

    is there a mobile device for just text and games for a child?

    iPod touch?  That's the only "iPod" that can play games (run apps).  It connects to the Internet over WiFi (not mobile carrier).  It's basically an iPhone without the phone parts.  If you get a used one, earlier models cannot run all the software available to the latest model (include the latest version of iOS).  That may be perfectly OK for a child, but you should look into and understand the imitations of older models, before getting one used or refurbished.  Apple-certified refurb iPod touch is available here

    When I purchased ringtones for my texts and two of them dont play when someone texts me,but plays when they call

    Hi Kel134,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation. 
    iPhone: Microphone issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
    Resolve the issue
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
    Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
    Dirt or debris
    A screen protector or case
    When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
    Turn the iPhone off and then on.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
    For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps,

  • My IPhone 4s ringer, text, and some apps won't sound

    Here's the details.
    I have an IPhone 4s, and I use Pinger EX, a VoIP app. My ringer, my text sound, Facebook notification sound, and some but not all app notification sounds are silent. I don't recall making any setting changes before this happened. I have tried restarting my phone, resetting the settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the Pinger app. No, my toggle switch isn't on mute. The "Do Not Disturb" option is off. I have gone through every setting I can find and can't for the life of me find the problem. I have it set to vibrate on ring so that it at least will vibrate to notify me. Again, it's not on silent. I can go into settings and test, and hear, the ringtone. For the text tone and others, I can only get it to vibrate.
    Is this some strange and secret sticky key that I'm unaware of?

    IT IS SOLVED!!!!!!
    i open twitter, and drag down for update, and suddenly the voice is came out from the speacker!!!
    now it is normal.
    when i try to figure out what happen, i remeber that i was on twitter and i make a call, after that i discover the problem..
    hope that you could solve the issue, try twitter and see if it is work for you also

  • Can I create a keyboard shortcut for changing text colors in Mail?

    When composing an email in Mail (v5.2), I often have the need to change the text of a few words to red to highlight them (e.g. names of people assigned to an action item) but want to do it via keyboard shortcut.  I know I can do the following:
    Press Command-Shift-C brings up to Colors panel
    Choose the color (e.g. Red) with my mouse
    Type the text
    Choose the color (e.g. back to Black) with my mouse
    Continue typing text
    And that's if I want the color panel to stay visible (add at least 3 more steps all together if I close it in the interim).
    I've tried using keyboard shortcuts to assign a color (couldn't find the right menu path) and Automator to create a script (the color panel always has to be in the right location which it may not be). None of those techniques work.
    It's an annoyance more than anything else but I imagine it should be possible.
    Thanks for any assistance!
    John

    Not only is this very possible, it's also very easy. You can do this not just for Quark but for any application in OS X. To accomplish what you want, do the following:
    * Firstly, quit QuarkXPress completely. The rest of the steps won't work if it is still running.
    * Go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences.
    * Click the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference Pane
    * Click Keyboard Shortcuts
    * Click the + button to add a new shortcut.
    * Select QuarkXPress as the application.
    * In the Menu Title field type "Place Name" exactly like that but without the quotes.
    * Click inside the Shortcut field and type the key combination you want to use for this shortcut. I suggest using Command + one of the F keys, like Command+F1.
    * Click Add.
    * Close System Preferences
    * Run Quark, open a document, and try it out!

  • Loud tone, fans at max, and a terminal screen at boot up...

    Frequently, if this G5 has been shut down, when I start it up, there will be a long loud single tone heard, the fans will spin up to jet engine capacity and I'll get a screen with text and instructions to type in "mac-boot" to continue. Anyone know what this might be?

    Sounds as if you are starting in single user mode: follow the instructions [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492]

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • SRM Portal - Hover descriptions for the text and buttons

    Hi,
    In the SRM Portal (5.0), the standard hover description for text and text fields is "Area for Input Fields".
    Hover descriptions are those little boxes that appear when you mouse over fields, offering additional info about the fields.
    In the HTML templates, there is no perceivable way to edit these fields. I have tried to edit the tooltip for these fields in the screen painter for these screens (SE51 Layout), but that doesn't work.
    Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Can anyone offer any advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks.
    The function 'BBPSC_TD_FIELD' gives no parameters for changes to the hover descriptions:
    `function BBPSC_TD_FIELD_DEFINE(FieldName_p,
                                    Label_p,
                                    TD_p = "X",
                                    maxLength_p = "40",
                                    size_p = "40",
                                    ValueExt_p = "",
                                    Mandatory_p = "",
                                    Lines_p = "" );`
    Like you said, I might need to create my own function here. I can't change the standard function, since it's called from almost every template, so creating my own would be best.
    It's hard to understand what to change exactly. From where are the input parameter (FieldName_p, maxLength_p) values pulled/callled? Hmm. How do I name mine and what else ...

  • Perform Save for Styled Text and images

    I have build a text editor
    I am using a JTextPane
    but facing a problem with saving and opening the files with Styled text and images.
    Can any body help me out with a sample code
    Thank you

    Hi,
    If you want to save the file so that only your application can read the contents back, then you can serialize the Document of the JTextPane to the file and then read it back. This is the simplest approach.
    Serialize myTextPane.getDocument(); and while opening do
    Deserialize Document
    StyledDocument myDocument = stream.readObject();
    myTextPane.setDocument(myDocument);
    and you are done, irrespective of whether text pane contains only text or images or any other combination.

  • Email, Text and Phone call alerts

    Hi. I just got my BB Tour and was wondering if there is a way to silence email alerts while keeping text and phone call ring tones active? I've tried adjusting the profile under Message Alerts section but it doesn't work. I've silenced everything but SMS text and Phone but I still get a ring tone whenever I get an email. It's annoying since emails come relatively often.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I was confused by this as well, but it eventually just sorted itself out.
    There was probably a reboot involved.
    I do remember selecting "None" for the email alerts, and still getting them.  Then, it was fixed.
    If you haven't already, try removing the battery and rebooting.  I know, it's the same lame suggestion for everything, but at least I offer hope that it's fixable.
