Ringer Volume icon

When I attempt to change volume using the home page icon,the icon acts like it is locked and won't open to allow me to change volume.Help

Hello kufan1,
Welcome to the forums.
We are not sure what icon you are referring to. The speaker icon on the main screen of your device is a profiles icon and it is not used to change the volume of your device but rather change the device profile. Are you referring to a 3rd party application you install to have the ability to change the device volume or are you in fact referring to the profile icon?

Cannot Change Ringer Volume, Iphone 4

I am having some issues with the ringer volume on my iphone 4.
Cannot change the ringer volume with the side buttons, when I press them the ringer volume icon apperas but with no bars underneath it and unable to change it.
I have Ringer & Alert set to Change with Buttons.
However I have seen that when I press the home button twice and swipe to the mirroring icon this phone does not have itself in the list, but has my Apple TV's and the Dock Connector. IN my other iPhone it has the iphone.
I cannot chnage it from the Dock Connector setting.
Any idea on a fix. Did a full restore and this did not help.

Here is how I got mine to work again:
I plugged in the earbuds and made sure I can hear the sound from the earbuds then I just simply unplugged the earbuds and it worked! Hope this help you!

When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
- During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
- With the headphones, everything is ok!
- I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.

Speaker volume vs ringer volume

How do I get the volume buttons on my iPhone 4S to control the ringer volume rather than the volume of music etc? I've tried the 'change with buttons' toggle in sound settings but it makes no difference - I only get the speaker icon, not the bell icon. I'm sure it's straihtforward! Thanks.

Use the volume controls and turn the volume up.

N78 Bugs (Ringer volume, Internet radio)

=== Ringer volume ===
1. activate profile with high (100%) ringer volume
2. run music player and listen on 30-50% volume using headphones
3. Incoming sms/call ring will make you deaf :manmad:
=== Internet radio ===
sometimes wi-fi icon on main standby screen doesn't appear when Internet radio plays the music via wi-fi
=== Music Player ===
I am really tired of often freezes of Music Player
Does nokia has quality assurance guys???
Firmware: 20.149.051.1
Nokia n78, n79

Hi there, thankyou for your report on the bugs, here is my response (I too have updated to the latest v20.149 firmware):
1. this streaming internet radio feature has been removed since firmware 12.046 and has not appeared since. i believe, along with many other users here, that this is due to copyright issues, so by deactivating streaming of internet radio they are complying with appropriate copyright controls. it would be nice to stream internet radio through the FM transmitter but this probably will not come back
2. I found the same thing, i really do wish that it would stream all sounds from the phone, especially from the Maps application because the speaker is tinny. so maybe they can do something about this in subsequent firmware updates.
3. I find that the FM transmission power is variable, and not has increased/decreased with firmware updates. this is due to many factors, for example, it is summer here in Australia, and i have found that on really hot & hot and humid days that the FM transmitter struggles to send an adequate signal. hgowever, on cooler days the signal is strong and works well. I have tried this on both my car and standalone stereo in my home.
I hope these help you shed a bit more light on the issues, but I am as always holding out for the v30 firmware very soon

Volume Control Buttons - Ringer Volume?

This is the first Blackberry I've had, as well as the first phone I've had where the side volume buttons don't change the ringer volume, only in-call volume and music volume. The only way for me to change the ringer volume (or ringer profile, I guess) is to get to the home screen and scroll up to the ringer icon. Is it supposed to be this way or is there a way to change it?

I know how to change the volume. I'm asking if its possible to use the side volume button to change the ringer volume. Right now my side volume buttons don't do anything.

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.

I have an iPad 2 and the volume icon is in the middle of my screen and when i try to turn the volume down it just goes back up again and it makes it impossible for me to play games

i have an iPad 2 and the volume icon is in the middle of my screen and when i try to turn the volume down it just goes back up again and it makes it impossible for me to play games or do anything

Have you tried giving it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if htat helps.

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.

No Sound from Mac Pro, however, volume icon moves up and down

Hello, I was using my 12 month old Mac Pro last night and it worked fine with sound as normal. When I powered it up today there is no sound coming from my monitor, but the volume icon moves up and down when I press the keys? I've checked in the Preference sound file and everything is set ok? I googled this problem and some people have suggested that there should not be a 'red' light showing in the digital connection on the back? However, I can see a red light, I've tried using my headphones in the front mini-jack and nothing? I disconnected the monitor audio cables restarted the Mac, there was then sound as normal if I used the sound keys. I re-connected the audio cable and it continued to play sound for 5 minutes or so, then stopped working again?

I have a problem with my Powerbook automatically muting. If you read the posts, there seem to be a lot of people having this problem and no one can explain or help.

HT4085 The volume icon won't leave the screen and I can't seem to reset the volume. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iPad2 will not clear the volume icon from the screen no matter what I do. I've reset the ipad and nothing I do will make that icon go away and I can no longer control the volume. Am I missing something here, or does this warrant a trip to the Apple store?

The volume icon on the screen means that the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side. Make sure that it is not being pressed by a case, or a dent, or anything else. Make sure it rocks back and forth freely without getting stuck.
If it moves freely, and if you have already done a full reboot, then a trip to the store may be in order.

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.

ITunes 7.4.1 (2)...Not showing and Ring Tone Icons for An Songs...

I have recently upgraded to the newest version of iTunes. However, of the 1,000+ songs I have,
the ring tone icon is not showing up at all to create any ring tones for my iPhone. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks!

So after my last response, I have now managed to get the Ring tone identifier bar showing possible ring tone songs to show up in iTunes. However, none of my 1,000 + songs have an icon to allow me to make a ring tone.
Any ideas...
