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?

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.

My keyboard clicks and ringer volume have disappeared. I have tried plugging in the head phones many times, blowing air in the headphone jack, credit card in the charger jack, everything on you tube basically! To no avail! Any suggestions?

Hi Bones777,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not hear sound from your iPhone speakers, try these steps next:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If you still do not hear sound after completing the troubleshooting above, I recommend backing up your iPhone data and restoring the iOS software:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

[iOS 7] Alerts and typing played in earphones at ringer volume

Hello all, ever since upgrading to iOS 7 yesterday I've noticed an annoying ear-drum bursting audio bug; now whenever a video or music is not playing on your iPhone alerts and typing (the tap-tap noise) come through my earbuds at ringer volume, which I usually set much higher than volume/headset volume so I can hear my phone in noisy situations. I usually set my headphone volume low to preserve my hearing, but now I can hear typing with my earbuds sitting on my desk.
The clincher is that this still happens even when I turn my earbuds all the way down; even when my earbuds are muted I can still hear typing and alerts at whatever volume the ringer is set to. This happens without earbuds too; muting the iPhone's internal speaker will not mute typing. (Alerts I would expect to play at full volume without earbuds connected, and they seem to do so.)
If anybody has a work-around for this that would be incredibly nice, it would be nice to be able to have my earbuds in to listen to stuff other than music. I'm fairly sure that iOS 6 did not have the same behavior. (e.g. typing is a sound effect and not an alert, and headphones use the same volume for alerts, music and effects.)

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.

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.

Speaker phone volume vs Ring volume

The ring volume is always able to go very loud..why can't the speaker phone volume do that same?

Its a function of the size of the speaker - turn it up much higher and the cone will break. The speaker is about 1mm across - its not a ghettoblaster and in a quiet room, its very audible.

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.

VOLUME and SPEAKER PHONE

I had to return my 8GB Iphone yesterday as the volume on the handset and speaker phone was absolutely poor! I need my phone for BUSINESS and not being able to hear is a large issue for me. The Apple salespeople at the store tried to keep me quiet and hushed me to the back for the return. I was by no means causing a scene just wanted to return it. The Apple techs and salespeople acknowledged the problem and said it has been the reason for most of the returns and were not sure of any updates. When the Store Manager came over to give me a credit he didnt speak one word to me. Sorta Rude...
I compared it to my Blackberry Curve and there is NO comparison of the headset volume or Speaker phone volume.
I am so dissapointed but will try generation 2 when it comes out! The Iphone is a great phone but Apple HAS to figure out the quirks and bugs.
For all you critics it is a Great phone and has some great tools and features but it is a PHONE and my MAIN purpose is to talk on it! And when you cant hear then their is a TRUE ISSUE. And yes I took the plastic off too.
I hope Apple gets this solved. As I would consider re-buying!
Cheers

Of course most believe it is a solvable issue. The problem is that for those of us that need to use this for the phone feature the majority of the time, volume is an absolute neccesity. The 14 day return period is running out and some of us do not have the luxury of having more than one cell phone that we can use for the phone purpose until the issue is resolved. Any why should anyone expect one to do that? The phone was $650 with tax, then $80 a month for something you cannot use daily, is truly asking a bit much unless you have money to burn.
I'm not knocking the iPhone, I think it is a great item, but as a phone, it needs to have appropriate volume. And if Apple is not talking and releasing a statement about it, why should anyone wait around for something that may or may not be fixed in the very near future or even how long 'very near' may be?.... Especially when you cannot even get two Apple reps to acknowledge their is an issue with the volume?

The ring switch and the volume botton do not work what is theproblem ?

The ring switch and the volume bottons do not work, what is the reason?

When you say they don't work, what are you trying to do? When you say the ring switch, I'm assuming you are referring to the mute switch that turns the ringer off/on? What troubleshooting have you tried?
The standard troubleshooting procedures for the iPhone are:
Power off/on
Reset
Restore, first from backup, then as a new phone.
IF that doesn't help, then you make an appointment at the nearest Apple Genius Bar and have them see if there is a hardware issue.

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.

Check:

My ringer volume keeps turning itself up to max and then the volume icon stays on the screen, anyone know how to fix this?

I Have the exact same issue why is there still no fix?!?

Ringer Volume vs. Keyboard and Alert Volume

Hi
I have the 3GS and was wondering if there is a way to keep the ringer volume up high but have the keyboard and alert volume lower?
Thanks.

It does seem like the alerts are loud relative to the ringer, doesn't it? If you turn up the volume for the ringer, the alerts are too loud. If you turn it down to make the alerts reasonable, the ringer is too soft.

Seperate music and ringer volume please!!!

Seriously, I don't want the volume high when listening to music, want to preserve my ear drums, you know?!
But then, I keep missing calls because the phone rings so silently...because I have volume set to low when I was listening to music!
The two seriously have to be seperated, sort it out Apple!

They are separate. Your volume switches work differently depending on what you are doing. You may get a readout above the "speaker" symbol that appears on the screen telling you what volume is being adjusted.
If you are not using anything, the volume switches adjust the ringer volume.
If you are playing music or video, they adjust the music/video volume.
If your headphones are plugged in, they adjust the headset volume.
If you are actually on a call, they adjust the earpiece volume or speakerphone volume, whichever you are using (without a readout).
If you are on a phone call using bluetooth, they adjust the bluetooth volume.

IPhone 4S - after 6.1.1 update, cannot adjust ringer volume, and odd music playback behaviour

This is a minor issue that'll probably end up in the hands of some apple tech, but I'm curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
After updating my phone to 6.1.1, I noticed that occasionally I did not hear anything when playing music through earphones. An attmept to adjust the volume simply displayed the "ringer" icon and no volume meter. When I launch a new song from stopped (not paused), there was no sound or any ability to control it. I unplugged the earphones; the play icon remained, it normally disappears indicating a pause. Plugged back in and music started coming through.
Text/Ring tones are still audible; good because I use it as an alarm clock. The phone is behaving as though it were "docked" though the music playback thing is just weird. I haven't tried playing music while it is actually docked yet.
Will try a restore tonight after work.

Ok, so I found this thread in another part of the forum and thought "hey maybe I should try that". I borrowed a can of compressed air from the IT guys and fired it into my phone's dock port. A few particles of who-knows-what came flying out. I've been testing it pretty thoroughly for the past hour, so far it seems to be back to normal. How a dirt particle can short the docking circuitry into thinking it's docked, I have no idea, I'm not an electronics expert...
Anyone having the same issue, go grab a can of compressed air, blow it into your phones ports (both dock and headphone jack), or try the toothbrush thing in the above link. If you use a dock regularly, keep it clean!
