Ringtone vs Notification Tone Volume

Just got my Incredible a week ago. I've noticed that the volume level of the ringtone is much lower than the volume of the notification tones. I loaded an mp3 as well and assigned it as the ringtone with the same result.
The notification tones are much louder than the ringtones. So much louder that I have to keep the ringer volume down enough that the actual ringtone is very quiet.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Hi David,
In CUCM, go to Device > Phone > Select Phone > Recording Tone Local Volume / Recording Tone Remote Volume.
HTH,
Chris

Transfering ringtones and notification tones from Z3 to another Z3?

Hello,
I wish to transfer my iPhone m4r ringtones/notification tones/alarms to my new Xperia Z3 phone - so how to do this? I created those tones by Ringtonium app so those tones are not bought ones. Those files are on my Mac laptop. I tried to use Xperia Transfer Mobile to transfer those files but it didn´t accept. I could find them - even made a folder for those files but they just appered to be gray colored meaning that I can´t select them even I could see them :-(. If possible to transfer them somehow I would be very thankful - just wouldn´t like to make them once again as there are plenty of them....
Many thanks in advance for your help :-)

Constant freezes, shut offs, no preloaded or downloaded ringtones n notifications tones

First, I was losing charge, come to find out my charger was dying and now dead.
That much is corrected.
But now, there are no preloaded ringtones, very few ringtones that I downloaded, or notification tones.
My alarm did NOT turn on this morning and I made certain it was set!
When I click on setting for sounds; notifications or phone ringtones the same error message appears on both:
"Sorry!
The application Settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close button."
How do i fix this?

Hi there!
I can provide a recommendation to ensure we get the phone in working order!
I'm glad you have been able to correct the power/charge issue.
Have preloaded ringtones ever been present in the phone? If so, when did you notice them missing? That with the fact your alarm didn't work leads me to believe there is a conflict somewhere in the software, for this I suggest a hard reset. Its usually not the first thing I like to jump in to, but in this case I feel it's the best option. Then after the reset, the phone will reboot and ask you to sign into Google/Gmail, this will bring back your contacts and calendar events. You will want to set up the apps again and the home screens. The SD card does not get touched, so you're golden with your media files.
Please advise your outcome with the master/hard reset.
Thank you and have a great day!

No ringtones and notifications through Bluetooth headset?

I have searched the app market high and low for an app that will direct ringtones and notification tones to the bluetooth headset. Not just some cheesy tone from the app itself, but the actual tone that the phone emits.
This seems to be a limitation of the X, no?
Geri O

That's a strange one, I don't use a bluetooth headset any more so I never noticed this happened, since it worked on all my other devices I figure this would work for the headsets also. I remember when I had this issue with WM devices and I usually could resolve with a app, I would be surprise that there isn't a app on market for this.
Another thing to try is to go to Settings / Wireless and Networks / Bluetooth Settings and press and hold on headset label and select Options and see if there is any advance options that can resolve this..

Ringtones and notification volume

Hello ,
I've got a Xperia Z3 compact , i got a probleme with my ringtones and notifications volume.
It's ok when i play it in selection menu , but when it setted , i can't herad my phone when somebody call me or when i receive a sms or other notification.....
All volumes are setted on maximum level, and i try with all souds effect turned on/off.
Is there a solution for this issue?

sad to say , sony dont care.
this prb exsisted since z2 (least from what i know )
they dont realize how soft their notification is.
playing with media is loud
but using as a notification tone is not. they need seperate volume tweaker like samsung or lg where u can only up notificaion volume to make it happen. apparently they dont watn to make one lol

Facebook notification tone

Even when I turn down my notifcation tone in the settings my facebook still plays a loud notification tone when I recieve a notification and this is very annoying and want to know how I can get this to stop.

Good afternoon jdismang.
I know how annoying unwanted/ loud notifications can be. Let's see how to change this setting on your SIII. Are you able to turn notification off in the application? From the main screen, select Menu> select Settings > select Sound > select Default Notifications > then change to lower volume or LED Indicator Only. The sound will usually be what you have the standard ringtone set to, which is why it may be best to select LED Indicator Only.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,

HTC Incredible--need REALLY LOUD notification tone

For when text messages come in. I'm a new Incredible owner, first smartphone, and I'm old, so be nice :-) I've tried out the various tones on the phone over the past week, but I keep not hearing the notification when a text arrives unless I am holding the phone in my hand (so, not when it's in my purse, my coat pocket, on the seat next to me in the car, etc.) I do have the volume slider bar as loud as it will go. Can anyone point me to a tone that's LOUD? I'm guessing something is available in Market? I don't care what the tone is so long as it's not something obnoxious or obscene. Thank you for any help!

there's an app called zedge. i use it for ringtones and text tones. i got the one that the motorolas have. it yells "DROID" at me and is pretty loud (my wife actually hates it it is so much louder than the other tones...lol). download zedge and you can preview MANY tones. when you find one you like you can choose to download it and select it as your tone. keep in mind that these are tones people have shared so there may be multiple files of essentially the same tone. some may make the same sound, but be louder. i also use an app called "missed call" that let's me customize the tones and reminders a bit further than just the phone. so now when i get a text, it says "droid" and vibrates at the same time. it then continues to vibrate every couple of minutes until i feel it in my pocket (i also have i hard time feeling it vibrate OR hearing it when it's in a loose pocket).

LG Revolution - How do I get separate notification tones for email vs. text vs. alarms?

Moved for greater exposure

In your SD card, create the following folder structure where you can copy paste your custom ringtones into the different folders. The top level of the SD card will be the SDcard drive.
SDcard drive:/audio/media/ringtones
SDcard drive:/audio/media/notifications
SDcard drive:/audio/media/alarms
You would put your custom ringtones in the ringtones folder and the text message and email notification tones in the notifications folder. Once the files are in there and the phone rescans (might require a reboot) the SD card, the custom files with be available in the selection lists.

Here's another suggestion -- MP3Gain
My comments on how to use it and where to find it are here: (link)
The instructions for using it to raise the volume are the same as the instructions posted there for using it to lower the volume.
One more thing.
At the top of screen, click on "Options" and you'll see this option:
"Don't clip when doing track gain"
When this is checked, MP3Gain will try to raise the volume as close as possible to the value you specified; but it will stop short of that value if that value will cause the ringtone to be distorted.
Omitting the checkmark will remove this restriction
Here is some advice on setting the clipping option I found:
http://forums.sonyinsider.com/topic/18810-mp3-gain/
"As [far as] setting the target, look at the clipping indicator (red "Y"). you want to target the highest number where the clipping is gone. I find the default 89 put the volume too low for my taste, but pretty much guarantee zero clipping. I find 90 or 91 is good enough in eliminating clipping most of the time."
If you want to apply MP3Gain to audio that you're going to use as music that you're going to listen to on your phone, here's advice on that matter:

Every time I set up a stock personal ringtone or text tone it reverts back to the default, Why?

Every time I set up a stock personal ringtone or text tone it reverts back to the default, Why?

yes, i have the same issue too... is there a way to change your notification tone? the only way i kno to change tones is through settings->sounds....
is there another way thats conflicting with this menu's settings?

Charging phone via USB removes custom ring/notification tones.

Per phone instructions I put my custom ringtones on my SD card. Now when I connect my phone to my laptop for charging during the day POOF, all the ringtone/notification tone customizations disappear and the custom tones disappear from all the menus.
An added "feature" of this situation is that toning is altered from the expected.
How does one stop this behavior?

when you plug it in, pull down the notification
press on usb, and set to cahrge only
if you mount the sd for the comp to see your phone wont have access to it

Can't add notification tones

I've been searching for a couple of days now, and I can't find an answer. Whenever I add mp3's to my notifications folder (sdcard:/media/audio/notifications/), nothing shows up on the Droid X. When I do this with the ringtones and alarm tones, they show up fine. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have updated to 2.2.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it

6300 ring tone volume

Does anyone else think that the maxium ring tone volume on the 6300 seems low ?

This is not entirely a 6300 thing. Most of the s40v3 phones are lower than previous Nokia's...s40v1&2 are louder.
I own a 6300, made in Hungary and my phone is ok where volume is concerned. I updated it to 5.50 and it seems louder. When I'm in the office I have to turn it down. The default Nokia ring on my phone seems much louder these days.
As SPEEDO944 said, you can use a video ringtone which will ring at maximum volume. Other than that you can always download loud MP3 rings and use them as your ringtones.
