I have the 2.1 ROM installed, and when the phone is in my pocket (or the light sensor is covered up), the phone rings at the loudest volume. This is VERY annoying as it scares me and is embarrassing when I am around people. I'm using the "old phone" ringtone.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have found no toggle anywhere!
Thanks for any help.
Did you try disabling the "Quiet ring on pickup" setting?
I have it currently disabled- I re-enabled it and it still rings UBER loud. I also just flashed to another 2.1 ROM and it is still doing it. I switched ringtones to "Standard 4" amongst others, and they all ring VERY loud. It starts off at the desired volume, but increases significantly until the 3rd ring where it is max volume. If the phone is just sitting on my desk, it rings at the desired volume constantly, but if i cover up the light sensor (any time during the ringing) it quickly goes to the loudest volume. This is getting to be a HUGE problem as this is my work phone and I can't miss calls by not feeling it vibrate, but can't have it ringing at loud volumes in the office!
^ I have the exact same problem! No matter what I have the ring volume set at, it starts out quiet but blasts to full volume. Scares the crap out of me every time!!
I'm at my wits end, this is really annoying! Does anyone know how to resolve this??

Which 2.1 ROM are you using? I'm using the original "leaked" one that doesn't allow rooting and am having the same issue.
I was using the first leaked ROM, and I thought it might be the ROM, so I switched to the "HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom." Same deal with that one. I might try another one, just in hopes of solving this problem!
Same issue here with the 2.1 HTC OTA one.
I am having this problem too and it is really annoying.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the proximity sensor on the phone. However, I don't see a way to disable the volume increase based on that. Perhaps its tied into rosie, since the proximity sensor seems exclusive to HTC.
Saw in another forum that it is a bug in 2.1. I tried the diasble quiet on pickup and that didn't work. Now using Smart Volume Free from the market and that locks in the volume I want. I still was really looking forward to the volume decreasing when I picked it up, not sure if this will help get around it but only solution was Smart Volume for me.
I tried this program, praying that it would work, but the "locked" ring volume is lagged. The phone rings at the loudest ring volume a few times before the "locked" volume takes effect. I guess it's better than full volume the entire time.
bump!! Anyone have a fix for this??
I was just thinking about looking for this thread again and see if anyone found a solution. I am rooted 2.1 and still have this problem.Is there a program or hack to fix this? I just keep my phone on vibrate most of the time because of this.
I downloaded some "Smart Volume" app or something that "locks" the volume, however, it takes a few seconds to kick in after the phone starts ringing. It will ring SUPER loud for 1 or 2 rings then quiet down when the app limits it.
I've resorted to carrying my phone in my pocket when only absolutely necessary and also answering or silencing it VERY quickly once it starts ringing.
SUCCESS! I installed the latest leak (v3) and the issue went away!!!!

i set all the sounds to maximum but when someone calls me, the ring sound starts too low and gradualy after 2-3 seconds becomes high. i searched and i dont found something that i can change not to ring incresingly..
is there any solution or my phone has problem??
thanks!
Anybody know of a way to fix this, the volume level is ridiculously high! I have my volume level set to 1 (absolute lowest) and it's still loud as $#!!%, like so loud I get speaker distortion. Maybe a registry tweak can fix this, or will I have to wait for an updated ROM?
Try setting it to Highest then call yourself then set it to lowest then call yourself, then restart and hopefully it's fixed .
TBH I don't know what exactly did I do, but within the fixing procedures there were some calls to myself and some restartings
I tried a couple different combination's of this method, but no luck thus far. Any other ideas?
Hi everyone,
Just wondering which sound setting controls volume for voice talk notification? When I do driving mode and a call is incoming, the volume is really low. I set my ringer volume on the lowest (one bar up from vibrate mode). I'm guessing this is it... but can anyone verify?
I'm at work now so didn't want to disrupt people by my phone going off figuring this out.
Thanks!
My Atrix is not ringing. No noise at all. No joke. And I have no idea why.
- It isn't switched to vibration
- Ring tone volume is on maximum
- In the menu where to choose a ring tone, the ring tones are working perfect.
- The sound is working fine with video or audi player. So no defect.
What is new, the alarm clock sound isn't very loud as well.
In my opinion momentary there are the following possibilities:
- It is in some way related to my upgrade to Gingerbread
- There is an application, I installed, blocking my sound
Probably the the last one seems to be very likely.
Any idea ? Somebody with the some experience. Please help. It is so stupid a phone which can not ring.
I understand this sounds stupid or as I am joking. But I am not. When my phone rings there is no ring tone, only vibration. Of course I checked all the settings. Can not find any disable of ring tone.
No ideas where to investigate ?
