already found discusion about this issue in here about one year ago,but no solution...anyone else having the same problem: ringtone volume decreasing itself??
have no any app.related with system volume, and my evo is no rooted, original latest ROM ..
thank you
Just to be sure... Theres a function under sound settings that will decrease ring volume when you pick/move the phone. If you are aware of that, then someone else hopefully will help.
no,is not the issue...no matterif is on or off,volume still mixed up and changing itselfs
Does it happen even when you reset phone to factory default settings without installing anything? Maybe some app is messing with it. Please link me to thread that you've found about that issue.

Thats really weird. You should send it to warranty service and ask to investigate issue as it seems to be factory defect. If its OS fault somehow, you can always wait for ICS update and see if it works properly after Im curious about that.
I have a similar issue and I suspect it's the same as yours. I just chose to ignore it though... What I've noticed is sometimes when pressing the volume buttons on the side to increase the ringer volume, it might automatically jump to the maximum volume without anything in between. When it does this, it will briefly act as if it's at max volume. But then go back to being just increased by one level instead. If it makes the in between adjustments on it's way to max volume, then the volume won't "change" on me magically. It is a bug, but not sure why it's there. I've seen this happen on I think every ROM I've tried (which is a handful) and the stock one.
Now in terms of MEDIA volume being different across the board. I haven't really figured this works quite yet, but it seems like media volume is remembered between activities/apps. Volume for my music is always different than the volume of videos I'm watching on a website with the flash player and different than the volume for playing games. This I feel is a feature more than a bug and am happy to have it.
I hope this sheds some light to your problem. I know it's no solution, but might help you identify what's happening to see when the volume does change.
Thats what I thought...just will try to set max.volume in every posible app. and players

Im not using that app...just check system volume settings and ringer level volume is the same as notification volume ..same when you tick :use incoming call volume for notifications..but I didnt...looks like system ignoring separatelly settings for both volumes and using same level no matter if you choose this option..

Basically when I get a call, my ringtone starts quietly, and quickly increases the volume to max. (max being whatever you set as your ring volume.)
Does this happen on all of our phones? This was not an issue with my G1 AFAIRemember.
Thanks guys!
Its not a bug, its a feature. However I do agree there needs to be toggle options for a lot of little things on this phone, ie: battery notifications.
So as of right now, no. We'll just have to hope Samsung throws a lot of changes into their Froyo update...
All Samsung phones at least 4 which I had this feature so don't worry !

How exactly is this an issue ???? this is the 3rd or 4th thread I seen about this feature.... please explain .,.,,.,.,.,
I did search before I posted, I just did not see any relevant threads.
This is an issue because I personally dislike having this "feature". It was not a problem on my G1, and almost every other phone that I've used has it as a ringer option.
I checked all the service menu's hoping to find something relevant, to no avail lol.
Here's hoping CM fixes this =)

It is, for the most part a Samsung Thing. On all of the older samsung phones, The Ringer speaker was also the Ear piece Speaker. As well as the Speaker phone speaker.
That was done so when you put the phone to your ear and say an incoming call beats your out going call (Happens to me sometimes) The ringer does not damage your hearing.
the only work around for this so far is just to edit the ringtone and insert a few seconds of silence (2-3) in the beginning and then have the ringtone play out normally
Thanks for the info guys. I will try adding a few seconds of extra sound to the front of my ringtones for now.
Maybe this will be fixed with a proper CyanMod lol
I guess that gets rid of the fade-in, but it makes even less sense than before. Not really a practical solution to anything (not trying to flame). You're just going from your ringtone fading in, to not even hearing your phone ring for a few seconds.
I mean unless you like the first 2 seconds of your ringtone THAT much.
That's an annoying feature regardless.
cause I keep missing phone calls...theres gotta be a way to turn this thing up to 11 without QPST
Kernel. Boosted volume kernel coming soon.
You can use volume plus or qpst. Probably not the solution your looking for but its a quick fix in the mean time.
Locked & Loaded
Volume+ (free) and QPST
I used both the Volume+ (free) and QPST method to try to increase my speaker volume. My E3D is rooted. No custom ROM. Volume+ helped only slightly maybe 10% and QPST did nothing. I am wondering if anyone has noitced an improvment in speaker volume using custom ROMS.

Don't know if you did the qpst mod correctly but I can definitely post it works. I set all of the volume settings to three and there's a dramatic improvement on playing music,receiving calls and threw hulu/fancast on the stock browser. Also if I enable volume plus I have to keep it set fairly low or risk speaker damage. The mod works.

What ringtone are you using? I can hear mine ring just fine (I use "crank ringtone" from the Zedge app).
Playing videos can be a bit low, however.

Defo did the QPST correctly, I have it set to 4 on all things. Becuase my ringtone is so low I use a "56K Modem dialing up" ringtone. I chose this because it covers a lot of sound frequencies and its extra annoying so i notice it. I find media to be quite low overall.
volume plus and qpst dont work ...qpst works for some people not everbody i dont know why but i know one thing the volume on evo 3d really sucks
I didn't even know there was a problem with the volume. Mine is just fine...

Man you mean they didn't work for you.
I can 100% tell you they do. Version 1.7 volume plus work on the evo3d. Also I can't see the program qpst that works directly with the phones hard ware failing to increase the volume. Im going to say its user error.

the guy who posted how to increase the volume using qpst mentioned that qpst fix doesnt work for all people with evo 3d ...if u think u know more than him please share with us so we won't make the same "user error "
If your rooted try Volume+ from the market it fixed it for me and I had 2 phones I tried the QPST fix with and it didnt work for either of them.
i dont know why people are getting offended when we say the volume really sucks on evo 3d ...its not like we own different phone and just talking **** about your phone ...we own the SAME phone ...lol
ok guys ..if u are saying that voulme plus works ..can u share with us the settings that increase the ringtone volume ...thanks

Guys I have an issue that I don't believe is rom related but I'm not sure (I'm on the collective's cp3) or it might be be a random act of insanity from my phone.
My phone has started changing the default ringtone and notification sound on its own 1-2 times a day randomly. This just started about 4 days ago and I've been on cp3 since the 2nd (this leads me to believe it's the phone not the Rom). It always picks the same sound for each. I have tried a couple different methods for my own tones. I have loaded my tones into the system / media folder and I have also used tone picker, but the phone reacts the same either way. I did a full wipe re-flash to see if that would fix it which did not.
Edit:
The phone always chooses scarabaeus for the ringer, usually after messing with the volume levels.
Has anyone experienced this issue and / or have any suggestions.
Thanks
2nd edit: just wanted to post in case someone else experienced this..... I think the issue is the app volume ace, when changing profiles it reset the ringer, but messing with the volume levels through settings had no effect on ringer. I uninstalled and hopefully this will fix it.

I Know its been along time but I am having this same exact problem with my Galaxy S5. Did you ever get it solved by uninstalling Volume Ace? I use the Volume Ace as well so I think its the culprit as well. Let me know couse I love the app and don't want to uninstall if its not the problem.
In my case it was definitely the app. I've never gone back to it due to the issues I had.
Hi
I really hope I can find an answer here. My speaker volume during call is too low, especially when I use it during driving.
Apps like Volume+ cannot solve this as they only boost the overall volume, and the results are not good enough (cal vol still too low, ring tome distort)
So I tried to boost spk vol using service/engineering mode menu
Dialed code *#*#197328640#*#* and taped optin 5 - Audio. But nothing happens. I looked it up and it turns out that Samsung blocked the Audio menu for some unknown reason. It also turns out that ths limitation is coded in the modem used. So I changed the modem to onld KI3 (GB modem). Amazingly it worked. Audio menu unlocked and I could change the max spk vol from 88 to 100 and my spkr during call was boosted and sounded just great...
BUT, my signal reception and bat draining is the worst I ever had. Plus, I cannot install a matching RIL because this is a GB based modem and I'm running ICS 404.
So, since the audio menu blocking is a modem related issue, I there any way to patch/hack an ICS modem.bin to unlock the service mode audio menu??? I've searched the entire internet and this entire forum and could not find an answer. There are so many fine and talented devs here, I wonder why no one has found a workaround for this. Is it technically possible to restore the audio menu in service mode? Is where are all these settings saved? I noticed there is a system app named servicemode.apk. Could this be patched? Is there a config file that holds all the menu settings?
I promise to buy a full case of beer to any dev who will find a solution to this. Also I cannot understand why samsung set the max spk vol to 88%and not 100%...?
Thanks
If you flash the old modem, change the volume then flash a newer modem does it not retain the volume settings? It worked with me for WBAMR settings.

Thanks. Already tried that. WBAMR works, but not with audio settings. In fact, even if you leave the old moden, audio settings get reset to default after each reboot... I really don't know samsung so anxious to prevent us from changing audio settings.. And why are they setting all max volume to only 88 or 86%???
To bad no one cares about this and try to do something... There must be a way to decompile modem.bin and unlock it.. I wish I knew how...
Fair enough. I tested it myself as I find the handset volume too quiet in many calls myself. If it was just possible to get into the audio menu then a Tasker script can be used to automate resetting the volume to 100 or whatever after every reboot. It's getting the audio menu that's the problem.
I don't understand wtf it would be locked out, why??!

So no one did fix this nor find a solution? I have used Omega rom for a year, and volume settings did work from STweaks. But after I did reflash on the same rom, same kernel, these setting do not work on in call volume. I mean, yes, ringtones are louder and other sound, but talking on the phone in a bit loud place in pain in....
I don't remember what modem I had, but I always thought it's newest one. Now I can't enter AUDIO menu, and cannot boost incall volume...
This may be because of some APK that samsung has in it's rom. When I installed Omega, "in this time" I tried NOT to install Samsung crap programs, and made thing simple. Maybe that is because of some missing APK?
Please gurus, help me, this is just stupid and making me crazy.
P.S.
This forum sometimes feels like dead one..
Hey guys, I'm having this issue with my stock Razr Maxx, where the ringtone volume turns down (close to silent) and I don't even know it unless I receive a call and there isn't any noise around (or else I totally miss the call).
I understand this is probably a well known bug, but I would just like to know if there's anything triggering it, so I know how to avoid this. I'm using a bluetooth headset every day, at work, but I haven't figured out a pattern yet, or even if the bluetooth headset is causing this.
Help? Please?

Looks like your bluetooth headset may be changing the volume without your consent.
Try to plug it off at least for a day and see if the problem happens
It looks like it wasn't the bluetooth headset.
During the weekend I haven't used it and this morning the volume was all the way down...
I have disabled the 'increasing volume' setting from my alarm and see if that helps, as I realized I always snooze or stop the alarm while it's still barely audible.
=P
I'm used to have three different alarms. I don't like snooze...i prefer to sleep more ten minutes and have a different alarm. Since i'm sleepy when i look the alarm i tend to cancel it instead of snooze also
Some time ago i had a similar problem with my XT910. After taking it to a authorized local service my volume up key wasn't working anymore ; they fixed it somehow.
Why don't you try to install an custom rom or reflash your actual rom ? It would tell us if your problem is hardware or software (if the problem persists with another rom surely its a hardware thing - i don't think kernel is related to this).
I will be flashing the official JB when it comes out, hopefully soon. I've got the "MERetail.en.06" software version now and I understand this is the Middle East version, which will not get the JB OTA update, so I will have to flash another ROM anyway. I'm willing to wait for it to come out first.
