I feel that the ring tone and message tones volume are too low. I've already have it turned on to MAX
but I still feel its too low. How can I go about to making it louder? I had OPO and I loved loved loved how
loud and sharp the sounds were. So disappointed with the X sound lvl/loudness. =(
I'm running crDroid custom ROM and have the same question, but the issue for me is that I think volumes are too loud, even on the lowest level. In my house, there are normally quite peaceful and sometimes I almost wet my pants when the phone rings.
Surely there's a way to modify sound levels through some configuration?
Btw, for the OP, I downloaded my ringtone, notification and alarm from Zedge. Not sure if there are any differences but just wanted to mention.

I went to Zedge and typed in ALDEBARAN no match found. I want my rings/notification loud because many time I'm out
and I can't seem to hear the msg tone when I receive a text. When I had my OPO I could hear it all the time
even when I had my music in the car at a high loudness(disturbing the peace =X).

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!!!!

Hi all,
Bit of a question here.
I've just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the Xperia Z2 and overall I'm loving it so far. It's just such a huge difference. Only thing I'm missing is a screen protector (As soon as I removed the peel from the one included in the box it just seemed to suck dust from the air and became impossible to put on without dust and bubbles being under it ) but overall it's a great experience.
The only issue I have is that, compared to my S3, and compared to the volume that games/videos can reach, my ringtone and alarms seem to be very low volume, even when the volume is turned up to maximum.
Is this something others have noticed?
I've tried several alarm apps, the stock one, Alarm Clock Plus and Alarm Clock Xtreme Free but all of them put the alarm at the same level which just isn't as high as I could get from the S3.
Does anyone know of a way to boost this? The alarm in particular is what concerns me the most, since I use my phone as an alarm clock to get up in the mornings for work. At the moment I'm a tad paranoid so keeping my sim-less S3 as a backup alarm to go off 5 minutes later

Not possible unless Sony updates their firmware.
Needs root to change the gain levels.
me to I've just upgraded from a LG G2 to Z2 and i have same issue the notification/ringtone very low
Hm. Well, for me, my alarm wakes me up just fine. I'm not exactly a light-sleeper, but definitely not a heavy one either.
As for text messages... I do occasionally not hear it.
Darn. Hopefully it's something Sony address in future updates.
I'm looking to avoid rooting at the moment given that I bought the phone Sim-free so am rather paranoid about bricking it.
Same thing for me.. Tried to play some music first then turn on the alarm and it's such a difference! I too use my phone as an alarm and I really can't be late for work anymore Tried several alarm apps as well but no luck.. Hope they fix it soon
i got sulotion for notification sound
go settings - sound - sound effact - than check on dynamic normaliser

Will check this option and share my experience
Thanks anyhow
Any confirmation?
I thought it was the volume security policy used by Sony like on their MP3 Walkman.
Anyone tried with Viper4android?

Thanks, tried it and its noticeably louder when receiving a sms
I haven't tried it yet, but this thread mentions another setting that might boost the volume of the internal speaker.
Will be testing it later today when I get home from work. Don't want to be testing my alarm in the middle of the office XD

Enable xloud as well
low ringtone for alarm
Hi,
In the sound selection menu for the alarm I have the possibility to replay a new possible tone. This is much louder than the alarm and it is much louder when the tone that is emitted when I pull the volume slider for the alarm to the right and keep pressed, which is too quiet for me. Currently, I find no way to set a reasonable volume. Currently, the vibrator is almost louder.
What have I done so far? I tried diffent sounds and mp3s. I have turned off all sound effects. No increase the ringer volume, no EQ, no Sourroundsound, no Clearaudio +, no normalization. The adjustable volume, is whe I use the side-mounted switches -> to maximum. Also the menu Sound settings volume - every sound slider is at max. However, the max volume is also different than the volume that is output when I replay this file in the menu where I can choose the alarm tone. The replayed sound is much louder and enough for me.
Please not a new ROM, I do not want to tinker.
Thanks for your help
Greetings
P.
This sound issue is already fixed on the new FW (.314).

No, the newest software .314 doesn't fix the problem. Without xloud and normalization(this helps the most I think) turned on I could barely hear notifications. Now they are the same level as when I play them from notification picker. Which all is kind of weird to be honest. Ringtone is normal when somebody rings me. But level of notifications when SMS comes or whatever is 2 times quieter than when playing sound from notification picker in settings menu.

There's a mod in Themes and app section where you can get both speakers working for notification as stock Sony ROM only use bottom speaker for notifications. This might help a bit
One thing I've noticed with xLoud is that if I put the phone into vibrate/silent mode, then the xLoud setting no longer takes effect when I put the volume back up again. Even if I disable and re-enable the xLoud checkbox, I'm back to the volume I got without xLoud. The only way to get it working is to power off the phone and then power it back on again.

Yea I used the mod before but that doesn't change anything :/ Sony messed up firmware.
xperia Z3
I solved the problem. I downloaded the app Ringtone Maker, opened it in the desired mp3. Click on the Fade and volume and set to 4-5. Save as like new notification and add to the desired application. Done.
All right huys I really need your help ! How to turn off that Annoying beeping sound when changing volume ! I've scrolled over all settings. And I didn't find anything. Maybe I'm blind or there are some other ways to turn off. Especially when my wife is trying to fall asleep and i need to turn down the volume i hear Beep Beep Beep
The "Beep" is only when turning down ringtone volume, right?
No it's there up and down...at least it is on the Mate 10 non pro. It's barely audible in normal surroundings but I suppose at night in bed when all is quiet it seems annoyingly loud. Hmmm?

Yeah, that's what I mean ! I've asked lots of people but nobody kbows what to do. Maybe there's an app for system volume setting or something else... Don't know what else to try
You know if you open the sliders by pressing the volume key just once, you can then use the slider to adjust the volumes without any beeps at all.
Did anyone experience low volume while notifications came. i feel its too low than s8+.
Same on mine.
It is a bit lower than the s8 plus I have
Yep it's low. Something is wrong (software problem).
I downloaded a few notifications from zedge and there loud but as soon as you use it as a notification it's very low.
Even Samsung own notification sounds are low.
It's really bugging me tbh
I have it to looks like a software problem
Same here. Maybe we should turn off dolby atmos...?

Certainly has nothing to do with atmos.
I hope they no there's a problem and fix it ?
we have to report it to samsung. hope next update wil fix it
Same here. I downloaded "Shot gun shot" from Zedge for my texts and it has helped a TON. But yea, its retardedly low otherwise.
same here the sound is even weird and only from the bottom speaker.

Yes it's not very clear at all
+1 here.
Same here too
All notification sounds are really low. Very hard to hear it if you are in a different room. How can we report this issue to Samsung?
this is very annoying. I cant hear any whatsapp notifications because sound is too low!
Guys is there a way to report this ?
I haven't experienced this problem. But I also immediately turned on Atmos when I got my phone and when I did, I noticed that it made the speakers louder.
Maybe there comes a mod to make the speakers louder i have turned atmos on but i don't hear any difference.

Atmos works perfect during Video/music playback.
It's notification sounds that are not very clear and very low in volume.
I watched an episode of walking dead on my phone the other day and enabled atmos and it sounded great I'm pleased with that function.
Yes, I have the same problem, volume for notifications are very low, surely it's a software problem because the speaker is loud for ringtones and other source of sounds.

I have the "new" Bold N1 phone on android 9 pie, and I thought this was an issue with the phone BUT the speakerphone and headphone volume in calls(media and notification sounds is loud enough) is LOWER than every other volume on the phone and super ****ing quiet. When you go to the sound settings it gives you 4 slider bars for volume, media, ringer etc and they give you a test sound when you lift your finger off the slider, well the call volume(not the ringer) is all the way up and WAY quieter than every other slider bar test sound when it is all the way up, I tested the same slider on my pixel 3 with android pie 9 and the exact same thing, does anyone know how to make the speakerphone/in call/in call headphone volume louder? it seems like its capped as the rest of the sounds on the devices are loud and clear.
I was about to do an RMA for the device but the same problem is on the pixel 3 as well running android 9, has anyone ran into this? If you are on android 9 on any phone, Go into your settings and goto sounds and put every slider up high and listen and see if the call volume beep slider is MUCH lower than the other sliders and reply to this please or if you have a fix tell me! it makes talking on the phone almost unusable with how quiet it is and is making me want to pull my hair out.
As proof its android 9 pie and NOT either of the phones I downloaded a secondary texting app called Textnow and placed a phone call through there and low and behold the speakerphone was loud and so was my headphones but it uses data and is not my actual phone number so not usable full time so something is happening with the actual phone software app on the phones and not a speaker defect. I have tried different phone apps too from the playstore but they all connect to the same dialer and therefore use the phone instead of textnow using their own dialer/phone software.
