First ring low then sounds jump up - any fix for this?

**funkylogik** · 07-26-2012, 02:48 AM

sorry i missed this thread and posted one with same question. it should definately be optional. just hope enough people complain for it to be in next update. it ruins my ringtone

grr android is supposed to be about bein in control and samsung have to ruin it

I've been wondering about this. Thought something was messed up with the phone. I kinda like it. A gentle ringtone for about five seconds, which usually gives me time to answer the phone before it starts screaming at me at full volume.

Definitely think it should be an option though.

I saw your other thread, are you talking about a gradual fade up or are you talking about what I'm mentioning here where the first ring starts at a much lower volume then it suddendly jumps up to the volume you have set?

I ask because there is a setting for sounds to start low and slowly ramp up, like for the alarm for example so it wakes you more gently then a sudden burst of sound. That is a different thing and is an option that can be turned off. The ring volume jump however appears to be some form of bug.

This works for me:
1) Set volume in settings on Galaxy to lowest lewel (not loudless).
2) Install app: Escalating Ring from Play Store
3) mark in settings in app: 'The volume will start from the Start volume and increase.
And set settings in this to eg interval between volume increases to 5 sec and volume max to 7 ticks.

I use an app that changes the ring volume based on the phone position, and a side effect of it is that it corrects this low-then-high ringing of SGS3. You can give it a try and see if it works for you too:

Thanks for sharing that smart ringer control app man. That did the trick. I love making my own ringtones but that stupid ascending bug was really killing it for me.

Seems good. Can we use the Jelly Bean option to hide notifications for it? Would that keep it in memory or not?

EDIT
yeah, you can. I rebooted and the increasing ring is still disabled.

Although the notification icon is blank, it shoves other notifications over a space. Not an issue, but will take some getting used to.

This feature is available on feature phones but it has nothing to do with pockets. Which version do you have? Maybe its like the european version not being able to turn of shutter noise.

I bought my S3 about a month ago from T-Mobile and I have that going on with my ring tone also. The first part is low and then jumps to full volume. My son has another kind of phone and a different carrier and his does that too. He told me it's supposed to be that way so as to give you a little warning that you have a call coming in. Actually, I don't mind it.
By the way, is anyone else having trouble with the S3 volume being too low? It's barely adequate for me and I notice that my company work phone (a CrapBerry) is way louder by far. There is no way I could use the GPS feature on the S3 because I'd never be able to hear the directions without having the phone pressed to my ear. I've even installed an app called Volume + but that makes no appreciable difference that I can tell.

**Almeuit** · 11-06-2012, 07:23 AM

My guess would be the extra volume in pocket.. Wouldn't surprise me if the phone just always thought it was in a pocket :P
