Hello!
Is it possible to have slowly increasing ringtone volume like on alarms?

This app may or may not work. Reviews say it may not work on newer Android versions.
Otherwise, the only way to have this is with a custom ROM. Certain ROMs add an option for this to the sound settings. I can't recommend a specific ROM as I am on stock currently.
I think that's called ascending. Used to be on the Nokia..I reckon an app could do that. Maybe magisk.
Why not make a tasked profile for it?
Any phone call set ringer volume to 40%,wait X seconds, set 50%, wait X, set 60% wait etc
Just use Audacity and edit your sound file.

Sure. You should import the .wav file that corresponds to the mentioned alert in your PC to a wave editor and normalize it. If it is already normalized you should try to apply multiband compression to it and tweak the compression ratio of the frequencies that match the characteristics of your devices loudspeaker
Ok let me rephrase. Can i have my SMS tone like 100% Volume and the rest of the System Volume at 10%?
Yes. Still the same answer... shortly - you have to change the volume individually for each file by opening those files in an audio editor - the sms one louder and if it is already 100% then you need to make other ones softer. I am talking about the internal volume of the files. All the audio is played through the same wave device which is affected by a single system volume slider so there is surely no way to autoroute "recalled" wavs to a virtual buses with individual volume sliders. Maybe in the future... but this is more like in a pro audio playground already, I dont think this kind of consumer devices would ever support such a specific ground.
No its not a solution to reduce the volume of all system sounds and sounds of the applications, midis and whatever they use.
I think Photo Contacs Pro can do that...but i cant switch the phone silent with the regular volume control anymore...wich is something i like.
By now, there MUST be a way... I have searched and searched, ultimately concluding that either it isn't possible or hasn't been shared, so here goes:
I want to see if it is possible to make all volume controls in Android have about 20-30 levels. There simply has to be a way. Anyone keen enough to see if there may be a way to change the volume -/+ levels?
Sorry, I am not interested in any other apps nor having to open up a volume slider to get better control: The hardware buttons are there for a reason.
Google: 7 volume levels is simply retarded. When devices are now being used to listen to music, watch movies, YouTube, Netflix, etc. how can you suppose that only 7 levels of volume would do the trick?
Found one!
OK - So I found a variable in the build.prop file called
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps
which allows you to change the number of steps for the in-call volume slider. Now all I need to do is test out a bunch of other possible variations to see if I can achieve the same effect with the rest of the sliders. By default, my OG Droid is set to 7. I upped it to 20 and am amazed at the amount of control I have over the in-call volume at this point. I think, if I can, I will do this with all of the volume sliders!
I will keep you all updated if I find anything.

This sounds (no pun intended) interesting, by any chance is the in call volume louder? I would love to get my ear to hurt when on the phone. Then as least I can back down the volume. Right now I strain to here on my HTC DZ aka HTC Vision.
Not sure...

I will have to test that. I am not sure whether or not this actually makes anything louder. I'll let you know in a day or so after I bounce the settings back and forth a couple times.
Hello.
I was wondering if theres any way to change the default volume-control which the volume-buttons control?
Currently, and on all ROMs Ive tried, the default volume is set to Ringtone.
What that means is, if no sound is playing (like, you idle on the homescreen or whatever), pressing the volumebuttons changes the ringtone volume.
I always manage to press the volumbuttons by accident, changing the ringtone volume...
I thought it was just a matter of getting used to the rather sensitive buttons, but lately its started to become an issue.
Ive missed several calls because Ive managed to reduce the ringtone volume without noticing.
So, what I want is a way to change this default behavior to instead of changing the ringtone volume - change the media volume.
I personally have no reason to change the ringtone volume "quickly", and would much rather be able to quickly change the media volume - even if no media is playing.
I hope you understand what I mean, kinda hard to explain
My current ROM is DarkJelly CM10 Build 24 with stock CM10 kernel, and Id prefer not to move away from it - I like it
Anyone else noticed that the volume of the ringtones on this phone are mixed at a really high volume/decibel level? I turned the volumes all down to 1 tick above silent, and they're all still pretty loud. I can't seem to tell if its the phones speakers not having a quieter setting, or the notification sound mixes, being maxed out. I transferred the Neon alarm sound over from my Nexus 4, and that seemed to be able to be a little quieter. But to compare, the alarm volume for that sound on the Idol 3 was set to 1 tick above silent and was the same volume it seemed as my Nexus 4 on the same sound file at about 70%
Same here. For me especially the alarm volume is way too loud for early mornings where I don't want to wake up everyone in the house.
Same thing
Same thing here. I had before a Galaxy S4 with it was more easy to manage volume for all individuals event (alarm, notification, ring tone, music) now with me idol3 5.5 I only have 1 slider to control all
I have root my phone so if anyone have a solution I will take it.
You could use something like Tasker, Llama, or AutomateIt, among others, to turn the volume off altogether during the hours where it's a problem in your home. For example, you could set it to be silent from 10 pm to 9 am, but at whatever volume you prefer during the rest of the hours. That wouldn't address the issue where you feel like you can't get a low volume that you'd prefer, but it would save you from having to turn the volume all the way down, then back up again every day.
There are some ROMs that have more sophisticated sound mixers than stock Android provides. So maybe something along those lines might work. There's an audio driver/app called Viper that has a topic somewhere on XDA. Whether or not it would work well on this phone, I have no idea.
Idol 3 loud af
Yeah same problem guys. I got a solution for you. Edit the ringtones or notifications with sound editing software. You can lower the volume of the ringtone file and that should make it lower sounding.
Last few phone had little to no dev support, so I've been away from the root/rom game for awhile. Just picked up a Oneplus 9 and happy to see development going on.
My only complaint so far with this phone is that the system volume is tied to the ringer volume. I want to find a way to silence system sounds completely (things like beep when plugged in, beep with GA, beep with keyboard speech input, etc.). There may be several ways to go, and thought I would ask to see if anyone could put me on the right track (following list are things I've, more or less, done with past phones which had this same "feature")...
ROM suggestions that come with a separated system/ringtone volume?
Xposed mod which decouples or mutes system volume?
App which can mute or decouple system volume?
Root + a list of system sound files that can be zeroed out?
I am open to any suggestions, as long as I can get this fixed.
