Mywife just bought a new iPhone 13 a week ago, ringtone is hard to hear even ringtone sound and haptics is set to the loudest setting. Notification sounds r louder than ringtone. Why? Is the iPhone defective or just a software issue?

None of these worked for me. Phone was set to top ringer volume and side button volume, but still no sound when calling the phone. The answer for me was in "sound and haptics" under settings. Something moved the volume to zero (not me)--must have been an update. Very frustrating as I have missed a lot of important calls because of it. It also changed my new voicemail tone!!


my wife's iPhone 13 iOS is 16.5.1. Up to date. Restart does not help. Ringtone, sound and haptic have been set to maximum. When I call her, her ring tone can barely be heard especially when she is outside of her home, like in a store. Is this a hardware issue? Where can I get help to resolve this?


The upgrade to iOS 17 re-enabled attention aware features, and I disabled it and Face ID again, but ringtone volumes are still completely borked again since media volume now also controls ringtone volume.


Although the ringtone volume is up in settings, this might be due to the volume being lowered on the phone. Try calling your wife and as the call is ringing, have your wife press the volume up button. Does the volume appear to be turned up all the way on the slider that appears? If so, you can lock the ringer volume in and prevent it being changed with the side buttons by disabling Change with Buttons if you'd like. Below guidance is from Adjust the volume on iPhone - Apple Support.


Also, check if your wife is looking at the phone while you call. This new feature called Attention Awareness will lower the volume when the camera sees the owner looking at it. Turn Attention Aware features on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support


Did you checked the psychical switch to turn on the silent mode is in the right position? I was also having the same issue the ringtone wasn't working. I turned on the silent mode once and then forgot to turn it off.


One final wrinkle - the Alert Info handling in FreePBX/Asterisk was changed rather significantly about 18 months ago, which screwed up a s-ton of working phone systems. If the articles you are using for information are older than that, this could be biting you as well.


Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the extra details to make sure my head is around the way FreePBX handles the calls. I think I understand it the proper way, but I am still learning the system.

To clarify, I am simply trying to get the alerts on the handsets to sound like an incoming call alerts the recipient at their desk with a sound one would expect. Currently, the incoming alert sounds like the handset suddenly has the speakerphone activated and is now making an outgoing call.

I think I have adjusted all the alert settings that I can find, but I will dig back through just to make sure.

Thanks also for the note about the major changes over the past 18 months. This will help me eliminate false leads as I work through it again.


I have the audio output set to PC and the sound of games is on my PC through my headphones but all my notifications/texts/ringtones from calls are on the phone? Am I not able to have all the sound come through on Dex and use my PC input and output for calls? I always miss calls and texts/notifications because I am on my PC and was hoping DEX could resolve this.


I press a button and I want to play a ringtone/alarm sound. I could not find an easy, straightforward sample. Yes, I already looked at Alarm clock source code... but it is not straightforward and I cannot compile it.


Your example is basically what I'm using. It never works on the emulator, however, because the emulator doesn't have any ringtones by default, and content://settings/system/ringtone doesn't resolve to anything playable. It works fine on my actual phone.


For the future googlers: use RingtoneManager.getActualDefaultRingtoneUri() instead of RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(). According to its name, it would return the actual uri, so you can freely use it. From documentation of getActualDefaultRingtoneUri():


Returns the Uri for the default ringtone of a particular type. Rather than returning the actual ringtone's sound Uri, this will return the symbolic Uri which will resolved to the actual sound when played.


I don't know when this issue started because I usually have it on vibrate/silent, but last night I put my phone on normal mode with the ringer set to 100% and yet when someone called me at 3am because they were in a car accident I couldn't hear it. They called me 10 times but my phone barely made a whisper. I can hear the ringtone but it sounds like its at 5% not 100%. It doesn't matter if I set it to 90 or 100, but the ringtone is very quiet.


anyone know what the heck is going on? Why would my phone do that? I've had Android phones since the very first readily available one (the tmobile G1) and the only times I missed an important call was when I stupidly had the phone on silent mode. but this time its the phone that let me down...I didn't have it set on silent.

Now I have family members upset at me and I can't trust this phone to do something as simple as RING when someone calls you. The most basic function that phones have been able to do since the first cell phone came out and samsung has failed. But hey when I logged into this site the chime that asked if it was me was very loud and clear....so I guess you got something right, just not the basics.


@freeman93: I'm sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue. Please try heading to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Volume, and make sure that the Ringtone slider is at a suitable level. Now, head to the Phone app > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Settings > Call alert and ringtone > Vibrate while ringing > On. The vibration against a flat surface can be quite loud, and can help to alert you to any incoming calls if you're asleep.


For example, when I'm in my car with the music blaring super loud, I still want to be able to hear it. And afterwards when I am at school and it is super quiet, and my phones ringer is still on, I don't want some super loud ringtone to bring a bunch of attention to me.


I used to have a tone sweep from one of the convolution plug ins as my ring tone. It worked really well because it was a chirp, followed by a few seconds of silence, and then a tone sweep low to high. The chirp and pause gave me time to answer it if i was in a room, and the tone sweep cut through when i was in noisy locations. The only caveat is that the tone sweep is very annoying if it gets that far without you answering it.


If you wanna blast away in the car or being in a dense crowd and still hear the phone, there is always the option to fire away a square-tone at full blast in the vicinity around 1 to 3 KHz. But at least in the crowd there's a good chance the ones around you will hate you. Immensely. That's where the human hearing peaks, and also the range infants like to scram in. You can tweak the tone to just barely break through the music and/or crowd, but playing at school...I'm not joking when I say this: Make sure that noone around you have issues with aggression, because this WILL piss people off to a degree you can not imagine. It's EXTREMELY painful to hear at the level we're talking here for some people, especially people with between mild to and heavier hyperacusis, and really really annoying for most other.


At school, on the other hand, there are neither no need nor desire for breaking through anything, so here we need a very different approach. Here, pink noise is technically speaking a very good choice, but it can also be a wee bit too anonymous if you're unlucky. The keyword here is having an as flat and wide a range as possible, and if you make a ringtone from a song, it's not a bad idea to lower the rage between 1-3 KHz somewhat to make it less distracting. Most phones don't go below like 250-300Hz, but lower frequencies are good for keeping thing softer, so raising the lower end is also a good idea. It might get a bit muddier as you can't reach the really good stuff, but it will also be less distracting. Just don't overdo it.


My sincere advice to you regarding this is: Go with the soft option, and buy an external more powerful vibrator instead. There's a wide selection I've seen over the years, and one of the easiest ones I've seen so far was a wireless one that just plain reacted to closely nearby signals. I had mine around the neck. I've also seen several that can be connected directly to the phone and are run by battery.


The tone I've used for years has been a tune that started with a rhythmic high-hat... instantly recognizable once it's locked into your head. With four bars before the melody comes it, it's enough time to mute or answer while the tone is still pretty quiet and unobtrusive. Then another four bars with a mild melody, before finally a bit of lyrics.


Check it out... you'll recognize the song. I think I got it started where my tone starts. Frankly, it's been so long since I've listened to the song on actual speakers, I hear some low end in the clip below that I haven't heard in years.


I added a cut mp3 (from a song) notification sound to the phone only to find out it wasn't the tone I thought it was. How do I remove it? There doesn't seem to be a way at least from the notification sounds screen.


Hi Sowena and welcome to the community forum!

Which option did you choose for your SD card, either extending internal storage, or as removable/external? Are you aware of the problems associated with extending internal storage?


Now you can use the Android UI again to change the sound settings as com.android.soundpicker will no longer crash.

Remember to only use the soundpicker to set your ringtones. Otherwise you might need to do the whole ceremony again


If your iPhone is not ringing for Dialpad calls, there are several possible reasons and solutions. Firstly, check if notifications are muted by swiping a Dialpad notification to the left and tapping "Options" to ensure that notifications are not muted. Additionally, verify that the iPhone's notification settings for Dialpad are enabled, including Background App Refresh, Notifications, Lock Screen notifications, and Immediate Delivery. Check the sound and haptic settings to ensure that the ringer volume is not set to 0 and that the ringtone is audible. Make sure Do Not Disturb mode is off and that unknown callers are not silenced in the phone settings. Disable WiFi Assist if it is causing missed notifications. Finally, check your own behavior, such as unlocking the phone or using headphones, which may silence call notifications.
