Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2005x497 ringtone volume
When my x497 is in the open position, the ringtone volume is minimized. When the phone is closed, the volume stays at high where I set it. Samsung says this is working as designed, wtf? If the phone rings when it is open you cannot hear it at all! Does anyone know of a rick to set the ringtone to high volume always, especially when it is flipped open? The one basic setting is overridden when the phone is flipped open, and the vol is on min when the phone is open. I am missing calls when I have the phone is in my car holder, this sux! Thanx, marx404 >When my x497 is in the open position, the ringtone volume is minimized. When I'm not using a car holder but same issue. It's because the earpiece speaker is used for the ring tone. If you had it to your hear, and it rang, you'd get a LOUD sound in your ear.. they don't want that. ...? so explain why if I accidentally press the side volume bar on the phone it will blast a ring tone in my ear? doesnt make sense. (& just for reference, my old x427 would maintain the ringtone volume when open, why change it?) marx404 >...? so explain why if I accidentally press the side volume bar on the phone >it will blast a ring tone in my ear? doesnt make sense.

This is why it's nice to have a 2nd speaker on the back of the phone for ringing (and speakerphone), like the Motorola V551.

For a ringer, yes, but having the speakerphone speaker on the back seems bizarre. I feel like I should turn the phone over so the speaker is pointed at me, or close it, like an old Nextel i500.

The technical advantage of having the speakerphone on the back is that it reduces the feedback coupling between speaker and mic. There is also no risk of having a speakerphone blast in your ear.
