Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / March 2004VX4400 ringtone volume
Is it just me or is the ringtone volume very low? (set at the hgihest level). I miss a lot of calls as result. I've only used Motorolas before, startac and V60, and the volume was definitely a lot higher. I'm referring to the ringtones that come with the phone. I've tried ringtones with GIN and a disk I bought from ebay, and they're even worse. Does anyone know of a loud ringtone? Or should I take my phone in to VZW for them to look at? > Is it just me or is the ringtone volume very low? (set at the hgihest > level). I miss a lot of calls as result. My wife and I have the VX10 which are similar. On ours, the ring volume is OK when the cases are closed. But when they're open, the ring is very quiet. Doc That is the main reason I returned my 4400 and bought a V60s. I could not hear the 4400 if it was under a coat or in a noisy environment. The V60s is plenty loud.

Maybe you need to play with the settings? My vx4400 has the loudest ringtone I have ever heard from a cellphone. The vx4400 has an outside speaker which helps even more. The only tones I couldn't hear when I got the phone were voicemail and SMS. The defaults are just a feeble beep. I changed them to another tone to solve that. >Maybe you need to play with the settings? My vx4400 has the loudest ringtone >I have ever heard from a cellphone.

I changed them to >another tone to solve that. I don't understand why some say the 4400's ringtones are too low. On MEDIUM, on my phone, the darn thing can almost wake up the neighbors! I haven't yet set it on HIGH...I'm afraid it'll blow out the speaker. Mike If mine had been like that, I'd have kept it. Jim > >Maybe you need to play with the settings?

"Killfiles are the greatest invention since sliced sex." - Ed Rice in alt.fan.dave_barry > Is it just me or is the ringtone volume very low? It's just you :). The ringbones on the 4400 are well known to be about the loudest on the market. Something is wrong. I'm not sure what though. I leave my 4400 set on the lowest volume ringtone, and it is still three or four times louder than the VX1 that I also have. -Frank >> Is it just me or is the ringtone volume very low? > >It's just you :).

I >leave my 4400 set on the lowest volume ringtone, and it is still three or >four times louder than the VX1 that I also have. Maybe it's a different story for different production runs of the 4400. Like you, my 4400 ringtones are very, very loud. If I put it at full volume, it's not only distorted, it's enough to blow me out of my chair if I'm not paying attention! ;) On a regular basis, I never, ever set my ringtones higher than MEDIUM... Mike I have a brand new 4400B and it is extremely loud! I was able to hear it ringing in my ski jacket pocket while skiing down Mt Hood this last weekend! If you cover the external speaker it is much quieter. I don't suppose some people have covers over the speaker or stuff plugging the hole? -Eric > >> Is it just me or is the ringtone volume very low? > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Mike > I have a brand new 4400B and it is extremely loud!

I don't suppose some > people have covers over the speaker or stuff plugging the hole? Scotch tape works. Custom ringtone also works. It is not just him! I have a VX4400 - Frimware v5 and a VX4400b - Firmware v10 Both of them have very soft ring tones (all of them). I have to keep the phone on vibe or I miss every call... I guess there is a bug in the phone or something. I love the phone, but the ring volume sucks!

The only time I had a problem with volume was a ringer I paid for via GIN. It was soft compared to the rest. If I set it on m.high or high for that ringer, the others were WAY TOO loud.

My problem is that Low is too loud where I work (school library). It's adequate in my coat pocket in the car with the heater blasting and both commercial and ham radios chattering. (However, I loaded in a midi I found on the web and couldn't hear it on high.)

We appreciate your cooperation. Thank you General Manager - flyer distributed to all guests at a Japanese hotel I've noticed some of the midi tones I've downloaded are low.. I don't think there is anything we can do.. It's that the recording is made low. I'd like to see the answer to that also, if anyone has any other idesa==as I have heard you can edit the MIDI ringtone and turn up the volume of the individual note channels. This is all I know... -Eric > I've noticed some of the midi tones I've downloaded are low.. I don't think > there is anything we can do.. It's that the recording is made low.
