Ringtone volume

[Guest zarquon]

The ring tone volume was queried on the smartphone site, I have a possible answer.

If you tap on the speaker you get two volume controls, one for general PDA clicks and bleeps and one for incoming call ring.

If you are previewing the sounds available under the 'Add Ring tone' icon they play at the PDA volume setting.

It had me going for a while :?

Also as the ringtones are WAV based the volume level of the file itself is important. You can load the WAV into Windows Sound Recorder and boost the volume by 25%.

It also seems abit odd, but the volume level in Media Player also effects the sound levels. I have Snow Patrol - run as a ring tone, wma converted from mp3.

I push the sound up to max for the phone, but it was still kinda.... quiet for a ringtone. I went into media player and pushed the sound to max, the ringtone volume also increased.

Weird..... unless the phone uses media player to player the ringtone when the phone rings.

Thats because you are changing the devices master volume.

Hi, the ringtone files on my M2000 seem to be in WMA format not wav! Is it still possible to boost the volume? I'm getting really sick of missing calls through not hearing the phone ring! I've done a google search but can't seem to find anything...
