When I set a custom ringtone, the first 1-2 seconds of the song fade in.
If your ringtone has a bit of silence as it starts then you won't notice it.
The fading is not present in the settings menu, but only when a call comes in.
Please test and let me know.
Thank you
I have the same question too
Still got the "problem", to my luck though... used in ears with too high ringer volume and took the call fast enough ^^
You cannot technically call this a problem. It is done intentionally by samsung. What I am wondering is why it isn't configurable like it was in previous samsung phones i owned (like the TouchWiz F480)
For those who do not know, the fading is added so that the ringtone doesn't blast your ears deaf if a call comes in right after you finished your last one (unless if you are using a headset, the phone will be right next to your ear at that moment).
well the feature is crap. It should have option whether we want this feature or not instead of forcing us on it.
Thank you

Thank you Samsung for avoiding staining my shirt with brain fragments... my dog is also very thankful!
samsung should provide setting to turn on/off this ascending ringtone.
Perhaps they should provide the option.. but I personally think this "feature" is good. Especially since I got tinnitus, and hence take all precautions to protect my hearing from future damage.
any solutions ?
i have the same issue on my galaxy s
While some people think its a good "feature", others do not. I'd rather have this feature disabled like most people out there, so we can have those extra 2 seconds to hear the phone ringing from our pockets.
... Its not like you're holding the phone to your ear ALL the time!! Even when you're not doing anything. Cause if you are, then you have a problem!!

I have posted a bug with the rear speaker and the volume control. On my unit, when you turn this feature on, the volume is very loud. Even if you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, the volume is less, but still to loud. In a discussion with HTC today, they had no answer as to why this is happening. They indicated that when you turn down the volume to the lowest setting, it should mute. They pointed out that in WM6 there is no settings tab for setting the rear speaker volume as in WM5. Has anyone else tried this feature?
I don't have this problem.
But it doesn't mute though when i use the roll switch on the left side of the kaiser to lower the volume, it does decrease the volume to a minimum, but is NOT muted completely. (that's not a problem for me.. if i don't want to hear the rear speaker, i don't activate them ).

Ditto the only time I use the rear speaker is if I want to hear it.....If I don't I don't use it.

Hi
When using the speaker phone and turning down the volume, even on the lowest setting it isn't off completely. This makes absolute sense as if you are on a call using the speaker phone having no sound at all, well what is the point of being on the call in the first place?
When playing sound elsewhere, i.e. not in a call turning it down completely does mute it.
Your particular issue seems to be the sound doesn't go quiet enough for you, maybe HTC can change this in future firmware. I expect the complaints they get most often is it isn't loud enough to annoy people even more with silly ring tones!
Regards
Phil
"silly ring tones!"
Ha, that should be a song

this is my pet hate
the number of ar$eholes who play music through the speaker on their phones - i nearly kill someone every day on the bus to work - one day im going to bludgeon one to death with my kaiser
im sitting inside now and theres some prick outside in his nova doing his bit to deny me of any peace - im gonna lose it and go vigilante pretty soon
I've had my AT&T banded N1 (with Rogers in Canada) for nearly 2 weeks now and I've been waiting to make sure everything works properly before I potentially give up my warranty by unlocking it. One thing that has been bugging me though is the call quality.
Everyone raves about how clear the call quality is on these things, but based on my phone I don't really agree. When no one is talking the line is dead silent (so silent that I almost think that the call has dropped), but when the other person begins to talk a light static or crackling background noise starts and once they finish talking it goes away and is completely silent again. If the static was there all the time I might not even notice it, but since it stops and starts during pauses in the conversation it really stands out. This happens on both the handset ear piece and with the headphones that came with the phone.
Has anyone else noticed this? If it's normal so be it, but if not then I might as well try and get it fixed before I do anything.
I don't have the at&t version but that does not sound normal.
Crackling is normally a sign of a speaker problem but I wouldn't think the headphones would also produce it.
seems i have the same issue...
i havent noticed any noise like this, but i will go test it and see if i have it too.
It's the speaker, for some reason the Nexus One comes with a slightly-too-loud speaker volume setting built in and you need to turn the incall volume down one notch from max. At least that solved my problem, hope this works for you!
have just called Google Tech Support and the guy suggested me to blow into the earphone couple of times and see if it helps
if not, do a hard reset
if not, call for warranty...
Since I get this noise in both the handset and ear phone speakers at all volumes I have to assume the problem is with my radio.
It's too much of a pain to get warranty work done outside of the US so I'm just going to learn to ignore it.
Does anyone know how to turn off the increasing volume for the ringtone, i just want it full at first ring

Im curious about this too. I've noticed that it "increases" with everything though; notifications, alarms and even playing youtube videos. I wonder if this is a bug to be fixed at some point.

I don't think it's a bug. It is standard behavior on Moto phones. Although it annoys me too.

Really? Granted, I havent had a Moto phone since the original Atrix but I dont remember it happening on that. I dont necessarily care that it increases on ringtones or alarms, its mostly for maybe a half second. The problem is notification tones that are about half a second long that i dont hear.
I love this feature, I hate sudden loud ringtone.

I agree, I kinda like this feature too. Just some food for thought guys - the speakers on this phone are pretty powerful. The gradual escalating volume might be a measure to ensure that the speakers don't blow out.

I too want first ring to be at the setting I choose, not gradual.

If saving the speakers from blowing might be reason this is done, then why isn't it applied to alarms, youtube etc?

I'm not sure, that's a pretty good question. I might be wrong, but maybe Google assumed that 1) YouTube videos are watched at a user-defined volume anyway, so why mess with it, and 2) there are apps that have volume escalation for alarms, and we'll install them if we want them.
Honestly, I have no idea. All I know it's that 1) there are many times when my ring tone volume was all the way up, and an incoming call would be a shock to me, when it started blaring, and 2) my girlfriend is loud as hell, so it's nice to have my phone controlling the initial volume of her voice, lol.

Considering just about every app that has sound doesn't do this I doubt its to prevent anything.
Most phone besides moto have ascending ringtones etc. I'm sure there will be a way to get rid of it eventually
When the ringtone/alarm/notification starts, does anyone else have a brief, less than half second, slightly louder tone play? It almost sounds like a pop before my ringer starts to fade in, but you can hear it's the beginning of the tone, just slightly louder then it goes quiet, and fades in
Edit: just did a little testing, it doesn't always happen, it seems like I could force it if I opened a game (clash of clans) for a couple seconds, then stopped and locked the phone.. then when the ringer starts it does the brief less than half second at a med-low volume, then goes to low and starts ramping up. The next call the ringer behaves normally, starts at low and ramps up.

yes, i get that sometimes.
ok cool, just got the phone last Wed, and with some of the quality issues that have been popping up, I'm trying to rule out any defects before it's too late lol.. great phone so far, just a few weird quirks like this, hopefully they'll get them ironed out in a timely manner.
I don't mind it on my call ringtone, but it is really annoying with my facebook messenger or my text messages. It also doesn't help that if the notifications aren't full volume then I can't hear anything; because the front facing speakers are always up against my leg in my pocket.
Any word on a work around for this yet?
There is an app in the Play store called "disable increasing ring" and it works great

Tried it, not working on my Rooted, unlocked Nexus 6
Any devlopments? I cant stand this "feature" (mainly for alarms).
bump again. Would love to get rid of it. It even does a gradual volume increase when switching from handset to speakerphone on a call. And that's just silly.
Still no solution to this miserable "feature"? Drives me nuts.....
Does anyone else here have a problem with the ringtones and alarms starting out in super low volume and gradually increasing in volume? Is this a lollipop bug?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
it's not a lollipop bug, it's a Nexus 6 bug. ringtones and notifications don't do this on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0.1.
it's a feature.
I'm pretty sure this is a feature. I'm on mobile, but if someone wants to research Lollipop changes, I'm sure it's somewhere in there. If it isn't it might be a bug.
I know I actually like it for things like alarms in the morning. I wake up less ragey.
Seriously, it's a feature. Apparently it isn't optional like it was on my S4.
What kills me is the fact that switching from regular handset during calls to speakerphone also has the delay in volume, which is just... really really dumb. I have to say "ok wait wait hold on a sec .... okay, yeah okay, keep going" every time I hit speakerphone because I can't hear anything for several seconds. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to delay a speakerphone during a call?
This is a bug in android in Nexu 6. All other Nexus are just fine. I Hate it too. We have to wait for na update.
It's not a feature cause even in games like clash of clan or Brother in arms, after a while (like just 1 hour of idling => No notification or call so basicly no things that used sound) go to one game and you'll hear the sound going from low to high..
It's clearly a bug ! and a annoying bug !
I actually like it because it's so quiet at first, nice at work or grocery store where you don't want instant loud. Vibration isn't so quiet. It'd be really nice to be able to adjust both separately. I hope Google gives us the choice.

This x 1000. If that's seriously a "feature," that's an even bigger fail than it simply being a bug.
Someone on another thread stated that this is a bug that was caught during the soak test but not fixed for launch. Take it with a grain of salt.

After some of the other answers in this thread, it gives me hope this bug will be fixed in 5.0.2 or whatever the next update is.
This is a shame, indeed. If I had read about this before, I probably wouldn't have purchased this phone! My previous one (Gnote II) had the same issue/feature, but installing the free app "Disable Increasing Ring" took care of it. Unfortunately, it has no effect on the N6. What did the developers think about, when implementing this crap without the choice to turn it off? Will I be forced to install a different ROM, just to get a normal ringtone behaviour?
This truly SUCK!
:crying:
So i called someone just to check the call quality in both ear piece as well as speaker phone. But then i realized that it took a brief moment to activate the loud speaker. First i thought it might be a proximity sensor issue. But after testing it few more times, i found out that proximity's got nothing to do with it. It was always working as intended after i press the loud speaker button. But it always takes a solid 2 seconds to activate. Might just be a minor bug that can be fixed with a software update. And yes i did try clearing cache and recent apps and did try rebooting afterwards. It's still taking 2 seconds to activate.
I can confirm this behavior. I think what it's actually doing is fading the volume up when you switch to speaker, which makes it seem like it takes a few seconds to switch over. The reason I think this is because it seems to do the same thing with ringtones... when my phone starts to ring, it quickly increases the volume over the first second or two of the ring. My guess is some Moto black magics.

Ya i guess that's definitely some moto sorcery going on there lolz. And i guess this thread didn't pick any traction because these days, not many people use their phone for calling purpose anyways?
