Ringtone Volume on WM6 ROMs doesn't work

[mfrazzz]

Wizard Model: 8125
G3 or G4: G3
IPL / SPL: 2.26
WM6 ROM: Faria Vanilla (beta)
Does the Volume setting change your ringtone volume? No

I'm pretty sure I've seen this in all WM6 roms I've tried (MBE, mUn, Faria "the real thing", NotTooSmart Vanilla, XPlore 1.1, and Faria Vanilla Beta)... Changing the volume for the ringtone on WM6 roms has no effect when the phone actually rings. While I can use the slider to change the ringtone volume (and the 'dink" sound it makes while adjusting it changes volume like it did on WM5) but when the phone actually rings, its always the same volume (whether the slider is on the next to the bottom volume setting or on the loudest setting). Basically I've had to resort to turning the sound off or just using vibrate mode when I'm in places where I don't want a loud ringtone to go off since I can't turn it down. This works, but isn't a good solution IMO.

If I go to Settings > Personal > Phone > Phone, and play the ring tone from there, the volume here is correct based on the slider setting (same with the volume for games and other programs, the volume appears correct based on the slider). This issue only seems to impact the actual ringing of the phone when it plays the ringtone. Its always the same volume.

Have others noticed this? I'd like to use this thread to try to determine the issue and solve this if possible.

Please post the following so we can look for patterns:

Do you mean Faria's "the real thing" or the AKU 3.3 with Crossbow icons and themes? What does your rom show in Start > Settings > System > Device Information for the ROM and Protocol Version?

So by testing, you changed the volume and called your phone to hear the ringtone I assume? And it definetly changed volume? (sorry just making sure we are both on the same page).

No worries on being a noob (we all were at one time ;))... All information is good (especially if I can figure out why this doesn't work for me).

Im just confirming you got this rihgt so bear with me here. When on the Today screen, when u move the hardware slider, u get 2 sliders on screen, to the left is ppc volume slider, the second one is ringtone slider. Which many people confuse for incall volume slider, which is only availiable while in call..
So tap the volume putton on the today screen top bar, and adjust the slider to teh right, ur ringtone volume should change.

:eek: No Way! I could have sworn under WM5 the one on the left did the ringtone volume... Yep, just tried it and this worked... :o

Man, just learned something new. I thought the one on the right was the in call volume control. Geez...

Thanks a ton Mr. Burrito for catching that. Was driving me up the wall.
