low ringtone volume

[AlanTang]

When choosing the ringtone from the setup menu. The preview sound was large enought. However, during call-in the ringtone is about 70-80% of the sound compare with the preview. It happen on notification tone!

It didn't happen on Xperia Z.

Any comment?

You need to raise the volume in ringtone and notifications.The preview has to do with media volume.

I have make sure I set the volume is max already!

Seems the preview sound of the ringtone, (When I choose ringtone from setup) is larger than the actual what the incoming call.

In this case,check the device at a sony service.

that is because when you play the ringtone both the speaker works but during a call or a notification the bottom speaker works,,,same happens with my Sony Xperia Z2

[AlanTang]

Ohh, that's means nothing can change, right?

[_alexdon_]

Yes,I think that is how it works.

[KazIRahman]

nothing can be done unless sony thinks of it...

I'm not sure but i believe this is for safety reasons so that you can't get a high volume ringtone directly in your ear.

@Rickard surly if that was the case if you were listening to music on max and raised the phone to your ear the proximity sensor would shut the music off. Otherwise it totally defeats the safely aspect of what you were saying? Because who puts a phone to their ear before answering it???

Seems like a daft safety feature.
