Notification Sounds are low

[Superkitsune]

Over all the sound on the z3 is good. It's loud when turn up the volume on music and videos but for some reason the notifications tone is lower than when I select it to preview. I did check the audio settings and made sure the notification Sounds are at max. The clear audio etc. And it's seems like it's just a few notches to low. Anyone notice this.

If you are in the sound settings and are previewing the tones I can tell they are much louder but when I choose one and save it as my tone it's lower in volume.

This might be a dumb suggestion but 

settings > sound > volumes > is the ringtone/notifications 100%?

[Superkitsune]

I already checked that. It's 100

Perhaps the preview sound (music, movies,etc) seems a lot louder bc the sound come from both speakers, and when you get a notification its only through the loud speaker.

I tested it both on the preview and actually messages by sending sms to myself. I covered the bottom speaker and then I covered the top. They both give off sound but it's fact that the preview seems to be louder than the actual notification.

You should let Xperia Care know about this issue

Sadly there is no solution for this. I descovered im not the only one with this problem, apparently it was and still is a problem on the Z2. 

No fix. Xperia Care is useless. We will have to wait for Sony to relaese an update thats if they even know this problem exsists. They have a track record of ignoring vital bugs and flaws in thier xperia phones. Good phone. Im just glad that the touch screen, proxmitiy sensor etc are a thing of the past with the Z3.

I raise the ringtone to max plus vibration but still missing many calls,, I was on htc it has 2 large speakers plus strong vibration,, this is a critical defect causes loss of emergency and important calls
