ring volume problem in 3660

well try making a new profile and set the volume to max .. if ur not using default nokia ringtones then u can buy ringtone studio and increase the volume of ur custom ringtone tru there .. hope that helps ..

i don't think i can create a new profile... i noticed that if i talk with the sopeaker phone it effects the ringing volume.

check if you are using an MP3 player program such as Ultra MP3. I have the same problem and I guess it is responsible for the problem.

to say the truth the phone is brand new and i still didn't buy a cable to connect it so i got nothing installed on it. it's the same way it came out of the factory. i saw that someone had the same problem and the solution was to activate the vibrating when ringing. i don't like these solutions and i wonder how come nokia released phone with such a basic problem.

err .. well sorry for that .. i ment changing a profile .. u have profiles like general , outdoor, pager ... etc .. the profile General cannot be modified .. the default .. but the rest all after general can be changed .. so y dont you change teh name , ringing volume .. switch on teh vibration alert n try it out ..

Yeah and maybe its set to ascending?

I can assure you that I checked all that.
Again, I found a post in this forum yesterday or the day before where someone talked about this very issue. I am not sure if he had a 3660 or 3650 but they are pretty much the same so doesn't really matter... Anyway, he wrote that sometimes his phone is rining in a normal volume and sometimes it rings low, the only solution that was offered to him was to activate the vibrating alert as well and that way the ringing volume always stays high. I did that and it works but I don't like this solution because I don't like my phone to vibrate and when it's on a table it's even worse because it makes annoying noises 😊

As far as I know I have the most recent firmware version and I even did a reset to the phone after backing up all the info, but the only thing that helped is to engage the vibrating alert. I should be getting the IR cable any day now so I will download programs from the internet and install them. I'll try the one that was posted here, increasing the volume overall is not such a bad idea anyway because it's not loud enough anyway.
Maybe updating the OS could solve this, if that's something that can be done (have no idea).

nope you cant update ur OS 😊 sadly ur stuck with it but well u shure can update the firmware .. search the forums ..

Just wished they had an update feature for d symbain OS 🙄

My 3650 is about a year old and has the exat same problem.

I noticed that if the vibrator is switched on the ring is always loud.

I have done a lot to try and fix the prob
including:
double check all parameters within the profile
increase ringers volume with software
physically cut three small holes in the back of the phone (note the three lines above the cam, the speaker is behind em)

hope the vib feature solves the prob

P.S. I live in L.A. and travel to London a few times a year....I was so pleased with the most recent sim chip I bought ( O2 network) it came with free internet access for 30 days!

now I am checking the security cam in my office / checking my hotmail / weather and instant messaging with ease!

but imagine my jealousy when I see that my god-sister has a motorola V80 and my friend Johnny has a 9 month old nokia 6600

I think Im gonna pass on this one as well 😃 Im just gonna go with the housing replacements but not punching holes on my phone.
😃

i have the same problem sometimes in my 3650, but if you gos to menu / recorder
/ options/ settings and chage the default speaker to loudspeaker.
If the handset options it�s on the sound its lower....
hope this helps!

I have the exact same problem on my Nokia Ngage. I have resigned to keeping the vibrator on.. no other solution

Hi All,

i have spoken to so many 3650 owners and everyone was facing the same problem.... seems like

1. low volume even at max volume
2. ringer not ringing at times (resulting in missed calls)
3. sudden change in volume
4. ringer going bust

is a feature packed with nokia 36XX range

Bear with it guys - or upgrade to 6600
I heard a guy play a movie on his 6600 on front seat of bus where i was sitting in last rows and could still hear it loud and clear... with my 3650 you have to put on loud speaker and put to you ear if you dont want to hear it all
😞

if someone comes up with some technical and not any software related solution to this please post here .... i will do anything to increase the volume...

how about amplifiers 😉
