Huawei Ascend P1 ringtone rising volume

[Paul1103]

Hi. I have recently received a Huawei P1 on a new 2 year contract and have set it up. I have noted that the ringtone starts off really quiet and then gradually increases in volume. This is a really annoying feature but I can't see how to get the volume to come on at max without the ramp. There's no setting I can see and I tried to upgrade the phone software but it tells me that its already at the most up to date status. Is this normal on the P1 and is there anyway I set it so it just rings normally. Its really starting to get to me and the thought of another 2years with the phone operating this way is pretty daunting.

Hi Paul1103,

Thanks for your post here.

So that we can look into this for you please can you confirm what version of the software your phone is currently running?

Hi james

I have put in the code to bring up the various bits of info for the phone. Under APKVersion Query I am seeing version 4.0.3 for the Android system. Is that the info you require? Paul

Hi James,

According to HiSuite (the pc program from Huawei) my phone version is V100R001C02B013. Paul

Hi Paul1103,

Thanks for the information. I’ve checked for you and you’re on the latest available version of firmware for the phone. I can also see you’ve asked this question on Huawei’s Facebook page but have yet to receive a reply. I’ve checked through the user manual and can’t see anything mentioning about changing the style of ringtone.

Have you considered extending how long the phone rings before it goes to Voicemail?

The time can be altered in 5 second steps and be set between 5 and 30 seconds long - so you can use 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 seconds.

* Enter * * 61 * 121 *10*
* then enter time between 5 -> 30
* then # send.

For example **61*121*10*25# SEND would set it at 25 seconds.

Thanks

I tried that **61*121*30#SEND fix but it just confirmed I d registered for call forwarding(?!) and made no difference to the amount of time the phone rings before going to voicemail (15 secs).

Any other ideas? This problem with the phone is a huge pain and makes me wish I d kept my old Nokia brick.

Hi Gillski,

Oops, Annie is right (thanks Annie), I did miss part of the code out. I’ve now adjusted it. If you can try again and let me know how you go on.

Thanks

It looks as though Andrew left out part of the code. To set delay to 30 sec, you need **61*121*11*30#SEND Hope that works!

Is final bit 10 or 11? Your help pages show 11, but you've amended above to 10. I'm in US at present, so experimenting would be expensive!

That's cracked it thanks Annie! I now have 30 seconds of Highway To Hell in which to hear the phone, rather than 15, of which the first 12 were barely audible. Still a shockingly poor oversight by the manufacturer though, and not related to the phone s overall max volume capability, which is much louder, eg when playing music files out loud.
