iPhone X Ring Volume Low

Nope, wasn’t looking at phone. As I said in my previous post, it was on the end table. I was out of the room and there were people within 10 feet of the phone. Ring was inaudible although volume was on high and side switch wasn’t on silent. After making the adjustment another forum person suggested it worked.

iPhone X lowers ringer volume if its face detection algorithm determines that you’re looking at the phone, in which case an audio cue is no longer needed.

It should ring normally when the screen is off, or you’re not looking at it.

Hi,

This is a feature of iPhone X, please see this Apple article - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208245

If you experience this, it's because your device is seeing you make eye contact with it, thus not needing to alert you at full volume. If you prefer to be alerted at full volume all the time, you can turn off Attention Awareness.

I hope this helps.

You may not need to go into accessibility to get around the issue - mine got lowered after restoring my settings from my previous phone and I could no longer control the ringer volume from the side buttons.

I re-enabled the ringer volume control with the side keys by going into Settings/Sounds and Haptics, and under Ringer and alerts, I enabled Change with Buttons, then raised the volume manually to the level I wanted as a default.

Yes even I had the same issue. After a lot of trials & errors, I got it. All you need to do go to

Accessibility> Face ID & Attention> Attention aware features> Slide off the button

(if you slide off this button may TrueDepth camera will check for attention before dimming the display or lowering the volume of alerts)

Now the ring volume is full and high and reflecting as well. Enjoy now.

Friends here is the answer for your question.

iPhone X ring volume very low and how to fix?

Have you noticed the iPhone X ringer volume goes from loud to low? Often iPhone X users notice that the iPhone X ringtone will sound very quiet after initially sounding loud, but despite pressing the volume up buttons they can’t get the iPhone X ringtone to sound loud again, it’s just stuck quiet. Don’t fret and there’s nothing wrong with your iPhone X for exhibiting this behavior, in fact this is actually a feature.

If your iPhone X rings loud but then gets quiet and stays quiet, but you’d rather have the iPhone X ringer volume stay loud all the time when getting a call, read on to learn the proper settings adjustment to stop this behavior. The end result will be that iPhone X sounds loud on incoming calls all the time and the iPhone X will stop quieting the ringtone volume itself.

What causes the iPhone X ringtone volume to be very low after initially sounding loud? It’s actually a Face ID feature. And yes, this ring sound volume lowering capability applies even if Face ID is not being used on iPhone X to unlock or authenticate the device, and much like how Animoji uses the Face ID camera to scan your face even if you aren’t using Face ID authentication, the front camera for face scanning is active for other features too, and that includes the ringtone volume.

How to Stop iPhone X Ring Volume Going Quiet

You can disable the attention awareness feature that scans your face and determines you’re looking at the iPhone X, which in turn lowers the ring volume on the device. With this feature turned off, the iPhone X will stop lowering the ring volume of calls automatically when you pick up the iPhone and look at it.

1. Open the “Settings” app on the iPhone
2. Go to the “Face ID & Passcode” section
3. Locate the “Attention Aware Features” option and turn the switch to the OFF position
4. Exit out of Settings

You can confirm this works by getting an incoming call on iPhone X, it should now be loud as your settings were set to beforehand and no longer quiet the call to a very low volume automatically.

Another helpful step is to make sure your iPhone ringer volume is turned up all the way to the loudest setting, since sometimes users have inadvertently made the iPhone volume low

iPhone X Ring Volume Low For Incoming Call? Here is Why

i too had this problem so I took my phone into the apple shop, they replaced it straight away at the genius bar, it might be an idea to share this information with them so that they are aware that a simple change of the settings solves this problem. Full marks though to the guy who served me on the GB as they changed it without hesitation great customer service

It seems as soon as you pick up your phone the ringer volume drops. Set your ringer volume up in settings. Put you phone on a table and call it from another phone. The ringer is loud for as long as it sits on the table. Pick it up and the volume drops down. Same thing happens when the phone is in a pocket, in a carrier, in a purse. Loud ring until you handle the phone ... then the volume drops down. Your I-Phone X senses you have handled the phone. I discovered this by trial and error. Hope it works for you!

I had same issue. But what I found is that it may actually be iPhones feature. When you are holding it in your hand the ringtone goes quiet since iPhone assumes you are already aware of the call. When placing phone on the table and calling the ring is loud. Once taken in hand it goes quiet. You should try it. Maybe its the case for you as well. Good luck and Merry Christmas

My volume issue was with the camera shutter sound. side button only takes photos when camera app is open. shutter volume is controlled by speaker phone volume or a video's volume. For whatever reason, those 3 volumes are tied together.

Had same issue.. what fixed it for me was turning up ringer volume in settings and also turning on control ringer volume with button. Now that it’s working I’m going to turn off button control, I like having them separate. So I have 1 consistent ringer volume. Having the volume default set so low that you miss calls makes no since. Apple should consider the large affluent population that is over 45 whose hearing may not be as good as the inexperienced millennial that came up with the initial volume setting. Finally the lower volume based on facial recognition; Your facial recognition technology is FABULOUS!! But let’s not over use. I often will sit with my phone on my desk while I wait for a call, and while I work on other things, or meet with other people .. my phone will unlock because it detects me, but I don’t want it lowering the ring, I’m waiting for the ring and the people I’m with are waiting for the ring. The ring like dial tone, is part of phone culture. We have adapted or life processes around iit. I do appreciate your innovative thought however!!

Help both my husband and I got iPhone X noticed when a call comes in while phone is ringing I hit the volume up or down button once and it mutes the ring. Is this normal I was trying to increase ring sounds and we also noticed when phone rings sometimes it’s loud and sometimes it’s not or it lowers on it’s own

New Topic :

I had no problem linking (bluetooth) my IP6 to my car audio system, but car system does not now recognize my new device -- the X. I deleted my old phone connection and went through all the steps, but this did not help. Does the X require a different procedure (before I go to car service).? Thanks, Deusto

Have you tried turning off vibrate? Also change to another ring tone. Fingers crossed you can get

It working.
