Hi, Any way of making the Nokia 6600 Ringtones very loud?

I can hardly hear it when someone rings me, I've adjusted the ring to max
sound but it still seems very quiet.

Thanks

That's odd. What tones have you tried? I have mine set to desk phone,
low at volume 7, and I can hear it throughout my house.

Have you tried doing other things involving the speaker, such as
recording and then playing back a sound clip?

Maybe the phone has a master volume setting somewhere but it so, I'm not
sure where it might be.

Well I've downloaded loads of mid songs (all from different places) and they
all seem very low, I actually bought another 6600 the other day for my
girlfriend and that is the same.

I do have a krusell case fitted to my phone, it muffles it slightly but not
that much as there is a hole for the ringtone speaker.

I've tried all the menus, cant seem to make it go any higher, I've missed
about 4 calls with it now which is quite frustrating.

Have you tried it outside of the case? Mine isn't in a case now, and
the ring tones are actually more on the "too loud' side than anything
else.

The other setting you need to check is "Ringing Type". If you have
"ascending" ticked the tone starts off really quiet and builds. Which
means it might have been ringing for 20 secs before you eventually
hear it and you might miss the call.

If it's not that, you might have a duff loudspeaker on your phone.
When mine goes off it's so loud I usually jump out of my skin.

Get a program called MIDIFixer you can ajust the volume of the midi file
before you transfer it to the phone. If youi do a search of the web, you
will find it.

I had this problem and in the end gave up the 6600 and got the 7610 as I
missed all my calls and it ended up being a worthless bit of tat!
