I can safely say you connected your iPhone to a speaker dock sometime in the past.
When connecting an iPhone to a speaker dock, the volume control is set through the speaker and not through the iPhone.
Sometimes after unplugging the iPhone, the iPhone keeps thinking that it's connected and won't let you change the volume through the iPhone.

To fix this - simply plug your iPhone to a speaker dock again and unplug it until you can manage the volume with the iPhone.

    Or... sometimes it's just dirt in the connector that makes the iPhone think that - just clean the connector

SOURCE: LOW VOLUME TO HIGH VOLUME

Is this for a specific ringtone or all ringtones on the phones?
Certain versions of the iPhone firmware have an issue where the volume keeps decreasing. Try this to fix -
1. Press the sleep button on top of the phone
2. Now press the home or sleep button so you see the "lock screen (the screen with the wallpaper that has the unlock slider)
3. Double click the home button and the ipod controls should come up on the screen.
4. The volume is probably set at the half way mark...set the volume to full.

See this fixes your problem?

I would try a system restore, plug your iPhone into iTunes and click restore, it will delete everything but once its done it will restore it to when your last sync was.

Why is it when people call me my iphone 5 does not ring, how can i make it ring?

Hi,

check the left side of your iphone and see if the ringer button is down then raise it up and increase the sound volume. Or go to settings then sounds and check the sound level. Else try to restart your iphone if it doesn't work then the problem might be in your iphone speaker.

Don't know how to increase the ring volume?

To increase the volume for the ringer, the volume buttons located on the charging stand can adjust the volume. To change the ringer volume on the phone instead of using the stand, go to the menu on the phone and type 1 then 1 again. This will take you to the ringer volume screen. You can select between the options:{1}: Low {2}: Medium {3}: {0}: Off.

How can i increase volume for mic iphone 3gs or input volume during calls..they cant hear me clearly..thats my phone problem..iphone 3gs..

Hello

1 .You need to confirm if its the volume or the mic of your phone that has the problem.

2 .If its the mic,your callers would not hear you but you would be able to hear them.

3. You can Adjust the volume of your iPhone by depressing the volume button on the left edge of the phone, close to the top. This will cause a volume indicator to appear, superimposed over the other icons on your screen. This will increase the volume of your ringer. If you wish to adjust the volume of the phone speaker, use this button during a live phone call. You can also control the volume of your speaker when you are using your iPhone as a music player in the same manner.

4. If its the mic,remove the iPhone from the case, as your case may be blocking the device's microphone.

5. Plug the iPhone device cable into the iPhone and into the computer's USB port.

6.Launch iTunes. Click "iPhone" or the device's name in the sidebar in iTunes and click "Summary then Click "Check for Update" and "Download and Install" to update your iPhone's OS.

7. Remove the device cable after the update finishes and insert your headphone jack into the iPhone's headphones port,tap "Phone" on the home screen, tap "Contacts" and tap a contact to place a call.

8. Press the "+" button on the microphone to increase your microphone's volume.

9. If the problem persists take your iPhone to your local Apple Store for professional service.

How to increase the sound

Hello,

To increase the sound of your motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 cell phone.

You can increase the sound of your phone in three categories.
1. music volume,
2. ringer volume,
3. keypad tone volume.

To increase the music volume, you go to the multimedia, select sounds, once the song is playing then you click on the up button that is by the side of the phone. You can increase it to the volume that pleases you.

Further means to increase the volume of your phone is that you go to the 'menu', click on the 'settings', select the 'profile', select 'personalize', a page will show up with a list of data that can be changed on the profile, select the ringer volume, keypad tone or whatever sound you want to increase and increase it with the direction button pointing upward that is by the side of the phone.

To increase the keypad tone, from the home page, click on the up button that is by the right side of the phone, the volume of the phone will increase.

Take care
