The volume level for text notifications is much lower than my ringtone.

As an experiment I set the same mp3 as the ringtone and text notification sound. This confirmed that the text notification I am receiving is significantly lower than my ringtone which is set to maximum.

How can I increase this volume level?

This seems to be a glitch, what if you try a different messaging app?

I've tried the default sony app and message classic. Both suffer in the same way.

Boot in safe mode,see if the same occurs:

Text notification volume level is fine in safe mode although the mp3 file gets truncated after a second.

On rebooting I received a text straight away and the volume level was as it should be, but after a minute of being on the volume level had dropped down again.

I did a few more tests and I'm still bemused but have managed to replicate the fault and find a trigger for the low volume but not a cause.

It would appear that after a reboot the text message notification is as it should be at normal level. I can receive many texts without issue but as soon as I send any text, all subsequent text notifications suffer from low volume. This is regardless of whichever sms text messenger is used.

This fault has been present from day one of using the phone before any third party apps were installed appart from operator specific app or mods. Operator: O2 UK

You should check it with other Z2s.

Strangely enough I don't have any more Z2s to try it with! I just want a phone that works. I shouldn't have to bugfix.

After much searching there does appear to be quite a few folk starting to complain about the issue on various forums.

I am sorry,but I cannot help you further.A last resort would be a software repair...

I have no doubt that many more will contribute to this thread with the same issue.

Once they do I would hope that your opinion will change and the issue will be properly looked into.

Of course, if you would like to supply me with a few more Z2s on which to try and replicate the problem I will accept them.
