Is anyone feeling that the ringing sound is very low compared to the music played through the speakers?

same feeling here.
This......not so good!! Had a few phones with low ringtones, very annoying. Was hoping the Z2 to be on par with the G2 as I found that ringtone volume excellent!

How is the overall call volume? Is it loud enough?
Why do manufacturers do these dumb things?
I wanted the loud speakers mainly for the loud ringing advantage, as I set my phone down in one corner of the house and often miss calls as I can't hear it from the other rooms.
Hopefully there's a fix.

Apparently call volume is low too...
Everything was looking so promising for the Z2...[emoji22]
Can't be doing with a phone with low ring/notification sound...remember on the Sony Ericsson X1 the amount of calls and SMS I missed due to low (and poor quality sound).

Seriously, I don't know why every review I've read so far talks about the power front facing stereo speakers when the volume is really so poor. What's the use?
Looks more like a software glitch to me.
One more bug I find was the volume indicator which appears when you press the volume rocker doesn't seems to be moving continously the correct volume levels. Again, not sure whether it's just me alone with this bug.

Well it's a complete deal breaker for me. Seriously thinking of cancelling my pre-order
My opinion. Both call and ringer volume are more than sufficient.

Well, it depends on you, but I feel it's a software issue as I could hear loudly when I play music. So it can't be a hardware issue. It could be a matter of bug fix update from Sony to fix it.

Yes, I wiped 'em all.
I agree, call volume is very low. Sometime, when the other caller is with a fix line it is allright, thought i would like to be able to keep one "up" volume in case of; but most of the time, the volume is really just enough to understand.
At the contrary, playing music over the headphone is quiet good, sometimes (most) too loud! Why on earth is the volume of the sound different when listening to music against a voice call???????????? There are horses demanding to be free....

There was a genuine issue with call speaker volume in the 2.3.7GB firmware, that was fixed with ICS.
Call volume it's now loud from my SXS.
Keep in mind some telephony devices that ppl use will be low and poor quality by default. The only way to fix that is to ask them to use a dif device.

My earpiece is loud enough to hear it on a noisy boulevard - the only thing quiet on the Xperia S is the speakerphone - it doesn't use xLoud and sound volume is a bit low during call... .453 firmware.
Agree. People hear me loud and clear and via the earphones it's good, but I have to press the phone to my ear so hard sometimes that it leaves a stripe...

Not to sound like Steve, but you're holding it wrong. Try calling a free number and move the phone around your ear a bit. I've noticed I had to hold the phone a bit lower then I usually do to hear the caller loud (plenty loud) and clear.
Mine is generally ok, it seems to be quieter with certain people so I'm a bit confused lol
I would agree that speakerphone is too low, seriously weak.

I did the update to ICS and the problem continues, what else I can do
I am having the same issue & i am on GB .73. I can not update to ICS seeing as Rogers wireless has not released the update yet here .
I wish the call volume was a bit louder. I downloaded the Volume+ app but it keeps forclosing so i am a bit upset about this. Hope with the ICS update they give us a louder call volume
Does anybody know of a way to hack the phone speaker to work when playing videos or music? Even if the volume was lower then the speaker on the back I think this would create a nice fill effect that would help the sound.

When you watch YouTube videos the speakers is on the back the the sound isn't the greatest. I'm wondering if there is a way to have the phone speaker play the audio for the videos as well as the speaker on the back? I think this would really help out when watching videos or playing music.

Dafuq?
I think when he is referring to the front speaker he means the one used when making phone calls. If I understand correctly, you are asking if there is a way to have audio from music and movies play through the rear speaker and the front, telephone speaker.
I have never seen anything like this but I'm sure there is a way somehow. However, the telephone speaker isn't meant for the kind of volume the rear speaker is and I don't imagine it would enhance the sound in any way. Also, you might cause damage to the telephone speaker if you were to try something like that.

This is what I meant. I know the telephone speaker wouldn't be that loud but I just think it would help. The telephone speaker would act like a surround sound speaker in a home theater. It's not that loud but it makes the entire system sound better.

Here is a cool video of an Element case that channels the sound from your back speaker to the front of your device. Pretty cool.

The speaker on the back of this phone is leaps and bounds better than the one on my rezound (with beats by dr dre). It may have something to do with the fact that he only impersonates a doctor and is not in fact a real doctor. just sayin

This is a microphone grate if I'm not mistaken. I'm fairly certain only one of them is a speaker. There are threads all over this forum with this being stated.

now, if you had the bastardized verizon version like i do, youd see how this is so. there's only one speaker looking grate on their version.. and its not a grate, it's 3 holes.. then the other side is 1 tiny mic hole. wish ours looked like yours though bc the asymmetric look is awful

Yes this was my first disappointment of the phone as well. I thought it were stereo speakers so the phone will play music with good loudness from the speakers. Then I played music and it came from 1 grill. I googled it and saw it had 1 speaker instead of 2. (Cheaters)

Gyus, i`m shocked! When i get incoming call - only one (lower) speaker is playing! Sony mocks ???!!! Device have 2 stereo speakers but they are not playing both with incoming calls! WTF!?
Everyone have this ?
What do you think, is this a firmware problem or what ???
This upset me so much! (((((
Maybe that's why the ringtone volume is so low.. A very common feedback now.
Seems like it`s not a s/w glitch, seems like Sony did that deliberately. What for - is a damm mystery for me! This is so unlogical, so stupid, aahh, can`t select all words how this dissapointed me
The only hope for talented people on XDA to fix that.
Yea... speakerphone for calls is ridiculously low.
Could you please post your findings to the Sony support forums for visibility?

Guys, who lives in Taiwan and Singapore, PLEASE, write a messages to a Sony support about this problem, why they did incoming calls with only one speaker ? Would they fix that in future or not ? Wanna hear what Sony official support will write about that!
Thank you.
PS I wrote about this to a Sony Singapore, in English, i hope they will feedback to me.
I think this is unacceptable bug!
Smartwatch 2
I think sony need us to buy the smartwatch 2 or smartband for feel the vibration alert when incoming call rather than to hear the sound.
that why sony said (Details make the different ).

You listen to music on both speakers but ringtone for incoming calls are only on one speaker. That's the reason that ringtone is less loud then music.
