Have you ever missed an important call because your Infinix phone didn’t ring loudly at first? Instead, it just vibrated and then slowly started playing the ringtone at a low volume — which then gradually increased? If yes, you’re not alone.

I personally faced this issue on my own Infinix smartphone. Every time someone called me, the phone vibrated, then a soft ringtone started after a delay, and only after several seconds did it become audible. This wasn’t just inconvenient — it was frustrating, especially when I missed time-sensitive calls.

But after some digging and testing, I found a simple solution. And in this blog post, I’m going to show you how to fix the “increasing incoming ringtone volume” problem on Infinix phones step-by-step. I’ll also include screenshots in case you want to follow visually, a video link, FAQs, and a final summary.

Now, look for an option called “Increasing ringtone volume” or “Gradually increase ringtone”. You will see a toggle button next to it.

If the toggle is blue, that means the feature is currently enabled.
Tap it once to turn it off. When it turns grey, it means it’s now disabled.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Why does my Infinix phone vibrate before ringing?

Ans: This happens because of the “increasing ringtone volume” feature. It\’s designed to start with vibration and a soft ringtone, then slowly increase in volume.

Q2: Is this feature available on all Infinix phones?

Ans: Yes, most modern Infinix phones running XOS (Infinix’s custom Android skin) include this feature under sound settings.

Q3: Can I adjust how fast the ringtone increases?

Ans: No. In Infinix phones, it\’s a simple on/off toggle. You can\’t customize the speed of the volume increase. That’s why turning it off completely is the best option if you find it annoying.

Q4: Does disabling this feature affect other sound settings?

Ans: No. It only affects incoming call ringtone behavior. Your media volume, notification sounds, and alarm settings stay the same.

Q5: I turned off the feature, but my phone still rings late. What now?

Ans: Make sure:

You actually saved or confirmed the toggle (some phones need confirmation).
Your phone isn\’t in Do Not Disturb or Silent Mode.
There are no third-party apps controlling your ringtone behavior.
If it still doesn’t work, try restarting your phone or updating your XOS software.

Once you’ve followed the steps above:

Your phone will ring immediately upon receiving a call.
There will be no delay or low-volume start.
You’ll never miss an important call again because of this hidden setting.

🧠 Additional Tip: Use a Louder Ringtone

After disabling the increasing ringtone feature, consider choosing a louder and more noticeable ringtone from your sound settings. This ensures maximum alertness in noisy environments or outdoors.

You can even download free loud ringtones from trusted apps or websites.

🏁 Conclusion

The issue of low or delayed ringtone volume on Infinix smartphones can be confusing, but thankfully, it’s easy to fix. The culprit is a built-in feature meant to gradually increase your ringtone, which often leads to missed calls.

By disabling the “Increasing Ringtone Volume” option in the sound settings, you can restore your phone’s normal ringtone behavior and never worry about missed calls again.

This fix is based on my own real-life experience, and I hope it saves you the same frustration I went through.
