Ring doorbell 2 community

This worked for me and haven’t had an issue since. https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-fix-low-speaker-volume-issue-on-ring-doorbell-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/

Guys I installed the ring doorbell today and have the same volume issues as the rest of you.

I haven’t got to the end of the thread yet, but so far it seems disabling event history is a help. Can someone please tell me how to do that? I can see no disable option on my galaxy s10. Cheers… Sly

Well I got to the end of the thread. Thanks for all the testing and updates. It’s a real shame that Ring seems to be completely indifferent to the significant problems with their product.

Anyway I rolled back the ring app to 3.16 so I could get to the new features option. I’ll test the volume later tonight.

Just did a little testing after the app roll back. Audio at the doorbell was much improved using my wife’s iPhone 7, although it probably should really be louder. Unfortunately there was no improvement using my galaxy s10.
Interestingly, I only rolled back the app on my phone. The iPhone still has the latest from the app store.

same issues with volume here on doorbell 2 and iphone and also echo show.

this issue and also having to have the ring app open all the time on the ipad to view live footage with no auto view feature has made my mind up to return and look for something better…

When you listen to the conversation in the app it sounds fine but when you are outside your can’t understand and can hardly hear.

I first needed to use the “Rapid Ring” app to be able to hear the person outside. But the person outside said I sounded garbled and couldn’t understand.

Is there a fix for the low speaker volume on the Ring 2? I just installed this as a replacement for the original Ring and I must say that it is disappointing that people can’t hear you on the speaker.

This worked for me.

I have exactly this issue. The external volume for the ‘visitor’ is laughably low. A visitor would have to put their ear right next to the doorbell.

The speaker on my ring2 is extremely low how do I raise the volume

After 19 pages of complaints on this thread alone it is clear that nothing will be done.

We were all sold a $200 lemon. That is just a fact.

Ring, Amazon, they do not care, they have your money.

This is not an insult, this is just a factual statement.

Unfirtunately you can’t …

To start.:

Turn off “Event History Timeline” under “New Features”.

If that doesn’t work,

Uninstall Ring App
Reboot Phone
Reinstall Ring
Ensure “Event History Timeline” under “New Features” is “OFF”

You can no longer disable “Event History Timeline” in recent & current releases of the App - it is now not a ‘new feature’ but a permanent feature that can’t be turned off.

In order to achieve above you need to install an older version of the app via an apk (I have explained how to do this earlier in the thread)

Even then, that (somewhat) helps the 2-way communication using some Android phones, however still does nothing for the external speaker volume at the bell, which is pitifully woeful.

Has anyone tried talking in the other mic? My doorbell is down at the moment so I can’t check but it seems to have worked on my other cameras.

Same problem. Useless to talk to anyone via phone to doorbell.

Same problem with ifone 10. Turned Timeline off and much improved. Nothing like the commercials, though. Still difficult to have a 2 way conversation. with bell ringer person.

I am having the same issue, people cant hear me when talking in live view. I have a samsung s10+. There are many users having this issue, will ring please give us an update on what’s being done to fix this issue!!

I thought I would join this thread with a slightly different problem. I have a Ring Doorbell Pro and iPhone 6s Plus. The person at the door can hear me without any problem but I can’t hear them. I am not able to turn off the timeline view to see if that would help. Is there any place else to get help other than a thread that has died long ago or a very lengthy phone call?
