Although it seems a simple task, choosing the ideal volume for your cell phone can be more difficult than it seems. This occurs because of changing environment often and often, we forget to adjust this depending on the device so it is ideal for each situation.

So you can not hear it while on the bus or have the unpleasant surprise to receive a call on the maximum volume of the device in the office (or during a meeting). However, if you use Android, there is an application called Intelligent Ringer that can help you not to suffer more from this problem.

The program is able to adjust the ringer volume on your phone to silent environments, with a greater amount of noise and even when it is in your pocket, all automatically. If you want more details on the operation of the Intelligent Ringer, just read the tutorial below.


Prerequisites:

  • Ringer Intelligent Application installed on your Android.

 Download Intelligent Ringer

Activating the application

Logo to open the application for the first time, it checks the compatibility with your device and displays a message stating the fact. Then you can see the volume in which his touch was adjusted before you get the last call as well as the level of silence and noise at the site. To get the settings, use the button “Start”.

Now, ideally you start configuring the options so that they fit the best for your needs. For this, still with the program open, click on the settings of your Android and select the option “Settings”. See a new window opens with various preferences.

most configurations is composed of scrollbars with values ??between one and seven (representing the minimum and maximum volume). Although there are some basic premises, like the fact that your phone is better at high volume when it is in your pocket (to facilitate time to hear it), preference should be adjusted according to your personal taste.

Although at first the amount of settings may seem a bit intimidating, as soon as you realize they are simple. Below, we will briefly explain what each one represents.


Adjusting settings

Following the order presented, the first option is the “Pocket factor” used to indicate that your phone is in your pocket (as measured by the proximity sensor of the device). Ideally, this setting is set to a higher value, as well, when your phone is in your pocket, it will be easier to hear him play.

“Accuracy” is a feature that represents the application’s ability to measure the values ??of silence and noise, depending on the environment the person is. The more points you assign to this option, the greater the accuracy with which these characteristics will be measured by the program.

However, this can also be a problem, because if the application takes too long to make the adjustment, the function can not be applied (at least during the expected time). So it’s up to you to define what he considers best for such a configuration. Then we have the features “Minimum volume” and “Maximum Volume”, which, as the name suggests, are responsible for adjusting what will be the minimum and maximum volumes applied to your touch.

Now, you have some options that are enabled by checking the box next to them. “Proximity Sensor” serves to activate the function responsible for recognizing when your smartphone is in a pocket or a purse (provided it is in a place “close” it). “Start on boot” causes the application to be initialized along with the phone. “Hide icon” serves to not display the program icon in the notification bar of your Android.


Calibrating levels of silence and noise

At first, the program shows the default values ??recognized by him as a quiet or noisy. Ideally you make a manual adjustment, at least before the first use to ensure that such alternatives correctly represent the environments you usually attend.

For this, start by calibrating the volume of noise, clicking on “Noise”.

done, place your smartphone in a noisy environment you consider (the more noise there is, the better the results later) and click “Ok”. Then, the application performs the measurement and simply click “Done” to complete the procedure.

Now, adjust the volume in environments with little noise, clicking on “Silence”.

Then put your phone in an environment that is not too noisy (much less noise there is, the better the results later) and click “Ok”. Then, the application performs the measurement and simply click “Done” to complete the procedure.

Note that the bars are adjusted with the new values. Still, if you want, you can modify these settings manually (by moving the scroll bars until they reach the value you consider appropriate). In both cases, you can use the option “Lock this value” to set the current number as the ideal.

However, if you keep these features “locked”, they will no longer be adjusted by artificial intelligence program.

Final

Once done all settings (and clicking “Start” if the program is disabled), the ring volume on your phone is set to work with different intensities, depending on the environment. Everything is done automatically and, with the use you do not like any of the settings applied, simply enter the preferences menu of the application and make a new adjustment.
