Missing option to disable ascending/increasing ringtone volume

I'd like to ask from Samsung oneUI developers to add an option in settings to disable ascending/increasing ringtone volume. I mean, when phone has an incomming call, the ringtone volume starts low for some seconds and then increases.
I searched for it and it seems like it's impossible without 3rd party apps.  I also tried "adb shell settings put global increasing_ring 0" command with no luck... 
I saw many people in forums asking for it , for years, as they find it an annoying feature. In my opinion, "it ruins" the ringtone.

Please add a toggle in settings or in Good Lock/Sound Assistant.

I've been on this site and many other Reddit forums for Samsung and Android for at least the last six or seven years, and I've never seen anyone complain about their sound volume increasing. I just played around with it on my s24 ultra and tried virtually every preloaded Galaxy sound and yes, for a split second, mind you a very minimal split second, the volume is a little less and then it increases to the full volume. I believe the reason it does that is because some of the songs I downloaded that I turned into ringtones when they first start playing it's right in the middle of a very loud piece of the song and this way, it does not blare out at full volume immediately, it starts off somewhat lower and then increases quickly. I don't see what the problem is, do you miss calls? If not, why does it bother you so much?

Is it allowed here to post some reddit links?   It seems like you didn't search... 

Please try google search:  samsung ascending ringtone disable  
You'll get many results from android-related sites/forums, about this issue.

Also, you missed these topics below:

The fact that mandatory "ascending ringtone" in oneUI, is not annoying for you, doesn't mean that other people should also like it.   We just want to listen to the ringtone loudly from the 1st second...

Would be a problem for  you if there was an option in settings for it ?

So, you pull up a total of two posts from several years ago from other countries and decide this is a universal outcry?

Maybe it's the ringtone I chose, but I never, ever had anything but full volume ringing (except when I lowered the volume). It stays at one level from first ring til last on any of my Samsung phones. If there was a volume variation, it was not enough to be noticed.  Even the contacts I have custom ringtones for do not vary in volume at all.  I almost wish they did start lower, because when I am sitting in a quiet place and my phone unexpectedly rings, it startles me.

Just a stab in the dark here: Open your clock alarm and if you already have a alarm set up, do this. Click on the "Alarm sound" section (not the toggle on/off button), then click on the "Ringtone" section, and then at the bottom, toggle off "Gradually increase volume". Ngl, I do not know if that is related.

Thank you for your reply, my friend,  but the solution you are suggesting,  is about alarm sound.  It's not related to the ringtone of an incoming call.

I get that (hence why I said this is a stab in the dark and ngl ...), but there may be a software bug that crosses certain functions. I only posted that because that is the only setting in Galaxy devices currently that allows for gradual sound increase.

 

What the others said are from actual experiences, like using a ringtone that does that of its own creation, etc. I hope this gets resolved for you.
