Mine does this as well. I think it's actually something done by design rather than being an unintended problem. I'm guessing the idea is to start the ring out a little softly so it's not so jarringly loud, and potentially startling, from the outset. The thought process might also be that it gives you a chance to answer/silence it before it becomes very loud if you want to (particularly in public or quiet places).

This is intentional. I actually prefer it this way since my phone is usually within a few feet of me anyways, so I don't need a super loud ring. When notifications go off loudly and suddenly, it does tend to be "jarring". I also have my alarm to gradually increase in volume, rather than a quick and sudden burst.

Are you missing phone calls because it's not loud enough or did you think that this was a defect with yours?
