I installed the (awesome) rom update, and everything about my phone is better, but I can barely hear callers and adjusting the in call slider seems to do nothing! If anyone has suggestions, that would be great..

There's a cab file floating around that changes the max volume entries in the registry. I'll be on the lookout for it, but you might have luck finding it searching for "volme fix" or some such.
After further research, SIM & CID unlocking, flashing to the MRClean ROM, and checking every volume fix post, I realize the slider for in-call volume is the problem... Using the hardware button slider or the stylus, my slider moves, but no change in volume either way!
Can't find answer anywhere!

Does anyone know how to increase the volume with voice commander? and also the ringer volume. I can hardly hear the voice commander and I cant hear the phone ring...
I have the same problem
I tried several registry settings, but the ringtone volume is very low now and can't set it back to original even if setting microsoft voice command to not to speak the incoming caller id...
Anybody out there... help !!!
I think I figured this out by accident. I'm using v2.17 and have a Cardo Scala 500 headset.
To make this simple, I'll refer to the volume controls as left and right; the left side being the pda volume and the right side being the ringer volume.
When not on a call, both volume controls are visible. When on a call, the left side disappears. This is probably by design. Unfortunately, the right side volume control appears to do nothing for me when I'm on a call. I found if I turn up the left side volume way up when I'm not on a call, the Microsoft voice is very loud and almost distorted when I listen through the BT headset. But when the call is made, volume returns to an good level and is clear.
When I first got my phone, I kept my left side volume low because I didn't like hearing all the click-click-click when using the stylus. I could barely use the phone because the volume through the headset was so low. No matter what I did, I couldn't get a good volume through the headset.
Now I keep the pda volume very high so I don't have to fumble with the phone to boost the volume right before answering a call. Calls are clear even if the Microsoft voice is a bit distorted and loud when setting up the call.
I was hoping this might be fixed in the newer ROMs.
Thanks for the quick reply 100Tbps.
But unfortunately the problem i'm facing is not exactly the one you had. My problem is that the ringtone volume on the phone has reduced after installing MS Voice Command (which I want to keep). Initially I had set it to speak out the caller name while incoming call, but that reduced the ringtone volume and the volume of the announcement of incoming caller was itself very low. Then, I tried fixing that by changing some registry values, to no avail.
Now i've disabled announcing of incoming caller name, and still ringtone volume is very low. Can't seem to increase even if all the volume sliders are up at max....
Still in a fix... don't want to hard reset and install everything again...
there is a reg edit for it. i found it in a universal forum or something
Thanks a lot grinny11.
I've installed the file. Would love to see what settings the cab file changes - just to learn a bit... i'm a noob here and a wanna be power user
Anyways, all i need to do now is to wait for someone to call me :lol: don't have a landline or alternate phone.
Will update here if problem solved.
Didn't work
maybe will have to do hard reset after all
thats wierd. it works for me. volume of voice command is just as loud as any other ring tone
quick question..
i have never used voice commander before and i could not find the current info page.
Can anyone provide a link to a page with all it can do? What else can you aside from calling contacts? does it work well? im guessing its not free
thanks

thanks.. im trying voice command now... im installing to storage card so i hope that isnt a problem.. does this program have any user interface? i noticed it didnt add anything on my programs list
strange.. i press the button that is assigned to voice command.(its the hold mail button by default)
i hear a quick noise but the mic button does not show up on the top.. when i use file explorer and manually open voice cmd program, then the mic shows up for a few seconds..
was i supposed to install to main memory?
edit.. i reinstalled on main memory and im still getting the same problem.. i just hear a quick noise but nothing happens..
edit2.. figured it out.. by default i maps to message button. changed it to record button and it now works
Hi all,
My phone doesn't ring when there are incoming calls, it only flashes the light. When I switch to vibrate mode, it does vibrate. How can I fix such problem. Please advice.
Thx in advance for any input.
There are 2 volume settings: System volume, and Ringer volume. Make sure both of them are turned up. I assume you can hear other sounds?

i have same problem and its not the ringer volume setting. someone please help. im missing so many calls cuz of this. thanks
As already noted, sounds like you have System Vol up and have also gone into 'Settings/ Sound', and made sure phone volume slider is turned up.
I had the same problem for awhile, the two are linked, unless you manually turn the sound down (in Settings), then it will respond to the System level buttons only to the manually set sound level. I had inadvertantly turned my phone volume all the way down, thinking the System setting would adjust it to wherever I wanted it, not so and I missed some calls.
You probably have also checked to make sure the Phone ringer selection is not set to 'none'.
i had this same problem and i had turned everything up and still nothin..i did a hard restart and after that it worked
Exact same problem, didn't realise until reading this thread that there is an arrow at the top of the volume control which takes you to the ringer volume. Problem solved - cheers.

Have the same problem, but I don't see any <, button or another sound/volume menu, pls anyone?
Htc touch pro not ringing
I haven't had a ringer in six months. Only vibrate. I have tried everything. I don't understand 'the arrow at the top of the volume' control. Is that the slide button on the side of the phone that has system/ring options?
hi.. i also had same problem..what i do was... copy ringtone to music in phone memory..and one thing only the cut edited mp3 can play.. i think.. mine now ok..
Hello all,
I though I had sorted the problem of the low ring tone when I installed the Audiopara cab file from here at XDA. Indeed it does raise the volume quite a bit but at a price...
After a few hours it randomly refuses to sound when someone rings, windows media player will only play at one volume (very loud) even when I have the volume turned right down for both the program and the phone / system itself, and my SPB alarm refuses to sound unless it's on the maximum volume setting within the program...turning the system volume down or off does nothing
Please can someone advise how to get the ring tone volume at a resonable level with sacrificing the problems above...
p.s. Have also tried HD tweak but that just disabled the ring tones altogether.
I used HTCVolume.cab it is on this forum, this fixed the problem for me, i hope this fixes your problem, you will probably need to find a way to remove the previous fixes first
Thanks for the reply...I'll download the cab file and try that.
I'll hard reset my device as I've had to do a number of times previous to get rid of the problem and try a fresh install....
Cheers
Just tried the cab posted below, installed it, soft reset and now the sound is as quiet, even a little quieter than normal.
Anyone got any ideas as i am missing so many texts and calls it's not even funny anymore. There's so much i love about this phone but not being able to hear calls and texts is a major problem...please can someone help :-(
Is it just me, or does the hd7 lack any sort of vibration for notifications? Atleast for texts? The sounds on it are clownish so I'd rather just have no sound with a vibration on a text. Any way to do this?
Hit the volume rocker and touch the bell icon to turn on vibrate mode. Works for me.

yeah but then when your phone rings it wont ring it will only vibrate.
what the thread point is is that this OS is missing sound profiles were you select what each one does.

I don't think there is a way to do that yet. But there is an update coming soon for it, and I have heard rumors of copy & paste, custom ring tones, and a few other things. Hopefully custom ringers and flash will be included in this update.
Can we not do this like on every other phone I've ever had?
I use the app volume control. No issues at all.
When I use the volume rocker it seems to affect both ringtones and notifications. I think the volume settings are relative.
Here are volumes before adjustment, after backing out to home and turning up with volume rocker. . No sync.
Right, which is why I was saying perhaps they're relative. All I know for sure is, when I use the volume rocker, it affects both notification volume and ringer volume.

Which I'm saying I do NOT get that behavior. So, in order to change notification volume, I HAVE to go into settings>volumes and adjust it manually. Pretty damn lame.
I'd like to see something like this:

Are you sure the actual volume (i.e. the decibels coming out of your speaker) doesn't change, regardless of what the sliders in the volume app say? I realize the sliders don't necessarily reflect what you might expect, but change the volume, have someone call you, then text, then change the volume again and test again. When I do that, both go up and down as you'd expect.
Just tested. Only the ringer/phone call volume went up. Text stayed very low in volume until I manually went into Settings>Sounds and changed the Notification volume.
I just tested specifically and have to rescind what I said. That's really strange, I could have sworn I'd been changing my text message volume and ringer.
I'd like to bump this up too. Anyone not update to the new Advanced calling firmware yet confirm if this is happening with them too? I am on the new update and just noticed this

I now have the update but can confirm the same behaviour before the update.
Still doing this on 4.4.4.12 - very annoying.
I only took the day one update, call and notification volumes are NOT linked.
