Dial Pad too soft beeps? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading

Perhaps someone else has this problem too? So I didn't want to keep the solution to myself.
I can not remember if it was so ever since I burned this ROM, but today I noticed that the sounds of my dial pad were much softer than any other system sound. And it annoyed me.
I found the setting in registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Feedback\InitVol
changed it from hex 2 to hex 16
While doing this I also noticed that the dial pad becomes more responsive by using wav sounds instead of mid's (perhaps wishful perception ;-)
These sounds are in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\DTMF...
What the use is of the Feedback\DefaultSound is an unsolved mystery to me. But not important.

Kaiser/Tilt Ringtone Volume Increase

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to increase the ring volume on the Tilt. I did a couple of extensive searches and all of them came up for either older phones or different phone models. Also, I read somewhere that each HTC registry differs in some manner.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction to this fix.
I would also be interested in louder speaker phone volume too.
Thank you in advance.
get into your registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. Here you will find2 setting at the bottom..."InitVol" ans "Speaker". Open these both, and change the "value" number higher than what you show. I have both set to 15...initvol was at 5, speaker was at 8 when I first got it. I also opened up the "alarm" file at the top of the tree and made sure that speaker value was set to 15 as well.
Now...I can hear it fine, but the dif. is pretty small. I read about this edit, but never heard back from the guy that posted it. I can't say for sure this is any kind of pro-approved method, as I am quite new to this phone/system myself. I had been hacking Motorolas till I got this a few weeks ago. I have no idea how high that value can be safely pushed, and by the looks of the device..the speaker is pretty small and weak anyway. Hope this helps..be careful..lol. Blow that lil speaker and you won't be hearing a thang!

Do a search for TCPMP. It is a media player. On the options>settings>select page> equalizer tab. check the "enabled" box and then "slowly" slide the "Pre-amp" slider to the right... trust me it will play louder!!!
So that volume tweak above is for ringer volume, what about external speaker volume (e.g. play music or hands free)?
What about the internal speaker volume for hearing the person on the other end of the phone?
I'm another newbie who'd like to know how to get to the registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. after I already installed PHM RegEdit.
Thank you.

Thanks works like a charm i have a tilt with 6.1
I have known about these reg hacks for quite some time but they never work for me
i checked my dec values with this new ROM and my intvol was set at 0 and my speaker was at 1. i put them both to 5, the sound actually got lower but then higher, and lower then higher. weird
set both to 15..don't really notice a difference..
It's not that bad in Kaiser though. I used to have Eten M600 which was worse in many aspects of sounds volume, esp. loudspeaker. What we did was to replace the ril_gsm.dll with a patched one plus some reg hacks.
So maybe in this case if the reg hacks simply don't work or keep reverting back to its original value, then there's more to do than just registry. Just my 2.01 cents.
does anyone know how to increase the sound for incoming message?
please advise and thanks for the share

how can i increase volume?

i would like to know how to increase the overall volume of my 8925. the ringtone, speakerfone, and in call volume. does anyonee know what registry edits i can make to boost the volume?
dv8r942 said:
I put this up a couple times..this is what I read, as the speaker was the first complaint I had (not that I had many). Reg Edit/H_KEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROL PANEL/SOUNDCATAGORIES/RING.....
Now there are 2 settings to be changed, according to the post I read, the author of which has not replied back to any of my inquiries..."Initvol" and "speaker". Hold each until you have the menu option to edit (or dub-clik and open them) you will see the numeric value, which can be easily changed. When I got my unit, Init was at 5, speaker was at 8. I jacked them both to 15. There is an increase, and poking around, I found that you can do the same for the "speaker" value in different areas (alarm, music..)
The dif is pretty slight, AND I also took all my tones and hiked the volume up to near-distortion levels...which also helped. You aint going to get "quality" tunage from this thing, I just need to hear it...lol. Now..what I do NOT know is just how high that setting can be jacked before it does damage. Nor have i been advised that there is some other, more appropriate way to pump it up. The speaker is small, weak, and on the back, so only so much can be done. What I DO know is this method has not caused any damage..and I am hearing it just fine now. Hope this helps.

Thank him!
i tried this but its still about only 70% as loud as my 8525
bump to the top
So E..how high did you go? I noticed you compared it to another phone, one I am not familiar with, and what I can add for ya is that the volume issue on THIS unit is the same for the other 2 phones I just purchased...those being a Blackjack 2 (only cuz ATT bought out my old provider and it was cheep...lol) AND...dun-dun-dun.....the nokia E90 (which, unfortunately WASN'T cheep).
I rigged up an old motorola V710 (remember THOSE days??!!) with a bunch of games and songs for my 7yr old daughter...and MAN...that little dinosaur was hurting my ears, WITHOUT any mods!! Point is...these fancy-schmancy units obviously need to sacrifice something to cram so much functionality into such a small package (guys, feel free to use this line on your significant other...if applicable). I don't use headphones, and I don't need these things as "music players", so I dont really mind too much...but we DO need to hear the damn things...lol.
How high did you set it?
Oh..and Unk, allow me to thank you for thanking me
well DV8
i set everything to 15 but the init volume keeps on resetting to 5 i dont know why. and also does the attenuation have anything to do with the volume?

Increase overall volume

Hi there,
Does enyone know if it's possible to increase the overall volume of the ringtone and sms sounds...? (some kind of tweak mabye) I've got it on max but often I must really on the vibration to notice a sms or call. I often only hear the sound very soft.
Thanks..
ps i've the system volume only on 3 bar's orso, but that shouldn't effect the ringvolume should it??
I too have this issue, sound is pretty quiet to be honest. The answer i got was not helpful, basically said live with it.
yup, it isnt any where near as loud as my K-JAM (Wizard) was, but then my K-JAM was no where near as loud as my Ericsson P900 was, etc etc...
the speaker phone is an absolute joke, unless you are in a sound controlled ultra quiet room.
it seems that with every new phone and the speakers get worse rather than better.
I also find the diamond to be too quiet. I am a truck driver who drives refrigerated wagons. When parked on a bay I use my phone to watch films or listen to podcasts. But with the sound of the fridge I cannot hear anything. My old tytn 2 was spot on for sound. Any reg hacks or third party programs to boost sound? I have looked without any luck. I may have to find a mini usb speaker.
Use a player with pre-amp; for example, CorePlayer.
coreplayer`s volume doesn`t have any effect to windows sounds.
he asked for sms and speach cenversation loudness.
There is a registry hack Swiftblade uses. It's been posted in his ROM thread in the ROM section. That should do the trick
Edit: here's the link to the thread. You'll have to find the right posting yourself, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408109
ok found it
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=dword:77
but when i look at my registry there is no ...\AUDIOGAIN why ??
i think you have to create a entry
no change, still quiet
I am annoyed by the low ringtone and text message alert volume, too. I'm using the bElite 0.95 ROM and I tried adding that entry to the registry. It did not change anything.
Well if the registry key isn't there I would assume the HTC audiogain application isn't installed, so there's nothing to read that value. Hence making any changes futile.
My advise: try finding the cab for that app, or try with another (perhaps stock) rom

Ring volume suddenly drops to hardly a sound, anyone else?

I'm not sure if it's just mine but at least once or twice a day I have to do a soft reset so my ring volume is normal.
For no apparent reason, my ring volume drops to such a low level, you can hardly hear it.
Anyone else have this problem? It's getting ridiculous. I'm running Dutty's 1.5 version and have TF3D disabled. I'm using Spb's software instead of TF3D.
Help please.

Hard reset or check settings>sound notifications and see if its not set to ring once!
Luck!
Are you using a BT headset at all?? Am interested if you are not. One of our managers is having an issue like this, that he has also had on 3, yes, 3(!) previous Vario III's - I am trying to establish a pattern.
Oh, and this isn't an isolated case - there is another open thread about this!
Settings are not set to ring once. It will ring like normal, just real quiet.
I had this problem with another HTC product (touch cruise). At any given moment, it would just ring quietly. I didn't have to do anything.
I may have to do a hard reset and start over, I dunno. I had this problem before I changed ROMs.

did you install anything like srs wow hd? some presets make things very quiet.

No, other than the updated ROM, I only installed two Spb products. The problem is, it's not that my ringing is very quiet. It rings loud like normal.
It's that at least once a day it just starts to ring quietly. If I do a soft reset, all is well.
It's just getting annoying to have to do that at least twice a day.

[Q] How to change tone length on dialpad I9000?

I cant access my voicemail because the dialpad tone is to long and not short "beeps". How do you change this. I posted on 4 other forums and nobody replied. Thanks in advance
Good question. I've run into this from time to time as well. Hope someone had an answer.
Any typos or other oddities in this post are brought to you by the letters G & T, the number 9000, and Swype.
So your saying this happens sometimes for you but not always?
I have also been looking for a solution. Because the dial tone length is so long VM as well as telephone backing cause entry issues for me.
I wonder if it is buried in a secret menu?

The tone length is always the same. Sometimes I just enter the digits faster than others and that's when I have issues.

Solved
I finally figured out how to get it to work. You must select speaker prior to selecting the dial pad. Works every time. If you dont select speaker first then you get the long tones.
I'd like to bump this. Voicemail on my phone is driving me nuts. Going to speaker does seem to work. But really, should I have to set my phone to speaker-phone to be able to access my voicemail, on a $500 phone?
Does anyone know how to fix the touch tones on the Galaxy S?
Thanks
I have the same problem occasionally but it only seems to happen to me when I have poor reception.
I haven't found a fix, but I just thought if add my observations.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Thought I would post an update. I was looking around in my Sound and Display settings today.
I noticed that Audible touch tones was selected. I deselected it and now I seem to have no issues at all with touch tones. Tried it a few times and worked each time. Hopefully this fixes my problems...
Thanks! I was trying to pay my cell bill via my phone and couldn't get it to work. That setting worked wonders.
