Increasing volume

I know how to increase the volume normally.
However, I find that the maximum is still really quite quiet - often enough for me to miss my phone ringing when it's in my pocket, or for me to miss my alarm to get up in the morning...
Does anyone know how to raise the volume any higher? Perhaps past its normal maximum?
Thanks

I also don't hear thealarm sounds. Anyone have a loud alarm ringtone?

me too! i still need other alarm clock to wake me

I'm using this alarm sound to wake me.

Re: Alarm Clock and good wake up wav file.
I use SPB Time.
Its some cool functions including multi alarm, plus real-time clock screensaver. :wink:
Link here.

Also I made a special wake-up wav file, it does the job for me. :lol:

I got the SPB Time program, and it seems pretty good - the alarm is loud enough. However, do you know if I have to have it running constantly for the alarm to work? I mean does it have to be up onscreen overnight if it is to wake me up?

Re: SPB Time
For the screensaver, you do not need the program running. Another thing about the screensaver is you can customise it not to come on with certain programs, for example Windows Media and TomTom Navigator 5.1 etc.
If you have set the Alarm, then yes the SPB Time has to be running, but the plus is you can turn your pda off and it will turn it on to view and hear the alarm.

That's odd... I have tried setting timers and the alarm and turning my device off - they don't seem to sound until I turn it back on again

Thats strange it worked for me (XDA IIi) and my friends (QTEC 2020i). I'm running WM2003SE, maybe try re-install and/or contact spb support.
can anybody else help Anjow???

Anjow,
I got this from SPB Support, if a re-install doesn't work this may help.
My alarms do not ring when the time comes and the device is in sleep mode. Why?
Most probably you have a typical Windows Mobile 2003 alarm problem. Due to a specific WM2003 bug the system scheduling functions may have unpredictable behavior on some devices. Even native system alarms don't wake the device up from sleep mode on many 2003 devices. For our regret this problem is operating system and device specific.
However there are some known workarounds for this problem that may help (but still a 100% effect is not guaranteed). You may try WakeupTweak from BurrOak Software. Try these links: http://www.burroak.on.ca/ptafaq.html and http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=876

Thanks very much, I shall take a look at the fixes.

I have found a usefull piece of software called PhoneAlarm which solves this problem.
In ADV settings, change the shutdown delay to 30 seconds, also to increase the sound quality and volume in calls, selcect TAPI Signal, then softreset. Then do a test on your Alarm program and it should work.

Hi,
apart from alarm sound, is there any other patch or application to further increase ring volume?

Ivan's WM5.0 on BA and AlarmToday

Hi guys,
It's been great using Ivan's ROM for WM5.0.
I'm having difficulties in getting AlarmToday to work properly. My repeating alarms work but without sound. It only flashes the display message, LED and vibrates. The sound just refuses to play. However if I set the alarm without using AT's settings, the sound will play. I still need AlarmToday to make it repeat.
Does anyone know any other program that I can use to make my BA my alarm clock? I've been using AlarmToday to wake me up everyday when I was still on WM2003SE.
Please helP!

AlarmToday
Hi
I'm using pocket music as alarm (only one - wake up function :shock: ) and plays actually good.

No Sound on incoming calls?

My phone has developed a strange problem whereby it no longer makes any audible tone when someone rings! If I set it to vibrate, it does indeed vibrate, but if its set to ring, its completely silent. The incoming call notification is displayed from S2U2, and I’ve tried changing the ringtone to ensure it wasn’t having difficulty finding the file, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve verified the volume is set to ring, but its still not working. Has anyone experienced this or able to suggest a possible fix?

6.1 stock att tilt
I have the same problem and really like some help towad this matter. see mines is a little different it rings,but it's low but once the call comes to the end of the call volume get loud like it should at the begening. i thinks the cause of this is the s2u2 on my tilt . everything works but incoming call is so low ,I do't know someone was calling until they hang up the volume comes back it's like s2u2 ver.136 muffes my ringtone untile the call end someone please take the time out and give alittle help over here plz asp.

I have the same problem too. I changed from ATT stock ROM to Garmin DK 1.2 ROM and then after a month, the phone stopped ringing for incoming calls. I upgraded the ROM to Garmin DK 2 and the problem temporarily vanished and then started again after about a month.
Does anyone know about this problem? For now, I am installing the HTC Kaiser ROM to test if that solves the problem.

random freezing
I've been having the similar issues with my tilt. It freezes and will vibrate when a call comes, but no sound and it won't stop vibrating until i soft reset. It does it randomly and sometimes it freezes before the number can be displayed so it is shown as an unknown number and i don't know who's calling because after the phone restarts the last call is not in the history. I have a few programs installed like skyfire, tcpmp, s2p, and i use my bluetooth headset at almost all times and i still can't answer with the headset on. I also have the HTC home plugin installed but it came with the windows mobile 6.1 update.

idea
Hya,
I had the same problem with my Niki and it intercame even with the Kaiser.
On Niki the problem was on WM6.0 .. after I upgraded no problem came. The "vibration freeze" never happened again and it's ringing every time.
On Kaiser the problem was in mirror. The ringing functioned well with WM6.0 and the problem came with the upgrade to WM6.1.
I can only think that the problem was that the ROM was broken but not sure.
An idea which I can gave to you to resolve a bit the problem is to install SPB phone suit where you can set ringtones to the calls, SMS, MMS and e-mails (and on newer versions maybe to many other things). It worked on my Niki `till I didn't upgraded (I didn't try it on WM6.1).
Never tried on Kayser but it worked for sure on Hermes.
Just try it, you can be sure that you don't brake anything and SPB phone suite for me was a usefull prog. Friendly interface, easy use and VERY usefull.
Have luck

Stopped ringing - avoid hard reset?

My O2 XDA Ignito (Touch Diamond) has stopped ringing. No ring or vibrate on incoming calls, despite these being enabled. Selecting to change the ringtone gives me a preview which the sound works fine on. No selected ringtone will work though. It doesn't work after a soft reset.
Didn't stop working after anything other than normal use. Have the standard ROM and Slide To Unlock and a few other programs but otherwise pretty standard.
Anyone know of a quick fix avoiding a hard reset?

Im not sure about the Ignito but i had the same on my Orange Diamond and it turned out, quite simply, to be the ring volume setting in the settings menu. Scroll all the way along to the last but one tab and its under the sound settings. Ive noticed that mine has a tendency after while to set itself to zero, it seems to be after its been set to silent for a period of time!

Sound issue?

Hi Folks,
Happy HD7 user here, have had it a few weeks and really love it vs my previous phones.
However i have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working ? I noticed this most recently with alarms not going off, id often wake to the phone vibrating but no sound ? It wasnt set to vibrate either. When going to unlock the phone (Company enforced policy) the normal button taps also do not sound.
When making a call while the phone is in this state there is no sound what so ever on either end of the phone..
Soft resetting cures, but has anyone else had the same problem.
Phone is running o2 latest firmware (phone is unlocked and on the Vodafone Ireland Network).

I've had the sound stop working for music before, but I didn't try making a phone call or have an alarm go off while it wasn't working, so I can't say if all those things were affected. I assume they would be though.
Soft reset does fix it (until it does happen again, seems to be really random)

I came here looking to see if anyone was having this issue, to determine if it was just my hardware, or if it is software related.
I have noticed that at varying periods of time that the sound seems to just stop working; ie. vibrating but no sound on alarms, and the normal button taps not producing sound when going to unlock the phone.
However, when making a call while the phone is in this state, I can hear the called party fine, but they can not hear me at all.
A soft reboot solves these issues for me as well.
I am hoping that the Jan. update corrects this issue, because I do enjoy the HD7 very much.

had the same problem, it was caused when i set the alarm and the alarm was setting off but could not wake me, so the alarm was like ringing for hours, then when i woke up, i see in my screen the snooze and dismiss buttons. so i press dismiss.. but the all sounds from phone were gone...(rings, notfications, music).. i had to softreset the phone to get it working again.

I think that the problem is that the phone take a deep sleep if you push it off. Perhaps MS reduce the cpu power or clock speed in Standby-Mode to save battery life.
I dont know it shure, but the phone responds same as my old blackstone with installed
nueClockControl which allows you to change the clock speed.
Regards

I'm having the sound issue but soft reset didn't help. Any other thing that I can try to fix it?
