MS Voice Command Volume - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I have just started using ms voice comand, but the volume is very low
I have looked about and done a reg hack to change
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command -
Change:
Attenuation Catagory - Value 1
InitVol - Value 3
and also tried
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command -
Change:
Attenuation Catagory - Value 2
InitVol - Value 8
but neither of these make it any louder
anyone using voice command, that has been able to fix this on a diamond?
I am only using it on the speaker and not a bt headset
Also i noticed that the speach is not as clear as cyberon VC, as it is alot faster. But i prefer the features of MSVC with regards reading the email subjects and caller id

7. *Adjusting Volume of Announcements -* There are two values that seem to influence the volume of announcements. They are stored within the following key:
*HKCU\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Voice Command1*
The values are:
*AttenutationCategory*
*InitVol*
There are apparently different default setting based on your device. In general the values are generally around 1-4 for *AttenuationCategory* and 1-5 for *InitVol*. Some research shows that setting *InitVol* to 40 and *AttenuationCategory* to 1 provide the best results. In my testing I have found the *InitVol* to do nothing. The *AttenuationCategory* definitely does something, it seems the lower the number the lower the voice. When set it to 0 the announcements were very faint. Setting it higher made them higher, although I can't say that anything over 4 or 5 got any louder.
In my findings I would say set both of these to 5 (I have read some other posts that lead me to believe setting InitVol over 5 is pointless, in addition, the posts that recommend setting it to 40 don't specify if that is decimal or hex).
Got this out of the Kaiser Forum.

do i need to restart the device for these settings to become active?

What I do is shut the phone down...Power Button, and then take out the battery for a second or two, then I put the Battery back in and start it back up. Some reg settings you change revert back when you just soft reset.

I would love to make voicecommand louder BUT i can't. I changed the values but the volume is still down....
How do i do???
Someone???
I read in one post that if I remove S2A, the voicecommand will be louder...but i still don't know how to remove S2A....
HEEEEEELLLLP!!!

The loudest volume level on HTS HD2 i got with:
indows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCallFeedback]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:00000001
"InitVol"=dword:00000005
"DefaultSound"="\\Windows\\HTCTone\\Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav"
"Directory"="\\Windows\\"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce]
"Category"="InCallFeedback"
"Sound"="\\Application Data\\Volatile\\\\TTSCallerID.wav"
"Script"="p"
Not tested on BT headset yet.

Flash SMS Light (LED) more than 5 min.

Hello,
i want to use the led light for an incomming sms more than 5 min. In the setting i´m not able to select the remember box (is not enable) i only can see that the time is set to 5 min.
I want that the led flash for 60 min.
Any ideas ?
Daniel
Daniel, I did manage to find it in the registry, to make it flash "no limit" the value was zero, the default value was 5000 (5000 milliseconds=5 seconds) so the value will be 60000 for 1 hour. My phone is doing a ROM update right now, so I will have to post after I search through the registry again. Try usingt PHM Regedit to search for "Flash" and keep clicking "find next" until you find it. I will post the reg key later.
Hello sasha26
i used TC and i only found two entry with FLASH.
The values are not for the flashing signal (one for camera?)
Daniel
I found the entrys
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/{A877......} (one entry for each notification)
if found the duration for new SMS / new MMS .... and more. Set the duration from 5 to 60 - restart.
now in the windows setting the value from 60 is in the field.
Daniel
led
but...
when i've an incoming sms the only led lighting is the circular one...
the up led in speaker phone when works?
OKAY this is wierd!
I didnt realize that the Diamond had a LED light!
I have had mine for a week now a didnt discover it was missing!
Can someone post the reg settings for the different values!
AFAIK there is only the circular light around the center button.
I think the "LED" you're referring to is the ambient light sensor next to the speaker?
When I set the duration to 0 - would it light on until I'd read the message?

AH...OK! yes, im referring to this one...
Hello,
i found several entrys in
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/
for each entry in the listbox from "Windows - Settings - Sound - Notification".
I have a German Rom so i don´t know if the numbers in the {} the same as in the US / GB Rom.
But it is easy to find, in the entry you also find the text e.g. "New SMS".
I only set the entry in Duration from 5 to 60. In the Windows-Setting now 60Min appears.
Daniel
Is it possible to make the light be active for more then 60 minutes?
How about 120, or unlimited? (untill you have read the SMS)
Are you sure? I think the battery will not be happy eheheh
bye

You could always try. 1440 for instance, that's 24hrs
more than 60 does not display, anyone an idea what happening about this ?
0= unlimited. If you look in settings after setting the reg to 0, it will show unlimited.
thanks for this tip
could not find the actual key to change....
unlimited does not work, the led goes off after 1 min.
anyone an idea ?

I have change to 120 - now i testing - 30min ago and wait
edit:
after 40min flash stoped ?!?
Thanks Matt....what value / line in the registry are you changing
[edit]
Thanks All....
After reading this thread at least six times decided to read again but carefully......
Have seen the light and the keys that needed changing...again many thanks.
Have set to 60
Testing missed call...set to 60.....shows in settings notification
good after 5 min then 30 min ......
will advise if reach 60 min.
has stoped at 50 minutes.....not sure why...
hmm, the right thing to do is to actual unlock this feature like it's meant to be, I wander why they greyed it, possibly they were so paranoid and afraid of battery life so they turned everything they can come for...
so, to sum it up, 0 in settings doesn't work and max available flashing is around 50 min.? For both missed calls and sms's?
EDIT:
Just found it. You have to change AvailableOptions to 12 instead of 11. This will ungray drop down menu just like it should be.

AudioBooster

I don't know if some know but there are few options that you can modify in registry to enhance the sound. You can change value prim_treble, prim_bass...... they go from 0 to 4. You can even change the setting of equalizer and make them go till + or - 12 (and not only 6 as in audiobooster)
I have tried the old Audiobooster with this cab :http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58130&d=1195040550
All work! Means you don't have to modify registry you can modify through it. Only trouble is resolution. Not VGA
Could someone make it for VGA devices?
is this only for headphones or does it push the speaker from the phone to ?
thanks
headphone only to prevent speaker from damaging

[APP] LUMOS v1.0 *FINAL* (Complete HTC Auto-Backlight replacement) [UPD.:08-02-2011]

. . . . (current version 1.0 FINAL)
More control. More battery. More comfort.
Lumos is fully customizable automatic backlight level changer developed as a complete replacement for stock HTC auto-backlight service. A wide range of HTC branded devices is supported starting from HTC Diamond/Touch Pro up to the current WM flagship HD2.
Lumos focuses on minimal CPU usage, maximum battery saving, low memory footprint while maintaining maximum backlight change smoothness and responsiveness. Lumos combines the best from all available auto-backlight solutions and adds many extras for your tweaking needs
Features:
- simple and clean installation and uninstalation
- extremely low CPU usage when working, 0.05-0.3% on polling
- NO battery and CPU overhead (drainage) unless you actively use your device's display
- low memory profile considering all the options
- simple and reliable configuration GUI with easy step-by-step calibration process
- many options that let you change every aspect of how your backlight works
- program exceptions to set different backlight for any application
- relative excaptions allow you to amplify/attenuate the automatic backlight for specific applications
- ability to force display ALWAYS ON for certain application
- integrated tool to detect all active application names, leave it running in the background and it will log all application names you use
- configuration failsafe. No matter what you do, Lumos won't crash, just tell you what is wrong and use defaults.
- supports vast majority of HTC branded devices since HTC Diamond
- many supported languages
Just install the CAB, start LumosWizard from programs or soft reset and you're all set!
- Lumos always installs to the device (no matter what you chose)
- Installer will create auto-start entry (Lumos will start after a soft-reset)
- Installer will create a shortcut to LumosWizard in your programs
- should any problem arise after first installation, try to soft-reset your device before consulting our FAQ below
Program installs to \Program Files\Lumos\
Lumos.exe = starts/stops auto backlight service, accepts commandline switches
LumosWizard.exe = graphical tool to configure all aspects of Lumos
settings.txt = configuration file is not included in the package, it will be automatically generated by LumosWizard after successful calibration, you can edit it manually in your PC or by using LumosWizard, text edits in device are probably no longer possible because of unicode encoding.
LumosStarter.exe = (re)starts Lumos service without any visual feedback (used for startup after soft-reset and for special issues)
TROUBLESHOOTING:
You can take these simple steps to troubleshoot any problem, perform both steps and if your device reacts differently than described try fixes marked ">" one by one starting from the top. Please restart your device before you start, your problem might fix itself.
1) Run LumosWizard, start Calibration and proceed to second step (max sensor), Lumos should report positive values as you move the device near to light source.
> move the damn finger! xD
> another application exclusively locked the sensor, try to disable other apps using light sensor
> sensor drivers or sensor SDK is missing, try if different application like G-Light works, report the problem if it does, update your ROM if it doesn't
> your sensor may be defective, try some 100% compatible ROM like Energy just in case and consider RMA if unsuccessful
2) Run LumosWizard, start Calibration and proceed to third step (minimum and maximum backlight setting). The backlight should actually change as a preview when you move the slider.
> check if windows built-in auto backlight is disabled in power settings
> another application may be forcing the backlight level, try to soft reset and disable other apps that can change backlight level or manage backlight in user profiles
> original HTC backlight utility DLLs may be missing in certain early WM6.5 ROMs, try to install BacklightHotfix.CAB attached to this post and reboot. If it just won't work, try another program like G-light, if you're still out of luck, try to contact your ROM chef about this.

FAQ:
What exactly is the calibration for, backlight is still the same after calibration?
The calibration ensures Lumos can detect the detection range of your light sensor properly and lets you set minimum and maximum possible backlight easily.
It has 4 steps:
1) Minimum value the sensor can read (probably 0 on all devices)
2) Maximum value the sensor can read (expect this to be something around 1400), you need to use a light bulb tor this step.
3) Minimum brightness you want. Lumos will calculate everything with minimum value reported by your device, but it will not let the backlight go below this value. (like if you want to have backlight 2 in shade because 1 is too dark for you)
4) Maximum brightness you want. Lumos will calculate everything with maximum value reported by your device, but it will not let the backlight go above this value. (You may notice that backlight level 7 and 10 is a little difference and can be both read in direct light, however if you limit the maximum to only 7 here, you will save a lot of battery)
5) After you are done with the calibration, you can review your setting on the settings tab and click 'Apply+Save' to exit LumosWizard and actually start Lumos service. There is no auto-backlight while the configuration Wizard is open, it defaults at level 6!
How program exceptions work?
- Switch to the Windows tab and start for example TomTom, leave TT and click it's name in the window list, then specify the backlight you want for this app and tap Add.
- If you disable "Exc. for active window only" on settings tab, you need to specify exact window name and exception will be triggered even for inactive application (minimized for example).
- If you activate "Exc. for active window only" on settings tab, you only need to specify part of the window name in exception settings (useful in case part of the window name changes). If the window name is "AdobeReader - document.pdf", only add exception "AdobeReader -". Be aware enabling this option increases CPU requirements of Lumos by about 20% (means roughly 0.06% total for slow diamonds).
Note that you will probably need to enable "Exc. for active window only" on settings tab for exceptions to work on WM6.5.
How to set a program exception step by step?
1. run lumos wizard
2. switch to the tab "windows" (the last one) and let the wizard run in background
3. run your program(s) you want to add
4. close the program(s)
5. switch back to lumos wizard -- voila, all the window names you visited are there!
6. tap the program name you want in the window list, it will switch you to the "exceptions" tab and fill the form for you
7. set the backlight level you want (1-10) and tap add to exceptions
What is a Relative Exception?
- relative exception does not force one specific level but rather amplifies and attenuates normal auto-backlight behaviour for the application in question.
Consider this scenario:
Code:
- my allowed backlight ranges in levels 2-7
- I want to use a navigation app in car and it is kind of difficult to see on sunlight, shades in car would read for level 3 or 4 and that is not bright enough
- I can either create an exception and force backlight all the way to 7, but that might not be optimal on battery
- therefore I create a Relative Exception of +2
- for the navigation application if the backlight would normally be set to 3 by Lumos, it will be amplified by two to 5. What would normally be level 6 will get amplified to 7, since that is my maximum level.
- You can also use negative values in Relative Exception to decrease the backlight for certain app by certain amount to save battery for example.
How backlight modes work?
- Backlight modes are individual equations used to determine proper backlight level from current sensor value.
- Linear - this mode is equally sensitive in dark and light environment.
- Root - this mode is more sensitive in dark environment and is best suitable for human eye and therefore default.
- Quadratic - this mode is more sensitive in light environment.
- Custom - this mode features customizable graph, you can draw a graph yourself with stylus or click on the blue area under each level number to input border sensor value manually.
Levels outside your min-max boundaries are hidden.
- Note that using custom mode do not affect CPU requirements in any way.
Commandline switches?
- There are 4 switches that can be used
"+" will increase backlight by one
"-" will decrease backlight by one
"s" will run normal Lumos operation without restart prompt after +/- tasks are completed
"q" will quit Lumos after +/- tasks are completed
Example to increase backlight by 3 and disable automatic:
Code:
"...iles/Lumos.exe" +++q
My *insert a game using G-sensor* is lagging strangely, can I fix it?
- guys from HTC thought it would be a cool idea to tie all sensors together in a framework, unfortunatelly it appears that when one program locks a sensor for read, other sensors may get locked as well on some devices. There is only one solution that will de-lag such game - not to use the sensor while it runs.
- Create a non-relative exception for the game in question and your lag should go away.
Backlight is not changing at all, it's the same all the time?
1) go to Start - Settings - System tab - Power - Backlight tab and DISABLE the 'Auto adjust backlight' feature.
2) close the configuration Wizard with "Save+Apply" button, auto-backlight service is disabled when you are configuring Lumos or when there is no configuration specified.
Program won't start at all?
You NEED .NET 3.5 Compact Framework Redistributable. It is faster and more stable and offers more stuff for developers than the 2.0 you probably have. It is rumored it may even make your device work faster (or at least .NET based apps).
Download it HERE (only about 3MB on device, don't be scared by the installer size as it contains support for more processors)

NOTES:
Please disregard the hacks from previous versions and always set your sensor minimum and maximum to real values (0-xxxx)! Some sensors might have different minimum than 0 - this is a hardware defect and you need to use the defected value for Lumos to work correctly.
To admit it, I haven't installed it yet, but I'm tempted. Just one question which might also be of interest for others:
What's the advantage of your app compared with G-Light?
And not to forget:
Thank you for your work! I still find it amazing that many xda-devs are building programs for free just for a "thank you" by the community.
Well I tried G-Light and LevelSight but will only compare it to G-Light as LevelSight does things a bit differently IMO. I set G light to 3s polling interval to make the comparsion accurate. I don't like to put dirt on someone elses app, G-Light is a fine piece of software and I encourage the developer to implement some of my ideas to match mine and make it even better
- G-Light can behave competely unpredictably, it pumps up the backlight when you're in shade (this is because of the luminosity spikes)
- Lumos eliminates any spikes by the 4-read interpolation keeping your backlight more comfortable and smooth
- Lumos uses a tolerance which further prevents the backlight to unexpectedly changing (and causing a CPU spike)
-G-light rarely reaches below 1% of CPU usage (1-7%usage is common) which can drain your battery as a side effect
- Lumos rarely crosses above 0.5% CPU usage on default settings (0.05-3% usage is common) (NOTE: this will even improve in future versions)
- in G-Light You cannot change how fast the luminance values are read from sensors, they are read on change = further battery drain. You can only change how often to set backlight
- In Lumos you can set sensor read interval and backlight change in its multiplies to save CPU and power while retaining smoothness.
- Memory usage: GLightRunner 595.43KB , Lumos 311.53KB (but this will get a bit more later)
- No noticable memory leak in either applicaiton
- G-Light has a frontend app to set up
- Lumos has none yet but you can change the configuration file
- Neither Lumos nor GLightRunner can be completely shut down without using task manager (Lumos will once it has frontend GUI).
- G-Light can exclude applications
- Lumos can't yet
-G-Light settings is pretty much still limited compared to Lumos
To sum up it's definitely worth trying

Thank you for your long and precise answer, You definitely convinced me!
I'll try it right away!
Lumos v02
Lumos Version 02 has been released, all the changes are logged as (!) in the bug tracker above.
Default settings response time is shorten to 2s, while CPU usage is pretty much the same as v01 with 3s refresh.
Memory usage: 339.53KB
CPU usage: 0.05-0.25% on scan, 3.15% on backlight change
Power consumption is 2mA better than v01
If you want to achieve more sensitivity of backlight transition without CPU overhead, set tolerance to 0 (CPU usage bug is fixed now).
Configuration file is now idiot-proof, program will tell you what is wrong on syntax/logical error
EDIT: 02b contains one more bugfix, the auto backlight range cap finally works 100%
Enjoy

Quick question; does you app let the backlight go to 0% in full darkness, like LevelSight?
Yes it in fact goes to 1 (backlight disable) as lowest on default. You may want to increase it to 2 in the config file if it's too dark for you.
The point of this app is YOU set how it should behave, there are virtually no limitations unless you enter a complete nonsense to the config. And even then the program should just notify you about the incorrect settings and not crash, so don't worry and edit!
The program needs to be restarted in order to apply new settings. Either kill it via process/task manager or soft reset if you don't have one. Note that this acts like a program, it won't start again automatically if you kill it or soft reset. And also it won't store anything in your registry or enywhere else on the device, so it's perfectly safe to "just try". I will make a manager app later that will let you setup and control this underlying process.
But FIRST we need to make sure the service is bug free and does everything we need before I even start building the front-end app
Also you may share your custom settings you find best with me and if it's performing well I can select that one as default for future.
Thank you Niker! V2 is working great for me. Only one thing:
The lightlevel changes linear as you've explained and that's basically working fine (and much more smoothly than G-Light for example). But it tends to get to dark. I've now changed the minimum setting to "3" to get the average backlight-level I prefer. BUT: I like to read late at night in bed and it would than be nice to have the backlight at level "1". So would it be possible to exclude light level 1 & 2 from the linear alignment and to only use those levels if it's "really dark"?
PS
Just to give you a bit more information about my personal preferences and what I want to achieve:
I actually like the default HTC auto-backlight. It more tends to bright than to dark backlight and it's making the level changes very smoothly so you almost don't notice them.
The only thing i don't like about it is that the minimum level is hardcoded to level 3 which is too bright for me when I read in bed with no additional light in the room.
Of course those are my personal preferences and that of course doesn't necessarily mean that your app is meant to handle that way!
Well I have an idea, I wonder if .NET CF 3.5 supports external scripting as the PC version does. Basically that might allow you to replace the backlight algoritm without compiling the program yourself. You could quite easily make exceptions binded to really low lumen values or time of day with just 2-3 lines of code.
EDIT: I fear this is not possible, System.CodeDom.Compiler is awfully stripped down, I would have to make up my own scripting language for this to work and that would be very difficult.
But I think I can add this as a setting to the configuration file.
DIM_TO_MINIMUM_BELOW = 0
- disabled (default)
DIM_TO_MINIMUM_BELOW = 25
- below 25/750 lumens
very simple and I think this would do about what you want
Expect this in the new version.

Thank you mate, I really appreciate it!
Thanks for your suggestions.
Lumos v02c is out, it contains your 2 desired options (for backlight 1 and 2 separately). You will however be disappointed by the sensitivity of raphael sensor, it reports 0 like all the time.
This change theoretically lets you set lumen values for the 2 lowest values manually and once the sensor reads larger values, the MIN/MAX_BACKLIGHT kicks in. It's possible to have 4-8 auto and dim to 1 or 2 on low light, so you can kinda simulate the behaviour of LevelSight if you want to.
Oh and as the cherry on top I disabled tolerance by default, for more smoothness, the impact on CPU and battery should be minimal < 0.05%
The next version should include a tool to easily restart Lumos to apply settings, it will be needed for the graphical user interface later.
Enjoy
Major version released:
Lumos v03
- all bugs connected with dynamic backlight should be fixed now
- changing settings.txt is even safer (program should never crash, just tell you where is problem and use defaults)
- includes LumosKiller.exe that can start/restart/shutdown Lumos easily
In case no bugs are found until friday, I will start building GUI.
Could you integrate special brightness normally only used when starting the camera? You'd probably need to debug the camera application to find out about the special ICOTLs for that. I did that with my Magician back in the days.
Program-specific exceptions will be added after the GUI is done, I still need to figure out how to list running windows by name. If you have any experience with this using C# or C++ I'd be happy if you PM me, but I guess uncle google knows how to do this, just refuses to share it with me right now
Uz to testujem, zatial to vali krasne a v pohode ;-)
I just wrote that I'm currently testing it, no problems so far.
Thank you and please keep up the good work ;-)
Great application Nik3r!!
i like so much, because don´t touch my registry, It´s light,and also have minimal resources consumption
But, i need your help with the configuration file,
i have htc diamond, and the battery of this device drain fast
how can set the settings to obtain best battery duration?
Thanks a lot!!
You can increase the polling interval, enable some tolerance and lower the maximum brightness.
Try to make these changes:
MIN_BACKLIGHT = 1
MAX_BACKLIGHT = 6
POLLING_INTERVAL = 1500
EXTRA_POLLS_BEFORE_SET = 1
BACKLIGHT_TOLERANCE = 1
set minimum backlight to whatever is reasonably visible in shade
.. this will set your polling interval to 1,5s and make your brightness change every 3s instead of 2. The tolerance prevents brightness changess less than 2 units. It's the brightness change that eats most CPU (up to 3% spike) and thus battery and the tolerance makes sure it's not changing until a larger change is required.
And make sure you killed the old v01/02x version or soft reset before using 03 because older versions can't be killed by LumosKiller and two of them running may ruin your battery.
... hmm by the way I wonder why I didn't call it "Nox" instead of LumosKiller (any similarity with HP books is completely unintentional )
Good luck
Thanks for your quick and detailed reply!! i did those changes you suggest,
I´m really fan of your app!!

[Q] Self changing volume, but why?

The volume decreasing itself from time to time, I don't know why. I fixed the volume at %100 in settings and also I use srs wowhd to get a louder voice. But sometimes it goes down and it really drives me crazy. How can I lock the volume at maximum? Could it be low battery resulted issue? By the way, I don't have any settings saved in memory card (xda uc or something else like that).
Can you tell me the values under:
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\

Sure, just like seen below.
First take a full backup. Then:
Change the values, which contains word "Volume", to 4294967295 (Dec). All others, set them to "0".

[FIX] Experiencing low sound in calls ?

I am experiencing low sound in calls after latest update 4.0.3 . Any fixes available ?
Guys after looking into some threads , i got something useful . my call volume is fixed .
Download BuildProp Editor by JRummy on the Google Play Store and open it up. Tap on the “pencil” icon in the top right to bring up the manual editing mode. Scroll all the way to the bottom and add either of the build.prop lines mentioned above and set it equal to the number of volume steps you want to have. For example, entering these two commands at the end will double the number of in-call volume steps and media volume steps respectively.
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Once you’ve entered these commands, reboot your phone. If it worked, you should now have as many volume steps as you specified in build.prop.

Thanks for this post. I suffered from annoying low in call volume on my previous device so know how irritating it can be, especially when making calls in busy areas, like a road with heavy traffic. I've only had this device for a few days and since getting it have been away in an area where there is next to no mobile signal so I have not taken or received any calls.
Question
What you have written would seem to suggest that the prop changes would increase the number of volume steps that are applicable for each volume type, but, does does this really alter the actual maximum volume setting? if not then I can't see that this is a fix.

The code is like this
// Initialize volume
int maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.media_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
i think it alters the max volume but i am not sure but my low call volume is definitely fixed . I just added the lines which i mentioned above.
Testing on my Mi A1, now I have to wait to receive a call. (*Insert a Forever Alone Meme)
EDIT: It changes the number of incremental steps, but the maximum volume remains the same.
Does this fix work on latest OxygenOS betas? There was a TWRP flashable zip before but not sure if it works still.
just clean the speaker grill.
Already cleant the speaker grill. Need the volume to be boosted
volume fix

Flashable zip worked on nugatt but not work in oreo since tasha mixer files are in different localization, you need to manual change values in tasha_miser_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc root folder.
I can send you my edited file.

magisk module named "low in call volume fix oneplus 3/3t for RR" not sure if the name is exactly the same but just type "low in" and the module should show up. Tho its for RR i use it on beta 25 and the issue is fixed ! :good:
Increasing the volume steps in root\System\build.prop didn't change the output volume for me.
I solve this issue by modifying a single parameter in "root"\system\vendor\etc\mixer_paths_mtp.xml
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866)
Best regards.
Fixed it by editing the RX0-RX8 Digital Volume values from 84 to 94 in mixer_paths_tasha.xml file found in /vendor/etc folder and it works! Now I keep the call volume 1-2 levels lower than full. Tried it on OxygenOS beta 24. Thanks for the help everyone.
