ROM to raise volume or add speakerphone?

I just got a PDA2K and, like my iPAQ 6315, I hate the low ringer! It's running WM2003SE, if I upgrade to 2005 will my volume be louder?
Also, I do not see a speakerphone option. Is there one? If not, will upgrading add this functionality?

The ring tone is the same as WM2003SE as it dependant on hardware. But I'm quite sure it is possible to write a software to boost the tones up.
As for speakerphone, the only way to activate it in WM2005 without addon software is by pressing the green button for about 3 seconds during a call.
There are programs already that can activate via software. Do a search in this forum under development and hacking section.
To add to your question, has anyone realised that when we go under Add A Ring Tone section and preview the ring tone there, it is very loud. But when the phone actually rings, it is much softer. Any idea why and how we can ensure the ringing is as loud as the preview?

Ringtone problem

Hi,
I have been having this problem for the last couple of days, for some reason the volume of my ringer has dramatically decreased to the point where i can't hear the phone ring when it's in my pocket (wasn't the case before). When i try to play the ring tone (it's a wave file by the way) using the media player the volume is normal and very loud, the same applies to when i play it from the settings->sounds&notifications the volume on the ring tone is perfect, but when i receive a phone call the ringer volume is cut down by more than half, i checked the ringer volume and it's set to the max, I also did a hard reset then restored my files using the sprint backup but the problem didn't get fixed, I tried using a different ring tones and the same happens. any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are three volume controls: System, Ring and In call Volume.
Have you checked the System Volume?
If you press up on the hard volume key, you'll see arrow on the top right to switch to the next vol control. Check there.

ringtone problem

ringtone volume problem
the phone has the original stock rom from rogers (canada) hope this helps in any way

Have you got any profile managers installed (G-profile, Phoneweaver etc)?

ringtone volume problem
no i dont have a profile managers installed... so i just noticed that when the phone start ringing and i dont pick up, a second before the phone stops ringing the volume of the ringtone increases to the normal level (then stops ringing), the increase of the ringtone volume happens for like a split second after the caller hangs up and the phone stops ringing. hope this helps in any way. Thank you

Sounds like you have a Ringtone delay problem, there are a couple of solutions.
1. Disable HTC dialer (and use the Winmo one instead), can be done using Advanced Configurator 3.3.
2. Try the CAB I've attached, remember to only use WAV as ringtone though.
I would also recommend adjusting Call Forwarding timing to 30seconds. Settings/Phone/Services/Call Forwarding and get settings.
Disabling the HTC dialer is probably going to be the best solution as the HTC dialer is a hungry resource eating monster but I would just try the CAB and adjusting Call Forwarding time. There are some other REG setting as well but I never found them useful.

Hot to force louder DTMF

I've a problem with a security alarm at home.
When I call it from my Kaiser, and try to manage configuration using DTMF voice menu, key 1 is frequently not understood by the alarm. This means I have to repeat the configuration many times, hoping to obtain the desired effect.
I've noticed that the same operation using my wife Nokia phone, works perfectly. The main difference, as I can perceive, is that DTMF tones on my wife's phone are much louder. I think this helps the receiver to properly understand the commands.
I already tried to increase "feedback" DWord in soundcontrol registry section, but with no result.
I also tried long tones instead of short ones, but no way.
Is there any way to increase DTMF tones volume?
Thanks

[Q] Soft then Loud volume juimp in ringtones

I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!

You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.

This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!

Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.

I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.

Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.

Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...

I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.

Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!
