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
I know there is a tweek to disable the beeps for in-call volume changes, but is there a tweek to disable the beeps for all volume changes? I do not want to disable all sounds, just the volume change beeps? I have searched through the threads and if I missed it I am sorry...please point me to it if I have.

Hey Rudix,
Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317784&highlight=in+call+volume+beep
Gavin.
You can also try using Advance Config v2.0 which has two options to change the volume beep. When using cooked ROMs the there is another place in the registry that requires changing.
Hi
I tried advanced config, but had no luck in turning of the volume change beep (the "in call") beeps are off. Any ideas?
I am having this same issue. Any idea to stop the volume change sound? I want the volume buttons to be always silent.
Hi,
When browsing the HD2 forums (I'm gonna get one in a few days, yay!) I found this:
75. Disable Beeps When Altering Volume
When you press the volume key you getting annoying beeps. This tweak allows to change the volume silently without the beeps.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute Change from 3 to 1.
It worked on my TP and on also on my Wizard (running WM6.1) so I assume it'll work on a Tilt/Kaiser too.
Cheers,

This is rediculous.. but apparently winmo doesnt allow you to play music while the phone is set to vibrate...
Is there any way I can get around this?
I dont want my phone ringing in the middle of class, and I dont want to risk forgetting to switch my phone back into vibrate after i finish listening to music.
In all honesty i dont see how this will be possible. I understand your issue however the X1 is effectively cutting off all sound from the unit, pretty much like hitting MUTE on your desktop/laptop master. I could understand if third party software could get around this but i just tested out youtube player for example and good as gold it cut the sound right off whilst on vibrate.
I dont think there will be a solution for this to be honest...i hope im proven wrong though, sure there will be a genius on here with an answer
Maybe I really am just asking for too much. But all of my previous feature phones allowed playback through headphones in vibrate mode. And if no headphones were plugged in, the device asked if I wanted to continue and playback music through the speakers anyway (while keeping vibrate mode active).
i may be a bit confused about your question.
im not sure but your phone shouldnt ring on your phone outlet speaker with headset plugged in.
i guess you can make a null ring tone....
I noticed this the other day in class also. I put my phone on silent and went to the music player and it wouldn’t give any sound to the headphone, the only way was to put the volume back up but this meaning if any one text or rang your phone the class would all hear.
I hope there is a solution for this
one fix is in the volume setting ( the one that pops up when you press volume up or down), turn the phone setting all the way down... you wont hear your phone ring but you can still play music.
another way is to just set the phone ring setting to just vibrate mode only. (haven tried it tho yet as no need for me too but just trying to offer solutions). lots of options in the setting, sound notification menu.
it might not be a one touch solution but i think it can be set up to the way you want it too.
I dont have a solution but I gotta ask... listening to music in class???? At the risk of sounding old fogeyish (I cant believe the spell checker let that word through) shouldnt you be listening to the teacher/lecturer?
Wait, can't you put the ringer on vibrate, but keep the system sound on? That's what I would do. I use the touch audio control so when I use the volume rocker I can switch between ringer and sytem.

No no you missed the point.
I'd listen to music on the way to school. Then I'd turn off the bluetooth once i was done listening. Heres is the problem, once i turned off the bluetooth headset i use, the phone returns to normal sound mode, and is free to ring during class if I forget to switch it back to vibrate.
And I guess I could just manually switch everything to vibrate, but on the weekends I like being able to hear my phone ring.
I'll just have to change the phone to and from vibrate mode when i listen to music I guess...
Why don't you set the ring volume to 0% (don't press silent or vibrate, just set the ring volume down) and leave the system volume where you want it?
Works without problems here.

Does setting ring volume to 0% make the phone vibrate?
Cause not hearing any ringing or getting any vibrating might be just as bad XD
Shadowdh, I was being a bit vague/mixed up, so the fault is mine. No need for apologies

dude you haven't even tried it and yet you already commented on it .heh
the answer is NO it doesn't set to vibrate not just yet. if you click you're speaker icon on your top left screen(almost) it will pop you up a volume panel which consist of left: the system sound and the right: the phone speaker sound consists of six levels each top most being the highest and bottom being 0%. then below a setting of 3 radio buttons for ON, VIBRATE, and OFF.
now setting the right slider to bottom most and setting the left slider on top most gives you full system sound but 0% phone speaker sound. the radio button is autonatically still at ON and not VIBRATE by then. that is your only choice so far.
another problem afterwhich is, you won't hear any phone ring whenever someone calls you up even through your earpiece. that's just darn. I guess it's just a winmo device problem aprt from your previous phones. SEs I guess.
things SE didn't consider to take a look coz SE people lifestyles are music, camera,and or business and or both.
one more thing, when you turn your volume maxed up. you phone will ring even when the earpiece is plug. there's just no setting to turn it off. I mean for silent users who lstens to music by earphones, most of the time they like it that the speakers are just off and every sound just goes by the earphones. There is simply no setting for that.
in previous model of SE's whenever you plug an earpiece and the phone recognizes it. the phone automatically turns to headphone mode, which utilizes only the earphone as the source of sound and nothing else UNLESS specified in the settings. there has been an issue that users forget to unplug their earpieces that they misses x number of calls the whole night while their phone vibrate silently on their bags or table with their earpieces plug. That is the reaon SEs newer models after k750i I think coz I got a k750 and a w800i which is consecutively released. the w800i and so forth features a earphone mode setting but their phone speakers still rings as well as sounds when an sms goes in even if the earpieces are plugged, without a setting to disable it.
It just the way it is, and some people still need that feature. Like me. I don't want people to hear my phone ringing in public places like a market, street at dawn or related areas. Whenever I wanted to listen to music when someone calls, send an sms, the phone just simply sounds off, publicly.
Another comment/workaround a read is a null tone. Might work, but you have to manually set a null tone for calls, as well as for SMS. without any automation like a uh NULL profile perhaps.

I've set my phone to always ring AND vibrate on incoming calls (so I recognize incoming calls even if the music in my living room is very loud ). So if I decrease the ring volume to 0% it does vibrate.
this is like saying i wanna close my eyes and still be able to see something.
As a more lateral solution, have you tried using something like SPB Phone Suite to set either manual or time based profiles?
I'm thinking you could have something like a travelling profile with bluetooth on and sound on and a school one with the phone/system on vibrate and bluetooth off. You could then either change manually with two clicks of the home screen or have it change automatically dependant upon time.
ill always use flightmode! easy and safe...

the problem I encounter here is that phone calls are muted and it's great, but it will still ring through the speaker if an sms is received
any solutions?
this makes it impossible to listen to music at quieter (and most usually boring) places!
Possible Solution
I'm not sure if this works on the ROM you're using, but I'm using Touch-IT 3.5 and it allows me to automatically put the phone on vibrate during appointments.
You could set your classes as appointments and not need to worry about it from then on.
My Touch Diamond has stopped ringing, The setting is for ring and vibrate with a standard ringtone, which works when played from the settings page.
When the handset rings it vibrates but won't play the ringtone.
If the ring settings are changed to just ring without the vibrate, the screen lights up showing the incoming call but won't ring. I've done a soft and a hard reset and restored a previous back up with no joy. Is it broken or is it a software issue.
I haven't been playing with the rom. This just a standard handset.
Suggestions ?

Try a hard reset but don't restore from backup. This backup file will only replicate your current state. Just do a hard reset then test.
try converting all the files you want as ringtones from mp3s to wav files. been good for me winff is a good program to use.
I had the same problem.
Press and hold the volume up button and then quickly press left arrow.
You will go to another volume control screen.
Press and hold the volume up button and the problem is solved
Hihi,
I just recently updated my N1 to FRF83 on stock all the way and have started to experience a problem during my incoming calls and would like to ask if anyone else experiencing this as well.
Even after setting all volumes (notifications,ringing,media etc etc) to 100%, whenever I get an incoming call the phone doesn't ring and it only vibrates/LED trackball.
I've doubled checked that there isn't any contact-specific settings for ringtones and also tried using a volume control app to 100% all volumes. Also checked that its not a speaker problem cos the chosen ringtone plays alright on music players. Also tried both custom ringtones and default ringtones and there's no difference.
Been using my sister's phone to call my phone and the thing is that this situation is not consistent.
Sometimes it rings without any issue. Sometimes the ringtone rings for 3-5 secs and silences. Sometimes it does not ring while trackball/vibrate activates. Sometimes it does not ring and trackball/vibrate does not activate as well. The issue is equally inconsistent regardless of whether the phone is on standby(screen off) or active(screen on).
Thanks in advance if anyone can help
I have the same issue with the FRF91 build of Froyo. Looks like the Google forum has a bunch of people reporting this as well.
I'm going to try to go into recovery and clear the cache. If it doesn't work I'll wipe the phone and see if that fixes it.
