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

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 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?
Hello,
There is 3 cabs file posted which solves 3 sec delay and low rington problem on wm5 Just search .It is basically a registry hack

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¬ifications 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.
HTH
ringtone problem
yea all 3 volumes are set to the max level
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.
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!
Hi!
My son called me while listening to an audiobook yesterday where I recently swapped my iPhone for one of my older Androids (Samsung S3 with custom Omega v61 ROM). I had already silenced everything in settings (power button mute etc) and to my surprise the Philips headset was ringing - and LOUDLY too I might add (almost died).
So I spent a lot of time with Tasker and SoundAbout (vibrate on all profiles but none seems to do the magic) but really haven´t been able to sort this one out. I do want the headset to be able to be used for calls also but my "optimal setup" would be that the phone vibrates while a caller calls me muting the BT headset until I have answered making sure the "ringer stays quiet" both on the phone and headset.
The weird part is that the ringtone is not the default of my phone (which has a custom silent.mp3 tone). So I thought it was built into the Philips headset but then I remembered that if I muted my iPhone it works as expected leaving me in hope of solving it for Android as well.
If anyone have time to solve this with me I would be very very grateful.
Thanks guys.

Root Call Blocker
I am very happy that I found Root Call Blocker. It makes sure that my eardrums stays clear of "incoming ringtones at max volume" while listening to my audiobooks. Great.
It seems they "block" the call before the system "acknowledges" it which perhaps explains why its possible where other fails. Are there any way of RCB asking me (popup etc) if I want to "take the call"? As in: it solves my issue, but on occasion it would be great to be able to answer if I want to. Can it be setup in a more clever way or solved with another app than this? Again: the whole point is to make sure that the BT headsets dont "call / alarm" when theres incoming calls. I do however want the phone to "vibrate" (which it now does thanks to RCB). So there only one wish left and that is if RCB could "notify" me that there are a call "ringing" asking me if we should continue to ignore or "answer" the call..
