Call Volume - Desire HD Themes and Apps

Having come from the HD2 I was suprised to not be able to change the ring type on the DHD, for instance I always used to have my phone set to vibrate then ring with an increasing ring volume, yet with the DHD I dont seem to be able to do this..
Is there an app or something I am missing perhaps?

168 reads and no replys?
Am I missing something so obvious that everyone is just ignoring me or does nobody else actually use/want that feature?

Nope, you are not missing something.
It's not like the HD2.
I am unaware of any such application, but given the number of applications, there should be one!

I know its not the "same" as the HD2 but you would expect something simple like that to be possible surely..

Wow! Android doesn't have this option? I knew I should have stayed in WM 6.5...
Grumblings aside, I've found this post in a forum:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/115984-vibrate-then-ring.html
Basicaly, they say to use an app called Ringriser and use an increasing volume together with "ring and vibrate at same time" or use "ring and vibrate" (with a custom ringer) and create a ringtone with some seconds of silence in the beginning.

Get an Admin to move this to development tread + see if some one picks it up
Id like to see a vibration setting where it can be altered - to buzz more or less also.
Ive missed a few calls due to the low speaker o/p and an alternating buzz (with tweaks) would be great

Some of the SMS notification apps in market offer the ability to change vibration modes etc, but I haven't seen any specifically for a phone call. If spotted will re post.

By the way jusk want to ask a question...
Can we change the speaker,dont understan about hardware but can we use an other produced or suitable speaker for dhd ?

Increasing call volume from front speakers

Is there a way to increase the volume of the front speakers on our SGS, its pretty hard to hear and even at 100% volume it feels like 25% the front speaker test has a pretty high volume you could hear the test tone even while the phone is a few meters away..
EDIT:
Id like to add that the automated voices from the operator say dialing a wrong number is pretty audible but once im talking to a person that volume drops to someone like whispering..

[Q] How to make the speaker louder

I just bought my HD7 and the speaker is very low and i have it on level 30.
Is there any way of making it more loud??
Please for all the help that i can get.
Hi that is an issue with the HD7 and we are hoping MS will fix the issue with the future updates
You might have also noticed the camera is rubbish for long distance shots as well
and that you cant add a custom ringtone.
so stay put and hope they update our software quickly

so.....many.......replies.....must.....contain.....self....
To the original poster, what Hardware Revision is your phone? Mine is version 0002 and I find the speaker to be quite loud for ringing, notifications, and music. For Netflix, the volume is very low.
To the other posters... if your only contribution to this forum is stuff like "this phone is rubbish," please leave.
same with mine ringtones alerts and music sound is very low but playing games like bejewelled and metro blocks in game sounds and music is very very loud I have to turn it down.
Same issue here. One way around it is to use Chevron ringtone installer to get your own tunes onto the phone (works for alarms and alerts) but before you do use Audacity t increase the sound on the tune before converting to the correct format for the phone. I have done this and now my ringtone,alarms and alerts are plenty loud enough for noisy environments.
i used all the above.
To be exact on the games only the sound is loud..
The ringing of all the sounds that i tested is too low..
i cant ever hear it when its in my pocket and it rings..!!
I hope the ota update that is on its way, should fix the registry key that does all that.
lets hope , it is very low

Actually the volume is the same,l do not know what set up are You using but l test all 3 preset and volume is same. But still for all others if you have on your hd7 installed custom ringtones you can make this ringtones (edit the ringtone) in some app for editing music,and play with equalizers so you can have louder tones. Still my opinion is that hd7 has some software limitations-volume simple must be louder-common how can we hear phone in pockets or handy bags. New Nokia phones are much much loader so...HTC do SOMETHING!
also the speaker volume is maximum 10 in Hd7 is this the same for all the devices?

I have already installed even the rom 1.60.401.01 since my phone had 1.23.401.01 when i bought it, i made the update to the build 7008 via zune but nothing changed.
I installed also HTC Sound Enhancer but the increase was about 2% louder than before enabling the Dolby option since SRS did nothing at all.
I hope that Microsoft & HTC with solve that problem on the upcoming NoDo Update..

Just put your phone inside your pocket and walk on the street at some big cities like LA, or San Francisco, i bet nothing could warn you about the phone except the vibration of the phone itself.
The sound from outside world are so many and come to your ear the same time, how could you expect to hear your favorite ringtone from your god **** phone inside your pocket? Bring the external speaker and stick it on your ears, you will hear it!
I don't know about you guys phone, i can hear my ringtone from my HD7 while i am talking to friend at the hall.
When i used a TPU material case (harder than silicon but more flexible than hard plastic case) seems to absorb sound leakage from phone build (HD7 has 'flimsy' batter case). Immediately after installing, sounds like ringtones ard keyboard tapping sounds have improved noticeably. Hopefully this gives u a temp fix...

I also have this stupid bug, annoys the hell of me, as i work in a noisy place i often cannot hear the phone ringing before its finished...
I've tried to find a solution, but still no luck.. It's not a largely discussed item yet..
But i cant hardly believe we are the only one with this issue...

Did somebody find a solution ?
Can't help with the soft-to-loud ringtone problem.
But to get a loud ringtone, I sound edited a ringtone file to play as loud as possible (with some distortion) and worked quite well. Not loud enough for a construction site, but OK for most noisy indoor situation. I used Audacity on a PC to increase the playback decibel (I think +5db made noticeable difference).
Thanks for the answer...
It's my first android phone (comin' from a htc touch diamond 2), is it a common problem with android phone or it's only with the o2x?
Is the problem only on stock rom or also on custom (modaco, CM7,...)?

Speaker phone

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you guys also believe the speaker phone for the incredible s sucks? The volume is EXTREMELY low even at max and I end up having to just put the phone to my ear and turn off the speaker phone
Are there any fixes? I remember my Touch Pro 2 had a similar problem, but for the ringtone volume. It was fixed with a patch.
I tried searching and didn't find any info about this.
Thanks!
ive also noticed that my speaker volume in a call is extremely low... the same speaker on an app like slacker personally seems like double the volume :S?....
anyone else noticed anything like that...
I find the volume for speaker phone really sucks. Companies now are to horny to get their product out. Instead of taking time to make sure everything is working properly. Hopefully there will a patch.
I totaly agree with you, it sucks

same issue for me!
I have been trying volume+ and dsp manager with cm7 to try to fix it.
They don't seem to work together well so i had to uninstall dsp manager with tibackup.
Volume+ seemed to work at first...but i dont know if the changes are persistent or if my taskmanager killed it.
Good luck to everyone else, please post a fix if you have one of your own.
I guess it's a problem for all of us !
It's terrible on all htc phones.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
yes me too. Wish there was a way to improve this. Anyone know how to look up the speaker specs? If we can compare toa phone with good speaker phone then we can determine whether its purely hardware or if anything can be done in software.
It's hardware I think all of htcs phones have bad speakerphones. There are threads about it in almost every device forums.
Did you guys give a try to Volume+ application?

It really boosted sound on my Desire.. So I am sure IS will be good too..

In-Call volume very low

Hey everyone,
I have the problem that the call-volume is very low. I've already tried different settings, but there is not really any help.
Does anyone have the same issues? When I'm in a silent ambient, it is okay, but e.g. in the train it is really hard for me to understand the other person.
And no - my ears are not THAT bad
Haven't really noticed an issue with mine, although not usually calling from anywhere that is too noisy.
yes i have that prob.setting the qualiser to bright and disabling speaker voice enhancement improves it a little. but still the call volume is low.
Yes i also feel its bit low... but not very low!
For me it's good enough!
When I have a call in quiet place or a noisy place like in the city or a cafe or something, I understand everything good
i have that problem tooooo.in fact i fight with my gf every time cuz i cant hear what she say ,any advice to fix this problem?can i change some setting and fix this?
It's not that bad! Try using the earphones

Did this solution work for anyone? I am not seeing much difference, please help me if there is any third party application which can be used to boost the volume.
I've wanted to find out if there's a way for some time!
I connect to my car via aux cable for hands free.
But when I get a call I have to increase volume 7 or 8 steps for me to hear.
And then when the call finishes, I get deafened from when the radio kicks back in!
