Kaiser/Tilt Ringtone Volume Increase

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to increase the ring volume on the Tilt. I did a couple of extensive searches and all of them came up for either older phones or different phone models. Also, I read somewhere that each HTC registry differs in some manner.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction to this fix.
I would also be interested in louder speaker phone volume too.
Thank you in advance.

get into your registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. Here you will find2 setting at the bottom..."InitVol" ans "Speaker". Open these both, and change the "value" number higher than what you show. I have both set to 15...initvol was at 5, speaker was at 8 when I first got it. I also opened up the "alarm" file at the top of the tree and made sure that speaker value was set to 15 as well.
Now...I can hear it fine, but the dif. is pretty small. I read about this edit, but never heard back from the guy that posted it. I can't say for sure this is any kind of pro-approved method, as I am quite new to this phone/system myself. I had been hacking Motorolas till I got this a few weeks ago. I have no idea how high that value can be safely pushed, and by the looks of the device..the speaker is pretty small and weak anyway. Hope this helps..be careful..lol. Blow that lil speaker and you won't be hearing a thang!

Do a search for TCPMP. It is a media player. On the options>settings>select page> equalizer tab. check the "enabled" box and then "slowly" slide the "Pre-amp" slider to the right... trust me it will play louder!!!

So that volume tweak above is for ringer volume, what about external speaker volume (e.g. play music or hands free)?
What about the internal speaker volume for hearing the person on the other end of the phone?

I'm another newbie who'd like to know how to get to the registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. after I already installed PHM RegEdit.
Thank you.

Thanks works like a charm i have a tilt with 6.1

I have known about these reg hacks for quite some time but they never work for me
i checked my dec values with this new ROM and my intvol was set at 0 and my speaker was at 1. i put them both to 5, the sound actually got lower but then higher, and lower then higher. weird
set both to 15..don't really notice a difference..

It's not that bad in Kaiser though. I used to have Eten M600 which was worse in many aspects of sounds volume, esp. loudspeaker. What we did was to replace the ril_gsm.dll with a patched one plus some reg hacks.
So maybe in this case if the reg hacks simply don't work or keep reverting back to its original value, then there's more to do than just registry. Just my 2.01 cents.

does anyone know how to increase the sound for incoming message?
please advise and thanks for the share

[Q] Loudness of Speaker phone?

I have been trying multiple roms with multiple combinations of kernels and cannot seem to get this right.
I have an unlocked Rogers i896 Captivate currently running Andromeda 1.2 with Suckerpunch #50. When I put calls on speakerphone, the voice and the ringing tone are abysmally quiet. On the other hand, when the call ends/disconnects and gives you the "end call" tone, its as loud as it should be.
So my question is:
1) How do I fix it? (I have tried Speedmod to no avail)
2) Could it be my Carrier? I am on the Telus network. If anyone is in the same situation, let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi, running serendipity 5.11 and I am getting the same issue as you, I can barely hear anything on my speakerphone >,<

Download from the market a program called SamServiceMode.
Click on the audio
Click on Speaker (or handset)
Click on Volume
Click on SRC Speech RX Volume
Change # 5 which defaults on either 88 or 92 to 100 which is the max.

BTW,
This does not survive a reboot. You will have to do it again......

i can tell u this : Speedmode kernel works like a charm! the in call volume raised
allmost 30% but PP'L complaining that the sound is not natural "noisy" or not "clean"...

[Q] Galaxy Note's In-Call Volume is Too Low!!!

Hi All,
I hope all is well and you are enjoying the holiday break.
I'm having trouble with my new SGN: the "In-Call" volume is too low.
When I'm on a street or in the car (anywhere with background noise), I can barely hear what a person says when I'm talking on my phone. Headset/Speaker volume is fine and they can also be further boosted by using Volume+ app from the Market but I cannot seem to find any cure for the low In-Call volume.
I did some research online and I noticed someone has posted a trick to solve similar challenge for the SGII by using Samsung Service Code (See below)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dialer *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
OK
Press back to save.
Default values:
0_lvl: 63
1_lvl: 68
2_lvl: 73
3_lvl: 78
4_lvl: 83
5_lvl: 88
---------------------------------------------------
** I tried the same trick on SGN which I purchased from Amazon but nothing happens when I select option, [5] AUDIO. It will not drill down to next set of sub-menus even if I key in the "5" from the main menu.
Please let me know if anyone else are also experiencing the similar challenges. Thank you very much for your time.

Unfortunately the sound is a big issue here.
Supercurio is working on an app to increase the vol. THis will need root and will work only on with the headset. THis app should be released in the next few days.
I was looking for a solution to increase the speaker volume ( Not quality ) as the speaker sound is low for voice calls.
There is an app called volume+ in the market. You can try it for the speaker.

Hi drgopoos,
Are you saying that you also felt In-Call Volume for SGN is way too low? I am just curious if I have a faulty unit or this issue is concerning all SGN units in general. I did try the Volume+ App from the market and it does boost the volume for Headset and External Speaker but it does nothing to the "In-Call" Volume.
-JC

Try moving the entire phone lower onto your ear. I know it sounds obvious, but the speaker is quite high on the device and my volume was low because the speaker was too high on my ear. Once I lowered it (feels awkward) it was much louder.

Anyone else felt the volume on your SGN is way too low or am I going deaf...
Can you recommend a way to remedy this problem?

I know how frustrating it can be when the earpiece speaker isn't loud enough. My nexus one had low in-call volume and it was frustrating. My Note, however, has very high in-call volume on the earpiece speaker! I have to turn it down a few notches for comfort. I'd say you might have a defective unit, or maybe you're holding it wrong like that other guy suggested.
If you're talking about the external speaker being too quiet, the one for speaker phone calls, playing music, ring tunes/notifications, etc., then I agree. I hope Supercurio's working on a fix for that. I'm currently using an equalizer from the market that allows me to turn all frequencies up a few decibels, but at the expense of sound quality.

Mine is loud enough...

The volume is ok with ear peice when i am inside the house and silent.
However outside , when i am walking in the street its to difficult.

Both indoors and outdoors my Note is one of the loudest phones i owned. I can't complain about its ear piece. In fact, i have to lower it 2-3 clicks to be comfortable

Yeah...I got the same problem also...
Indoor works great! but outdoor...oh man....

Earpiece in call volume is good. But, speakerphone in call volume is horrendous! I've tried volume+, equalizer, volume boost, AnEq Equalizer and nothing works! Very sad.

I can't access audio menu [5]. Always loopa me back to main menu. Doea anybody know how to fix that?

Even your speakerphone while in call? That is the one place I really need it because I often use speakerphone a lot while driving or just at home.

the volume its great for me

I also find that the earpiece volume is extremely low.. its been like this with the Galaxy S1 and S2 as well...

Actually, my earpiece volume is quite good. Just a suggestion, not meant to insult you, but since the phone is so large could it be possible you are not placing the earpiece properly over your ear?
For those with poor speakerphone volume the ONLY (I've tried at least 4-5) application I found that worked is Audioboost SGS2 (It's 2.5USD in the market) but that's the only one that truly raises EVERY volume. Be careful though I think there might be potential to damage your speakerphone if you raise it too high. I have it right around 88 (highest is 93)
Hope this helps!

My European version of SGN is about the loudest phone i ever had, speaker phone wise. It's also crystal clear! maybe because i was coming from Desire HD, which had kinda awful sound

I want to retract my last statement. Audioboost does raise the in-call speakerphone volume, BUT it effectively ruins everything else. It creates ALOT of static, even at middle volume levels. It was so bad I had to revert the settings and uninstall it. The search continues...

The Call Audio Testing Thread [JB ROMS]

I figured I'd start this thread for everyone to discuss problems relating to call audio.

Today I tried from a fresh CM10 copying all the audio cfg files from Holics 1.3 (fixing files names to match CM10 where required), reboot, make calls.
I am certain that I got the back speaker louder for notifications music (to the point now where it distorts), however speaker phone and headset vol are still about the same.
The volume up/down has no effect on the volume. I can see in the live log that when I press the vol rocker, the phone is "setting" the volume step, but it has no audible effect.
I also tried copying the AIC and TPA and Adie cfg files from an HTC One V (which I'm guessing uses the same audio chips since the cfg files are named the same). No change detected.
While testing calls with a friend, he noticed that when he spoke in a low voice, or made non-word noises (banging, clapping, etc) he did not hear that echo. Whispering didn't echo. Just "regular" volume speech.
I'm starting to wonder if the changes made to the A1026 to enable in-call for AT&T phones have caused the echo issue (and possibly the broken vol control and/or seemingly single-level volume).
That's it for tonight. Feel free to post any steps you followed to test the issue here.

Im up for this

Yea I keep getting that. In calls it. Echoes or sounds muffled I have noise cancelation checked

Being that the remote user hears themselves echo, it almost sounds like the gain on the second mic is too high. So when their voice comes through on the handset speaker, the second mic pics it up, and the echo is produced. What carrier and device does everyone have? Im on ATT with a Vivid and from what I understand there's no echo, at least none that has been reported.

I'm on ATT and Vivid. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. Mostly people report I sound garbled but not with every conversation.

I'm getting reports that people are hearing themselves echo..
In Toronto on the chatr network..but the phones were originally from Rogers. On my end I have zero echo, everything is crystal clear, if a little quiet.
Sent from my Vivid 4G using xda premium

Second mic gain is what I suspect too, since quitter noises don't echo, but in my testing, I don't seem to be able to affect the mic/headset speaker gains using the configs. Though with that said, I wasn't specifically trying to reduce the top mic gain last time. I suppose that's the next step, as well as reviewing the code that loads the CSV values and sets values in software.
I'm wondering if we are not actually loading the values that are in the CSV, and are instead relying on defaults that were built in. Or the values are only loaded once. Or we have bypassed the loading or checking for changes, or something like that.
If anyone has the time to sleuth around github/XDA or wherever to find examples of kernel audio adjustments for other phones (on the same or similar boards) that would be a big help. I have had a hard time finding things on github. The advanced search seems a little less than useless to me.

I dont hear myself echo the other person does with noise cancelation unchecked and with it checked they say i sound muffled
Sent from my HTC Vivid 4G

I wonder if this is our problem - maybe the phone is ignoring the tpa config files and defaulting to stock board values, which are probably wack. I'd like to see dcacklam's git to see exactly what he's doing, but haven't found it yet. haven't looked too hard tbh. I have an idea of what he's trying to do though, I think, and may play around later - otherwise i'll try some stuff tomorrow.
He appears to be building a kernel for CM10 for the Amaze and just posted this a few hours ago (maybe helping maintain cm10, haven't searched too hard. I'm feeling lazy this evening, can you tell?):
dcacklam said:
[/COLOR]Think I have the audio-volume licked...
The phone was IGNORING the TPA2051_CFG.csv file and going with the hardcoded defaults in the driver source-file...
So I put a mix of HTC defaults, and EclipzeRemix's SpeedRom amplifier-config values (using SpeedRom numbers where no data existed in the stock TPA file) into the source-file...
And I am waiting for the kernel to build with these changes!

So as it turns out my remote parties hear themselves echo too
Lol - no one ever cared to tell me until tonight...
Same symptoms though - they hear themselves echo. But with me it doesn't seem to matter whether noise suppression is on or off, they still hear an echo of themselves, but hear me ok, and i hear them ok.
This may make it a little easier for me to troubleshoot though.
Sorry I've been telling everyone I'm not affected

I didnt know either until someone told me. At least we knowhere now

Hmmmm.... Could this method in board-audio.c have something to do with the volume being stuck at one volume?
Code:
int holiday_get_rx_vol(uint8_t hw, int network, int level)
{
int vol = 0;
/* to be implemented */
pr_aud_info("%s(%d, %d, %d) => %d\n", __func__, hw, network, level, vol);
return vol;

I saw this the other day - that was the only int vol reference I found actually. I don't understand the language well enough to know exactly what's going on or how it would need to be edited. Have you tried editing the 0 value to see if anything changes? Or do you know the language wee enough to tell it to look at the tpa configs for values...or even if that's where it would need to be done?

I'm doing a build right now with that value set to 3 to see if it changes anything.
I'm wondering if that is the method that catches the vol up/down commands and passes on the volume change.
If that's the case, what I would expect is that it has a usable range of 0-5. 0 is loudest, 5 is quietest. If that's true, here is where we would fix the volume control not working. However, that's not going to help us get the in-call volume up any higher.

I'm also testing a theory right now based on reverting this (https://github.com/Sportsstar89/and...mmit/9261a3aab974db0a376d3a398e4302e6ba53ca76) and this (https://github.com/Sportsstar89/and...mmit/56d56f55bf08dd25295bd93ae40b2df78ec30f52) (but leaving the att in call audio fix alone)
Comparing to HTC's sources (which could very possibly be very incomplete), these changes weren't there (obviously, or else they wouldn't be changes). Of course, we didn't have ATT in call audio with HTC's sources either. In the first commit, htc acoustic table values are directed to new sources (.csv files). In ATT's source, both audience and non audience were directed to aic3254 txt files. I'm thinking, since my previous "audiofix" which played with some TPA2051 values seemed to improve other audio, maybe these dsp .csv configs are only for non-call audio, and the in call audio requires a the aic .txt files? With the second commit - again, in HTC's source, they didn't have any indicators for ATT SKU 1 or ATT SKU 2, just ATT SKU3 had support_audience=1. What if not all of the ATT Vivid's have the audience chip? Only a select batch.(Edit: New theory for this is the support_audience=1 that was listed is actually defined for all 3 ATT SKU's, and the other entry "Default" is for the other models. So it's possible that the in call mic always worked if you screamed in it for ATT users, but maybe no one ever tried?) IFFFFF these theories were to pan out - it would possibly explain why some have echo and some don't, why in call audio seems worse for some people (and can't be adjusted), and possibly even why some ATT users have no trouble with in call audio on the first try, and others do. All theories though. h8rift seems like a smart dude, so chances are reverting these changes won't help a bit. But honestly, the ratio of things I've done that haven't worked/things I've fixed is like 200/3, so I won't be disappointed if nothing happens
Edit: Also - in HTC's sources "int vol = 0" as well
Edit: Well audio did initialize on the first call after flashing the new kernel and rebooting. Also rebooted again after that to test, and in call audio kicked in on the first call again. In the past after any kind of reboot, first call didn't work. Audio adjustment still doesn't work. I'll call my wife shortly to see if the echo still exists. But this appears to have at least killed the first call audio not working bug. If anyone else wants to test here you go:
zImage and bcmdhd.ko are here (https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B8HUFb41pK2eQjFZMWx6UE43VnM/edit)
Don't know about other recoveries, but with WCX, in Developer Options, you can make and flash boot from zImage. Follow on screen instructions. maybe someone else can make a boot.img and I'll make a flashable package.
Edit 2: Still echoes on remote end. Slightly, but it's there. I don't know how bad it was before though - didn't try it for myself til now. Also my wife just said it still echoes, but it's not as bad. Please test and post results (in which case I have a few other thoughts as well, but I'm going to lunch now )
The couple of calls I had over lunch said there wasn't any echo. Anyone give this a go yet?

Feedback on this^ flashed it and reports are crystal clear. Only complaint was that I was really quite. The person I called had just gotten off a call with someone else and the volume was fine so it looks like it is on my side.

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully we get a few more that report the same, then I'll start trying to tweak volumes
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2

mind posting your boot.img esloan? I tried repacking homeslice's zImage into mine but it won't boot. I must be missing something.

Is there any way to disable the secondary mic? This would (a) verify that the mic is causing the echo, and (b) provide a temporary workaround until a proper solution can be found.

2. start a voice call to test whether the volume is extremely loud or not with voice volume set to minimum.

Yes, same problem, loud call volume on headsets
Yes, noticed it on my very first call. Couldn't reduce the volume enough to be comfortable.
I also noticed that there are far fewer levels of volume available on the phone volume slider compared to for media volumes etc.
I needs a software fix or could someone suggest a volume control app or alternate dialer app?
I will look at the other threads / oneplus forum and comment there too, Cheers, S

I feel its OK and normal. Don't hear it too loud.

Same problem here, using the ear buds bought from OnePlus. Can barely put them in ear for calls. Extremely frustrating considering we can't edit the step sizes in OOS either.

Video call today with Hangouts with my wife and it almost blew my ears!
I instantly pull of the earphones from my ears.
What is even more disturbing is that the volume controls don't change ANYTHING. All reduced to lowest and the volume doesn't change a bit...
What is wrong with OnePlus?

Was this problem addressed? I didn't see it in the changelog..
Has anyone tested it?

Brand new OnePlus 5T. Used headphones on a call. nearly blew my ears off. Anyone know of an app to override the settings and make the volume lower?

All the people having this issue, are you using the EQ when listening to music and possibly not disabling that on the voice call?

I've never listed to music on the phone. I have an app for audiobooks but no EQ with it.

Solution for call headphone so loud
Hello,
The only one solution that I have found, is to root the phone with in order to install the Custom Kernel : Boeffla-Kernel
The App of this kernel let you reduce the sound of the headphone output so in communication with headphone you will have a volume as low as you want.
May be that others custom Kernel permits to do that,
Enjoy,

is that real?
i means the "VOICE Volume" not the "MEDIA Volume"
Can Boeffla-Kernel modify VOICE Volume?

Also Voice Media
