I was looking around the forums and find a couple spots on how to increase the volume while u are talking on the phone. Unfortunately i cant find the entries in the registry. Does any1 know how to increase the volume gain for the Cingular 8525? Much Help is appreciated!
Here is what i found:
Code:
Fix low volume issue
The volume issue has 2 fixes, 1 permanent and 1 temporary.
If you disable the startup animation (see below) it permanently fixes the volume problem.
If you like the animation you can leave it, but you have to put your phone in sleep mode then bring it out of sleep mode after every reboot.
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295
then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again.
Disable/change the startup animation or sound
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
Enabled - change from 1 to 0 to turn everything off and permanently fix the volume issue.
You can also customize the animated boot up by deleting or changing 2 keys. (Doing this does not fix the volume issue)
Delete the WAVFile Key to remove the sound only.
Delete the GIFFile Key to remove the animation only.
Put your own .GIF file or .WAV file on the phone and rewrite the 2 keys (WAVFile GIFFile) to the new file location. i.e. \My Documents\Files\?CustomAnimation.gif

That is specific to the new cingular ROM. I will look into overall loudness though, but the 8525 is pretty loud already.
I just picked up the phone last week...i love it except for me the volume it too low!
Here is my Device Information:
ROM Version 1.30.502.1
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
It seems really old compared to what the rest of you have.... What is the different between flashing the ROM and Radio?
I just spin the scroll wheel up and it gets plenty loud.

Did you buy it new at a Real store since you should have
ROM Version 1.34.502.1 Dated 09/21/06
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
At the minimum.
Anything newer than 1.34.502.1 is since we like to try new test ROMS
Your version was a pre-release ROM from Cingular.
Doesn't work for me
I have an 8525 with the new Cingular 2.06 rom. I disable the start up in the registry and when I soft reset it enables itsel again.

You need to read about making sure your registry changes are being saved before you reset. Search the forum, but here's a quick overview
Make registry changes
turn off device
wait ten seconds
turn on and then reset
or reset using software reset like pocket plus or similar

Did you try to stop the sound and not the splash screen? It did that to me so I turned off the entire boot splash and sound. It stuck then and now just shows Green WM splash while booting.
It Worked!!!
It worked!!! I just did this reg change and the sleep and wait 10 sec and turn back on and reset.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
Now what does the following key change do?
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295
is it for the ear in call volume, and what does it do?
Thanks.
Allan
I would like to know what that does too. I did change that value and I don't think I see a difference.
Worked great. Thanks!!!
Are these hacks specific to certain ROM versions? I have the HTC ROMs and tried these and i still find the volume to be low. I had the original iMate (Himalaya) then the Prophet now Hermes.
Of all three, the Himalaya had incall volume close to a normal phone. Since then i found the Prophet to be way lower. A ROM upgrade helped slightly. I thought my dissatisfaction with this would end with the Hermes purchase but i think the incall volume level is even lower than the Prophet!!!
I can't believe i'm the only one with this impression. Volume levels can be a bit subjective so i'm not sure how easy it is to compare with others. But if for instance you hold the device at a couple of feet away from your ear (less than an arms length) and replay a voice mail message at full volume, can you hear that there is any audio coming out of the device? Even in a relatively quiet room, just TV playing quietly in the background i can 't tell.
Someone with a Razr or any normal phone can be heard (other party on line) from many feet away at max volume.
This is my one o/s issue with this device. The speakerphone vol is much better than the Prophet and is quite good.
Anyone found a real universal solution for ths incall volume issue yet?
first using HERM200 with
ROM 1.18.255.3
Date 07/22/06
Radio 1.16.00.00
Ext ROM 1.18.255.106
then updated on Mar 26 2007 to
ROM 2.11.255.1
Date 03/07/07
Radio 1.38.00.10
ExtROM 2.11.255.102

OK...so I had to disable the StartupAnimation key also...that is turn it to "0" and then theere was no sound..the GIF still flashes on startup...but no sound....Mannnn the sound was irritatin...
I have found that the best way to get the loudest incall volume is to put/make sure that setacousticparam is in the rom.
Here's the link to the thread where i put detailed instructions and the required files to add it to any rom you want...

I realize I'm a novice here but, where exactly do you type/put this information? I'd really like for this to work because the volume on my 8525 via BT is really low.

lemme help u here....You have to do all this in teh Windows REGISTRY....
Download the Total Commander Registry Editor to make these changes on ur 8525.
Search abt REGISTRY and this editor on Google to learn before you play around with registry settings..OK?

Phone: 8525
ROM: WM6
Problem history: Started 2 months after upgrade from WM5
Backed-up using SPB and did a hard reset and problem continues. (Perhaps I backed up and reinstalled the problem as I didn't check for ring before restoring.. doh!)
OK, I know what you are thinking and yes I have settings set for Vibrate AND Ring under sounds and whne I click play for the test sound it rings and vibrates, but when a call comes in it vibrates and a very low hiss comes from the speaker intermittently.
When set to ring only I get only the intermittent hiss.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Had the same problem several times. Has something to do with a registry setting. I think it was a3pw0 and Setacousticparam. Which ROM do you use?
Try flashing updated WM6 ROM.
Double check the volume in the speaker icon at the top of the home screen. I was so used to using the HTC homescreen i fogot and had the same problem after i altered it. Just double check the right hand slider.
I know its obvious so sorry if you tried it
Good luck fella
Low Volume stetting
Hello
Had the same Problem several times and the solution was always the volume slider which was down. I think the HTC Home makes this sometimes automatically when you have a date in your organizer. But I don't have the automatic Profile setting. I don't know how to solve this instead of setting the volume up again.
Greetings Pudl
no ringtone
l have the same problem change radio
I had the same think happen on my wifes Prophet, ended up being hardware problems.
Is there anyway to prevent the screen going into lock mode when either making a call or receiving a call as this is very annoying when using the sat nav and then a call comes in and then locks the screen and turns it off whilst I am answering it. This of course then shuts off the sat nav ??
Any help appreciated.
Me too! Toshiba must think we are too inept to press the power button.....
I can remember when I got a call and answered on my bluetooth headset whilst trying to navigate
Come on people, there must be somebody that knows how to switch this off, hard to believe that more people dont suffer with this.
It has to be in the registry somewhere, I have had a look and found the settings but I will mess around with it tommorow and hopefully find the fix!
Now to stop the annoying shutter sound on full volume when taking pictures..... lol

Try this (taken from modaco, it worked on mine)
You can't mute the shutter sound , It sounds loud even in silent mode!!! Thats very indiscreet....
I've found two solutions:
1) (Obvious) To edit the file sonority.wav on \Windows
Or to modify the register
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\GeneralSetting\ShutterSound
Replace Current (0) for 2 This number links to a file Thunder.Wav that doesn't exist
Oooh the camera one works! I tried changing the volume key to 0 but that didn't work!
I did what you said with the Thunder.Wav and it worked brilliantly! Thank you!
Now screen lock, Press the power button before the annoying screen comes on. Does that stop it from locking?
If it doesn't, try this, when the screen pops up informing the screen is about to be locked, press the power button (basically beat it from turning it off) and press the power button to turn it back on. It seems to work some of the times on mine

Not working for me, the lock message just pops back up again..
incidently the Reg should work as well on the camera issue as thats what I done to get mine working, although as long as it has worked thats all that matters.
Anyone else assist with this issue ?

i think this just delays the lock screen by 22 secs or so... & that the lock screen returns every 22 sec interval thoughout the call...
did you ever find the reg setting for this? do you mind sharing whre you were looking inb the reg for the setting?
on htc i think it's mklm\drivers\builtin\ril\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
but tg01 does not have this....
cheers
I have tried looking in the registry and I havent been able to find anything!
There must be a way to stop it locking..... and the setting must be in the registry if it only locks after 22 seconds after pressing the power button!
It is very annoying, I just hope the new 6.5.3 rom when it gets released will not have this so called feature.
What were they thinking...

now, what to change to stop that terrible noise when we start and stop video recording?
Coudn't find exactly the same problem using search - so maybe I'm the only unlucky one.
Had to return the HD2 that came to me today because of this - luckily it was before I paid for it...
What happens:
When in-call, I press the volume up/down key to adjust volume. Then the speaker starts to buzz (like a high-voltage powerline) and nothing can be done about it (even ending the call doesn't help - it just buzzes. Soft-reset removes the noise, but the bug reappears after adjusting the volume again.
What chances are the trouble was faulty hardware and I'll get working one next day - or is that a software problem and I should have accepted the delivery and reflash it?
Didn't notice exact versions, but it was like 2.07 Radio and 2.13 ROM.
Hallo,
everytime one adjusts the volume of the HD2 with the devices hardware buttons, the step is very high.
I have been searching the forum, but I didn't find any solution, how to decrease the stepwidth - only have seen, that some other people have the same issue (but no solution).
Is there any possibility to manipulate the stepwitdh????
I have checked the registry and I am wondering if in one of the following reg.keys the stepwidth might be coded:
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay
=> I guess this is the HTC Volume control screen, which appears when you press the hardware buttons. But I have no clue if one of the entries defines the stepwitdh.
The other possibility I see here:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume
I would like to have some feedback, before trying to mess in the registry.

I do remember there being a fix for this, as far as I can remember it was an image that you drop and dragged into your windows folder and that some how fixes it.
I do think it's quite annoying, it's also really laggy when I hold down my volume key as opposed to tap it per each jump in volume level.
Anyway I don't know where it is but hopefully someone can post it cause I'm after it aswell
maybe you already know, but you can adjust the slider onscreen with your finger and achieve smaller steps of adjustment than can be achieved using the hardware buttons.....
@rumpleforeskin
I know that via touchscreen the volume can be adjusted finer. The issue is...
well try this, while you have your mobile in the beltpocket, listening to music.
I just want to adjust the volume in this situation with the hardwarekeys.
Hugo the JungleDyret
I don't understand why there isn't a fix for this, volumex is a commercial program that does it. But the normal volume control app is perfect, only the steps are indeed way to big...
yeah, i have the same problem i usually listen to max -1 or -2 bars (trance music) and everytime i have to resort to using fingers to slide the volume to max-1/-2. is there a way to adjust each button press = 1 bar?
Anyone know a registry fix for this?
try this, maybe it'll help
Hi. Can anyone share how to increase the ringtone volume, preferrably thru' the RegEdit?
I realised that my ringtone got softer and weakter recently after downloading the Cookie's Home Tab and CHT 1.8.5., even though I have set the volume to maximum for both 'System' and 'Ring', and thru the 'Sounds & Display' menu.
Hope someone here can guide me to it. If not I will have to consider hard resetting the whole phone. Thanks.
yeh, same question
Has also happened to me after loading 2.14 radio ROM. Anyone else? Otherwise this radio has been good with stock ROM 1.66
