I've searched and read but can't seem to find anywhere that answers my question.
After flashing to the newest DCD and then patching with the Verizon CAB I can't seem to find anywhere on my phone to alter the ring volume. I can change the ringtone but not the volume. Any ideas?
-Reason
Have you clicked on the speaker icon at the top of the screen??
Just soft reset it and got the volume icon back - no idea what caused it but its back now.

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.
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
I have a rooted, Liberted HTC Aria. I can set the volume all the way down to vibrate via the rocker, place it on the table, call it from another phone, and the phone will ring.
When I re-check the volume level it is set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
I have repeated this over and over as I though I was just accidentally hitting the rocker while it was holstered, but that's not the case.
I've tried downloading volume lock. I set the phone to vibrate and test volume lock to see if it works.
It does, I get a message to confirm new volume level, if i don't it stays on vibrate, as indicated by the vibrate icon.
Then you call the phone... The phone rings and the volume is now set to the quietest ring, not vibrate.
Any ideas, this is a huge inconvenience at work?
Thanks.
Don't know how old this thread is, but I will tell you, you are not going crazy.
I have a vibrant that is rooted and custom rom loaded.
I've had the custom rom for 3-4 months now.
I reloaded some crappy rom, and after I did that, no matter what rom i put on it, I get this ringer problem.
So, no, it's really a problem, you're not imaging it.
So far I can only think that the default build.prop has been funked with.
Or, one of the programs that you installed is messing with it.
I think that it more likely is #1 because on fresh install the phone is fine. But upon reloading all my apps (apps only, no data/ system data), the damn phone will funk up and do the ring crap again.
So, try Odin - to stock and from there, flash a brand new rom and restore one by one.
Sorry mate, that's what I've found, it sucks. I hope you found a solution for this. Like I said, I have a Vibrant, so I don't browse the "Aria" forum at all. I found this thread on GOOGLE.
If you find out anything, PLZ PLZ PLZ, - contact me.

I've got the latest energy rom installed. Recently realized the ring volume is really soft but volume is at 100%. If I go sounds and notifications tab and click the play button to preview the ringtone, it is the normal volume.
Any idea what's going on? Even notifications are normal volume. Only ringer and maybe SMS. A regedit fix would be helpful... I've toyed around in there to no avail.
Thanks!
