If you want the HTC Volume control
But when u install the HTC Volume control, ur volume-icon gets ugly (the standard one)
so here is the fix: (without messing up the volume icon)
First extract the files from HTC Volume Control Files.zip into windows/ directory.
second install the startup cab and then soft reset.
it will take some more time then normally to startup the first time, u wil see the volume screen when it starts up..!
TESTED ON: Xperia & HTC TP2

Hi,
I installed Dusk ultimate 5.01 rom on my htc touch hd and I had the same problem (I needed to launch the HTC volume control from the task bar once otherwise this was the ugly control that was popping out).
your cab solved it. As other files were already there in windows directory I did not overwrite them.
Still, the volume control shows up at every startup now. Is this normal? Is there a way to remove this?

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

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

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?
Hey guys, thanks for the help in advance! I have had my tp for 2 weeks now and i love it... i did install a few things like a cab for improving battery life found on ppc geeks website, i also edited the registry to allow me to tether it to my laptop, changed sending text messages so the annoying text sent message doesn't pop up, and finally changed the reply all to just reply when replying to email messages. aside from that i've installed a few apps like google maps, sensorlock, the flip clock (which i removed), fring, tiny twitter, and a weather database editor for the weather thing....
ok now that's all out of the way... somewhere along the way i've lost the ability to change the volume using the hardware buttons. when sitting at the home screen if i press the volume up, the big volume thing opens with the 2 options at the bottom for vibrate and silent, but if i press the volume up or down again, this screen dissapears and does not change the volume. i am still able to change the volume using my finger or the stylus, but this is annoying if i'm on a call or using my bluetooth headset.
i noticed yesterday that if my volume is all the way up and i press down on the volume button, the volume screen goes away like it has been, but highlights the clock, if i press it a few more times it highlights the next thing down (the call log) and again it selects the upcoming calendar events... eventually it minimizes the clock alltogether... this also happens when i press the arrow down.
i'm positive this has something to do with a registry hack or something i've installed, but i have finally got everything setup the way i like it, is there any way this feature can be restored??

Well you know the problem. You have two options. Hard reset or find the specific tweak or App that fiddled with the volume buttons.
Did you install anything like AE Buttons plus or anything else?
no, i haven't installed anything that affects buttons. i did do a hard reset, and installed only the things i knew work. everything was fine so i decided i would try a registry trick to allow me to use my tp as a means to access the internet... it worked fine but then i got a call and attempted to turn down the volume and it didn't work again.
i guess my question is, what/where is this controlled? is it something i can re-install? is there an alternative i can install?

What happened when you tried to turn down the volume. Please be very specific. The small details will matter on this one.
But one guess... You dsisabled the phone skin.
ok, when pressing volume down one time the volume screen comes on (this is the touch flow 3d volume thing) if i press volume down again to decrease the volume, the screen previously mentioned goes away and highlights the first today screen item, in this case it's the clock.
i have done some troubleshooting of my own... it doesn't seem that it's caused by anything i've installed or tweaked... i did a hard reset, and didn't install anything but went straight to the internet sharing app that comes installed on the tp. i tried to connect with usb, it failed and gave an error message (this is to be expected) but now i can't use the volume buttons... i've narrowed it as far as i can. i can do another hard reset, install all my apps and tweaks again and just avoid the internet sharing piece, but i kindof want that to work too. i would be satisfied to just fix the volume button problem and not try the internet sharing again if it's possible
edit: if the phone skin is disabled, how would i go about re-enabling it?
edit2: i did another hard reset, again didn't install anything this time... i decided i wanted to browse the internet, so i opened opera and it gave me a connection error (i'm in roaming) i dismissed the error and at the same time lost the ability to volume up and down............ any ideas?
Just an update in case anyone was following this
the dialer skin and the volume thing are totally seperate, i know this becuase i went into the registry and disabled the dialer skin to show the winmo default... the volume skin/app stayed the same.
i contacted htc support, the guy i spoke with claimed it to be a hardware issue... i refuse to believe that. this is clearly a software issue/bug
when doing a soft reset i can hit the hardware volume keys up and down before everything finishes loading and the default windows volume sliders appear and they work, but whenever the other volume program loads i can't get back to the windows default.
any help is greatly appreciated, i really don't want to replace my phone for something i know isn't a hardware issue
thanks for all the help but... i have figured out the problem... .net framework 3.5 is what's causing the volume "skin" to stop working... this is installed by default (at least on my phone) and is required to run certain apps (also previously installed)... i've notified htc... they said woops and that's about it
i was able to remove it or at least disable it with the tech's help, some apps wont work and i've noticed the weather app works sometimes and other times not at all. so if anyone else in the world is having this issue... get rid of .net framework v3.5
edit:thank you scrosler, for being the only one that even attempted to help me, you pointed me in the right direction!
i am having the same problem. i'll have to try removing the .net framework and see if that fixes my problem.
i should probably first figure out what apps are going to break if the framework is removed....
I am running NFSFANS rom but where is the htc volume control? When ever I press the volume buttons, it uses the default winmo volume control. I like the htc one. How to I get it back without reflashing?

I believe (if there is a shortcut) it should be under Settings>System.
nothing. But thanks for trying! All help is appreciated.
I believe that the HTC volume control is not compatible with 6.5 roms.
Hi all
I am back again.
You guys must be thinking how creep i am posting new problems daily
But hey!
it just cant be helped.
Well...
moving to the problem...
I just installed THIS sound mode.
I downloaded the zip archive named "63_sound_mod - max vol = 63" from HERE
It works perfectly fine!!!
Indeed the sound boost is awesome.
But i have one problem with this....
The mod disables key touch sounds (like when we click any icon/app or click on any button like the HOME button) and camera sounds.
Please, i want to enable these sounds.
Is there any way?
I already replaced Original Volume.db. Still no change. It seems its XML file.
But i also need the loud volume.
So can anyone please tell me way with which i can use the louder sound mod without disabling camera and key press sounds?

Both Viper roms have this option inside tweaks, you can wake phone using VOL UP and/or turn it off using VOL DOWN..

There is obviously a bug by using the ViperX+V1.0 ROM with the Viper Kernel...
After a few seconds, the ROM doesn't react on the volume rockers, they seem to be deactivated at some point..

Okay, the problem has something to do with Titanium Backup Pro!
Make sure you dont freeze HTC Media Link and Personalization!
I did it for hiding the Buttons in the App-Menu.
After rebooting my HOX+ the whole Sense Workspace was gone - nothing showed up, even after a few reboots.
Then I reactivated all freezed Applications in Titanium Backup Pro.
Now the volume rockers work proper for wakeup!
To threadstarter:
The Venom team done awesome work!
Get the ViperX+ ROM and re love your phone
just amazing!
Thanks.
