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.
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.
-Reason
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.
Hi,
I searched for this and can't find anything on it. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.
When using the FM radio the range of volume that the volume slider/buttons controls isn't always the same. Sometime when a message comes in and a notification plays the volume will jump up. I've tried to use the sound controls in settings to replicate this but it won't do it.
Co-incidentally, receiving messages while the radio is on also sometimes results in the tuned frequency to change :-S

This sounds like a software conflict seen this on the mini pro many times.
some apps or rom features change the volume when notifications come in... this screws with other settings put into place by other apps.
There should be "hopefully" a setting to disable this volume change in the rom.
Also please post in Q&A for future questions. Thanks
