I just finished installing the new SX-56 WM03 ROM on my O2 XDA I unit. Having tried the new ROM for hours, I find it quite satisfactory and stable compared to its predecessors but there seems to be one set back though, the volume!!! It's quite noticeable that the volume had been tweaked down to about 30%, and they just made it more impossible for XDA users to hear whether there's an incoming call or message. Is there a way around this? I really hate to switch back to my old ROM just because of this!!!
Expert Advice Needed!!!
Your help will be greatly appreciated...
I have same problem... I think it's bug. If I set the system volume high, then the phone ring silent, if I set the system volume low, then the phone ring loud...
If you set the phone to 80%, means to klick under max. Than you can use 100% phone ring and volume.
Yup, that's exactly the case! you set the volume at 80% and it gives a louder voulme than having it set on 100%. I guess there is someone here who knows how to get around this problem...
So does anyone really have a clear solution to this problem? like a program I guess?

The solution: switch to ROM T-Mobile 2003 v4.01.16 ENG, and it's look like working fine without AT&T sound level bug.
I downloaded directly from T-Mobile, but I think You can find it at ftp://xda-developers.com
I think this is a different problem to the ones already posted, I'm new to this so please bear with me.
The microphone on my XDA mini s is rubbish so instead I like to use the supplied headset which is fine. You could hear calls and music at the right levels and more importantly meant I wasn't shouting....
but now the volume coming through the headset is very very low, the slider on the headset is pushed to the max and the slider on the phone is also at the top. Without changing any settings playing music in Windows Media player is fine. Why would the voulme for calls suddenly be different to the volume levels in other apps?
Hope somewhere here can help.
Thanks
I have the same problem, since upgrading to 2.24 rom, over bt headset. Hope someone who knows more reads this too...
I haven't upgraded any roms, this problem has just appeared. Another part of this problem is the person I'm calling via the headset say they get an echo of their own voice. Anyone one got any ideas?
Thanks
Problem solved, it was sent back to O2 and they said they changed the circuit board!! Easy fix really!!! :?
man, i dont want to send mine in... i need it on a day-to-day basis for my business. how long were you without it?
Hopefully someone here can help me. I have the new T-Mobile MDA and I leave it on all the time. When I pick it up in the morning, the phone has no sound coming out of it. Toggling the volume up, down, off, vibrate, anything.... doesn't make a difference.
If someone calls me when my phone is in this mode, it only vibrates and my ringtones don't play either. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone. I'm not sure if this happens due to leaving the phone on while charging or from leaving the phone on for more than 24-hours at a time.
Any help you guys could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sounds an unusual problem - which ring tone are you using? and are you using any profile program and which today plugins have you got installed?
3 things you could do -
1. disable any added plugins\profiles,
2. use default windows ringtone,
3. if all else fails - hard reset and see if this still occurs without any added programs - if it does prob hardware problem and you will need to return to supplier,
Anyone has the same problem???
When calling someone whos already on the phone, I get the usual busy tone - but on the Vario II's speaker (loud) (like it turns the speaker on automatically,... weird) Its annoying if I want to make a quite call at the office!
Yep, I get that as well! Effin' annoying it is as well when you've got the unit to your ear
I had this same issue once. I am using a HTC branded TyTN. My normal network is Cingular in the US, and I do not get this issue when using my Cingular SIM. I was recently in Singapore using a SingTel SIM, and the busy tone would come out the speaker. When I switched to a M1 SIM (also in Singapore, blasted SingTel does not allow data on prepaid!), I did not have the problem anymore. I also did not have this when using SMART prepaid in Manila or when using DTAC prepaid in Thailand. Also, I was using the stock TyTN ROM at the time. I have since switched to 1.35, but I have not had a chance to travel yet to see if the new ROM fixes the issue.
Same here. Really annoying.
Any solutions, guys?
Here is a fix, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/BusyTone and change the wavfile for a quieter one, I use the busytone.wav file which i think gets installed withe skype ( i am not quite sure where it is originally from, just found it in my windows directory).
Or you can just remove the letters from the 'script' entry there - as I posted earlier today, which will disable it completely.
I don't know if this has been asked/answered but when i dial a phone number using the keypad the sound of the keys goes through the external speaker on the phone- is there a reg edit to make dialing key sounds go through the earpiece and not the speaker?
Thanks
I have the busy tone problem with my O2 trion. I use the workaround of nathanlock and it works great. I also contacted HTC about the problem. They claim that they have never heard about it.
touch tones and busy tone really loud
I have the same issue. i'd really like to fix both. the busy tone is extremely loud, and the dialing tones let everyone in a 10 cubicle radius know you are making a call. I have a love hate relationship with my 8525. love the things it can do, hate the things it sometimes does....
found some sound keys for the dial buttons in the registry, but nothing that looks like volume settings for them.
I have the same issue! it was really anoying... not anymore
tone problem
Nero would you like to explain how you solved the problem
I'm also having the problem with the tones coming out of the speaker when dialling. Additionally when i push the red/orange phone button the phone makes a high pitched sounds from the speaker.
I really dont remember either of these problems a couple weeks ago when I finished properly flashing it. Some one mentioned skype. I did recently install that.
Same here. Strange problem.
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.
Keypad sound issue
I only have the keypad issue. I have looked around but have not been able to find a solution. I would like to have the sound from the keypad in the earphone not on the speaker.
Is this the way the tytn is setup or is it just the group here that has the issue?
Can your "Busy Tone" fix also fix the keypad speaker problem?
Softbank X01HT
HTC Hermes 200 - IPL 1.01 / SPL 1.40.Oli / ROM 3.24.0.4 / GSM 1.40.30.00 (WM6 LVSW Edition 2007/04/08) + Wifi update
I've solved the keypad issue by selecting "Off" in the Keypad combo box at the end of the Phone Setting Page.
I hope it helps.
Cheers

I not really sure where you set this option, keypad combo?
It may be me, but can you be more specific, please?
The option I've found is under Settings-> Phone
You may see three Combo lists: Ring type, Ring Tone and Keypad
For the Keypad you can have "Long Tones", "Short Tones" and "Off".
If you take the last one you won't hear anything when you press use the keypad for making a call.

Great got it, Thanks! How blind am I?
Solution to busy tone problem
I had the same problem regarding the busy tone going through the speaker. I also had the added aggravation that, after each time that problem happened, my calls would divert straight to voicemail until I soft reset.
Another problem I used to have was that if I had call waiting and tried to answer the waiting call, the phone would freeze and I would have to soft reset with the stylus.
I was using an SPV M3100 with the original Orange UK ROM in Spain, with a Vodafone Spain SIM.
I believe these are simply bugs in the early radio roms. They show up with unpredictable combinations of roaming or using different sims than those of the original ROM operator's.
I fixed both problems by upgrading my radio.
Hope that helps.
Hi friends.
Two quick questions:
1. How can I decrease the volume when I receive phone calls? Yesterday I was on the phone, volume ALL DOWN yet people could hear what the other party was saying.
2. Every now and then when someone calls me, I either don't hear anything and he has to call back or else the conversation is a pain as sound keeps on cutting.
Are there any fixes for these?
Cheers.
1) known problem, no solution. The problem is HD2 thinks the volume is lower then it is, and that is why it won't let you lower the volume anymore. If you turn the volume all way up first, you will be able to lower it.
2) never happened to me.
Thanks mate, hopefully someone can help with #2.
I fixed #2.
Basically 3G reception is a pain in my area so I set the phone to always use GPRS and everything is now working like a charm.
