htc wizard microphone sensitivity increasing - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I've bought used qtek 9100. microphone sensitivity level in phone mode was good enough.
Then I did Hard reset and my friends starts complaining that they are almost can not hear me...
I've tried AGC enabled and disabled, but without success.
there are some registry keys like "INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN" and "EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN" in
"HTLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAIN"
Now I have
"INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN" = 06
"EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN" = 16
Could someone post your values please?
Maybe you know any third party tools that I can use in order to increase microphone sensitivity....

same values on my K-Jam. Is it hardware problem on your phone?

It was fine before hard reboot...

Same with Jasjar
I had the same problem with my Jasjar, my problem was with the BT Headset and also with the microphone directly on the phone.
I sent my Jasjar to warranty, I will tell you if it gets fixed when it returns from them.

feels better after a couple of hard resets...... it is so strange..

i have *exactly* the same problem with my k-jam, however i didn't hard-reset device yet. my friends are complaining very much. i've also checked the problem by myself - i received a call made by my k-jam and voice was tragedy, very quiet and noisy. connecting headset to wizard makes voice sound better but that's not the point to carry mobile with headset all the time! at first glance i thought it could be hardware problem, but if you're saying that before hard-reset microphone quality was fine, then probably it's software-related issue...

and what about registry keys which you mentioned above? values are the same?

Yes, registry values remains the same after hard reset.
But microphone sensitivity is definitely better now.
Later there was two or three hard resets - seems all is ok with sensitivity. Hope that problems will not appear again.
Please let me know if you'll find a solution.

i've changed INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN value to 16, but voice quality is still the same. i suppose these settings may concern recording notes (dicating machine) only, not while phone connection. anyway, i've also found HLM/Software/HTC/VOICESETTING registry key, which may be actually that. but values are quite different there and i don't want to make something wrong...

i did ROM update with latest ROM from clubimate.com, then i did three hard-resets in a row, checking voice quality after each one. unfortunately... voice quality was all the time the same and it was NOT good quality

microphone sensitivity - solution?
i did some tests with registry tweaks within HKLM/Software/HTC/AUDIOGAINx keys and after few hours of testing i've got confused and completely dizzy wheter microphone sensitivity is better or not. however i found some interesting things. HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME key is responsible for headset microphone sensitivity and SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME is responsible for microphone while phone is in loudspeaker mode. so there are two other keys:
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = 18
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = 19
values above are default, but i've set both values to CC (204 decimal). after so many tries, soft-resets and test connections, i couldn't really differ which setting is actually better and which isn't. so i called to one of my friends who was complaining before that he doesn't hear me very well. and now he told me, that now's much better! voice was still bit noisy but much louder than before. so i guess i found a solution...

Do any of you have volume issues with MS Voice? I have it setup to announce incoming calls- it says the # and contacts name. The problem I have is that the voice is very quiet when the phone is ringing. Its similar to a txt message or email notification you receive while on the telephone talking to someone. I even tried it with no ringtone playing at all- just the msvoice.
Has anyone used the MS Voice on WM5 HTC Wizard?

ATT Rom Sound Limiting

Ok, I found a hint at the solution to the sound limiting thing on the AT&T New Rom.....
Going in to the Registry:
Code:
My Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]ControlPanel/SoundCategories/...
Under: Feedback to RingPreview there is this little line called InitVol I believe it has something to do with this line as if I take it out, I get almost no sound... and in some spots it will simply place itself back in if removed!
I will continue to tinker with this! :twisted:
MrDollyMaker
I just discovered something and would like someone to confirm this one...... When you click on the speaker, if you turn the volume down on the PocketPC side and leave the phone up to full, the increasing ring goes away. If you put the volume back up on the PocketPC side, the increasing ring begins to start again....
Anyone confirm this odd bit? :shock:
MrDollyMaker
you are right
I can!

Glad to know it's not just me.... found a similar thread on AT&T's support forums.... AT&T said to use WAV files and they will play loud... :shock:
Granted. Am I not using a WAV file for my ringer? (double checks) YEP.... must be me, not AT&T! NOT!
MrDollyMaker
Mental note:
Must be a programed line due to the Volume Attinuation is based from the volume setting on the PocketPC side..... Now to figure out where this code is to try and remove or dissable it!
Example (But not exactly writen like this):
Code:
VolumeLimiting=(((Volume/2)*InitVol)*AttinuationCategory)
Granted, maybe it could be considering all are actual settings in the Registry except VolumeLimiting... :shock:

Ring volume
Ok. I too can confirm that this works. BUT.... Can you also confirm that it now only RINGS ONCE and then the rest is silent.

Hmmm, haven't had that problem. I solved the issue with the alarms and reminders being silent by using BatteryPack2004 v5.2. It has a feature called Power Alert that when turned on can up the reminder and alarm volume to MAX even if you have it muted!
Now I can have the PDA volume off and ringer up full and still hear my alarms and reminders. (just can't hear the notices) If I play MP3s or WMA files through media player I have to turn it up of course.....
Still cant' find the fix for this yet. :evil:
MrDollyMaker
I'm using a WAV file though... I'll check weather that has an effect or not..
Hi everyone...
I just upgraded mine to WM2003 from O2 XDA.
I know that WM2003 phone edition allows MIDI files as ringtones, all you have to do is copy the midi files you want to \windows\rings folder and you should be able to pick the ring from option.
however, when I selected the midi file ringtone from the option, IT CANNOT PLAY! :roll:
is this just me or everyone has the same problem?
let me know... thanks heaps...
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? This "feature" REALLY sucks, and makes my Voice Command not nearly as useful as it could be.

Unfortunatly no.... I'm now waiting on the new T-Mobile rom that is due out soon. Talked with some of the techs there. They claim that the delay in release is due to some querks with a new driver for the battery that increases the battery life by almost 2 hours in PDA mode along with a querk with the sound not working right. :lol:
They did say expect it some time in March as long as they at least solve the sound problem.
MrDollyMaker
I actually think AT&T or MS made a simple but fatal mistake in either wavedev.dll or PhonePH.dll or possibly setawsnotifyreg.exe.
I think what they aimed for was to have the ringer start at the PDA level and then slowly rise to the Phone level if they differed. Then someone managed to get it all wrong and made it start at MaxPDA-PDA or possibly Phone-PDA instead of Min(PDA,Phone).
I've tried to find a way to replace wavedev.dll and PhonePH.dll to try my theory, but haven't yet found a way. I'll do a little messing around with the registry settings as well...

Been there, done that.
Be aware that the T-Mobile rom has an even worse bug than the increasing ring. It starts up by itself.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the device is ON. Pressing the power button will make it go to sleep again, but sometimes it goes on again just seconds later. As things get worse while moving, it could have something to do with signal strength or handover.
Walking through the output from ssnap it seems that the AT&T rom is actually newer than the T-Mobile. The date of most of the files in 4.01.16 is back in September, while most of the files in the AT&T rom is from mid December.
After having enough of accidental phone calls and calendar items because the phone turned itself on in my pocket I will try the AT&T rom for a while and see if it's any better. And actually, the volume is not that big a deal if you use something like spb pocket+. Just set the PDA volume to the lowest or next lowest setting, the phone to the next highest or highest, set the repeating alarm function in pocket+ to use full or increasing volume, and voila!
For the record, some of us using the final T-Mo ROM are not experiencing the spontaneous activations bug.

Thanks. I have the ROM however they fill it with so much bloatware I can't squish all of my proggies in there. I was hoping for a hack or something. I did increase the Initvol from 2 to 4 which stops the low volume at first however it does get quite loud. Maybe I'll install and see anyway. Nothing to lose but time I guess. Thanks again.

Low Speaker Volume

Is there a way (registry hack, any other program) to increase the volume of the speaker during the phone conversation? I also own a Hermes and the speaker volume of the Trinity is so low compared to it that I can sometimes barely hear the other party. Any help?

I have the exact same problem. When I am in a public place and when there is some noise around, I hardly hear the person I am speaking to. Even when I turn the wheel on the left to maximum
I have spent a lot of time looking for a solution but I have just seen that for some qtek devices, there is the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN] with values EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME and RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME, that allow to modify the max output level of the speaker. But I didn't find that key in the trinity
Even if I turn the scroll wheel all the way up, the volume is too low.
The audiogain registry key (although it doesn't exist in trinity's registry) is actually to improve the sound quality of the microphone and not the volume of the phone.
When I first make a call, when I hear the first ring, it is actually louder but then from the second ring on, the volume decreases at least by 25%.
Anybody with any ideas?
anyone figured how to increase call volume yet?
I would also appreciate a solution to improve the Speakerphone volume.
I would appreciate any fix to increase the volume of anything!
The included stereo headphones are completely useless! My god, why did they even put a volume dial on the headphones? I can barely hear anything with this crap phone...
A pity considering every other features works just perfectly.
ive got the same problem, before the bass fix, the volume was high but with a really unstable and bad sound... after the fix, there is kind of better sound but in phone calls the volume is low.. i really start hating this device......
I've been using my new p3600 for two weeks now, and this low speaker volume issue is killing me. I've been a Noia user for years, and the difference in sound quality during normal calls is simply unacceptable. The p3600 has so many awesome capabilities for such a small phone, but when it comes to the most basic function, I'm quite disappointed with.
I would also appreciate a fix to improve the quality of the speaker.
Cheers
i can say that this is not the only problem, there are so many others that i stopped thinking of this one... im going for a final hard reset now.. im really tired...im sick of it.....
Someone has an idea ?
Has anyone found away to increase the incall volume yet ???
Someone posted this registry hack elsewhere (use at your own risk of course)
1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER
2. ControlPanel
3. SoundCategories
4. InCall
5. InitVol
6. Change the DWORD value to 6 (Default = 2)
7. Click Done
Wait approx 10-15 seconds before testing.
PS. If the registry key or value doesn't exist, you can always try creating it.

Ah ha...
I just bought Dopod D810(HTC Trinity) for my wife yesterday, and just now she complained to me about this "low on call volume" to me. And since I'm the one recommended her the phone I have to responsible. LoL.
But despite this problem, all of other features are flawless, complete, with excellent case design. Kudos to HTC!!
Btw, this is kind of dejavu for me since it also happened on my Eten M600 back then. This issue can only be solved on driver level, i.e: patch the RILgsm.dll, or include this patched driver in newly cooked ROM.
On which, I don't have the necessary skills to do that... -sigh-
Any expert users can help us???

incall volume (again)

Sorry if this appears to be a repeated post, but i've seen a post with a supposed hack that has satisfied at least one user but others (including me) still are not satisfied with the phone volume. Unfortunately the post is misplaced IMHO in the Hermes upgrading section. Here was my question about the so called reg hacks and phone volume. Someone please help:
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 somewhat. 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?

I'm with you ... this low volume thing sucks ... and I am surprised more folks are complaining about it too. Hopefully someone has a solution.
For a while there i'd thought it was my device only.
The thing is if you browse through the registry there are quite a few "volume" keys and values. I've tried a couple to see if by trial and errror i could get some volume increase but no progress.
Isn't there anyone with contact to HTC who can help? I find it strange that there would be no way to get more audio. Especially since the handsfree volume is so loud, you can get good volume playing back mp3s through the wired earphones but the incall (even through the wired earphones) is so low.
Could it be a hardware issue? (therefore not possible to fix with registry hacks).
It is true, it is sooo quiet! I tried several ROMs and several radios... Seems that only the different radio versions make some difference... Haven't tried any registry hacks yet...
I also think the in-call volume is very low. The hack appears for be for AKU 3.3 ROMs, but I haven't done that upgrade yet and search really hasn't turned up much of anything for the earlier ROMs

Same here. UK T-Mobile MDA Vario II. In call volume too low but just like everyone else the speakerphone too loud! Hopefully someone will identify the registry hack - there must surely be one?
I'm in the same boat and would love to see more attention going into the phone part of this PDA Phone--thanks to anyone who can help identify the registry hack or help solve this.
I, also, am displeased with the low in-call volume of my hermes. I've had the stock (Cingular) ROM, and now the XDA Live 0.20 WM6 ROM and the maximum in call earpiece volume was the same unacceptably low level in both cases.
Surely someone knows of a fix?!
Not sure how relevant this thread is - Cingular only:

Worth noting that this is not a universal problem. Mine for example with in call volume at max using scroll wheel whilst on call is WAY too loud!!
Mike
Thanks for the link. Alas, the other thread appears to be for the newer almost-official Cingular ROM... I think most of us here are looking for an equivalent hack for the older ROM (yah, I know we could just bloody upgrade.. but I'm taking my upgrades one step at a time ).
And yes, as a data point, I am on Cingular.

My call quailty has improved a lot. i could barely hear the callers voice earlier.

Hi, i did experiment with the tweaks, to be honest now i am not sure if they actually help. The audiogain tweak seemed to work on my PDA when i had WM6 running. But for Wm5, i dont need to use it, my prophet sounds fine.

Call sound: great, but volume very high

Hi all,
The call quality of the HD2 is very good. Reception is great, people understand me very well and I can understand them very good.
My only problem is that the sound is so loud, when I'm using my phone at my ear (so without speaker or bluetooth).
Do you have this as well? Is there somewhere a master volume that can be set?
To be clear: the volume is already at the minimum...
Thanks!
Koen
Does the earpiece speaker also pop/crackle somtimes when the tones are high or very loud? I hear a ticking in the earpiece speaker.. that is very anoying!
Will probably swap my device for a new one.
Not really.
But as I find it now too loud, I don't like to use to make normal phonecalls.
Koen
I have the same problem..
One weird thing though, it's only on outgoing calls, incoming the sound isnt too loud!
i had the same problem but only with outgoing calls an mine sounded terrible, still does( think my speaker is broken)
You can edit the registry.
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Controlpanel\Soundcategories\ you have INCALL and INCALL 2, i think one is ingoing and one is outgoing calls.
Edit Initvol, i have both mine on 2 now. and the volume is much better!

I've got the exact same thing!
The quality is great, but sometimes the volume is just way too loud, almost up to the point where it hurts my ear.
One additional thing is when I get a notification on the background that a message has arrived during one of those loud calls, volume actually switches back to normal.
In my registry incall2 was set to 5. Resetted it to 2, hope it works
could anyone clarify
Where can I find that
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Controlpanel\Soundcategories\ you have INCALL and INCALL 2 thing. Please help! How do I enter registry?

Made the first step, done the things in the register, but the volume is still too high. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if I did a soft-reset, but you might just give it a shot.
Both outgoing and incoming call volumes are now fine on my device...
[edit]
Actually got another loud outgoing call..
When I took a better look at the inCall and inCall2 properties, they seem to be for the notifications you get when you're in a call.
So changing them to '2' is OK, but doesn't actually solve this issue.
It may be an explanation to why my sound swapped back to normal after receiving a notification though.

Tried a soft reset too, but my ears still hurt! Any other suggestions?
This is totally unacceptable, has nobody got a cure for this? I can't use my *phone* as a phone, the volume is deafening! Both speakerphone and earpiece are way too loud, even on the lowest volume setting.
try this one
Here's a solution : you need to use the Schapman advanced configuration tool v3.3 (freeware).
Go to "HTC audio manager" -> set "music volume" (or something close, I don't know of it is labelled in english, I only have the french version) to 30 or above (below 100, which is the maximum) and then soft reset your device.

I can't seem to get this to do the trick. Is there anyone out there who has used a program to specifically lower the earpiece and speakerphone volume on their HD2 'Leo'? I'm going to have to return my handset if I can't lower the volume. I love the phone but if I can't make calls on it it's useless!
*bump*
This needs keeping near the top as it's a MASSIVE problem. Doesn't *everyone* find their HD2 far too loud??
It happened to me only once, when I woke up, press power button to get the screen on and dialed a cab, it was way too much loud.
Today I made some calls, received them as well, and it was ok.

Inquiry Description Hello, I have just bought the HD2 and the speakerphone volume is incredibly loud, even on the lowest setting. It is unusable! The speaker is distorting, it is that loud. Is there a registry fix one can do to solve this? Thankyou.
Issue Date & Time
2009/11/26 10:31
Does anyone have a link to the part of the site where these supposed hotfixes will be....and how long will they be coming, any ideas? So far it's the speakerphone & earpiece volume which are of the utmost importance for me, then the pink camera etc etc etc.

Fix for low microphone volume

So, it seems I have finally found out how to adjust the microphone volume on the phone.
I have posted the instructions on my blog. If you try the solution it please respond if it works or not.
This might be veey interesting. I changed 88 to 100 but will only be able to talk to someone tomorrow.
From personal experience both sgs ans sgs2 have low treble input sent to peer. Ots annoying.
Posted from Galaxy S II
tried, we will see...
Interesting, there's an option for speaker receive volume too...
I tried it but it didn't work on audio recording (Hi-Q MP3 Recorder).
There is some way to adjust mic volume of voice recording?, My old SGS recordings were a lot louder than on my new SGSII.
Great thank you so much for the post. It helped me out.

MY SGS2 DOES NOT HAVE THIS VOLUME ISSUE! PEOPLE HEAR ME VERY WELL, SOMETIMES THEY ACTUALLY LOWER THE VOLUME IT IS SO LOUD!!!
Seriously, how much better does it get? I am not in a noise free environment at the moment, how big of a gain does this produce? Does this fix work with the genuine wired headphones?
i thought this fix was temporary only, after a phone reboot the fix resets to default ?

how often do you reboot your phone?

I must admit...in all the smartphone that i have ever used.....This is the only phone that i have never rebooted except when flashing roms/kernels etc...
I never reboot! I did today, because I wanted to calibrate the battery for the first time and I let it die. So I let it die after 24 hours of use, and then when it turned on it rebooted
I love my phone

It works but sadly as others have already mentioned, after a reboot, you have to re enter the settings, which is the only draw back, and am one of those who reboots the phone on a daily. Is there any way of making this permanent even following a reboot?. I can imagine its probably difficult, but thought I'd ask anywhere. Thanks op.
I'm actually looking for a way to lower the input gain, as my voice comes out distorted on the other side. Any clues? Besides the obvious "Turn 88 into something lower, I tried 70 and didn't work"
I don't know how the values can be saved so that they survive a restart. Personally I only restart my phone when it runs out of battery, or if I've done flashing that requries a reboot. If I need to disconnect from the real world airplane mode is used.
So, has anyone had any luck using this method? Seems to work for me.

That's quite the opposite problem Other than what you tried I have no idea. Sounds like a faulty device?

Actually, I tried 20 yesterday, and it did solve my problem!
Now sound is crisp and undistorted!
The question is,
1. How to make it stick reboot.
2. What do the rest of the volumes do? Vol0_1 0_2 0_3 etc, you suggested to edit number 5. Why specifically that one?
1. Still a mystery
2. My guess is that there are certain levels of output, and that all of them should be adjusted according to the other to have a linear line. The fact that I wrote that only 5 should be edited was simply because that worked for me.
First, great thanks hpe !!
I got my phone 2 days ago and got same problem.
ppl could not hear me well.
I tried your solution, hope it will help (tried 1-2 calls and seems ok).
I have noticed also that when you talk you should be
stable with your hand and your face , I mean,
it should be with fix distance between the mouth and phone, not important the distance but it should be stable during the call, if not the AGC comes up and down and the other side can't hear you well...
About save setting,
Maybe there is ini file or something (rooted phone) that can be changed to keep value after reboot, I have noticed in the 2 days I have the phone that I had to reboot phone after install application to get it works well.
I've follow the hpe solution but i still have volume problem
My specific problem is:
On Normal Mic call > very low volume... on my SGS2 with android 2.3.3
But with Speaker call > clear (no problem)
Very strange!! I can't be able to solve this problem.
I'd like to precise that with other voip app like bria or "csip simple" i have no problem, mic volume is perfect..

Speaker call uses different mic settings (since you've a higher distance between your mouth and the mic while using speaker), so it might just the "normal mic call" volume setting which fails.
I have understand and many thanks for your reply but it's strange that those settings works perfectly with the other voip applications..
