I was wondering if there was a way to increase the volume of the vibration on this phone. It seems to be different for SMS and actual phone calls, but I couldn't find the registry entry where this is set. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
what are you saying you want the vibration to be stronger or you want the buzzing sound from the vibrator to be louder?

Hi mccannmarc,
Thanks for responding. if there is a way to increase both or either I would greatly appreciate it. I work in a loud environment and its a little hard to hear or feel the vibration and the buzz. If I could increase it via, say, a registry setting that would be great. I just don't know where to start looking.
I hate the buzzing .. it didn't do that first .. now it does.
the buzzzing is because the case isn't screwd on firmly enough I think.
There isnt really a way of doing it that wouldnt involve a hardware mod to my knowledge, you could use a bigger FET to increase the strength of the vibrator if you were willing to mod the hardware. With regards to making the sound louder you could always take advantage of the flaw dekoning raised, just loosen up the screws on your phone a bit!!
Sorry I cant be of any more help, I've trawled through the registry and cant find a single value related to the strength of the vibrator motor.

hello all
when i have the phone in my pocket i can never feel it vibrate. is there ANY way to make it a bit more powerful? me and my friend both have the same problem.
it means that at work im having to leave it on ring and its inappropriate.
thanks in advance
I believe the vibration occurs in the battery itself and not the phone.
You could try experimenting with something metal (like a thin washer) between the battery and the cover ?
No, the battery doesn't vibrate. The vibrator is built in the phone and it has its strength which cannot be changed, in my opinion. It's a simple electromechanical vibrating device, and the vibrating strenght is limited to the mechnical built.
But i wonder, because I would consider the vibrating as the best I ever had.

i know what u mean, all my old phones had a really strong vibrate but the x1 seems a bit weak, if im moving with it in my pocket i wont feel it
The vibrate is nothing more that a motor with a weight on the end. I think the only way to up it would be to increase the voltage to the motor, which isn't going to be an easy task.

Then it would vibrate faster, but not stronger. It could only vibrate stronger, if the mass or the distance to the pivot would be increased which is a mechanical problem.
What about slowing it down...this could be more noticeable than a vibration at a higher frequencie.

But this isn't how a motor works. It needs an amount of currency to get over the starting torque and therefore the rotary speed is fixed. If you cut the currency, the motor will not start.
As long as you can't change the motor you can't change how it vibrates.
Weak Vibrate
I have my phone on vibrate at work all the time.
I have the same problem and I've missed appointments, meetings, texts and emails because of this!
I decided to get myself a bluetooth watch to overcome this problem (topic below).

Hmmm.. well i'm guessing it's a bit far-fetched.. but is there anything here does helps with the speakers of the X1.. at times, i cant even hear the ring..
I'm new in WinMo and after reading at these threads, i'm juz trying my luck to see whether there's anything that can be done..
Thanks a lot guyz...
Generally, I have no problems with the speaker at all. Only when it's covered, the sound diminishes really fast. Is your speaker by any chance covered? For instance when in your pocket. All you can do is increase your volume with the side buttons, and set it to vibrate + ring.
It's not really covered but it is on my pocket.. and the thing is i work in quite a noisy environment.. so it is a bit hard to hear it sometimes..
yea the sound goes really low when it is covered and only one speaker is there so the sound is very low try using the ring + vibrate mode it may help u little bit and also u can set the option of illumination while ringing.
if i put it in my pocket, i dunno if it is coverd but i can't hear the ring
also, the vibration is so "consistant" that i couldn't feel it.......

Install VAlert then
VAlert? May i know wat that does? so there's really no other CAB or somethin to increase the volume??

Had the same issue with a previous phone
I solved it by wearing a Sony Ericsson BT watch
My watch vibrates (and the tickle is sooo obvious, can´t be mistaken) and tells me who's calling
Maybe a BT watch can help if you work in a noisy environment
Hi folks,
Hope you can help.
I've switched off haptic feedback on the keyboard and find it a lot more usable without it. I've activated the "clicky" sound on the keys as this suits me best, however, the volume of the click driving the wife and my co-workers mental. I even got some dirty looks this morning on the train from others as I furiously (not really) typed out some emails.
Problem is, the keyboard sound volume seems to be tied in directly with the system sounds volume!
I need the system sounds high for text message alerts etc, but then, the keyboard is super loud; bring it down to an acceptable level and I can't hear texts coming in etc. To be honest even on low setting its excessively loud..
Is there any way around this? A reg tweak, substituting the wav file with a lower volume one? I don't even know where to start to be honest and appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry guys, just saw this thread. Didn't come up earlier for some reason:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588179&highlight=Keyboard+Volume
I tried the CAB there and it didn't lower the volume noticably. Is there a way to lower if further?
I've made a quieter version (attached). It's probably too quiet now
It's probably best if you uninstall the last version first, a soft reset is required after installation
Thanks soooo much!!
Installed and its better already!
Thanks again.

Hey mate, sorry to see noone picked up your question...
So, increased ringing is working fine for me, and I'm almost certain it works for you too.
However, the guys at Microsoft had a rather... "interesting" way of creating this feature: why you don't probably hear an increased ringing sound is because increased, microsoft way, means that the "song" will first ring at your current volume, that a little bit louder, that louder again...
So keep in mind, the entire sound (so if it's 10 seconds long, you will hear the entire 10 seconds, the sound at one level). When the sound is played from the beginning, only then will you hear a louder sound and so on...
Hope everything got clearer!

Thank you amang for your important info. I use mp3 song and this is long song. But increasing from current volume level is strange .
Do you thing, that is possible to change, that increase ringing will start at level 1? Or maybe (but this is maybe impossible) increase after 2 second of ringing and not after whole mp3?
thx

Knobody knows if is here any way to do this?
Maybe with mortscript, which will control if is ringing ON and if yes, then will increase level of sound to higher. Eg. after 1 sec..
Is it not possible? I tried to search which registry key control phone ringing status (if now phone ring - incoming call) or NOT.
Really is it not possible to do this?
thx for any help
Would anybody please try to make a cab that would somehow lower the incall volume?
I know there are many of us that "hate" our Leo for damaging our ears! Please help us fix that!
Don't point us to HTC support! Have been trying that for about 7 weeks now, with no real result but pathetic fixes.

First off I will be moving this thread to general when I have finished responding.
Secondly, can you explain your problem a little better please. If you really mean turn the in-call volume down, ie NOT when the phone is in speakerphone mode, you can do this now by simply holding the down volume key while in the call to make it happen.
If this is not what you mean then have another go at explaining yourself.
Cheers
WB
unless i've read this wrong i think you win the worst question of the year award...lol
as above, just turn down the volume.
sorry to but in here and sorry if its a noob question but i've had the same problem...
when i answer a call the volume is so loud everyone around me can hear the call!
now i've tried clicking the side key to lower the volume but it goes to the black screen with the bar and silent and vibrate on there and its only on 6%
I'd want to say (another noob comment) that i have sometimes found the sound is irregular, sometimes its low but normally very loud... isnt there meant to be a function where you place the phone next to you're ear and it lowers the volume so its not damaging you're ears?
I think that question is valid. You can only turn it down so much. All sounds on HD2 are too loud; be it call, music, speakerphone, ringing. You can hear speaker breaking at 50%, and your ears bleeding at more. Distortion is present even at low values.
So, I'm with OP, but I want to expand request: how to lower ALL volume on HD2? In other words, instead 10-100%, I want 1-10%.
maybe i just havent noticed due to being pretty much death
the question should be: how to reduce the default incall vol, is that right?
The earpiece and handsfree produce a lot of noise, I agree. there are a few threads already about volume too high and poor sound quality i.e. distorted audio. with earpiece calls try raising the volume first to just above minimum, then keep lowering the volume even when level indicator has reached minimum to reduce call volume further.
Don't be quick to judfe please!

Maybe I haven't explain myself well enough. Why do you and all the smart asses that gave all that cheap advice think that just because we're not mods or developers we're dumb.
It is a well known problem with the HD2. Even with the volume all the way down (while talking on the phone) it's still very loud!!!! Very Very Loud! And I don't mean that trough speaker phone but through the earpiece!
Does this justify my frustration and my legitimate question?
If you can't say nothing good say nothing at all!
thank you!
I know of those threads!

We do expect more of the senior members here but then again maybe we're wrong in doing so!
why do you assume I don't know how to use the volume buttons?
It's a well known fact that hd2 is very loud while incall and even with the volume all the way down is still too loud!!!
G
its loud indeed,
I and I would be personally intrested in lowering the top volume, so highest settings are more reasonable, and stepping down from that actually make it lower sensibly
I had this issue with the call volume being too loud even when turned down, and sometimes it would distort/crackle with certain words/letters. I used the following registry tweak and it's worked absolutely perfectly for me. I've used it on the old ROM and the latest.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\inCall AND InCall2
Change the value of InitVol to "2" in both inCall and inCall2
See if that helps

I've done that too but that volume is for incall notifications only. You can verify that by having someone call you while you're engaged in a call. You will barely hear them if you turn the volume to "2".
thank for trying though!

I think the members want you to be more specific. Identify what ROM & radio you are using and what you have done so far to resolve the problem.
tried 'em all
