Hi guys,
I've been having alot of problems regarding my Hermes incall volume - it's whisper quiet. It doesn't seem to be the ROM (i've tried 3 now, the official WM5 and 2 WM6) nor the radio (i've tried 1.40 and 1.43)
I've also had a look on the forums to no avail, any fix seems to not apply to my system.
I know it's cheeky to start a new thread, but if I can't find a resolution I think I'll just sell it on the bay.
Cheers
p.s - I have ensured that it is to the fullest using both the scroller and the speaker during a call. The rest of the volume on the phone is fine, loudspeaker and ringing etc.
Ringing volume comes through your speaker in the back, and so does the speaker phone option. Your head piece might be going bad, that might be the reason why you dont hear it loud.
If the phone is still in warranty, then send it to be replaced!
Hi Guys
When I have the HTC earphones plugged into my diamond, the volume CAN'T be changed.
It's extremely loud and therefore hurts my ears and damages the speakers.
The volume does NOT go softer when I change the system volume or the volume of Windows Media Player.
This happens ONLY when I play music.
The volume of videos and the radio CAN be adjusted - no problem!
I've never had a decent portable music player.
I really want to listen to music.
Somebody please help me!
got almost the same Problem. I found out: it depends on the rom you are using. With Aztor V7 I could adjust it, and thanks to some configuration tool (Advanced Config or s.th. like that) I could reduce the over all sound volume to an acceptable hight.
With bepes Roms the sound volume was too quite.
My solution: I ordered bluetooth headphones now - with tunable volume. Hopefully that will help, but the volume problem on the Diamond really is nasty....
Well I dont have this problem so it is not a diamond issue, maybe the image you're using?
I seem to remember that at some point I had a similar problem with a previous image but it is gone now. I am running the latest panosha
Of course the volume cannot be changed if the device is in stand-by, you need to turn on the screen and then change it.
I have NOT messed about with the ROM.
Still running the original HTC Rom.
The problem is probably somehow linked to Diamond Tweak or Avenced Config Tool.
I've checked and re-check their settings time and again.
I am stumped.
What 2 do... what 2 do...
Hi
I flashed my G1 with the lucidREM Mod of JFv1.5 and since then calls are unbelievable loud. The volume is as low as it can be for calls and I have to hold it about 2cm away from the ear, as the speaker is still so loud anyone in the room can hear what the person is telling me on the phone.
Is there a way to lower the volume besides the + - buttons?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like it may be in speakerphone mode. Start a call, open the menu, and switch it back to normal.
No, the speaker on the back is off. The small one you hold onto your ear is that loud!
I've recently updated to JFv1.5 as well and I'm not having any issues with volume. Admittedly the sound volume is louder for voice and media but when the volume is set to it's lowest levels it's a normal volume for phone calls; definitely not ear-splitting or anything.
Maybe you're hearing has improved dramatically overnight; been bit by a genetically-modified spider lately?
Hmmm... spiderbite, that would explain this huge red and hurting bitewound... i don't know. Unless I find this spider I would say it's the phone, not my ear
I'm running JF 1.5 ADP and in-call volume does not actually adjust here either - even though it shows it adjusting on the screen, the actual volume remains the same.
THAT sounds more like an explanation. Any solution?

I'd like to know myself. A friend with JFv1.5 says his in-call volume control is functioning properly. So what did we do wrong?
I am also experiencing the same problems.
Updated the radio, updated to JF's1.5, had to do an erase and all seems fine, just having this problem of volume in-call.
I can confirm its not in speaker mode and volume doesn't seem to change at all.
Help!
Hey all,
I swear when I first rooted and installed JF1.5 I had followed the directions and completed the step to update my radio to 2.22.19.29I - but I just double checked my baseband and it wasn't right - I reinstalled the radio update from http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip - and now the volume works.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Baseband
Make sure it says 2.22.19.26I
If it doesn't, update your radio again.
Make sure it says 2.22.19.29I
I think you mean 2.22.19.26I
I'm also having this problem on the dude's cupcake - really just in general over all phone firmwares, stock and modded. The call volume is on the loud side - but tolderable - on the lowest setting but UNBELIEVABLY LOUD in headphones on the same setting. My god, my friend said "Hey!" and i instinctually ripped off the headphones and threw them on the floor because of the volume. It really p*ssed me off. This is a phone for f*ck's sake. This is it's primary function. Get it right.
also, the media volume is not loud enough on it's loudest setting.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the volume rocker worked just fine. I my options ranged from unbelievably loud all the way up to "hear it in the next room" loud.
Did you folks who have loud volume wipe (alt+w in recovery) when installing JFv1.5? What applications did you install? What other hacks (a2sd, htc components) have you installed?

yes, wiped in recovery (when installing the dude's build, that is).
Apps:
Marcus' Appstosd 2
SETcpu
GPS Status 2
PDF Viewer (standard with the dude's build)
Advanced Task Manager
WiFi Tether for Root Users
Toggle Settings (cupcake)
and other rinky dink little apps like Astrid and OI shopping and Labrynth and stuff like that
Other Hacks:
The Dude's default theme/template (i didn't dig the default Manup theme...too blue for me - although the transparent notification background was really cool)
HTC Components:
latest radio update 2.22.19.26I

Have you tried wiping and installing a completely bone stock JFv1.5 (no a2sd or anything else) and then checking call volume?
Flashed the radio update, since it wasn't on the phone.
Still doesn't work.
PS: Using the lucid modded version. But even with everything on the phone it wont change the call volume.
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM?? .. I had an issue before and just re-flashed the ROM and worked great!

a while ago, but to sum up:
installed radio 2.22.19.26I from htc webpage.
wiped
installed jf 1.5
very loud, even if volume control shows minimum.
Hi does anyone know how to do this please?
Its a little too quiet for my liking......
I use the tweak included in HD Tweak that removes the 100db limit. It's just a reg key mod..I would like to know which one is it so that I can remove HD Tweak, as I am using it only for this..
I am running dutty's 6.5 rom will this be different then?
Don't know if it works in WM6.5, but there are chances..Why don't you try it yourself and let us know.I suggest do make a backup before any changes
Try the Audio Boost cabs in this link. I put it on my TP and now my PURE. i recommend the Lighter boost. The Full might ruin the speakers.

Guys, what about increasing speaker volume when talking?
Not the loundspeaker (which plays ringtone).
Topaz is really quiet, in crowd on the street it's way too hard to hear the interlocutor.

I use Tom's Topaz Setting Tool, try to enable Volume Call (Increase Volume during Call) option in Phone Settings
And the HDTweak way does not ruin your speaker?? Because i'm listening to hardstyle
..you'll always be able to dim volume manually if any distorsion occurs
Hi,
I have had this great phone for a week and used the plentiful advice on xda to get it working exactly as I want... almost.
I can't seem to find any information or settings on how to enable the volume buttons when my phone is locked. This would be very useful as I tend to lock the phone when it's in my pocket and it's a pain when walking to have to get it out, unlock it and enter my passcode just to make it louder or quieter by a few notches.
Also, is it possible to make the hardware buttons increase or decrease in smaller increments - it's jumping up or down by three at a time (single increments would be preferred)?
Thanks
+1 on Tmo US version
Is there really no way to do this? Seems like the kind of thing one should be able to change in the registry...
Changing volume in the pocket is a habit I've been using with music players since I had my first walkman in 1982!
i use miri roms for months now and i've noticed some time ago that volume buttons work even when my phone is locked and although the increment value for system and ring volume vary from rom to rom, i've noticed that when listening to music the increment is +/- 1.
i just verified so that i'm sure what i'm talking about and here's more specific data:
i'm with latest miri rom 6.5.X V.15.2 and radio 2.09.50.29
volume buttons work when phone is locked
volume increment is 3 for system and ringtone volume
volume increment is 1 for music player
i use the build in HTC music tab player so i don't know about other players though...
if you need info on some other player just tell me which one and i'll test it for you.

Volume buttons should work without unlocking the phone with all ROMs when listening to music. Unless the chef specifically took the functionality out.
Thanks for the replies guys, I've not logged on for a while! I'm using an old version of CorePlayer rather than the built in one (much better EQ settings - can actually get the phone to sound okay). I'd assume that the player being used should have no bearing on the phone volume (apart from maybe the increments). Maybe I'll give the miri ROM a go. Just using my standard Vodafone ROM with a few tweaks (including Cookies Home Tab).
