Hack to increase earpiece volume on JAM?

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!

did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.

i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.

Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?

i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?

Low Phone headset volume

I would like to know if there is a way to hack the registry to increase / boost the phone headset volume. Please note I am not talking about the "speakerphone" volume, I just find that when talking to someone on the phone headset it seems alot softer than the Wizard that I had before, even when the volume is set to max.

i would also like to know how to do this. i feel like my wizards ear piece volume was deafening.. but on the tytn its so incredibly low

I don't have a problem with the headset, but even on the highest volume setting the phone's earpiece speaker is a bit too quiet.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks.

Same hear, just to darn low at the highest volume setting. I see there are fixes for other HTC phones but nothing specific for this phone. Has anyone on this board managed to hack the registry and find an effective fix to increase the earpiece volume?

i'd love this as well - just bought one of these :

and the volume level is VERY disappointing. my wizard used to have an acceptable volume level but i can't imagine being able to hear music on my tytn with traffic around. :-(

better volume control on the call

hi guys,
just got my new x1. I am familiar with WM and HTC as I have spent almost whole summer playing with Kaiser so x1 is nothing new to me. however, the first thing which i have noticed is that the volume during call in x1 is just too loud although it's set to minimum. Kaiser wasn't that loud. so, the thing is that I am bit of suffering when i need to talk to someone as the volume is too loud and I can hear "beeeeep" in my ear. crap, isn't it?
do you guys by any chance know if there is any way to change the speaker volume while on the call so that it's not as loud as it is now? is there any plugin allowing user to better control the volume of the interlocutor?
any thoughts will be highly appreciated!
Thanks

no ideas? does that mean I am the only one suffering from this issue? :/

during calling just presse up-down hardware button on upside of the x1
in normal operation they set system/ring volume, during phone operation they set the speaker call volume

I have the same problem. I have set the volume to the lowest possible setting yet it is still loud. I would expect the lowest possible setting to be mute.
Is there anyway of getting it so that the volume bar works in a more sensible way?

*bump*
Anything on this? I can't keep my phone on my ear when i'm talking with someone. Have to keep a few cm's distance or my head splits. Call volume is at minimum..

hey there. first post on the forum but i've been reading for a few weeks already and finally bought an Xperia.
Anyway, I have the same problem as you guys: even on the lowest setting, volume is still too loud during a call. I've looked accross the net and didn't find any relevant info on how to solve this does anyone have any idea on how that would be solvable ? registry trick or something ?
thanks in advance

hmmm, my situation is totally different. My X1i volume during call is set to maximum and it's too quiet for me. When I'm outside, on the street I can't hear person hanging on the other side. At home, when it's quiet it's all ok.
My ears are quite good , I've tested them 2 months ago.

If you guys have already tried what webguitar mentions above, then i think you may have a problem with your specific handset
There are a couple of threads in the forum about ways to increase volume ...but I've certainly not seen anything suggesting its too loud
Have been using mine since November and never found the volume to be too high

Same here...but using SRS Wow HD i managed to get louder sound.

well, of course i've used the side rocker -_-
it's just that i feel that instead of adjusting between
quiet - - - - - - - - - - loud
it seems more like it adjusts between
normal - - - - - - - - - loud
again, i'm talking about the volume during a call, not for the speaker or the system sound.
it isn't that loud if you are in a noisy environement, but when i'm sitting in the silence of
my room... it just feels loud. i never had such a problem with any previous phones o_o
and various changes in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\ doesn't seem to change anything
so i was thinking, maybe there is a "minimum volume value" setting somewhere...

Nocturnal310, D-fens, please do not throw the topic off course
Definitely there IS a issue with the volume being FAR too loud on the lowest setting (this is 20% for me)
I'm embarrassed to talk on the phone in the office, as everyone within five meters hear both sides of my conversation and asks if I'm deaf. I'm not! It's the bloody phone!
Is there a way to set the speaker volume to less than 20% (5% for example)?

Weak Volume reg FIX Help

Beside the SRS WOWHD cab, does anybody know about a registry trick to increase Volume..
Thank you all in advanced.

same problem

volume?
I have opposite problem, when I have my volume up very much, everyone in room can hear conversation. It must be something really strange? I hear more people complain too loud?

To Loud!
Hey,
My HD2 has been to loud since I purchased it. I have done misc tweaks to it, flashed to latest, and the volume always bothers me. What I mean is, even on the lowest possible volume level when I am on the phone I have to remove it from my ear because it is way too loud. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have yet to do any regedit on it so if there is a way to change volume setting in the registry how do I do that the best way.. is there a nice regedit for the HD2 perhaps? I am sure I can find one in this Forum but hey any tip would save me time
Thanks for a great site/forum!!

Loud In-call Volume

Why is it that when I flash an Android Rom on my HTC HD2 the in call Volume is way too loud.
I turn down to it's minimum volume but it's just ear bleeding loud.
Can this be fixed?

I had this issue too, there's no fix that I know of, just a first aid thing - when your volume is louf on minimum, put it to maximum (at that time) and then get it back on minimum, it should help. Sometimes it doesn't though.
But for me, after a while the problem disappeared. Maybe a ROM update?

be fortunate yours is loud because mine is way too low in most cases i have to use my speaker phone to talk to ppl

I have tried turning up volume & down again & that didn't fix the problem & so i changed Roms's & it does it on all of them.
Surely there must be a fix for this problem?
