Here something to share. It might be useful for some people. It's the New Alert like in Windows XP that comes usefull when you're online on your diamond. Just copy the file in /windows.

Thanks sounds great

I use this also, not the best quality though, I modified it and didnt sound exact but you get the idea.

Enhanced alert + 10db
Here's the enhanced version of the alert. With 10db more power!

Nice enhancement! Sounds a little better now

Woow 42 views and not even a THANQ

WOOHOOOOO.. thanx boss.

Thanks for the sounds I've tweaked the MSN sound as it was quite a big file (563KB). New size is 54KB , haven't tested the sound quality but I'm sure it will be just as good as I only trimmed the file and put it in mono.

[Q] Is There A Program To Make The Speaker Louder On The Diamond/Pro

When the phone is in my pocket i can barely hear it ring and the ringer is to the max not that the phone is very loud to begin with so is there a program to make the speaker louder?

hey man try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428170
you have to download one of the "audiopara3" attached and put it in the windows folder using total commander or resco explorer

Audiotuning as cab
I've downloaded the three oportunities from the thread linked here.
For easier using i made cabs out of the used files.
For me it works fine. My Diamond never had a such perfect sound.

thx dude, its work for me too. sounds louder

Will it damage the speaker itself?

yeah,,my question this will damage speaker???
But this app its cool,,
thankz anyway,,,

Yeh, if it sounds distorted, it's probably not good for the speakers. I can only put my volume no more then half way as full blast would blow up my device.

Queries of a Newbie!

Am new to Windows Mobile and would really appreciate if someone could answer atleast some of my doubts.
1) The speakers ... is that the loudest we can go? I have a P1i that I tweaked thanks to Swmail and its like real loud!
2) Most decent Nokia have a feature that when a call is received "speaks out" the caller name from the address book. Do we have a similar option in Xperia/ Windows Mobile?
3) When I receive a call, the callers name is almost invisible ... I mean its so small that a person like me having below average vision has trouble figuring out the caller's name! Is there no in built tweak to rectify this problem?
4) I have downloaded and installed the MyLostBlog HTC Calculator.cab ... why are all the backgrounds black for most softwares around here??? Is it not possible to adjust colours to go with the theme? I mean, can I just not install any software and the theme gives the software the looks?
Having got the Xperia, I'm now in a stage where I have to learn the OS fresh ... feels uncomfortable with all the small fonts and buttons. I'm now wondering if this was a mistake and if I should give up so soon or work my way into comfort zone!
Your advises and help will help me hang on!
Cheers!

1 - I'm sorry, but this was a mistake by SE. The speaker is awful, but there is nothing you can do about it. I wish we had stereo speakers on par with the N95 too. When I use it for video or audio, I always put my headphones. I don't see a problem about it. The only irritating thing is that you won't be able to hear the ringtome, but that is what vibration is for right?
2 - There are many programs that do this. I haven't tested them, because I find the feature annoying. Do it on your own risk:
Voice Call
Phone Tray Free
Ascendis Caller ID
Audio Caller ID
and many more. Just use google .
3 - You need a program like SPB Phone Suit or PhoneEx 1.3 (the one I'm using). PhoneEx is great. Big names and numbers. It is very finger friendly.
4 - Because black = cool. After all everyone wants to be Mr. Black (10 points to whoever caught the reference ). Anyways, HTC devices are black and the Xperia most people have is black, so people make programs with black fonts.
And no, the theme cannot change the colours of the programs that you install.
You say that you are a new WinMo user. Well, that means that you have to read and learn a lot of things. No way around that. WinMo is not intuitive. It is not like most of the smartphones or featurephones with their flashy, but often useless oparating systems. It is annoying at the beggining, but when you learn how it works and get the little quirks here and there, it will become the best operating system for ppc's.
Plus, there are literally countless number of applications for WinMo and a lot of them are free.
Xperia has great touchscreen that allows you to click even the little icons with ease. If it is not responsive, you should change the settings for the screen sensitivity. Start>Settings>Screen or use this method, but be careful what you do and read the instructions carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485037&highlight=screen+sensitivity
It really depends on what kind of phone you want. Xperia is perfect for me and as I have said before, I cannot imagine my life without it. If you want to have a pocket pc with you and if you are preapred to spend many hours reainstalling, hard-reseting and tweaking, then you have made the right choice.
A piece of advice I give to every newcomer:
Read the topics in this forum. Just open random topics and learn about your device. Use the search functions. 99% of all your question have been answered in other threads.
I had some experience with WinMo when I bought the X1, but I wasn't very good. Now, I have full control over every aspect of my device. It has integrated itself in my way of life. All thanks to this forum...
I don't want to promote myself in any way, but check this thread out. I have put some random thoughts concerning the X1 there :

Cheers

For bigger incoming call notification you can also use a few other options:
-S2U2 has slide to answer support
-the touch HD caller also offers full screen caller ID
-resco (don`t know for sure)

Sorry but this is absolutely wrong... I used the OPTXperiabeta02.cab and experienced great loudness from that single speaker and hear the ring all the time, in fact the cab worked so well that I had to turn the sound down for calls as well... too loud...

No problem. We are here to help each other aren't we?
You can make it louder, but the SOUND QUALITY will not change. There is no bass and the high frequencies sound awful. The speaker is tiny and of bad quality. You had to turn it down, because the sound was unpleasant. Am I right?

I installed optxperia, too, and am very happy that I can hear my phone ringing better. The sound is somewhat distorted due to the limited speaker quality, so I turned it down. I am enjoying having good volume for games, alarms, and calls, though!
I don't need great speakers on a phone, because they are never going to equal the sound quality of good headphones, anyway. I always listen to music with really good headphones for a better listening experience, as I'm picky about sound quality.

i also help big problem looking at the caller id for incoming calls. stressing my eyes to do it. which application is better? where can i download PhoneEx 1.3?
thanks

Thanks orelsi for your detailed explanations ... it is really appreciated
A couple of googles later and I've got the Phonex 1.3.5 with which I am very happy now! Loyjwe ... if you are googling it, be sure to get the one for WM6.
@orelsi you mentioned a couple of programs such as Voice Call, Phone Tray Free, Ascendis Caller ID, Audio Caller ID. Do these work with windows mobile? I searched, but I go the general feeling that they were all for the regular windows.
As regards "black" ... yeah I guess I got myself the 10 points ... anyways, I'm a person that loves the colour blue and feel uncomfortable with black ... get a kind of "black is unlucky" feel! I'm certain I saw a link somewhere where I can set backgrounds everywhere to a picture I like ... guess I'll search for it!
@Shadowdh ... thank you for the OPTXperiabeta02.cab suggestion. Just got hold of it and will see if I'm happy with it
Generally .. a nice start! I guess I'll have more queries as I go along .., guess I really have to get used to WinMo
Thanks

I have tested many apps and I find that PhoneEx is the best for me personally. Remember that it messes with your 3G video calling though. I hope they fix that in future versions.

No problemo. Feel free to ask , that's what I did hehe...
You can change the backgrounds in the menus of WinMo (the general theme), but I don't think you can change the colours of diff programs. That is what you wanted right?
I'm sorry abut the apps. I said that I never tested any of them. I just googled them . I asked around a little bit and here is what I got .
Try these:
Mobile Speak - (this one is for blind people, but maybe it can be set to say only callers' names and nothing else)
MS Voice Commander has such an option.
HollerID
Cheers

Seriously, if u hate the tiny fonts and un-user friendly UI on the X1, read up and flash a custom ROM.
Like "dumbphones", the ROM/firmware in WinMo phones can be upgraded. The biggest advantage / benefit of WinMo over any of the other "smartphone" OS's around is that there are loads of ppl who are willing to setup and build customised firmwares so u get the benefits and features of other (HTC!) phones....
Read up on "HardSPL" in the Custom ROMs section and give it a go - if u do it right there's no way u'll brick your phone and it'll come out the otherside like a brand new (completely different + better!) phone...

Hi mate... sorry for the seemingly terse post above, was studying for exams and so was trying to be quick...
Yes we are indeed mate... I did not have to turn it down due to rubbish quality rather it was very very loud... like another poster mentioned I tend to use earphones for listening to podcasts (rather than music) and when I play video its usually pretty decent if through the speakers... sure its not dolby etc but hey its such a little bitty speaker...

[Q] Better Sound on W.M.+ REQ. for .dll

How can I improve the audio of my device?
1---The volume is very poor and the quality is very bad.
2---Is there a patch or a sound driver?
3---Is there a software or an equalizer that can help me?
4---Android have "5.1" option for the surround, why it doesn't exist on W.M.?
5---Can anyone upload "Wavedev.dll" or "Waveapi.dll" files? (They are in the "Windows" folder)
6---Where can I download loud ringtones?
Thanks

I tryed the equalizer of CorePlayer but it's not good...

You should ask Microsoft this question.

Thanks, I found also others app like WOWHD but I don't remeber the name...
and if someone want to develop something for the sound and for the "5.1"...
Another question:
7---My device has 2 speakers for the audio: a Front one for the Telephone and a Back one for the System.
Is there a way to reproduce the audio of my video and my songs from the Front Speaker (that usually is used for calls) and not from the Back speaker?

Why on earth do you need 5.1 surround playback on your mobile device?
Does your device have a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor - the only one I know of that brings the 5.1 surround sound theatre experience to mobile devices? Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GZBs7XoJvMI
Anyways, Windows Mobile is a dead OS and I'm afraid NOONE of the developers here will be willing to make efforts in writing a new "wavedev" driver for Windows Mobile ...

Did a quick Google-search and immediately found a solution for HTC:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-software/60239-audio-router-switching-speakers.html
Probably for other devices also a solution exist. GIYF ...

I know W.M. is an old O.S. but for me it will be forever the best
I can found anything I want (the article on PPCgeeks that is just what I was looking for)
You didn't understand me, Surround playback can used with headphones (also worst Android phone do it)
If anyone can answer my other questions in the 1st post ...

I use Kevintm_V4_puff601Regs_AudioPara3_LOUDEST.cab to boost the volume. Not the best for the phone and distorts sound sometimes... but I can hear it and I don't mind distortion.

Thanks eyeb, I will try it
