Morning XDA people
Have one slight issue that really bugs me with my HD2 the ring volume is so damn loud its hazardous lol now I know your gonna say turn it down but when listening to music I have to turn it back up again and then forget to turn it down again....
Any way I can separate the volumes better was literally thinking of taking the wav file for my ring and decreasing the DB its saved with, but slightly longer work around than wanted not ideal!...
Many Thanks in advance,
Crafty...
I used the following registry tweak to lower the call volume, and it's worked great for me on the old ROM and latest ROM. However, I've posted this a couple of times now and it's received a mixed reception. Some say it doesn't work at all, and some say that a second incoming call is way too quiet. You can give it a shot a guess, and if it doesn't work just change your registry back.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\inCall AND InCall2
Change the value of InitVol to "2" in both inCall and inCall2

Many Thanks for the Reply Snerkler, I don't think I explained my issue that clearly it is actually the ringing volume that really gets me rather than in call volume. I use my headphones and turn the volume up to max and then when removing the head phones if I forget to turn the phone down the ringer is crazy loud.
Hope this is clearer
There are 3 volumes in WM phone. Incall, ring, and system.
Incall volume is highly problematic in HD2, but at least it has nothing to do with the other two. It can only be changed during call.
The other two, ringer and system, are both linked by default. But that can be easily changed by settings/sound & display/single volume - off.
Like that you will be able to control both volumes independently. On my phone that meant that you control ringer only with HW keys. That can be changed to system only, check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610334
but for some people no such tweak is needed.
But again .. there is special incall volume which can be changed only during call. So no volume setting before the call, ringer or system, affects incall volume.

When listen from phone setting, the ringtone i set is loud. but actual incoming phone call comes, the ringtone's volume is soft 1 stage from setting (ie, set phone and system sound volume at 4th-stage, but actual just 3rd-stage)
-System and phone sound volume at 4th stage
-The Equalizer setting is activated and configed. If not, the ringtone is more worst.
-This "problem" found in 20060426 and later ROM. Previous ROM didn't has this problem.
-Tried set max for ringtone, the actual incoming call's ringtone's volume is loud enough, but once become miss-call, distortion sound appear.
Any solution to solve it?
Thx for helping
I have just bought a Cruise and it connects fine to my Parrot CK3000. The problem is however that the sound is much to loud. Changing it with the button on the side does not help. It makes no difference if the slide is completely at the top or at the bottom.
Does anybody know how to change the volume on the carkit??
When you are in a call just use the dial thingy of the carkit and turn it counter clockwise. Should bring the volume down.
You can also set the volume in the settings of the carkit when you're not in a call.
edit: Which one do you have btw? Cause I'm beginning to thing you have the new CK3000 without the display . Although my guess is that turning the dial when in a call does the same: change the volume.
edit2: I've just come up with a brilliant idea!: http://www.parrot.com/usa/support/userguides

CK3000 does have neither display nor wheel.
Only accept/refuse buttons.

Oh my, thát one . Damn parrot calling all their carkits 3000 :/
Online manual here for that one:
http://www.parrot.com/guide_chm/CK3000/
Which says nothing more than:"Setting the volume: Volume is adjusted on your phone".
I'm not sure how the volume might work with the bluetooth connection. Take into consideration that changing the volume when you're not in a call only changes the system volume. When you're having a phone call, only then you are changing the volume of the call.
When clicking the speaker icon when you're not having a phone call shows two sliders, one for the system volume and one with a little phone as icon. That one is not for the call volume but for the ringer volume.
So in short there are three types of volumes. System, ringer and call. Playing with the system volume and the call volume could be worth a shot.
Yes that is the problem. When I adjust the volume during the call nothing changes. The volume slider is shown, but it makes no difference if it is at the max or the min setting. Somehow this does not work. I have software version 3.13.
Any suggestions??
Hi Tim,
just click on the speaker at the top to change the volume DURING a call.
regards Yoshi
Hello Yoshi,
I tried this but I got the same result. I can slide the volume indicator to minimal but the sound volume stays the same.
Any other ideas maybe.
I encounter the same problem that Tim B. I can not modify the sound of CK3000 from the phone.
When I change the volume during a call, no changes. The volume is too loud !

This is a Touch Cruise problem.
It does not allow to change volume on blutooth handsfree profile.
You'll encounter the same problem with bt headset. Only there, you're usually able to adjust volume on the headset itself.
Apperently HTC thought that there aren't any bluetooth handfree device around which do not allow to change volume.
In my car the ck3000 is just loud enough, but I use bigger speakers.

TMOUSA HD2, latest stock ROM.
I searched about this problem on the web with Google, and on this forum, and have not yet found a solution. I hope that someone reading can help me.
This has nothing to do with the system volume, nor the ringer volume, both of which I have set to max.
It only involves in-call volume, hearing the other party talking to you. I have this same problem whether the sound is coming directly from the handset pressed against my ear, or with a bluetooth headset.
Whenever I receive a call on the HD2, at first the sound of the other party's voice is WAY too low. I cannot understand anything they say, do not know who it is, in fact I barely hear anything. (That, despite, both the system and ringer volumes both set to max.)
Then, I press the volume up on the volume rocker several times, or the volume control on my bluetooth headset, and finally I can hear the person talking to me.
That is a hassle--that when someone calls, at first I barely hear anything, don't even know who it is, or what they said, until I press the volume up rocker several times.
It seems like, regardless of system and ringer volume settings, that with an incoming call, the volume is initially set at a VERY low level.
Is there a way that can be fixed--registry tweak, etc.?
I may have come across a fix for this, but am not sure.
I did a search for the word "Volume" in the registry.
One key and value I came across was the following key:
HKLM\Services\HTCAP\SmartHandsetVolumeControl\Handset
I took the value InCallVolume, and changed the dword data to the number which I think represents max volume: 4294967295.
I think that has helped with the problem of the initial call volume on receieved calls being too low. I'm not sure yet though, as I have not received many calls since.
I see many different volume control values in the SmartHandsetVolumeControl key and its subkeys, and cannot say I understand them.
Is there someone reading who really understands what these different registry volume settings mean?
Today I checked voice mail. Therefore a call I placed to voice mail, not an incoming call. I wasn't using a bluetooth headset, but had the phone directly to my ear. I heard the voice mail recording way too softly, could hardly make it out. I pressed the up volume rocker, and it didn't make any difference, I could barely make out the voice mail. (By the way, this was after I made the change mentioned above.)
I think the HD2 has a lot of strange quirks regarding volume, and I think these registry keys may hold the key for dealing with them. If anyone reading really understands the HD2's volume registry keys, please help us to understand them.
Thank you.
PS
I found the following page:
http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...t-phone-volume-levels-on-windows-phone-device
which describes volume registry settings in \HKCU\Control Panel
It is really confusing, all the different volume settings in the HD2 registry, some generic to WM 6.5, and others specific to HTC and the HD2.
If someone really understands how all these volume settings interact, it would be great if a guide to them were posted!
Thanks in advance.
I couldn't get this to work. Does anyone know how to change the call volume via the registry? My phone crashed when I try to do it via the hard buttons on this ROM.
Hi,
need to tweek something...
When I'm on the phone talking, second incoming call or call waiting sound (notification) is very loud.
Is there any registry tweek that can lower level of this sound.
Also, when I finish conversation end call sound is also loud, but that is not a big problem, since I don't have phone on my ear.
Thanks!
Next to the basically high volume issue, I don´t have any issues like this.
What Radio ROM is on your device? Recommendation is clearly 2.15.50.14, but some users tried (and try) others.
I'm on 2.12, but on 2.15 was the same.
Check HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\ path. Maybe InCall or InCall2 level in InitVol key?
I changed noisy alarm ring here HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm\InitVol
I can't test it now so sorry if I'm wrong

test yourself. Values are individual feature. I set alarm value to 15 ie.
callin and callout sound low how to fix that please

This bug has been around since the TP. No idea why it has migrated operating systems..
Anyhow, try this. Set your notification volume to max. Wait a few seconds, and go into your notification tones and play one. Immediately after it has finished, play it again. Notice the first time it played, the volume was substantially quieter. The second time it played, it actually used max volume as per your setting.
This greatly effects notifications with just a few bytes of sound and not an ongoing ringtone. An ongoing ringtone will begin quieter than full, and then pick up to full volume or whatever you have in your settings but the first few sound bytes will always be quiet.
If you have notifications set for text or email, you will never hear your notifications at full volume unless it`s an ongoing ringtone (and who the hell wants that!).
I cant believe this hasn't been addressed yet. I have already tested this with three stock DHDs (but none with any custom roms.)
After my meeting with the regional HTC rep this week I will load a custom ROM onto my DHD and test further.
Feel free to post your findings! Would like to know if this issue is present in custom roms as well.
EDIT: Initial problem (/w TP2) discovered here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/80017-speaker-volume-quiet-then-loud.html
I have just tried what your talking about.
but it doesnt seem to happen on my phone..
My phone was set to silent, then uped it to max,
went to my sound settings - notifications, selected the one i usually use,
sounded normal..
tapped it 4 more times.. no difference.
I think I know what you mean, at the home screen if you use the volume rockers and kee increasing, I can hear the volume getting louder as I press even when the volume on screen bar is at max.
I found that even at max it was still too quiet. I got my tones into SoundForge and increased the volume by like 50% and its nice and loud now

That's definitely something to consider.. good idea, I need to try that!... We're you able to do this with notification tones or just ring tones?
Just to note if you keep pressing the notifications you won't hear a difference, its the very FIRST sound that comes from the speaker will be quiet after a short rest of a few seconds.
Turn off the screen as well.. wait a couple of seconds, turn it back on, play a sound and then play it again and you'll notice that the second time it plays is a lot more audible (playing at max volume).
I just increased the volume on a ringtone(mp3) I want and put it on the sd card, and selected it as my ringtone. I did the same with a tone I wanted as my sms, but saved it in the notifications folder. I've only done it with my ringer and sms tone so far. Temporary fix but if I'm trimming my tones on my pc I can increase the volume as well, hopefully I don't have to keep doing it for long. I haven't tried the roms with volume fixes yet.
Using Revolution 4.0 and seems to be working fine.
Just wanted to post back. After rooting and roming the issue definitely has not ceased. I've learned to cope and will eventually make some tones that have amped volumes with some PC apps.
Still annoying though.. tested on 9 DHDs so far. Not one didnt have the issue. Ugh.
