Microsoft Voice Command 1.50

When I receive a call, voice command announces it as it should, lowering the ringtone volume to announce over the top of it, problem is, it's reducing the volume too much, and I can't hear it speaking...
Does anyone know a way of:
a. Preventing voice command from lowering the volume at all?
b. Increasing the gain on voice command's announcements?
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

hah, when i used MS voice command my problem was that it didn't lower the ringtone enough.
I have no clue how to do what ur asking for, after a while i just turned my ringtone off and just had the announce of the name and number.

I got this CAB file from another post.
It did the trick for me.

Hi,
Start Menu->Settings->Voice Command
Choose Phone, then click Options, Remove checkbox to 'announce incoming calls'. Now your ringtone will rin normally.

The problem is that I want the nice lady to announce the name of my caller, and I want the phone to play the ringtone I have set

What does this cab file do? is it modification to Voice command, or is a simple registry hack?

Hello
Use any registry editor like resco and do the following
Goto current user
Then control panel
Then sound categories
Then voicecommand1
And change the atenuationcategory from 3 to 1
That will do the thing. The lady will be louder.

Theses suggestions seem to make little or no difference, the only change seems to be that the music isn't turned down as much.
I've tried manually making the changes, and running/instaling the cab file "MPIIIMan" presented me with.
Is there any way I can physically change the program to increase the gain? I don't mind if I have to dissassemble code or anything to make changes, but i'd like to get it sorted...
I'd use cyberon, but I can't find ANY working links for it on either Limewire, IRC, or any websites, either the full program or a demo... Has it dissappeared from existance???

This worked for me. Made the lady louder - ringtone volume remained the same. Thanks.
BTW, I noticed there's another setting in that registry key called "initvol" and it's said to 5. My best guess would be initial volume? Anyone try playing with that to see what that does?

Can you explain exactly what htis cab does, or maybe link us to its original post?

I got this cab file from another post.
You would have just as much luck finding it as I would.
I believe it's just a registry edit
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:00000001
"InitVol"=dword:00000005
"Script"="p"
@=""

Disable startup sound in new roms?

To save me searching through the device does anyone know which sound to replace with silence to get rid of the new startup sound in new roms?
or even a reg tweak to disable it?
thanks in advance!

someone has got a cab here for it - best search as you'll only be told to do it anyway...

Cheers John.
I prefer not to use cabs though as i like to know exactly what i am doing when tweaking and would prefer not to decompile the cab to see exactly wtf is going on!
I take it that cab replaces the wav file all together?
If you didnt want to do this you can simply go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav
and edit the name of the wav file in that key ( i added a character to its file name so it would be easy to change back if needed.)

was just looking for your post! does it work properly? the stuttering tone at the mo is a tad annoying!!

Yeah, tell me about it! What's the point of putting a startup sound if it stutters? It makes the whole device look cheap right from its first powerup.
All my cab does is replace the wav file with a tiny silent one, therefore saving precious ROM space. It works fine for me, and I've not had any complaints so far.

Where is startup tone located?
Hi
Could someone tell me which folder the startup tone is located? I wanted to replace it with my own wav.
Thanks

The edit of the name is how I did it and it works fine.

REALLY loud ring-tone

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me. I have had a little search around, and still can't find a solution to my problem.
I recently flashed to Oz rom 1.5 , and I'm on radio 2.07.50.27_2.
So basically no matter what setting I put the volume to, my ringtone and notifications are always the loudest they can be (obviously not if its on silent or vibrate) I have tried changing ringtone back to the default one, and its exactly the same. Is there a reg edit I can do? Does anyone else suffer from this?
Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers

You can have it set to have different volumes for system sounds and ringtones.
When you click one of the volume buttons, do you have "System" and "Ring" tabs at the top of the page? If you do, make sure you're on the ring one to set ringtone volume. This can also be done from the "Sound & Display" options on the settings tab.
Hope this helps mate

Thanks johncmolyneux, I've already tried that and it makes no difference. I have it set so there is only one volume control (so system and ringtone volume is combined) ... any other ideas?

Sorry mate, I know that was a bit of an obvious thing to check, but you never know on here
I guess my only advice would be to go back to the ROM thread and ask there. Maybe it's a problem with that.

no prob mate... I have asked there as well and the chef wasn't sure either...
are there any registry things I can check? I was thinking maybe my phone thinks 'level 1' on the volume is actually 'level 5' or something?
its so annoying-scares the life out of me every time someone calls!

Having never had a problem with this myself, I've got no idea where this particular data is stored. It does sound like something that would live in the registry though, so I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help you out. There's some walking encyclopaedias of Windows registry on here! lol
Good luck getting it sorted mate.

any one out there now where in the registry I should look?
cheers in advance!

No prob, I replace the stock one on every ROM I flash because stock volume sucks.

does this only increase the earpiece volume or does it also increase the speaker phone volume

Hi Bruce, just a quick tip - why not replace the stock one on the ROM BEFORE flashing it? See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514. It's a great program!

[TESTED 100% WORKING]Increase ALL of your X2's volume by 200%!!

This solution increases:
MICROPHONE VOLUME
IN-CALL VOLUME
SPEAKER VOLUME
RINGTONE VOLUME
MUSIC PLAYER VOLUME
and has been tested and working 100%
I've decided to share a ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL solution for all the X2 users and the general population of windows mobile users.
Here's the solution:
First, you need totalcommander. Google it.
1) Open TotalCommander
2) Go to ftp\\registry\HKCU
3) Change ALL the following to the value specified:
HKCU/Control Panel\Phone\vol\65535 (General volume of the X2 including microphone input!)
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/InCall/Initvol\5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/System/5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Attentuation\All to 5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/InCall/InitVol\5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/InitVol\5
4) Soft-reset
5) Press the volume up key and set it to the 5th indicator (Max)
6) Press volume up key 1 more time, and you will hear an additional beep 200% louder and the indicator marker remains the same at the 5th marker on the top. This means you have sucessfully tweaked your volume!
6) Do step 5 again with in-call and congrats!
Enjoy your beloved X2 =)

I am satisfied with the default volume levels and will leave it as is.
Do note people, increasing output levels beyond the specified levels can damage your speakers!

sounds good. is it possible for someone to make a registry file of this? so we can just run it and it does it all for us noobs lol. (like the sd card fix)
although im not sure i need to increase the microphone input level, is it possible to leave that out.

Couldn't get totalcomander to work!!!! Which file did you download? It says if you have a touchscreen to download the pocket pc version...Did you download the installer or just the cab files? Thanks.

Hi, would you mind clarifying this value/number. In the first value my default is 65535... are you saying that this value should just be '5'. Not 55555?
thanks

If your capable of making a cab file for this, trust me a lot of people will be happy and appreciate it.

You dont have to use totalcommander. Since it is a registry tweak, you can use a simple Registry Editor that you can download from Windows Marketplace for free

Bro.
I think if the cab file available, it more pleasure like audiopara cab file
TQ

Didn't find any change.

No changes to my xperia x2 either..
I've been dealing with low volume issue of WM since my O2 atom but not for my Samsung Valencia (c6625), so I just copied all samsung's ringtones and alarms from my valencia and use it in my X2, hahaha . they are sound nicer and louder! SE could have done much much better providing us lots of (nice and loud) ringtones just like samsung did.

i have found a program that increases your volume

Many Many Many thanks to HS_LuKa_ i want to tell that the application is perfect and sound is very loud and if u receive error when run it first time just restart the phone ,
thanks again HS_LuKa_
