I used to have loud and clear tones when pressing on the number pad for dialing and whatnot- and in a call, they sound normal.
However, when dialing a number, they are extremely low volume, very faint - you have to get close to know it's making any sound at all.
There is no specific volume control for the number pad
my media, in-call, and ringer volumes are all at full.
This might have started around the time I took my Bell Legend to 2.2 with the RUU.
Is it a bug? Fixable?
ive noticed the ruu has slightly lower volume levels than the bell firmware had...not sure why...
Install QuickSettings from market and you will be able to set up volume of system sounds
without having to install an app, surely there is a way to get the volume back up? or is that just a product of the europe 2.2 ROM?
for whatever god-forsaken reason, it's suddenly back to normal proper volume.
I haven't done anything with phone since this thread except normal use (make calls/texts/check internet/etc)

My Wizard is acting very weird. Whenever the phone rings the phone volume automatically goes to the highest level. I would change it to a low volume but once another call comes in it goes back up by itself. Also, once in a while, there's no sound from any speaker even though the volume bar shows there's sound. Adjusting the volume bar doesn't bring the sound back--it's muted. I have to reset the phone to fix the problem.
FYI: I'm using T-MO custom ROM 2.17.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas? Thanks
That's not about cracking sounds... Actually I think there's another thread regarding this behavior (maybe with 1.43), but I can't find it.
Anyways, when I received an incoming call (and using the earpiece) and the volume is already set to its maximum I noticed that the actual volume is weaker than what it supposed to be. so I started to play with the volume rocker down and back up to maximum set - and suddenly, I could hear my client louder and clearer.
I haven't tried it with outgoing calls, but it is the situation each time I receive an incoming call. I have to play with the rocker in order to get the right volume intensity.
Have you noticed that as well?...
Am I the only one?! is my device faulty?!
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 guys,
sometimes, let's say one time per day i have strange bug with ring volume..i noticed that somehow ring volume going down on the lowest dash immediately after i dial any number, if i just press CALL that is enough for this strange bug. so after that i can pump volume to the maximum but if i dial again volume will go down by itself
so i tried to power off phone, still nothing, only restart will fix this, and that is pain in the ass because it restart all the process & apps on your phone
anyone have this weird situation with ring volume??
i use original rom with all updates that came so far...
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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
