T-Mo version specific - earpiece audio quality improvement - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

after reading and reading about how those of us with the T-Mobile version of the TP2 - having to deal with muffled/bassy earpiece volume on a call... I came to the realization that the T-Mobile audiopara3 file structure is unique on the T-Mobile version.
I synched and went into the phones WINDOWS directory and found three... yes three CSV "audiopara3" files that were the same byte size (119k)
they are:
* AudioPara3.csv
* AudioPara3_ATT.csv
* AudioPara3_TMO.csv
which led me to believe that the T-MO versions were being told to load the audio parameters located in the "AudioPara3_TMO.csv" file.
I copied all three files to my laptop... twice (in different folders - so as to keep copies of the original files intact).
since most of those using the unbranded HTC TP2 reported their earpiece volume was "clear"; I renamed the "AudioPara3.csv" (now on my laptop) to "AudioPara3_TMO.csv", and then copied it back to the TP2 WINDOWS directory (overwriting the original AudioPara3_TMO.csv).
Going back & forth between the original "AudioPara3_TMO.csv" and the renamed "AudioPara3.csv" file in it's place...I did a few A-B comparison test-calls to my wife at work, making certain she always used the same phone during these tests There is a definite improvement in audio quality using the renamed CSV. Not a day/night improvement; but it's no longer muffled; seems the bassiness is reduced. I can't say it's any louder in amplitude, but ceretainly much easier to understand the caller.
With this change, all I've tested are the earpiece and speakerphone functions during a phone call; and video playback via Windows Media Player. I don't use BT or a headset - so I don't know if this "file updating" has caused any other undesireable effects.
If anyone trys this (at your own risk !!! ), I hope they would report any undesired consequences that may occur.
Now that the muffled sound is cleared up, I'd still like to alter the one value in this CSV file that adjusts the earpiece amplitude gain - obvioudsly to increase the volume level a little bit.
I hope someone can narrow-down all the numbers stored in this CSV file - finding just the one value that needs changed. I'm hesitant to just "play around" by blindly changing multiple fields...
ADDED: after you overwrite the original "AudioPara3_TMO.csv" file with the other (renamed) file... you may notice that the first power-on after the overwrite - the volume setting may not be exactly where you left it when powering down. So during testing, you need to change the volume setting back to where you normally keep it. Subsequent power cycles; it is remembering the last setting. That first power-on; appears to go to some pre-defined level.

Wow I was just trying to do this myself before I read your post. One question though. How did you get it to replace the file? Everytime I try to overwrite the AudioPara3_TMO.csv it will throw back an access denied.
Also I found the values that need to be changed.
That values under rxvolume (last column) compare them to the TMO file.

As you can see the original file goes to A0C2 (41154) for headset and to 5A67 (23143) for TMO. Almost half.

As a side note; during my A-B test calls, I always turned off the phone each time (and even briefly removed the battery) - to be certain the file I just copied over to the phone would get accessed.

Hey; Thanks!!!!
The only problem encountered in my file renaming and overwrite - was that the files first didn't appear in the laptops directory I copied them to. Seems they are flagged "hidden system files". I changed my laptops "my computer" viweing to allow the display of hidden system files - and they appeared. I was able to rename and copy to the TP2 without any problems or errors.
I did not change the files attributes; instead I changed the viewing parameters for my laptops "My Computer" function.

I can view the files just fine in the file explorer it just won't let me overwrite them. Do you have the Hardware-SPL that allows custom ROMs installed? I don't just wondering if that may be the problem.

Install Resco File Explorer. Copy the file into a different folder on the phone. Then, on the phone, use the Resco "Copy To" function to make it overwrite the original version. Quite why this works when every other similar approach seems to fail, I don't know, but it does.

no; it's a 100% stock T-Mo TP2
I am doing this from active-synched Laptop to phone... never tried using just the TP2 by itself.

Thanks that worked perfectly. But after replacing the file I still don't notice any difference in sound quality in call.
Edit
After Lowering and the re-raising the volume it actually does sound better now. Maybe you have to do that to have the settings load in.

I didn't mention (and I'll edit my original post if possible) that during my A-B testing... sometimes after the file copy and power-cycling; the power-on volume setting wasn't always to the maximum. Once I discovered that I re-did the A-B testing; always making sure the volume was back to max before making the test calls.
MY TP2 now powers on at the last volume setting I had it saet to; but it seemed to reset to some pre-determined value the first power-up after the file overwrite.
It's not a day/night improvement... but the reduction of bass really helped with the overall the clarity.

how does this change the other para file that we edited for the external speaker loudness?
will this change those changes?

I tried this with my Tmobile tp2, and I def noticed an increase in sound and quality. Thanks a million!!!!!!

This totally works! Thanks guys!

I thought it was just me. I had read reviews about the good sound quality, but to me it sounded like everyone I talked to had a towel wrapped around their phone. I haven't tried out the new audio file extensively yet (at 1am, most people don't appreciate getting a sound-check call...go figure). But after calling into phonemail, I can tell some higher frequencies are there now, along with a bit more clarity.
Like Mike said, not a night/day difference, but a little bit more treble goes a long way. Good find!

I have Resco File explorer and the Registry edit.
* AudioPara3.csv
* AudioPara3_ATT.csv
* AudioPara3_TMO.csv
I couldnt find any of these files when searching using the Registry edit. I was able to search using the file explorer, but the explorer did not give me what directory these files are located in. With the search results, i also wasn't able to copy from the search results either. When i tapped the search results, it opened up the windows folder... scrolling through the entire windows folder, there was no Audiopara3.csv file.
Where is this file located?
Is there something in the registry i can just edit? If so, can someone please provide the path.

\Windows folder

Its not in here. I do however have a lot of files that have numbers then an underscore Manila. When i try to open one of these files, it ask what program to open this file with on the phone. to give an example: 4c6c16d7_manila
When i search for audiopara3.csv ... i tap on the search results and it does take me to the /window folder so it has to be in here, but it's not listed.
Are there hidden files on the touchpro2?
(Thanks for the quick reply.)

Yes, there are. You can go into Resco's Config or Options screen (I don't have the phone with me right now) and select/deselect checkboxes as necessary to display hidden and system files. You'll see the audio files then.

there's been a cab to replace the files automatically.

No cab files needed, just edit these reg files
Try this Registry Tweak
Increase voiceVolume:
Registry: HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
Key: AttenuationCategory
Default: 2
New Value: 1
Registry: HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
Key: InitVol
Default: 3
New Value: 10
There are a few other Reg keys just like this called "InCall" not sure if I should edit those as well though

This cab works great. I replaced the files manually sometime ago but flashed a new ROM and flashed back because I like the stock one better. This will save me some time in the future and it works like a charm. It removes the muffled sound for sure.

MS Voice Command... any good?

is Microsoft Voice Command any good?
Voice Command has to be one of the best programs I ever installed. The ability to start and end calls without ever touching the phone (using Bluetooth headset) is excellent. There is support for controlling the media player as well as launching other programs / Web pages.
Now the down side. On the Universal, there are a few issues. First, Voice Command will not work from a bluetooth headset correctly with the screen closed. You have to have the screen open, or in PDA mode for Voice Command to work. Second, there is an issue with Voice Command not showing a contact correctly on request.
Other than those two issues, I am very happy with Voice Command and highly recommend it. For a program that requires no voice training, I think it is very good. The functions are limited but for the price, good stuff.

No.
Well,
1) Speech is very quiet. Too quiet to hear unless you are in a very quiet room. A hack to improve this doesn't make any (noticeable) difference.
2) Speech recognition only works in a quiet room.
3) Don't work unless Exec is in 'phone' mode.
4) Contacts don't display correctly. Copying the res file doesn't work for everyone - including me.
5) Programs supported are not customisable - you have to stick with the shipped Microsoft applications. You cannot replace the Calendar or Media player with ones of your choice (PocketInformant and TCPMP spring to mind.). This is inexcusable.
6) Memory footprint. Large program, especially as 90% of its features are useless to me (see point 5)
In conclusion. I have now uninstalled it.
Its good fun for the show off factor =) and the res fix worked with me.
Hi,
I have played around with it but it's crashes my universal day by day.
Contacts are not shown, ok, but the universal gets so slow and crashes very often.
Other programs could not be started and so on.
I tried to deactivated from crash to crash another program which runs and after I deactivated the Microsoft Voice Command, system gets faster and all my problems has gone.... ;-)
Does anyone know if there will be a new version of this program which will work with WM5?

Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49147&start=25 there's a patch for M$V1.5 for WM5 posted by me there. Fixed all the problems for me, made it louder, clearer and more stable.
Regards.
Some tweaks may solve the problem.
I have a Cingular 8125 with 200Mhz CPU (reportedly running at 180Mhz only).
I use Omapclock to speed up PocketSNES, but it doesn't speed up the keyboard selector at all.
Also tried the Registry trick, but restoring the original Registry after installing Voice Command clears everything, settings, program icon... ... and disable Voice Command.
So it's not a good solution.
Finally tried to tweak the Registry (for generally speeding up WM5).
It's worked so perfectly for me.
The Keyboard Selector menu pops up in 1 second or less, almost instantly.
Before tweaking, even without Voice Command installed, it takes 2 to 4 seconds.
Here are the steps:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I.
Increase cache: Noticable effect on WM5.01. Use any registry editor:
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
* Change 'limit' to 8192 up to 32768
* Close registry editor (Save)
* Soft reset
II.
Disable Animated Menu (I know, doesn't relate much with the KB selector problem, but it speeds up the whole system anyway)
Use Registry Editor:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu,
* Change "AniType" from default 6 to 0
III.
Use any add-on that close the programs for real, not just minimize it (SPB Pocket Plus, or PHM Free Utilities, whatever)
IV.
Increase SD card access rate:
Use Registry Editor:
* hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\mmc_class
* hklm\drivers\sdcard\clientdrivers\class\SDMemory_c lass
Change both BlockTransferSize from 64 to 128 or 256
(I use 256. Don't know if it make the reading/writing process any unstable, but so far no problem for me ever. Plus I have backup, so why worry)
V.
Affects WM5.0 and can increase overall speed up to 20%
Use Registry Editor to change from default 0 to:
* [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] CacheSize = 4096 EnableCache = 1 * [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt] ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096
SOFT RESET
(For me, I did everything before Resetting)
PHM registry Editor can be downloaded from http://www.phm.lu/products
Good luck.
If that does not solve your problem, please tell. Because then I know that I might accidentally did something else that made it work

ATT Tilt 2 In Call Volume

Curious what other people's opinions are about the Tilt 2's in call volume? It seems a bit low at max volume and kind of muffled. I've been messing with registry hacks and the AudioPara3 files to see if I can make any sort of difference, but to no avail. Wondering if it's just my phone or not?
Nvm.. AudioPara files fixed it finally.
Phone shipped with the following AudioPara3 files:
AudioPara.csv
AudioPara3.csv
AudioPara3_ATT.csv
AudioPara3_ATT_10776_V2.csv
AudioPara3_TMO.csv
AudioPara3_Boot.csv
First off, your registry points to which CSV file to use...
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev : AcousticFile
Mine was pointed to the ATT_10776_V2. Changed the registry to a few others but it didn't seem to make much of an improvement. The others on this thread said they had better volume quality with the original ATT. Went to their zip files and indeed, the ATT is different. Grabbed it, renamed it AudioPara3_ATT2.CSV and changed the registry key. Soft reset and much better!

Hello there... you should change the topic to something like AT&T Tilt 2 Muffled / Broken Speaker ISSUE... (so more people can see it and come here)
just got mine yesterday and everything about the phone is great except the muffled / broken speaker sound during call... I'm going to try your solution right know... if it doesn't work... will return it first thing tomorrow... I have to set sound volume during call at half or even less so I don't get this broken speaker sound... I think mine is worst than yours...
anyone else with this issue?
thanks!
EDIT >>> Just tried a bunch of AudioPara3 files and the question is... which was the worst... This is a hardware issue... a huge hardware issue... I really don't think anything will solve this (unless another Tilt 2) any ideas anyone?
I'm having this problem as well. Sort of like someone is holding a pillow over the speaker.

Hello there... just came back to the post to let you guys know that this issues are hardware related... sorry... but it is the reallity. Today I went back to AT&T and I returned the "muffled/broken speaker" phone... and I got another with 2 dead pixel's right in the freaking middle of the screen... I noticed it on the store and change it back again... and finally the 3rd Tilt 2 works flawless... ( and all 3 Tilts were opened by myself, not refurbish/used etc... so... the question is... is it just me with the worst luck on Earth... or the Tilts are actually having all sort of issues??? I upgraded from an HTC Tilt (the original) and that one is still rock solid and working great... so... anyone with issues with the new Tilt 2???
thank you...
same here, dont know if i just should go and replace it, did anyone try replacing and did they get anything better in return?

Improves the volume well, but still a little muffled sounding. It sounds fine, you can hear the other person, it's just different from what I'm used to. Maybe it's meant to be softer sounding...

Okay, so i've searched all over and i can't seems to find anyone else shared this tips before. My apology if i made a mistake on my searching though
So i picked this up from the X1 thread quite a while ago, can't remember who posted it first. This tweak should make your screen a lot more responsive and you dont need to press the screen hard the whole time to do stuff.
1. Get MS Compact Framework 3.5 Here
2. Get Schaaps Advance Config Tool Here
3. Scroll down to HTC TouchFLo
4. Change the pressure threshold to custom -> Click -> Change the value to 999999999 (nine 9s)
5. Change the finger pressure to 999999999 (nine 9s)
6. Done, soft reset.
Your screen should be (almost) as good as capacitive screen now (except for the multi touch of course)
cheers.
p.s All this was done in stock Touch Pro 2 ROM WWE Asia 1.19.707.2
What I do is go into a registry editor and go to
HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold =65000 (the higher, the more sensitive)
That's good enough for me! But for those who don't like the reg tweaks, it's good that you posted that.
yea, this is for those people who doesn't like dwelling into registry (my kind of people )
enjoy it folks

am curious of that myself. mine was set to 53 . i took the plunge and set it to 65 and noticed no ill effects so far
Decreasing the value is the way to go . I've got mine working with a value of 0 and screen responsiveness (particularly with on-screen keyboard) is tremendous! No more missed swipes and touches. In fact, the screen is showing up the slowness of the TP2 in certain applications (caches on-screen key presses where program eventually catches up with what you entered).

please explain how decreasing the screen's sensitivity increases its responsiveness to touch. the whole concept is counter intuitive.

Weird I know, but I've been always told that closer to 0 is more sensitive.
So whats the verdict on if either increasing or decreasing the value increases sensitivity?
Also, I've never messed with my registry on a windows mobile device, and honestly my expirience with it on XP and earlier has been relatively minimal. Are there any toturials on how to open a reg editor in windows mobile? If I rememebr correctly on XP machines you go to start>run>conf

Don't be afraid of the registry! I use MobileRegistryEditor. You can edit the registry from your desktop with your phone plugged in via USB. Viewing the registry on a laptop screen vs. a phone IMO helps to eliminate mistakes and is much quicker.

well i tried both settings and i must say that decreasing it to 0 really did increase the sensitivity.
like i said earlier it is counter intuitive, but it is a noticable difference.

EDIT: its start > run > regedit
and the registry key is called "PressureThreshold"
Threshold means "the smallest detectable sensation"
so in fact, the closest the value to "0", the better (or at least that is what makes sense)
BTW, I do not have an HTC phone, nor Windows Mobile phone, .. but i am planing to buy Touch Pro2, so i read this topic, and felt like explaining the whole thing from an "English" point of view, Lol
cheers
wow, now im confused. I've only done the tweak via the advance config,never via registry. Can it be different?
Before i changed it the value of my pressure threshold was 60000 something, i cant remember, while finger pressure was 0. When i had my xperia,none if this value would shows 0. It seems that both of this value changes if you do the screen calibration thing.
oh and happy new years folks

It shouldn't make a difference, in the configuration i assume you have to touch the screen so the phone calibrate your threshold right?
so i assume you should touch it "lightly" so the phone recognizes your threshold as light, and eventually be more responsive.
EDIT: i have found this, it is related to Touch Pro, ... I dont know wither it applies to Touch Pro2 or not
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=56412
As i said before, I am just talking common sense, nothing from real experience with the actual device as i do not own one, ... yet
happy holiday season!
is this a 6.5 or a 6.1 tweak?
because with 6.5 I discovered that GWE setting for touch it best set @1 rather than 0. this way the htc drivers are doing the work and not the ms...
as for the biotouch setting to zero, this would be turning the htc driver off and just using the ms driver.
(this is my assumption that the two different sets of drivers conflict)
its different? i did it on stock Touch Pro 2 6.1 ROM. Sorry about the missing info,i'll put it up on the first post.

I'm currently testing the "999999999" and it seems pretty sensitive. Will test on a couple more apps before trying th "0" input.

Well I found the registry tweak I posted (post2) from a different forum. I found that the stock ROM's settings had the decimal value at 15000. When I brought it up (as the instructions said the higher the better) to 65000, I noticed that screen sensitivity increased.
I'll try "0" later on.
As for the Advanced Config settings, the Pressure Threshold setting in Advanced Config controls the registry setting I posted in post2.
UPDATE: In HKLM\Drivers\Touch Panel\PressureThreshold, in the Decimal Value I tried "0" for 2 hours. I then switched to "100000" for 2 hours. IMO, "100000" was way more sensitive for me; "0" was very resisitive to my motions.
Hmmm ... I have mobile 6.5 wwe t-mobile tp2
Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
If you wana test how mobile figures out how to set it ..
goto: settings / system / screen / align screen
and run the alignment test ..
If I PRESS REALLY HARD EVERYTIME I get ..
fingerpressure 22
pressurethreshold 48
If I PRESS REALLY SOFT EVERYTIME I get ..
fingerpressure 26
pressurethreshold 57
So ...
If I Set BOTH to 10 it should make it harder to push / scroll ???
and I Set BOTH to 100 it should make it easier to push / scroll ???
Because I change them and it doesnt really seem to make a difference
What do you guys get when you run the screen test and let mobile figure it out ?

I didn't do a screen test, but for the set both to 10/100:
Make a greater difference. Example: set both to 10. Then for comparison, set both to 10000. With the greater difference between 10 and 10000, you should see a greater difference in the behavior of the screen.
EDIT: I did the "test" for the screen.
Results (hard test):
Finger Pressure: 21
Pressure Threshold: 48
Results (soft test):
Finger Pressure: 24
Pressure Threshold: 54
So I guess, the higher the numbers, the more sensitive it would have to be?

Increase Incall Volume for Tilt2???

Attached below are all files/cabs ive tried and none doing any better then the other. Sure the bluetooth volume is increased as well as the speaker on the back of the phone, but looking to also have the small speaker (that you normally use to listen to the other person, one on the front of the phone) to increase since its still low even at the max level! Any ideas? Ive tried installing the full audio boost cab, then the tilt2 specific cab (anyone know what the difference is here?), then copied and overwrote the audiopara3 file in windows, soft reset, even tried a soft reset inbetween each process and still no good. Any ideas?

Try the files I attached, and then reset the phone before attempting, also make sure the volume is all the way up before testing incalls.
Files included are:
AudioPara3_AttMax (Directly into Windows folder)
Bluetooth Line Speed.cereg (Import to Phone Registry. I used CE RegEditor)
Modified Incall Loud Settings (2 Locations)
Ring Setting
I take no credit for the Mods.
Reboot and try it out.

These actually do work quite well! I think better then all the above i posted! Anyway to get this in cab form? Kind of a hassle each time i flash a new rom to have to use the desktop ce reg program to import these values each time. Cab would be much nicer if at all possible? Thank you
Made a cab of his settings for anyone that wants to try it ..
Increase Volume.cab
Also here is one that seems to work for me ..
Audio_FINAL1.0_PRO2.cab
Warlock, U beat me to it, but I looked at your file, and seems you made some changes, which aren't my settings, probably to make it work with yours, but I appreciate you making one. I've upped mine as well, which is exactly the same thing as the zip folder just in cab form as requested.
So which ones do what?
This is getting confusing. We now have all these CABS. Much appreciated but which ones do what? Is there just ONE that will increase the speaker volume and earpiece volume and do they also affect the ring-tone volume? I don't know how to compare them all. Can you help clarify please?

Download the files attached to my first post if you dont mind editing the registry. And add the CSV file into the windows folder. If you do not like to mess with the registry, then download my cab file attached to my post and it will install and if you dont like it you can uninstall it from remove programs.
Warlock as nice enough made a cab file, but looking at it seems to have changes in his, so as not to confuse anyone my set of files work. But remember you must install the AudioPara3_ATTMax in the windows folder of the phone.
hey angeldeath, i modified your cab file to include the audiopara file as well.
look on next page for volume cab
Thanks xredjokerx I didnt know how to do that LOL (Aint that sad?)

Thank you everyone, awesome work! Love it when great minds come together. Ill try this one first since these files are the ones that did the trick for me the first time. Any ideas on if i installed this cab, then installed warlock's second cab he posted? I think his first cab is just a mix of these files but his second cab is said to be different. Any ideas on that?

This cab doesnt seem to work. Just took a nap and woke up 20min late cus my device had no sound! I installed this cab, soft reset, now phone has zero sound when u adjust the volume with side hard keys in volume control, alarm clock, stuff like that theres zero sound!
Winner!

tried the increase volume cab, soft reset, checked all sounds on device and all working perfect and much louder! Im not hard of hearing, just my work environment can be very loud at times and moving around a lot i dont always feel my phone vibrate so i need a loud ringer and very loud earpiece as well!
I also installed the second cab (audio_final), soft reset, tested all sounds and all working fine.
To warlock, whats the difference between the first cab u put together and the second cab? Is it best to install both as i did or use one or the other?
I would use just one ..
try it .. if it works great .. if not uninstall it.
try the other ..
if it works great .. if not uninstall it.

Sounds good. Was just curious if one did something the other cab didnt and if it would be better to install both to get the best of both worlds? Either way, greatly appreciate the work!
still confused!
I installed marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase.cab because it reduces the bassiness heard when the headset is connected as well as increasing the headset volume. But what exactly do these other CABS do? There's the handset earpiece volume, the speaker volume, the headset volume and the ringtone volume. What does what? And as one CAB posted here appears not to work, can someone produce an alternative or one CAB that does everything? Thanks for all your input. This is a necessary adjustment to an expensive phone that we can't hear.
The Cab warlock put up after me isnt my file, the reason is cause if you install his cab his cab points to a file that doesnt exist, thats why you would get no sound. My files (In my posts) will, cause the file name it refers to is also attached to my post. So I suggest you dont mix and match or your going to have many sound problems.
These files do the following (Under my posts)
Increase the Ear piece, increase the bluetooth earpiece and sound quality, and increase the ringer of the phone to better hear in a loud enviroment.

oof sorry, i changed the directory of where the file was installed to \Windows instead of %windows% and now all is fixed. sorry about your nap! RE-UPPED
also, beware of any damages that may occur if you raise the volume of any speaker. This is a disclaimer protecting myself, angeldeath and warlockw from any liability in case of any speaker damage. use at your own risk xD

Programatically Change the RING mode of a phone...

I have searched for a long time, and I have used Google to search the internet, xda's search to browse the many threads, and i have scoured through MSDN and I still cannot find an answer.
How can I, programatically, change the Ring mode from VIBRATE to RING, I am not so concerned with the opposite.
-I have found out that HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\InitVol can be 0-5, and if the volume is ALREADY ON, changing it will affect the volume [so that makes it so I only need a way to switch from Vibrate to any Ring sound on]. If the phone is on silent or vibrate, it resets itself to 0.
-I have tried using SndSetSound(SND_EVENT_ALL, ... , ...) and that did not work, even when I tried to go from RING to VIBRATE [maybe my code is just bad...]
-I have attempted using an old program on the forum called V_Vibrate [ from 2006] which failed, and the Command-Line apps for changing sound profiles [which are like 9 pages into this forum] but those failed too.
I am still going to look and look, but it is getting late near where I am, so i was hoping someone may have this knowledge already.
Optimally, i would love to get this code in C++, but at this point, you can give it to me in ASM...
Thank you!
I happened upon your thread searching on how to change the ring volume.
Pretty easily actually. Use SndSetSound().
Here's the C++:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416592.aspx
And I've been successful in doing this in C#http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/aygshell/SndSetSound.html
Could you provide me with a working C++ Sample. My code doesn't seem to work
Thank You
*bump*
Okay, so I sort of got it working, but not the way I want it to.
#1) I realized that SndSetSound() was not working for me before because I was trying to use SND_EVENT_ALL on a Smartphone [WinMo Standard] when it is actually reserved for WinMo Pro...
#2) So, realizing #1, I changed it up and it still said it wasn't working...So I tried to change it to SndSetSound(SND_EVENT_RINGTONELINE1, &sfi, FALSE) where sfi was set to SND_SOUNDTYPE_VIBRATE ... I used FALSE for the last parameter so if there were errors, I would be prompted. IT WORKED!
#3) Having completed #2, which was the OPPOSITE of what I wanted to actuall do [VIB - RING vs. RING - VIB], I kept the code the same, changed sfi to have a filename set to a file (.wma) in the Windows folder, changed it form SND_SOUNDTYPE_VIBRATE to SND_SOUNDTYPE_FILE and re-tested...FAILURE
So what is it that is messing me up here?
I checked and checked, and I dont think that SND_SOUNDTYPE_FILE is for Professional only...
Please help...
So I have been toying around, and I am trying to do just Registry Access/Changes in order to change the ring mode.
So here is what I am doing, and the results:
1) HKCU\\ControlPanel\\Sounds\\RingTone0 -> Sound
Before: *vibrate*
After: \Windows\sound.wma​2) HKCU\\ControlPanel\\Sounds\\RingTone0 -> Script
Before: av3w3r
After: apw3r​ As a result of changing these, I reload the folder in RegEdit and the values are as follows:
1) Auto-changes from what I set to *none* [Occurs AFTER I change #2]
2) Auto-changes from what I set (apw3r) to "a" [No quotes].
So the OS is obviously monitoring changes in these Reg. values, and checking them against something else. Since I am not getting everything, it knows it was 'pre-maturely' changed and seems to set a default...
Further, I have found a Value that can actively change the ring volume on the phone, but under certain circumstances...
1) HKCU\\ControlPanel\\SoundCategories\\Ring -> InitVol
for that Reg Value, if the phone is in SILENT or VIBRATE mode, changing it from 0 does nothing, it gets reset back to 0. HOWEVER, if you are in RING mode then you can change its value from 1 - 5 and it will have an effect... So this proves further there is something ELSE I am missing...
So I looked further and found the following (which I was able to change around):
1) HKCU\\ControlPanel\\Profiles -> ActiveProfile
Before: Meeting
After: Normal​2) HKCU\\ControlPanel\\Profiles -> PreviousProfile
Before: Normal
After: Meeting​Even after changing that, and applying the first set of registry changes to RingTone0, I still could not modify InitVol...
So I went further and found a RegLogger, and i set the filter to only quickapp.exe (which I assume is for the HTCQuickList) and it came up with some interesting Reg Querys and RegSets ... Interestingly enough, It would seem as though all that it does is change the ActiveProfile Value... So I was totally stumped.
I googled online, thanks to some help from aman11dhanpat, and I found some talk about an UnDocumented function: AudioUpdateFromRegistry() I am wondering if maybe I need to call that....So I tried it, but no joy..
Really, does anyone know how to do this?
You can do it via postmessage. I found this over at HS++ homepage in relation to a batch tool:
Code:
# Set Vibra Mode
PostMessage HHTaskBar NULL 1156 2 0
# Set Normal Mode
PostMessage HHTaskBar NULL 1156 0 0
# Set Silent Mode
PostMessage HHTaskBar NULL 1156 3 0
Made a MortScript based on this info that works just fine

Could you send me that script. I tried it myself (one line: PostMessage("", 1156, 0, 0) ) and I confirmed that with the Examples Thread, but it didnt work on my phone. Does that command only work for Touch-Screen / Windows Mobile Professional devices? If so, I need to find another way because I am using a Windows mobile Standard Device (HTC Excalibur)
Hum... That's also how I have it in my script (it's attached if you still want to check).
In the past I used a tiny tool (C++ I believe) I found bundled in a HS++ theme but it always toggles sound>vibe>mute and accepts no commands. It's included in the attachment.
There's this other tool called PFSwitch that also toggles sound profiles (if it works for your device you can ask the dev... or check the code using .NET Reflector).
As another alternative with Dotfred's Task Manager you can spy windows messages (I have used it to find media players call). Maybe it can be of assistance to spy HHTaskBar.

As far as PFSwitch goes, I had tried it very briefly.... and It didnt seem to work, plus I saw this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6577369&postcount=61
I cannot use Dotfred's because it is for Windows Mobile pro, and I am running Windows Mobile Standard (non-touch).
Frmariam, are you running a Windows Mobile Pro (Touch-Screen) Device or Windows Mobile Standard (Non-Touch-Screen) device? I am thinking that the PostMessage, and PFSwitch, etc. only work on Windows Mobile Professional ...
Using Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro... The differences Microsoft put in the different builds are just preposterous...
Its so frustrating !!! I guess I will continue making my program for windows mobile pro devices...and I have to do some sending of fake touches for Windows Mobile Standard (Maybe press the Volume Up Button a few times...) I'll look it up
Thanks for all your help!
