TWEAK: (WM6.5) Ringtone much quieter than preview volume - *FIXED!!* - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

**PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY AND ARE COMFORTABLE REVISING IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!**
Hey guys,
My first tweak post, so be gentle!
So, I always like to take the source audio file and bump it up to maximum dB levels while ensuring sound integrity. This way, the ringtone is nice and loud if I set the phone's volume to max. (Keep in mind, you can always make a ringer quieter, but can't make it louder than maximum allowable by the phone.)
I was in the process of making custom ringtones for my TP2 and testing out their volume through the settings/audio/preview panel. Here, the ringtone sounded nice and loud, but to my dismay, when I got a phone call, the ringer was easily 2/3 the volume of when I previewed it even though it was set to max volume!
So, after researching online and doing a few different combinations under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories, I found that the following registry revisions ensured that I get the same maximum audio output when a ringtone actually goes off as when I preview it:
***CAB INSTALL:***
Just download the attached cab below and install!
(Courtesy of XDA Senior Member cerealfreak, thanks bud!)
***MANUAL INSTALL: Make sure the following keys ONLY have the values listed.***
1) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation:
Make sure you ONLY have the following entries:
Value 0: DWORD, Value data: 0
Value 1: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 2: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 3: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 4: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 5: DWORD, Value data: 1
2) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:
Value AttenuationCategory: DWORD, Value data: 4
Value DefaultSound: Leave alone, default
Value Directory: Leave alone, default
Value InitVol: DWORD, Value data: 5
Value Speaker: DWORD, Value data: 1 (Thanks leepriestenator!)
3) Soft reset
4) Test with an incoming call... your max volume should be much louder than before!
***AUTO REG INSTALL:***
1) Download "Ringer fix.zip"
2) Extract "Ringer fix.reg" & copy it to your Storage Card
3) Run Registry Editor
4) Select left most button (single folder w/ lightning bolt), then choose "Import..."
5) Find the "Ringer fix.reg" file that you stored and select "Done".
6) When it asks you if you want to import, say "yes/OK."
7) Soft reset and you're good to go!
(WARNING: As with any other ringtone, if this makes your ringer sound too loud & with static, then your source ringtone is too loud and must be adjusted down as this could blow out your speaker after extended use!)

Had the same issue with a quiet ringer and even system volumes (basically, anything that comes out of the speaker as a notification or ring), and this didn't solve it..... Really hoped this would, as I won't use AudioPara 3 or 4 until it is in a CAB file I can uninstall completely - lots of issues with people saying there are too many other registry changes going on that affect mic volume as well when using AudioPara!
I set all my settings to the ones listed, soft reset, and saw that all the settings were still saved, none reverted back as is the case with the HD Tweak change..... really, what is the point in changing the volume in a tweak like that if it doesn't save when the phone is reset? Did I really buy a phone that requires me to use HD Tweak every time I reset it to make sure the volume is loud enough to hear?

Sounds like we're describing two different issues. My issue was... when I previewed the ringtone at MAX volume under settings, it would be much louder than what the phone actually rang when a call came in. The registry settings above fixed this for me.

We're both saying the same thing - both had a quiet ringer as an actual notification regardless. I tried the AudioPara3 replacement file after backing it up and now my loudspeaker is noticeably louder. But thanks anyways, maybe this will work for others!

did not work for me either. when i preview the ring tone its loud but when i get a call its not as loud????????????

Did you make sure that Value AttenuationCategory is a DWORD & not STRING? For some reason, it's defaulted as a STRING.
Also, if you have any Speaker value under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:, make sure you delete that. HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring should ONLY have 4 values in it.

Fixed it. Thank you!

Will this only affect low ringer volume?
I am looking for a way to turn up the headphone volume, as it is a lot quieter with NRGRom then with the stock HTC ROM

well i gotta say the first time i did it i did not change "attenuationCategory" to DWORD but when i did that it did seem to make a difference. So thanks

Don't delete the speaker value!
This works just as confirmed by everybody else, but (you knew there was a but ) if you delete the Speaker DWORD value and happen to be using a BT headset, then it takes about 3-5 rings before you can hear the ringtone play on your speaker. In fact the ringtone starts playing but you can't hear it until after about 3-5 rings. I have MS Voice Command installed so maybe that could be the added complication. Try it out. If you loose your first 3-5 rings when ur BT headset is connected to your phone, then just restore the speaker value. Leaving it there doesn't have any impact on the volume.
TNX to the original poster.
Cheers
Also, can someone please post what the original SPEAKER value is? I just know that it is a DWORD but don't recall the value after I deleted it. For now I have set the value to "1" and it seems to be working, but i'd still like to know what the original value is.

I usually sync my phone to the car's hands free bluetooth, so I don't experience this problem. I will update my original post with your feedback, thanks!

I've been having wierd problems after trying out some of these changes. Most of the times there doesn't seem to be a problem but on occasion my ringer just doesn't... well... RING!
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Also take a look at this. The Attenuation is set to "2" instead of "4" like we have done bro. Any thoughts on this?

I have to say... I haven't had any non-ring issues. And, I use my phone quite a bit for business/conference calls, so if I had a bunch of missed calls, there would be a lot of upset people...
Might be something else you installed?

Thanks for posting this. It worked for me. I tested it for 2 days and I had no missed calls.

Omg ! It worked !
Wow .. Thanks !!!

And Its WAY TO LOUD NOW !!! I Love IT !
It Also fixed Ms Voice Command Level !
I Now Can Hear Whos Calling Also !
Also Used : AudioPara3_TMO.cab
However did not fix the ring volume - but fixed the volume of everything else!
So between the two fixes .. my god .. is it loud now! lol
( Now if I could Only Get The Ear Volume Like the ring volume I Would Be Freaking Happy! )
Thanks !

Yep, you can always make the ringer lower, but can't make it louder than max.

Must have something to do with MSVC. NRGz ROM gives me everything else I need, so I dont realy have anything else installed.
I disabled the Incoming Call Announcement but it still persisted. I hard reset a few days back so everything is back to normal. I'm gonna give this a shot more carefully this time.
@WarLock... The AudioPara CAB... is it recommended for non TMO Rhodiums (say the Unbranded one)?

How to change Dialtone duration ???

I hope that somebody can help me.
How can i change the duration of the Dail tone
so that when i press the * or # key it will last 250 miliseconds.
I need it to reset my home alarm in case it goes off.
So with a normal Nokia or Samsung phone it works but with my MDA the Alarm-unit doesn't get the correct * tone (to short)
Tuurtje
the button tones are stored somewhere in the registry somewhere (i can't find them right now). probably you could change it in there. Not the duration, but change the complete wav.
Although I'm not sure this would have effect on the actual tone being sent.
Maybe you can just play a sound on your xdaII and your phone would 'hear' it. Long time ago i had a kind of tone dialer which i had to hold against the mic of a telephone to simulate a tone-dialing phone.
@M4io
I checked all the *.wav and *.mid but i could not find a file for the
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 # * buttons.
So i think it's somewhere in the registry, but i do not know where.
Thanks for trying
HKCU/Controlpanel/sounds/Dtmf*
but don't know how to manipulate them
@m4io
Thanks are underway now.
Only need to find proper wav for * key
Change Dtmf tone with PHM Registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/
Choose Dtmf number (0-9, also # and *)... Dtmf0, Dtmf1 etc
Rename 'Sound' to 'Sound2' (as backup)
Select: Edit - New String Value
Value name: Sound
Value Data: pathname of wav ( \Storage Card\10.wav for Dtmf*)
I now have a voice from TomTom connected to it and it works
So pressing the * key i will hear 100 yeards
So thanks for the hint
Tuurtje
Does not work
Even that i change the build in tone to a wav file the duration is still way to short.
I build a wav file of 500 milliseconds but when i press the * key it only last about 100 milliseconds.
So i hope that somebody knows a way to increase the time the tone is send over the telephone-line.
You can check it by pressing a dial key and keep pressing it. It will only generate a very short duration. While i want it to last as long as i press the key.

Ring Delay

Hi guys,
I have been using Uni for almost a year. The most annoying thing about Uni is I always miss a call whenever someone calls me. The reason is, the uni only starts ringing after 4-5 seconds (sometimes more) after the caller dialed my number. By the time I want to accept the call, the caller has already hung up.
I have tried to search through the forums but couldnt find any posts regarding this issue. (Maybe I never look hard enough). So I post it here since there are so many senior Uni user here and someone might give some ideas how to resolve it.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all, I am new the the forum !
I have the same problem on my qtek 9000. On top of that is the volume of an incomming phonecall not load enough. I am using a program called ringo ringtones in order to use MP3 as ringtones.
As a PDA is the 9000 great but as a phone...well it could be a lot better.
Anybody any idea what could be the reason of the delay of an incomming phonecall and the low volume...
Rgds

Did not have low volume problem since last orange Rom (June 06)
for Ring delay you can use : Tweaks2k2
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=20050224182009983
The volume is loud enough if a listen to the ringtone in ringo ringtones or even in windows, but when I receive an incoming call there is a big difference in the volume...
the problem usually comes when you use vibrate with tones. try to remove the vibrate and you would notice that the phone responds much faster with just the tones.

Yes, I have switched to tones only and the phone starts calling after the 1st ring...even the volume seems solved now...

Ring Delay Solved

Interesting...but it seems that it only works with wav. files.
I have a mix of MP3 and Wav files. I wil use Audacity to boost the volume of the mp3 files...Will keep you updated...

I actually downloaded the cab files and tried it on my Uni. And it worked like a charm. You can hear the ring almost immediately after the caller calls, and the ring volume is loud enough. The catch is, you have to use 'ring' only and .wav files for your ring tone.
But, when I'm in standby mode, the delay is still there. It takes time for it to power up and ring. So I disable power off and close the clamshell to conserve battery power. The device works good in power up mode, not in standby mode.
When I have the Q in StBy mode in ring only, it takes 1 ring before my phone starts calling...Thats an acceptable delay for me. I am not gonna instal the cab files as I would like to keep using MP3 and wav files...As my wife complained about here P800 being not loud enough I will try to boost the volume of here ringtones using the program audacity. I will be happy if I could solve it in this way!

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

But I solved the problem already thanks to craigiecraigie4 hints, I just need to transfer my ringtones and contact pictures to internal memory instead of storage card and the delay is gone. Maybe I'm using a low speed storage card so it takes time to access all the data from there.

In-Call Volume Issues.

I just received my HTC Dash. It's been unlocked, and upgraded to HTC WM6. The In-Call volume is horribly low. The Joggr does affect it, but even at it's loudest it's hard to hear in a quiet room. I've searched the forums and made every registry change I could find, but none of which seem to affect the volume on a call. Any suggetions?
The most effective thing you can do is to make sure the Volume Strip is at its maximum level, and then disable it in Settings. If you touch it slightly when enabled during a call, you can turn it down. Best to disable it.
There are registry edits which I did, but once I realized my Volume Strip was disabled at a low volume setting, I put them back to their original values after turning up the Strip.
Once in a call, I jog it up and get the "Earpiece Volume" Screen. It's set to max (indicator bar on screen is full), and it's still entirely too low to hear. The speaker volume and everything seems fine. I just cant get the earpiece increased. Even will the volume you low, I can jog it down, and make it get even lower, it's like the top-end isnt high enough.

I've went through all the settings and back, with no volume change.
Any other suggetions?
Did you restart the phone after making the changes?
I made the changes, adjusted my volume strip to max, and then it was painfully loud so I had to reduce the settings as follows:
CODEC 00
EAC 72
EARPHONE UPLINK 15
RECEIVE UPLINK 19
(I couldn't enter 0's anymore, for some reason!)
Anyway, it's perfect now for me. Don't know what else to tell ya!

How to control the headset volume?

Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie
I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:

the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.
I link the original discussion which helps me to find the solution:

however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...

You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.

AudioPara3.csv values for *decreasing* speakerphone volume?

I've managed to tweak the VZW TP2 earpiece volume down to some comfortable levels, but now am faced with the problem of the speakerphone being too loud when changing to it.
I've tweaked the PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOLX lines, specifically the rxVolume and rxCodecGain columns and put in a value 1/8th of their current value... and it does not seem to make a difference.
Is there another row that should be tweaked?
