My earpiece volume is adequate for me when it is set to MAX, but it reverts to somewhere in the middle every time I power cycle or reset my phone. I want it to stay at full volume *always*. I have changed everything I could find in the registry having to do with volume to the maximum, but still the phone always boots up at the halfway point. Driving me nuts!
Is there any way to force my volume to stay at the maximum level all the time, and preserve that setting when the phone is reset or powered off and on?
BUMP - in the hopes that someone knows the answer to this and missed it the first time around....

Hi, i have just got a new xda orbit and noticed that when the backlight goes off after a set period (30 secs), it seems to be still lit but only very slighty, so at night you still see the today screen etc. But if i press the power button then the display goes off. Is this correct ?
The reason im asking as i have been using an xda mini s for over a year and when the backlight times out the display is not visible at all in the dark. You have to press the power button to see the screen again.
Hope this makes sense
Yes, that is fine. The dim backlight will go out in time too.
MaskedMarauder is 100% right. It will go out eventually.
Ok thanks guys for the quick reply, just obsevered it last night and noticed it was different.
Thanks again...
I've tried posting about this before, but it never gets answered - i've got a mda III, and that dims to brightness 1 (from within the registry), but will never go out - regardless of what rom i've tried.
I've also noticed that i can force set it to 0 in the registry, but thats the overall screen brightness. None of the other reg keys (putting bkl1:, etc in the various power keys) seem to work.
Any one got any ideas or utils to sort this? I'd try to code this as there are some code samples which allow you to force this, but i've not got VS
Like you i've tried all the registry edits i can think off to no avail. I too have a wizard and find this irritating - plus backllight stays on when media player on etc.. No difference with wm6 so i guess it maybe a hardware issue. I use a small app to turn off display when apps are running and i want the display off.
I use backlight time of 30 secs and power of 1 minute - so overall similar to my wizards backlight time of 1 minute.
why not..
why not just pres the I/O button on the side to turn off the backlight when u don't want it on? obviosuly a bit of a hassle, but if u get into the habit of doing it, no problems
Because that puts the device into standby and turns everything else off too (except the phone etc.) So if your listening to music your plunged into silence.
I had an XDA2i (Alpine) previous to my Orbit and I actually prefer the dimmed screen.
A brief press on the 1/0 power button WILL make the device go into standby.... BUT...
press and HOLD the power button for LONGER than 2-3 seconds and it toggles the backlight on and off, whilst STILL keeping the device on!
hope this helps

While playing around with my phone I noticed something pretty weird. These are the steps I'm doing:
Screen off
Press and Hold volume down and press volume up while holding, release all
Repeat until the phone does a single vibration pulse (occasionally the phone will continuously vibrate until i turn the screen on)
At this point, if I turn on the screen and unlock the phone, usually within a few seconds it will do 3 short vibration pulses.
What is the point of this? Is this something in the phone itself? Potentially an app? I'm leaning towards one of my apps but I'm not sure which.
I'm running a stock deodexed rom with the kingx kernel.
Mine does the same thing I'm running Fresh 3.5.0.1 with Netarchy 4.2.2 kernel.
I wonder what it is, maybe it just has something to do with having vibration on with the ringer.
My EVO is forever switching itself to silent mode without me doing it (that I am aware of). I never intentionally set it to that myself. It's either in full sound/vibrate mode or vibrate only. However, often while texting I'll sit my phone down, pick it up later, and see I have missed texts and the phone is in silent mode.
How does that keep happening? Is it something I'm doing while hitting the power button to shut the screen back off?
the volume keys can set the ringer to up, down, or on vibrate.

Right, but I have my volume maxed out all the time, and I know that during the process of sitting my phone down on the desk I'm not holding in the volume button and running it all the way down to nothing. Plus, I don't think you can alter the ringer volume with the volume keys while the screen is off, can you?
*ok I just figured it out*
What I must be doing is accidentally squeezing the volume up button as I grip the phone and press the power button to shut the screen off. That puts the phone in silent mode. Mystery solved!
Some (a lot) of ROMs, including stock, also have an option to silence/send to voicemail when the phone is placed face down, as well. Sometimes, it seems like these options can inadvertently be triggered by setting it down wrong, or even moving it around in your pocket. Just something I have noticed.

I forgot about that option. I always make sure my phone doesn't do that as I always have my hands in my pockets when I walk and almost always have my phone face down on my desk when not using it.
Hey guys really need your help. I've noticed that my volume is getting stuck in like a mute mode. It doesn't ring at all and the volume controls do not work. I primarily notice this especially after I have connected a bluetooth device to my phone. I tried doing a search and couldn't find any info on this. I did find the issue pertaining to older phones but their recommended "closing all apps" didn't fix the problem. The only way I can get my volume to function again is to power cycle my phone. Downside, is unless I'm constantly monitoring my phone, I don't always notice that it has happened and have missed several calls as a result.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
if you press the volume up or down and then press the speaker icon (that appears on top left) one or two times and then you can increase the volume and decrease as normal, it will solve the problem, i dont know how i got stuck with mute but this solved my problem at least
I have a knob/sound problem with my HU (MTCE px5 Android 8 with 3 buttons and a knob) and i strongly believe that is a software issue, as it always happens at 10-20 first minutes, then everything is fine.
I start the HU everything running fine, but NO SOUND, turn knob or steering volume buttons volume bars appear but no sound. If I wait 5-10 minutes usually the sound starts suddenly. Now i ve been to a high level to trick the sound to awake, so find out jumping from app to app may awake faster. The weirdest trick I found is to turn the knob and immediately in the touch screen with my finger to the volume bar left right usually works. When the sound awakens, for some minutes the volume does not smoothly go up or down, but there are big gaps and steps!
Everything starts while the HU has the factory ROM. I 've done factory reset twice, nothing. Now i have installed Malaysk 3.5 (which is great), hoping to solve the issue, but not.
Any idea, maybe knob mapping, or knob resetting or anything else?
Anyone??
Send it back for warranty service? What else have you tried and what does reseller suggest?
