Low phone volume

I have an HTC Hermes and I would like the phone volume to be higher than it is, at the highest setting it seems like it's only about mid level to other phones,
the speaakerphone works great, but not the mini phone speaker.
so how can I increase the volume on the phone part of it.
The volume level is on highest already.

I'd like that too.
It's definitly low and sometimes i have trouble to hear in noisy environement.

Summerblues and Randall, you have to give us a little more information to go on.
Have you flashed a WM6 ROM? If so, which one? Some of the WM6 ROMs were supposed to fix this low volume problem.

I use the Schaps 3.57a wm6 rom.
And the volume is lower than the stock rom imo. Is there a patch or a way to fix it ?
Thx

low volume
I'm using vp3G's WM6 Cingular/AT&T Optimized ROMs

Read the Hermes Wiki theres a post on how to fix this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

Do you mean this entry?
====================================
Fix low volume issue
The volume issue has 2 fixes, 1 permanent and 1 temporary.
If you disable the startup animation (see below) it permanently fixes the volume problem.
If you like the animation you can leave it, but you have to put your phone in sleep mode then bring it out of sleep mode after every reboot.
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again.
======================================
It basically says: "Remove startup animation and you a golden", but it does not work as advertised. I have Sleuth 3.1 ROM which does not have startup animation, but still the earpiece volume is very low.

I've also tried this and it does not have any effect. I'm using VP3G's WM6 AT&T Rom.

I'm kind of just pulling this out of my ass, but I have noticed that on some ROMs, there is a .exe called "set acoustic parameters" or something like that. It runs on first boot. I always assumed that it was the fix for the Hermes being too quiet.
Did your ROMs run that at start up?

Nail on the head! Its that exactly I've tested and cooked many rom's and ALL the ones that dont run "setacoustic.exe" upon a hard reset have low volume.
Here is a sample of what "setacoustic.exe" is setting up....

oh and there are 120 odd of these xml files!!

so how would we add this into a home cooked rom of our own (or tell if it is in the base rom we are using!)
??

Well, the fastest/laziest way to find out if it is in the rom you are using is to ask the maker. Or, if you don't want to do that, you could do a full back up and hard reset. It should run the first boot config again after the setup.
Really though, the setacoustic.exe file takes a really long time to load. Long enough that you would probably remember it if had loaded.

How do i install that in the rom i'm using atm ?
Thx

how can we install it ?

you must cook my files into a rom for it to work.

Ratcom, I was just moving files around on my pc today, and noticed some set acc. files transferring over from some old rom dumps etc, so I took a peek, I have 61 files here including the .exe, I thought they were .xml files also, but these are .csv, are you sure on that xml? I could have some jacked up files, I didn't check a rom directly.
Also, about cooking them in, Im thinking it should be possible to just dump them in the windows directory of the rom you are currently running, and run the .exe, and then they could even be deleted afterwards, Im have not checked this for myself though.
I am also wondering if the .csv/or if its .xml count in each rom that had it is the same. If anyones cares for the files I have, lemme know, I can't post attachments through PIE atm, but Ill up them later if anyone is interested.
Btw, the .csv count jumps from setaccousticparam29 to setaccoustic100, on these files I have here, meaning nothing inbetween 29 and 100, and not having checked a few roms directly myself at the moment, Im not sure if those were intentionally left out oem.
edit: After just quickly checking the above zip, the cusTSK.exe is for setting a .tsk file aka oem preconfig theme, and isn't needed, but that's no biggie, not sure about the others, I would have to check better.

How do you run the .Exe in the windows directory ?

Tapping on it once should run it.

sound?

hi there
i just managed to install android onto a HTC "Kaiser" TyTn2.
everything i need seems to work fine except sound and wifi.
i installed RLS15 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759894
using KaiserCustomRUU.exe
now there seems to be no sound. i called a number, and i hear nothing at all. i tried pressing speaker, and same no sound. vibrates working though. i also tried pulling the vibrate tab but it didnt work. still no sound.
about wifi, i have a Ad-Hoc network from my computer (which i can connect to from my ipod touch 3g - iOS4), but even after turning Wifi on in settings, it just doesnt seem to see my network....
btw i got no "welcome to android" or set up or anything... i did hold the DPad
any help?

I'm not sure but try out another Radio http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 <---- Here
Flash it with HARDSPL or just using CustomRUU when in the tri-color screen.
I could be wrong but that's what I'm guessing
Wi-Fi... Wich kernel did you use?
Try out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9807696#post9807696 Post 118
And use the Androidupdate I attached, It's the one from Liquid wich should fix the Wi-Fi
Let us know if it fixed it
(God i had to edit it a million times before i did it right )

calls do definately go out. i called someone, i coudnt hear anything, and they called me back.

What do you mean by "Welcome To Android" ?

i read in some website that the first screen when booting android for the first time is Welcome to Android

In some builds, when you boot Android, it gives this kind of tutorial on how to use your phone (Wich has as title "Welcome to full android on Kaiser" for example), time and date settings and connect to Google account, It's possible that it isn't in the one you use
Don't worry about it, the welcome to android doesn't show when u press D-pad, the D-pad is to get into the menu when ur kernel is booting (the one with black background and white letters)
The menu is to install your system, make backups, clear dalvik and others

ok... but what do i do now about the sound? (and the wifi if posibble)

Copy KAISIMG.NBH onto the root of your sdcard and plug your sd card into the phone.
Hold down the camera button and turn the device on or reset it.
When you see a tri-colored screen, release the camera button.
When you see a blue text with something like RADIO (i guess) press the power button (just 1 little press, no long pressing)
The device will now update your RADIO, when finished just reset it.
Now reinstall your Android version by holding down the D-center button when asked, then selecting Install System and make it clear data.
[Wi-Fi]
Copy the androidupdate.tgz into your Andboot folder
Reboot the phone and press D-center button when asked
Choose the option to install update
Wait for it to finish and just press quit to boot Android

no problem
hope it works

i just managed to put the KAIS_RADIO_ONLY_1.71.09.01.nbh (which i renamed to KAISIMG.NBH) and i put it on the root after a couple of hours figuring out how to make the phone show up in explorer
i tried starting exactly as you told me, but it boots directly to android - no tricolor. it worked fine before i installed android. so what do i do now?

I don't think there's another way, just, turn phone off, hold camera button in while pressing the power button once
Release the camera button after you see the colored screen

Doesn't show much more than I already said
Did you put hardspl on it anyways?

Thanks... What i managed to do was to simply get into the tricolors by holding power+home, then i connected to computer, and SPL'ed from CustomRUU. it worked, and sound is working. i tried your way but it woudnt detect my .NBH. thanks anyways
but where can i get a androidupdate.tar for the wifi for?
btw quick point, but my camera seems to work!!!! i remember reading that the camera WONT work on android. (it didnt work before installing the latest radio)

Thanks for the file. i just tried installing the liquid update from this post, and all i get is error under wifi (before wifi would turn on - but it kept on searching and found nothing). i did install a old update before this. could that have messed it up?
i also have a problem with USB mounting. I click turn on USB storage, and it works randomly. it works 1 time - doesnt work 10... replkuggin and stuff doesnt work. as in "Android Phone" is showing in Eject, but nothing is showing in explorer
EDIT
-----------------------
I just re-installed android and now installed the liquid update.
NOW wifi turns on, but it just scans (has been scanning for 5 minutes)
my ipod touch sees the network immediately.

Hmm can you tell me wich kernel you are using? 2.6.32?
Did you use the guide on Atools to make your nbh files?

Gotta go take exam right now so I'll be looking for this afterwards.
And since it's 06:24 here in the morning, we have a bit of a time issue I think.

I actually dont know what version i have, but i got it from some post on this forum, and it was the latest, and i did use atools.
I found this post http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=3b250c94811ca5df&hl=en
I am trying to use a ad-hoc network too, and i dont have any other type of wifi to try.
thanks
good luck with the exams(s)
EDIT- i have 2.6.32.9

It could be that it's not possible to connect to an ad-hoc network, I've got no idea about that.
Hope someone else will post here and answer that.
U should really try connecting with a normal Wi-Fi network
Go onto the street and look for appartments or houses with open networks just to test?

i live in a small town..... no one here has internet let alone wifi....

aww that's balls
got no idea on how to try it then

-SOLVED!! [Q] Need Help, Where Do I Place Shuddown Sound I've Created For Animations?

Hi I've had no luck finding the specific file name, type and location I need for the shutdown sound to go with the shutdown animation I've been working on.
I know the shutdown animation on Desire HD is called "downanimation.zip" and it goes in the "/system/customize/resource" folder of the phone. I don't know a file name or type it uses as by default there is no sound.
I also know the startup sound is "android_audio.mp3" placed in the "/data/local" folder of the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'll be sure to post the finished product of the startup & shutdown aminations I've been working on in the Themes & Apps section for Desire HD on XDA.
---Update 19 Feb 2011--- SOLVED!!!
Yay I've finally figured this out!! Using a .mp3 for shutdown sounds now works! This may well be a first for Desire HD! Please follow this thread I made, just look at the top of the first post and the update explains it and has included files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935761

just a stab the dark ..... but have you tried adding a shutdown.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui/

Yes I've tried that and it does nothing.
I think I maybe getting closer though... I've found that the two .xml files located in "/system/customize/CID/" have info at the bottom of the xml file wich tells the Android system where to look to locate the boot animation, the shutdown animation and the startup sound as well as the frame rate to use for the shutdown animation. I've tried to edit this to include an audiio location for the shutdown but so far it hasn't worked. The frame rate change did work for my shutdown animation though. So I believe the code here is different than the one used in the .xml for the startup sound or maybe even the kernal won't work with it at all?!? I really don't know?!?
I'm now trying to find a custom ROM from another phone based on Android 2.2 that does use shutdown sounds and then I can see what it has in the "default.xml" file located in /system/customize/CID. If anyone knows a phone & ROM please let me know so I can use it to solve this. Thanks

Yes The Samsung phones are the only ones I've found so far with guides of where to put the shutdown animation sound. That's the folder mentioned above. It doesn't work on a Desire HD. I've downloaded 3 custom ROMs for the Samsung Facinate & Captive trying to find the similar .xml files that would give me the clue how to enter the write code for the system to use shutdown sounds on a Desire HD. I can't find the files in the Samsung ROMs
Lee the developer of LeeDrOiD custom ROMs said maybe it's not possible. Damn
Anyway I'll be posting the startup and shutdown animations I've been working on....

Done, Done and Done. Happy to finally get a shutdown MP3 file to work! Check the top of the page for the info and link.... all explained. Have fun!

[Q] how do I delete reboot tone

Since 1st time I rebooted my phone (even before I had my friend Root and flash Blazer 4.0,) my Samsung Epic 4G touch would play this Phone ring tone titled " minimal tone " that is a major annoyance and I cant find the file or source to delete or
change the settings. This occurs only when I reboot the phone. Btw- my actual phone ringtone is NOT set to this tone. I thought maybe a music player/media player was at fault. ( where I could delete the app ). And even after doing complete wipe prior to flashing Blazer 4.0, it still plays this tone. As i said, this tone existed prior to rooting or Flashing rom.
I thought there might be a way to extract and delete this file-
Please send me detailed info on how and where I can correct this. I even took phone to Sprint ( preroot/rom ) and they had no clues.. the tone will play for 3-5 minutes. please people- help me out.( I hope its not a defect,)

You need root access to remove the start up tone. I think all the ROMs for this phone have it removed by default though.

administrative access- tone file delete
phone is rooted- I just dont know how to find this particular file/tone and delete it and/or change settings

I believe its located in system/media/video/shutdown

File found
THANKS ! was under system/media/audio/ringtones/minimal tone and de-leted !!!,,, next- I will have to see if the system plays any other tone by some strange systematic replacement
or if it will simply be muted as desired. I searched in the great app ROM TOOLBOX,,root browser ( paid version ) and Voila !

anomoly continues
Need Expert assistance-
The tone itself was deleted- I rebooted phone 3-4 times since , changing boot animation and font change ( using rom toolbox )
but was shocked when on the 5th reboot the dreaded sound played !! but when I looked in the file of ringtones- its gone !
What the heck ?? please give ideas and help.

Boot sound (PowerOn&PowerOff.ogg)

Hi xda.
Just installed Malaysk rom the other day, but i got a little problem.
I want to make it possible to make my head unit do a boot sound (PowerOn.ogg).
I've been reading how to change this sound and it worked great on my phone (LG G2), but when I'm trying to do it on my head unit nothing have changed.. Just like stock, 1. Malaysk logo 2:Choosen animation (BMW).
I used Root Explorer, System-Media-Audio-Ui and pasted my custom PowerOn.ogg file. Just to mention, there was no PowerOn nor PowerOff files before. There is some other .ogg files but not these 2 files..
So my questions is= Is it possible to make it work? If yes, how?
Thank u very much for your help so far!

Anyone?
Noby can help with this or?

I'm trying to do the same thing. I was able to do it to my s6 but not for my in dash

Shouldn't it be possible, to set up a command with "Tasker"?
The command will execute on startup and play the sound file.
But I don't have an idea for playing a sound file when the device is shutting down...

It is a basic Tasker function. It would best for you to read/watch starting guides via Google. In my opinion, tasker would be too slow for an effective boot sound effect.

..
Well the tasker thing is not working.. I've been trying to play around with tasker, without success..
