Up the Phone's Volume, HOW??? - Palm Treo 750

I am having a problem with the volume on my Treo 750. I would like to make the volume louder when I am on a call but I have the volume control at the max setting. I came across this link for the older treos: http://mytreo.net/store/product.php?xProd=165
Seems that there has to be a registry key that will "UP" the volume output from it's "stock" settings. Can anyone point me to the Registry key that I could tweak to do this? I just need to make the phone's earpiece louder so I can easier hear the other party while on the phone.
Thanks!!!

wow that's funny cause I just wanted to create a new topic with the subject "how to decrease the overall volume when on call"
with all the Treos 750 (I had 3) the volume was actually too loud when set on the lowest level.
So when somebody is speaking quite loud, it isn't so convenient, it's too loud.
But anyway - Hello Folks, does anybody know a reg-entry how to play with the volume when on a call?

this is what i did, it increased all my sounds
HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\incall Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1
note i did this to all the categories

thanks man!
you mean that reducing the value in registry results into increasing the volume? so in my case, I like to reduce the volume, I should incrase the value?

Thanks for the info, Mine was set to 2 when I opened the key. I changed them to 4, made a call, could not really tell a difference. Then changed to "1", made a call, I think it may be a little louder. Or it may be wishful thinking. I will leave this setting at 1 as I will be on the road tomorrow and make a few calls to see.
I changed both keys Attenuation as well as InitVol. They have beside them "(0x4)". Is this the possible value ranges available for that key? So if I am on 1 now, I could go to "0" which would be the max?
Thanks!!!

Nope. Does nothing.
Anyone else???

Did you Soft-Reset the phone after changing? That's what you have to do after every registry change I read somewhere.

Soft reset after every change. No change in phone's volume.

new to all this
hey guys im new to all this so whats are the steps, how do it get to the "HKCU" , actually what is the "HKCU" and where do find it ?
HKCU\Control Pannel\SoundCategories\incall Then change the value of AttenuationCategory from 4 to 1

Hello Pluto,
the easiest way ist to install Total Commander Pocket and then to browse through the registry.
Get TotalCMD here:

Mine was set at 2 also. I think it is louder now but I am inside and that is a worthless test. I will have to test it tomorrow when I am outside.
Thanks for the help.

is there any Free Volume care?[

what is this reg hack for louder ringtone? ..and how does this not damage the speakers

Thats my reghack (well, I found it in a thread here but have adjusted the value down from what was posted here in other threads):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=dword:00000077
I personally have used this for a couple of months. I keep my ringtone setting (with this tweak) at the mid point level and its a little louder than my phone used to be on a stock rom with it turned all the way up. I only turn it higher than that if I'm going to be outside or in a somewhat noisy setting. I just like the fact this gives me the option for a LOUD ringtone when I want it.
Default setting is 6D I believe. The thread I found this in was setting it to 7D. I played around with from 70 to 7D and settled on 77. For my phone, it gives me a loud ringtone that doesn't sound distorted (like 7D did) and was loud enough for me.
As for ruining your speakers... Who knows. IF you run with it cranked to the top all the time, it may just do that. Like I said, I only run with my phone at half volume and it works fine for me. (Its funny, since doing this, even at half volume, my kids will jump when the ringtone goes off as it is definetly louder ). If I'm in a quiet place, I'll turn it down to just 1 click before off or 2 clicks for a "normal" volume ringtone.
wonder how that will work with the new photo contacts 5 because PC5 seems to love over running system settings for sound

Why don't you guys use the slider for louder ringtones ?
It's easyer ...when you're in a noisy place, move it up, when home or other place, just lower the slider....that easy.

What do you mean? On my personal phone on a stock default rom, if I set the ringtone to max, its not loud enough for me (Guess I'm older and past rock concerts have finally taken a toll on my hearing ;-). So I use this reg hack to have it so that the ringtone is louder, but yes I use the slider to adjust how loud overall it will be. I'll set it to about the mid point in most cases, then adjust it up and down if its a quiet room or a noisy one. But I find the default settings not loud enough on my 8125. Maybe other Wizards have a better volume, but everyone at my office with an 8125 has implemented this reghack as they all hate the default volume level, and this fixes that.
what is the reg hack that you use again?

You know that when idle, if you press the volume boubble, the slider under the phone actually controlls loudness of the ringtone and if you access it from within a call or from the call menu, it controlls the in call loudness (that's the one that doesn't work actually)
Hope it helps .

Yes, I know how the volume slider works, and what each of the different volume controls do. I think people are missing the point and seem to assume I don't know what ringtone volume is. I've explained myself twice in this thread. If you don't like or want the tweak then don't use it. Its something I like and I use. ANTC picked it up from me when he asked for the tweaks I put it in Crossbow Reloaded. I won't comment on this anymore as its dragging this thread off topic, and I've made my points for why I use it (whether people think I know how to use the controls or not). My last comment is, that maybe your phone ringtone volumes are louder, but on the 8125, I don't think they are very loud even with the ringtone (and all other volumes sliders) turned full blast. YMMV

I didn't meant to offend you . Sorry if you felt that way. I said it because my Wiza sounds horibly loud when setting that slider to the top. Stereospeakers or not, the sound doesn't compare to the SonyEricsson W series, actually is awfull in my opinion. But one thing you're right and this is offtopic. so
Sorry ANTC

Registry help needed please- SPEAKER VOLUME

I have used the tweaks found in the Wiz/Wiz section (and subscribed to a thread without much response http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256734 ), as well as other WM6 device tweaks and ones found by googling...my issue is, and no one seems to know what/how...
My internal speaker, the mono speaker used for phone calls, is very low. The tweaks I applied have made the speakerphone louder, and my BT earpiece louder, but if I am in my house, and get a call, I usually dont use BT or speakerphone. I sound like a reverse Verizon commercial...instead of "can you hear me" it is "I can't hear you".
I have used the audiogain tweaks (also known as audiogain cc), and also HKCU\Control Panel tweaks. I have reset my device. My physical settings are cranked all the way up (slider, and volume icon).
Does ANYONE know what reg entry specifically targets the internal single (top of device between flashing lights) speaker to increase in-call volume??
I dont mind being a guinea pig, so if you have any ideas about this issue, I'd sure love to hear from you and try them out.
As always, thanks in advance!
***PS- am using AMPv2 rom with radio 2.37 IPL/SPL 2.26 (if this helps at all)
BUMP
Does anyone have any idea which reg entry may specifically target the single internal speaker? Please and Thank You.
wish I did. that would be the first thing I would fix. try apache forum as well. it is basicaly the same hardware, But I remember that a lot of verizon users traded their's in innitialy, because they could not hear anything.
hERE ARE MY RELATIVE REG SETTINGS FOR YOU TO COMPARE`
HKLM/Software/Audiogain
EAC_GAIN_EMBEDED (mine is set to: 6d)
HEADSET 67
EARPHNE_UPLINK VOL 19
HEADSET_UPLINK VOL 13
RECIEVE_UPLINK VOL 18
SPEAKER UPLINK VOL 10
HKCU/CONTROLPANEL/PHONE
VOL 0X0000FFFF(65535)
You may also want to look at these:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Loudest InCallVolume
InitVol 0x00000001(1)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume
Here are my settings:
Key 0x00010000(65536)
Mute 0x00000003(3)
Ringer 0xfffffff(-1)
Screen 0x00010000(65536
Volume 0xffffffff(-1)
I believe you will have better luck adjusting the volume in HKCU rather than HKLM.
I hope this helps you figure out this problem. I know many of us suffer. Somehow mine is either ok, or I'm just used to it.
Mahalo!!
Thanks for your response. I have played with many of those areas, but perhaps I haven't figured out the right tweaking level yet, so I will go back to those regs and play some more. I will check the Apache section out, perhaps I could gain more insight there. I'll say this...if I finally find the right settings, I should win a front row seat to see Barry Manilow in concert--make my hard work pay off (yes you read correctly, I love Barry!)
I will certainly post any findings. This is a real pain in the ass. I love my wizard, but the speaker issue is frustrating.
Thanks again for your insight.
**EDIT**
HKLM/Control Panel/Volume AND HKLM/Drivers/Speaker both potentially affect volume (I think), but in my rom, there is no settings. I am not sure if the no settings IS the default settings, and am not sure if I can futz with these?? Does anyone have an idea if it is safe to attempt tweaks in these 2 areas??
it is safe if you back up your reg (original)
these settings are in my 588 (which I haven't posted yet) which I will post when it is ready. it is currently being simmered like a stew.
PS. when I was tweaking the camera graphics, I noticed a lot of functions that are not in the registry. about 1/3 of the icons do not show up under any circunstance. which leads me to believe that the program is capable of more than the inhibited registry.
so perhaps I will export my reg for you to try. unfortuantely, I can't post them using opera mini
How about this one,
HKCURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall \Attenuat ionCategory = 0
The setting was on "2", changed it to "0"

What did you find when making that change? everything I have read claims it only affects the incall beeps when raising the volume slider, so I haven't really bothered with it...but I have been toying with the possibility, just for sh*ts and giggles, because at this point I have pretty much exhausted the reg entries I can think of.
Thank you for your response. Every little bit helps, and keeps me from just randomly choosing a number out of my ass to change the reg entry to!
Did you try it? It should work. It will "increase in-call volume??" You will not crash your device for trying it.
I noticed only a slight volume increase using the attenuation fix. My speakerphone sounds great though. I may just have to save my pennies and get the speaker replaced==maybe it just gave up the ghost, because none of these reg entries is giving me the volume I need.
Any other suggestions, tips, insight, etc would be appreciated.
BUMP
Still seeking some insight. Apparently the repair shop locally wants to charge LOTS of money for the speaker. The speaker worked fine prior to installing the AMP rom. I like the features of the rom so don't want to swap if I don't have to, but I REALLY do need to fix this speaker volume issue.
Can anyone provide me further assistance/suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
while your at it does anyone know what reg entries are for upping the mic evel to make it more sensitive?
I know mine increased when I tweaked something in the 4 audiogain files...but I don't remember which ones I tweaked. Look through the thread I linked in my first posting it should help.
This is my solution , and on all versions and over 30 devices tested by me.

Low sound of the calls.

Hello i got my PPC from 2 days. Its a copy of HTC 3G T3232 , but when im making a call i hear the other guy low. I meen the volume is low. And the other thing is that he can hear hes voice too but with some delay. I think this isnt normal and now i want to find if its from the phone. And are there any tips for increasing the volume of the call? I think there should be some regg tweak's for this, and for the other problem im not so sure. So can anybody give me a hint and a good regg editor or tell me how to edit them. After all im new to win mobile and this isnt like a standart windows run>regedit
Welcome to the forum
Do a search for an app called SRS Wow it increases the general volume
Good luck,
ADJUSTING/INCREASING RING VOLUME
1. Advanced - Registry Edits
a. Get out your favourite registry editor.
b. Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
c. Change InitVol DWORD to 5 or higher. THIS ONLY INCREASES RINGTONE VOLUME
Alternatively if you want to increase the INCALL volume you just need to do the following:
b. Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall
c. Change InitVol DWORD to 5 or higher.
WARNING: Don't change anything you aren't sure about.. if you really want to change it then BACK IT UP FIRST! >_<
2. Use the SRSWOW Driver.
Install the SRSWOW_HD Driver for your PDA and increase sliders until you're content. (usually 3D and Focus increase the volume). BTW i attached the SRSWOW_HD Driver..
PS: I take no responsibility for any damage you do to your device.
PPS: If you have any further questions about this or the Atom Life.. PM me.
Cuz of SRS wow i have done a hard reset, cuz of the program my tuch screen wasnt working. Btw some1 know something about the echo, i meen when i talk with other ppl they can hear their voiceses too..

[Q] Adding More Volume Levels

By now, there MUST be a way... I have searched and searched, ultimately concluding that either it isn't possible or hasn't been shared, so here goes:
I want to see if it is possible to make all volume controls in Android have about 20-30 levels. There simply has to be a way. Anyone keen enough to see if there may be a way to change the volume -/+ levels?
Sorry, I am not interested in any other apps nor having to open up a volume slider to get better control: The hardware buttons are there for a reason.
Google: 7 volume levels is simply retarded. When devices are now being used to listen to music, watch movies, YouTube, Netflix, etc. how can you suppose that only 7 levels of volume would do the trick?
Found one!
OK - So I found a variable in the build.prop file called
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps
which allows you to change the number of steps for the in-call volume slider. Now all I need to do is test out a bunch of other possible variations to see if I can achieve the same effect with the rest of the sliders. By default, my OG Droid is set to 7. I upped it to 20 and am amazed at the amount of control I have over the in-call volume at this point. I think, if I can, I will do this with all of the volume sliders!
I will keep you all updated if I find anything.

This sounds (no pun intended) interesting, by any chance is the in call volume louder? I would love to get my ear to hurt when on the phone. Then as least I can back down the volume. Right now I strain to here on my HTC DZ aka HTC Vision.

I will have to test that. I am not sure whether or not this actually makes anything louder. I'll let you know in a day or so after I bounce the settings back and forth a couple times.

Speakers too loud - when set to lowest level

The speakers on my OP7pro are too loud. Well, I hear you say: who cares. But whatever I watch: Youtube, MP4 movies, WhatsApp funny vids, listen to music via loudspeakers:
when set to the lowest level-indicator it is still at least 3 to 4 times louder then on my OP5. It's very disturbing, because sometimes you just want some privacy which I can't have.
Is there anyone who has a tip or trick to set the LOW level LOWER?
Are you rooted? If so, enable (way) more volume steps in build.prop and see if lowest is low enough :good:

Easiest, imho, is downloading this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
Open it, press the pencil icon at the top right, scroll all the way down and add these lines:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=12
ro.config.media_vol_steps=12
I use 12 (as I completely dislike pressing numerous times to adjust volume to my liking) but you must enter something higher I presume
Save the changes, reboot. If still too loud at the lowest possible step then the minimal volume apparently is set too high on a hardware level
Download viper.
Install viper.
Configure the equalizer for the speaker and set all the lines of the equalizer to - 6db, that's what I did.
