Looking for a sound decibel meter for PPC - General Topics

Looking for a sound decibel meter for PPC
thanks!

Is that even possible?
I doubt it, how would it be callibrated?

I just need something that tells me what the decibel is?
can't we do that via the mic?
im using it for a project and def don't want to buy a machine that does it.
I don't need very accurate results.
thanks!

deciBel metering
Maybe something like this ?

Try this, but as mikechannon states accuracy could be a bit out due to varying device microphone hardware.
Worked for me OK, I was using it to measure exhaust noise on rally & track cars & was within 5 to 9 decibels accuracy with other meters.
Can run on WM2003SE/WM5 & WM6
Let me now if it works for you.
PS, read the notes file, the password for the Soundmeter.rar is; magic
I zipped the rar for upload compatibility

sound meter looks nice, but doesn't seem to work for my 8125
the dbs keeps staying at 0 and only moves when i press buttons, when on silent.
thanks

cheap DB meters are cheap(not to mention not very accurate)... im not sure where you are located but i believe scocshe (or something like that) makes one and it sells real cheap... like around $20 USD... but you cant have my audiocontrol

Sound level meter for WM 6.1 (HTC touch HD)?
Hi there,
I downloaded the program you mentioned but it did not work on my HTC touch HD, it said the program was not one it could handle. Doe anyone know a nice decibel meter and or analyser of sound which is compatible with HTC touch HD?
I am really looking for it!
Thanks !

does not work on the tilt tried both versions, i installed to the storage card hopefully that wont make a difference.

PocketRTA (commercial) might work on HD, didn't try it myself, but I used a demo on other HTC devices in the past.

it seems to work very well on my touch cruise (pocket RTA pro 1.3), i was also looking for this kind of app

anyone got anything to work on a htc touch dual?

Hi,
nice Tool, but iPhone/iPod only.
with friendly greet
starbase64

There was an okay tool over at PPCGeeks in their 6.1 kitchens.. I can't remember the name. I can't vouch for it's accuracy either but it did what I needed it for (told me if my music was aprox. too loud.) It was 80% translated from what I guess to be Farsi (all english save some of its popups.) Worked fine on WiMo 6.1 standard and pro.

Any new development for this?

Hi sounds like a fun idea, but why would anyone actually want one?
Especially why would anyone consider paying money for it?
You can only use it for a gimick and if it's giving accuracy to within 5-9dB as reported in the earlier posts that awful!
If you don't already know: 3dB is a doubling in sound pressure level!!! 9dB is the difference between one speaker and 3!
Looks fun though.

Prophet Sound boost?

Greetings to all friends on this site...I have a realy serious question...Prophet is my best phone I've ever had but with one mistake-it's too quiet when ringing...My cousin wich lives in Germany told me that he saw a program wich boosts ring volume...When I asked him if he could send me that program,he told me he doesn't have it yet...So if anyone can tell me something more about that program I would be graetfull...
PS:when I asked him how that is possible he told me that that program actualy can boost sound,but he have no idea how that is possible,he only saw it on friends O2 Xda...Thanks for any answers and wish you pleasent evening!
So...
Any Answers?
a cheeky fix
heloo!
I've never heard of that program i'm afraid! but.. if you have an mp3 ringtone, transfer it to your pc
open it in an audio editor and normalize it to 0db! you can get it louder again by compressing it.
if you need further instructions I'm happy to walk you through!
Good luck!
Thanks my brother...Well Actually I tried to edit in Nero waw editor but it won't save...Can yo tell me with what program can I boost MP3 and save it of course...Thank you very much for replying my post...
Alix, try MP3Gain -> http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/
Thanks for replying...I'll try this program...
It works perfectly,only sound quality decreases when boosting,but still better than before-At least I can hear better ringing...Thanks for the link...
there is someone in the forum , who had fitted 2 speakers into its o2 mini, which has the same speaker as prophet.
dual speakers on your prophet, sounds cool . . .

Is this true??
Well then I will give a try...
dual speakers done !
Yes, i have done it. dual speakers on prophet
here you go . ...
Suppose you can't post a tutorial on how you manage to do that and better pictures as that one is too blury....
Yes, never seen this before. Is there any other reference we can see? Perhaps from another HTC phone?
question for clickman
how did you connect the two speakers ?
impedence in series or in parallel ?
Thanks in advance
Cool!
First answer Tower5 question!, second tell, how?!, PLZ
tnx,
Its easy to do,
first need to make a hole in the blackcap ( to fit the speaker ).
second need to wire the wires from the second speaker on de same place as speaker one ( be creative ) but remember this wil void your warranty for speakers have a look @ ebay i just order 2 new one's en thursday i finally get my prophet back with a new motherboard god i love warranty
People you should try changing the registries,i had the same problem and i found the solution on the web.I just changed some registries and the sound really boosted.Search on the web for the tweak.

can you give us the txt how did you do that?
And how did you conected them? In series or paralel?
This enhances sound. I don't know if it increases sound priority or it is just some gain issue.
Cheers
Try this guys...
Use registry editor and go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring
and change the initvol value from whatever it is to 5 as show below.
It will work for sure.
InitVol=dword:5
You are welcome
P.S This is for ringtone volume to raise not for the 2 speakers thing...

Just got the S730

I just bought the HTC S730 today
Where is the s730 forum here?
I have tried like a crazy person to get the 'built-in' gps to work, but i cant even find one satellite :-( Perhaps they have disabled it in the Rom...
Cant wait to hear from other users who have bought the final version of this phone and if they can get the gps to work..
Could you upload your HTC Home screen? I think a lot of users (including me ) are waiting here for this. Would you be so kind please?

As soon as I have time we will research it. If the hardware is really built in we will get it going some time (it *will* take time tho)
Got my S730 a few days ago. Loving it so far, except...
Couldn't find any satellites with Google Maps so the GPS does indeed appear to be disabled in the final ROM. I hope someone finds a "fix" for this soon. ;-)
Also, I can't get BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.76 or 4.0.0.84 to connect RIM. My subscription is enabled (works fine on my BB Pearl) but I can't get a PIN on the S730. If anyone has managed to get this working, I'd love some help.
Cheers

I would be happy to. But i have no idea how to extract it from the phone?
Go to Application Data and the best is you copy the whole Home-Folder and upload it.
Here you go
Hope you can use it...
Can someone btw tell me how i can get more appointments to show in the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much! But not working on Vox, there are some missing files in system and plugin support.. I think the clsid is different from the Vox's one and it will be more difficult to make it work.. It only shows appointments I will do some researches
And your question - I tried to find it inside of xml, but not there.. HTC made a configurator to modify HTC home on PPC, so maybe for smartphones it also will appear.. I guess
GPS seems to be in HTC S730
I got my S730 today. Have tried with Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v2.0 and Chartcross GPS Test Version 1.04. Both programs finds 0-1 satelliets, not enough for positioning, but there seems to be a GPS. But whay can't it identify enough of satellites?

*If* the hardware is indeed enabled, you might want to extract drivers from a Kaiser rom. Whether the hardware is indeed present and enabled is hard to determine from the unclear statements in this thread...

Please explain how we can verify if the GPS hardware is present and enabled? I tested with Google Maps and adamwasta used a number of other tools, so what can we do to make it less unclear for you? Thanks.
HTC TYTN II ----or----- HTC s730
Can someone please help me decide between the HTC Tytn II OR the HTC S730? I am a heavy texter, sometimes check email, and want a fast phone. I'm worried that the HTC s730's keyboard is not comfortable -- can someone that uses it give me a heads up on how comfortable/good it is? Is the WM Smartphone's UI annoying? - i've been using pocket pc for a long time & I just want to know if its difficult to switch to a standard smartphone like the HTC s730? Thanks in advance for your feedback & comments - they are all much appreciated
Hmmm i havent tried yhe Tytn so i cant compare the two phones. But i had a Touch before i bought my S730 and i must that it was a step in the right direction text-typing-wise... The s730 is not as good to type on as an Nokia Communicator (imo the best phone for typing), but it's pretty good. And its great to have two options for typing : numeric with T9 and the qwerty inside...
About the smartphone ui....Grrrrrr it is a little bit annoying.. I hate that the settings are so locked. You have far few options in the settings compared to the PPC interface. But then on the other hand there are some features that works better on the smartphone than on the PDA.
All in all i am a very happy little piggy with my S730. I would not trade it for any other phone on the market.

I am also pretty happy with the S730... i used to have a vox and a wizard i must say I keep going to press the screen on the s730 because i was used to ppc but im sure it wont take long for me to get used to it..
one thing battery for me at least seems to be an issue.. fully charged at 7am this morning I had 1 bar left by 11am... Martin is your battery life the same?
the keyboard on the s730 is excellent very good i am already beginning to become a gun on it.. as for the kaiser my friend has one they are way too big for me i guess you need to ask yourself do you want a phone with pda features or a pda with phone features?
Brisbane_guy : I have not expirenced such lousy battery time as you describe. My battery last for about 2 days and i dont turn it off at night. So about 48 hours. But i have disabled BT and WIFI most of the time...
Many thanks Martin & Brisbane for your feedback I'm going to buy the s730 based on your positive feedback

You really should consider the Asus P750. It's only 130g, has 3g, gps (sirf3), wlan, bt2.0, touchscreen, WM6 Prof, 520MHz ARM, 256MB flash and 64MB ram.
On Modaco someone called it the kaiser killer.

GPS on Raphael

Tested it out today, counted from when I opened OCN8 and it took exactly 30 seconds to get a fix. Perfectly acceptable if you ask me, especially seeing as I'll only use it for long drives.
great to know man
Thx for sharing

With A-GPS, I don't think you can turn it off.
Only one GPS setting: Enable AGPS: Checkbox.
No, I haven't done any button mapping to the other person who asked.
Is the device as fast as shown in unwired videos?

Yep, 26 seconds for me using Garmin.
And yes, mine is as fast as the videos. Definitely an improvement over the Diamond, despite the Diamond's speed improvements with recent cooked ROM's.
Amazing what a bit of extra RAM will do...
Great, thanks for the info
Since you're using Garmin
I've always found it's notifications to be quite lower than other GPS s/w even when placing an attention tone prior
Is it any louder on the Raph speakers in comparison with Kaiser?

Make sure to download QuickGPS before you use those programs, that may be your issue.

Are you outside or inside some building?
GPS works fine for me in both Google Maps and TomTom Navigator. Indoors is not so great, but whilst in a car it was fine all the way home on a 30 minute journey!

I'm in my house, my Kaiser right next to it is working fine.
GPS isn't supposed to work indoors... If you need it indoors, you may also need to be living in a psychiatric ward. :\
I got full signal in front of my house according to OCN8's little GPS status bar, for those who care.
As mentioned earlier, QuickGPS will help (hopefully as it has been useless for me since Kaiser WM6.1 ROMs started to be cooked)
BUT
You need to give it time first to aquire GPS fix alone THEN go back to your PC to download the QuickGPS data
To make sure you have everything afterwards successful,
reboot your PDA and see if you can aquire a faster fix.
You can test with GPSTest attached here.
If it didn't solve your problem, check with other fellow Raph holder their Radio versions and yours.
If you are to flash, do not forget to HardSPL your device.
Good luck and give us more feedback

@fireblade63
I'd say the notification volume in Garmin is about the same as it is in the Kaiser, so I agree - it's certainly not the loudest, but I'm someone who likes the Sat-Nav turned down a bit anyway. I hate having the things shouting at me, especially if there are other people in the car who I'm trying to talk to.
My father-in-law, on the other hand, could never cope with the Garmin / Raphael combination because he turns his TomTom XL up to full volume, which drives me mental on the odd occasion I have to experience it!
So, no, the Raphael is no louder as far as I can tell.

[Q] HTC TOUCH 2 Sensitivity

Are There any '.cab' or Registry Edits that can help increase the sensitivity on my HTC Touch 2.
Many Thanks.
I have noticed that the HTC Touch 2 works much faster if the nail is used , but i guess that this is because it is more like a stylus , but as i really don't have the time to be taking out my stylus every-time i want to use my phone i would like to know if there is any other ways around it.

Don't really think it will work. Sensitivity is influenced by the OS AND (!) the screen's abilities. I think that you can't really increase it. I can't say for sure though, I'll ask my dad for his Touch2 to try it out some time later.

This really works. My Touch2 is now a lot more sensitive and is much easier to use. I recommend every one who uses a touch2, as the touchscreen sensitivity is very bad, to download and install this. It works perfectly. Before whenever I recieved a call, and attempted to answer it, clicking the answer button, it would never answer and it end-call. NOW IT WORKS PERFCTLY.
Thanks , it s really work
Thanks
its really works on HTC Touch VIVA
Hello!

that's all ****e anyway, never worked for me.
i cant figure out how can those work when the speakers were made to give sound from 18-20hz to 20 000 hz? thats how much a human can hear, and if the frequency is higher, the speaker will not produce as it doesnt support it?
I do not know what you trouble, but it works on my htc magician
