Windows Mobile 5 - Ringing Delay Patch
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This CAB File will correct the very annoying, but very common problem of the 3 second Ringing Delay for Windows Mobile Phones.
Now updated to use NORMAL, LOUDER, and INSANELY LOUD source WAV files to make sure you hear the RINGS !!!
Now updated to force the Ring Volume to the Maximum Level (needs additional manual help) !!!
You will now have your phone RING just after or maybe even WITHIN THE FIRST RING the caller hears, and with some help from you, the Ring Volume will be as LOUD as POSSIBLE for your device.
There is only ONE caveat in using this CAB file and your phone ...
In order to benefit from the (nearly) instant ringing time, you will NEED to convert ANY and ALL Ringtones you want to use into WAV format. Using ANY other format will re-introduce the 3 second/rings delay.
This CAB contains the default Rings converted to WAV files, and 'corrects' a number of registry entries so that these rings are directly available.
By default, your default Ring will be changed to "OldPhone". Test it first using this setting, and then feel free to change it to any other WAV file.
NOTE: There are TWO versions of the CAB file I've created:
1). Contains only the required registry changes for WAV playback improvements, and leaves the device power management intact. [ WM5_RingDelay_Patch.cab ]
2). Contains additional Power Management entries to keep the WAV device in a low-power, but not 'disabled' state for fast wakeup. This may use more battery power, but will ensure fast playback. [ WM5_RingDelay_Patch_PM.cab ]
This CAB WILL now work for people having problems on all WM5 devices "out of the box", and you can OPTIONALLY change your volumes to maximum yourself.
(Blue Angel, Universal, Wizard, Exec, Atom, etc.)
NOTE: You will NEED to soft-reset your device in order for the registry changes to take effect!
Remember ... you MUST use a WAV file as your Ringtone!

How to set your device to have the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM Ring Tone Volume !!!
I have (now) learned the HARD WAY, that there are an infinite number of ways even the same manufacturer like HTC can make every single phone different. This is especially true even if on all the HTC phones I own, the settings are all identical, other models WILL be different!
This revised post is now my way of apologising for the problematic release of the previous patch, and to provide even more benefit to all devices. I'm very sorry for anyone who has Hard-Reset their device in the meantime to recover from this. Here is the FIX!
To set the audio layer to the loudest possible value for Rings (and/or to fix things from the earlier CABs I released), you will need to MANUALLY set the Attenuation preset to the one which has the LOUDEST possible volume setting on your phone. To determine this, you will need to search through the Registry and find the appropriate preset corresponding to the Attenuation category, and then you will need to set some registry entries appropriately.
I had forced the AttenuationCategory to what I thought was the correct value, but this appears to cause problems on other devices. So sorry!!!
*** When you've found out all the details, please POST your findings along with your device make/model in the forum for others to use.
STEP 1:
First you will need to go to the following key in the Registry:
(NOTE: The actual value in the key may be different depending on your model.)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:10
Remember the value you have in this key ... But DO NOT CHANGE IT!!!
You will then see a number of entries following, which have "AUDIOGAIN0", "AUDIOGAIN1", "AUDIOGAIN2", etc.
You now need to find the ""AUDIOGAIN#" which has the HIGHEST or a DIFFERENT value for "SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME".
This is a BINARY value, so I can only presume it is for bit-setting of amplifier gains within the device.
*** For my Blue Angel this value is located in the subkey "AUDIOGAIN2".
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN2]
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:19
Now, this may (or will) be different and probably different hardware so these keys may or may not exist.
DON'T WORRY - We still can FIX everything even without this information!
If you do have the time, please find the corresponding reference elements for your device, and post the information here for everyone.
STEP 2:
Now you need to go to the corresponding USER level Attenuation setting, and change that one appropriately to maximum!
In my example case above - this would require me to first use setting "2" for Maximum Volume (i.e. the Ringer).
Also, now that I know Attenuation setting #2 is the loudest, I will change this to be the maximum volume of "5".
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
Here is where you can CHANGE things, even if you DON'T know the right Attenuation setting to modify from the above information.
If you change them ALL to the maximum value of "5", you have just increased the gain levels for ALL possible settings (Ring, Phone, InCall, Notify, etc.). This will only result in larger steps in your volume when you change it. (i.e. a HIGHER Maximum Volume - but still only 5 steps, and MUTE).
Now also, remember how MANY Attenuation Categories you have ... this is useful if you have to 'GUESS' which one to use for the next step.
STEP 3:
Go into the Sound Category which you want to modify. In our case with Ring Tones, these two entries are aptly named:
For the Ring:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
For the Ring Preview:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
There are various other entries available for "Feedback", "InCall", and also "VoiceCommand1" (*** Yes you can make EVERYTHING LOUD!)
The entries you will need to modify are "AttenuationCategory" and "InitVol".
Always set "InitVol" to be 5 (maximum), and set "AttenuationCategory" to be the value you determined above.
In case you DON'T know the value from the above, you will need to try them all. My GUT feeling is that the HIGHEST "AttenuationCategory" will be the loudest. Most people when specifying things in hardware will probably do it that way, but you should probably try them all to find the best one.
The good news is that a soft-reset is NOT required to go through and test them all. Simply change the setting, wait a moment, and call your phone. You will then hear the volume level of the ring appropriately. Go through them all and find the LOUDEST one to use. That's your "AttenuationCategory" number.
NOTE: By default the "RingPreview" is using a STANDARD "AttenuationCategory", not the RINGER "AttenuationCategory". You can change this to your liking as well, and you can change any and ALL of your other "AttenuationCategory" and "InitVol" settings too.
If you want to have the LOUDEST possible volume ranges for EVERY possible element of your phone, set all "AttenuationCategory" values to be the one you determined is the loudest for the Ringing, set all "InitVol" values to be "5", and set all "Attenuation" entries to be "5".
STEP 4:
Pat yourself on the back for having the LOUDEST phone out there.
__________________________________________________________________________________
For Blue Angel:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
For Himalaya:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
"3"=dword:1
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
These were the same on BOTH of my devices, so I presumed they would be identical for all other devices. This is definitely NOT the case as we have determined. Again, my apologies to those early "beta" testers, but you can fix it now!!!
Please post your findings and results here for EVERYONE to benefit from them.

The patch can be applied to this ROM too, which will patch ALL of the default rings to LOUDER ones.
Also, the same procedure can be used to raise any and all of the volumes to the maximum possible.
Great !!
It works fine,but the sound volume is very weak.
How to increase the volume.??
Edit After installing version1.2 cab it absolutely works fine,Thanks.

Please try downloading the updated version. I've made the source WAV files louder (really to maximum). While my WMA to WAV conversion was probably adequate, I've now compressed/limited the WAVs for maximum output level and replaced them in the CABs.
Also, please ensure that the output volumes are at maximum. These updated WAVs should be loud enough, but if not then there is another problem with output volume which needs to be found.
Fix one thing ... but somehow there is always another issue ... *sigh* :roll:
Good news.
I've just taken the cab and now I try this trick
Is this cab working with Wav files only ?
No WMA ?
Thanks to all :wink:
Make the loudest possible WAV files ...
BTW: For your Ringtone ... ensure that it is FIRST amplified to the MAXIMUM volume possible.
Use Audacity (or similar), and then amplify the volume, and preferably do some soft limiting/compression on it to make it as loud as possible.
Then convert it to MONO, 16Bit, and if possible reduce the sampling rate to 11050Hz (11kHz).
While the quality will SUCK for listening ... as a LOUD volume Ringtone, it really doesn't matter that much when it's ringing in your pocket. 8)
How to get Louder than LOUD Ringtones ...
[Post deleted since it was TOTAL mis-information and absolute bull$hit]
There is NO "InitVol" setting which can go above the maximum of 5.
Don't even bother trying to say otherwise. It's an "Urban Legend".
Re: How to get Louder than LOUD Ringtones ...
Tuatara said:
Ok, since there are some of you who have some QUIET RING volume problems with the CAB file, here is a way to get LOUDER than LOUD ring tones. This will hopefully solve your problems, but will require Registry Editing to achieve.
Code:
Update the following registry entries to set the Volume higher than it is possible by default:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Notification]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\System]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
Generally you'd only want to modify "Ring" and possibly "RingPreview". Those are the ONLY two keys modified by the CAB, so you can compare the other key values to what they need to be on your phone.
Let me know if this has any success for those of you with quiet rings. It's possible that the Andes has different volume settings or issues.
The default maximum (generally allowable) value of "5" works perfectly on my Himalaya, and on the Blue Angel. It should be the same for all other devices, but then again ... M$ and OEMs in their infinite wisdom ...

Does not work upgraded the Cab file Cheers, Taurus
Dear Tuatara,
It works fine, my XdaII rings just after or even WITHIN THE FIRST RING the caller hears as you said.
But the volume still too low,I change the registries as you wrote,not work.I also use Nero wave editor to increase it volume but the file is very big and quality is very poor.
Hard resetting 2 times today to gain the volume and use old wma.
Can you edit to use old wma or mp3 as ringtone? I think the quality of old wma is better.
Regards,
vivi
Edit After installing version1.2 cab it absolutely works fine,Thanks.
Quiert Ring tone
Well I installed the 2nd version of the file. Yeah it rang almost right away, however it was sooooooo quiet it was useless. So I just uninstalled the file and went back to the standays one. Ide rather wait 2 secconds and be able to hear it, then have it right right away and not hear it !!.
LOW VOLUME RING TONE
AHHGGGG, I have totaly uninstalled the 3 seccond ring tone fix but my phone still has a realy poor low volume ring tone now. What do i do to get it loaud again. I dont have any way to change the registry files, so I cant do that !!. What do i do ???
Thankyou
Rob
LOW RINGING VOLUME
AHHGGGG, I have totaly uninstalled the 3 seccond ring tone fix but my phone still has a realy poor low volume ring tone now. What do i do to get it loaud again. I dont have any way to change the registry files, so I cant do that !!. What do i do ???
Thankyou
Rob
VOLUME LEVEL FIX IS AVAILABLE !!!
My apologies for this ...
I have NOW updated the FIRST post with all of the details for correcting and resetting the volume level on your phone.
It does mean some MANUAL registry editing, but once you've completed that you can have the LOUDEST Ring and Phone possible.
Again ... sorry for the problems, but that's what BETA testing is all about.
For those who don't have it ... here's the PHM Registry Editor ...
Good Luck!
Dear Tuatara,
Both cab can't be instaledl in my device.

ARRRGH! (damn, damn, damn, damn ... grrrr)
Right ... dumb, stupid mistake when assembling the CAB files for final versions. I've just had far too little sleep in the past few days.
I've uploaded NEW versions, and reset the download counters in the FIRST post again. This time, I've tested the final ones, and they are working.
PLEASE let me know if you've been able to reset your Ring Volume appropriately with the intructions in the post above. PM me if you have problems with it, since I don't want to cause people to Hard-Reset to try and recover from this - it is a very simple registry fix.
GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!

No Registries edit,just only install new version WM5_RingDelay_Patch_PM.cab and Soft Restet.

Right ... *whew*wipes*brow* ... that is GREAT news. This means that the CAB will now work for everyone WITHOUT any registry changes!!!
If you DO want your device to have a Ring Tone which is as LOUD as possible (or if you need to fix things from my previous 'bad' CAB), then you OPTIONALLY can set up your device to have the loudest settings possible. This would effectively make the loudest volume on your device the same maximum volume used for "Handsfree" operation.
At least now the 3 ring delay on WM5 devices can be properly eliminated!
But remember ... use only WAV files ... so convert those Ring Tones!
For your conversions, you CAN use any MONO, 16 bit WAV file from 8kHz to 48kHz sampling rate. Obviously, the smaller it is, the better the performance (has to load less data from your device/storage), so choose the lowest sampling rate which gives you a good sounding Ring Tone.
Another good thing to do is maximize the volume of the converted WAV file, and possibly use a Compressor/Limiter on it to further increase the output levels. A very good tool to use for this is COOL EDIT PRO, or for a freeware one, use AUDACITY. Both have the ability to make the Ring Tone as loud as possible without (much) distortion. This is what I have done to the default Ring Tones I included in the CAB, which should be VERY loud, and are also quite reasonably small.
Enjoy your responsive devices now ... no excuses anymore to miss those calls!

Maybe I've made the volumes in the WAV files 'too loud'!
But it's probably better having it 'too loud' than 'too quiet' ... I really have gone from one extreme to the other now.
Anyways, I'd recommend to just turn down your 'Ring Volume' if it is too loud for you now. :!:
Some mp3 can ring immediately,some are 3 sec delay.
I think the size of file is the main problem.
I use 300 KB mp3,it rings immediately,but 600 KB mp3 delay.
I test while power off and mp3 ringtones are in root of RAMdisk.
This is only for info.

Click to expand...

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.

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
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.

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.
Hi Guys,
I find the volume is too soft when the phone is switched to a speaker mode. Anyone knows how to change it ? the System and Ring volume bar is already at max.
I used to owe an Omnia...but sold it off because i hate the touch keypad.
Omnia has this code *#0002*28346# that can change all the speaker, earpieces and ring tones.
Does TP has similar code ?
Look for solutions...thanks

I think there is no resolution for low speaker/headphone voice level yet...
yeah no solution as yet...
The sound volume is also a bit lower,that I am using normally(another HTC devices descibed below). I was all the time very happy with HTC's loudness,but Raphael is really too silent. Only one solution now I see,turn on speakerphone mode and turn the device around.with the display outside. So you can call also in discobar.
Sad..Sad...

yes guys it would be realy great if some one would find it out how to increase the sound from the TP i ghat mine today its a greath ppc but the sound its not so good its realy wery poor :S one mine htc tytn 2 its perfect
pls guys help uss by that problem
Guys there is a way to edit the registry on a touch pro to make the volume louder, I had it on my old touch pro, but I just had to get a new one from the insurance company. As soon as I find it I will post it here
I just got my Fuze a couple of days ago, and noticed how much lower than my tilt the speaker volume was. I was ok with it, but is nice to hear someone has a reg hack for bringing the volume up on it. I'll be waiting for this post!
HKLM/Control Panel/Volume AND HKLM/Drivers/Speaker both potentially affect volume
or try this cab, it should work, havent tested it tho
On GSM devices, there is a set of AudioPara*.csv files which are normally found in the kitchen OEMDrivers folder - the contents end up in the .\Windows folder as hidden files). Use the device File Explorer (show hidden/system files) to confirm that AudioPara*.csv files exist on your CDMA device.
1) If they do exist, search the XDA forum using these keywords:
Arup Audio Boost CAB
2) If they do not exist, a CDMA chef may be able to offer some insights on how volume levels are handled for CMDA devices ... afaik, should be the same.
Using a registry editor, search for the .CSV file(s), it will yield the registry key that may need to be changed if you wish to point to a different .CSV filename in case you wish to return to the default file without resetting your device. In all cases, be cautious, tweaking the AudioPara to extreme ranges can damage the device or your hearing.
HTH,
I have spent the last couple of days searching the net trying to find an answer and have come up empty handed. For starters I'm running the Verizon Touch Pro 2. The issue I can't seem to figure out is why does an MP3 file play nice and loud when playing through Windows Media on the phone (maintains constant volume) but when I set it as the ringtone the volume starts off normal but then decreases quite a bit? I have tried this with several MP3s and they all seem to do the same thing.
Going nuts with this.......
Thanks much for any help, input or direction.
Edit: and for the record, yes, I did try both registry tweaking and using the updated AudioPara3.csv with no difference.

There is a setting called "Be Polite" or something along those lines, it reduces the volume as soon as the accelerometer senses that you have picked up (physically) the phone - I bet that is causing your problem. There is a CAB to disable it in the MightyROM thread on PPCGeeks Here - I am not sure if this will work on the stock Rom or not, but it is worth a try. You may also be able to disable it in settings somewhere, but I am not sure where.
Hope this helps,
Patrick
Thanks much...I greatly appreciate the reply. I'll give it some research. Only issue I can think of is when I'm playing these MP3 files, both in WM and as a ringtone preview, the phone is lying flat on a surface and not being moved at all.
Guess we'll see.....
