I am using Radio 1.65.20.29 with L26 Kaiser Diamond v3 (I probably should upgrade to v6 soon, but all of the roms are just excellent)...my problem is not with battery life or gps or anything like that...all of that is fantastic. My problem is that the phone volume is just too low...even at max volume.
I went to another kaiser radio thread...but it was dead apparently -_- (I didn't even see that part)? Because even though I do love the battery life, I can't deal with such a quiet phone.
Are there comparisons of roms by volume, instead of battery life, etc.,? Or is there a .cab to boost volume?
im pretty sure you can set the volume higher with shaps advanced config
sorry i checked and no dice but i know theres a reg edit for the max volume give that a search
I don't see anything for incall incoming volume. There's changes for bluetooth, outgoing, speakerphone, etc.,
the reg edit doesn't actually do anything, if you click the volume low on your phone and then reg edit it to be higher, the next time you look at the volume it will be higher, there is a max value of 5(set it from 0-5) and other than that it doesn't actually do anything. i also have been looking for a way to make the phone louder so if you happen to fiind one post the results. in the mean time i got a ROM with VC and a bluetooth headset so it rings in my ear and i never miss a call
I agree, all the threads with registry edits I've seen don't do anything. I already have volume at max...but the max isn't high enough.
Try radio 1.58.25.17
This radio seems to give me great in call volume.
Tested it with ShogunMark Death v3.5 ROM
just from calling my voicemail, it seems that there's not any noticeable increase...but I guess I'll just have to find out what it really can do when my brother calls me next.

1) The stuff in the link does nothing; adding a new HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN folder and the requisite entries from that topic do nothing. Furthermore, every other setting listed in that particular topic, whether already available in the registry or added, does nothing.
2) Changing HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:InitVol does nothing.
3) THE Q-TIP DOESN'T WORK?! WHERE'S OUR GOD NOW?!?!
I really want to ask if you soft reseted But I wount.. Sec I`ll see if I can digg up some more on this. I had some radios with low sound, just dont remember wich it where atm. I am on Neon and that is one is working real good for me on all aspects exept little hard on the battery. Perhaps a full sprite and reflash to another rom could be youre way? A little tip, wait for L26 v.7. The sip is a pain in the rear on V.6.
of course, except it wouldn't let me soft reset for the qtip.
so...for roms, I want to stick with the l26, but I have two options even if I don't count v6...I could go to v4 or v5 or just wait completely for v7 (although I doubt laurentius will take out the diamond keyboard by then)
I've already changed to the neon as per AllTheWay's advice, and although it does lead to better reception, it has no noticeable impact on sound.

Hmm, tricky one.. Have you tried a equalizer? And was it that from fresh install, meaning its not a app. issue or something? But I suspect it could be rom issue for you since other radio has been tested. So, if reghack doesnt work, neither its a app issue, and changing radio didnt solve it it gotta be the rom.
Have you tried adjusting the WOW HD app in Settings -> System ?
Its pretty awesome at tweaking the sound. My phone has never been so loud!

1st link: I did
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again.
with no effect. This does GREAT stuff to all volume EXCEPT for call volume (e.g., now my rings, system noises, etc., are nice and annoying...but I didn't have a problem with them in the first place.)
Reading further, I noticed that the setacoustic.exe solution requires rom cooking, so I'll have to try to later when I have time to tinker like that.
2nd link: Once again, adding AUDIOGAIN or even importing them from an established download file and then adding them in Total Commander, then softreseting after that, doesn't help.
3rd link: the link to post 244 of the other topic, and its advice to change attenuation, does not do anything for incall volume.
I haven't tried an equalizer.

I don't have the WOW HD app in Settings -> System. Does this affect call-volume? The rest of my phone is actually loud enough, and while a few of these registry hacks works for various other aspects of the phone (e.g., ringtones, system sounds)...those aren't what I want louder. I just want to be able to hear the people I'm talking to when I call.
Toss it in the river... I will keep an eye for a fix as it seems like there is no easy find on this issue. Must be a rom-device hate afair or something.
I briefly tried L26 v7 with 1.58.25.17, but to no effect. Since I had other problems with v7 independent of the sound issue, I moved back to v3.
Hahaha!!!

This is the kinda &@#^%$# that makes me want to go back to the simplest freaking phone I can find. I really can't stand this [email protected]#$!!!
I haven't touched my phone all night. Using the HTC Home plugin, as I always do, I had the setting on "Ringtone: Ring-Standard". The only time I change it from this setting is at work, I set it to vibrate, and before I go to bed, I set it to silent. In the morning, I set it back to vibrate and go to work and repeat the cycle.
The phone sat on the kitchen counter all evening while I made dinner. I didn't TOUCH the volume setting, yet I still missed an important phone call because the ringer inexplicably set itself to silent. Not the silent setting, mind you... but just the ringer itself.
WHY!!?????

I've had this problem too a few times.
Perhaps I should look into it a bit more, because missing phone calls isn't exactly what I want...
Perhaps it has something to do with the scroll-wheel. Or perhaps when a button is pressed, it mutes the sound.
I'll post my findings when I know what causes this.
Well, it's happened three times now. I just check every few hours now. Can't find a reason why it might be happening, but in defense of WM6 fancy new phones, it's only happened since switching to the Dutty #7.
I'll keep my eyes open. Maybe we'll figure it out.
I've had this as well. I get it about once every 5 times I switch from vibrate to non-vibrate using a profile switcher.
It is quite annoying. I find myself checking the volume everytime I switch profiles back to making sound.
I had it on the stock ROM as well.
Same problem here too!!
No solution here but another "me too". I use the Comm Manager ("Kaiser.CommManager.10Button.3GCAB.cab") to switch between Vibrate and Ring and every once in a while I get this same behavior.
AT&T Tilt
Dutty's No. 7b
Hope we can find a fix for this...

I have this problem too from time to time. I have a HTC Tytn II and am still on the stock ROM. It's probably a bug in the HTC Home audio profile app, because I do use it to switch between vibrate and normal modes.
I've also had exactly the same problem. I can't replicate it 100%, at the moment it does seem to be random, but I have noticed it particularly when changing from vibrate to normal ring using the HTC today screen plugin. I've missed a couple of calls before I got wise to this. I check the volume icon at the top now but agree it's a pain.

I will confirm that this seems to be related to running HTC Home. I removed it a few weeks ago and have been using SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Time for my home screen plugins.
I use the comm manager to now switch from Vibrate to Ringer and have not had this issue yet.
Edit - I use the 6 button comm manager and Custel 2.1 rom.
Now that you mention it, I've been using a profiles program too recently and have not experienced the dropdown in volume anymore.
We're still not sure, but perhaps you're pointing in the right direction...
I had this problem with original ROM. But not with dutty's roms.
This is also happening to me with botm Dutty's 3/08 and 3/27 roms.
The other day I was just sitting and looking at my phone and the ringer icon changed to silent right in front of me!
I'm going to try using the comm manager to change rings, and see if it happens again.
I'm using Q-Mobile 1.2 now. It doesn't happen any more.
I only had the problem with Dutty ROMs....
I still got the HTC initial ROM and I also experience this problem...
Mine does the same
I have the same problem. I use HTC home to set the profile to vibrate. I do use a bluetooth headset and I've noticed many times after hanging up that the profile has changed to silent (both volumes are at 0).
Ok, i had this problem with Dutty's Rom, but since i start using wisbar and its profile swithing feature, i've never seen it again...
It seems that this relates with the problem of during calls the other end user complains for low volume. It seems that the mic automatically lowers sound and most probably is a hardware problem. I have sent mine for a mic replacement. I will inform you as soon as i get it back.
I'm able to reproduce the problem with Dutty's WM6.1 and Bluetooth hands-free. Having mobile set to vibrate (using HTC Home) I connect the hands-free (Parrot) and make a phone call. After hanging up the mobile switches to ringing with zero volume.
Any connection to BTAudioToggle?
I also have problems when using bluetooth, it seems like sometimes your problem happens to mine and others it doesn't.
I have had this problem for a long time using dutty's rom also and bt headset. I think it has something to do with voice command maybe i am not sure. I have HTC home disabled i just use spb pocket plus and spb mobile shell. And i also sometimes loose sound completely due to this switching and i have to soft reset my phone to get it back. I have tried different radios but the same happens.
Ok guys, there has been an issue with some of the newer Tilts coming out and their camera not wanting to work with the TyTNII quality fix. This is NOT a radio problem.
Many thanks to Sajakati for helping us get to the bottom of the problem...here's the instructions to fix the problem:

Ok guys finally I found a solution to replace the cif.dll so no need to cook it. Here’s how to do it:
First off, you need to download the following applications: CIF_314.zip & Dotfred's TaskManager
Install/copy TaskMgr.exe to your crappy device and run it:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Install SJ CIF_314.cab and reboot your device.
Run Dotfred's TaskManager again to load cif.dll.
Tap & hold to brings the popup menu and select [Start].
Now run the camera ... hurrah you did it!

Well then, you gotta mention that in your post. If you post something like "I was wondering if I needed to try a different radio or if I ended up with a bad camera again" then people will automatically assume that you did not read or search.
The rule is: Always be an ass to an ass!
alright...will work on that. Currently about to flash a different radio to see the outcome...will post back afterwards.
Might also try to hard reset your device. Reflash, hard reset and after this flash your radio....
alright...neither the 1.64.08.21, 1.27.14.09, 1.58.21.23, 1.27.12.17, or 1.65.14.06 radios have done anything for the problem. Will continue to see what I can come up with later.
Still no luck with the different radios...I may try Dutty's newest ROM and see how that works out.
the best would be to describe your problem
hope another rom will help
stupid htc
thought I described the problem in the first post? Ok...let me try to elaborate...
Currently ROM is Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19716_1.64.08.21...camera function for taking pictures is fine. However, the video capture mode only produces video with green pixelated garbage. The audio portion of the video works fine though.
Update...using Duttys_WM6.1_Official_5.2.19209_1_58_16_27 [FIX] and still the same problem. Reverting back to stock ROM to see if it still has a problem.
Wonderful...still getting pixel rubbish on video with stock ROM and radio...looks like I'll be calling ATT for a new phone again.
I'm afraid your phone is indeed the problem
Yup already called ATT and got a replacement coming.
why does the screenflash a few times when i turn on the camera? is this normal
This is not normal... ...it's normal that you see the brightness is set to max when you start the camera...
it dims then brightens like its adjusting
I think you mean the camera itself is dimming first.. ..this is probably because of the sensor.. ..of course it's adjusting to the ammount of light in the surrounding...

Sorry for the late post, but I have discovered that I am having the same problem. I have tried several of Dutty's ROM's with different radios, but still the same thing. Either garbled video or a blank green screen with working audio. I think I am going to revert back to full stock (SPL, ROM, etc.) and post the results. I could have sworn the video recording was fine prior to custom flashing.
Well, since it has been brought back up, then I might as well post an update now rather than later.
I got my new phone in and checked to make sure the camera was working on all settings and captures modes. Went straight for Dutty's newest ROM and bam, no video recording capability. Same with Alex's and L26's. I even tried earlier versions of Dutty's ROMS going back to March but still no luck.
However, I flashed NoThrill's ROM (from here) and everything worked fine. I can't exactly explain why it is...this is not my area of technical expertise.

I can't get a clear and good sound with my PocketPlayer when WOW is on. It sounds much better with WOW off and SoundBooster (on WinMo) ON. I listen to Rock and Metal music, so it could be because of that. I increased the first 4 bars of low frequencies in my SoundBooster, and I get a lot of good bass and perfect vocal.

I like the following settings:
sur.: 70
center: 50
def.: 10
focus:10
TruBass: 60 at 60 Hz
Setting def. and focus levels to a low value keeps the sound as close as possible to the original recordings (i.m.o.), while adding enough suround and bass to make it sound really good.
Hi All, first post, and new to the HD2 and all things XDA.... but I've loaded this app and when I go to settings, I get the error "there is no WOW HD driver loaded"

These are the settings I use for my headphones when I listen to music. Haven't played with the other settings yet. Do the settings for the internal speaker also work for the speaker of the phone during a call. Would be nice because I have noticed that my HD2 has some "overdrive" problems when someone talks with a normal volume.
For the input and output gain i use the default settings (-1 db for both)

Hey... I found a really cool recording studio app called Meteor
I installed the demo cab and it works like a charm (you just can't save your work on the demo version).
I'm amazed what our little phones are capable of doing. By the way... this is the first application I've seen where pinch to zoom is a real necessity. In fact... I always have it maximum zoomed and this way it's almost like a virtual desktop. (difficult to explain but I hope you know what I mean)

Not quite... Meteor is a multi-track recording studio that lets you record audio (guitar & voice for example) and process it in many ways. I'm amazed that it really works! But as I said... you need to enable pinch to zoom because the buttons are incredibly tiny!

I guess it would have to connect through the micro USB somehow, there's plenty of USB 2.0 mics around but I doubt they'd be compatible via a micro USB/USB 2.0 adapter?
To be fair though the sound quality of the phone mic isn't that bad for low level stuff, I'm amazed at what this phone can do!!
Thanks again for the heads up about MeTeor, excellent find!
Damn, love that Meteor-program!!! Allright, took some definite tweaking before it worked well enough to be functional on the hd2.
But now i've got a working 12 track harddisk recording system in cd-quality in my pocket....for only 30 bucks??!!!
I LOVE my HD2!!!!!
Thanx a million Tubgirl
I think the USB-Mic won't work...problem starts with drivers and ends up with 5V power-supply....
Well, the power-supply could be solved with internal batteries in the mic itself, or just using a dynamic microphone (needs no power to operate)....but drivers are probably the biggest issue...don't even know if one can even write driver software to WinMo, just like it's done to Vista etc.... ??

Damn, love that Meteor-program!!! Allright, took some definite tweaking before it worked well enough to be functional on the hd2.
But now i've got a working 12 track harddisk recording system in cd-quality in my pocket....for only 30 bucks??!!!
I LOVE my HD2!!!!!
Thanx a million Tubgirl

Yes it's incredible that it really works.
Do you want to share what tweaking you have done?

Well shure, I am afraid its a bit complicated. I'll try and see if I can describe it in a way that makes sense .
The first problem one might experience, at least i did on mine (using official htc 1.66 rom), is crackles, pops and dropouts in your recordings. This can be corrected with some adjustments to audiobuffersettings and the cachesize set by Meteor for your sd-card.
1. You need to find the "PREFS.xml"-file, in the Meteor directory. For me it would be here: My Phone\Memorycard\programs\Meteor\
2. You will need a browser that can open and edit XML-files, I used Adobe Dreamweaver.
3. Open the PREFS.xml and adjust the following:
AudioBufferSize="2048" -> AudioBufferSize="4096"
AudioBufferCount="32" -> AudioBufferCount="64"
ReadCacheSize="32768" -> ReadCacheSize="131072"
WriteCacheSize="65536" -> WriteCacheSize="262144"
These are maximum settings, and all in coherrence with what the manual suggests for troubleshooting by the way: View attachment Meteor_manual.zip
THE SECOND PROBLEM with the HD 2 as a multitrack harddisc recorder, as with any DAW-system, is mainly the question of latency.
(for info on DAW, check this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation)
Latency refers to how long the system (meaning processor, RAM, disc etc) is to actually process the sound converted (ADC), recorded, replayed & deconverted (DAC) again.
For the DAW to work properly (avoiding sync-issues between different recordings), it most know its own latency - hence the calibrating/strange beeps when running Meteor the first time.
Only thing is, that even though HD 2 is fast, it appears to have either a slow soundcard/ADC-DAC-converter or pourly written driversoftware to support it. Either way, at least on my phone, Meteor simply cannot deliver ENOUGH LATENCY, to compensate sync-issues, especially not with the above buffer and cachesettings set to maximum, not even with "Synchronize Audio Threads" under <setup> ticked (Which should be done by the way!).
There is a workaround though, but it requires you to know with what BPM (120 bpm being default) you are running during your current recording session and what latency will fit the current bpm you are running with.
The point is that you SIMPLY ADJUST the recording BACK according to your starting point of recording.
EXAMPLE:
You plan to record on track one at 120 bpm, so you set the cursor at the 1-figure at the ruler in the upperbar. you then set your latency under "setup\audio setup" to "940 ms".
Press record. When finished recording you highlight the recording and simply drag it 1-line back (NOT 1-bar, but 1/4 of a bar).
Repeat this for next recording on track 2 or any other, still keeping the 1-ruler as starting point, and you should have two recordings in perfect sync!
This should of course be repeated for every new recording...always dragging it 1-line back to keep sync.
You can test this yourself by the way, by turning on the metronome letting it play thru the HD 2's speakers, simultanously recording it. Drag the recording back, and when playedback, still with the metronome on, you should hear the recording and the metronome playing synchronized. If it is NOT in sync, you need to adjust latency, untill it is, testing with the metronome as above.
120 bpm = 940 ms latency works on my system, but I have no idea if it will work as a standard on all hd 2 phones. Problem is also, that when changing the bpm, you will also have to adjust latency. But assuming that there is some consistency thru this on most HD 2 (though rom and tweaks probably have a huge influence on this), i have here made a list of these values with what bpm = latency: View attachment Latency.zip
Quite complex instructions, hope this will help though. Welcome to ask for clarification, and I'll see if can answer accordingly
Have fun!
Can anyone tell me what's the latest version of HTC's sound enhancer? I'm trying to get it working on a Samsung Focus S. It's dev unlocked and I'm able to load xaps, but when I open it most of the options are grayed out and I can't save any settings I apply. Thanks.
Hook it up to an external source or earphones, then choose Equalizer, you should now be able to tap on the selection bar and choose which per-set you want; simply exit and it will save. If you unplug your head phones or AUX source it will go back to grey (default).

I tried, but nadda. Multiple headphones and speakers, all the same thing. No change in sound (dolby and srs are the only options). Even if I change something, exit the app and then reopen it, it's back to no effects.

That sucks, I wonder if it's a dll or driver issue.
I read this just today, looks like it was pulled because it was crashing HD7 phones and it sounds like a new one should be out as soon as HTC can fix it.

Wow this is what I mean when I say that Windows Phone sucks compared to Windows Mobile, the lack of functionality. Look at the picture below remember this? Why can we have something as simple as this on Windows Phone? It sure beats the hell out of me especially whey they forced us to move to WP7 when they pulled the plug on WM and stopped supporting it.

I wonder if someone could possibly port this over or create something close to it, I would donate.

Oh man I would so donate too! You're totally right about keeping it simple. Dammit I wish MS would own up this...or that more people would make a fuss about it. I'm about to pack up shop and go back to my boring iPhone.

I had tried the xaps on my Samsung focus. And results were exactly as you experienced. I also want equalizer and bass boost options on my focus. I am willing to donate $10 for this thing.

I posed this as a separate thread but no one seems to have any intrest. I have Sound Enhancer on my Trophy and it does the job but it lacks the ability to let one ajust their sounds, it just has presets and we should have more opptions. Maybe if someone posts this to a mod or something it would gain intrest, who knows how long it's going to take HTC to fix this.

Thanks for helping bring light to this sinister. I'm sad to report that I'm going back to my 4S for the time being. I've been carrying it around with me since I got the Focus to use as an mp3 player...and as fun as WP7 is to use, multiple devices makes absolutely no sense to me.
My phone is also a Trophy.
No one is mentioning that Sound Enhancer doesn't work with Bluetooth headsets either.
That's because Bluetooth on WP7 is a joke, You can't do anything worth while or useful with it except use your ear piece for phone calls.
