Anybody working on a hack to exceed the g1 volume by normal. My earlier iphone had a volume boost tweak to increase its really low volume and now g1 to has the same problem. SOme body please try to increase volume by 150%
I would be intrested too. have had a few phones in the past that alowed u to mess with the gain tables
I would actually pay to get this pathetic volume fixed..
miss days of tytn II and the TCPMP over amping facility.
used G1 for audiobook on the tube today - frikkin pathetic
Bah!
id love to see the volume upped ,i hate how low it is

They're actually talking about upping the volume beyond the current maximum, which shouldn't really be too difficult. I'd love to see someone get this done.
i had suggested this before when the phone first came out, and all i got was "take that wax out of your hear! lololz0l"
lol why would anyone install bloat when they can press a button with their hand?!
anyhoo yep deffo need a bloody volume hack for this puppy - or this 18 month contract will kill me!
I was talking about ringer vol its so quiet
Ah ok, sorry i'm talking about the volume of the headphones it blows!
Yah, I'm hoping for it as well...This may be nothing but coincidence, or may be worth a look at, but I experienced something with Jewel Lust. I'd have music playing, and then i'd load up Jewel Lust to play with the game's sound off. And for some reason, when jewel lust loaded, the music got louder even though it was already on full volume. Maybe Jewel Lust has what we are looking for in the code. Since its all open source, maybe a dev or coder could take a look at the source and see what Jewel Lust is doing to cause the volume increase. Could be a fluke for all I know..but the volume >DID< increase from being at full after I started up Jewel Lust.
kooooooooool tep you should be a private eye!

I have my notifications/ringer set to max and can barely hear them in my pocket. I don't remember them being *this* quiet in 1.1. Might just be me though.
(and yes, I have the latest radio/etc).
yeah mine is too quiet as well i wish it had a train horn or something on it lol , then maybe i would hear it
i have it set to vib+ring and still miss most calls , plus i work in louder type environment
i'm sure a seem edit would do it, but seems everyone is afraid of those?
I agree with everything said in this topic.
Someone pelase make it
I am constantly missing calls due to this and its making me pretty frustrated with my awesome phone.
I was reading around and there is supposedly a file called "asound.csv" in the ETC folder where you can change the max volume. I don't have a file called that and the few sound files i cannot see how to do this. Does anyone else have any ideas on how to increase the max volume?

Good news and bad news.
First the bad news: Looking at that site, it looks like that information is in reference to the Openmoto Freerunner, not the G1.
Good news: I believe I've found where the volume config is stored. I've found a pair of CSV files with a good amount of volume related data. I'm not sure if there is a hardcoding of the volume itself in the files or not, but it looks like we're on the right track.
The files are /system/etc/AudioPara4.csv and /system/etc/AudioParaTMUS.csv
Here's some of the contents:

You are right it is for "Openmoto Freerunner" which makes perfect sense now as to why i couldnt find the file. I found the file you put in there as well but it doesn't seem to be very obvious (to me at least) what needs to be changed. I am going to give it a shot though... here is to hoping i can still use my phone as a phone once im done!

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
I recently acquired a HTC Touch Pro and the major problem I have is when making calls the volume is too loud. Even when I have the volume set to the lowest possible level, it's still too loud. Is there any way (maybe via registry hack?) that you can reduce the call volume even lower?
Holy ****, MOST people have the opposit problem, it is WAY too low even at highest volume, but you are maybe using headset/speakerphone?
Maybe we should ask the OP to upload his audiopara files It would solve a lot of users problem (mine also)
May be this device came with a new rom which is not yet available for download at HTC site.
What is your device rom version?
Regards
Yes, maybe the htc support guys were annoyed by the too many complaints about the call volume, so they raised the volume in the new rom to an irrational level?
OP: Is your ear speaker distorting during a phone call?
No not using speaker phone or anything like that. Speaker does NOT distort, its just too loud for me, even at the softest volume (1 bar), it's still too loud. I have sensitive ears. On every phone I use, I always have to have the volume to the lowest which isn't usually a problem as its manageable. It's just that with this phone after I make a call (even if its a brief one) my ear will go slightly deaf for a few minutes after, because its so loud. It's annoying, especially when the primary function of the phone is to make calls.
At the moment, I'm using ROMEOS 1.12 and radio rom 1.02.25.28 and protocol version 52.33.25.17U.
can u share with us the audiopara files? or the settings from ur registry? or something that can help other like me with the low sound?
i belive tht the entire forum here will be greateful for ever... and maybe the developers will work aroud with that files for us, poor people with nonsensitive ears...
I found this one audiopara3.csv file. It 's Tripp 's light boost. Works fine for me. You should unzip and copy it in \windows folder replacing the existing one.
Keep a backup of your original file just in case...
All credits goes to Tripp.

Anyone tryed these allready?
Can people chime in on this. I really want tio buy the Pro but from what I have read the phone suffers from the volume problem that all of the HTC phones suffer from. Has anyone found a way to up the volume on the earpiece and speakerphone. How well does the workaround work. All everyone is saying is try this without providing results and effectiveness
This is critical to me as I want ot purchase this phone immediately, but the volume issue, especially on the speakerphone, really is holding me up
Please help
ty, freco, but i have tried all audiopara published on this forum... still not satisfied....
i've copied it to /windows, but i think it wasnt there at all :S total commander did not say do you want to overwrite or something :S

yes it's work in my TP there is significant increasing volume hope not break my speaker
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.
Not sure...

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.
so i have this great phone, i love wp7, it has thing's that i don't like but well nothing is perfect.. but what i really, let's say, hate is when i receive a phone call the volume is really low :S i have the phone wit the volume o maximun (30), the music sounds great, really loud but the phone call and even the alarm sound really really low, how can i fix that?
Phone call volume is controlled separately from everything else. While in a call, hit Volume Up and put it at max (the scale is different: in a call, it goes 1-10 instead of the normal 0-30).
If that's still not loud enough, I'm not sure what to expect. You could try using earbuds or a headset. On my HD7, I have to set call volume down to 5 when using earbuds or it's painfully loud. Bluetooth headsets often have their own volume control too, and can push the call higher if the phone doesn't go high enough.
There are some registry controls that affect volume, but I don't think anybody had managed to get any write access to the DVP registry yet.

thanks for the answer man, but i think i don't explain myself very well xD i'm talking about the ringtone from when you're getting a phone call you know? That's the volumen i'm talking about that it is kinda low, and is the same with the alarms..i hope you can understand me now haha..and i have another question since you answer my previews one you know a way or and app to change the colors of the live tiles? Because the colors that came with the OS are, let's say, short haha
Ah... yeah, I really wish I could set the ringer volume independently of the music-and-so-forth volume. BTW, alarms will always (by design) start at low volume, then get louder over the course of about a minute. I tend to set the base volume high before going to bed anyhow, but I've forgotten to a couple of times and it still wakes me up within a very short time.
Adding custom accent colors is another thing that requires registry access. In theory, there's a registry editor built into the EM app. So far as I know, nobody has gotten it to work, though. It's a real pity, that is; with a built-in regedit, the phone could easily be dev- and interop-unlocked, opening up a lot of homebrew potential.

Thank's for the reply that solve my doubt's
Is there an app or other software to boost the volume? All my volume settings are maxed and i cant really hear the caller. Sometimes, though, it comes in just fine, but most of the time it doesnt.
Thanks

I had this problem with another phone and after an extensive search, I ultimately gave up on it. I will share what I tried and maybe save you a little trouble.
First and simplest, try gently cleaning out the earpiece with a little toothpick, a pin, or better yet blow it out with some air. This seems to work for some people, as overtime gunk can build up inside the screen.
Next, there are a lot of apps that claim to work as volume boosters. Most of them are for speaker volume and not for in-call volume. After sifting through many of them I found one or two that claimed to help in call volume but they really did not work. If you go this route then "happy hunting".
Some ROMs have a hearing aid setting under the Accessibility options but I couldn't tell you which. The ROM I'm using has ways to change the volume steps for all volume settings and that might help (I'm using Liquid Smooth found here in the DEV section).
There is an Xposed module that enables you to adjust some volume steps.
Viper for Android gives you a lot of control over the sound of the device (it has Xloud) and it works well with the Apollo Music Player found on many ROMs but I can't say for sure it helps in-call volume. It sure makes music sound good though.
Last and hardest, if you are rooted and have a file managing app, you can go into the system files and edit them. This would probably require the assistance of a dev who could tell you exactly where these file are located and what the correct settings should be. Of course, there is always a chance of damaging your phone this way.
That's all I know. Hopefully, one of these options will work for you, or someone wiser will jumped in with a better solution. Good luck!
You need to tell everyone what software you are using and how long you have been having a problem.
