Any way to change the volume control to smaller increments? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

At the moment the volume control only has 5 levels of volume. I'd like to have smaller increments if possible. When i'm listening to music it's either too quiet or too loud so i'd like a level inbetween.

You can use your finger on the volume screen to give smaller increments, not sure if that helps or not!

Thanks for the suggestion but i've already tried that and it's still only at five different levels. I'm using the omega ROM though. Wasn't a problem before but this ROM changes the volume screen and other ones i've installed still only have five volume levels.

Volumex allows up to 16 leves for the speaker

what the OP is asking... is if there is a way... perhaps a registry edit or something along those lines.. which will make the volume raise/lower in smaller increments... downloading a whole new volume application is not a fix/solution... he is looking for a why to keep the manilla/sense version of the volume interface and tweak it from there... i know this, because i was looking for the same thing a while back.. but to no avail... so yea.. sorry OP... unless you want to use a completely different volume interface... you're kinda stuck... just get used to it... that's what i did

You can use THIS app to add your music app to the allowed list for use of the smaller 'media volume' control (the volume control you get on the sense music tab etc). This has more, smaller increments so you have more control.

Thanks pckshd I was looking for a program like this. Sweet

HA HA. With a name like pckshd do you happen to work for or be the creator of PocketShield and Volumex LOL. You've recommended PocketShield and Volumex a few times in the past.

Hey! then man asked for more volume levels, volumex has that (and even more features he might find interesting). Was just a tip

I also found this tip very useful, i have searched this kind of cab for a long time. Thanks pckshd.

There is possibly a free (or at least not a trial) solution in post 6^^^^^^

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

Lowest System volume too loud

I think I have the opposite problem from everyone else when I search the forums. The base volume level under System on my Touch Pro is quite loud (when playing music), to the point that I actually take the earbuds out, and just hang them over my ears. If I use mortplayer, there's an option to use relative volume changes, so I can set the System volume to one highlighted bar, and then use mortplayer's controls to make it quieter. Unfortunately, I can't do this with the HTC media player.
Running ROMeOS 1.12. Is there anything I can do to make the volume levels a bit more sane?
Yes, you could try reading the RomeOS thread, which deals with this - it is due to the Audioparm file used in that ROM
Doh, scanned through that thread and must have missed it. Thanks.
Oh, I just posted the same issue in the German ROMeOS thread. I'll skim through the WWE release thread then...

Search for audiopara fix, should give you lots of options
Thanks for the hint. I did it (for now) lowering the TouchFLO Player volume in Advanced Config Tools down to 10 or 20. I'll look into what you proposed though...

Yeah its just 3 files that you copy/overwrite in windows. Takes seconds and viola, lower volume entirely. Some roms are loud and it breaks up/distorts on the speaker.
In the TF3D settings tab, under sound, I find the volume slider there is actually accurate within 1% increments, whereas the system volume buttons can only change the volume along 5 20% increments, I was unable to listen to music without killing my ears till I discovered this tidbit, no messy registry tweaks needed

G1 Speaker Volume Increase

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
always having to ask everyone to repeat what they said
i use toggle setting to turn my volume up on my phone. It's free on the market and cupcake friendly.

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!

[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.

[Q] volume issue dell venue pro

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.

I'm starting to hate wp7 -.- i think an iphone has less limitation than wp . I'm going to use this phone for a while but in the end i'm sure i will get back on android, or maybe i will use both phone, i don't know.
Thank's for the reply that solve my doubt's
