volume low first then gets loud - Thunderbolt General

Hey all,
I've had my tbolt since Jan. I've noticed that, if the phone is idle for a while... and i get a notification or I unlock the phone.. the first sound the phone makes the volume sounds like it's at 50%. Every sound after that is at full volume.
Is this a "feature" of GB? It happens with any ROM i run.
I've read other threads at other sites saying the quiet ringer --> loud ringer is a "feature" in GB... but i'm talking more specifically to the lock sound, or a notification. the first sound being low then all others being full volume.

Have not seen that one dude, thats strange

I found the exact same problem with the HTC desire..
it's the initial sound the phone makes. (unlock sound off), unlock phone, go to settings->sounds->notifications and select a tone. listen to it carefully. after it plays play the tone again and you will (may) notice the sound is louder the second time. It has to be the first sound the phone makes.

volume?

I have the XDA 11s and i am very happy with it except for the sound level on ring tone and sat nav
I have the bt hands free plug in lighter but that still is not as loud as i would like.
Is there a way of increasing the ring volume above what is in the volume function?
i have the ring tone at max and if it did not vibrate i would miss as many calls as i receive.
Yes, same problem here!!
I've got an DHD running Gingerbread (non rooted) and I've got just one
not that little problem with it, and it is that I don't really hear when
someone calls me, unless I'm in a quiet place.
I can see that ringer uses only 7 out of the 15 volume points available
(media can use the 15) and I was wondering if there's any app which
would allow me use all the 15 points, so I can hear it.
I've also tried increasing the volume of the mp3 (by amplifying it with audacity) by 10db (it is almost distortional) and you can tell by listening to it on my pc, but when I
transfer it to my DHD I can see no difference at all, anyone knows what's going on!?!
It is not to boost volume with a headset (I've seen apps for that) it is
just to boost is on a usual basis.
Many thanks in advance,
Amaya
Id like to kno too.

Low Volume on G1 Speaker

Have you noticed the extremely low volume of the G1 speaker. i can bearly hear the audio whever i play mp3 or video files. Even the phone ringing is relatevly low compared to any phone i have ever owened!!!
Is there a way to alter the hardware setting and get higher volume out the speaker???
Seems fine to me, doesnt seem too low, mayb its the mp3 ur using. I raise the volume of my files with itunes, but even the default sounds on the G1 seem fine.

Yeah, adjust music/video volume using the keys on the side of the phone while playing a song.
I'm sure you already did that so.... there's a program called volume control that let's you adjust every volume setting the phone offers. Also, my speaker has never been that loud anyways but that program helps a bit.
Any one of you guys know where i can but a new speaker phone peace/thing for the G1. I blew mines out with the volume hack. -.- Thanks in advance.
I've noticed the low volume on Cyanogen's ROM, but on every hero ROM I've tried it seems MUCH louder.
I've noticed it too, but I've always used Meltus' AudioHack app to correct that problem.
The only thing I noticed on the G1 that is weak would be the vibrate. That is pretty weak.
My phone started doing this before donut was out. I was using Xrom, and thought it was the rom causing it. I'm running Dwang 1.13 now, and discovered that my issue is being caused by T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail apk. The speaker would work great until I opened VV. The VV apk, routes the media sounds through the headset speaker, like when holding the phone to your ear in a phone call, but it doesn't always re-route the media sounds (and ringer for that matter) back to the loud speaker. There is a hack/apk/widget out to fix it, claiming it to be a cupcake issue, but I only had it happened to me after using VV.
To figure out if you have the same issue, block the loud speaker with your finger and play a song. If it gets louder when you remove your finger from covering the loud speaker, then you have a different issue. If it stays the same volume, block and unblock the headset speaker to see if it changes.

If you are running MT3G/Magic You can also try this on the G1 to see if you get better sound
CM's system usually doesn't add the MT3G Sound XML
Download and run this: http://drop.io/tfwtv3d/asset/volmt3g-signed-zip

I always cup my hand under the phone when watching videos, it boosts the volume a bit

This problem is really annoying, can someone post a link to the fix for me, I haven't been able to find it.
This also happend to my phone. Started with the last stable before the whole google thing with cyan. Tried a hero rom and it was pounden out sound.
So if anyone does have any insight on how to fix this, with reasoning, that would be nice. No "i did this and reset and it just worked" stuff.
Thanks
Also wish my G1 would be louder when a phonecall came in. My older HTC Juno was extremely loud which I prefer because Im not where my phone is 100 percent of the time.
I would also greatly appreciate some insight on how to make the speaker louder with some tweaks and or apps.
Thanks in advance.

Use Meltus' audio hack, it makes the phone really loud. I suggest using g7-6r2
Aye, that should do it
Also, for people experiencing routing problems, my files might also fix that too.
The G7 files included fixes so that they would run on the Cupcake/Donut/Hero/Sapphire. It might fix it, i'm not promising anything though

+1 If your G1 is quiet download Audio Hack from the market and it will not be quiet anymore. People tell me all the time, "dude your phone is ridiculously loud". I love it..
Meltus' app is amazing, i used to hate when i went to show everyone a video from youtube and you cant hear nothing when your out in public. Def recommend it to anyone who thinks their speaker is low.
Meltus Audio Hack.
Your welcome.
My G1 speaker is terrible!
The other end hears constant echo, and it's very soft for me to hear anything.

any way to turn the in call volume up?

My only gripe is the in call volume is way too low.
Have you checked the Hearing aid compatibility under your settings. On my vibrant, HAC mode made it really loud.
I've searched, I've read threads, I still havent found a good solution to this. I have the in call volume turned all the way up just to have it at a "normal" volume level, but then when I get one of those people with a quiet phone, I have no more adjustment to turn it up louder.
Why is it so hard to build a phone where the LOW volume is at a "normal" level so you can use the HIGH level for certain times you have a quiet call or are in a loud environment (like a shop where I work)?
I have Volume+ on my phone, but it doesnt do anything for the in-call volume. Also, when I go into settings/call there is NO OPTION for hearing aid whatever on any of the ROMs I've been running.
Does anyone know what file it is in the ROM which dictates the volume? Or is it in the kernel? Anything that could help? This is severely aggravating...

.. volume plus does not increase in-call volume, as the man says:
" Hi
I'm currently attempting to raise/improve the call volume but have so far been unsuccessful (when a call is active, the phone takes over all audio control, which i'm trying to get back, but I don't know if it's even possible).
For news and updates please see my website "

Hmmm...I was sure Volume+ also worked for in call volume...guess not
Yup. It works for my headphones and external speaker, but not the in call speaker.

[Q] How to remove unlock sound?

Is there a way to remove the unlock sound? I'm using Humble 1.62. In headphones the unlock sound always rings so loud making me cringe a bit. Even on low volumes. Really annoying when it pierces through my music as it is always louder than whatever else is playing.

I'm not sure if its in Humble but there should be an option in sound settings to turn off screen unlock sound, other than that you could try turning down 'system' volume in volume settings though it will also quiet any bootup/shutdown sounds

Sound is all messed up

I can't find anything like this. I wake up this morning to a call and upon hanging up, the hang up sound is a lower tone than normal. I think nothing of it since I'm still out of it. Later, I adjust the phone volume and the beep that it makes is the same lower tone. At this point I try putting on music and it sounds like it went down an octave. I'm kind of freaking out because this is a MAJOR problem for me. It does the same thing when I plug headphones in so it isn't just the speaker. How in the world does this happen and what can I do to fix it? Was there an update this morning that may have done this?
