[Q] In-call volume - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I unfortunately broke the button for the up-volume on my Omnia 7. Tried to remove the case and fiddle with button but nothing happened. I think it s the connection.
I found very useful apps such as Volume slider by Purushoth and Dllimportproject by fiinix.
Those are very useful for the master volume.(i.e. ringtones and music player)
But my problem is, when in a call, those apps do not change the in-call volume.
Mine is unfortunately at 1/10 right now and if I click on the down button then I am in trouble.
I found a solution which is to hard reset the phone but it is not always convenient to back up then reinstall everything and it only goes back to 6/10.
I read on a thread that someone used headphones to change the in-call volume but that did not work for me (beats headphone).
I emailed Purushoth and asked him about it and he said he would look into it but I have not heard back from him. Hopefully he can manage to tweak his app.
I m just wondering if anyone had the same problem and manage to fix it by any other way. Or if anyone would know how to get into the in-call volume ?
Thank you in advance,
Joesmaker

Go to HKCU\Control Panel\Phone and change the key "Vol" 0000FFFF (65535) is 10/10

Thank you so much. back at 10/10
You re a hero.
I ve been dying for a solution for months

always glad to help

I suggest you message the author of the Volume Control app so that the fix (tweaking that registry value) can be added to the app too; probably other people have this problem. Very good find!

Ok I ve just emailed the author of volume slider and told him about the tweak.
Thanks

Can I disable the change volume sound?

Hey all,
First of all, I want to thank everyone here for the wonderful tutorials. On my first try with very little experience modifying mobile phones, I was successfully able to upgrade my 8125 to the latest TNT Professional release, and am loving it!
A minor annoyance for me is when I change the volume of the device... The default sound 'notification' that plays when the volume is changed is so stinkin' loud on the louder volume levels. Is there any way to change the notification sound, or even disable it all together? Thanks!
Same here. I'd love to shut this sound off, I swear that I read somewhere about some registry settings that need to get tweaked, but I didn't find it after one hour searching... Could someone be so kind and help me (us) out?
Thanks in advance!!
Greets,
Andreas
Replacing sounds
My so-far-fail-safe method is to replace the sound file.
1. in My Documents (or wherever but not /windows), make a copy of a wav you want to use (quieter, or even silent)
2.rename the copy of the happy wav to the name of the icky wav (you get to find out which wav it is, or maybe someone else can offer that)
3. move it to \windows, overwriting the old
In rom it doesn't necessarily actually overwrite, but it's enough to fool the system into using the sound you want. Same with 2nd splash screen.
I figure it's easy enough to be worth a try, anyway.
still have this issue on Wm6.5 energyrom phoenix 2
I cannot disable the volume change sound.
Tried looking for wav files, tried using advancedtweak (And other tweak programs).
I can only get them to shut off when in a call. I want them to be disabled forever. Any solution ideas
Hi,
When browsing the HD2 forums (I'm gonna get one in a few days, yay!) I found this:
75. Disable Beeps When Altering Volume
When you press the volume key you getting annoying beeps. This tweak allows to change the volume silently without the beeps.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute Change from 3 to 1.
It worked on my TP and on also on my Wizard (running WM6.1) aldo the initial setting for Mute was 7. Setting it to 1 did do the trick though.
Cheers,

Yeeeeeeeeeeeee finally! It works!

No sound on incoming calls

I've had my Touch Cruise for a while now with no problems but in the last week or so I am no longer getting any ringtone sound for incoming tools.
Vibrate is fine but no sound is there, in the settings menu you can preview the ringtones without any problems but they just won't sound during a call.
Am I heading towards a hard reset/ROM flash or is there a quick fix ?
I had the exact same issue. Hard reset did the trick.
I own the device for a week now and did a lot of funstuff and installed a lot of applications, probably some 3rd party app caused this problem....
I had the exact same issue. SPB backup/restore did the trick.
Fantastic !.
Thanks for that guys, did a hard reset and all was well again.
Tried a backup & restore first but I think some rogue software was to blame as the problem persisted...
Now all is fixed. Cheers for the replies
hard reset shouldn't be necessary,
If you tap the speaker icon on the top bar it shows 2 speaker volume indicators. I suspect the right-hand one (ringer volume, as opposed to left one - speaker volume) was set to minimum (ie off). I've accidentally knocked the volume buttons on the side of the handset, turning the volume off before...
no sound orbit2 deaf

any of you are using note2self??
I had the same problem and the culprit was that app.

Registry help needed please- SPEAKER VOLUME

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.
hERE ARE MY RELATIVE REG SETTINGS FOR YOU TO COMPARE`
HKLM/Software/Audiogain
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.

Symphony of Eternity -- Volume Bug

When i try to change the volume when I am playing this game it doesn't just change the media volume. If I try to turn up the volume while my phone is in vibrate mode, it will switch my phone into silent and into the loud volume (just as if I were at the homescreen trying to change the volume). Once it turns to the loud volume, THEN it will start adjusting the media volume instead of my phone's volume.
So basically, I can't change the volume within the app unless my phone is in silent / vibrate. It will change those settings to take it out of silent / vibrate before adjusting media volume.
Anyone know a fix for this, or is anyone else seeing the same problem?
Edit: The developers have just emailed me back and here is what they said --
Dear Anthony,
I'm sorry but the current function about the sound, in app volume and device's media volume is not co-working, is specification needed in some devices. Thus we can't remove it now. It is still possible that we'll change the function in the future, but we can't guarantee it. Anyway thanks for indicating the point of improvement. I hope you'll contact us again if there're any good ideas or issues.
Sincerely,
KEMCO_GAMES

Well let's hope that they decide to fix it soon then!

[Q] Call volume really low

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.
