Speaker problem on shadow -replace or reg hack? - Shadow General

I have a t-mobile shadow that I imported from the states to the UK. The only problem is the speaker does not work when you receive a call.
Basically you can not hear the other person talking but they can hear you fine, when you put the phone on loudspeaker it works fine.
I have tried replacing the housing but the speaker is the same.
Does anyone know where I can buy a new speaker for the shadow?
Failing that would some sort of registry hack be possible to set the loudspeaker volume much lower so that I could answer a call and use it on loudspeaker but just so the sound is not audible to everyone around.
Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Any way to make the speaker louder?

Hey All,
Is there any way to make the speaker louder? This is for general music playing, as well as speakerphone etc. On the XDA2 you could turn it up to the point it distorted...but the i-mate etc dont seem to go that high.
is there any 3rd party program to boost the speaker volume (i know it wont go that much higher without distortion, but the option would be nice).
Cheers,
Jez.
me too
This is the only thing, in my opinion, that is not perfect about htis device. I wish the speaker was a little louder for speaker phone. Also, it would be great if someon could figure out how to make speaker phone kick in automatically when you use voice dial.

There is a way with regedit, I'm still looking
im also interested in turning up the volume..
Make the holes a little bit bigger. The sound is muffled by the tiny hole.
@ZZPACKED: keep us informed. Im interested too.
Thanks

Hello,
The speaker is small and can hold only a minimum dbs of sound. If it becomes more louder, you get the sound distorted and may spoil the speaker's cones too. But for low volume sounds, you may try boosting!
Hi Carty, how do you boost the sound?
Cheers
hi
hello everybody ! i`m also finding a way to increase sound of speaker, & in call how it was on mpx200 used to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall]

problems with earpiece speaker

When listening to calls through the earpiece speaker the sound often sounds like it's blasting. Does anybody else have problems with the quality of the earpiece speaker? If it sounds good to a majority or you, then I will send it back to have it replaced, any responses would be appreciated.
CRACKLE
I have had 2 and they both crackle...I have been told that the earpiece speaker quality in these types of phones is not the best!!! So change for a another or put up with it. Mind you only need to keep the volume at minimum and you hear all calls as clearly as you should.
maybe its just o2
mines crap to
sending it back for replacement.
its supposed to be v good on this phone , why would they make it crap and everything else so good?
My 9100 has the same problem. I'm on my second 9100...the first one just died after a week for no reason. Now I'm on my second one and the earpiece speaker sounds like crap on full volume. (It wasn't the case on the first handset.) I work in a loud environment and I need a loud phone. (The spekerphone is absolutely useless too.)
I'm getting really annoyed with this device!!! For $700 I would at the very least expect it to work!!
Also, does anyone else going nuts over the lag when dialing from the touch screen? When you touch a number, it takes ages to show up on the screen...if at all. It was fine on my JAM.

Prevent the Phone from ringing out loud when on headphones?

Hi,
I noticed that my Wizard (updated to the last WWE rom) rings out loud through the speaker when receiving a call while headphones are connected through the jack. I'd like it to only ring in the headphones. Is it possible? Is this a known issue?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just found the solution myself:
I set the key \\\registry\HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker to 0. It works!
This is just GREAT. Big thx for finding this, been looking for this for a long time, checked all the music players but none offered it. Thx again
i was looking for this too
thanks!
This is great BUT... is there a way to have the mic work while on the headphones? Because when I get a call while on my headphones I have to pull out the headphone jack in order for the other person to hear me. This would be great and very useful.

it might be a hardware issue?
it worked fine on my jam (i use the treo adaptor) and not my wizard
i'll have to test the stock jam headset on the wizard to know for sure
well it'd be better if i was wrong
Just to clarify, does the registry edit turn the ring off the speaker permanently, or just whent he headphones are plugged in?
Cheers.
Just when the headpones are plugged in.
