AT&T A.30.07 ROM and Volume on phone

So, I'm experiencing what everybody else is with this ROM. That initial volume level starts out soft and gradually increases to the max that I have it set to. Some have stated they like this and that's fine. But, I HATE it :evil: . I can never hear my phone ring anymore if it's in my pocket. Has anybody found a possible registry key or setting somewhere to turn this off?
And if any AT&T folks are listening.. I'd like a setting in the volume area to turn this off or on.

Phone Profile
Have you check under phone profiles... Ascending Ring change to Standard Ring
Dustoff

I don't have a phone profile, or i should say i don't see any where for that option. In the phone settings area the Ring Type is set for Ring. There is an option for "Increasing Ring" but that's even worse than it is already. I don't think this is what I'm looking for.

Since the WM2003 upgrade on my SX56, 've noticed issues with the speakerphone volume. I can barely hear it in fact. Any thoughts on this one?

Fiddled around with the volume setting, moved it up and down, and the now the volume issue seems resolved. Can't say for sure if that's what resolved it, but it's fine now.

I'm experiencing the same problem with the AT&T rom.. I'm going to take a look around in the registry later on... before I go installing any apps

Well I have taken a look @ the processes running and can't see anything obvious that would be doing the volume thing..
So I have had a poke about in the registry and have found a section with sound profiles and it has an attenuation property, I have tried adjusting this, and deleting it but still no good
Also there is an entry in the registry called Hack and mentioned Vol in the string... but it didn't make any difference when I deleted that either :roll:
If anyone thats a bit more acomplished than myself with the PPC Phone could take a look and find a solution to this, i'm sure many users would appreciated it

Has anyone figured out how to make the volume level constant yet?

Any solutions to get the volume working well on A.30.09 ENG yet?

Nope. I just put my phone volume on next to the top setting and the system volume two levels below it. Works fine then. As long as the system volume is two levels below it will not graduate the sound.

Another thing try ur Reminder set an Alarm you'll notice that you cannot change the Alarm1 ringtone thus the sound stays low ..I tried many things in the registry and no luck as well I wish would some1 help us to resolve this Issue, but!! I made contacts with att's support ,I told them about this problem thus I'm not the only one who's experiencing this, lots of ppl sees this ennoying , I hope they would help here...

Volume step

I find the fact, that there is only 5 steps of volume level available, very very annoying
Is there any way to increase the number of steps?
Thanks

Good question! i'd be interested in this also!

Would also like to remove the soft start of ringtones on Samsung.

you also can press directly on the screen if the amount of volume you would to keep, if it's not on the few steps possible
that's what i usually do, more precise

What is also annoying when you push volume up/down it changes your ring volume and NOT the system volume by default. Pain in the a$$

I think it depends on the last tab you were on; system vs ring volume.
But yes you can use your finger as a slider to make fine adjustments.

Nope mine definitely defaults at ring volume all the time.
I sometimes want to alter the volume in the pocket but the jumps are too big.

There was/is a diamond tweak program (maybe from schaps) that allows you to limit the max volume. In doing so the steps become smaller.
Someone told me so .... i didn´t tested it.

is that site in english as well somewhere as I cant figure out how to use the cab, other than installing it.

Google offers translation servives... try this link...

Thanks I've installed the cab and soft reset the phone to take effect.
Now it defaults to system volume rather than ring volume.
Sadly still jumps 3 levels though.

yep, changing the volume by 10% or maybe 5% steps with the buttons would be fantastic. maybe someone can write a tools for it...

I second this request! It would be a nice little tweak to the Touch HD if the volume steps were reduced a bit. As it is now, I sometimes find myself in situations where the volume is either a little bit too loud or a little bit too quiet. Hitting that sweet spot in between would be a big improvement!

You can have more steps using touch screen, but it works only in System tab. Ring tab still have big steps.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! It does solve my problem, since it was the system volume I wanted to fine-tune (e.g. for music). It still would be nice if these smaller volume steps could be mapped to the hardware volume button as well, since I sometimes need to adjust the sound on the go. That would be easier if I didn't have to do it via the touch screen.

Same problem for me. Steps with the side button are too big.

Anyone knows if there is a tweak to increase the number of steps for the sound bars? This is immensily frustrating. I CANT listen to music with the HD since it's either too soft (6%) or too loud (13%)...
This is really pathetic...

list of issue with hd2 still unsolve

hi guys,
i still have a list of hd2 issue yet to be solve, can any kind soul reply with solutions here in sequence.
1) when i am on my wired earpiece, the volume is so max that it can be unbearable at times. i know i have the volume rocker to up and down the volume to suit my hearing but then if i lower my volume it also carried the low volume to the connected calls. is there a workaround for this?
2)when i am on a connected call, i can hear hissing sound which is so irritating and the other party on my line ask if i'm on speakermode. workaround? volume is soft as well by the way.
3)phone hangs alot and i have to remove the cover and battery, the usual standard procedure. i know it could be manila.exe accumulating resources so high that it can be disruptive. the only solution i have now is restart at periodic time to maintain phone usefulness.
4)Weather not updating.
5)Flash player on HD2 if there is.
i cant think of anymore now.. maybe later..
sometimes when i felt my phone was stable for a few days it hangs unexpectedly. but there so much tweaking that needs to be done on this phone that i have to take a risk bricking the phone. there is really endless tweaking to this phone. imagine if i were to hardreset and reinstall all tweaks and stuffs .. it will be a nightmare when i have gone so far in tweaking it.
thats WM..

soft reset and see again as i don't have this problem. you must adjust the ring not during the phone is ringing but before it tell me if it works

Galaxy Tab Eurofirm In Call Volume

Hi Folks, I noticed today my GT speaker in call volume gets low. Volume levels are set at max. I check the music, videoplayback and media volume and all is ok. The only problem is calling.
Thinking it was after I used a Samsung WEP450 Bluetooth to make calls. I just don't used it today and noticed this.
Mine is a T-mobile USA GT, running ROTO JMEv4 Firmware. Anyone else with this situation?

Can anyone post the dial code (*#@@@@@@#) to get the service menu that lets you change the default volumes?

I just fixed it. I called my self via the GT and Up the volume at the highest level. Then Down two levels and the In Call Volume from the Speaker get fixed. Woot Woot!
I don't know what could be happening. If I Up it to the highest turn lower. But It's fixed by Now... again, Woot Woot!

speaker in call volume hack = (*#*#197328640#*#*) I'm not sure what values change there. But this is the service menu!

Enter that code into your dialer and the service menu opens. Tap [5]Audio [1]Handset [1] Volume I changed all the volumes to 92.

When you say "all" you mean to row #3 SRC I2S1 RX Volume and #4 DST Speech TX Volume?
If so I do that and doesn't fix the problem. I just maintain using my original fix. I don't know what happened! I had a friend with the same trouble and I give to him mi FIX and he fixed it. Well "fix" in quotes...!!!
But by now I can say Woot Woot!

any reason why 92 is the max and not 100?

I have a Verizon Tab "no phone" How do I get to service mode

Changing the in call volume in the service menu does nothing. Also, if you reboot your changes do not get saved.

Woop Woop!
Just called myself and set the volume to 2 down from highest and it now sounds a lot louder!!
Thank you!
ps This wasn't the case when I had the stock Samsung firmware.. sounded fine then.. It only started when I started all this custom-romming-schtomming.. maybe its a kernel thing? I'm on modaco at the moment.

You are correct - 100 is the max. I never go max on volume (crackles, distortion, etc.).
There are several volume adjustments, just look around in all the menus. Reboot when you are done experimenting.

I must be getting a placebo. Or standing too close to a few explosions did damage.

Go Audio > Speaker > diamond solution and there is also a setting there for Voice Booster.

[Q] Nexus 4 in-call volume problem

I am having problems with the in-call volume of my Nexus 4. Say I have it at 4/5, it will remain at this for a while, however, it does not maintain this setting. When I answer a subsequent phone call, the in-call volume will have reset itself to 2/5. It is quite annoying answering a phone call, not hearing the person on the other side and then having to increase the volume again. I actually returned my 1st Nexus 4, however, this problem is now occurring on my replacement phone as well. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem before I contact Google again. I have not made any adjustments to the OS of the Nexus 4. Thanks for any help!

I have Volume + installed from Google Play and it increases the volume considerably from the speaker, through bluetooth and headsets. If you try it go to settings/sounds/sound effects and choose Volume + instead of Music Fx. I`am using the paid version and it works great for me.

Thanks for your reply. Actual loudness of the phone is not a problem, when the highest in-call volume setting is maintained. However, the phone will randomly reset itself to the 2/5 setting. Over the weekend, I give the Volume + app a try. It has an individual setting for in-call volume, however, the problem still occurs. Do you think the problem is software related and therefore potentially could be rectified by the next major update to be released? I'am worried that I may have to try and return another phone to Google!

I forgot to say that even though is the same issue, in my case is the other way around. The volume resets to 5/5 even though I change it to 2/5 during a call. The 2/5 setting seems to last only some time but surely after a few hours, when I make or receive another phone call the volume has gone up to 5/5.

I have the same issue. The volume is always to the max. During the call I lower it, because it is too loud at the maximum, but during the next call, the volume is at maximum again. I tried several applications that adjust in-call volume, but it had no effect.

I believe we might have an application installed that's resetting the volume, would you mind sharing the applications you have via private message and then we can check which we have in common and go from there? If you agree I'll send you mine as well.

After several factory resets I finally found out what was the problem. Automatic Call Recorder has an option named Maximize recording volume (or something like that). When I turned off this, the problem was solved.
