Kaiser Radios for volume?

[Subversive Asset 2.0]

I am using Radio 1.65.20.29 with L26 Kaiser Diamond v3 (I probably should upgrade to v6 soon, but all of the roms are just excellent)...my problem is not with battery life or gps or anything like that...all of that is fantastic. My problem is that the phone volume is just too low...even at max volume.

I went to another kaiser radio thread...but it was dead apparently -_- (I didn't even see that part)? Because even though I do love the battery life, I can't deal with such a quiet phone.

Are there comparisons of roms by volume, instead of battery life, etc.,? Or is there a .cab to boost volume?

im pretty sure you can set the volume higher with shaps advanced config

[sd73ta]

sorry i checked and no dice but i know theres a reg edit for the max volume give that a search

I don't see anything for incall incoming volume. There's changes for bluetooth, outgoing, speakerphone, etc.,

[tubaking182]

the reg edit doesn't actually do anything, if you click the volume low on your phone and then reg edit it to be higher, the next time you look at the volume it will be higher, there is a max value of 5(set it from 0-5) and other than that it doesn't actually do anything. i also have been looking for a way to make the phone louder so if you happen to fiind one post the results. in the mean time i got a ROM with VC and a bluetooth headset so it rings in my ear and i never miss a call

I agree, all the threads with registry edits I've seen don't do anything. I already have volume at max...but the max isn't high enough.

Try radio 1.58.25.17

This radio seems to give me great in call volume.

Tested it with ShogunMark Death v3.5 ROM

just from calling my voicemail, it seems that there's not any noticeable increase...but I guess I'll just have to find out what it really can do when my brother calls me next.

1) The stuff in the link does nothing; adding a new HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN folder and the requisite entries from that topic do nothing. Furthermore, every other setting listed in that particular topic, whether already available in the registry or added, does nothing.
2) Changing HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:InitVol does nothing.
3) THE Q-TIP DOESN'T WORK?! WHERE'S OUR GOD NOW?!?!

I really want to ask if you soft reseted :D But I wount.. Sec I`ll see if I can digg up some more on this. I had some radios with low sound, just dont remember wich it where atm. I am on Neon and that is one is working real good for me on all aspects exept little hard on the battery. Perhaps a full sprite and reflash to another rom could be youre way? A little tip, wait for L26 v.7. The sip is a pain in the rear on V.6.

[Subversive Asset 2.0]

of course, except it wouldn't let me soft reset for the qtip.

so...for roms, I want to stick with the l26, but I have two options even if I don't count v6...I could go to v4 or v5 or just wait completely for v7 (although I doubt laurentius will take out the diamond keyboard by then)

I've already changed to the neon as per AllTheWay's advice, and although it does lead to better reception, it has no noticeable impact on sound.

Hmm, tricky one.. Have you tried a equalizer? And was it that from fresh install, meaning its not a app. issue or something? But I suspect it could be rom issue for you since other radio has been tested. So, if reghack doesnt work, neither its a app issue, and changing radio didnt solve it it gotta be the rom.

Have you tried adjusting the WOW HD app in Settings -> System ?

Its pretty awesome at tweaking the sound. My phone has never been so loud!

1st link: I did
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
add: DWord value name = volume
value data = 4294967295then press power (sleep) wait 10 sec and press power again.

with no effect. This does GREAT stuff to all volume EXCEPT for call volume (e.g., now my rings, system noises, etc., are nice and annoying...but I didn't have a problem with them in the first place.)

Reading further, I noticed that the setacoustic.exe solution requires rom cooking, so I'll have to try to later when I have time to tinker like that.

2nd link: Once again, adding AUDIOGAIN or even importing them from an established download file and then adding them in Total Commander, then softreseting after that, doesn't help.

3rd link: the link to post 244 of the other topic, and its advice to change attenuation, does not do anything for incall volume.

I haven't tried an equalizer.

I don't have the WOW HD app in Settings -> System. Does this affect call-volume? The rest of my phone is actually loud enough, and while a few of these registry hacks works for various other aspects of the phone (e.g., ringtones, system sounds)...those aren't what I want louder. I just want to be able to hear the people I'm talking to when I call.

Toss it in the river... I will keep an eye for a fix as it seems like there is no easy find on this issue. Must be a rom-device hate afair or something.

I briefly tried L26 v7 with 1.58.25.17, but to no effect. Since I had other problems with v7 independent of the sound issue, I moved back to v3.
