Quiet sound during conversation

[dddnnnggg]

Hi,

I have a s200 for almost a week now and the phone sounds damn quiet when i am having a conversation, so i was wondering if your s200 sound a bit quiet too and most importantly if there is a way, a patch, a registry mod or something through which i could increase the volume of the phone.

All this is happening with volume to the top, i tried all of the methods i could think of but it is still quiet.

Thanks!

can you tell me if your phone is brand new? if its still new and under warranty i suggest you should to return this to where you bought it from if not... pls post specifications of your ROM like is it WM 5, 6, 6.1 or 6.5 coz registry tweaks differ from each ROM... for the mean time try reading this.. i copied this from an old forum thread which quotes on volume increasing...

[GUIDE]Registry Tweaks for Volume
Sorry if this has already been posted but there are a couple of things that are worth outlining to most users.. for example there are registry entries that allow you to change the volume and increase it significantly beyond windows actually supports and there are various other edits.. but one edit i really would like is to disable the Incoming Call Bubble..(haven't found a solution for it yet) but i thought i'd just provide everyone else with what i've found so far. (I take no credit for these registry edits)


Volume Edits

HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\

DWORD - Ringer
(HEX)Increase it to 0x#<change it to 5 or higher> to increase it to its maximum volume. - Only tested on the Atom Life
(DEC)Increase it to over 5 to increase the volume

DWORD - Volume
Same as Ringer DWORD

In Call Edits

REMOVE SOUNDS WHEN ADJUSTING VOLUME INCALL
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestIncallVolume

STRING - Script
Remove the 'p' in the script strings to remove the noises while in a call. This makes the volume increase smoother and removes the annoying noises.

INCREASE INCALL VOLUME

HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall

DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher


Ringtone Edits

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0

STRING - Script

r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all. The repeat will be from the most recent a. So: v3apr will vibrate once then repeat the ring signal.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

RINGTONE VOLUME
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring

DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher

i havent tried all of the tweaks on my phone coz i dont need a loud one :) you can read them and try soft reset and then check if something had changed in your volume.. (credit to the one who made this thread)
and dont forget to back up your registry before applying changes you made...

you may try these driver too if this will be needed..
i attached also a taskmanager where in you can find registry editor in its sub menu..

Enjoy and hope this helps :P

The phone is brand new, but it has no valid warranty with it. I am running the original WM 5, which was installed on the phone, its brand is qtek, and it is g4, as far as i can see. I thought of upgrading to wm6, but i am afraid, that it may become unusable.

Anyway, i can notice any difference with the changes from your post, but now it is topo late and everything is quiet so i can hear a conversation quite clearly, i will run a "field test" tomorrow, and i will post the results.

Thanks for your help!

Regards!

Nope no change, still quiet :(

One day, i've got a problem like this... Sound heard of the conversation was poor when around was noisy...

This was a parameter to change in the microphone part of the settings :

"Start", "Parameters", "System" tab, "Microphone AGC" icon, then uncheck the gain of the microphone (set to disable)

Worth the try, eh ?? ;)
