You should give me that iPhone 4. wink wink
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
This appears to be a solution for some people and for other it doesnt seem to work. Not really sure why but it works on my Evo 3D and it works on various others in this thread. This IS NOT a fix all for everyone. All I can tell you is to try it and see.

Many thanks to slayer69 for this. Basically just a copy/paste of his thread with some other changes for the low volume on the EVO 3D. I take no responsibility for your actions if you brick it or blow your speaker!!!!

Here is the new process for INCREASING the volume on your EVO 3D. Enjoy!!! (NO ROOT REQUIRED)

1. Install HTC Sync if you haven't already.

2. Use the CDMA Method posted Here to get your MSL. Thanks techwerkz - Or Call Sprint.

3. Download QPST: http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/qualcomm/models/qpst/12051.html

4. Install QPST software

5. Put phone into Diag mode: dial ##diag#

6. Start QPST service programming. If your phone is in diag mode you will see it listed here.

7. Click Read from phone

8. Enter your SPC number (the one obtained from step number 2)

9. Click the Sounds tab.

10. Change each level to whatever you want it to be. Level 4 is the loudest (try not to blow your speaker, thnx!).

11. Write to phone. (You may see some Read Only Errors. This is normal)

12. Reboot phone and you will hear the difference.

To find the COM port your HTC Modem is using:

Go into the control panel and then device manager. Look for the HTC Modem. Right click on the modem and select properties. Select the "Advanced Tab" then "Advanced Port Settings" Button. Com port will be listed there. (Windows 7 Instructions)

If you have Windows 7 x64 and are having issues with the HTC Modem drivers follow these Instructions.

If you're having problems with the above process see, slayer69's thread here
[HTC EVO 3D] kooks05:
Wow thank you I have noticed my volume has been a little low compared to my og
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
I would like to know whether QPST works with winodws 7 X64. It keeps crashing when I click on the service programing, please advise.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
yes, see slayer's thread for proof. or you just have a bad install. uninstall, remove all registry entries referring to qpst, reinstall and retry.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Does HTC Sync have to see the phone then run QPST?
[HTC EVO 3D] ZachPA:
QPST link is a four oh four. :/

[HTC EVO 3D] bwcorvus:
Is there a linux QPST?
[HTC EVO 3D] slayer69:
Not that I know of.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Figured it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
Do I have to hotsyn the phone while I open QPST programing or check the USB Debugging? Please tell me little details. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Newklearx3:
What's the loudest without blowing the speakers?
[HTC EVO 3D] mrboost:
**delete please **
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
Is it after you successfully connected to QPST or when you open QPST programming, then it crashes. If you get online connection failure, try to update profile and it should connect online again. I don't know whether I answer your question.
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
Never mind, just figuire it out. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
haha, i noticed. wasnt paying attention. sorry!
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
no but you do have to have the htc modem drivers installed, be in diagnostic mode and have the correct port listed in qpst configuration
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
How well does this really work?

I know messing around with qpst can really hose your stuff up if you make the wrong changes so I never played around in there.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
i changed mine to Level 3 and it's noticeably louder overall. yea, you can hose your stuff up but as soon as you read the phone initially, make a backup in qpst and all can be restored if you do fubar it!
[HTC EVO 3D] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Outstanding, I can finally use my headphones!
[HTC EVO 3D] erawtik:
well i changed everything to 4 had no difference. Then messed with dsp and still not difference. Then got volume+ and still no difference. I just got my phone a couple days ago so if anyone else who is in the same boat and finds a solution pm me if you would thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
my phone was always very low sounding and at max volume had a crackling nouse to the speakers.

when i read the data from my phone the speekers showed up with a blank value i changed only the speeker volumes to 4 wrote it to the phone when the phone rebooted and started up i went to youtube to play a video HOLY COW! CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUD AUDIO!!!!

Not only did this make my speekers louder it removed the crackling noise!

i used to get so mad when i was trying to play a video cause any noise and it was unhearable and when my friend would pull out his bionic it just blew mine away now they are the same volume and mind actualy sounds a little louder in my opinion also no indication that it will blow and no distortion observed
[HTC EVO 3D] chaoticallysweet:
Eck! Not only did this not change the in ear volume, I now have random reboots. I hope going back to an old nandroid will resolve....

------still random reboots.

Full wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
try going back into QPST and restoring to stock settings, but in theory this should not cause random reboots. I've seen random reboots everywhere on the 3D forum for a large amount of "claimed" reasons, try reflashing your rom, fullwiping (wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik). I believe this may be that QPST tried to change a value that your rom already had changed and caused a conflict. I may be wrong though.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
I changed it from default of 2 to 3 and I noticed a difference.. and 3 does not appear to be too loud to worry about blowing the speakers.
[HTC EVO 3D] chaoticallysweet:
Thanks. I think it was an app. I wiped, factory reset, reflashed and still got random reboots. Contemplated downgrading radios, than I removed to dos pro-- no reboots.

--update, it started to reboot again right after I sent this reply -- 5x every 30 minutes. I downgraded to the original radios and the rebooting has stopped. My phone did not like the latest radios -- could have been a bad md5 file.
[HTC EVO 3D] dadda:
will this also work for the in call volume?
[HTC EVO 3D] kdbutler77:
Yes, dadda, it will.
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Hey guys, does anyone know how to do this using GSM? I tried to get the MSL code with the apk but it didnt showed anything besides "your device isn't CDMA" and that dial thing wont work either. Ist it possible in GSM?
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Okay **** this ****, its been a month! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
this worked for me, I can definitely tell the sound difference. The speaker now sounds like my OG EVO did. Thank you.

I have 2 questions though. How do I make a complete qpst backup, and will this work for other HTC phones?
[HTC EVO 3D] rpenrod23:
Thanks for this thread, this worked like a CHAMP on my 3VO! +1 on bringing the volume back to the OG EVO days.

Thanks again! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] MeatyCoins:
is this permanent or goes away when flashing a different rom or kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes volume will stick across rom flashes, however, after I flashed the new radio yesterday I noticed that my banner was changed to virgin mobile and I changed the banner with qpst. So the volume might not stick after flashing a radio. I haven't read from my phone with qpst since the radio upgrade to see if volume went back to default.
[HTC EVO 3D] jfizz88:
are you both on newts RC3 with the included kernel or did you change it?
[HTC EVO 3D] METHOD1911:
I take it there's no other way to accomplish this without a computer right.

ive done eveything and my phone still isnt reconizged. im running windows 7 ultimate and still am having issues with the htc diag drivers not installing anyone have a copy of the drivers i can try and install to get this all to work..

thanks a bunch
[HTC EVO 3D] MRagu:
Im on windows 7 as well and if you follow the directions posted HERE to the T, you will have no problems getting it to recognize your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] evofreak80:
Yea I tried that but my windows 7 ultimate is 32bit not 64 I'm trying to find the drivers for htcdiag for win 7 ult 32bit
[HTC EVO 3D] wranglerray:
copy the the htc diag drivers into your C:/windows/system32 folder then when you search for the driver it should show up. The dll files arent registered correctly thats why it wont see the inf file to load the driver.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73987477/Win x86.zip

htc diag drivers for 32 bit operating systems.

Has to be in the windows/system32 folder

QPST really works

I have been able to successfully raise the volume using the QPST process on a EVO 4G and 3D. Just read the OP and follow-through.
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
Did you go all the way to volume 4?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I went to 4 on each box and its great for me, some say its too loud but I like it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I went to the htc website to download htc sync and there is no sync for 3VO. I'm using the EVO 4G one, then updating it. Will that work? When I was installing the EVO 4G sync, it said drivers failed to install.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikevillarroel:
all of them?
[HTC EVO 3D] tstack77:
HERE is a little help for installing all the sync drivers on win7x64.

SIDE: If your phone isn't showing up in QPST with the drivers installed, open up QPST Configuration and add COM ports (COM3, COM4, COM5, etc) till you find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Thanks. Great help.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I looked up HTC sync (I'm supposed to download/install the HTC Flyer sync?), run it, it installs all drviers, etc. Then, I open diag (via ##diag# in dialer), install diag drivers, then downloaded/installed QPST drivers. Opened up Service Programming, nothing. I did this exact same procedure yesterday for the 3G speed boost, now it's not working on the same exact usb port, on the same exact computer, using the same exact phone! Also, my device manager identifies my phone as "My HTC", then under "Ports", it shows "HTC Diagnostic Interface (COM7)", but whenever I open up Service Programming, it doesn't display any phone. My phone isn't being identified under Modem in Device Manager anymore. Anyone know why? The only difference is now I have htc sync installed.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Just open qpst configuration and make sure you add com 7, should get you going.

Is there any way to increase the bluetooth volume output? I have mine connected to my car and it's ridiculous how much louder my stereo has to be when compared to other inputs. It is not a true "line-out".

EDIT: I found a MM Audio tab, what is the HFK level and Stereo D/A Converter? Both sound promising but I'd hate to...
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
install dsp manager. probably best for bluetooth stuff
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Just applied it, it works very good...but it has static in some of the audio. Is this something I did on my end? I'll put up with it because it's very minor (put all of the levels to 3), and I'm satisfied with my audio now.

EDIT: just tried level 4, doesn't sound any louder so I'm reverting and staying with 3, just to be on the safe side.

any help/ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
haha, yea, i forget sometimes i dont have root anymore. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
open qpst configuration and add the com port the htc modem is on. uncheck "Show Serial and USB/QA Diagnostic ports only"
[HTC EVO 3D] tstack77:
Open up QPST Configuration and add COM ports (COM3, COM4, COM5, etc) till you find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
no, may just be your speaker.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
thanks to both! level 3 on all i will try and if my phone blows I blame you! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] bhughes3:
have ya'll made any changes to the MM Audio tab? Noob here and don't want to blow my speaker, but didn't know if this had been looked into or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] urcboss07:
You can install dsp manager in stock rom, no root need. It works, I've installed it on my HTC 3D. Enjoy!
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
You should rewrite step 12 (banner) ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Hmm...I don't think so. The only version I could find involves installing a library along with the apk. I was able to install the apk itself, and the GUI worked, but it had no effect on the sound.
[HTC EVO 3D] ebuechler3:
will this work using my macbook? if not, what will? thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] PM-Performance:
little confusion with getting the MSL part working in the workshop so I just called and got it, but the fix itself seemed to be easy enough and took effect.

Awesome work guys. This was a major thing for me!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] gmfeny:
Is this for the earpiece speaker or the speaker phone
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I'm curious about this as well actually.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
You can change them both actually.

MM audio tab

I just finished messing with the MM audio tab, increasing the Multimedia Level, Volume Level, Handset Level, and Headset Level up to 4. And OMG, i never heard any Android phone get this loud in my headphones. To the point my ears hurt :o.

The only thing that freaked me out was went the phone booted back up it was throwing an error 67. It went away and all is good. Totally happy with this hack, thanks OP.
[HTC EVO 3D] |Melvin|:
the codes are different , tried it and no go, so im looking for how to get to the screen you guys get when you dial the code on the dialer.. .the codes are different for the sensation but i dont know how to get the codes for the sensation... thats the most important thing im missing

[HTC EVO 3D] taygutta:
Ok I was wondering why I couldnt get this started.... would have been nice if this was in the directions... lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Antagonistt:
I have seen several ways to do this...adding ports until the phone shows up and just randomly adding com 7. This is the proper way to do it:

Connect the phone, go to device manager, look under modems. You will see the phone. look at its properties and it will show the com port it's on. Go back to the software and enter that port...simple, quick, exact.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saleenfiend:
OK.. I'm on Win XP SP3... no luck?

I've downloaded sync and installed. I put phone into diag mode and connect. When I pull up QPST phone is not found. I check Device manager and only have what's listed below... No Category for Modems.

The only thing related to the phone is Android USB Devices and under Other Devices > HTC DIAG which is just illuminated with a ?

Also, I am unable to enable any ports.

Where is this?

Double click on the phone listing in the window and it'll open a new dialog window for that phone. The "Read from phone" is a button in the lower left of that window.

Thanks for the reply.

Still having problems though.

In the QPST Configuration box, I see what I believe is my phone. It is using COM10, which I checked. Weird though, it's not my phone number that is listed.

When I double click this I get a box that pops up, titled "phone properties."

The only button I can check is "OK", which is on the bottom, in the middle. I do not see anything stating "Read only."

when you crank up the volume, does this create any distortion?

Anyone have anything weird going on where their dialed calls make no sounds at all? My phone randomly started doing this and toggling DSP fixed it until I toggled it back on again. Would a factory reset undo the changes I made in QPST?

What was the stock setting for the sounds? Where they all volume 2?

I tried this and after setting the volume level to 3 I get this error

Then the phone restart to a black screen. After that I have to pull the battery to get the phone to work... but I have no sound on either speaker.

[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
that error is normal. you get it when you change almost anything. unless you messed with something else in qpst you shouldnt be having the problems you are having. change the levels on the sounds tab back to 2 and see if it helps but in reality those settings have nothing to do with the phone starting.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
stock levels on the sound tab is level 2. if you changed anything else you shouldn't have.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
acting wonky how? those are strictly sound settings, nothing else.

Just "FYI" ~ when I went to the Sounds tab, the defaults were as follows:

Earpiece Volume: Level 2 - Speaker Beep: [blank]

Speaker Volume: [blank] - Ringer Volume: Level 2

Key Beep: Level 2	- Speaker Ringer: [blank]

Since all three regarding "Speaker" were blank, I left the existing ones alone and set the three blank ones to Level 3. There was only a small increase, so I went back and set them to Level 4.

NOTE: I had already installed the DSP Manager, which also only increased the sound minimally; however, after I went back and set the "Speakers" to Level 4, then went back to DSP Manager and tweaked some settings a little more, I can now finally hear things without holding the phone up to my ear the entire time! :)
