This worked however if your phone is not on COM7 then check to make sure what one it is on then add that one. Also make sure the phone is plugged in while adding the port otherwise it will error and not allow the addition.

BTW- thanks for the tip as i had this problem but being unfamiliar with qpst had me stuck.
[HTC EVO 3D] saywhat4118:
Just attempted this and i believe i flashed it correctly. Went back and read from phone and it saved the volume to level 4 across the board but im not hearing any difference though...???
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
I believe it doesn't work because I dont hear the difference.. once we get root we can fix this problem or if HTC hears their customers about this low volume.
[HTC EVO 3D] derricob:
Got my speakers up to level 3 now

I had to use QPST Configuration, click on the “Ports” tab, click “Add New Port”, uncheck “Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only”, and then click on my port (which was Com4 for me). After that Service Programming showed my device. Everything worked great after that. (Don’t worry if you get a read only error, after clicking write to phone. It’s normal)
[HTC EVO 3D] redtrk:
Works perfect!....... Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] poopymonster:
activate HTC Sync on your phone first

Make sure you activate HTC Sync on your phone first.

1) activate HTC Sync on your phone, then HTC Sync window will appear on Win7 showing that they are connected

2) dial ##diag# on your phone

3) go to QPST in Win7 and click on Service Programming

4) you should see your phone instead of OFFLINE

5) remaining steps refer to OP

[HTC EVO 3D] NYSprintGuy:
As an evo 3d user I'm a bit confused in the mods needed to get my evo 3d up to where at least my EVO 4g was.

I'm tempted to just revert back to my evo 4g

Will this fix, or future rooting match the evo 4g loudspeaker in terms of loudness?

Thanks,

before asking this question i check but didnt fine it, so i tried adding port com4 or even 7 after pressing ok i still get error, if im doing it wrong how do i find out my port number and to i have to fill both blanks? port number n port label? thanx
[HTC EVO 3D] crisra:
Hi I follow the instructions and the qpst return me this error:

The phone returned a failure status during the read or write

And the first 7 pages of the qpst are blank and the phone is on no service status.

Please help.

I just had mine on all 4. But I heard some distorting and it got me scared lol. I'm going to put them all on 3. Very big improvement though.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Check in device manager on your computer. Look for HTC Diag (I believe....going from memory of 48 hours ago). Right click properties and it will give you the com port, then just put that into both blanks.

No Change For Me!

I guess I am one of the ones it does not work for -

I have the settings set to the max of 4 and there is NO difference in volume when I play back a movie.

I double checked the settings by readin from phone and they are set as 4.

I was able to change my Banner Settings Okay!
[HTC EVO 3D] jfenton57:
I have done this 4 times and it appears that the settings take as when I re-read it they have changed from the default "2".

Absolutely no difference in the speaker volume even when it is set to 4 unfortunately.
[HTC EVO 3D] Amd4life:
worked GREAT, win7 X64 I had to up mine to 4, but now the speaker is great

is it normal for the phone to automatically reboot itself after the information is written to it?

Also, I changed mine to four as three had no noticeable change.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Works great here. I started at level 3 and left it there because it was MUCH louder than default, and I'm too scared to try level 4 =p

I wonder why it only works for some people though...
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
I just used an app called volume+, easy to use and did the trick.
[HTC EVO 3D] dwaynesbusiness:
It did not work for me also.

I followed the directions and the tool allowed me to change the settings under the sound TAB but it had no noticable effect on my phone. I wonder why it works for some and not others. My phone is not rooted, but I thought it did not have to be. I checked by reading from the phone and my settings are at level 4. I know others have it set to 3 and there is a noticeable difference for those people.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Eh, the problem for me isn't so much volume but distortion at volume. Everything is EXTREMELY sharp.

This **** makes me mad I have the right driver and all just can't get it to reread device so I need help plz
[HTC EVO 3D] vgupman:
It would be awesome if somebody incorporates audio fixes into a custom kernel to allow for tweaking of the default settings of the audio driver. I'm thinking like the voodoo sound fix that supercurio made. It really made a huge different on my fascinate!
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
That would require root/S-OFF.
[HTC EVO 3D] vgupman:
Which is on the way. Just wondering if you guys think that would be doable with this phone. Anyone here good with music/sound?
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Just wait and see. When S-OFF gets here, this forum will uncontrollably blow up. I'd say at least 1 or 2 new ROMs and kernels per week. This locked bootloader is just the dam that's stopping the humongous pressure of eager developers everywhere, and the moment it gets blown away, everything you can imagine will most likely become possible.

Your post gave me chills bro. I'm a recovered alcoholic but I don't think I'll ever recover from my flashaholism.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Yea except have voodoo sound bc I wanna try and work a port but it only seems to be for the wolfson chip set or what u would call audio hardware and mainly in Samsung phones. But in the transformer pad the galaxy tabs and the lg optimus 2x and g2x so idk if its gonna happen for evo even tho that's probably the biggest thing I miss on epic
[HTC EVO 3D] MTKnife:
I'm not sure what's going wrong here, but I can't install the HTC Diag driver. The phone is on Diag mode, the device is showing up in Device Manager, but whether I use "Browse for driver software" or "Have disk", it tells me that the 64-bit folder (I'm using Windows 7) doesn't contain a proper driver--and unlike for earlier version of Windows, it won't let me force it to use the "wrong" one.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Check out my thread I just posted, Its an in-depth guide to QPST

[HTC EVO 3D] MTKnife:
Yes, I started with your thread. It doesn't work for me: the driver will not install. Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] MTKnife:
OK, I got "Have disk" to work when I selected "Show all devices"--it would finally let me force an "incompatible" driver (for "HTC USB Modem"). I was able to use UPST, except that it gave me a "read only" error when I tried to write to the phone. However, on reboot the values appear to have been set properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Yep Its normal to get that Error, just ignore it, I think it has to do with us not having S-OFF yet, don't worry about it though, everything is fine and you're good to go. Gratz, dont forget to hit the thanks (:
[HTC EVO 3D] ssdave:
I followed the instructions but when I get my phone in diag mode then start QPST service programming it does not show my phone in the list.

Should my phone be in debugging mode? Should it be connected as charge only? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[HTC EVO 3D] chucktownscitch:
Under the sounds tab, after clicking Read from Phone, only 3 of the 6 options have preset volume levels.

Earpiece - 2

Speaker - blank

Key Beep - 2

Speaker Beep - blank

Ringer volume - 2

speaker ring - blank

I am going to try to change them to 3 to see if this helps out my volume issue, but my question is do i need to change the levels that are blank to 3 as well? Why wouldnt they already have a volume level set like the others?

EDIT: Ended up changing all the levels to 4 and even in the MM Audio tab everything to 4 there as well... Applied, listened to an mp3 stored on phone as well as a youtube clip. Reverted all levels back to 2 and re-played both mp3 and youtube clip and Im not really sure if I notice any difference =/ Kinda had a feeling i'd be one of the ones not noticing any difference.

Haven't tried the volume+ app yet but may eventually give that a try. Guess I will just leave all the settings back on 4 for now.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
I only changed the ones that already had settings, I left the others blank. Try setting them at 3. Its a slight difference, but noticeable.

[HTC EVO 3D] strongsteve:
Is there any way to get the ones that were originally blank back to being blank after a change? Since I changed all mine, I get variable sound while placing a call.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
You could go back into QPST and set them back to 2. Which is the default.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinc3stylez:
he means the settings that were blank. theres no selection to make it blank again after you have entered a value
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
Yeah, the blank ones default to other settings so putting.them all at two.would essentially be the same as they were stock.

Boom... Headshot! from my L96A1
[HTC EVO 3D] dlbaker1179:
i had did this volume mod, then today i did root and recovery then i flashed rom, all setting were back at start, does this happen after a rom change or was it maybe to do with root

[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
They'll go back to default after a ROM or bootloader change.

Correct, after either they will go back to stock. Its not hard to change them again though.

As long as the drivers (for the CDMA EVO 3D) work on the GSM version, everything else should work too.

So my answer is, it should. I don't see why not.

This has nothing to with the rom on your device, it should work, it would not hurt to give it a shot.:)

For those that dont notice a difference I recommend just buying volume+ or use DSP manager to increase volume.

[Acer Iconia A500] thatdudebutch:
Ok guys, here's my setup. I am a a ROM and developer and have yet to be stumped until I received this tablet from a user.

The tablet is stuck in a bootloop, no clockwork recovery, only stock, and will not respond to adb. Flashing various imgs all warrant the same response: A quick progress bar and then back to the stock Android/exclamation point screen.

After hooking up a keyboard via USB 2.0, I can move around within stock recovery. I can wipe data and cache. When trying to flash via external SD like it prompts, I get bad volume for /sdcard. I have formatted, diff SD cards, etc. Is there anyway to recover? Willing to donate to the cause.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Have you tried manual flashing via external SD card with image in it and then power on decvice with Vol- and power button held together?
[Acer Iconia A500] orion421:
Is this going to be yours or are you trying to repair it for someone?

It might be fubar without adb and no ability to read the sd.

I would assume knowing you that you have already dl'd the acer drivers
[Acer Iconia A500] orion421:
Dude I didn't know you were a Rom. Bet you get flashed a lot huh.

On a serious note, TDB is worth helping if someone wonders into this thread and knows how to help, pm him or something. Dude is a damn good dev and all round helpful guy. He'd be a welcome addition here.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I have no experience with these things, but a good starter point would be to explain exhaustively what exactly happened before this issue arised. Were you installing a custom ROM? Did the tablet just reboot in the middle of you doing something? Do you know if it has overheated?
[HD2 General] Lobowolven:
Hi,

I'm a little stumped with my HD2 at the moment, as I cannot get it beyond white screen at boot up. I was advised to run HSPL4 and install HSPL 2.80 etc, as any other time I try and flash a radio or anything, I get the update fail message.

So I connect my HD2 then run HSPL4, select 2.80 HSPL, it runs without error then says it's complete then reboots my phone to white screen. I run the bootloader and nothing is different. This is what is displayed;

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

My phone did fall from my lap when I was on a plane, but since the headphones were plugged in so it landed on it's head on carpeted floor, so I'm worried that there could be a hardware fault here.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
I know that you want to get it back to a running state, but what operating system was on your phone?

From what you've typed you possibly had WinMo6.5 1.66WWE ROM or an equivalent custom rom.

The easiest thing to do is to go to HTC's website and download the ROM from there (you need your phone's serial number). If you plan to stay with WinMo then download the latest ROM. If you plan to run WinPh7 or Android then it is best to download the 1.66 or your operator's 1.72 version.

Put your phone into bootloader mode, then connect to the PC.

Run the downloaded file. Just tick the box about activesync (as bootloader bypasses this requirement).

The phone should take about 10 to 20 minutes to completely flash. Don't worry if nothing happens in the first 2 minutes.

The phone should be working. If you want to flash it with a custom rom or change it to WinPh7 or Android or SDAndroid then go and have a good read on here.
[HD2 General] Lobowolven:
I'm afraid I get no reaction whatsoever. As soon as I to to update, my bootloader screen vanishes and I get a loader bar appear but no HTC lettering and nothing happens. It just sits at 0% no matter how long I leave it for. If I try and load it via the SD card, changing the file to 'leoimg.nbh' then it run the update but it results in a fail.

:confused:
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Did you download the ROM from HTC's website using your phone's serial number? If your phone is a T-Mobile (UK) HD2 and you try and flash the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM then you will get a failed flash, as the phone is only entitled to T-Mobile (UK) ROMs - 1.48, 1.72 & 3.14.

The SD Card should be smaller than 8GB and FAT32 formatted. Using an 8GB or greater SD Card will give a failed flash error message, even if you used the correct ROM.
[HD2 General] Lobowolven:
I formatted my original 2GB SD card as FAT32 then tried again with the official HTC ROM from the site and still no joy.

Could it be a hardware fault?
[HD2 General] Lobowolven:
Sorry, that was the OS.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
What ROM did you download from the HTC website?
[HD2 General] Lobowolven:
It was the RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe one.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
When you formatted the SD Card, did you do a full format or the quick format? You should do the full format.

This may sound stupid, but the LEOIMG.nbh - you did rename the

RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.1 5.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

to

RUU_Leo_S_TMO_UK_3.14.110.1_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.1 5.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.zip

extracted/unzipped the RUU_Signed.nbh.

Renamed the RUU_Signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh

Copy the LEOIMG.nbh to the root of the SD Card.
[General Questions and Answers] tannerw_2010:
Hey everybody

I've been thinking about taking a computer programming class this semester to help start my knowledge in developing apps for android. My question, is which language tool would be the most helpful and why? Java, or C++? Right now, the college I am thinking about taking it through only has Java as an option (I want to take it online). I'm at the point in my college career where I need to decide a major because I have all of my general ed's out of the way, and I think taking a cheap class that might benefit me in multiple ways might be a good thing to do. Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] DanBroChill:
I'm new to programming but I do know a little bit I guess...someone may have a better answer. As I understand it, Java is based off C++ and based off of C. So there won't be much of a difference between the two, but either you will need to know some amount of C/C++ for the Java course, or they will teach you enough C/C++ for you to understand Java. I don't know how important it is to know all of the basics though, since the common languages today have much easier ways of coding basic things.

If it were my choice, I would have to decide if I wanted to learn the basics of coding, and then learn all the shortcuts that today's SDK's provide, or just learn everything current, and have a harder time understand how some things work.

Ironically, I've been learning Objective-C, despite owning only Android since the G1 first came out. It's my first programming language ever (although I do have background in HTML/CSS and what not, but that doesn't really count). I've got a good grasp on how everything works, but I never had quite the understanding of how everything worked until I started learning more about basic C. It may be the same for Java, in fact I imagine it is to some degree.

My opinion, take C/C++, and just learn a new syntax later.
[General Questions and Answers] tannerw_2010:
Thanks for the reply! I will plan on taking C/C++, but that brings my to my next question: C or C++? I'm assuming C++ is just advanced C, so it would make sense to take C first, correct? Or am I missing something?
[General Questions and Answers] tannerw_2010:
I guess you kind of answered my question in your post already :). Looks like basic C should be the way to go for starters!
[General Questions and Answers] gcogger:
If your ultimate goal is to use C++ and/or Java, I wouldn't recommend learning C first. Java and C++ are object oriented languages, and C is not. If the first language you learn is C then it will simply teach you an approach that you'll have to 'unlearn' when you start on one of the other languages. A long time ago, C was often taught as a stepping stone to C++, but these days it is regarded as a bad idea that makes it harder to learn an OO language later.

I also don't see any benefit in learning C++ before Java, unless you really want to learn C++ for its own sake. Java is probably easier to learn than C++ so, if your real goal is to be a Java programmer, I'd start with Java.

Please don't get the impression that I've got anything against C or C++ by the way. I've used all the languages mentioned (as well as C#) and, if anything, prefer to use C++.
[General Questions and Answers] arvinghost:
so whats the advantage of becoming C++ programmer over Java Programmer and vise versa ?

how about Visual basic?
[General Questions and Answers] Kronia:
The platforms that are used by each. Java is a very versatile language, and is used in almost all mobile platforms. C++ is mainly used for desktop and stand-alone applications.

Truthfully, it doesn't matter which you learn first. The concepts and theories are the same in both, the only thing you have to re-learn is the syntax and specifics.

That being said, don't learn visual basic first, it is vastly different from the other two.
[General Questions and Answers] gcogger:
I'm sure that Google will provide lots of info on Java vs C++ comparisons, so I'll only mention a couple of things! C++ can be more powerful and versatile, but is easier to screw up. It also provides better performance (since it is a compiled language) but, these days, the speed of the code is often less important than the speed of data access or comms. Both languages are theoretically cross platform, but in practice Java achieves that better than C++ (usually). Java has a better set of standard libraries - in C++ the libraries for things like user interfaces are usually platform-specific. On the other hand, C++ (and C#) gives you access to Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE and the .NET libraries, which are still by far the best IMHO although, clearly, are pretty much restricted to Windows development.

In more pragmatic terms, I've found both languages to be in more or less the same demand by employers. There's a lot of old legacy C++ code out there, however, so I'd say that, as a Java programmer, you've a better chance of working on nice new projects rather than maintaining ancient software! To be honest, I don't know which way I'd go if I was starting out now - sorry :)

Oh, and I can't think of a single reason to learn Visual Basic - it's totally different to everything else, not as powerful, and not much easier to learn than the vastly superior C# or Java.
