Donno about you guys .. but my TyTN .. on speakers .. even with the lowest volume .. SEEMS WAY TOOOOOO LOUDD ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Yes, on speakerphone, but we're talking about the earpiece volume here, I think...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SINC:
PLEASE! if you can extract this file I'll like to try it out.

My earpiece of the tytn is SSSHHHIIIIITTTTEEE! its way to soft for me also.

I'm sorry your having the complete opposite problem that some of us are. I wish i could offer a solution for you but if you can offer a solution to some of us, that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers and thanks ;)

I can post the CAB's somewhere if somebody else would like to take a dig around inside of them?

[edit] Just realised the Orange Extended ROMs are on the site already -

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
I'm using a Vario II with the same problem.

With speakerphone turned on, even when it is set to the absolute minimum, the speaker screeches....it's that loud!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Hmm, can't see the CAB for AdjustAcousticProperties in the list anywhere, unless I'm being blind...

Anyone help? I'd love to increase the earpiece volume on my Tytn
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andyf1:
I presume it's a .exe file buried inside one of the CABs. not sure how you go about decoding the contents of them though as all the files are renamed.

[edit] Just been looking around inside the CAB's using 'Wince cab manager' and nothing appears obvious. I'm sure I'm not dreaming... maybe the application is buried in there somewhere but the name isn't obvious as I have definitely seen it displaying something very close to 'SetAcousticParams' or 'AdjustAcousticProperties' during the execution of a contents of the extended ROM.

If I get time tomorrow I'll do a backup and then do a hard reset to check.

Andy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Andy,

Great, many thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andyf1:
Just did a hard reset - First thing it does when running the Extended ROM is at the bottom of the screen it says "Running SetAcousticParam.exe /Run..." which takes about a minute to run. Then when it installs the other CAB's you see "Installing ...... " at the bottom of the screen instead. Not sure where the exe is coming from now to be honest as it *doesn't* appear to be in the CAB's.

Andy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Hmm, interesting. Don't suppose this file is buried somewhere in you windows folder heirarchy is it?

Thanks for helping out here!

Isnt there a reg key u can change the quality level and other things for speaker and speaker phone ,

I rememmber it on my htc wizard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Samu [FIN]:
Hi!

I have totally opposite problem; my original handsfree is too quiet when listening music via Media Player. Every sound setting in the device is at maximum; Media Players volumebar is set to 100%, I scroll devices overall volume to max and slide that little knob at the HF to max. Yet it aint as loud as I would like to. And no, I´m not half deaf or such.

Allso while listening music without HF, I would like to have the device more louder.

Any hints about good 3rd party equalizer programs out there? Like such that the WinAmp (for Microsoft XP) EQ is.

Karzi, yes theres these regkeys which enables one to adjust the quality of the audio, but not it loundness. So I keep searching for programs what would allow to adjust even music loudness, ie equalizers. Anyone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andyf1:
It *appears* to be... but I can't seem to find it. Found a script called preconfig.txt in \windows which seems to govern what happens on the first powerup after a hard reset, which contains the following:

LOCK:Enabled

EXEC:\Windows\SetAcousticParam.exe /Run

EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable

EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\Orange2006.tsk

CAB: \Windows\MP_CVSDcpl_20060503.cab

CAB: \Windows\MP_MMS3.2_Hermes_OrangUKWWE_060601.CAB

XML: \Windows\PP_Cerfiticate.xml

XML: \Windows\PP_Generic_Conn_Setting.xml

XML: \Windows\PP_Others_Conn_Setting.xml

XML: \Windows\PP_others_UXC.xml

Hide:Enabled

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\autorun.exe

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

Looks like it does loads of stuff before it executes the extended ROM. Still can't find the exe though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SecureGSM:
\windows\SetAcousticParam.exe

this is hidden file system file.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] andyf1:
Hmmm. Maybe this is executed on *all* Hermes and it has been a wild goose chase. Anybody who has got a Hermes that's not an M3100 care to comment?

As an aside... Before my experiments I backed up my device using Sprite backup, and verified the file... Upon restore it gave me a million and one errors so i've had to go back to a previous backup. Not too happy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Sorry to hear this has caused you hassle :-(

I can't find this file on my TyTn as a hidden file in windows. Someone care to post it and we can see if it changes the volumes?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] joehood:
Cool. So um... how do we do fix this?

I'm having the same problem with the really loud earpiece. Think it's affecting the loudspeaker as well.

Off-topic a bit... but I have some info that may help some people. I had problems with my mic, sounded like I was in a tunnel apparently. Not being able to face a few weeks without my SPV, I risked it and opened it up myself. When I lifted up the main PCB a black rubber piece fell out.

Basically there's a rubber piece that sits on top of the mic to create a little rubber room for the sound to bounce around in before it's picked up! Mine had fallen off, through dropping it a couple of times I think. It's not very well secured, so if you have problems, grab that phone screwdriver and your bravery, rip up your warranty and let the surgery begin :D

mic = good

now just need the speaker to be sorted.

What a fabulous age we live in, the top of the range phones on the market have problems with 2 small things; microphone and earpiece. Tut!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
OK, I was dumb and found the SetAcousticParams files in my windows directory- there's a ton of them! I tried running a few with no discernable effect. So looks like we're stuck again. Anyone technical able to help us out with decoding what these do/how they work?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Hmmm, having just been away in the UAE for a week, I was hoping for some answers to this speaker too *soft* problem (at least on my Tytn) as the low earpiece volume is now officially driving me mad!

Any ideas.... anyone.... pleeaase??

thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PPCNUT:
Well on my Jasjam I find the volume is great. It is reasonably soft on the lowest setting but if I need it loud I can just turn the volume up a few notches and it is loud enough for me to be able to hear even in a noisy environment.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetechnogeek:
Hmm, maybe I should send my Tytn in for repair- although I don't know if the issue is with me, the phone, or the fact it's got some sort of "mustn't turn up too loud in case we damage the delicate hearing of the europeans" setting on it, much like the early iPods had ;-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] webmeup:
hi there.

I have the same problem! :(

Mine is Dopod 838 Pro.

Initially I had HT637 serial, after 1 week the speaker became TOO LOUD!! (both for speaker-ear and speakerphone mode). Then I got a replacement unit (HT639).

After 2 weeks the same problems also happen to my newly replaced unit.

Then, I went back to the SISTECH (Authorized Distributor for Dopod brand here in Indonesia), they changed it into HT640, with the same issue.

The funny thing, when I did a hard reset the volume seemed to be 'okay' but after a few days the volume became too loud again. Yes, the volume is already at the minimum. So I tried to hard reset again (with no luck still).

I even flushed the ROM with the one from dopod website - results: SAME!

I'm so happy with this phone (except for this PROBLEM). I've been asking ppl to lower their voice if they call me, and they say they speak in a normal volume.

Maybe there's a registry solution for this?

*at least I know I'm not the only one with this 'weird' volume problem *
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ISnowmanI:
The opposite here

I have the opposite problem here. I own an Imate JasJam and the ear piece sounds very low when I am in a call so I tell people to speak louder so I can hear. I am following your posts but seems that no one has reached a solution yet. I will search and will post it as soon as I get one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugsbug:
i've just got a vodafone vpa compact III and the earspeaker, is as described here, too loud.

isn't any solution yet?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kneeslasher:
VPA here with speaker too low!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kennyboy:
I've got SetAcousticParam in the config file on my vodafone branded hermes - and this too is far too loud on button pressing, earpiece, speaker etc - even on lowest setting.

Has anyone tried removing SetAcousticParam from the config text file and hard resetting?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] BorisTheSpider:
HTC Tytn

Hey guys, checked my HTC Tytn and within the windows folder there is no SetAcousticParam.exe file. Checked the ExtROM config, not part of it (ver 1.18). So have you tried a different ExtROM or just remove it from the current ExtROM??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] insanenyc:
thats a first
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] guyroy:
just purchased HTC TyTn 4 days back.

i have somewhat similar issue, speakerphone volume squeaks, screetches,

ppl tell me they cant hear me, so i tested by calling from HTC to my Nokia6680 and while listening on Nokia I noticed that i had to keep HTC close to my mouth when spoke, if i took HTC few cms away from my mouth and spoke, my voice broke and wasnt heard properly to the other party on NOKIA.

so i guess MIC has a problem aswell.

i read some registry hack on htc wiki pages, but dont seem to find that page now....

experts help pls...........
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] martinlong78:
I have the same problem too. People generally can't hear me at all, but sometimes it's perfectly fine.

I've made sure the rubber gromit is firmly in place, tried different roms etc. It's almost like something turns the volume on the mic down.

I even wrote some software to adjust the mixer value for the mic, but there are no hardware mixer devices on the hermes!

I've also tried playing around with setAcousticParam.

I've tried AGC on and off. It seems a few people have had this, but nobody knows the solution.

When it's quite it affects all apps - phone, voicedial, notes. When it's fine, it's fine for all.

It's most frustrating, as I have an ebay phone, so no warranty :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lepic2019:
Hi Guys

As a sound engineer, this portion of my hermes upsets me the most. Here is a list of problems:

1/ In call built-in ear piece is a touch on the quiet side.

2/ In call speakphone is way to loud and person on the other end complains of too much noise - i.e. the mic gain seems to go up when you put on speakphone

3/ In call HTC handsfree kit has way too much mic gain. Again people on the other end complain that the background sound is way too much and I'm way too loud.

4 The speaker for music playback is too low. Lower than the speakphone when in a call. So I know it goes louder. (I wanted it loud enough to play on the tube!)

The only registry setting I can find is one for setacousticparam, it has one control and it's not clear what it does. Anyone know?

It seems that running setacousticpararm.exe will not necessarily fix this as it's probably wrong in the first place!

Any ideas?

Les.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hardcore:
The main problem is with the SPEAKERPHONE: Its too loud to the point of making it unusable. The other side cannot hear you because the phone automatically mutes (shuts off) the mic when the volume from the speaker is too loud to prevent "feedback" (high pitched screech caused by looping of sound from speaker to mic to speaker...).

I find that if your ROM does NOT run the SetAcousticParams, then it helps and the speakerphone works well sometimes if you set it to minimum volume. I say sometimes because for some networks, the other party's volume is extremely loud so even at minimum volume its too loud and causes the mic to shut itself off and the other side cannot hear you.

Now if your ROM does run SetAcousticParams correctly, then the volume of the speakerphone is boosted, which makes it worse! Even at minimum volume the other party is too loud for most calls, rendering the speakerphone completely unusable.

SetAcousticParams seems to read values from around 100+ CSV files and program some parts of the phone's ROM to adjust the speaker and mic volumes. From what I can see, it only does this once during the first boot after a hard reset. Making things more complicated is the fact that SetAcousticParams wont run properly unless its the first item in the preconfig.txt file.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jws3:
Hardcore,

You sure get around! I wonder if CRC implements the /Run switch in SetAcousticParam.exe? I wonder if it is needed?

Perhaps you should collect this issue into a single thread. It would be easier to track responses and possible solutions. I found you in three threads so far with the same issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chrisofsweden:
Any news anyone? I've also got this problem that both speakerphone and built in ear piece is way too loud. Sounds like people screaming right into their mics when they talk to me.

Try installing your stock rom again using SP Flash tool . If you get IMEI error then use this app to restore/edit your IMEI (Get your IMEI no by removing back panel of your phone) ,

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
I have a new M8 and, for the moment, I want to keep it stock, but rooted. Is it possible to fastboot boot TWRP, flash SuperSU for root, and still be capable of receiving OTA updates, since TWRP isn't actually installed? I'm coming from a N4 and N10 where I didn't care so much about official OTAs, so I've never tried this.

Also, do I still have to unlock the bootloader first in order to use fastboot at all? And does having an unlocked bootloader prevent OTAs?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, you can't root with a locked bootloader. That's the whole point (well, mostly) of a locked bootloader.

Also, its my strong opinion that OTAs have no place on a modded/rooted device. It won't work anyway, the OTA will check for root and fail to install. Or even if it did install, it would unroot the phone.

If you want to root, just do the whole deal, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, etc. You can flash anything you want, including the awesome array of custom ROMs, or stock rooted ROMs for other carrier versions (which usually get released soon after the OTAs anyway).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
Totally makes sense. Knowing me, it won't be long before I feel constricted with a locked bootloader (especially if I can't root}, but just wanted to see how "virgin" I can't keep the phone while I break it in. Plus I read a recommendation to use fastboot to boot into TWRP as an alternative to flashing it. But if I have to have an unlocked bootloader to do even that, I suppose I should just install TWRP and be done with it, like I'm used to.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure what will happen if you try to boot TWRP with a locked bootloader. Maybe only one way to find out :)

But that would be purely academic. You can't flash SU or SuperSU, since you need write access to the system partition to do so (and therefore an unlocked bootloader), regardless of whether you can boot TWRP or not.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
Great, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'll just wait a week or two, see if I'm happy with the phone and, if I am, just do it all. Thanks a lot.

This is ROM Settings Backup, a tool for saving your ROM settings and restoring them after flashing (similar) ROMs and/or wiping /data.

You put really much time in setting up your StatusBar, NavigationBar, Lockscreen, Privacy, etc and want to make a clean flash of your personal ROM? No problem, just do a backup of all your settings and restore them after flashing.

CAUTION: This app only works with AOSP based ROMs!

You want to translate this app into your language? Download the strings.txt, translate it and upload it to me. Thanks :)

[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
OK...so far so good...Im on CyanogenModX for note2 (n7100) The app works ok...but I think maybe you can add an option to save or restore config per rom....like CM11, AOSPA, CarbonRom, C-ROM, MIUI....etc...cuz not all the roms have all the options...if you can make an option to name the backup...so If I want to make a CM11 backup....I can named CM11backup.....

Thnaks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Flextrick:
Thanks!

It's pretty hard to get the current running ROM name, but I can add an option to type in the name of the rom. I think this is a good possibility, isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] Cocolopes:
That would be great...what happend if I try to import a system config from CM to PA? I mean...that will work? I will try this soon but Im just curius...
[Android Apps and Games] Flextrick:
ROMs typically are using the same flags for settings, so if you import for example CM Settings to AOSPA the settings for the same features are being taken over to AOSPA. Those features which are on AOSPA but not on CM are just stock (the stock values are being taken).

And the third scenario: Feature which are present on CM but not on AOSPA are saved but will not be touched or anything else. So there should not be any issues..

But that's just my sight, can vary somehow.
