I got a reply from HTC on how to increase max volume. I have tried the first test and I believe that there was some improvement. I did not try a factory reset as yet. I copy it below.

Kindly try the below test:

1. *#*#3424#*#*

2.Select audio and press run

3. Please tap each items below then press “Play”to test the corresponding Audio path.

-> Speaker

-> Receiver

-> Headset

Please back up your data and perform a factory reset:

Performing a factory reset via settings

1.From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.

2.Tap SD & phone storage > Factory data reset.

3.On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.

Performing a factory reset using phone buttons

If you can’t turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.

1.With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.

2.Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.

3.Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

I am using a Sony in-ear headset 6-23000 kHz, 100 dB (costs abt 20 eur) with PowerAMP music player which -probably you already know that- has 10 bands equalizer + pre-amp and a separate/additional bass & treble adjustment features = result is perfect for me, absolutely satisfactory.
[Desire General] landwomble:
Some kernels are quieter than others. I noticed t straight away on the t mobile rom when I got it as I was using line out.

Try an alternate rom or an audio mod kernel.

Dsl Manager is a much better option for EQ as it works on all apparently, can have different defaults fir headset/bluetooth or speaker and uses less battery as it works on the dsp directly.

Think you need to be rooted to install though.
[Desire General] NeonNero:
It's interesting to see that it's not just me, even though this thread has been dormant since early December.

I'm using the Revolution HD custom ROM on my Desire HD (it was about the first thing I did when I unboxed it), and the volume can be low when using a headset - the calendar alerts in particular are barely audible (I was even in danger of not noticing the alert for an upcoming meeting today). It's really annoying.

As reported by 3722 and shamarshall a few replies back, the key-in provided by savvakis didn't work for me either. The sequence just blanks out after I enter the last *.

Has anyone else made any progress on this issue?
[Desire General] RonSykes:
I've read through this and many other posts on this issue and the consistent trend is it seems to be an issue of perception.

Hearing is very different for each person. I for instance have perfect hearing in a normal environment with great perception of timbre and tone... however if there is any background mechanical noise I'm suddenly incapable of distinguishing any sounds. for example I can hear my music on a crowded train with a lot of background noise but I can't hear my music on an empty Bus.

People will report different experiences with sound levels so you'll never come to an agreement on whether or not its good or bad.

What would be good would be an option, like many other handsets have, to set the audio levels for the speaker and headset. My old Omnia (urrgh, what an awful phone) had a system setting to change the amplifiers gain.

I tried DSP Manager but my phone just hung on boot after I flashed it. A simple gain setting would be duketastic!

BUT WAIT!!!

I just found Volume+. If you have Android 2.3 or up try this h ttp://androidaudiohacks.com

also discussed here: h ttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517745
[Desire General] rafaelwo:
Is this Volume+ realy work on your device? I have desire s an I have a Volume+ but I am not sure if it changes anything.

As for *#*#3424#*#* code - it launches hardware test application and does not change anything. U can only verify if i.e. speaker is working or not but u cannot adjust it.

Am using runnymede AIO RoM and its has a MOD installed called xloud and trust me its very loud lol. Not sure where or how you can install the mod tho.

Its the first thing I noticed with this RoM when got phone call.

Why not get a portable headphone amp like the fiio e6?
[Desire General] rafaelwo:
I am not using headphones. The main speaker for calls is a problem.

Try to flash this zip. It may fix your low volume problem.

BUT: Make a nand backup before flashing! Nobody is responsible for any crash/fc/error.

So, please, everyone who has a problem with their volume, contact T-mobile via Twitter. They seem more on the ball than the telephone customer services. I'd prefer not to change my ROM and go through official channels. My twitter name is rowlando if you want to see my messages to [MENTION=259357]Tmobile[/MENTION]UKhelp.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skky91:
i have a friend who has the nokia 97 and he showed me an app where he can use the phone as an FM transmitter, kind of like an ipod. Is it possible for the TP2 to do that? im thinking not because he antenna for the radio is in the headphones and not the phone itself like the nokia, but could we develop an app that can make the TP2 have an FM transmitter with the headphones plugged in to access radio?

I think it could make for a great and useful app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cjm1979:
The hardware needed to make it an Fm transmitter is not in the Tp2 and so this is not possible. Ive seen plug in devices that transmit whatever comes out of the headphone socket so this would be your only option i think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pimpmyfriedl:
i already use such a transmitter for my TP2.

but it isn't useful.

the transmitter need his own power supply and the TP2 will not be charge while the transmitter is pluged in....

Mic is crap, for talking inside the car very bad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skky91:
damn =(, this would have been great to have. Thanks guys
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ctbear:
Im using the exact same thing for my car

Good enough for listening to music on my phone...maybe that's all you want :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
try a bluetooth a2Dp carkit fm transmitter... wow thats a mouthfull..

Anyway.. search for one of those on ebay. I've used them for years. The unit itself plugs in directly to a power outlet in your car. You use the bluetooth on your phone to transmit stereo audio to the unit which in turn broadcasts the audio to the car stereo. I like this cause.... well no wires. The units also have a "carkit" function so when a call comes in it routes the audio over the stereo too and uses a mic built in that you speak through. Pretty clear I have to say.

They range anywhere from 15 dollars to 60 dollars on ebay. I went with a lower end one and once this breaks (though I've had it for about 3 or so years now) I'll be going with a more expensive one. I've found, at least with the one I have, that when there is no audio actually being transmitted to the device the sound that is played through the stereo in the car is similar to that of an old fax machine, all be it a lot less annoying and loud. When I first started using it I used to just run a loop of white noise from my phone in windows media player and then use the built in audio player in manilla to play actual music... also really handy when driving and using tomtom or something on the phone. ALSO really handy when listening to pandora or slacker radio :P

Long story short.. look up A2Dp fm transmitter and you guys will be set!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cd85233:
For just listening to music in the car nothing beats the direct wire connection of a 3.5 mm connection, IMHO. But, if you would like a full featured alternative I'd go with an Alpine X10. It has BT for streaming music and phone calls. Also has a direct Ipod connection, which is it's main use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mbudden:
I've heard nothing but good reviews from the Motorola T505

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dik23:
Yeah I use a T505. It works well but is let down by the TP2s bluetooth stack. However music works fine
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] incucrash:
I've bought several FM Transmitters, not for my Tilt2 but for different cars without AUX input....do yourselves a favor and just get 3.5MM Stereo AUX Inputs if that is the sole purpose of your phone is to listen to music in your cars.... You can get a new radio with aux as cheap as $100-150 installed...

I sold all the FM transmitters i've bought, the only nice ones cost just as much as a radio installed, and you're not getting full sound quality, plus driving out of town sucks when you hit the biggest radio station of that town, just so happens to be the frequency you selected.

If it's for another purpose, my apologies..

p.s., you can mod them up to sound better on some, you can add antenna (just buy small gauge wire or an actual antenna) - search for your unit to see if it can be modded to cover more range.. I ran 12 feet of wiring all around my Honda Civic when I was in the FM Transmitter phase..

Goodluck
[Touch HD General] jrmccann:
Hi All,

Just wanting some advice/experience on the MAXIMUM or "proper" size of music folders that best suits our HTC HD?

I have a Topix 3.5.10 Rom, and a 16 GB HC card...I loaded about 8 GB of music on my card, and the HTC Sense music player was not really coping with the number of files...I used to have about 1 GB on it and that worked great.

Does anyone know what "limit" there is, or do people put more/less on depending on the ROM etc?

Thanks for your thoughts

J
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
There's no "limit" as such but as the device reads all music files no matter which directory they are in on your card when you are using the manilla/sense music tab, it takes longer depending on how many audio files you have. Not exactly the best design by HTC but oh well. So it's best if you have a lot of music to remove that tab and use a dedicated music player software instead or even the windows media player. I also keep my music files around the 1gb mark as this seems to make it work ok, and it's plenty of music for me to play for a few days.
[Desire General] stevie_a:
Hi new to forum and to the world of the smart phone ( so please be kind )

I picked up my new phone yesterday HTC Desire

so far so good but one thing annoys me that i cant fix

The phonebook is rubbish as it the first name of the person is not the first word in the phone book

as in :- John Smith Mobile is :- Mobile Smith John

is there any way to switch this round ??

Thanks
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Funnily enough, I was just about to post some issues about the phone book and you beat me to it!

With regards to the swapping round of first/last names, I think your only option is to go in and manually change each entry. I've had this before and in GMail (I think) is makes a good guess what is first and last name. Sometimes when syncing between devices and the cloud, especially on the first time, the devices don't agree what is first and what is the last name.

Though I hope I'm wrong and you don't have to manually change everything.
[Desire General] stevie_a:
I am not very good with phones (but I am learning )

I also hope we don't have to manually change as i have over 200 people on my phone book.:(
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Believe me, I feel your pain. I'm decently versed in how syncing contacts can mess up as I've done it to varying degrees on past phones.

I've had all contacts duplicated and had to sit there for the evening deleting contacts. Over dinner, deleting contacts.

I've had to go in manually and correct contacts and change around details.

Probably the biggest piece of advice I can give you or anyone, is:

Before you do anything major, even syncing with a new device, backup (export) your online contacts!

And then:

When you've got your contacts nice and sweet synced between online/mobile device/whatever, backup your contacts!!!

You get a lot more leway for the future!
[Desire General] Cronnie:
I had to spend about 40 minutes sorting out my contact list the other day.

Glad I took the time to actually go through and do it, as all my contacts are linked and organised properly, definitely worth doing.
[Desire General] stevie_a:
I have just done the same now

how do you put a photo to the number?
[Desire General] Cronnie:
Just replied in your thread, but will stick it here too:

People > Tap on the name > Edit > Tap on the camera icon in the top left.
[Desire General] stevie_a:
thanks I'm getting there...:D
[Desire General] Cronnie:
Will take a few days to get used to it ;)

Does anyone else have a problem with the some of the contact names 'resetting'?

I originally copied over all contacts from my SIM, and have since linked most of them up to their Facebook profiles. I have set the display name to be the one listed on Facebook, and this works perfectly for the majority.

A couple of contacts keep going back to their name on the SIM, have no idea why...

[HD2 General] Starfury:
Just thought I would share my experiences to see if it benefitted others.

I have a Vodafone UK HD2 which came with 1.43ROM.

I used HSPL1 and extracted the NBH from the official WWE 1.66ROM and applied that to my handset and I've tried a couple of radio's and am now on 2.09.51

With the above setup I was getting quite a bit of instability still where I would sometimes have to reset the phone a couple of times a day. Calls would sometimes crash the phone, etc it just seemed buggy and instable but just about useable.

Then I saw HSPL2 and didnt think much of it until the other day when I started to look at it and noticed you could pick different HSPL's and spotted 1.66 in the list. Brain says to me you've got 1.66ROM and 1.42SPL. Back on the Kaiser the wrong SPL with a ROM could make it unstable... I wonder...

So I proceeded to install HSPL2 and selected 1.66HSPL option. Since then (2 1/2 days) my phone has been stable, quick and has not needed a reboot except for once with the data dropout issue (which I reckon is Windows/SenseUI App related).

Also battery life seems to have been extended as well.

Its like a completely different handset to me as I was started to get frustrated with it before this but now I am happy again.

Any comments are welcome.
[HD2 General] pastypacker:
Hi,

It's Darrin from the VF forum, interested to try the 1.66 HSPL, can you plop it ontop of the the existing one, or do you have to re-install everything from scratch?

Any chance you can point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Darrrin
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
sounds interesting thanks for the post starfury

makes sense aswell

at the end of the day youve always been booting a phone with a 1.66 system with a bootloader made for a different system.

i would try this right now but im using my warranty rights for an exchange atm but will try soon =]

thanks!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yes you can change spl and it won't affect your rom. download hspl 2 from rom development section, run it as administrator and choose which spl to instal.(choose one with hspl not 0000 of course)
[HD2 General] Starfury:
I've been running without HSDPA for a little bit and recently switched it back on and the device locked up twice in a matter of hours. Switched it off again and its fine again.

I cant imagine that Vodafone UK havent implemented HSDPA properly so maybe there is an issue with the HSDPA protocol in the firmware?
[HD2 General] poulosjr:
the 2.051.08_3 radio will not work on the telestra hd2, using it on USA AT&T 3.5G, will it?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
How is that even relevant to the thread?
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
I have a couple questions... perhaps one of the members of XDA can help me out...

1. I prefer to have my ONLY my music in my music Tab.... but there are other files that pop up... How would i go about to Delete them... (I already deleted the 2 albums that came with the HD2) which folder do i look?

also a side question... i want to delete some of the default stuff that came on my hd2 sd card.. how would i go about to erasing the shortcut from my phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] giorgina351:
I am still a noob, searching already for days and not having a solution. I would be grateful if someone can guide me:

I try to teach myself to cook (a ROM). As an exercise I dumped the new S2 Europe stock rom with Ervius visual kitchen 1.82 in order to immediately recreate it back (with PP = 18 and "real wm6.5 AKA" checked). rebuilding and flashing is OK, but Rhodium is stuck on the logo screen. I also tried different radios - (91 original & 77) with no results.

By the way, i did this exercise with the previous stock rom ("S") and it worked.

Can someone give a hand?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] twopumpchump:
you need to recmod(module to file) NTFconfig.dll, you will find it in the notification manager pkg ;)

we now have a new forum section called Chef Central, you should go read some there and if you have any more cooking questions just ask there we will try to help you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] giorgina351:
Wow, what a quick answer! thanks. I am just about to go through the "chef central". Please allow a quick question: I was under the impression that "opening" and "closing" the same stock ROM will require no modifications. Why am I wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] twopumpchump:
honestly im not sure why, maybe the dumping tools are dumping it as a module when its supposed to be a file :confused: all i know is that if you recmod that file it should boot :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] OndraSter:
It's not problem with dumping tools, it is problem with platformrebuilder, it has problems handling this module, just as some others (try reversmodding phcanImages in dialer;)). Not sure why, without bepe we can't solve it any other way, than using it as file.
[Hero CDMA General] mar122999:
HTC Hero CDMA Sprint. Updated to Fresh 2.0d. Decided to try out the new radio image also: 2.41.05.02.03. Everything worked fine after ROM flash and radio update. I started to have a problem when I decided to do a PRL update also. Right after the PRL update, my phone doesn't recognize towers (no service). It shows PRL version as: 27392.

Any idea on what happened. I tried searching everywhere for a similiar problem/solution, but couldn't find any. I also tried to Update PRL and profile. Neither work. Please help.

EDIT: Under network, it shows "Searching for Service", 0 for "Signal Strength" and out of service for "Service State". I also tried re-flashing both the radio img and ROM over again. No luck. Restarting doesn't fix either.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
that does seem strange. be sure you are not roaming and flash back to fresh 1.1

as the prl is in the /radio partition the rom can not change it. on fresh 1.1 update your prl, and profile. that should fix it. good luck
[Hero CDMA General] mar122999:
Going to try a revert to Fresh 1.1. I am not roaming BTW (in my house that has service). It has 'signals bars' with an X. Thanks for the fast reply btw ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mar122999:
Reverted to Fresh 1.1. Booted up with signal bars and large X over them... no service. Tried to update PRL and profile. Neither worked. Error code 1012.
[Hero CDMA General] dynamicpda:
What is Fresh 1.1? (n00b here)

When I had error code 1012 and no service, I had to hard reset to the phone's factory ROM, and do ##786# - Menu - Reset - MSL - OK and then after reboot do profile update. Key is doing the reset from the factory rom.
[Hero CDMA General] mar122999:
MSL might work I am hoping, but believe I would have to call Sprint for the MSL #.

Think 1.56 RUU would work? How about manually changing the PRL or downgrading the baseband?
[Hero CDMA General] Roman G:
Try flashing flipzmodes latest ROM, I know for a fact it automaticallyupdate your PRI!

Nevermind sleepy, your talking about your RPL!
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
you need to do the MSL code fix ...that should reset everything and fix your phone..
[Hero CDMA General] riddlebox1980:
I had this as well.

First look at the DamageControl 2.1 R05 or whatever thread, his newest one. If you look on the first page it will have a download for the latest prl file, which is 60663, unzip the file and put it on your SD card. I then called Sprint and told them my phone started saying no service. After the normal stuff the guy said he wanted to send me to the advanced group, because he didnt just want to wipe my phone. Now when I got to that group the lady told me to try ##xxxxx# and some other stuff, and I thought hrmm sounds like an MSL number so I asked her what it was and she just said ohh thats something called MSL. After all of the stuff she tried didnt work they said they would send me a new phone since mine was under warrenty. Since I had the MSL I went in did ##PRL# and entered it, told it to look at the sdcard for /60663.prl and the update happened and my phone is back to normal. Now you can just manually do the update and not worry about it using the rom
[Hero CDMA General] nbroneobi:
i had the exact same problem yesterday. i was in chat with tech support for over 2 hours tryin to figure it out. what your are going to have to do is reprogram your phone like its the first time you got it. but program it manually. they can walk you through it. get your msl number from them. its a pain in the but but after all that when you go to program your phone. i flashed fresh 1.1 and everything was fine. it was stuck roaming because the prl was so low i did a prl update and everything went back to normal flashed back to fresh 2.0d and everything works fine now.

didn't even think to try what ^^^ did. so go ahead and do that probably save ya more time then i spent lol
[Hero CDMA General] chippillie:
Fresh 1.1 is a Rom I had this a while back 1012 is a data error! That came from a call to Sprint. You need to update the profile on a 1.5 Rom I used Gumbo 1.5c. The device service works better on 1.5.If you check the PRL did update. After talking to Sprint tech support that is what they will have you do.
[Hero CDMA General] VoXHTC:
This happend to me too, I went into settings, changed it into roaming so I could get a signal and updated the PRL. worked fine.
