But I've never managed to understand something. Does every single omnia 7 have the "low volume cut-off" problem ? Meaning that if the volume and loudness of something you're listening to (game, sound, music) drops under a certain level, the speaker goes silent. It's like you're supposed not to be able to hear under a certain dB. And it's annoying as hell.

While developing my game I was thinking this happened on every phone, since I only had a couple of omnias to test with (and the emulator) but then found out other phones don't have it (apparently ?). But is every single omnia affected by this ?

Also modfying those values doesn't change anything I've tried almost every combination
[Omnia 7 General] MrXBob:
Yes but what can I do with WP7RootTools exactly? What is the purpose? Is it just like unlocking iphones/androids to get full access and install third party software?
[Omnia 7 General] scottie7:
OK, I understand that I have no way to change volume gain.

Thanks.
[Omnia 7 General] chenjy:
WP7RootTools is a 3rd part software to access files and registry on Samsung WP7 machines. Other softwares are required to unlock the phone and install softwares.

Well,

Like a cripy one i have erased the hexacode in Sound Tuning by 00 00 00 00 00 ...

Youhou now no more sound via back speaker neither headphone only phone speaker...

I have found this hexa-code but still not ok

1 1C 74 4 23 9D 95 12

1 1D 7D C2 22 5F 5F 12

I haven't developper account so i can't use xda wp7 root tool...

My Omnia 7:

OS Version: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware: 2424.10.11.1

Hardware: 3.15.0.4

So i m looking for anothers hex-code before PUT THIS IN THE TRASH (or try maybe HARDRESET before, if the phone is still in one piece after his trash-travel lol) !
[Omnia 7 General] Biggaz:
Had my Omnia 7 for less than 2 weeks and loudspeaker just packed in, no sound at all!! Anyway, found a page on Microsoft's site:

(edit: no links allowed for newbies, google "class gain attenuation" - should be first result.)

Its about attenuation classes on wm6.5, so this may be what the first number is all about, i.e 2, 5, 7. Will try and find out more and experiment.
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
Hi guys,

keeping this thread alive as I know its still an issue across the board.

Here is my experience with the issue:

I have changed my device gain for 7 (profile that's set) from 1200/-500 (default) to 1450/-250.

Reading through the thread seems there is mixed ideas on the upper and lower value's effect. I have kept the margin the same and shift the values by 250 to get the minimum closer to 0.

The result: I just did a quick walk about to test it outside. I stood next to a truck and beside a loud air vent and the sound doesn't cut off no more (you can hear it shifting to lower sound but doesn't completely cut off like before). I will keep this setting and will shift my margin closer to minimum=0 if it still annoys me.

other sounds such as notifications have increase ever so slightly, so its not the heart stopping blasting of sound. Its actually better this way too.

Also if anyone uses these settings, can you please post here so we can see how the results turn out.

Cheers

Here are some specs for my Omnia 7:

OS version: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware version: 2424.11.2.3

Hardware version: 3.15.0.4

Had same issue with low call volume and headset volume. After reading through this thread in detail, I did some experimentation and this is what I have found.

As reported by upalluottolo, I could confirm the mapping of the preset values as:

2 = front speaker

5 = headphones

7 = back speaker

Playing around with the settings, it seems like there are limits to what is configurable through them. You can impact the volume to some degree but at least I was not able to get everything working as I would have liked. For example, ideally you would want similar level of loudness at level 15 when using headphones or back speaker since both are controlled using one volume setting. I found I could not achieve this by playing with the settings here. No matter what you change the values to, I found the back speaker to be way too loud. This has always been the case since I got the phone.

Anyways, here are the settings I'm using:

front speaker (2): max=1600, min=-600

(Making the values higher had no impact for me. Speaker still isn't loud enough compared to other phones I've had but at least better than before.)

headphones (5): max=2200, min=0

(With normal earbuds, now I get an acceptable volume at 30 when previously it was soft even at 30. If I use noise isolation type headphones (e.g. Shure brand), I get a comfortable loudness at 15 and extremely loud at 30.)

back speaker (7): max=0, min=-1700

(Not sure this had any impact whatsoever. At level 1, it's still not at soft as it should be. At level 10, I get what I would consider a loud tone level for a ringer.)

Also, there seemed to be no reason to have to reset the phone every time you change a setting. I could "set" any of the settings and test it without a reset and it was working fine. Also, no reason to do "Start" either. That just seems to turn on a delayed feedback loop that can be used to test the audio level through the speaker after changing settings.

Hope these volume glitches get fixed with Mango!
[Omnia 7 General] andycted:
I'll try it very soon, thanks.

Sadly, no change with Mango though
[Omnia 7 General] andycted:
Haven't seen no update. What's the version and what's the particular issue (low/high volume, cut-off, etc ?)
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
I had both the robotic voice and the in-call volume issue where in certain noisy areas, the in-call volume drops to lower than an audible state causing the call to sound cut off 80% of the time.

Samsung released an update via zune (mentioned quite alot this week) which has bumped my details to the following:

OS:7.0.7392.0

Firmware rev #: 2424.11.2.3

Hardware rev #:3.15.0.4

Radio sw version: 2424.11.2.2

Radio hw version: 0.0.0.800

Bootloader version: 5.2.1.4

Chip SOC Version: 0.36.2.0

There is another omnia7 thread which talks about this new update. I had to flash back from mango to stock rom to receive it.

goodluck
[Omnia 7 General] OndraSter:
Did you run the Samsung bootloader fix (XX KC3) in past?

I flashed UK Retail ROM and did through Zune update from 7004 to 7008 and then from 7008 to 7392 (no Chevron unlock) and I still have:

Firmware revision number: 2424.10.12.3

Radio software version: 2424.10.11.1

Bootloader version: 4.12.0.9

they are from 2010 (the radio software), while yours are from 2011.

I will try digging into the KC3 update and run it tomorrow when I get from work.
[Omnia 7 General] andycted:
Thanks for the details. I'm still at the certificate update version and I also reverted to that after trying mango. (tells me my phone is up to date !)

However, my issue was mainly with the low volume cut-off from the loudspeaker, not in-call (while not very high though)

I haven't followed much the updates lately as I'm concentrated in dealing and bashing the app hub team :)
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
I did run the KC3 french update previously to fix the robotic noise but that did not fix the in call cut off issue.

I flashed my phone back to the stock Optus rom (was on mango with a German rom) to receive this new update because It seemed no one with Mango and the beta zune could receive the update from zune.

From Optus stock rom, I just plugged my phone into pc and zune updated it from 7004 to 7008, then 7008 to 7392.

Based on my experience, I can say that the new Samsung update has been packaged into the 7392 update. The phone details I have now are from the 7392 update, where as others that were on 7392 prior to the update would receive the individual Samsung update via zune which aligns them to these specs.

Hope this helps!

Cheers
[Omnia 7 General] OndraSter:
Well the UKstock ROM contains some older radio, don't know how about the kc3 update, have to check that out. But like I said, I haven't received any radio update, npr bootloader update. I am still rockin' those from last year.
[Omnia 7 General] emx2500:
FYI, I was running OS 7.0.7392.0 and I was still having problems with in-call volume and headphone volume. I did the tweaks described in my post above and it improved things for me. Now my only real complaint is low bluetooth headset volume. Haven't found a fix for that.
[Omnia 7 General] andycted:
eureka ! seems I finally managed to turn the volume DOWN hehe

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the Mango update I did yesterday, but this is what I did:

- diagnostic device gain, leaving 7 in the first textbox, pressing get

- it was 0 and 0. I set -1100 and -1100

- press start and stop

- do not reboot

this has the result I looked for:

- volume at 1/30 is extremely lower now !! (thanks god)

- the cut-off when music is very low (for example hearing 'nature sounds') still happens, but the relative volume is so low it matters a lot less now.

so for everyone who is looking into this...
[Omnia 7 General] mallik_raj:
Turn up fron speaker voulme.

I wanted to turn up the in call volume of the front speaker.

I have tried multiple combinations given in the thread.

Here is what worked for me best.

Under device gain enter the value 2 and click get,

You will see a default max/min values (It was 1600 and -600 for me)

Increase the max value to 2400 and check if the volume level is okay for you,

If not try increasing it to 3200 and verify again.

If it still does not work, try 4000 and see if it works.

The combination that worked best for me is 3200 and -600.

Hope this helps.

BTW I use max min Value for Profile 7 as 1200 and -800.

This way it is loud enough and the minimum volume at level 1 is low enough.

Hope this helps.
[Omnia 7 General] andycted:
actually am I wrong is thinking that the only wrong passage I did in the past was rebooting the phone ? It seems the settings are lost after a reboot
[Omnia 7 General] m0shef:
Hi

I am new to this and I purchased a Samsung Omnia 16GB unlocked version. I have followed this method:

Increase Headphone Volume

Note: Make sure your headphones are plugged in first

•Enter the phone dialer

•##634#, tap Call

•Enter code: *#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#

•Tap: Get under the Device Gain (max/min)

•For "device gain" leave number 5, set 1100 (max) and -1100 (low)

•Tap: Set

•Verify that AUDIENCE.CFG is ON

•Tap: Start

•Tap Home

•Restart your phone.

•After reboot, enter the same menu and just tab get to verify the settings

Now my problem is that after restarting if I plug in the earphones I can notice the volume output is louder but as soon as I disconnect the earphones and if I play a music file through the speakers (the speakers sound really disorted). Is there a permanent fix for this or something that actually works? I notice the Audience.cfg goes back to off when I go to check.

My details:

[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
Do you have wp7 root tools or a reg editor?

goto the following:

hklm/audio/streamclass/output/9

and change IncomingCallGain to 65535 or 52428 or lower

and if you have issues with notification being crazy ass loud, goto the following:

hklm/audio/streamclass/output/1

change the incomingcallgain and incallgain to 65535 or 52428 or lower

Save these and then restart your phone and see how it goes.

I haven't tried these as fixes for reducing volume, but I have used these to increase volume. If this works, do report back to let everyone with the same issues know :)

good luck, have fun!
[Omnia 7 General] m0shef:
Dont have wp7 root tools or reg editor.

So do I do the headphones trick first then apply the fix using the wp7 root tools / reg editor.
[Omnia 7 General] m0shef:
I think the reason why the rear speaker goes louder after the heaphones trick is it becuase of the NoDo update?

My speaker works again, but is playing a sound like a cricket. When I reboot, the sound does not work again. Right now I am trying to put another firmware using USB Image Downloader. But the error is appearing on the COM port, since I changed the USB port and does not.

Can anyone help me?
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
If you havent installed the driver, do that first. Then when leaving the downloader in focus connect your phone, that will trigger COM5 or whatever and it will let you flash.
[Omnia 7 General] pabloce:
I've done that. 3x already installed the driver, but always the same problem occurs. I will test on another computer.
[Omnia 7 General] pabloce:
I got in another notebook, but the sound is still broken. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Omnia 7 General] ballajalla:
Send it off to service and let them fix it.

I bought the phone in the U.S., but I'm in Brazil.
[Omnia 7 General] ricep:
It's strange, but when I updated to Mango with a new rom, changing the values to raise the headphone's volume didn't have any effect.

Don't know if it helps anyone, but I had to change the three settings to get the desired volume, and now the numbers are completely different.
[Omnia 7 General] TheMathMan:
Hi all,

I used to own an Omnia but it was so quiet that on the car stereo I had to have the volume up so high there was a lot of noise.

With the fix outlined in the first post does it degrade the quality? I'm curious to know as I currently have the Venue Pro which is great audio and LOUD!

In my opinion, it was the only fault with the Omnia.
[Omnia 7 General] early81:
I used the 16000 setting but the sound is too dirty now,, does anybody know which was the standard (default) settings? I only remember -500 in the last field.. and in the second field??

is the default setting 1200 , -500 ? I even tried that but every time I make a call the audio volume becomes another time louder... please close this post it is not safley for the phone.. how can I return back m do i need an hard reset??

Who is interested in the previous volume (calls) the setting is good for me

i don't have the right software, or i'd try. my approach would be to take a real logo from google images, and then use a flare tool and capture different points to make it look like the stars were twinkling.

bigger star gets bigger twinkle.

maybe the "carbon fibre" background could do a sweep too. like a glare move or something.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I've got a problem that's not related to GPS but locations. When I'm at home, the weather widget says my location is Sweden, however, Google Maps finds almost my exact location (two streets away or so). If I take a one km walk it finds the location and says Stockholm. I tried re-installing the locations software with no luck. Maybe my phone doesn't like my flat? :S
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
LOL....I don't think location app is displaying weather....
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
If you read what I actually said I clearly state that it's a problem with the weather widget (which naturally does display weather)
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I have a different, but frustrating issue:

On the clock widget where you also can see your location and the weather:

I live in a town called Geldrop in the Netherlands, which always showed on the clock widget, including the weather corresponding to this town.

Now since a couple of days (do not know when exactly)...it just says: 'current location'...when I select the widget, bring it to the left bottom on the homescreen to edit it, I cannot select Geldrop anymore, it says it does not exist.....

My girlfriend has a DHD as well, and hers still says Geldrop.

Now, I do have flashed Leedroid, kernels etc, etc, so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it...but is anyone able to point me in the direction of the solution?
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
The problem I'm experiencing only seems to appear when I'm in Stockholm, nowhere else.

I had the same problem with it saying "Current Location" before too, both on the DHD and my old WM. It solved itself eventually. However, the reason Geldrop doesn't "exist" is because it's not added in the built in database that comes from HTC. Because of this, you'll only see Geldrop when it's your current location since it gets the name of the location via AGPS and then looks it up on Acuweather.com. There's a program to edit the database for WM which I used to add Opitter in Belgium with, but I don't know if there's one for Android.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
This actually makes sense ;)

I have now chosen Eindhoven, as it is next to Geldrop and the weather is very similar ;)
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Yes, but the fact that your girlfriends phone finds the location while yours doesn't is very strange since it's the same device. I will report this tomorrow.

Another thing that's strange is the weather animation for fog. On the weather tab it says FOG with black letters all over the animation while this text is not visible on the clock widget. I asked HTC about this and they said it's all as it should be. Seems strange to me though.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
It is strange....it is not a big issue, but would like to see Geldrop, rather than Eindhoven.

When you say 'will report this' what do you mean?
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Contact their dev support.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Okey, so I mailed HTC today and they told me to remove the ip for the Proxy and port from the API, which seemed a bit strange to me, and to my disappointment it only made it worse by saying "Connection failed". Yey!
[Desire HD General] zerdesht:
I am having the exact same problem, my original htc weather widget shows only "Sweden". This happened since the upgrade to 2.2.

I'm pretty sure the weather information is correct though. Since I've compared it to other weather apps and widgets. I've switched to beautiful widgets temporarily (well for a couple of months now), and there it shows even the parts of stockholm if I move around. Right now it's showing Fruängen which is correct.

I remember reading about some problem with the htc weather widget long ago on the modaco forums when 2.2 came. I don't think it's fixed yet (at least from HTCs side).
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Yeah. That was my argument too when I spoke to HTC, but they said it's Googles fault even though Google maps finds my location correctly. They didn't accept it as their fault and therefore they didn't even file a report about it to the developers.

Badly handled HTC!

I went to a small village for Christmas and since this time, my location in the widget is locked at this village.
