Helmi Apache WM6 verizonguy edition (early devel)

[Robtao]

I gotta say, this forum (especially Helmi, Verizonguy) has helped me arrive at a pretty butt kicking phone. I found a hack elsewhere for either more phone volume or more bandwidth, or both. My phone sounded pretty tinny before. Maybe those more experienced than me can add any cautions, or tips, but it is working great for me.

["Here's the hack, obtained [from Gornn] and other forum threads. Use at your own risk, this modifies a system area, and could cause unknown side effects. If I run into anything wierd I'm going to set it back the way it was. Basically I think this forces the phone to use more bandwidth on calls, something Verizon doesn't likely encourage. But my earpiece is definitely louder, a few times it was a little too loud.
