Speaker volume (quiet then loud) - Page 6

well if it is a safety feature they added, it is poorly done. for example when playing bubbles, every now and then it will quiet one of the pops, not all of them, just one every 5-6 or so. so as you stated it being a safety feature, then it would be quieting all of them...therefore, if it truly is it is poorly coded.

i would completely understand them having such a feature, but code it properly so that it is not sporadic. i still believe it is a defect

^ yea if it is a safety feature....i don't know what good does it do if we can't hear our email alerts and such...hmmmm

I notice it most when I play a song from the music tab, it place nice and loud and clear, then after about 3-5 seconds it goes low..I really like the loud and would rather be able to turn it down from the initial volume.....

^ thats a little different...what we are experiencing is it plays soft at first then gets louder.

with the sprint version if you take out the orange screen it gets a little louder. but thats your call. and yes the code could be fixed a lil bit.maybe in the 6.5 roms? or custom roms?

yeah i sure hope so. at least it is not a hardware problem, no blown speakers for us!

I am pretty sure this volume issue has an easy fix by hacking the registry
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>SoundCategories there are entries for "Attenuation", "InCall...", "Ring", etc.
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds there could be something..
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Volume there are a few possibilities too.
I hope someone who knows the registry settings will share. I had a similar problem on my last phone (Samsung Omnia) and it was a simple fix changing one value in the registry.

Just an idea!

i looked around through:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>SoundCategories
and sure enough if you look in the sub folders, you'll notice some have "InitVol" set to anywhere from 1-5. It changes when going through folders.

maybe its "initial volume"? i do not know enough about reg to try this, nor do i wanna blow out my speaker, but under my "Ring" folder the InitVol is set to 3. Maybe changing it to the max, 5, would fix the problem for the ringtone. sound logical? i'd do it, but like i said, don't wanna f somethin up...

yea doesn't look like its a hardware prob since my speakers work great and loud.

hoping to get a reg fix or an update soon. if not o wells.

InitVol is linked to the actual volume setting, in increments of 20% therefore 0-5 in the reg, damn.
