i tried it out and it indeed does work BUT i noticed that it starts a call loud and if i press the volume up button the volume drops alot and i cant get it back up till i start a call again.. Im sure it has to do with other settings, we just need to decipher what each line does. Once that is done someone with skills might be able to make a program that can increase or decrease those registry values by a given amount since its all mathematical..

Thanks for the find!.


But here's what I did different:

Before I closed soundtester.exe, Using Resco Regeditor I checked the reg values.

I went back one level to where it hows the key folder that holds these keys.

Using the sylus (easier this way) pressed and held down until the dropped down menu popped up.
Clicked EXPORT, and exported that folder and is contents into a reg file.

I closed everything down, and went to My Documents and ran the Reg file to import the values back into the reg.

Did a soft reset. Everything defitely seems louder!

Beats writing those values down.

Good trick!

I just updated my ROM to the leaked one and need to check if I have to do the hack again for volume.

P.S. Has anyone figured out how to make the ring start off loud instead of slowly increasing in volume?

ring tone adjustment that comes standard on the Omnia i910. When a call comes in, the ring tone is muted a bit and then goes to full volume.

The following Registry Change fixes this so that the volume is full volume on the first ring.

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\AttenuationCategory

Change value to 1

You need to use a registry editor like Resco Explorer or other registry editor (like CeRegEditor), to make this change.

After the change, wait 20 seconds and then do a soft reboot.

Note: This apparently does NOT work on the i900 version of the phone.

Other settings for this value are:

0 is no ringtone volume
1 is flat ringtone volume
2 is increasing ringtone volume

The weird problem I have is that I apply the settings with a reg file and then as soon as someone calls me, the volume on everything goes back to ridiculously low levels. REALLY annoying

Great thread (only wish I'd seen it before I spun my wheels on the stickied non-verizon thread).

My microphone volume is fine during regular cell calls, but way too low during Fring (VoIP) calls. Are the settings for microphone volume called "MVOL"? If so, I assume that the settings for regular cell calls are these:

Menu > Talking > Handset
RCV(02) -3
RX(16) -3
MPBST(22) +12
MVOL(0E) 0
M2BST(10) +0
TX(08 ) -6

Where would would I find/adjust the settings for microphone volume during VoIP calls? The only other places I see MVOL are under the earjack and speakerphone settings, but I'm just using the basic handset "normally" for VoIP. Thanks in advance for any help/clues.

OK, So it has been Verified (thanks to BitterBastard at the samsumg-omnia.org site) but, as always, do this at your OWN RISK!

Also, once again a reminder, you CANNOT use the dialpad codes on the Verizon Omnia as the rest of the world is able to do easily.
This method is a bit long but it works:

Here are the steps:

1. Launch an mp3 player (tested with S2P and the Omnia's media player)
2. Launch SoundTester.exe
3. Minimize SoundTester, launch your registry editor
4. Using the task switcher, switch back to SoundTester
5. Play with the SoundTester Normal->Headset settings until you like the sound. You may need to restart a song each time you change the settings in order to hear the difference (I did). For what it's worth, the only setting I could actually increase was the values of the last value, I forget the title of it (R-something). That did, however, increased the volume.
6. Without closing SoundTester, switch over to your registry editor and look at HKLM\SAMSUNG\AUDIO. You should see a HEADSETNORMAL key. Look in there and you will find some DWORD entries (a bunch of numbers and letters). To add more detail, the only value that changes in the registry values at HKLM\SAMSUNG\AUDIO - HEADSETNORMAL is the 3rd value (0x12) and the rest of the values remain unchanged. I also changed the HANDSETNORMAL values.
7. These are the entries you should record (write down in paper). Write all if you want to be extra careful.
8. Close SoundTester (It will remove these entries, phone goes back to low volume)
9. Open your reg editor HKLM\SAMSUNG\AUDIO - HEADSETNORMAL and HANDSETNORMAL and change the 3rd value (0x12) to the value you wrote down.
10. Wait 20 seconds, do a soft-reset and test. The sound should've increased.

In soundtester.exe, I changed my values from -12db to -6db. Less than that, I didn't notice any difference. You may wish to go higher but be careful or you will damage your phone.

Let me know if this works for you. And say *thanks* :) to Verizon for making this Volume change 20 times more difficult than it should be.


SRS WOW is a way better solutionj. its simply amazing. but this is still a good post

Just so everybody knows, you don't need to use a registry editor for this.

If you simply launch SoundTester.exe (it's in your Windows root), you can change the values for all of these settings; just MAKE SURE you select MENU>APPLY after you've made changes on each page, otherwise, the new settings won't stick.

I have tip for anyone on an i910 (Verizon) Omnia, and this may only pertain to WM6.5 ROMs, which is the OS I'm using. Like mentioned before, open soundtester.exe and open a profile, then choose "cancel" - this sets everything to default *EXCEPT* for the first choice, DAC, which is sets to the maximum, and causes *MASSIVE* distortion. Simply change that from "12" to "0" or "-4", or whatever sounds good, then adjust the last choice, RVOL, restart Windows Media Player or whatever you're using to play music, etc, and see how it sounds. Every time you choose "cancel" it will set the DAC to 12db and it will sound like your headphones/car stereo/whatever is going to blow, just remember to change the DAC to something much, much lower. I'm pretty sure all I did was set DAC to "0" and RVOL to "-12", and left the others at default, and the sound is absolutely beautiful, and actually a lot better than SRS WOW.
