Personally I find one of the bad thing in this phone is the low volume of the in call even though it seem they are already set at the highest level.
I just want to share, there is a way it will help improve or sound better. There is a setting under the phone app. Click the three button on the top right of the screen, click under setting...scroll down till you see other call setting, there is an option called hearing aid compatibility. If you have this one, i feel the calling sound is better than having them off.
Hope this help.

Does anyone know how to increase the volume with voice commander? and also the ringer volume. I can hardly hear the voice commander and I cant hear the phone ring...
I have the same problem
I tried several registry settings, but the ringtone volume is very low now and can't set it back to original even if setting microsoft voice command to not to speak the incoming caller id...
Anybody out there... help !!!
I think I figured this out by accident. I'm using v2.17 and have a Cardo Scala 500 headset.
To make this simple, I'll refer to the volume controls as left and right; the left side being the pda volume and the right side being the ringer volume.
When not on a call, both volume controls are visible. When on a call, the left side disappears. This is probably by design. Unfortunately, the right side volume control appears to do nothing for me when I'm on a call. I found if I turn up the left side volume way up when I'm not on a call, the Microsoft voice is very loud and almost distorted when I listen through the BT headset. But when the call is made, volume returns to an good level and is clear.
When I first got my phone, I kept my left side volume low because I didn't like hearing all the click-click-click when using the stylus. I could barely use the phone because the volume through the headset was so low. No matter what I did, I couldn't get a good volume through the headset.
Now I keep the pda volume very high so I don't have to fumble with the phone to boost the volume right before answering a call. Calls are clear even if the Microsoft voice is a bit distorted and loud when setting up the call.
I was hoping this might be fixed in the newer ROMs.
Thanks for the quick reply 100Tbps.
But unfortunately the problem i'm facing is not exactly the one you had. My problem is that the ringtone volume on the phone has reduced after installing MS Voice Command (which I want to keep). Initially I had set it to speak out the caller name while incoming call, but that reduced the ringtone volume and the volume of the announcement of incoming caller was itself very low. Then, I tried fixing that by changing some registry values, to no avail.
Now i've disabled announcing of incoming caller name, and still ringtone volume is very low. Can't seem to increase even if all the volume sliders are up at max....
Still in a fix... don't want to hard reset and install everything again...
there is a reg edit for it. i found it in a universal forum or something
Thanks a lot grinny11.
I've installed the file. Would love to see what settings the cab file changes - just to learn a bit... i'm a noob here and a wanna be power user
Anyways, all i need to do now is to wait for someone to call me :lol: don't have a landline or alternate phone.
Will update here if problem solved.
Didn't work
maybe will have to do hard reset after all
thats wierd. it works for me. volume of voice command is just as loud as any other ring tone
quick question..
i have never used voice commander before and i could not find the current info page.
Can anyone provide a link to a page with all it can do? What else can you aside from calling contacts? does it work well? im guessing its not free
thanks

thanks.. im trying voice command now... im installing to storage card so i hope that isnt a problem.. does this program have any user interface? i noticed it didnt add anything on my programs list
strange.. i press the button that is assigned to voice command.(its the hold mail button by default)
i hear a quick noise but the mic button does not show up on the top.. when i use file explorer and manually open voice cmd program, then the mic shows up for a few seconds..
was i supposed to install to main memory?
edit.. i reinstalled on main memory and im still getting the same problem.. i just hear a quick noise but nothing happens..
edit2.. figured it out.. by default i maps to message button. changed it to record button and it now works
Hi all,
I notice that after pressing the video call button, the screen brightness will turn on to 100%, but not going back to my original setting (30%) after ending the call or just press the end call button.
So each time i have to go back to hte setting to tune down the brightness, is there somehow a registry tweak or what to fix this
I had the same problem too...
Were you able to make a video call? in the US?
Here in the US too. My co-workers and I have the Tilt. We havent figured out a way to make Video calls yet. Let us know what software and network you are using.
same here
is this an oversight or a feature?
it's annoying for me cus i use video calls pretty often..

When I am in a call, usually to my other half, I use the jog wheel to adjust the in call volume and the volume level varies depending on the person I speaking to, I adjust it the volume to the lowest setting during the call yet her voice still takes my head off.
Is this a problem with the phone in that the in call volume can't be set below a certain level or does my girlfriend talk freakishly loud.
Either way I am going to lose the hearing in my right ear if there isn't a fix to this. Either gagging her or a ROM update/Registry setting to change.
I have a Vario III.
Anyone else suffer from this?
Some calls for me are Freakishly loud some are barely audible on the highest setting. I sometimes get calls that have background noise that kills me and even on the lowest setting it doesn't help to stop the high pinched squealing. This phone acts weird about the volume the lowest setting is not very quiet like you say.

I have the same, but thats not my phone problem.
i had a conversation outside, and i could almost not hear the other person. the sound is really soft.
i turned up al the volumes that i could find. are there any settings like in a smartphone to get more volume through your speaker during a conversation?
i'm having the same problem too..
Any help??
Maybe a solution (duh!!)
on my smartphone i could press the volume up and down buttons during a call. but on this phone, as soon as you start talking, the screen and buttons go in standby!
so to increase the volume, first turn on your phone, then press the volume up button.

I wish it was so easy. No the sound is at maximum but tit's still poor quality. In my opinion this device is very disappointing.
did you turn up the other sound settings as wel?
system sound for example?
Did you guys remove the default screen protector? It covered up my speaker so I couldn't hear anyone on the other line, but when I did eventually remove the protector, everything was loud and clear again!
The screen protector covers the speaker!? That's quite poor...
my bad..double posting

quite poor, what???
yes, when out of the box it has a screen cover from the factory, covering everything including the speaker.
use the up volume during the conversation. volume is ok. sound quality is great.
one of the many reviews is mentioning the "exceptional" sound quality of device.
another very common and highly recommended solution is ...."wash your eyer!" one hehehe...just joking..hehe
I have the same problem as well. The talk volume through the headset seems ok, but should go louder compared to my old htc touch. The ring volume and speakerphone volume isn't loud enough at all. I have both volume sliders up to max.
Anyone know of a reg hack to get the speaker volume louder?? I know it can be done cause I once saw it for some other wm6.1 phone, dunno which one anymore :S
Hi all ,
there is any chance to increase the volume of the speaker ?
he is very weak.. (and his volume is on maximum)
tweak or smting will help.
thanks !
No tweaks really available for this. There are like one or two tricks (one of which requires hacking your phone up) that apparently work.
Look around, there are tons of threads in regards to this topic.
Yes the speaker is crap on the diamond. Sooner or later you will get used to it and live with it
do not forget that you have three volume settings.
first system volume, second ringtone volume and third incall volume.
the last you can only set during a call. when in a call, turn on your screen and then press the volume up button. now you can change the volume during a call.
for me this fixed al the volume problems.
offcourse if you want to use your speaker for handsfree or as an mp3 player: don't. the speaker is not intended for this use and you will just irritate people around you. use a headphone instead.

I also thought that the volume during a call is way too low despite having the volume at maximum. Since I installed Phone Weaver which lets you control the incall volume via profiles it blows my ears away. Last time the speaker was too loud during the call but I couldn't turn it down with the volume keys?! It only changed the master (system?) volume but not the incall. What did I wrong?
I have found that the loud-speaker volume is very low during movie playback, what setting deals with this?
Use Advanced Config and enable all Audio Booster options. This maybe helps...
Also Diamond Tweak, maybe disable 100 db Sound Limitation...
However, these are I think for headset, I haven't tried if they affect the external speaker.
One thing that works for sure is setting equalizers to max in In Core player, but I don't know if the core player works on Diamond...
Don't you love it how I actually haven't helped you at all?
I am gonna test all these and edit this post ))))))

Increase the volume of the movie player if its not already 100%?
Personally my speaker is very loud. During calls, at around 50% volume its still so loud I have to keep it a little from my ear.

i think you have to be in the phone menu. when i press the volume during a call, it changes the call volume. maybe phone weaver assigns a different function to you volume button.

Coreplayer shows volume at 100% already, but the volume is so low I can barely hear a thing...
Anyone? It's weird because when I put calls on loudspeaker it's fine, but when playing a movie it's inaudible...
