How to adjust your volume levels, The easy way to boost your default volume set

I just tried this on my Verizon i910 - didn't do anything at all. After dialing *#0002*28346# nothing happened!

Can anyone advise if this worked for them on the i910? Or is this exclusive to the i900?

I use the Verizon i910 as well.
I found this in the Modaco forums the other day:

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.


I haven't tried this so I can't verify that it works or not. I'd be careful adjusting these settings. You don't want to damage your speakers.

Thanks for this post very helpfull

Import this registry file using your registry editor.  This is an export of my registry for the appropriate entries. Hope it helps

Okay, because I'm on a Mac, I'm not so sure I did this properly.  I can't work with anything directly from my laptop because the files are not Mac-compatible (freakin Windows!!!!), so I went through Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, which syncs my i910 Omnia with my Mac.  The app that came with the phone to do this, of course, won't work on my computer, so Missing Sync works in its place (created by brilliant Mac people).  So I mounted my phone thru this app and was able to drag and drop the file you posted and put it in My Storage, My Docs, next to where I have RegEdit.  I checked between the files you'd given me and what I already had on my phone, and everything seems to be at the same levels.  So what's going on here?  I'm scratching my head at this point, wondering why I didn't just pass on this phone in the first place and get an iphone?  Not only are pc-based things harder to understand and tweak, but then Verizon had to play with this phone even more and block anything we might want to do to make them more our own.  Again, help!

The reg file I uploaded was an extraction of my registry.  My phone currently is not experiencing the screech problem with the current registry setting, however, I have had the screech when I was tinkering with the settings previously.  I have never owned a Mac, so I can't help you there, but the registry entries I uploaded should have worked.  The other thing you can try is just deleting all the entries.  The entries are not present when the phone is on a clean hard reset.  Try deleting the entries and performing a soft reset.  It would be better than what you are experiencing now.

Use the registry editor on your phone, and delete the SAMSUNG key under the HKLM.  That should delete all the subkeys underneath it.

Step by step:
1. open registry editor
2. open Hkey_local_machine
3. select SAMSUNG key
4. Delete SAMSUNG key and all subkeys (and data)

I use resco registry editor, but most all registry editors work the same way (PHM etc.)  If you are unhappy with the registry editor you are using you should be able to search for one in Opera and download it directly to the phone.
