Ok cool. I'll keep an eye on it see what happens. Thanks again. Now I just wish I could get my mp3 ringtones volume up. I can barely hear the friggin thing ring.

Use better MP3 files. If they were recorded with low volume then that is the way they will play.

I work with music in a recording studio, so I'm quite familiar with music, encoding, levels, and all that stuff. It's not my mp3's it's the phone. I can encode the mp3's at a great quality, and limit the bass out of it so it doesn't make my phone's speaker peak and still get low volume when my phone rings. It just doesn't make sense to me. The same mp3's I had on my 6700 that sounded great and should sound at least equal when transfered to the 6800, don't sound half as loud. That's a problem...

well if everything else is equal save the loudness aspect, then its on the phones end. if you have the course setting audio para file on thevphone and it makes little difference, then i would tell you to go back into your favorite sound editor (audacity is free but since you have access to a studio you may want to look at sound forge or protools) and normalize the mp3s, recompress and roll off a tad more of the low end and work in the mid range freqs. you have to design these ringers for the speaker in back, so even though it may sound like tinny on your studio reference monitors (i have some NS-10Ms along with some genelec's in my studio) it would sound great on the phones speaker... you have to do trial and error to get them the way you want them...

Does anyone know what causes this type of "Access Denied" error when transferring files to the memory card? I've tried to transfer various types of files over and everything seems to be "Access Denied."

I mean that makes perfect sense, however my concern is more that it seems Verizon downgraded their friggin speaker from the 6700 to the 6800. That's what's aggravating me. If my mp3 ringers sounded great on the 67, and I beam the identical file over to the 68, it should sound better or at very least equal to the 67. It's just bothers me to think that they uprade some features, and downgrade a ****load of others. That's a ****ty excuse for an "upgrade" no? Especially at the pricepoints these phones are available for. It's a slap in the face.

chris,
i think the speaker is probably the same or better than the 67, i think its the audio para file that is making the difference here.

for example, once i upgraded to the latest sprint ROM and installed this audio file, i noticed an improvement but not as great an improvement as i did on the 67.

but you know it could be the holes in the back of the phone blocking some of the sound... who knows but i feel ya and certainly understand where your coming from....

It won't let me replace the file.

Says i either have insufficient memory or the file is read only.

Can someone please help me? I'm ready to toss this phone out the window because I can't hear a damn thing from the earpiece.

just read this thread. it tells you what you need to do. go to the second page.

check posts # 71 thru 76... it mentions alltell but its all basically the same thing...

post # 84 by wmdunn was also helpful to me

I am trying to change the audiopara file on my VZW xv6800. The file is currently in ROM so I can't rename or delete it. If I copy a audiopara.csv directly on top of it, it looks like it was over written but in fact another file was created with the same name. If I do a soft reset, I can check the properties of the file and see that it is not loaded in ROM. If I delete the file, the original shows up and the properties show that it is in ROM. How do I unload the original file out of ROM to allow me to copy over the replacement. I can't find the process anywhere. Can someone help me? Can you also upload the Sprint AudioPara.cab to try as well? Thanks.

I just purchased a PPC 6800 from Alltel two weeks ago and hated the low audio. I installed your program and now it works perfect.

Thank you
John

WHAT??? HUH??? I can't hear anything out my right ear now
I have to tun it way down for the right volume.... PERFECT!

Voice Command on the other hand.... still is so low I can hardly hear the responses. I will search for some other patch for VC

Thanks for the audio reconfiguring this is great!!

I want to thank the author of this file. I am hard of hearing and this made my phone so much more usable.

can someone tell me how they unloaded the original file out of ROM to allow them to overwrite it?

When you copy a new file in with the same name as the one in ROM, the one in ROM is ignored. There is no need to delete or rename the one in ROM. It will use the new one you place there. If you ever feel like deleting the one you added, it will automatically revert to the one in ROM.

So I guess I didn't need to save the old csv file.... It would have just copied the original from rom back to the windows dir after I remove the hacked csv file??

Ok i've read most of these posts and they are very helpful. I have a decent working knowledge of moving these files around etc; however, here is my problem: I just got the Verizon 6800 yesterday and I want to do this volume patch. I downloaded the latest AudioPara Course Extended Ear from page 1. Then, I renamed it AudioPara.csv Next, I went into the Windows Directory, copied the file "AudioPara", pasted it into my documents, renamed it by adding _orig to the ending. Then I copied the new AudioPara.csv into the Windows Directory, did a soft reset and I don't notice any change. What am I doing wrong? Also, i still see the original AudioPara file in there along with another text file named AUDPP_PARA. The original AudioPara file has a windows symbol next to it as opposed to the text icon. Does that mean anything? I just joined this forum today, so I appreciate any help.

Well I did this on my Verizon VX6800 and lo and behold it worked! the next call I got very loud....then disaster...it just suddenly stopped working. I went through all the steps again and still no luck...Any thoughts?

I've purchased the VZW 6800 this past Saturday and I love it, it grows on me more each day. My only gripe thus far is that I miss the text message formatting of the Palm Treo. I bought the Extreme Text program and it's ok, still not quite what I had hoped for. This is inconsequential really. I added the Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.2 and it added dozens of great menu changes, tweaks etc, that make this phone one of my all-time favorites. I really like the program closing tabs, multi-tab internet browsing, etc and scrolling like the iPhone.

The default phone volume isn't horrible and the speakerphone sounds ok. I hope that somebody here will respond to my question about not being able to get the volume fix to work. This is a slick phone, it looks great, runs very fast and I have had absolutely no problems at all with any aspect of the 6800. The web browsing is fantastic and much faster than the Sprint network that i just left. I might get one of those big virtual keyboard programs because I don't like the size of the virtual keyboard.
