Hi all,

I have downloaded ring tones for my P800 (from http://www.mobiledia.com/) but the volume is far to low and I can barely hear them unless I am in a quiet room.

Does anyone know how I can increase the volume of polyphonic ring tones once they are on P800.

Volume of the phone is set to highest yet still cannot hear ring tones, yet my mates with Nokia have the loudest ring tones which is really annoying as I have the best phone in the world but cannot hear tones!!!!

Someone help?

I have had the same problem with the preinstalled polyphonic ringtones on my P800 -- the only one with reasonable volume is the "Old-fashioned" ringtone. Everything else is simply too faint to be usable.

Anyone figure this out?

I have the same problem with my T300. I now rely on the vibration instead. The ringtones are way too quiet. I admit Nokia is doing a better job at the loudness of the ringtones - but then they have a speaker which can be used as a speakerphone as well as for ringtones - SE still uses the traditional monophonic speaker alongside the polyphonic speaker which I personally don't prefer.

isn't it possible to get the midi file, increase the volume with an audio program, then re-upload the file to the phone?

But the speaker itself has a max - and that max happens to be quieter than Nokia's!

Im almost sure this would work. I have never heard of a speaker itself being able to controle the volume of itself but i could be wrong, (works in a music industry) I do have some poly's that are very low, but I have also got some that come across very high and you can even hear the bass kick. So this leads me to belive that you would be able to add volume onto the midi, im thinking that someof the polys may have been edited from where i downloaded them.

It is quite possible to increase volume in midi files. I use Anvil studio, and i have been told that you can use PSMPlayer as well.
Regarding the phone, i donīt think itīs the speaker itself as much as the "amplifier" in the phone, i have .MMF files in my phone (Siemens S55) that sound crappy due to too high level.

I am not sure if this works on p800, but it works on my n6100. I download the midi to pc, edit with \"GN Midi\" software then upload back to the phone. Wow..!! It's awesome.

The midi files can be taken to a vloume that is at least twice the volume of a standard file, however specialist software such As Steinberg Cubase VST or Sibelius, I am a music student so i have this software and have been experimenting with it. however eventually you get to a voloume where it is possible that the speaker could overload
