MODS: PLEASE DON'T SLAM ME FOR POSTING THIS ON MULTIPLE THREADS - IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT ALL SHOULD SEE

With all the leaked and official versions of 10.3.X - there has been the problem of low volume on notifications. There is a workaround:

Credit for this goes to jaydee5799 - she turned me on to it!

1) Download a FREE program called Audacity to your PC.
2) Copy the sound file(s) you want to use on your device from your device onto your PC - then, import it (them) into Audacity.
3) You can then manipulate the file to make the maximum volume higher.
4) Save the modified file under a different file name (like, add MODIFIED into the file name, etc.) on your PC
5) Copy the modified file from your PC into your device, in whatever location the original sound file was located (or in whatever location any third party ringtones you are using and modifying are located).

You can now select the modified file on your device for notifications, just as you selected the original sound file.

If the modified file is too loud (distorts when playing on your device) - simply delete it from your device, start over in Audacity with the original file, and modify it differently.

Once I had installed Audacity and figured out how to use it - took me about 10 minutes to modify 7 different notification files.

Thanks for the workaround and I appreciate your efforts. With that being said, this is insane. To have to do this is ridiculous. Sorry, it had to be said.

I agree - but at least it solves the problem for people.

To help folks out with this... here's the whole 'Sounds' folder. Has all the notifications and ringtones, including ones from the BlackBerry Classic which includes the uhhh... classic (BBOS) ringtones - https://mega.co.nz/#!u5glAb5R!KZBE3D...YqrO_tkHGljURQ

I used my own notifications, they were all created loud.

But still, a workaround is a workaround. It is not called a workaround for nothing.

They fooked , they must fix it ! Not me with some software !

If this workaround is ok with you its not with me !

I really won't know if RIM will release a fix for this in future. But until then, a workaround is better than nothing.

Bla1ze thanks for this but for whatever reason my Passport will never work with mega. I get a truncated mega icon on the top and a blank screen. Any ideas anyone please?

You must download mega app in BlackBerry world and then download from mega app

[magicdesign]

My workaround:

1) Eject sim
2) insert sim into another phone

[Q10Bold]

I want a working phone!!
Volume issues are present since the first 10.3 leaks....just tell me- how couldnt BB see this? If its an official OS BB should work harder.

Hi fistmaster I would do security wipe or reload OS, because when I'm on PassportSQW100-1/10.3.1.2243 my volume are loud but I do install by autoloader
Do a back up then perform security wipe hope it fix the issue

Did all that but the Mega app will not allow activation. What a pile of junk. Sorry deleted. Will do it the longer way.

Thanks for the info though

Solving the problem would be Blackberry fixing this broken OS.

Yep.

Blackberry need to bring out a 'maintenance release' patch and FAST. This is a huge embarrassment.
