I need louder sound for C902

[Max312]

Hey everybody,

I just got a SE C902 vodafone branded but not locked.
Before that I had a K800i and now i am pretty disappointed about the sound volume. It just is not loud enough! Espiecally in a loud environnement like my daily subway ride it is pretty annoying. The K800 was louder. I flashed my k800(dont think i am expert though..., I had to google everything and it took me like a week^^) so I am not sure if that was its original sound or the flashed sound.
Anyways, I know that I can increase the sound with a flash of the acoustic files. Is that right?
But from my google week for flashing the k800 I remember that I would loose the warranty for the phone when I flash it. Is that also the case when I ONLY flash the sound drivers/acoustic settings or whatever. Because I dont really want to flash the Firmware and dont want to loose the warranty.

If my plans (louder sound, but no firmware flash nor warranty loss) would be possible, could you once you are typing anyways give me a tip on which sound drivers I should use and how I would get those on the phone, please?

Thank you,

Max

EDIT:

Oh, I forgot something, sorry:

i bought a Bluetooth wireless stereo headset and love it. So if possible I would like to increase the sound volume for this headset(it is not the headset that makes it quiet, when I use it with the K800 it is clearly louder). If this is not possible I can also use a regular headset, though

If you dont want to dbrand your phone, try to put the acoustic files from a generic firmware. Search in Download area.

PS: I sugest you to debrand the phone and if something goes wrong, you can put back the vodafone firmware.

It is not that I don't want to debrand it. But I don't want to put a new firmware on it unless it is necessary. Because now the phone works and has warranty. If I flash it might for some reason not. Do you see what I am saying? kinda like dont change a working system.

So could I just use those generic files without putting a new firmware on it? And would I still have warranty when I do that?

To increase the volume of the c902, get any db3150 acoustic of your choice and upload them with A2 Uploader, dont try to use your K800 acoustics since they will not work!! I see no problem debranding your phone, if your phone requires servicing for hardware failure (broken housing, bad speaker, ect) flash it again using vodafone firmware and the warranty is back.

Make a back-up of acoustic files with A2uploader and try some acoustic files from a generic firmware. If you dont like the results, you can put back the original files. Changing the acoustic files is ok, you will still have the warranty.

PS: Debranding the phone: + performance, + batery life.

Hey everybody,

thank you all for your help so far. I tried putting new acoustic settings on my phone, but that didn't improve the sound:

I used A2 uploader, the newest version of it. that way I was able to backup my firmware. So now I have a complete copy of everything that belongs to the cell phone firmware on my computer!
I also used the usb flash drivers, usb data cable(original SE), C902 and several acoustic settings from topsony.com
I tried four different acoustic settings, coulnt find any for the c902, but i tried settings for the c902, c702, the w910 and w902 and coulnt hear any difference or improvement. The sound is nothing like the one from the k800.
Do you have any ideas what I else I could try to get louder sound with a SEC902?
Maybe debrand the phone? would that help?
Or maybe try other acoustic settings? some for c902? but where would I get those from?

I have no clue how to solve this problem anymore, please help me! The sound of the C902 really sucks!

Thank you in advance

For my W910i, the debrand help with the acoustics! Folow my advice, debrand the phone and if you dont like it you can put back the vodafone software.
