Yes you can edit the gain_table.bin file with a hex editor. I just did my
V400 and it has lots & lots of volume now.

There's no downside to it, the phone is set to a value of 1 by Motorola, in
my case I turned it up to 3 and it worked ok. It is now loud enough that I
turned it down about halfway with the volume control, no distortion either
way. It helps to have the reserve for a low connection, noisy enviornment,
etc.

I used vxi32 to hex edit the file & MPT to upload & dowload to computer &
back to phone. I tried to email you the info you needed, but it was too
large for your mailbox.

How do you edit the gain_table.bin with p2k, I've tried and couldn't figure
out how to do it.

Thanks,

Can this also be done on a V710? And what is "Motokit"?

My provider is Verizon.
