Anybody knows how to get rid/change the sound events associated with tapping the Start Menu and any of the items in its pulldown menu? These sounds cannot be disabled in the Screen taps control of Sounds & Notification. Thanks.
you can normally get rid of the sounds by unchecking the box for "Events (warnings, system events)...which can be found in the sounds and notification screen....
cheers
Didn't know that! Thanks.
change today menu sounds?
can you change the today menu sounds ? i.e. when the menu drops down, closes.
or are you ulimited to changing sounds only for the predefined events such as email/sms incoming...activesync etc?
I've tried before, and you can't get rid of the initial start menu sound, but if you go into the windows dir and locate all the .wav files, you can change the rest of them.
Though you'll find the sound for the first start menu sound amongst those and overwrite it, it won't work.

...so simple the answers remain elusive.
How do you stop a tone being played when you press the start button or select certain items? I've searched in sounds and notifications but I can't see anything there, I have standard taps disabled.
Secondly, how do I get the phone to vibrate for an incoming call - I want it to ring as well as today I was almost caught out because I didn't hear the phone ringing. There is a vibrate option in sounds and notifications but I'm not sure exactly what this one is for.
Thanks,
John
First answer:
Go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications
then uncheck Screen Taps. Or You have third party
program like WisBar?
answer second:
Push "Green Phone button" -> Menu -> Options...
and choose Vibrate and Ring in the Ring type window.
Screen taps are already unchecked, I don't have any third party programs at all installed. It's only certain events that trigger the noise, such as tapping the start button and then choosing settings but then tapping the tabs in that folder say, will not generate any noise.
Thanks for the vibrate answer, that's it sorted.

You should be able to silence the Start Menu and its items' one by disabling...
Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications* > [ ] Events (warnings, system events)
If that doesn't work, try a search on this forum for "start menu sound" (no quotes), and you'll find lots of older threads on how to replace the sound with your own sound ( which, if you use a completely silent wav, is 'no' sound %) )
That did the trick, thanks muchly!

Despite having screen taps turned off, when tapping on Start and any menu items, I still get the 'click'.
All other screen taps are silent.
Is it this way for everyone? Is there a fix for this?
Those taps are windows event sounds. You can disable them by unticking the Events(warnings, system events) in Sounds & Notifications. Ofcourse you'll lose all other events.
Thanks Miguel, that sorted it.
Choice for Screen tap sound is either 1) no sound 2) soft or 3)loud. Soft or loud is just a "tkkkk" sound. Does anyone know how to change to a more ear friendly sound ?
I guess these would be hardcoded into the rom and the phone won't allow you to change them. Look under the windows directory for all .wav files. With some luck, you might be able to find it.
screen tab sounds are pretty annoying, as everyone around you will hear that you are working on your phone... i turned every sound off.
Press the Call Button -> Number Page Come out -> Menu -> Options - > Phone Tab Page -> Keypad changed to OFF
there u goes.. no sound for tabbing of buttons..
Hey Guys this forum is awesome it is nice and detailed
I Just have a couple of questions regarding the X1
1. Is there anyway possible to completely disable vibrations in the phone e.g. the panel section when you select a panel it vibrates
2. Is there any way to get Microsoft Voice commander to work because when it installs it says "An Unrecoverable has occurred" and it requires me to restart my phone, i have the voice command button as my right softkey. you hear the phone beep and i say "help" but it does not respond to it.
3.Is it possible to hide certain programs from the programs menu as i wish to hide some programs i do not use
4.can you remove the recent programs list in the start menu?
5.In the mediaxperience panel when you create a playlist can you select all of the music you want to add, and not have to go to each song and select "add to playlist" because on mine i have to go to each individual song and add it, it pretty annoying after doing it 20 times.
Thanks for your help
Hi,
This may seem a stupid question, but recently i had to make a hardreser to my HTC TOPAZ, and since then whenever I use dailer screen, the keypad sounds a tone every time i press a key. This is strange because before performing the hardreset i have disabled the tones, without problems.
I contacted HTC Support Center and they indicated these steps.
From the main Home page - Start> Settings> Sounds & Display> Ring & Notifications> Notification sounds.
But I have done this before i call them and I could not turn off the tones.
Is there another step desctivas these "parasite" tones?
Compliments
Turn off keypad dialer sound
Settings -> Personal -> Phone, under Sounds set Keypad to Off.
