Where have messenger sound settings gone ?

Does anyone know where the sound settings have gone for MSN Messenger on the XDA Exec. They used to be in sounds and notifications on the older OS's.

It isnt available in WM2005. Incredible

Not in the usual place anyway. I have also had a search around the registry but i could not find anything obvious.

Just Incase anyone is interested dmr54 over at Tekguru found the answer on a blog at

Here are the registry keys you’ll need to add to your device:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65E-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000008
@="Messenger: Contact Online"
"Wave"="notify"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65F-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000008
@="Messenger: New Message"
"Wave"="notify"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
After adding these you can go to the Sound and Notifications control panel and customize the notification behavior.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I just created a txt file with the above 2 blocks in it and renamed it to messenger.reg then ran it on the Exec. Now i can set the notifications from the usual place.
Worked fine for me but you attempt at your own risk.

I supposedly did this (its all I've done this morning) but:
a) I can't see the entries in the reg file
b) my data connections no longer work
Dunno how to back out the changes if I can't find them!

Thanks Dingo - works fine for me.

Somehow it wiped the password and username settings for the T Mobile 3G / GPRS connection, as well as the password on my exhange server connection... very strange!

I used this code in a text file renamed to messenger.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65E-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000008
"Wave"="Notify"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
@="Messenger: Contact Online"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65F-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000008
"Wave"="Notify"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
@="Messenger: New Message"
file imports, i see no keys appear in registry

well it took long enough using resco to edit registry, but it works. thank frek, now i have have msn on in the background and not get pestered every 5 seconds.

Contact online & message notification
just import this registry file,message notification and contact online notification will b solved
cheers

thats what i did in the first place, it was just never showing up in the registry. i then tried adding the key and it said it already existed, then is was visible, but empty, so i manually added the rest and it works fine.

Very strange indeed. The 2 entries are added to the ControlPanel\Notifications section of the registry so should not in anyway affect data connection.
It would be wise for other T Mobile users to take note though just incase. Also if you could post success/failure results it would help to determine what the problem may be.
Also i did not note in my post above that after changing the registry switch your phone off and then soft reset for the settings to take effect.

please help- i need a default reg value string... please!!

Please, can someone got to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
and post the default value string for me???
goodlink has overwritten mine and i hate using goodlink contacts...
thanks...

Sorry my T-Mobile MDA only has a "112" string under "Keys". there is no "113" the default value for 112 is "Calendar"

brunoflipper: the softkeys can be configured manually or with various hacking apps. What app do you want it to launch? Contacts?

thanks for the response...
i have tried every hacking app i can find but i am stuck...
i've tried to hack the reg but can't make it work...
my dilemma is that i have to use goodlink email for work, but goodlink installs its own "goodlink contacts" and then takes over the contact button/softkey... i hate using goodlink contacts and want to go back to using the default outlook contacts... the goodlink developer is rude and ignorant, they will not help me around using there contacts...
i can still get to outlook contacts via start menu on today screen but i want my button back... even tweaks2k2 won't work as it wants to be directed to a .dll or .exe and can't work from the .lnk shortcut...
please help
thanks

Sorry, I don't seem to have a virgin registry:
Looking at a registry backup, these are the only entries:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
"Open"="\\windows\\calendar.lnk"
@="Agenda"
However, looking at the emulator, there are no entries at all for keys, so make a backup and delete the whole subkey to see if it resorts to default. Otherwise, just set up your own entries to whatever you want using the above format.
V

those are for calendar... do you have the reg keys for contacts?

GoodLink
brunoflipper - agree with you regarding Goodlink rep - I too am using it. Think I may remove it. A reg hack be great to remap the keys.

Search around for "SoftKeyApplet" on this forum. It's a .cpl file you have to put in \Windows.
After that go the Control Panel --> System, press softkey and here you go....assign the apps you wanted to your softkey(s)!

SMS sent confirmation

One thing I miss about my old phone is the "sms sent" confirmation I used to get after sending a message. (also with a little animation).
It's really annoying to have to go round the houses to get to the sent folder to see if a message has been sent or not.
I had a whole day with a load of messages unknowingly sat in the outbox thinking they'd been sent which really annoyed me. It was only after I checked at the end of the day I found out they hadn't
Does such a thing exist for the diamond or is it too dependant on windows mobile.
Also still have not found a decent lock program that locks EVERY button (including the power) and stops me answering calls getting my phone out my pocket and the sleeve. Tied s2u2 and touchlockpro but they are still unreliable
What was wrong with "menu - star" like on the nokias. - Worked a treat !!!
Any help would be appreciated

Alright mate.
Can't help with the locking problem, but here's what you need to do to get notification of SMS sent...
Go to the "messages" tab in TouchFlo and click "all messages". Then click "menu", "tools" and "options". Click "* SMS\MMS" and make sure "Request delivery notifications" is checked.
I don't use this myself, but I just tested it and it works for me.
Hope this helps you out.
John.

I use the following tip:
Use any Registry Editor, such as freeware CeRegEditor or PHM Registry Editor, and navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
If “Settings” branch does not exist, create a New Key with name as Settings. Then highlight Settings, and then create a new String Value key with value name as SMSNoSentMsg, with its value data as 1.

... you're nearly right. You need to set the value to '0' if you wish to receive a notification that the SMS has been sent. If you set it to '1', you will not receive the notification (this is the default).

Nice one thanks guys. Went for the reg edit as didn't fancy getting a text back from operator every time I send one.
Just for the record yes the value of "SMSNoSentMsg" needs to be 0.
Again cheers for your help

Resurrecting this thread
I discovered this one earlier today, so far I'm liking it.
SMS Retry Notification
Enables/Disables a notification when an SMS message failed to be delivered. The phone will display a Popup displaying a summary of the message, to whom it was sent and when, and ask if you would like to try again.
[HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA] change PhoneExt_SmsRetry
0 - Disable (Default)
1 - Enable
My phone is a Sprint CDMA phone (hence the registry address) but hopefully it's not a Sprint setting and other CDMA phones and maybe GSM phones have a similar location.

Sweet. I also like the original setting in this thread. I like to know when my text is sent. I don't use text that ofte, s this is not an inconvenience to me.

SMS Status!!!

Dears,
How can i know my sent SMS status on my HTC Diamond 2 mobile??
(Sent - Received,...)
is there anyway to know that?

When writing the SMS, go to options- there is the option for a delivery report.

Sorry to hijack this post.
But I have just updated my phone with the official windows mobile 6.5 from the HTC website. For some reason I now can not set the LED to stay on until I have read the message like I used to be able to. The tick box is greyed out. Does anyone know a way around this?

SQueal. there is a regedit to fix this. get a regeditor,if you dont already have one and navigate to HKCU\Controlpanel\Notifications and find entry A877D65B…
change AvailableOptions value to 15.

hello. I have tcm and as I understand, i can edit the registry. Where do i find it? Thanks for your time

Thanks codhunter, is there a registry editor on the phone, or can I access it through a PC one when its hooked up via active sync?
While I am in there, is it also possible to change the text message alert to something I want, I notice that they have removed this on the updates as well which is quite irritating.

HELP!!! - Need ActiveSync Registry Key

So I screwed up big time and deleted my ActiveSync registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\ActiveSync) it was to get rid of the useless Outlook account but needless to say in doing so I lost text notifications so I need to import the ActiveSync registry key but the one that I exported with PHM prompts an error message when I try to import it with Resco.
Could someone please upload or email me this .reg file?
email = user name at gmail
OR - if someone wants to type the string values that would be awesome too! Thanks in advance!

Nevermind...
So as I was waiting for a response.. I just made a new registry key called Activesync and put it in the SVC folder and made some strings (DLL, Name, Port) all of which have no values & now outlook is back...(except its called "Activesync") and so are my text notifications!! I dont know how this worked but it did... weeeeird... thanks anyway!
