I dont know about most ppl here, but I really hate that "beeping" noise whenever the unit receive a on screen click, especially that loud beep for the start button. Its really loud in the middle of the night
Is there a way to disable it, or change it to a much soothing sound
I install Wisbar Advance 2 before, and the pre-pack skin also change the beeping to a much better sound, but as I mention before here in this forum, I uninstalled it because it slow down my unit greatly.
start button > settings > sounds & notifications / screen taps etc.
v
But I m talking about the loud beep for the start menu or the new tab, or when you open program from the start menu...
there is no option to unable them... is there a way?
so anyone know how?

Start => Settings => Sounds => Events
Toggle off (uncheck) the "Events (warnings, system events)" checkbox in the Sounds & Notifications panel, and it will turn off the chirp when you tap the Start menu, etc.
I don't know for what other "events" you will no longer get a sound, but this was driving me nuts as well.
Thanks, I did that and finally it was easier that I thought.
Now I am wondering what other warnings I have sutten down.
Does anyone knows if there is something important that will not sound now?
thanks 4 your help

I did the same yesterday - and so far all my other warning/notifications have sounded ok.... fingers crossed we haven't turned off anything vitally important!
Hello people,
I have a bit of a problem with my sms sound on my HD. I dont get any sound notifications when a new SMS comes. I have enable sound, under settings, sound and notifications i have checked Play Sound and selected a builtin one. Vibration is off. Any ideas of what maybe the problem?
Thank you in advance.
ck Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Sounds and see if the Notifications box is ck'd or unck'd.
re
same situation here. settings cant change. very strange. i change option, but after close dialg windows, and reopen it, nothing change
i have exactly the opposite problem, i want to disable the SENT notification sound!
I confirm the problem about changing ring tones about call, sms etc ... very very strange ! I open dialg window, change ring tone from the list, but it cannot be played or assigned. I have not install odd 3rd party apps. except offcial HTC fix from here

I have the same problem. it used to work, but now no sound, the vibration still happens though!!! settings look ok, and soft reset does not help.
Any ideas?

Hey guys,
as it turned out the Ring sound level is only for the ringing tone. I had ring level on maximun while system level was off. I raised the system volume and the sms sound was back on. I dont know if this applies to the rest of you but give it a shot. Thanks for your replies.
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"
Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.
If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!
I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).
Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.
Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.
I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.

You can go to your START/SETTINGS/SOUND & DISPLAY & unlick where it says use single volume for both settings!
@toreone
Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is.
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.
I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...

use your finger to swipe-scroll the settings list up and down, you'll find it there.

This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.
SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.
So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.

I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..
Is there a way to make this louder. I cannot hear it very well at all. I saw in another thread about a code that can be keyed into the dialer that brings up a audio menu but have yet to figure out where to go in this menu to raise it. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

For 2.2 (FroYo):
Settings > Sound > Volume > Put notification volume all the way up?
For 2.1 (Eclair): (Pretty sure it goes like this, I'm on 2.2 so can't remember clearly)
Settings > Sound & Display > Ringtone volume > Put notification volume all the way up?
i have been having the same problem
Hi,
I recently switched from a WM standard phone (snap - non touch screen) to the HD2 - big move
One thing that I am confused about is that if I put the HD2 in "VIBRATE" mode, the volume is set to 0, so when I try to play some music using my stereo headset, I need to bring the volume up to hear it.
But, as soome as I bring the volume up, the HD2 switches out of vibrate mode
With my non-touch screen phone, even when you were in "Vibrate" mode, you could listen to any multimedia app you wanted, and still any notification (SMS, New Email, voice mail, etc) would still just vibrate and not make a sound.
How can I EASILY get the HD2 to stay in VIBRATE mode and listen to music without having to modify each "notification" manully one-by-one to just "VIbrate"?
Any ideas?
i vaguely remember (currently stoned! ) that this is indeed possible and that i used to do it on my HD2...
i'm currently using android 24/7 for the past 2+ months so can't boot back to WM to confirm what i remember.
i believe i had "ringer" and "system" volumes set to show as separated from one another on the big grey volume control screen. the setting to toggle splitting the controls is somewhere on the Sense settings' tab.
so i would keep the volume down pressed all the way so that the phone would switch both volume controls to vibrate (the sequence was highest volume->lowest volume->silent *(i.e. no vibrate either)->vibrate). then i would switch to the "system" tab of the volume control and drag it back UP. so the "ringer" tab remained on vibrate and the "system" tab got the volume it needs to play music, or what have you.
i suppose this would silence the notification sounds as well because i vaguely remember another setting that makes the notification sounds follow the "ringer" volume as opposed to the "system" volume. but if the notification sounds follow the "system" volume, then you would still hear them during the music playback...but i find that prospect useful as well, so maybe it was designed that way and i don't remember properly?!?
so yeah, whatever

If you could remember that setting that would be awesome, I like how Android handles notification and system sounds. I would prefer to have the ringer and notifications together and then multimedia sounds separate, any hint where to look?
you need settings....., sound + display....
then set "single volume" to off.
your volume control should now have two tabs for ring and system volume levels.....
even after they are seperate and he has the ringer turned down, his texts and other notifications will still sound because they are systems sounds right?

Yes notification sounds are linked to System volume, the OP, and myself for that matter, are looking to have the notifications linked to ringer volume like it is in Android so that system volume is delegated to multimedia and such. I was always under the impression that this was a limitation of Winmo but now I wonder if it's in the registry to change that
regarding my post above, i have a feeling that i am incorrectly stating that the "notification volume follows ringer volume" feature is present in WM as well.
like i said in the post, i can't remember properly and so take the post with a grain of salt. apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Haha it's all good. Yeah I was just hopeful is all, it would be nice if it was a part of the registry but I am thinking that is a core functionality of WinMo
