Hi. I recently got my mini and have lotsa queries.
1) Cant play any other audio file as ringtone other than the default tones even though i copied the files to the windows/rings folder.
2) O2 connect will not connect to the server even though it syncs without a problem and I have 24 hrs internet on my comp.
3) After I uninstall a program, the icon still remains under the 'programs' menu. How do i remove that.
Any insight on the above mentioned queries would be really helpful. any of you can also email me at: [email protected]
Really apreciate it...
Cheers
1) if you are using mp3s for ringtones, guess you'll have to use a third party software to do that... other than that, midi files works for me...
2)you have to register your username, password and your mini in o2 website in order to connect... after that remember to go to the settings and enter your username and password...
3)either you can use memaid (a 3rd party software) to maintain your system or just use file explorer at (Start menu>Programs), at there, go to (windows>start menu) and delete your invalid shortcuts...
cheers...
mp3 ringtones shouldn't be a problem, there's even a small cab file to pick them from within the file explorer (it 'repaired' the bug). Putting them in the rings folder should do the trick, don't make them to large though. Maybe you're using a third party app which removed the wmp mp3 link.

thanks guys.... i tried putting in my user name and password under settings of O2 connect but am still not able to connect to the net on the mini when my phone is connected via sync cable. It says...
Connection fail
Disconnected from O2 connect server
Also, Can u gimme the link or the exe file for making MP3 my ringtones....
u guys are simply great
Cheers
Got the mp3.cab at home, can attach it this evening.

If I put my ringtones in windows/rings, my device "forgets" what ringtone is for who...But if I put them directly in windows/ it works just fine, Midi, mp3 and wave....no program used, just copy/paste...BTW I have renamed some of them, to match the default-ones (and deleted the def-ones) ...
Didn't manage to get the cab attached, so uploaded it to the ftp at cab installs
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]
can you surf the net with your mini? if can't, the means it is your connectivity problem... go to your Activesync, under files select connection settings... under (this computer is connected to select automatic or the internet...
Hey oltp, thanks for d cab. now i get an option when i click on an mp3 whether i want to set this as ringtone but it says you gotta check the memory. i have close to 16 mb of mem free n it still does not happen. please please please help me out.
Hey nonentity.... i tried doin wat u said but i do not get the option at all. i 've attached the screenshot of the screen that i see under connection settings. me using activesync 3.8 if that helps... really need a solution the these probs man... :wink:
Cheers...
Hi biswadeepb,
Tried it myself with a 5Mb mp3 & worked fine, must say I've got over 30Mb free main memory due to BIG Storage. A ringtone doesn't have to be large, or do you need three minutes to find your magician?
You can also experiment with making the mp3 mono, shrinks a lot. Don't forget to code it to stereo before using as ringtone, cause wmp doesn't play mono mp3 somehow. At least i had probs with it.
As I'm probably one of the oldies around here I've got the OldPhone as ringtype.
Regards, M
Hey Oltp... the mp3 ringtone used to work earlier. then i installed some program called EasyTweak and since then it has not been working. is there a way to find out what path the ringtones have to be stored in. Maybe the path for the ringtones has changed by mistake. i have uninstalled EasyTweak but it still does not work........
Hi biswadeepb,
Welcome to the club (there is endless amounts of gear and addons for this little beauty)
As for using the O2 connect, I've never been able to connect to it using my mini either (I get the same message). Just ring them to get o2 plus emailed to you otherwise its somewhere on this site.
Have fun :lol:
I've tried easytweak too & found out that other programs do approx. the same, so after last weeks hard-reset I didn't reinstalled it. Must have 'messed up' your registry.
The rings folder can be found in the registry, search for 'rings', the patch you've installed uses this value. Thus you can find the current location also with your explorer.
For the mp3's I found this list, maybe it helps:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\MLS\Extensions]
"wmx"="playlist"
"wvx"="playlist"
"wax"="playlist"
"asx"="playlist"
"wm"="audio"
"wmp"="audio"
"wsx"="playlist"
"wmv"="video"
"asf"="audio"
"wma"="audio"
"mp3"="audio"
Cheers, M

My first post in this incredible forum, I have all ready found so much help here and are most thankful, please keep it up.
Is it possible to make your own message sounds and use them when recieving text messages etc.
If possible at all what format should the file be in (mp3 wav)?
Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not an expert so hopefully one will reply, but I think they have to be .wav and I think they have to go in the \windows\rings folder.
cheers

Actually, you are 1/2 right, they need to be wavs, but they go directly into windows, not in the rings folder.
Steve
Yep steve is correct the sound file will need to be a .wav and place into the windows folder, ring tones can be mid,wav and so on and they are placed into the rings folder within windows.
Sound file converter???
Morning all,
My first posting also and yes this has to be the mecca for knwledge of all Wizard related things. My question:
Does anyone know of any software downloads which can convert .wma, mp3 or similar files into .wav??? I'm a complete novice at this sort of stuff but the array of ringtones and message alert tones is rubbish on my K-jam. Thanks for any replies.

You might try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
It's a free download. I use Sound Editor in Roxio's Media Creator 8 -- one of the MANY useful tools in that program.

YW -- (but I'm a GAL -- not a guy)!! LOL!! But, that's ok -- none of my friends can believe how "techy" I am, either. But, I'm the first one they come running to with a problem. Go Figger!!
Cheers all,
You keep refering to ring sounds, I am looking for Sounds for alarms and recieved messages, and alerts in general.
But I will try it now with wav files in stead of mp3.
Manindesert,
I'm using Sound Forge 7, but then again I really need it for all my music stuff, so give Audacity a shot.
Update Works fine with alarm and message sounds, thank you all.
Is there any way, hack or otherwise, that will allow you to point your rings/sounds to your SD card? Thought it would be nice to free some space and stop having to move files on and off the card. I change my ring tone with my mood
Javahater,
I've been loking for a hack/program/setting that will do that, but no luck so far.
Unfortunately, all SMS & ring tones must be located in main memory!
But there's a possibility to create a program that will browse a folder of ring tones on SD card & once u select a tone, it will be copied to main memory (and of course erase the old default tone from main memory) & will set this new file as the default ring tone for the phone.
Javahater and Ezzkht,
Maybe you should look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks scroll down to this "ANY FOLDER RING TONES"
You will need a Registry Editor like Total Commander 2 or PHM Regedit
Hope this helps
Javahater,
Have been trying above solution for about an hour, seems that this solution doesn't work under WM5, or at least it doesn't make any difference if you change the folder or not (it only points to windows not windows\rings)
Will have to keep looking.

Thanks a lot Mikebj, it worked like a charm & without soft reset

AGREED !! I've got WM2003SE tried the steps mentioned http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks no use.......it still picks up the default folder from \windows\rings, where as I am pointing it towards \Storage Card\Sound\ not working
ok just double checked.....in sounds and notifications options it goes to \windows\rings folder.....but I have o2 plus installed as well...and in o2 plus sounds and notifications options it points me to \Storage Card\Sound any ideas ?
Ezzkht,
Happy t worked for you, can't say the same for me.
Well it is getting more and more weird, when I look in my registry it only points to \windows\ not even \windows\rings\, despite this it still manages to pick up ringtones/sounds in the rings directory, and all sound files placed in the root of the SD Card(go figure).
I'm out of ideas right now, but am still looking for a solution and will be back if I find one.
I just used Resco Explorer with the registry editor add-in.
It worked with me without a soft-reset!
What device do you have, Mike?
Maybe some nice sounds
Hello everyone!
It's a little bit off topic, a little bit not
My advice: SD card is not really a good place for sounds, at least in my case. Why? Sometimes it happened that when I got a phone call, instead of my nice ringtone I've heard the standard one. I think it has sth to do with powering up SD card while changing from standby mode. It's just my impression.
Secondly: I'm looking for some nice SMS ringtones, not the funky ones... I'm getting a lot of messages and it's really boring if you hear "Heeeeellooooo! Your message is coooooomingggg!" every now and then. I will appreciate if you could share your ringtone with me

Hi,
I've just got an XDA mini S on O2. Despite the check box in the messages section being unchecked, the sound being entirely off or on vibrate and the setting in sounds and notifications being left off, I still get the really irritating SMS sent message and ring tone. I don't mind the pop up but I want the phone to actually be silent when I tell it to be. I've tried the Reg changes using Total Commander - both SMSNoSentMsg and SMSDisableNotification neither seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad.
Thanks
Tom

I'm not sure what version of Windows Mobile you are using on your device, but there is a way to correct this in WM6. Download and install the program I have attached below and then configure it however you like.
It is called Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. It will allow you change a number of settings including the Message Sent notification.
This should work for you. Good luck!
Dan.
its wm5. the latest from O2.
Would that tool work in wm5?
To tell you the truth, I don't know. I have never tried it on WM5.
The only thing I could really tell you is to give it a try and if it didn't work then what do you have to lose? If it doesn't work then just un-install it.
I tried it and it didn't work.
Thoroughly annoying.

Hmmm... I don't know any other way. Sorry man. Try flashing WM6 to your phone and then install it. This way I know it will work.
Hmmm....
Nice one, I'm using WM6.
I'll try this one this week.

First download totalcmd (another file browser)
Create a blank wav file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created..
It works with some versions of wm5 though, so good luck..
I finally got it to work using the blank wav method above. Took a while as I forgot to change the read only bit. Bizarrely I can't delete the original so currently have 2 versions according to some explorers but only 1 according to others. Either way a test proved that I no longer get the tone.
HURRAH
Fantastic stuff guys, this has been annoying the hell out of me for ages. It is the notification of how much credit left on the PAYG card from O2. Does my head in!
Disable SMS Sent Notification
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
Click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
Name the New Key as "Settings"
Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
Soft reset your device
What about notifications of the network?
There are some notifications (i.e. network messages) that still notify with a sound even when the device is on silent mode. Is there any workaround on this?
Great program! I was wrecking my brain trying to figure out how to disable the notification sound on my Htc Touch, none of the registry hacks worked for me.
Awesome app! I can't thank you enough for posting it--that noise was getting really irritating.
thanks dharvey for the application!!! it works great!! no more irritating notification!!! =)
Hi all,
I am using Elfin for past 4 months.
Earlier i used to put my own ringtones in folder "/Application Data/Sounds" and they worked.
But for past 1 month, no external ringtone put in "/Application Data/Sounds" is working. whenever i set my ringtone through Settings->Phne->Ring tone, it automatically sets it back to Ring-WindowsMobile.
I tried putting ringtones in /windows folder. but still i can only see those in Settings->Phne->Ring tone list and not able to set it.
somebody please help
------------------------
Whenever i try to open any ".mid", ".amr", ".3gp" or ".mp4" file, Windows media player open and displays error msg
"No Combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
'.mp3' and '.wmv' files play well in Windows media player
somebody please help
------------------------
Hi Kaplesh Patil,
1. Did you install any new softwares in your device after which this issue came.
2. Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties.
3. How do your rip those file. Do you use any specific software to do it.
4. If possible can you attach one of your not working file.
Hi HDR87
1. I keep on installing softwares. so its difficult for me to guess after installing which software this problem has started
2.Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties
???? what do u mean by check, i mean how to check.
3. i usually rip .mp3 ringtones by SoundForge. but what i am saying is all same files used to work fine before. but now they have stopped working.
4. Even built-in (factory) .mid, .amr and .mp4 also not playing with WMP.
5. to aggravate my problem, now even built in ringtones like Ring-WindowsMobile have also stopped ringing
It sounds to me like you have something you installed that is causing conflict. You will have to try to figure out what it was that you installed- Try by trial and error remove an app you installed see if it works and so on. Start with apps that are related to the devices audio capabilities - I have read about several people having problems with SRS WOW application.
Note that if you installed an app that created a Registry change, it is possible that even uninstalling the app may not change the Registry values back to normal and if this is what has caused the problem than only a hard reset would work (unless you can figure out which Registry values you need to change and what you need to change the values to.
Sorry I can't be of much more help; however, if you figure out that it is a registry value change and you figure out which values need to be changed, just let us know which ones and we will check what our values are set at so you can make the changes manually.
@ hotrod101
I am currently exploring my registry... If i figure out the values to be modified, i will share here, so anybody having similar problem might be able to use it

hey guys,
i need some help regarding the message tone for the elf. if i set the message tones to a song or any other sound, the tone won't switch off even after i've read the message and is replying.

Dude - you shouldn't be hijacking other peoples threads to ask your question. Use the Q&A Section and start your own thread or even better do some searching. This question has been asked before and even made it into the hall of shame.
To answer your question: If you are going to put a song or a long sound to message tone the whole song or tone will keep playing until it reaches it's end. (it's not like ringer wich is instructed to end as soon as you answer the call. Don't use a long tone or song. If you want to use a song, make sure you edit the song to make it just a short clip of it.
Anyone know the filename and loacation of the SMS sent notification sound, Iv had the same sound for the last 3 phone's and I think its time for a change!
Can it be changed?
where is its location?
do I have to do anything to the registery or just change the filename?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
I just figured out how to change the notification sound for the people who get it!
First download totalcmd "this allows you to replace files in use in the windows dir"
get your .wav or .wma file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created!
Cant belive it was that simple
Total commander link : HERE
Sorry misread your problem......
All you have to do is copy and paste the sound file you want into your windows folder (root) on you internal storage then go settings>sounds click notifications then hit drop down box until sms received etc then click on sound drop down find your sound file and click whatever you want it to do vibrate flash etc the click ok.......and as Gordon Ramsey says done
thx I was wondering why it didn't show my music files when I changed the sms sound. any restrictions to the format (mp3, wma, ...)?
So doesnt anyone know how to do this?
They are in the Windows folder, restricted to wma.

Mine doesn't make any sound when I send an SMS.
I wish it did, or at least give some notification that the message has been sent.
My TyTNII made a sound and displayed an on screen notification. The Leo seems to do neither.

I get both and I like having the notification I just want to change the sound because after 4 years of a really loud "duduling" it gets a little annoying
I did have a rom once on my Kaiser that had a diffrent sound but cant find how to change it anywhere!!!
Did you do anything to set up these notifications, or was it like that 'out of the box'?
I would really like to get them working on mine but failed so far. I've tried Advanced config and managed to get one notification, but since then nothing
Cheers
You get a sound when you SEND a SMS??
As above I get nothing what so ever, when I first got the phone I sent the same message 3 time before I realised it had actually sent!! lol
Another annoying 'feature'......

Does your Leo have an O2 branded ROM?
I wonder if they tweaked the notification bit before they released it.
I got mine SIM free, so it's a vanilla HTC ROM.
Mines unbranded SIM free, so shouldnt be tampered with!

I'll have a dig around the registry and see if I can find anything relevant.
Also trying to create a new folder in SMS. Again easy on my TyTNII but not so easy on the Leo.
I'm not so keen on the HTC messaging app so far.
If you want a delivery report...
Go into ALL MESSAGES when on the SMS tab , then MENU > SETTINGS > OPTIONS and check the box "Request Delivery Report".
Yeah but then every other message in your inbox is a DR!!!
We want a sent confirmation sound/pop up, and I want DR's that dont require opening, and have their own folder........... like a Nokia for example.
Wasn't this a Registry hack on the other WM phones. I remember having to check a box in a config app to get my HD to do this.

Yeah it was a registry setting.
If I remember correctly it was;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
I have that set, but the Leo uses the HTC messaging app, so it doesn't work...
it works however if you disable htc messaging app. thanks for the tip.
