Notification & Alarm sounds

On WM2003SE you could disable most of the sounds, but have things like the text message alert still sound.. WM5 appears to not allow this: turn off Notifications and new incoming text messages are also disabled.
This is really irritating because it means you either have sounds on, and get irritating bleeps WHENEVER you hit ANY button (it seems) - including the start button and any program you hit in the menu..... OR you have no sounds when using the device - but no warning of incoming texts.
Can this be solved??

If you mean the page with the drop down list of events..... there isn't an option for "Start menu"...
Currently trying (on the 'Sounds' Tab)
Events - unchecked
Programs - checked
- Notifications - checked
Screen Taps - unchecked
Hardware Buttons - unchecked
I THINK this is the way it should be for what I want: silent machine unless there's a message/call incoming.

Hi,
Check Sound Schemes and Waveform Audio registry settings @Microsoft (see below)
Works from CE4+. I use an empty sound scheme. Use tascal TRE for editting those REGSZ_MULTI's. Keep 21 lines (events in the scheme (even if the lines are empty!
Or set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute to 0x03.
Only use only WAV-files in \Windows. Sound schemes can be fun.
Why has nobody vere made a Sound Scheme Editor for Windows CE4+?
Should be easy to make.

Hiding System Sound Events
The following system sound events are available through the shell:
Asterisk
Close
Critical
Default
Empty
Exclam
Infbeg
Infend
Infintr
MenuPop
MenuSel
OpenProg
Question
Netbeg
Netend
Netintr
Startup
WindMax
WindMin
RecStart
RecEnd
The Wceshellfe.reg file contains a mask you can use to hide system sound events that do not apply to a target device. The following registry key allows you to set the mask to disable sound events.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event
".Scheme"=".DefaultSounds"
"EventMask"=dword:FFFFFF
"EventCache"=dword:300
;Scheme descriptions
".NoSounds"=multi_sz:"","","","","","","","","","","","", "","","","","","","","",""
".DefaultSounds"=multi_sz:"Asterisk","","critical","default","","exclam","infbeg","infend","infintr","","","","question","Netbeg","Netend","Netintr","startup","","",""
".AllSounds"=multi_sz:"Asterisk","Close","critical","default","Empty","exclam","infbeg","infend","infintr","MenuPop","MenuSel","OpenProg","question","Netbeg","Netend","Netintr","startup","WindMax","WindMin","RecStart","RecEnd"
;
In the registry key, the Scheme setting specifies the current sound scheme. The NoSounds, DefaultSounds, and AllSounds schemes are defined, and DefaultSounds is specified as the current scheme.
The EventMask allows events that do not apply to a target device to be hidden. The mask is a DWORD initially set to FFFFFF, which means all sounds are enabled. The following example shows show to set EventMask to disable Asterisk.
"EventMask"=dword:FFFFFE
The EventCache setting specifies the cache menu popup and menu select.

remove sounds on events as the first tab in sounds and notifications.
I only have the second one down, the first disable screen taps and menu activations
i dont even like the phone tap sounds. i only have programs and notifications, but not events, screen taps or hardware buttons.
then i can control the sounds via the notification tab to choose custom sounds for every event i want.

Diamond Ringtones & Notification

Found the Sounds from Diamond on this thread. Post nr 4!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395400

Nice, thanks!

Sweet! I was looking for a simple download of sounds only. Thanks for the heads up!

Where should I put the audio files? In \Windows or \Windows\Rings directory? I noticed that all files in \Windows\Rings are duplicated in \Windows. Can I delete them in one of 2 locations to save space?

place the files where you like to.
ring-files in windows\rings can be deleted.
ringfiles in windows\ must be replaced with zero bit files to "delete" them.

But if I delete the files from both locations then I will not be able to use them. What I'm asking is in which folder I should put the files so that I can select them as ringtones

I put the tones i want as ringtone in My Device->Windows->Rings

Is it possible to adjust the volume of Diamond's ringtones from my TC?
Thanks!

Yes, I know... But even if the volume control is set to zero or 1 (or 2,3...), volume of Diamond's Ringtone is/will be the same (very high).
Probably is the .wma format???

Hmm.. yes you are right about that! Have someone a solution for that?? why its behave like this

wrong post

ths share

I don't know what i can do...
Ringtones go automatically to \My Documents\Rings folder
Something in the registry?

Sorry, i have this problem: i can't adjust ringtone's volume of an incoming call.
Volume of other notifying sounds (sms, appointments etc.) and music work properly.
Even if i set 0,1,2... or max volume level, it's the same (very high).
I've installed 2 third party softwares: pTravelAlarm and mccMobilFinder (that increase the volume even if it is set to zero); i've uninstalled them, but the situation is the same.
Probably some issue in the registry? Wich are the registry keys involved?
Can you help me please?
Thank you!

I noticed the same problem with volume, cant say why it is so. Its very stange..

HTC TOUCH change lowbatt sound

Hi to all,
I am trying to replace the file "lowbatt.wma" in the /windows folder, in order to have a different low battery sound, but the system does not permit me, neither to overwrite the file. Is there a way to do this action?
Thanks

Check this
I guess the phone wont allow you to overwrite or replace the default lowbatt alarm...since its on the ROM. If your trying to use a customized sound file....make sure its a wav file. Have you tried to just drop that file under the windows directory and then selecting it from under sounds and alerts? I believe this should work.
Good Luck.

Thank you.
The fact is that I do not find the option to change the sound of alarm low battery in the "alert/sound" menu. Where is it? I found only the one to change sound of incoming calls, incoming messages, ecc ecc.

If your using a stock phone you wouldn't be allowed to make this modification from the sounds and notifications option. What you can do then is to add this entry into the sounds and notifications drop down menu. To do tht:
1. Your going to need a registry editing software.
2. Back up your registry before proceeding ( if you havn't already done so)
3. Before you go into the registry, make sure the wav file tht you want to use as your preferred low battery alarm is placed under the windows directory.
3. Navigate to the location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
4. Create a new string value here and call it Default.
5. Set its value to Low battery warning
6. Now go sounds and notifications and under the notifcations drop down you should see the low battery warning option.
7. Select it and assign your customized wav file to the entry.
And your set! Try it out.
Good luck.

Many Thanks, worked a treat!

this might sound late, but use total commander portable

search for application: Tonality
it's the best, and it's free

[Q] Where do I find these (registry?) settings!?

I'd like to back them up into my settings cab file for when I flash my phone again. Where can I find these settings:
- Screen backlight brightness
- Ringtone settings (ring type, what sound file etc.)
- T9 settings (auto complete words etc.)
Thanks!

Hey dude, I think this is the backlight setting:
HKLM\System\GDI\Drivers\BacklightDefault

Angelusz said:
- Ringtone settings (ring type, what sound file etc.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Script
a - show notification
f - backlight on: f1, f0 = off.
p - time to start.
c - loudness: C50, c100, c150, c200.
v - vibration. vX, X = vibration time X=0 - vibrate till end of script
w - pause/wait. wX = X seconds.
r - repeat.

Thanks, I'll try those!
I'm not sure about the backlight one, can't seem to change the settings by changing it.
The ringtone key at RingTone0 looks like the right thing, what's the first key for though? (HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring)
And then there's always the t9 settings.

sry, what do you mean?
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring -> Directory (here the ringtones dir, for example \sdcard\)
then copy the ringtones to "Rings" on the card, then write all file-names in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtones ->you can choose them in settings (you should... did not try that)
could be not very important if you let your ringtones in \windows...

Ah alright, thanks. About the script for the ringtone, I recognize the script I set in settings and tried to modify it through the registry. It wouldn't accept those changes though. Is there a way to make a script that's not one of the basic scripts (as can be set through the settings menu)?

interesting, it works actually... as far as i know its the only way to write own scripts. There is also a prog to edit the vibration settings - VAlert.

How strange. I'll test with it a bit, see if I can get it to work.
Anyone know where the T9 settings are stored?
And how the backlight settings work?

how to disable reduced ring volume on picking up call?

I know there is a feature
" ringer volume level that immediately scales down when the phone detects the touch of your hand"
how can i disable this feature..
I am using energy ROM

Go to your phone's "Settings" tab, look under "Sound and Display", find and turn off the "Quiet ring on pickup" option under Rings and Notifications.

I still cant find it

You might not be able to see the "Sound and Display" option sometimes when you go under your Settings tab. While you're on the Settings page, scroll up on this page to see the beginning of the list. It should start with the "Personalize" option. You should then be able to see the "Sound and Display" option. At least, this is the case for a stock T-Mobile US HD2.

I can find "Sound and Display"
but in it only 2 option - Sounds / Notification

If you can't find the option as mentioned above, just dive into the registry.
HKLM \ Software \ HTC \ Phone \ PhoneExtendSetting
Look for DWORD Value "EnableBePolite"
Set
1 - To enable Quiet Ringer on Pickup
0 - To disable the feature.
If you can't find the DWORD Entry there, just create one them. Simple!

wrong place. You have gone to system "sounds and notifications", where there are two tabs, one sounds, one notifictaions.
From the homescreen, slide along to settings (end tab)
If the top entry on teh settings tab is 'security' then you need to scroll the screen up, where you should see, third from the top, Sound & Display.
Pocket mode toggle and quiet on pickup toggle are there.

start menu, setting, sound, and you'll find it in there somewhere.

Good God man, they can't find a menu in Sense and you send them off to edit in the registry?!? Well, I guess that would stop their posting for a while.

Now why would you do that? These guys are confused as it is already. It's an HTC Sense feature and it definitely can't be found under START -> Settings.
@mikeeed
LOL... I catch your drift , but there are some ROMs where it doesn't show up in Sound & Display.
