You can make it loop if you want
(Looping Ringtones)
This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:
While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...
Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')
"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops
Extending Ring
This may sound silly, but how do you edit the registry on the xda, I know how to do it on a PC.

With one of these...
Thanks Bob
Will give it a go.
will this regedit work on xda II ??
cheers
yes it will work on all Pocket PC variants, including XDA2, MDA2, QTek2020, etc... (as long as they're ARM or XScale).
Thanks for that, will give it a go.
now be able to play with all the REG now.
cheers
Just to add another perspective, the amount of time the phone rings is actually a network setting (the time before it goes to the answering service) and can be changed by sending status codes to the service provider.
I'm sure if you google around a bit you will find the answer, but I changed mine from 20 seconds to 40 seconds, which greatly reduced my missed calls.

Edit: Done the googling for you. Check out this website (Tekguru) with a guide of sorts.
surur - that's a very useful tip - thanks a bunch for that
Hmm, few days ago, I found this reg values in the registry. I try some variations but with no success. I will check it again.
Maybe
a = alarm
v = vibrating
??
So, can I setup my phone, to vibrate periodic, while ringing continous a long WMA? Easyer to notify periodic, short vibrating, and it reduce battery usage I think.
Another question. I like siemens phones, because it plays a signal continously, while the ring-echo tone is hearable. It is good, because sometimes the started call interrupted.
With other phones like XDA, there is no signal while I waiting for the ring-echo tone. Sometimes the initiated call is interrupted, and I waiting for the nothing. The phone not notify me that the call is not completed.... :?
Can I make a Siemens-like tone for dialing?
(Can you understand what am I writing? )
Thank you!

It works also with MS Smartphones (SPV, etc...)
Extended rimg on Orange
Does extended ring work on UK Orange? If so what are the numbers?
Thanks.
i used a wma file for my incoming SMS, but when a message arrives and i am reading it, the wma file just keeps playing. Can i set this in such a way that when i open the message, the music stops?
thanks
here is the documentation on how to set ringtones
i checked msdn , but couldn't find anything about the 'script' values this doesn't mean it isn't there, maybe I'm temporarily blind.
I would like to have my ringtone Vibrate then loop without pause with increasing volume, so i tried all the possibilities in phone settings and checked the registry :
Code:
script for ring : apw3r
Increasing ring : c50apw3c150r
ring once : p
vibrate : av3w3r
vibrate and ring : av0pw3r
Vibrate then ring : v3w3apw3r
so as far as i could figure out :
v3 stands for vibrate 3 seconds and v0 stands for Vibrate continuous
p stands for play
w3 stands for wait 3 seconds
c50 sets the volume to 50 ? and C150 adds 150 ?
a & r are used as begin loop & end loop
so my final script is v3w3c50apc150r which means
1) vibrate 3 secs
2) wait 3 sec
3) set vol to 50
4) play
5) add 150 to volume
6) repeat from step 4
I'm not exactly sure about the volume settings, but it works (as long i don't change the phone settings thru control panel)
hope this helps anyone

Nice M4io, I'll try that. thanks bro.

You can change the script in the registry. However, whenever you open the Phone Setting and click OK (since there's no Cancel button), the new setting will overwrite your modified script.
I like staccato vibrating while ringing normaly.
Like this:
Code:
ring: -------------- -------------- ------------
vibr: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I tryed some code variations, but didn't work.
In my Phone Profiles you have "staccato" vibration. I named it: pulsed vibrate. Both for rings and sms alerts.
I know that many users have problems with my Phone Profiles, but also I know how many users use it without problems (believe me: more). I still improve my softeware and make modifications and fixes. The problem depends from another software inside your hardware. Most of them are because IDCaller is inside the default OEM system in some hardware and users cannot remove this program. Alternatively you have not to use a advanced features from my software.
I give a free trial version to check how it works with your phone.
When I set "Vibrate and Ring", the vibration continue during the whole playing of MP3 file.. :-( Is it possible to make th? vibration work interrupted?
Otherwise I can assign only short MP3 files for the ring...
Use 'Vibrate then ring' instead of 'Vibrate and ring' to solve this ;-)
Regards, M
But I want Vibration alo during MP3 play. :-( No other way?...
Not that I know of, even all profilers I've seen are using the default options.
Maybe one, like VIJay555 or Zendrui can built it?
Cheers, M
Maybe it is possible to set Vibration-time and Vibration-pause in the Registry??
Well it seems you can get it with PocketZenPhone
http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewtopic.php?t=12
I didn't read the manual & hadn't explored it enough, Zendrui made it clear again:
zendrui said:
in PZP there are 2 kind of ringtone : "short vibrate and ring and "vibrate and ring".
The vibrate lenght is configurable in seconds "short = 1sec", "vibrate = 3 sec"
Probably other values can be possible ...

& I must say PZP is a wonderful profiler, I can recommend it.
Cheers, M
Thank you a lot! I'll tryit!
Sorry - no success..:-( Only Vibration (long or short) then - the ring using MP3 file...
I got the same effect, too bad I really thought PZP was doing the job. Maybe I wasn't clear enough or maybe a magician reacts different in this case. Anyway I'll ask zendrui again.
Regards, M
Really! If it is possible to make short or long Vibration with the some software-tricks - so it may be possible to add some string into the Registry (by hands! Without any 3-d software - it's more constructive) to have Vibration work not continuously DURING the ring with MP3!...
But who knows how to do it....
When you open the PZPmode?.txt files in PZPmodes, you can see what Zendrui puts into the reg. for the different switches. Now only you need to know what they mean. Probably all described in a SDK or so.
Cheers, M
Thank you! It's really interesting, but doesn't solve the problem....
Hi everyone. I have searched a lot in the forums and even though I found a few threads that raised this question, none of them provided a solution, so here's the question yet again.
Is it possible in Windows Mobile (I have 6) to have something like a pulsating vibrate while a ringtone is playing??
I tried fiddling with the script in the registry HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds\ringtone0\script, but couldn't get it to do what I wanted. The best I could manage was a repetitive vibrate without ringtone, and the repeat couldn't be less than 1 second.
Does anyone know of ANY way of having pulsating vibrate while ringtone is playing, be it a comercial program, or a registry setting, or something like mortscript????
Does no one have any suggestions like where to look either?
Bump.
I'd like to know this too

I searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... Hope I am posting in the right forum for this particular topic.
Anyway - I recently flashed my ROM to DCD's 3.1.2. I missed a step in the process and ended up with a Sprint phone for a day or two before I had time to switch back.
One thing I REALLY liked about the Sprint version was that when I had the phone set to vibrate and I got a text message or email, it gave two or three quick little vibrations... Now, after flashing properly, my vibration notifications are what they were with Verizon's stock ROM - an extremely long and loud vibration that draws more attention in a meeting than if I had the sound on!!
Any ideas on how to change the vibration back to what the Mogul has? I really like the quick and quiet vibrations.
Thanks!
Nobody? Should I have posted this in the Upgrading forum instead?
Just in case I didn't post clearly: When in vibrate mode and receiving a text, email, phone call, etc., on my Verizon xv6800 with DCD's 3.1.6 rom, I am getting one long buzz that is quite embarrassing while sitting in a meeting.
What I am looking for is to have it give two or three quick buzzes. I don't want a program to do this - I want to know if anybody has a registry hack or even a CAB file they have developed for this???
Like I said originally - when I accidentally flashed with Sprint's customizations, I got the three quick buzzes...
Anybody know the registry difference between Sprint's customizations and DCD's or Verizon's that causes this long buzz???
Thanks!
Ok - that's weird that you get a long buzz on a vibrating text notification. I'm using an XV-6800 with the stock ROM and get three short vibrations when I get a text message or e-mail notification.

this has been covered before. First, you need a registry editor, as one does not come on our phones. I use PHM Regedit. Navigate here from within the regeditor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB]
Edit the following:
"STRENGTH_LOW"=dword:00000000 (click on the name and change the "value data:" to 0)
wait 10 seconds or so, soft reset, and problem solved!
btw, PHM regedit can be found here if you need it: http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
i highly recommend you use the desktop installer to ensure you get the correct version on your phone.

Hey All,
I've been having this problem with inordinately long vibrations as well. (Sprint Mogul, running 20270)
I went to make the change mentioned in the previous post, and it's already set to 0. Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Note this is the vibrate that occurs when sound is *on* not off... I want to be able to get a vibration in addition to the sound for when I'm in a loud location.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I agree. I hate the extremely long/loud vibrate notification and would love to know how to change it?!

Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help
When I receive an SMS the phone vibrates for a good 3 seconds or so, after the alert tone has finished. Is there a way to reduce the duration of the vibrate? I've done a forum search and a few people mentioned registry values (V3 = vibrate for 3 secs etc) but I've had no joy in locating them. What I want is like an old style mobile phone, you get an SMS, the alert and vibrate start and stop at the same time.
I'd even settle for a 3rd party app (although I read about one which disables the hardware buttons!) I've tried different alert tones and different sound profiles but none give me the desired effect.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
also looking for this,
it is waisting battery and is irritating.
some help please.
