Volume setting for pda sound / phone sound and phone ringer

I am looking for a way to set independently the
pda sound: like for notifications & alerts
phone sound: what you hear wen IN a call
ringer sound: what you hear when you are called, before you pick up
I noticed phone & ringer share the same setting: So whenever I set the phone sound louder (because i am in a loud environment), the earth begins to shake when I receive the next call.
Any help / suggestions :?:

pda sound: System events can be turned on/off with a tick at Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Volume , but the slider affects all system.
phone sound actually is the system sound.
ringer sound: it should be possible to set it separately in WM2003 - I know nothing about it (still PPC2002PE - xda-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2)

By the way, you can adjust the ringer volume in the entire .WAV file with SoundForge or something like that. And then - volume up!

I figured out to change the volume of the wav / mid.
But still: It should be possible to have the three different volumes set separately.
In WM2003 there are 2 volume sliders: system (notifications & more) and phone (phone & ringer)

Have you seen the Freeware called PocketZenPhone, just follow the thread on this forum. It does what you are looking for plus more. Hope this is what you mean otherwise sorry.

I tried PocketZenPhone.
To me it introduces easy acces to preset profiles very neatly.
But I did not notice that I could set different volumes for phone sound & ringer . . . .
Maybe I have to give it another try.

Yes it does, but it is only since the past few pages that this was implemented and works great.

Extended Ring and Vibration

Is there anyway of extending the ring & vibration duration?

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.
Regards
Charlie

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.
Surur
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!

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.

changing volume ring tones / alarm

Can someone tell me how to change the volume of my ring tone or alarm tone.
This morning my alarm went off so loud it almost gave me and wife a heartattack.

:shock:

Install a register edit program like PHM REGISTRY EDITOR:
http://www.gpspassion.com/upload/regedit.Mrln_ARM.CAB
Find the DWORD key called " RING" ( default @ \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\AutoPickUp )
and change the value to 5 instead of 3 initial.
The ring volume will be now louder !!!

Sorry for the wrong answer, I thought you would make it louder than default.
So just drop the volume down with the button !
:lol:

It works ! Thanks.
This morning I woke up with a more civilized volume
(didn't scre the hell out of me)

I would like to upgrade to the TyTN but I need to known if the is any issue with the phone like it was on the Universal.
When someone calls you does the TyTN ring straight aswait or does it start ringing after3 or 4 ring like it did on the universal.
Is the screen aligment on the TyTN been sorted out?

Well it run TomTom Navigator 6?
Cheers for any input.
Thanks

I have found that there is a ring delay of 1 ring on my Tytn (Vario II). I too had the Universal on trial with VodaUK and the delay was excessive.
The screen alignment issue is only a problem for me if the phone get excessively hot (such as the time I left it near my laptop fan) other than that is works reasonably well.
I have tried TT 5.10 and it ran well.

I think the value varies depending on the settings you have for ring tone, I have "vibrate and then ring" and my default value was "v3w3apw3r". I've been plying with the values and ringing myself after each change, this is my conclusion:
The first '3' specifies the vibrating time before the phone rings, the second '3' specifies the delay after the phone stops vibrating and the ringtone starts playing and the third '3' specifies the delay between repeated ringtones. Correct me if I am wrong

errr.... forget my previous comment, I was wrong but Google told me the truth:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

So according to the data given,
The phone activates and rings. There is no delay between.
...yet there is a decent amount of delay before the device rings on this end.
I don't have tweaks2k2 but it seems it doesn't do any better anyway...

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
I want to get rid of the delay, but I'd like to be able to use PhoneAlarm and they probably aren't compatible.

This fixes this problem. The ring delay is a common problem regarding the power/wake up status of the phone. The fix corrects it.
Download tweaks2k2 from www.tweaks2k2.com, and you will have an evaluation copy which will work for three goes. I recommend you purchase if you're happy with it, it's a great tool, and so many uses! The writer should be rewarded.

where is this app on the url you have provided? I just get a load of ads...
thanks

The url is actually http://www.tweaks2k2.com
EDIT: I can also confirm that this does work.
Looks like it's just a simple reg hack

Call waiting vibration

I am facing a very weird problem:
my phone vibrates on call waiting...
i've had this problem on Energy ROMs from 28May to 12Jun.
At present i Am on :
Energy.BLACKSTONE.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dinik.Glass.Jun.11
it vibrates right at my ear... can't handle it. i have looked everywhere but can't seem to find a setting.
I am even using Task 29 to clear up my device before flashing every new ROM.
Some one please help. i know there could be a registry tweak to disable this. Call waiting vibration = 1, change to 0....
HELP!

You're right!
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting\Script
Change the value to pw3pw3p
p - play ringtone
w - wait number of seconds
v - vibrate
I'm sure there are a few more. But this ought to do the job

Thanks a ton!!

Dude ... i can't thank you enough for this!!! really..!!!
mine was set to pv1w3v1
i was tired of the phone buzzing my ear every time in a call waiting.
wonder where this started from. i have changes 3 ROMs since it first started.
Thank you very Much!! :-D

Call Wait Volume Adjustment
Is there any way to boost the volume of the call waiting tone? Been looking all over for a solution

Thank you so much for this. The vibrate is actually audible to the other line because it's so intense on my TP2. I too had searched all over the phone settings for a way to change this. I don't know why NRG changed the default on this and why it is so cryptic to change!
Much better now thanks!
