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.

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 been reading a lot of these forums about activating A2DP with a mono-bluetooth headsets, and found (in different places) some different ways, (change a couple of registry settings and with some pocket pc/headset one had to change a file called BTAGExt.dll)
I have made a CAB file for these hacks and also included the file "BTAGExt_new.dll" I call it _new because I change the registry to locate this new file instead of the old, that way one doesn't have to overwrite the dll file and can, if problems occur, change in the registry instead. The file is needed for some (me included) that are having trouble with music playing in the headset for about 10seconds.
Anyway, i have made a self-installing cab file for this, so that other people may use it easily, without need of hacking the registry, one does not need to use btaudioon and similar program to make this work,
EDIT: AS many people pointed out, here are the instructions to USE this , sorry for that:
Originally Posted by GarrisRP

It is nice to see my little hack being used
BE AWARE:
*VoiceCommand DOESN'T WORK!! (since my cab disables it in favour of all-sound in headset)
*I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if this crashes your phone or anything else, USE IT AT OWN RISK!
* It only changes this things:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll"
Then do a soft-reset and voila, the sound should work.!
This worked great with my X01HT and Motorola HS850.
I used this too with my Sony HBH-60 bluetooth mono headset and it worked perfectly for me too .
Much better for listening to podcasts while in bed!
(no more strangling myself with earphone wires! )

I am not sure, but I belive that if you uninstall it it should go "back" to normal.
otherwise, the "normal" would be
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a (this setting just changes the soundquality)
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050 (this too delete if not wanted)
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e (and this, delete if not wanted)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c (delete if not wanted, better quality)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1 (KEEP!)
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180 (change to 30seconds or whatever, dword:30)
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have) (delete this file!)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll" (change to BTAGExt.dll)

Thank you very much.
I use the audio to bluetooth feature with skype as it would otherwise send the sound to the loudspeaker, which, in a public place is not really convenient.
Now, with the code to "on" the sound and the code to"off" it, maybe there would be a simple way to create an app which would toggle from one state to the other? would you know how to do that ? alternatively, is there some kind of scripting tool for the ppc that I could use ?
thanks in advance,

Interestingly, this makes A2DP to transfer everytig in mono on my other MS BT stack-based devices, as has also been pointed out in my related article - are you sure this is the original value?

I believe that it is, at least on my device, but I may be wrong, it was long since I did my cab file. so not 100% sure no,
I was as curios as you, could it be that it uses mono to save bandwith? and thereby increase the range of the bluetooth?
but hey, I am no expert, I roughly took reghacks from around this forum and put together a cab file, I tried to make the cab to produce the best sound availible to a monoheadset, and nothing more, nothing less.
as it were a couple of weeks ago I since I did this i don't really remember every detail of it, but I believe most of this is stated in the hermes_wiki

Mic on bluetooth headset
I wanna know if I installed this file to use something like Skype, can I not only hear the sound from my Bluetooth headset but also speak through the headset too?
How do I get back to normal?
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing the file above. The installation process went well, but immediately following the soft reset, I noticed that my phone screens and response to menu picks was considerably slower. My phone locks up all of the time, and I am unable to toggle the bluetooth on and off. I tried to uninstall the application, but I get a message at the end saying that it was unable to completely remove the program. Wondering if anyone could help me to get to the registry and change the settings back to normal. HELP!!!!

Thank you for the cab/hacks. None of the other alternatives worked on my 8525. Now if someone could incorporate this into someway to switch between modes, that would be great. Right now, I install and uninstall the cab several times a day! I get nervous that the registry will get corrupt from all of the install/uninstalls.
Thank you very much!
Hi!
thanks for all the appreciation about my cab! I am happy to see that others are using it and are happy about it
I also noticed that some people has problems with it,
dhenry88: Try and install it again, otherwise, try and revert the setting yourself, I posted the "original" settings a some time ago in this thread, so go get a reg-editor and hack it
because that is all the cab-file does, changes registry (and copies a file to /windows/system32
however, this file is not important for the os itself (because I change the registry to find the changed file, not changing the file and overwriting the original.
but sorry to hear that it had such bad performance on your phone, it shouldn't do anything like that, but hey, every phone is different.

Indeed this is a great little program and I'm very thankful for it. Like lantern, I think it would be great if someone could figure out a way to switch modes easily as I'm unable to initiate a voice call through my Bluetooth headset with this program installed. I too have to install/uninstall the cab many times each day. I’m certainly not complaining, just expressing a wish.
When I receive a call and put the phone to my ears, the speaker is too loud even set to minimum, Is there a hack that can adjust this?
If I put everything on speaker phone, the speaker is also too loud but not so anoying, but on the other hand people complain they don't hear me, so the mic
is set too low.
How can I modify this, help needed.

Why not just lower the volume. Better too loud than too soft... right?
The volume is set to minimum and is still shouts.
And I keep asking people to speak a little bit more quiet and thay say they speak normal.
So my speaker is ultra I suposse, but can I shut it up a bit?
Have exactly the same problem with all 3 M3100's that I've had. Is yours an M3100 too?
I notice that on hard reset, when the extended ROM is executed it runs an application called something like AdjustAcousticProperties. I wonder if this is doing it?

... whereas on the stock HTV Tytn, the volume is too low! If there's any way of extracting this AdjustAcousticProperties, it might be a real plus for us Tytn owners for whom the volume is too low.
Thanks!
Yes, mine is SPV M3100 too. I will look at the extended rom folder If I have that file.
Any solution?
The file would be great, thanks.
The only solution I can think of is a hard reset and an interrupt when the extROM cabs are loading (eg, don't let the AdjustAcousticProperties load)
Donno about you guys .. but my TyTN .. on speakers .. even with the lowest volume .. SEEMS WAY TOOOOOO LOUDD ...
Yes, on speakerphone, but we're talking about the earpiece volume here, I think...
PLEASE! if you can extract this file I'll like to try it out.
My earpiece of the tytn is SSSHHHIIIIITTTTEEE! its way to soft for me also.
I'm sorry your having the complete opposite problem that some of us are. I wish i could offer a solution for you but if you can offer a solution to some of us, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, can't see the CAB for AdjustAcousticProperties in the list anywhere, unless I'm being blind...
Anyone help? I'd love to increase the earpiece volume on my Tytn
I presume it's a .exe file buried inside one of the CABs. not sure how you go about decoding the contents of them though as all the files are renamed.
[edit] Just been looking around inside the CAB's using 'Wince cab manager' and nothing appears obvious. I'm sure I'm not dreaming... maybe the application is buried in there somewhere but the name isn't obvious as I have definitely seen it displaying something very close to 'SetAcousticParams' or 'AdjustAcousticProperties' during the execution of a contents of the extended ROM.
If I get time tomorrow I'll do a backup and then do a hard reset to check.
Andy.
Andy,
Great, many thanks!
Just did a hard reset - First thing it does when running the Extended ROM is at the bottom of the screen it says "Running SetAcousticParam.exe /Run..." which takes about a minute to run. Then when it installs the other CAB's you see "Installing ...... " at the bottom of the screen instead. Not sure where the exe is coming from now to be honest as it *doesn't* appear to be in the CAB's.
Andy.
Hmm, interesting. Don't suppose this file is buried somewhere in you windows folder heirarchy is it?
Thanks for helping out here!
Isnt there a reg key u can change the quality level and other things for speaker and speaker phone ,
I rememmber it on my htc wizard.
Hi!
I have totally opposite problem; my original handsfree is too quiet when listening music via Media Player. Every sound setting in the device is at maximum; Media Players volumebar is set to 100%, I scroll devices overall volume to max and slide that little knob at the HF to max. Yet it aint as loud as I would like to. And no, I´m not half deaf or such.
Allso while listening music without HF, I would like to have the device more louder.
Any hints about good 3rd party equalizer programs out there? Like such that the WinAmp (for Microsoft XP) EQ is.
Karzi, yes theres these regkeys which enables one to adjust the quality of the audio, but not it loundness. So I keep searching for programs what would allow to adjust even music loudness, ie equalizers. Anyone?

Hello
I have my p3600 now for three weeks it's perfect but when i use my motorola 820 stereo headset (trough bluetooth ) A high tone is on the backgrond .
I have HTweakc and tried all four types and the high tone wont go away
I personally find that a2dp is best after I've deleted all a2dp settings in the registry, then soft reset.
Thank's bbobeckyj
But where can I vind this registry I don't know wat to look for.
The new dopod rom (the updated one) seems to have fixed my A2DP issues

I my experience trying different roms on both the trinity and the wizard, deleting the whole A2DP folder has produced the best results. I assume that the headset also is a big performance difference for everyone. I think that once you delete that folder, the settings automatically self regulate to the best/optimum.

Hi m8, are u sure you mean the WHOLE of the A2DP folder? Surely it's just the "Settings" sub-folder, as the parent seems to contain device specific data for the headset(s) you have paired?
Even so, I totally agree with the principal... delete all from the "Settings" sub-folder and the A2DP is DEFINITELY giving the optimal quality stereo! (Remember to let the two devices skip etc. a tiny bit when u first kick off a song/media file as they have to be allowed to auto-negotiate the optimal connectivity settings between PDA and Headset... but once that is done, it's pure joy all the way!!)

Yep. It is the whole A2DP folder. After I pair a headset afterwards, if I look into the registry again, the A2DP folder has been created, with only the settings folder in that. Which confirms that the ppc and headset can create their own optimal settings.

I'm curious, what was your prroblem before? did it skip/pause often? I record all my music with the lowest possible bitrate, so quality is not so much an issue to me. maybe the sound is poor because that is the best your hardware can properly support(?)
either way, can you not you not use the tweak prog to use mono?
Alright
I have deleted the settings folder the high tone looks to be les but I am stil working on it.
I can stil not understand it what went wrong ,I had the Imate jam with The A2dp patch from HTC it was perfect ,you would think that they make it better the next time but it's les .

it had a high pitch in it, high bitrate and stereo at the same time gives sound problems.
so, or a lower bitrate, or no stereo was for me the solution.
meanwhile, i switched to INDIGO WM6. haven't tried BT stereo headset.
but thats another subject. see trinity mobile 6 sub-forum...

heyz i cant find this registry! i'm a noob here. how exactly do i find this registry to delete? lets say from my pda, i go file explorer, then wat?
i'm having the sound loss problem by the way
you need a registry editor on your pda, use google to find one, i used the shareware version of SKtools, if you use the find option it works fine.(shareware was only up to show six lines in registry)
hope it helps.

i just purchased sk tools. yea, now i can find that directory lol. i've just deleted the entire a2DP folder, and will try out my headset again later. hopefully it solves my sound loss problem, i will post my results here later. thanks to bbobecky and stormyb for your patience. hope this works
alright, now its worse. once the sound stops, it DOESNT COME BACK ON!!!!!
bump for unsolved problem
I KNOW. there are many threads about this.
As you might agree with, the ring tone volume is one of the worst things with this phone.
I've looked everywhere for an anser to this question but they just keep complaining, not explaining.
The Xperia ringvolume is too low and i'd realy like some one to tell me how to fix this. Both in multimedia and when it rings.
I've tried the AudioPara3 and the SRS and neither worked.
please...
The volume on mine is plenty loud, you sure it's not the ringtones you are using? I have heard of people damaging the speaker with excessively loud sounds being played through it.

This is what half the peaple say
It depends on what you are use to.
My very old k500i is about the same as the Xperia but my last phone and the one before that (k850i, k800i) felt like more than double the volume of the xperia.
With the k850i i listend to some music once while driving the car and i had volume 7/10 and it was REALY loud and clear but now with the xperia i have it on max volume and it's barley hearble.
I know the speaker could do better because i tried converting a song with 600% volume and it realy went louder without any distortion at all.
I don't want to do this to every song i want to listen to since i have about 800 of them...
What baffles me most is the freaggin' speaker location. The handset is designed for right-handed use. However, the speaker broadcasts sounds on the left side of the handset (with slide closed). Therefore, it's easy to muffle any sound broadcast from the handset if cupped with the left hand. The scenario proves the same if trying to converse in speakerphone mode. You constantly need to re-adjust your hand in order to not muffle the sound.
I would agree that the speaker volume is softer the most SE handsets. I still have my 3 yr old P990i around which utilizes the same incoming call wave file. There is a very significant (at least 2:1) difference in volume between the two.

it really is terribly placed; that little slit is so easily completely sealed off by even a fingertip.

You can find some useful information there. On most of the threads I have been through, most of the people recommend OPTXperiabeta02.cab.. Will try to find a link to download and post it here.. But, I haven't tried it myself yet, so don't kill me if it damages your speaker.. People who have used it said that they had to decrease the volume, so I would advice you to do the same
OPTXperiabeta02.cab here
I used this fix posted in another thread before.
IT Works GREAT, the volume is a lot higher than before!
It's called optxperia beta version 2 from http://ixperia.ru/soft/winmobile/51-opt-xperia.html
hope it helps!
Where can you find the app after you have installed it? Can't find it either in programs, nor in settings.. And it doesn't seem like the sound have improved any..
I find that cranking up the System Volume (not just the Ring Volume!) is a must when using mp3's as ringtone... otherwise it's v. quiet.
It should have prompted you for a reset after installing the app.
It can be found in settings -> remove programs -> it's called Auanti by Davide Gialli OptXperia
I just installed this and....wow, this may be too loud..lol good find. thanks a lot.

I removed it, and downloaded it from another site, and that one prompted for a soft reset. But I was just wondering whether you can edit the options (HOW much loader, if it only works when you receive calls, or also playing music, etc.)..? I found it on the location you posted, but there I can only remove it When I woke up this morning, the alarm sounded much higher than before, I had to turn the volume down, so I think its working quite well
Be careful with that cab - it does a fair few things:
1. Replaces 3d driver
2. Adds HTCAPI.dll to Windows (used by some 3d apps)
3. Replaces audiopara3 files (controls volume amongst other things)
4. Amends the threaded SMS layout
5. Replaces MMS settings
6. Turns off SIP autodeploy
7. Amends RAM cacheing etc.
8. Amends SD read settings
9. Changes Wifi g settings.
I'm sure they're all improvements on someone's ROM, somewhere but may end up messing up yours.
Seriously, get yourself MSCEInf and analyse these before installing - it's an extremely useful program. The only part you need is the audiopara3 csv files...

Is there a guide to this akp?
Ok so definately increases volume?, but does that result in noticeable lack of quality? (ie do louder tones sound bad)
Would it be possible to install this after flashing to Touch it or Touch X rom for example? or would that be incompatible?
thanks

Thanks so much for the info. I installed this program awhile back, and though the volume is better, I've had little problems with my phone since. Do you know if uninstalling the program will change the settings back to what they were before? If not, I need to flash a new ROM, anyway.

SAME HERE!! akp plz get back to us... i JUST did my recent flash and got everything installed and tweaked the way i like... and i stumble across this..
frustrating indeed..
do we need to re-flash. or can we just UN-install. and then get the right audiopara3 csv files that we need?
