Currently on my O2 XDA Mini S if you totally mute all sound or set it to vibrate, it will still play the service sound when you check your balance or get a service message like "You have used 1 minute credit today, after 2 minutes you will be put onto a lower priced talk plan" or what ever you get from O2 after making a call.
Is there any way of turning off or disabling the service sound (which is the default Notify sound) which still plays even though I have muted all the sound options?
I spent quite some time trying to remove the sound and figured out a way...
I used ActiveSync to explore to \windows under 'My Device' and copied notify.wav to my desktop. I then used an audio editor to make it silent and copied it back.
Now when I get the notifications it still plays the notify.wav but it is silent. You could change it to any sound you wanted.

Hi Guys,
Had my m5000 a while now, and just put my o2 pay and go card into it!! However when I put the phone into sound off mode, when my credit alert comes through I still get a beep.
Have tried turning everything off, is there a way to turn the credit updates off. It is annoying after I send a text I get a beep and a popup teeling me my balance.
Anyone know how to turn off the damn sound ??
Cheers
Please ???
There must be some registry hack !?
Have spent hours looking through registry and nothing.
Please someone must have solved this?

Yep thats exactly what I ended up doing !!
ok I have a HTC Trinity and I signed up for Cingular prepaid service. Now each time I make a call and I am done I get an alert saying how many minutes I have used up. It shows up as a notification at the top of my screen and it makes an Alert sound. Now I contacted Cingular and they say the alert is built into their system and they cannot disable it. What is strange is that even when I set my sounds the off and i mute my phone the alert still makes the alert sound! I do not mind the alert showing but not being able to disable the sound at all is annoying. I have tried my sim card in my HTC Trinity and a HTC Hermes running Windows Mobile 6 so it is not like an OS or Phone issue. How come this particular alert cannot be muted? I know I cannot disable the alert itself but surely there is a way to set it so that it doesnt make the alert notification sound every time even when my phone is on vibrate or completely muted?

ok I tried this and I edited notify.wav and made it silent and copied it back, but now it makes this weird short beeping sound, even though when I play notify.wav it is silent. I think maybe the new notify.wav I created is not in the right format?
Could you post the silent wav you created that worked? Please? The sound drives me crazy especially when I am sleeping at night while charging my phone
Hope someone can help....
In Settings -> Sounds and Notifications, I have set the sound for Screen taps to loud and the volume of ringing tone is set to full and on....
After couple of hours, I lost any sound while tapping the screen and can't hear if some one rings me....
It happened yesterday, all worked when I rebooted the mobile.
Today it happened again, but when I rebooted the mobile, the sound came back and now after few hours it is same situation....
I even check the Setting -> Sounds and Notificatons -> Notifications -> Ring type -> Ring
Does anybody know why it is happening..
Ringer problem
I have the same problem too, when I set to ring and vibrate the ringer cuts off. I have now disabled the vibration function but the ringer volume still fluctuates between high and low, or even disappears completely. Any ideas? Apart from this (major) issue, I love the phone...
Just came abouit tis same issue. My ringer seems to fuctuate from low to high and high to low
I've had the complete loss of sound once, reboot helped.
i'm having the same issue!
after going in standby, the phone wakes up but does not ring or play sound anymore (even if you receive a call or a text message).
if you answer to a call, you cannot hear anything in the earpiece and also the microphone doesn't work.
if you soft or hard reset the device, it will work again at the beginning, but the issue will be back in a few minutes.
i verified that if you launch windows media player (or other app that plays audio) when the device has become "silent", will initially result in no sound, then - after few seconds - will make the phone restart (just the phone component, not the xperia) and the sound starts working again.
some times i got also a gwes error, which has made the xperia unresponsive to the touch screen.
btw, i'm very displeased since this device is brand new and was given me by the repair center to replace my xperia (I left it charging battery all night and on the morning was dead...)
I think I'll take it back to the repair center and ask for another replacement...
if you have ms voice command, that could be the cause of your ringer fluctuation.
I had these issues with cooked roms but not the official roms though. recommended using latest official roms with all junks removed.
Hi !
Has somebody found some solution to reduce the delay for the ringtones for blackstone ?
I've installed the second cab here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109) as well as write in the registery (av0pw0r), but i can't reduce the delay under (almost) 2 ring tones, eventough i use a *.wma file.
I've also tried to play on HD tweak (1.7 option), but this does not change anything...
This is very annoying me, i've already lost some calls.
I haven"t tried yet a cooked ROM, but i wonder if this would change something
Please help
make sure the ringtone is on the phone and not card. That helped me a lot.
tks for your answer.
But well, i use (for the moment) the "Alarm-Classic.wav" under windows\rings, so i think it's ok from this side
How much delay do u have ?
hi.
using wma ringtones I get a response on my HD in about 1 ring after a soft reset. From the second call on the HD rings at about half a ring to the caller.
three rings from to wake from soft off.
but i forgot to say that if the phone is already "on", the delay is about 1/2 half ringtone, which is acceptable ! .
It seems that the additionnal delay (about 1 sec.) comes from the phone to go from "standby" to "on"
I've always had a delay with every HTC I've had (C500, C600. E650, Touch HD) using standard and custom ROMs with ringtones as WAV's and MP3's on the device and the storage card. I got used to it ages ago and if the phones on my desk can now predict an incoming call before it rings
Hi,
I was also searching for a solution on the ring tone delay issue. Guess that is a winmobile thing.
However there is no delay if you switch off the ring-tone and enable vibration mode only. That is weired behavior of the phone cause why cannot the ring-tone sound as fast as the vibration comes in vibmode only? And why does the vibration comes as late as the ring-tone when in combi-mode?
I am afraid there is no solution so far...
Regs!
this delay is something you'll have to learn to live with, unfortunately. at least in europe people seem to be finding loud and/or dodgy ringtones not very nice, and when dealing with the wiindows mobile vibrate mode is the one to go for.
another suggestion is to set up a caller tune, people are more likely to wait longer when they're listening to music.
ive found i can get it to ring at 1 ring if i turn off caller id pictures on s2u2
Yeah, the operating system does all the checks and clearing up before handling the call to prevent dropping, the way WM handles things, you can't get way from the delay, slowing the CPU with app like a nuedynamicclock worsens it. Well I notice a call before it rings if it is on

All my wm devices have had this issue. My blackstone lights up from sleep a good 2 to 3 sec. before the first ring. I use the old phone ring tone and have four fairly well spaced rings before vm kicks in. I just count the rings as I get to the phone and it has become a non issue. The hd tweek for it seemed not to have an effect btw. Also I'm with t-mo usa and using their code I have my ringtime set to max rings. which is 30 sec. before vm.
I have an MP3 clip as the ringtone, works fine no issues but every week or so I notice the ringtone has changed to a standard windows sound and the reminder settings switches off vibrate.
I've not found any other settings changed just those two and can't think of anything being done on the phone prior to the problem that could cause it.
Any ideas...

Maybe you delete the file
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
No file is still there, I simply select it again and everything back to normal. It's the reminder that's annoying, it turns off the sound (a standard alarm sound) and just has vibrate which I don't always notice.
Do you connect your phone via Active Sync and then choose "diskdrive"?
I've had the same problem and noticed this happened when i connected to a computer using this option. You probably have this ringtone stored on your SD-card.
When connecting your phone as a diskdrive to your computer the sd-card becomes ïnvisible for your phone (you can't access it anymore from your phone). I guess this is why the phone automatically switches the ringtone back to standard.
Solution: store your desired ringtone on the internal memory.
good luck
Great, thanks for the tip I will check and if so move the mp3 clip to phone memory.
Thanks
