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.

Help needed with 2 things

1) You know how you press the call button from the main screen and your touch dial pad shows up? For some reason, mine no longer does that. Anybody know what I did wrong and if there's a fix?
2) Is there a .cab to fix how emails save to your device in the windows messages folder so that I don't run low on storage memory (also so I don't have to physically go in and delete stuff)?
Any help here will be gladly appreciated.

1. Usually to show the keypad its the left softkey. I dont know of anything you could have done so it doesnt show. You can try an install a new Dialer I personally really like this one but you can search around if u want something different.
2. go to Messaging ( your SMS/MMS application ) Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Storage (tab) and check "When available,use this storage card to store attachments"

HD2: Change Low battery notification sound?

Hi, my first post here.
I hope this hasn't been asked before, but I have searched and not found the answer.
Yesterday, my HD2 rang it's usual ringtone several times, but no caller was displayed. I then realised it was actually the low battery notification. I have no idea how it came to be using my ringtone as the notifier, as this is a custom MP3, not one of the on board tones, but is there any way to change this?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

Can anyone help with this, please?

Yes, I'd like to know how to change low battery warning sound too. Right now, mine is just a short beep.

Modify the Low battery warning
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning".
Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it.

the simplest way is go to Setting => Sounds & Display => Notification sounds => Reminders then you can pick one you like for low battery warning

No, it isn't, because the option isn't there until you perform the reg hack above.

Excellent tip. Thanks a lot!

HD2, default notification message open when battery level is 10%, how to change this value to 15% or 20%?

So...
The other day my HTC HD2 spoke to me and told me the battery was low... it was a real voice and others heard it too. I have had this phone for well over 6 months and I have drained the battery before, but it has NEVER spoken before.... I am going to try your ideas for changing the notification, but I didn't know that you could change the low battery notification nor that having a spoken notification was an option- it is a little creepy...

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.

HTC custom notifications

is there a way to change the notifications into different sounds than the default ones they give you. I have othr mp3 files I would like to have in place for the default ones they give

please offer a little more information on the background. what rom are you using? what exact notification are you trying to replace? have you checked the "sounds & notifications" settings, whether there is the option which you are trying to change?

rom, i have no clue,, but i got the most recent update form tmobile, and been adding things from other users,
I checked sounds and notifications, but yet I cant find the folder thhat can be used for notifications

Hi,
The way I do it is put all the ringtone files you want to use in the folder on the root of your SD card called My Documents (if it's not there then create it).
Then got to Settings/Sounds & Notifications - select notifications tab at the bottom. All the files you added to the folder should be in the dropdown now.
Hopefully that helps.
Cheers.
