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

This may sound silly, but how do you edit the registry on the xda, I know how to do it on a PC.

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.

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?

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.
I am new to this whole windows mobile stuff, on previous mobiles i have had i have always been able to easily switch between ring profiles (silent, loud, vibrate etc.) however i cant find a way of doing it on my O2 Mini S, am i missing something obvious?
Yeah, something fairly obvious..... the phone doesn't really have them.
You can choose silent, vibrate or ring though via clicking the speaker though. Click and choose off, vibrate etc...
Depends how many profiles you want!
Std (basic) usage:
Set ring tone in the sounds & notifications settings page
Adjust volume on LHS slider
Hold slider "down" to enter vibrate mode (and up to go back to normal)
Click the speaker (top of the windows display) to adjust the master & phone vol (not incall vol, that is adjusted by the slider whilest in a call)
Multi-profile way:
Get software, i use Pocket Zen Phone, but there are others.
Fight through the software config (PZP isn't the easiest to config! but seems good once setup)
I now have:
Sleep mode (quiet but changes to home mode in the morning at 9:30)
Sleep-work mode (as above but gets noisy at 4:45am so the alarm wakes me up for work @5)
Home mode: General mid settings
Work mode: Max vol so i hear it
I can also use windows to adjust in the short term, and simple re-sellect the profile i want to go back to my personal settings (ie a meeting at work i can make it go to vibrate then back to loud after)
yeah i did see that but its not really suitable, reason being i actually want the ring tones to change. The ring tones i use whilst not at work are very unsuitable to use whilst i am at work/meetings etc. Its a pain having to go and change this ring tone each time!
You can also quickly switch to vibrate by holding down the Communications key (left side at the top) and to switch back to ring you hold it down again. Another way is to move the volume slider on the left down and then back up.
Seem to recall using a program called Mortring for this sort of thing but that was a while back, don't know if it's WM5 compliant though.
try searching for Mortring over the site
thanks for the suggestions - i'll give them a try
Yes as somebody suggested PocketZenPhone is a good profile management software.
Also give PhoneAlarm a try. Though this profile management utility is still in Beta-2 phase but to me it looks more powerful than PocketZenPhone, in that it also offers Repeat Alarm function. For each of the 7 possible profiles you can set up a different ringtone. So maybe this addresses your requirement to be able to change ringtones with just a click.
Kind Regards
There is also a profiles management software that ships with the Eten M600
I wonder if anyone tryied to run that on the Wizard?

Check out PZP - change every setting for each profile from wifi/radio/BT to ring tone (for different alerts, ie ring, message, email, etc) auto-switch with outlook meetings etc.
As i said before, it IS a pain in the ass to config (IMO atleast) but once its set its pretty good (also a tip for config is to set the profiles basically on the pda and then edit the files on windows PC then copy back to pda - made my life much easier and also provides a 100% working and very quick backup for PZP as its far too easy to edit 1 setting and break another!)

You just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call?
or
U dont want an INCOMING CALL ALLTOGETHER?
I gather it is the Former coz In the latter simply turn On <flight mode>
U can also set the device to recieve calls without Ringing by setting it to Pick up after <zero> calls.
Using a handsfree here would be an advantage.
U wont Miss any call.
I just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call. Is it possible?

I doubt it... Seems kinda pointless, having the ability to tell you who is calling, but then deliberately turning it of..
yes, but when someone is calling, there is always a delay.
When you hear the first ring, the caller already heard it twice.
Maybe by disabling this, it would speed up the process a bit

That's the network, not the device.
It can't be the network, I never had this problem with my Nokia phones.
I personally think it's a flaw in the dialer application or in WinMobile itself.

Well... The cause may be that, but I doubt showing a caller ID screen will change the times....

I agree with texarcana here, the lights begin to flash on my phone when it rings a good few seconds before the screen get around to displaying the incoming call notification.
This is on WM 6.1, on my new HTC Diamond Touch.
I assume that notifications such as an incoming call or text message are either
A) A windows message sent to a background service awaiting it.
B) An application is executed with parameters describing the event
In either case, i believe it must be possible to redirect the notification in the registry. However, if the notification method is at fault (ie causing slow response, most likely to be true if B above is true.)
I'm going to investigate, I'll post an update of my results.
Im really sorry to bump this really old thread but has anyone solved this?? I would like to disable the incomming call notification too.. cuz I just added a full screen caller ID, but the damn notification pops up and covers the photos of my contacts.. so whats the point of the caller ID if i, not gonna be able to see the pictures
well i know its in Hkey_curent_User\controlpanel\notifications\phone
but im not sure how to disable it...
or even more important (for me) only disable it for a certain #...? thanks! anyonbdy
To Diamond I found. cab which options are unblocking "flash light for." in SOUND & NOTIFICATION it didn't give but nothing. I dug around in the HKLM/Drivers/Builtln/Keylight and Keypad register and I turned off LED generally speaking but I blocked buttons
first you'll need a registry editor, then edit the following key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone
Duration=1
change the 1 to 0
im not sure if this is exactly the fix you were looking for. its intended for stopping he default caller id bubble from blocking fullscreen caller id apps like s2u2.

Didn't work for my samsung i760, what about DispllayOrder? Set it to 0 too? Or what would that do exactly? I'm curious now, it's set to 1 so if all else fails, I could change it back to 1 again... I guess. I'd just like to know first before I go blindly jumping into something.. haha
Sidenote setting it to 0 did work I just had to reset my phone so remember to reset your phone after changing this, I see the curtain try to popup, or at least the frames but nothing after that... Although sometimes it does act buggy and I'll completely miss or be able to answer a call cause my phone will constantly viberate (No pickup on ringtone at all starting) then after the call is missed the viberating will stop but my phone will still be frozen... Thats when the screen is off though..
Okay after a few tests sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't work at all and the curtain will still show up... Then again screen off sometimes the phone wont ring at all, I'm setting it back to 1... LoL
I just wish there was a way or a more advanced notification manager, it should be just like being able to disable incoming text messages and disabling sent message notifications..
____
I'd love a fix for this too, as I already have a picture caller id with PocketX Photo Contacts Pro...
But it's annoying as all get out!! To put it politely, I slide to answer then I've got to press the left softkey too! In order to answer a call, if I could just disable the built in windows mobile caller id curtain then it'd be a heck of a lot easier...
Please let's get a scripter on this to start working their way around and tweaking it to be able to be disabled..
Thanks!!

As for ring delay which is also a few other posters concern of the phone taking it's own sweet time to decide when to start ringing... This is what I used for my i760, I'm sure someone here could turn this into use for any phone make and model:
Ring Time Limit Fix:
**772 [service code]
six zeros for the code (000000)
Scroll down with the d-pad till you see end of basic nam
hit right d-pad to change "exit" to "more"
hit middle d-pad to select
hit the down d-pad 76 times till it says slot cycle index
Change this to 1 or lower EDIT: By entering the value with the number pad and then you hit the middle d-pad to exit.
This changes the frequency at which the phone talks to the tower and will
start the unit ringing MUCH faster. the lower you go the faster but the more battery it uses. I find 1 gets the phone ringing within 3 seconds but doesn't hinder battery life.

I've got mine set to 0 though, but then again, I don't get very many calls, plus I have my phone charging a lot. Also I always carry around a spare extended fully charged battery in my holster... Usually my battery lasts a whole day... But with it set to 0 my phone picks up and rings at the end of the first ring on the callers end.
Im on vodafone uk, and like to check my credit using the *#1345# command which brings my balance up on screen.... but in doing so, plays a tone ... my old 2i never did this. i know the tytn does.... anyone know how i can check me credit silently?
thanks
Anyone have any experience with this? it's just I used to opt for this method of checking my balance as it was silent and didn't require any call.... Not anymore. I have to Mute the phone before I check it in any situation where loud tones arn't desired.
Perhaps you can change or mute this type of notification in TF3D - Settings - Sound - Advanced - Notifications ?
Hope this helps.
Hi all,
Wondered if anybody knows the location of a sound file I'm looking for and haven't been able to find ?
I have Best Reminder installed and have set Alert-Soft as it's reminder tone, and have also set this sound in Settings-Sounds & Notifications-Notifications, as my alert tone for missed calls, new sms,mms,email etc.
So when a new sms arrives for example, windows should make the Alert-Soft sound once, which it does, then Best Reminder should make the sound every X seconds as specified, but everytime the reminder sounds, windows is playing an extra sound as well, I have attached rough recordings of the two so you can hear the difference.
I think windows is playing this because of the missed calls popup it's displaying everytime the sound is played, so I either want to turn off the popup, which would be preferable but I think impossible, or extract the sound file and replace it with a silent version.
The only way I can find to stop it is by unchecking Notifications (alarms, reminders), but this also turns off all other notification sounds, so there is no initial sound when a sms,mms,email arrives, which is obviously no good.
Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
Thanks Dave.
Found a solution to this in case anyone else is interested :
The file making the sound is \Windows\Alarm2.wav and is also used by some of my other apps, so I didn't want to make it silent.
So I made a silent wave file e.g. I called mine Silent.wav, and place it in \Windows.
Then edit the following registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
By default it's set to \Windows\Alarm2.wav so you just need to change the string value to point to the empty sound file \Windows\Silent.wav, and job done.
As far as I can tell this only changes the sound used for notification popups, I've tried all the other apps I use that use Alarm2.wav and they still use it ok.
Hello,
This is the closest thing I could find to an answer to my issue:
I want never to hear the sound "alarm2.wav" again. I hate it. Every time I want to soft reset, every time i want to add a calendar event from email to my calendar (sometimes i have to do like 20 in a row, and i hear that god-awful sound every time) every time any pop-up notifier message appears.
I changed the value for HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
to \windows\quietest.wav
In fact I went to all the settings and changed anything that was alarm2.wav to something else...
But to no avail. I cannot replace the file with another "alarm2.wav" as this is a ROM file and cannot be edited. I am so surprised that this has proved to be such a challenge! I have been able to customize so many things, I never would have anticipated so much difficulty in changing a simple sound
