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!

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.
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!)

i am going to try pzp, i'll let you know how i find it. thanks for your help.
Is there something like a registry hack or aplication, that would turn of my diplay during phonecalls? I guess my ear is oddshaped and during a 5 minutes phonecall I am able to start 10 different aplications
Yes. It's called the power button. Just press it once you've gone into a call.
At least, that's what I do
V
1. Try Phonealarm. (http://www.pocketmax.net)
Either feature of that application is turn off the display during call.
(and it's have more useful features!)
2. Moreover set in the registry:
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Power:
- DisableGwesPowerOff 1 to 0
- WakeupPowerOff 180 to 15 (in case of an event)

## TamerSpClock v1.4 ##
Last update 13 Dec 2008
"TamerSpClock" is a Windows Mobile 2003/5/6 software which lets you take hand over your time to the max. It is a fully customizable speaking clock & a chimer.
- you can choose a THEME of time intervals of 1 ,5 ,15 ,30 or 60 minutes ,Then you can choose actions to be done on these choosen theme intervals.
- you can adjust when to speak time or chime and when to mute in a way that differs from other programs by means that you can set multi portions (intervals) of time that mute the program automatically for daily use. you can access the file "Validity.ini" found in the folder named "settings" inside the program installation path. this file can be edited by any notepad or word (pocket or pc word) then you can specify at what hours to work on and what to mute (just Change validity = 0 corresponding to hours that needed to be muted & Change validity = 1 to the rest of the hours).
- The program can wake up the device without waking up your screen conserving your battery life and will chime even if the ppc is sleeping or in a deep sleep, The software have a feature that can force the screen not to wakeup (BlackMe feature) at chiming times or (if you choose to) to leave it to the current windows mobile configurations (settings) to decide ,this is useful for some ppc that wakeup the display on every chime which may have negative results on battery life.
- you can put your own wav files to be chimed ,just insert them in folder "Wav" found inside installation directory but use the same names of course.
- This software differs from other similar products in that if you choose for example 15 minute iterval for speaking the clock ,it wll activate itself and speak time on whole miute numbers like 15-30-45-60 and will not just repeat the choosen interval starting from the time you switched it on which results in speaking times like 4:52 and 7:27 etc.
- you can choose or omit salutations like "the time is" & "Am ,Pm" & saying "Oclock" at the whole number hours. this can be customized using the provided links to enable and disable the action features.
- you can choose whether to use vibration or no with the chiming process.
- you can stop all software processing events by one finger click.
- Software will automaticaly activate itself and work again after any restart of the device.
- you can set an action like signal check to work with Themes (feature to check signal strength every x time) if the signal drops ,it will announce you with an alarm ,this feature only works if the phone is on and the signal is less than 40%.
- you can set an action like Zekr which can help Muslims remember their Lord every 5 minutes with a low volume sound saying God is the most Great. This option acts solely without dependency of the choosen theme interval since it have a fixed firing every 5 minutes (take it or leave it).
# How to install Cab file of TamerSpClock:
1- For versions prior to v1.4 you must download MortScript from the following link
(Version v1.4 & above already have it embedded inside software)
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...=view&entry=65
This software acts like an environment for "TamerSpClock" to work. please note that "TamerSpClock" cannot run without installing this software.
2- Transfer cab to any place on your ppc using active sync or any other communicating software.
3- Choose whether to install to Device or to MemoryCard ,It is very important to choose the installation target location during the setup process corresponding to the version you downloaded whether it is on memory card or on phone. Note that program is hard coded ,this is why this point is very important for the program to work.
4-For Version v1.4 & above before running program ,press the icon named "RunFirst" prior to run the program (This acts as if MortScript Cab is installed)
This software had been tested on HTC Tytn & found stable ,Also can work on any windows mobile device.
I have been looking for an hourly chimer that does not wake up the screen. The disappointing thing about this one it it is hard coded to run from the storage card. Can this be modified to use variable paths?
One issue I have with installing to the storage card is Windows Mobile unmounts the card to save power on some devices. I also change my card based on what I am doing. I keep my maps on one card and my MP3s on another.

Added 2 versions ,one if you want to setup on the Phone Main Memory & the other for Storage Card.
This really sounds great - but how to use it?
I am no expert in programming or in mort scripting.......
I would like to use this feature: "you can set an action like signal check to work with Themes (feature to check signal strength every x time) if the signal drops ,it will announce you with an alarm ,this feature only works if the phone is on and the signal is less than 40%."
But no speaking clock, only those alert, when signal drops.
It should check every minute.
What do I have to enable/disable for that?
And how to let it run, when my touch is sleeping?
Thanks!
I'm using a TyTN II. Great software.
Like to feedback that when I was using my bluetooth headset, when the phone is off (no display), announcing (audio) could be heard and vibration. When I don't use the bluetooth headset (bluetooth is off), and phone is off (no display), I don't hear any announcement and there is vibration only. If I turn on the phone now, I will hear the end part of the time announcement.
Is this normal?
Thanks.

Zard .. if you enable the black me feature the speaking clock can be capable of walking up the device to say time at chosen theme points without walking up the screen. So i advice you to enable the blackme feature as long as the phone is in your pocket. if you are using the phone for an instance or a period of time you can disable the blackme feature since when you are using the phone the feature will be annoying.
in some devices (devices differ in reaction to wakeup) the phone cannot wake up to say the time if it is sleeping ,this is why i made the blackme feature. So the solution is to enable it.
Also if you go to programs menu in the start button you will see a pack on enable & diable features. you can choose what ever you like to enable and what to diable.this features can be clicked (enabled or disabled) & once confirmed you will notice that it will be active wherever any theme is choosen. iam sure that the blackme feature is able to walking up the device to say the time whether your device is in sleep or deep sleep.

Kino-Kino .. first of all open the start menu programs ,you will find 2 folders ,one is named enable & the other named disable. now you are ready to open each and click what ever features you like to be enabled and whatever to be disabled.
At this time you are ready to go for the Theme selection which means at what intervals you want the choosen features to fire ,you can try the "01M" which means that the software will fire every 1 minute to execute the selected feature (or features if you choose others).
For example ,if you want only the signal detection feature ,go to disable folder and click all features to disable them all ,then go to enable and only click the shortcut named "Signal".
Once done .. every 1 minutes (since we choosed "01M") the phone will execute the selected feature (or features). in some phones the system cannot walkeup itself to execute the so called notification tasks at given times if it was in "Sleep" or "Deep Sleep Mode". So you can check your phone reaction to such notification tasks.
To make sure we are ready to go ,you must check first that your phone registry key when the phone is on and receiving signal looks like this :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone] the value of "Cellular System Available" must be 65
to do this test just download Fred Taskmanager free from this link
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
once downloaded install it ,open it and go to RegEdit tab and go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone] & check for "Cellular System Available" number .. it must be (65) i mean the number between brackets.
If this is the case ,the program will correctly do the job. but if it isnt (may vary from phone to another) ,then this number must be modified in the software to read correctly ,Go to program installation folder " \Program Files\TamerSpClock\Data\Signal.mscr " rename the file "Signal.mscr" to "Signal.txt" then open it by any notepad or word ,then check the line "if(%PhoneActive% = 65)" and change the 65 to be like the number that you found for your phone in the normal signal state. Do not forget to rename it back once finished to "Signal.mscr".
Thanks
Thanks going to test on my lovly hima.
Thank You for Your reply!
I think, there could be a problem:
The reg key, You mentoned, does have different values.
If I am connected to a "GPRS" network, it is "1".
If I am connected to an "EDGE" network, it is "8".
And if only phone is active, but no internet-connection, it is "1".
So what should I take?
Thank You!
EDIT: There is another key called "Radio ready state" with the value "31".
And all value are "0" when radio is off.

The reply is that you take the number between brackets on the idle state without conecting to any network ,because the idea as you can see from the code that there is 2 conditions must be fullfilled to fire the signal alarm which is 1- if the signal in the idle state be so and so and 2- in the same time signal drops to so and so ... Bingo ... fire
So ,now you got the idea of the code & can now modify it to fullfils your needs ,and you are ready to put your constants that reflects the state where you want spclock to fire. wishing this could help .....

Dynomite232 ,Kindly feedback whether the mortscript program didnt run on diamond or the TamerSpClock itself. i didnt expect this to happen from the Diamond of a VGA screen since my software didnt realy have a User Interface Menu ,its only shortcuts. In addition that Mort do support any windows mobile device.
Thanks again helping me, I think, I start to understand what Your mortscripts are able to do!
But I have to ask once more:
So I have three different scenarios, when I would get that signal-alert:
1 If Cellular Systam Available is "8" AND signal drops to less than 40%
and
2 If Cellular System Available is "1" AND signal drops to less than 40%
and
3 If Cellular System Available is "0" WITHOUT checking the signal strength
So would it be possible to edit the Mortscript this way?
Thank You!!

Hi,
first, thank You again, its working now as expected, great!!
The new Version 1.3: Both cabs get installed to the main memory, maybe something went wrong with one of them?
And one more question:
When my phone is sleeping, I dont get those signal-alerts.
So You have Your blackme-feature:
How could I handle that, to get the hardware-buttons locked, when blackme is active? I have a HTC Touch.
Thank You!

kino-kino ,Welcome again & thank you for your feedback. The Cab file targeting the storage card have been updated in the main thread page.
you are asking now about 2 subjects ,the first one concerning the signal alert didnt fire during deep sleep of the phone ,i think you might try to make the speaking clock feature active along with the signal alert feature ,maybe it will wakeup your device to fire at the specified times, of course if its voice is annoying to you can try deleting the clock wav files but leave of course the signal.wav without deleting. I wonder this happens to you although my Htc Tytn wakeup and fire Signal Alerts at specified times.
The second question can be solved simply by downloading "HomeScreenPluPlus" from the following link:
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm#Download
This software is free and have a feature in the second UI page of options that lock your device when the screen is off and vice versa ,see this pic for explanation.
Thanks for your great app, but I have troubles with BlackMe feature. If this feature is disable, my phone doesn't speak, vibrate only. But if it's enable, it turn off the phone screen when speaking time. That's annoy when I'm doing something on my phone, especially while downloading a large file, it interrupts the wifi connection and I have to re-download from beginning. Any solution for that?

yes i know hung_ng ,i made the blackme feature as a separate item in folder links so that you can assign its icon to a hardware button to be easily accessed so that when you are using your phone you can easily deactivate BlackMe.
This annoying feature (from my point of view as you eaxactly) is essential in many phones ,as the system cannot wakeup the device from a deep sleep to do the choosed actions. the blackme feature (also known as "ToggleDisplay=1") force the phone to wakeup to fire the action. if it is disabled many devices will fall in deepsleep without being able to wakeup. the last version 1.3 have this separate shortcut that i explained.
Another idea i made in my Tytn and made me feel comfortable is that i made my telephone sense when a specific window is open ,the blackme is disabled automatically and when i close this window it reverts automatically to be enabled. for example i made RescoExplorer2007 window when it is opened the blackme is disabled & serving me while i work ,and once i finish i close Resco and automatically blackme returns active and conserving my battery life.
Sorry for being long in my explanation but if you are interested in the idea ,i can make a version for you that is capable of deactivating BlackMe once a specific window is opened. i am not a programer ,i am an Architectural Engineer that once upon a time needed this software and didnt find a really satisfying one available all over the internet ,so i decided to learn Mort Script and i write a one satisfiying my needs and by the way i think that it might help other people who might need it as me.
Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

I appreciate that, Big Rhino... enjoy
shirreer,
Very Nice!
May I suggest if we could use a "Shake" motion to change the gesture profile?
What I want to do is...Slient mode when face down and shake for wake up.
Thanks!
Let´s give it a try.
And guys please don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!

Interesting suggestion, mate; however, the battery won't take it :s I thought of it several times over and eventually settled for the overall performance. Cheer up tho, 2 newsworthy items: WM7 will have the functionality natively + there is an app that does exactly this - its in the HD2 section if you're game enough to try it
Cheers & Enjoy

A pleasure, do tell if you like or hate it
Every time I soft reset (backup app does this every night) it "loads" (top bar) even when I'd unloaded it. Would be nice if it remembered the setting I've selected

Oh boy, you are lazier than even me, ain't that something?! Dude, delete the shortcut: \Windows\Startup\XSenseSvc
Cool little app - trying it out...

Thanks, had no idea that was there.
Seems a bit odd that I can start it manually and it doesn't say loaded in the top bar.
this app could be very useful to me...installing now, will report back soon
Nice little app..thx..

so we install this on our storage card??
Great work.
One thing I would like to remark:
The phone goes to vibration as I've set it when I turn it upside down.
However, when I turn it up again, it doesn't go back to normal unless I press one of the hard key buttons and "wake" it up.
Is this to save the battery life? If so I fully understand. I don't know if there is a solution where battery life is not affected and this can be solved.
