If you do a hard reset the back-button, or hang-up button, as well the dial-pad, make tones. If you deactivate them by using the windows mobile sound settings, you will deactivate all system sounds.
But by editing the registry you can deactivate this specific sounds pretty easy.
Go to
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress
and change the REG_DWORD BeepMode from "2" to "0".
I tried it with the CeRegEditor http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ and it worked fine!

I'd like very much to add a vibration to
the phone pad number of my Wizard.
I've tried the registry keys for winmobile 2003 but they don't work.
I've also tried Ezdial but nothing...
Does anyone know the windows mobile 2005 registry keys?
Thanks
hmm, my registry edits from my magician worked on my wizard! I'll attach a rar archive with two cabs inside. try vibrate cab file, it makes the changes for you. If you want the tones back, install the other one and the registry will be set back to your current values. remeber: After you make a reg edit, don't softreset or the changes will be lost. Better is to manually exit the regeditor by e.g. file-exit and not with the x in the upper corner. then soft reset or switch off and on by holding the power button 5 secs. Soft resetting directly after a regedit results in the edits not being saved in the ROM, hence no effect is seen.
wow! it works!
thanks very much.
bye
Thanks ! this registry edits work on my magician but I dont't that it was working on Wizard... Great !
Works great, thanks mate!
Is it possible to modify the cab-file so that you still get the vibrating number pad, but not the annoying beep when you press the red phone button?
up
Does anybody know why this happens:
Whenever I change registry (for example HKCU\Control Panel\SIP\..), after reboot it gets reverted to original value.
I used Total Commnader. Roms I tried: 2.17 (qtek) and 2.24 (cingular).
Help appreciated.
Thanks.
after changing your registry, be sure to save the changes by a soft reset. To do this, do NOT poke the reset hole with your stylus, but rather shut the device down with the on/off button. Hold it for 5 secs untill the warning pops up. By resetting this way, your device uses the 5 secs untill the screen pops-up to write the registry to the ROM. If you soft reset immediately with your stylus after chaning the registry, the device has not enough time to write the changes to the ROM. Therefore, after a quick soft reset with your stylus changes might not be saved and the registry remains unchanged.
Problems with Registry settings
I also have problems with Registry settings. For instance some values seems to change back after a turn off/on (power button). Does anyone have a good doc/link that explains which Registry settings that actually can be changed by CAB-files and stay changed ?
Just to mention - on an SP5 (sorry for this in Wizard/K-JAM) I had a CAB-file that changed the Contacts soft-button into starting a 3rd party application. This only changed when an incomming call/phone application was started..a little confused about that
I changed the registry so the left soft key would open messaging.exe
How would I go about making it automatically open Text/Multimedia?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is definately doable throught the registry, but i have found that if you use the soft key changer you can change them whenever you want without haveing to do a registry edit. Do a search for soft key changer and install it on the phone. Afterward do a soft reset and go to your settings and it will be in there. Its super simple and very convenient.
I looked all over my Pro and the manual, but cannot find a way to turn of the sound of the number keys. Every time I start typing a phone number the sounds ring out and I want to turn them off. Can someone help me?
Ok, sorted it out with help from Treo Central. For those who want to silence the sounds as well:
I renamed the registry keys HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf1 trhough Dtmf# to get rid of those annoying LOUD sounds.
To set the keypad to vibrate: Rename Sound to Sound1 and add a new String value with "*vibrate*".
thanks to frause from TreoCentral.
Turning key sounds
To turn Off your DTMF on your Treo PRO
I edit the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress
Find Script Beep mode, change 2 to 0.
Soft reset.
It works for me.
hello i am a little new to all of this. i was wondering if you could tell me which program you use to edit the registry and give me some pointers on how to complete the modification you mentioned above. the key beep annoys me way to much. thanks for your help in advance.
Use a program like total commander or PHM Registry Editor.
Go to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress]
And change BeepMode to:
"BeepMode"=dword:00000000
Probably a silly question...but if I turn off the key sounds or turn them to vibrate - will it still send the tones when I press the button?
Yes it will! No problem what so ever
I am left handed and I keep accidentaly turning of the telephone's ringer volume control, and thus missing incoming calls. As I earn my living by answering my telephone I needed to find a simple way to stop this happening.
Here is how:
load a registry editor like PHM Registry Editor from: http://www.phm.lu/Products/Smartphone/RegEdit/
Then go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\VolumeOverlay
Click on "DefaultPage" and change the value from 1 to 0 (zero)
click on OK and close the registry editor and do a soft reset.
Now if you press on the volume control by accident or on purpose the System Volume appears first, so the worst thing you can do by accident is turn off the system sounds. The phone sound is now the second option and is more difficult to turn off accidentaly.
Hope that helps someone.
Sam
Thanks.
As lefthanded user it overcomed me often.
Works fine,
