How to get rid of the "beep" sound of the G (GPRS)

Hi all,
Is there any way (maybe a registry value modification) to get rid of the "beep" sound which takes place when the unit finds a GPRS connection?

One of the reg. strings under the HKCU\Control Panel\Notification, called "Default". This effects your signal found beep and GPRS beep. Although you can change this sound, you can even delete it by blanking the string feild!! 8)

I blanked this field.
The GPRS found sound did disappear but now every time GPRS is found, it vibrates for a couple of seconds. How can I stop that.

Re: How to get rid of the "beep" sound of the G (G
Ok... under the same string I mentioned earlier. Creat new key "New String Value" and give it a name "Default" and a value of any name, I have mine "System Notification".
As you close your Reg.Edit, go to the Sound panel and you shall find the same there. Do whatever you please there as a light flash, vibrate or any combination...
Happy to help..

It worked fine, thank you!

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??

start>settings>sound&notifications>notifications tab then untick the "play sound" box

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.

Turning off number-key sounds

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

[Q] Where do I find these (registry?) settings!?

I'd like to back them up into my settings cab file for when I flash my phone again. Where can I find these settings:
- Screen backlight brightness
- Ringtone settings (ring type, what sound file etc.)
- T9 settings (auto complete words etc.)
Thanks!

Hey dude, I think this is the backlight setting:
HKLM\System\GDI\Drivers\BacklightDefault

Angelusz said:
- Ringtone settings (ring type, what sound file etc.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Script
a - show notification
f - backlight on: f1, f0 = off.
p - time to start.
c - loudness: C50, c100, c150, c200.
v - vibration. vX, X = vibration time X=0 - vibrate till end of script
w - pause/wait. wX = X seconds.
r - repeat.

Thanks, I'll try those!
I'm not sure about the backlight one, can't seem to change the settings by changing it.
The ringtone key at RingTone0 looks like the right thing, what's the first key for though? (HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring)
And then there's always the t9 settings.

sry, what do you mean?
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring -> Directory (here the ringtones dir, for example \sdcard\)
then copy the ringtones to "Rings" on the card, then write all file-names in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtones ->you can choose them in settings (you should... did not try that)
could be not very important if you let your ringtones in \windows...

Ah alright, thanks. About the script for the ringtone, I recognize the script I set in settings and tried to modify it through the registry. It wouldn't accept those changes though. Is there a way to make a script that's not one of the basic scripts (as can be set through the settings menu)?

interesting, it works actually... as far as i know its the only way to write own scripts. There is also a prog to edit the vibration settings - VAlert.

How strange. I'll test with it a bit, see if I can get it to work.
Anyone know where the T9 settings are stored?
And how the backlight settings work?

Stop lefthanders turning off the phone ringer

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,
Hans
