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.

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!

It works also with MS Smartphones (SPV, etc...)

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?
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.

Desperate for Louder Phone Volume!

Can someone please help me edit my registry to get louder phone volume...I have played with all of the values in audiogain and audiogain(x) and have successfully made me sound louder to other people, and made the speakerphone much louder, but I really need to get the earpiece volume louder. while driving, common road noise to loud enough to drown it out. Thanks...

Don't touch audiogain but HKEY current user/controlpanel/soundcategories/ring : put 5 in initvol and speaker.Repeat the same at HKEY current user/controlpanel/soundcategories/ringpreview.
You can change registry settings with MobileRegistryEditor.exe.

The initvol keeps reverting back to 3 on a soft reset the ring stuck though also in ringpreview there is no ring or initvol keys are we supposed to add these?
Thanks!

If u don't have these DWords you can add them. I did, it stays but no real improvement.
May I suggest using a more elaborate Registry Editor, such as Resco's. After changes, to keep them permanent, one must:
1. exit the reg edit program from the appropriate menu
2. shut off the PPC (to force writing the changes to flash)
4. re-open the PPC
5. immediately perform soft reset to restart with new changes
Anyway, as said, no big improvement is apparent. Must probably wait for a new ROM update.

I want also my volume a bit more then what i got now. So i looked it up in the registry but they where at 5 so now iam thinking can i set them to 6 or higher ????

Louder microphone
I have the opposite problem, in that the microphone gain on my Itech S38 is too low and people say I either sound really far away or they can't hear me at all. If anyone's messing around with the registry and find a registry value that ups the gain on the handsfree profile, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks!

PS: I saw all the ones under HKLM\software\HT\Audiogain, but there are a few of them and I'm not sure which ones would work.

Phone ring delay

Hey,
I would like to upgrade to the TyTN but I need to known if the is any issue with the phone like it was on the Universal.
When someone calls you does the TyTN ring straight aswait or does it start ringing after3 or 4 ring like it did on the universal.
Is the screen aligment on the TyTN been sorted out?
Is they any major problem with the device?
Well it run TomTom Navigator 6?
Cheers for any input.
Thanks

I have found that there is a ring delay of 1 ring on my Tytn (Vario II). I too had the Universal on trial with VodaUK and the delay was excessive.
The screen alignment issue is only a problem for me if the phone get excessively hot (such as the time I left it near my laptop fan) other than that is works reasonably well.
I have tried TT 5.10 and it ran well.

there is an option in Tweak2k2 program is "Disbles 3s delay in Ringtone", i didn't try it yet, please test
sorry about my english

i have the tweaks2k2 program installed and the 3s delay is ticked......but when someone calls me there is still a delay of one ring only and then the phone wakes up on the second ring........
and yes tom tom 6 will definitely work.....

[HKCU\Sounds\RingTone0]

Default settings = "apw3r"

Should be HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds\RingTone0
My default setting is actually "av0pw3r"??? I don't know what this means, so I've just left it alone!!!

I think the value varies depending on the settings you have for ring tone, I have "vibrate and then ring" and my default value was "v3w3apw3r". I've been plying with the values and ringing myself after each change, this is my conclusion:
The first '3' specifies the vibrating time before the phone rings, the second '3' specifies the delay after the phone stops vibrating and the ringtone starts playing and the third '3' specifies the delay between repeated ringtones. Correct me if I am wrong

errr.... forget my previous comment, I was wrong but Google told me the truth:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

So according to the data given,
The phone activates and rings. There is no delay between.
...yet there is a decent amount of delay before the device rings on this end.
I don't have tweaks2k2 but it seems it doesn't do any better anyway...

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
I want to get rid of the delay, but I'd like to be able to use PhoneAlarm and they probably aren't compatible.

This fixes this problem. The ring delay is a common problem regarding the power/wake up status of the phone. The fix corrects it.
Download tweaks2k2 from www.tweaks2k2.com, and you will have an evaluation copy which will work for three goes. I recommend you purchase if you're happy with it, it's a great tool, and so many uses! The writer should be rewarded.

where is this app on the url you have provided? I just get a load of ads...
thanks

The url is actually http://www.tweaks2k2.com
EDIT: I can also confirm that this does work.
Looks like it's just a simple reg hack

Every time I reset my device the script is back to apw3r for ringtone0.
anyone expierence the same?

Busy CallDrop etc. sounds

Hi there!
I searched how to fix these sounds in the registry but nothing seems to work.
Many registry keys seem to point to "dpadctl.mid" that produces nothing, so I tried to change to Busy.wav (which was present in \Windows\) and to create a Busy.wma file in \Windows\ but no sound is produced.
May anyone tell me what these sounds are supposed to be and how can I make them to work?
This is the list:
BusyTone
CallDrop
CallWaiting
DialingDialingVoIP
DialPadCtlKey
All of them point to dpadctl.mid with different string value... Any idea?

Get rid of it!
I removed the string value, so it didn't work.
As I figured out, in the key "BusyTone" the string must be "apr" because the "p" seems to mean "play" and the "r" "repeat". But... the "a"?!?
Also, it is a little buggy, the volume is very low and the sound starts with a little delay, a choke, and then plays "tuuu tuuu tuuu" as it's supposed to be...
Here again to ask... Help!

News:
I found in MSDN something about ring scripts:
"apw3r" Ring
"p" Ring once
"s2apw3c150r" Increasing ring
"av3w3r" Vibrate
"v3w3apw3r" Vibrate then ring
"a" Silent
But my busy tone, set as "apr" (I supposed that removing "w3" is like removing 3 sec. delay), doesn't work well. The sound is reproduced by the speakers on the side of my Uni, not from the right one!
Waiting for suggestions...
In edit:
Modifying the key "Ending" in \ControlPanel\Sounds\ with script "p" and setting the wav file you wish, you will change the sound of the red phone button...

What is the reg tweak to increase in call volume in earpiece?

I don't want to use any 3rd party tweaking app but what is the registry tweak to increase the volume in call. I think it is too quite and cannot hear the other person that much despite puttling volume to max on phone.
Thanks!

Think the volume is fine on my phone, but sometimes when ear isn't positioned correctly from the speaker the sound level does change quite a bit so maybe take note of that first.

Try this:
Regisrty: HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
Key: InitVol
Default: 2 change to 10

Thank you. I don't really notice a different. Are you sure this is the correct reg tweak please?
Thanks!

This works on my 6.1:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\AttenuationCategory set the value to 4
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\ InitVol set the value to 5
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\ Speaker set the value to 1

increase in-call volume. thank [email protected]
can anyone confirm if these settings work?
