I use my phone as an alarm to wake up in the morning, but I can't figure out how to change the sound to something else. "alarm" wasn't anywhere in the Sounds > Notifications menu, and "reminders" isn't the same thing. Anyone know?
1. tap the clock in manila home tab then move to the alarm tab, this is the place where you can change settings for alarm. (or you can directly tab the alarm button placed beneath the clock)
or
2. tap start menu > all setting > clock & alarm > alarms > tap the bell icon
Thank you, you're a genius!

Anybody knows how to get rid/change the sound events associated with tapping the Start Menu and any of the items in its pulldown menu? These sounds cannot be disabled in the Screen taps control of Sounds & Notification. Thanks.
you can normally get rid of the sounds by unchecking the box for "Events (warnings, system events)...which can be found in the sounds and notification screen....
cheers
Didn't know that! Thanks.
change today menu sounds?
can you change the today menu sounds ? i.e. when the menu drops down, closes.
or are you ulimited to changing sounds only for the predefined events such as email/sms incoming...activesync etc?
I've tried before, and you can't get rid of the initial start menu sound, but if you go into the windows dir and locate all the .wav files, you can change the rest of them.
Though you'll find the sound for the first start menu sound amongst those and overwrite it, it won't work.

...so simple the answers remain elusive.
How do you stop a tone being played when you press the start button or select certain items? I've searched in sounds and notifications but I can't see anything there, I have standard taps disabled.
Secondly, how do I get the phone to vibrate for an incoming call - I want it to ring as well as today I was almost caught out because I didn't hear the phone ringing. There is a vibrate option in sounds and notifications but I'm not sure exactly what this one is for.
Thanks,
John
First answer:
Go to Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications
then uncheck Screen Taps. Or You have third party
program like WisBar?
answer second:
Push "Green Phone button" -> Menu -> Options...
and choose Vibrate and Ring in the Ring type window.
Screen taps are already unchecked, I don't have any third party programs at all installed. It's only certain events that trigger the noise, such as tapping the start button and then choosing settings but then tapping the tabs in that folder say, will not generate any noise.
Thanks for the vibrate answer, that's it sorted.

You should be able to silence the Start Menu and its items' one by disabling...
Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications* > [ ] Events (warnings, system events)
If that doesn't work, try a search on this forum for "start menu sound" (no quotes), and you'll find lots of older threads on how to replace the sound with your own sound ( which, if you use a completely silent wav, is 'no' sound %) )
That did the trick, thanks muchly!

Choice for Screen tap sound is either 1) no sound 2) soft or 3)loud. Soft or loud is just a "tkkkk" sound. Does anyone know how to change to a more ear friendly sound ?
I guess these would be hardcoded into the rom and the phone won't allow you to change them. Look under the windows directory for all .wav files. With some luck, you might be able to find it.
screen tab sounds are pretty annoying, as everyone around you will hear that you are working on your phone... i turned every sound off.
Press the Call Button -> Number Page Come out -> Menu -> Options - > Phone Tab Page -> Keypad changed to OFF
there u goes.. no sound for tabbing of buttons..
Rather than the little speaker at the top, is there a plugin for the today screen to just tap "ringer on / vibrate / ringer off" ?
I know there is one in the HTC Home plugin, but that takes up a large amount of space on the today screen, and would rather not have that showing.
Thanks for the help.
If you goto Settings > System > End Key, you can set it to Vibrate/Ringer On. It's a handy feature, don't know if it'll be exactly what you want though.
does someone knows how to turn off vibrations while typing a message?
you'll need to go into the settings of the particular keyboard you're using. If you're using swype, then go to Settings > Language and keyboard > Vibrate on keypress. Check that off and you're good.
you can also uncheck the section under Settings > Sound > Vibrate feedback.
