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

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 found this on the hermes forum. I have a few questions related to the registry entry to be made to change the vibration sequence.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-278171.html
Now it was mentioned that the script for vibrate and ring is by default
in the entry HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds\RingTone0
script = av0pw3r
i tried changing it to av1w1v1w1pw0r
Now what happens is, the ring starts without any delay, but then the vibration sequence starts, finishes then the ringtone starts... How do i change the script such that both the vibration sequence and the ringtone happen at the same time?
search for vibro tweak in the forum possibly it'll help you
Install HDtweak 0.5.4
Launch it. Go to Phone -> ringtype and set it to "vibration and ring"
I use french HDtweak so I don't know the right english name...
I checked the registry tweak that this program makes too.
it is v1w1v1w1v1w1pw0r
This is, it will vibrate thrice, then play the music... doesn't serve my purpose, sorry.
Is there an application or way to change the behavior of the HTC volume control? I like to listen to soft music, but with the volumebuttons on phone or headseat you can only change volume in steps of 3 stripes.
I always need to adjust it to the last 1 or 2 stripes manually through the touchscreen.
FOund a way to lower volume of the musicplayer overall which kind of has an effect, but the lowest volumes are hardly touched.
Have been searching for a solution but cant find any. Preferrably I would like to use a regfix in stead of extra software.
There is a registry edit you can do that will increase ringer volume. If you want to try that here are the instructions, follow them exactly, (at your own accord). If you do it exactly, you wont have any problems.
First off get a registry editor http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Install that on your phone, put the cab file onto your phone by connecting to your pc or mac, drag the cab onto your internal storage, open it, and install regeditor onto Internal storage.
Next, open PHM reg edit.
Follow these intructions: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring (press the + sign to open each folder, and press on the word Ring to open it's contents)
in there you will see in the bottom half of the screen, something that reads InitVol, press that, and a new screen will pop up. Under Volume data it will read the number "3", change that (by using the up/down arrows), to something such as 7 or something and press OK, exit out, then restart your phone. Your ringer volume will be higher.

I think he is asking if there is a way to change the volume "steps" meaning, when you press volume up, it goes up quite a bit. He wants it to increase less.
Yeah there is.
Use the stylus to change the volume instead of the hard keys on the side of the device. A precise finger tap also works in place of the stylus.

Even you change the volume by just one bar in the backend it is still only 5 steps total. Windows Mobile doesn't offer smaller steps. HTC Volume just fakes it by using more steps but at the end it rounds it to the next matching volume out of the 5 possible.
Hello,
I have this weird problem on my phone... every time when I dial a number I get a sound from my device (HD2) ... it only stops when it`s put in Silent or Vibrate Profile.
The tone is not when I press the keys for dialing the number, it comes when after I have dialed the number with the keypad, I press the Talk Button.
The key tones are put to OFF mode, but that doesn`t help ...
Any suggestions ?
Yeah i have the same trouble, i dont like the dial tones, there ws an answer here on the forum somewhere, but it did not work for me, anybody have a clue?
Found the solution to my problem ....
Use a program like Total Commander to access the phone registry and go to :
[\Windows\HTCTone] . Then delete the .wav file witch is in that folder.
Hope that fix your problem, it did fix mine !
And how can you set the key tone to off?
Start
- Settings
-- Menu (at bottom right)
--- All Settings
---- Personal
----- Phone
------ Keypad, select Off
Press tick on top right.
Pefect thanks, why dont they just put all the sound options in one menu damnit, what a bizzare OS
there is a lot of debate going on about the volume during, especially outgoing, calls. There have been a few hints with respect to either changing the InCall regkeys or diminishing the music player volume in audio manager with Adv Config. For some this helps for others it doesn't. After searching the registry for a while, I found two reg keys of which I'm wondering whether they might have anything to do with the volume problem and I want to know how these settings are on your devices:
1. HKCU/ControlPanel/PhoneVolume/DownLinkPhoneVolume=102 (default)
2. HKCU/ControlPanel/PhoneVolume/MappedDownVolume=100 (default)
Does anyone out there know whether changing these keys might solve the volume problem?
Mine are both set at zero by default! I have the volume problem so no, these keys are not the culprit.
