A few real simple qiestions... - HD2 General

I just got my hands on a HD2 and I think it's great, but it will be even greater if someone could enlighten me on the following
1) How do I change/edit the quick links in the home/today page? (i looked everywhere from settings in the phone section to the settings in the windows mobile section but i can't find anything.)
2) How do i change my message tone to something not in-bulid in the phone? (meaning my trimmed mp3s)
thanks a million

1) answer to nbr 1...it is right on the bottom of the home page where it says menu...
2) all you have to do is copy the mp3 song to the windows directory in your device

1) I just realise i had asked a stupid qn. lol
2) the file is already in my windows directory. I press and hold it but there is only an option to set the file as ringtone but not notificiation (message) tone

you need to go to settings and sound notifications...and set it from there, play around with it

Go to:
Start/settings/Sound & Display/scroll down to Notification Sounds/New Message....and then if your tone is in the windows directory, it should be selectable from the list.

Is there a way to change the keyboard sound to something less annoying??

The title says everything!! i was thinking the scratch sound the old moto V80 made, or maybe something else. If anyone knows how to change it please let me know!!
Thanks
I just turn the sound off, but I do remember reading somewhere about adding new sounds. I'll look around.
re
currently i have it off too but i would like to customize it!! anyone else have any thoughts??
My Herald came with a HTC app. preinstalled that enabled me to turn it off or specify another sound. It's in the registry somewhere if the app isn't installed btw.
Where can I put new sounds for the keyboard? I can only choose betwen 3 sounds. (I have the application installed)

think u have to put em in the windows folder, and they have to be *.wav
havnt tested myself but should work
Look for a key in the registry called "SlidingSound". It has 3 keys, "0", "1", and "2", each corresponding to the 3 sound options. Copy the .wav files you want into the windows directory. Choose any one of the 3 keys and change the "in" and "out" string values to the sounds you want. I tried this and it worked. I think I'll make my slide out sound like a cash register until it becomes more annoying than humorous.

where are you finding that in the registry? I found the slidingsound in the registry...but nothing where it shows the other tones or me having the ability to add mine...I'm using total commander
never mind...found the registry...but new problem is total commander won't let me copy and past the wav files that I want to use into the windows directory. it won't allow me to replace the other slider sounds also...what am I doing wrong?

Can I change the clock alarm file/sound

anyone know if this is possible in the 8525 with wm5 on it.I have the new rom update to 2.15.502.3, but i still dont see the option am i missing it? I am not sure which file its using and I am growing tired of the ding-dong. thanks in advance guys
Tiffany
At the screen where you set the alarm, poke the 'bell' icon on the right, it will give you a few more options, which you can get to choose your tone.
thanks i never found the drop down menu..I looked all over..!
now is it possible to add additional sounds if needed/wanted. theres only a few alarm choices and they're all not very loud to wake up to. a song would be nice maybe. any suggestions?
im curious too. can't seem to find out how to change them on my htc touch.
but of course you can add additional files, just choose the file you want and save it inside the "windows" folder, use file explorer or total commander, then check the file in the program/settings/clock & alarms settings, click the "bell" icon enjoy

Diamond Ringtones & Notification

Found the Sounds from Diamond on this thread. Post nr 4!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395400
Nice, thanks!
Sweet! I was looking for a simple download of sounds only. Thanks for the heads up!
Where should I put the audio files? In \Windows or \Windows\Rings directory? I noticed that all files in \Windows\Rings are duplicated in \Windows. Can I delete them in one of 2 locations to save space?
place the files where you like to.
ring-files in windows\rings can be deleted.
ringfiles in windows\ must be replaced with zero bit files to "delete" them.
But if I delete the files from both locations then I will not be able to use them. What I'm asking is in which folder I should put the files so that I can select them as ringtones
I put the tones i want as ringtone in My Device->Windows->Rings

Yes, I know... But even if the volume control is set to zero or 1 (or 2,3...), volume of Diamond's Ringtone is/will be the same (very high).
Probably is the .wma format???
Hmm.. yes you are right about that! Have someone a solution for that?? why its behave like this
wrong post
ths share
I don't know what i can do...
Ringtones go automatically to \My Documents\Rings folder
Something in the registry?
Sorry, i have this problem: i can't adjust ringtone's volume of an incoming call.
Volume of other notifying sounds (sms, appointments etc.) and music work properly.
Even if i set 0,1,2... or max volume level, it's the same (very high).
I've installed 2 third party softwares: pTravelAlarm and mccMobilFinder (that increase the volume even if it is set to zero); i've uninstalled them, but the situation is the same.
Probably some issue in the registry? Wich are the registry keys involved?
Can you help me please?
Thank you!
I noticed the same problem with volume, cant say why it is so. Its very stange..

Make two new blank wav files on your desktop/laptop, named MenuPop.wav and hwandsw.wav, and copy them to a STORAGE CARD on your phone. Then move them to the Windows Directory (say, "Yes" to any prompts for overwriting existing files), soft reset the phone, and Bob's your uncle.
go to start>settings>sounds and notifications and tap screen taps and hardwar buttons, this will remove the click sound for both screen taps and button taps

does anyone know how to change the typing sound of htc keyboard in manila 2.1.... i like the quiet click sound of fingerkeyoard. i want tht... n htc default sound is very loud n irritating..... any help will be appreciated. thanks
open any app where Keyboard is required (exmple: new text message/sms)

you can also access these settings from settings -> Personal -> input -> 'choose ur input method from drop down' and then tap on 'options' button below it
I hope it helped.
