Hi, wonder if anybody has a way to get rid of the keyboard clicking sound on the Universal?
It would be so far better when use in quiet meetings. I was looking at the sound setting but didn't find anything there. Want to check to see if there is any registry heck or other ways to fix this.
Thanks!
go to settings->sounds
disable there the checkbox for the hardware buttons
This is strange as the hardware botton box was never ticked in the first place... I tried tick and untick and softreset it but it does not seem to work. The keyboard clicking sound still there...
Any further advice please?
The keys have a mechanical click sound built in - very difficult to get rid of.
On a similar subject - anyone know how to turn off the clicks that happen when you use the start menu?
sounds and notifications - uncheck 'Events (warnings, system events) I'm not sure what all else you lose, but it turns off what you wanted.
Thank you.
It would be so nice to have a seperate volume level for sms and system sounds.
It really is bad to have them put into one volume setting.
Developers... any ideas? Calling Vijay/Buzz... and other smart PPC devs?
the clicks are mechanical , you can't get rid of them,
a trade off between membrane and swith activated keyboards,
although more noisy, the switch activated responseivness is better

Thanks all for your responses. Looks like I'll need to explore other input methods during quiet meetings...
I wrote a small piece of code to switch between vibrate and sound on. I've created the cab installer. Just follow the instruction below to install it.
1. Just install the cab.
2. Map Button 5 (Press & Hold) to 'Vibra (Switch)'.
Whala... you just got a vibrate switch just like an HTC Wizard!
To start the program in delayed mode you need to apply the /d switch. However, I've created a shortcut for the delayed mode as Vibra (Switch) Delayed. Because of this, you're forced to install the program in the main memory as I don't know how to create a shortcut with parameters in the Cab installer. Anybody care to teach me how?
UPDATES
v1.32 : added switch '/d' to delay 1.0 second start up
v1.31 : Fix bug where flight mode toggle was toggled even when button has been release on silent mode. Also optimized button handling to detect button release during buzzing and in between.
v1.3 : Hold the button even longer (approx another 2 second), will toggle flight mode (while retaining current normal/vibrate/silent settings).
v1.2 : Hold the button longer (approx 1 second), will set the phone to silent mode. (This only works with App button 1-6)
v1.1 : Now run with '/q' parameter to switch mode without vibrating the phone.
EDIT:
There's no more update or any changes will be made to this program as I've lost the source code.
Works great!
Thank you!
Thanks, it works perfect here too. I added it to the wiki FAQs.

Alternatively you can use AEButton Plus and map your wheel button (#0086) long press to the shortcut you just made. To map this you probably need to focus on say Shift Key first by clicking on it once. Else your wheel button will press the cancel button when trying to map the key.
one problem though, if you map to #0086, the button still clicks when you hold the button down.
So, you might want to map it to stick to the Button 5 instead.

I made the vibrate to sound on a 200 ms vibrate though. Slightly different from HTC Wizard.

Great Woooork!
Now i also hacked "Profiles Swtich Application" from IDO and Eten,
If you interested in them,,,you can try.
I tested on my Himalaya WM5 and Vario II and work well.
<Auto answer function of IDO Profiles was missing> :lol:
How about thoes???
Interesting (and good!) work guys, will try both sometime in the very near future
Can anyone do this?
don't you think it would be awesome if there was a way you could push a button on the today screen that scrolled through these four settings,
Silent
Silent & Vibrate
Ring
Ring & Vibrate
And it showwed you on the today screen what setting your on. I don't mean just the ringtone though, I mean all notifications. So when your out you can have it on vibrate cos its in your pocket but when ur at home it don't wobble across the table and disturb everyone without u having to change the settings for each individual alert.
I've tried the ScenariosE program and the Profiles program and they are both half way there. I notice on both of em there is a show icon option? But where does it show the Icon as to what profile u are on. and why does it only change ur ringing tone, not your messages and notifications?
I feel that if we could get this perfect we could really be onto something. I know a fair few people with WM devices that could really benefit from it.
Is there anything that does this or does anyone know enough about the hardware to make something that does this?
EDIT
just noticed whereas profiles doesn't seem to work at all on my Vario II, have found that ScenriosE does only affect the vibrate settings for the atual ringtones and if you adjust volumes using ScenariosE it only affects the notifications volume. The slider for the ringtones does nothing??? Very strange
ipaq hwl69xx and 65xx has today plugin and what u want.
i am on the way to hack!
Just installed the vibra switch cab and assigned to button 3 (the comms. manager, at least on the Vario 2) - works beautifully. Love the much shorter vibrate when it goes off vibra to signify it's back on ringtones again... Nice touch.
The Comms Manager button seemed like the natural choice to me, as it has a little icon of a circle with waves coming out of it, so it fit the bill quite nicely. Anyways, my Comm. Manager is bound to my right softkey, so the button was redundant anyway

FaNtAsTiC Mr Q!
@Scenarios>>
I fixed small Icon on the Task Tray.
See capture and reinstall new fiexed CAB.
@hw69xx>>
Sorry it seems not havaing Notifications,
Now i got hack it almost,,,including Tday Plugin.
But iPAQUti.dll which need to read device APIs are not mathc to
the Hermes.
Also tried HTCUTli.dll renamed to iPaqUtil.dll but not worked.
we must modify iPAQUtil.dll to match the Hermes, But no way now.
So i must give up....

Is there no way we can get round this? I'm dying to be able to turn off and on the vibrate function on my alerts? There must be someone out there that has seen something about this?
Or how about just a file that switches off power to the vibrator? Something that simple would be awesome, the phone doesn't know not to vibrate, it still trys but theres no power to the vibrator, n u can switch it on and off. Far short of modding the hardware and adding an extra switch somewhere (seems a bit ott) is there a way we can do it!

Good program!
It is possible to obtain the icon of the program of red or black color?
The color gray is little visible.
Thanks
I am looking for a very small program that does one simple thing. Change my ringer profile from ring to vibrate when my appointment status is busy. Then when I don't have an appointment turn back to ringer! I don't want to have a today screen plugin, I just want it to run in the background. I don't need a whole lot of options. Actually none at all just the ability to while in a meeting to automatically switch the profile to vibrate like you would by clicking on the sound icon on the taskbar and switch it to vibrate, and then back again when the meeting is over. Anyone have an ideas, or could tell me how to go about creating such a program!
I have looked at numerous other program that just have to many options. The only option i need is stated above. Thanks
Not exactly what you are looking for, but this program is great. It even has a scheduler for each profile.
http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm.aspx
yeah already looked at that just has to many features! All i need is switch from ring to vibrate mode when appointment is sheduled! Thanks for the reply though!
Try phoneAlarm (not freeware), it does the job.
to many options in that as well. I don't want a today item to have to be running to use the program either. I tried to use that and I really didn't like how it worked. seemed to really slow my system down and took up space on my today screen!
When switching the phone from ring to vibrate using the manual switch on top of the phone, isn't there supposed to be a short vibration as feedback to let you know the phone is silenced? When I switch from ring to vibrate, I get no vibration feedback, but everything else works correctly (meaning that the ringer and sounds really are silenced and switched to vibrate-only mode).
None of the Treos I've had in the past have had this problem of the "vanishing feedback" when switching to vibrate.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or a registry hack to re-enable this feature?
It is very convenient to be able to reach in my pocket and switch the phone to vibrate and to receive a short vibration to let me know I got the switch in the right position. Thanks in advance for your help!
You should try getting into Start menu >Settings>Sounds & notifications, and then notifications !
There should be a check box where you select to enable or disable the feature
Fyi
I have a similar issue...
I'm using 6.5 23549 RealVGA Updated from imzkng in ppcGeeks with the 'no windows/ok/X button' tweak and sometimes in start menu when a push 'lock' (or anything in the bottom bar) the Treo give-me a vibrate-feedback, ok I like it! but 95% of the time it just does nothing...
I bought a LG Cookie for my girlfriend and I LOVED the feedback and would like to put in my Treo... does anyone know how?
well, I found a program that rumble the way I want...
TouchResponse
U can config it to rumble when U touch and when your finger leave the screen... and other things...
well, i have the same problem with my custom wm 6.5 rom... as for the screen, touch response is a great addition (then i know when stuff freezes too )
Absolutely love this phone, however just a few nitpicky things I have questions about since coming from my Note 5.
1) Note 5 had a clear cached data option or clear app cache... is there a way to do that on here?
2) Is there a way to set the volume down button to go to mute, the lowest option it seems to go to is vibrate?
3) Volume overall is pretty loud even on the lowest setting, for example, with the alarm even at the lowest volume setting is still is extremely loud. Is there a way to get the volume even lower in general, maybe an app or some sort of extra config?
4) In the phone contacts, I used to be able to set it so that only certain groups from my Google contacts shows. Now its only able to show all my Google contacts and not specific groups.
5) Super nitpicky but you can no longer set the AOD clock to be two different colors? Like blue for the hour and white for the minutes.
6) This one is just kind of a minor wishlist item I guess, but would be great if there was a way for the AOD to just auto rotate instead of having to pick portrait or landscape every time.
Ok that is all, if anyone has any insight into those things that would be great! Holy hell though....almost 2 days of battery life!!
