Is there any way to listen to music while the phone is on vibrate?
I found it highly frustrating that there is no system sound if you choose to put your phone on vibrate. Can this be changed?

You can use an external player that runs a separate volume function, like core player.
Neither Core Player, nor Pocket Player make it work.
When on vibrate there is no sound.
Any other tweaks/ideas/programs?

Yeah, you're right. You can turn the sound off and still hear music but not on Vib.
Yeap. And it is very bad.
Because I want to listen to music with my headphones without disturbing those around me and "vibrate" is important for getting calls, sms etc.
It seems to me very strange that there is no answer for this. I would think that others would have encountered the same problem also.
Aren't there any customizable profiles in Topaz like in other HTC phones?

On that note, I listen to music at work through my headphones and can still hear alerts come in.
hi, i think i found a solution, but for this to work you'll have to enable the HTC Sense interface (or touch flo 3D). I dont know why but i just couldnt find it on the standard windows mobile theme. So here it is. With HTC Sense enabled (or touch flo3D), slide to the Settings tab and then touch Sound. In sound, turn off the Single Volume option and there you go Now you'll have seperate system and ring volume

There is a way, but first you must do as in previous post and disable single volume then install Microsoft Voice Command. MSVC creates a secondary ring profile which can be edited in the registry.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\
Edit the string "Script" from "as5p" to "v0p" (v-zero-p) this will set the phone to always vibrate even if you remove vibration from your ring profile. This way, even if you set you phone ring volume to minimum (not silent or vibrate) you will hear system sounds and vibrate when receiving calls. More info on MSVC can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619358

Search google for a mp3-wav converter, cant remember which one i use but will update post when i get home and check.
Remember also a mp3 song converted to wav form will be a very BIG file, better to sample just a small ( very small ) section of the track and then use this for sms notifications.
There is a program called phonealarm that you can use, you can choose any sound you like for SMS.
First post....hello everybody.

I use Audacity (free) to edit MP3 first by selecting the part of the song or clip I want to use as a alert. Then you can remove one channel (right or left) which cuts down the size quite a bit. As far as I know all PPC speakers are MONO so there is no need for a stereo ring-tone or SMS alert. You can also change the bit rate but don't go to low or your sound will be distorted. Audacity also allows you to adjust the volume of the output alert so you can have a nice loud sound and attract allot of attention when you pull your phone out. LOL.
Also Remember that a SMS alert is (I think) shorter than a ring tone alert. (ring tone alert is between 30 and 35 seconds) I wont get my 8525 till Monday but I have a E-TEN M600 and I believe the length of the SMS is the same as the 8525/Tytn.
One thing to note: you can mute a ring-tone when someone calls but I have not found a way to mute or stop a SMS alert when it comes in.
After you have the perfect RT/SMS alert as a MP3 find a free app out there that will convert it to a .wav. I use a app that came with Nero.
You can also try Ringo. This is a app that will allow you to assign a different sound to any incoming sms message.
ie. I get a traffic update via SMS everyday before I go to work and I assigned the sound of tires screeching and horns blowing impatiently as my SMS traffic alert.
For some reason despite my best efforts to change the audio (like for example when I get a new e-mail it plays a sound. I change the e-mail sound notification under sounds and notifications, but no matter what I choose it plays the same sound…)
It does this for every sound but my ringtones. (which I have ringo installed for so it somehow supersedes this problem.)
So I am wondering is there is a way to master set the sound so that the sound I choose is the one that plays. Sounds and notifications won’t do this for me.
Searched long and hard, but with any luck I just could not find the answer.
Any help or direction would be appreciated!
Q
is the a way to make the vibration vibrate to the beat of the mp3 or mid like on nokias
Kinky!!!!!!!!!!
anyone get a method
unaware....
I've never seen such a program, but I imagine it would be quite CPU intensive if it existed...
You'd need real time music analysis software constantly running to be able to do it accurately.

No mate, he is not lookin' for any music player kindda application. He wants his phone to vibrate according to the ringtone, as it happens with the .mid ringtones in Nokia. I really doubt such possibility in Windows Mobile, b'cuz we hardly use .mid ringtones in these phones.
Adieu..

I'm aware. He wants software that will vibrate to the beat of music played through the device when it's ringing. There would have to be some form of music analysis software present to analyze the music being played in order for the device to understand when and when not to vibrate.
The only easier solution would be software that simply vibrates whenever the phone rings by playing the sounds that the device "hears" through it's own microphone. Of course that wouldn't work very well at all, as it would end up including any other noise being made that the device hears at the time while the software is running.
The Nokias either have some sort of music analysis software running in the background (which I doubt, because I had an old Nokia that did this and I promise you it wasn't powerful enough to run such software) or the vibrations are hard-coded into the songs for which that particular feature works.
I'd be willing to bet the Nokias won't vibrate to the tone of the music being played unless it's music that came with the phone or unless it's music you got directly from them or an authorized provider. Otherwise you'd have to find software to code vibrations into the music itself... which still probably won't work if your phone doesn't support such an odd feature.
I have a 8525 with WM6 and I can't use .mid files for ringtones.
Is there some secret way of making them show up?
when i was using a SPV-200 (voyager smartphone/WM 2003) i used to change the ring tone or notification script via the registry.. i suit the timing of the vibration on my selected wav file..
i remember the registry path is.. HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds or HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories
i think i used the script afpv2w2v1w1v2r.. i think it means, backlight on, then play the notification wav file, vibrate for 2 seconds, wait for two seconds, vibrate for 1 second, wait 1 second then vibrate for 2 second, then repeat.. well that was what i remember how my voyager reacted when i get a call..
the PPC registry still has it, and the path for the ring tone script is in, HKCU\ControlPanel\Sound\Ringtone0\script
here are the codes for the script.. haven't checked though if all still work on WM5/WM6..
a = infinite loopback anchor
fn = backlight ON
vn = vibrate ON
p = play sound
wn = wait or delay (must have 'a' or 't' and 'r' to work)
r = repeat (must have 'a' or 't' to work)
tn = amount of time the tone will loop (must have ‘r’ to work)
cn = increase volume on next play (must have 't' and 'r' to work, n value must be 300 or higher to see effect)

Hi
I have searched but did not find a good answer or solution, how in hell can I listen to music with vibrate mode? it's very annoying that I can't do it, for example when I have many people around me for example at the train, I want to listen to music without hearing the stupid ringtone come through the speakers even when I use the handsfree I get the ringtone direct in my ear and the speakers, why? any solution? I think maybe the problem is Windows Mobile but there must be a way to fix this...
I have found a solution for this, but you will have to use a freeware app called G-Profile.
Install it
Create a profile called Music (or whatever)
In Type choose: Program Based
Choose your Music Player in "Execute"
Change the Notifications: For instance: Phone: Incoming call, choose "Vibrate"
Quick and dirty tutorial, but try G-Profile, get the hang of it and you'll be glad you did.
thanks working
i just have a silent ringtone lol
Apologies if this has been asked but I've not found a thread so far for this problem.
I am using rom 1.61 and recently decided to add different ringtones to my most common contacts. The ringtones are just normal MP3 files, eg some are songs, some are stuff like TV theme tunes etc. They all play perfectly in any of the media players like coreplayer etc.
But when any person with a personalised ringtone calls me, I get no ringtone at all. The phone vibrates, and the speaker is on & volume turned up, but no sound plays.
Anyone know if this is a fault, or is there a setting I have missed or something?
Thanks
Jim
i had this problem with the same rom but i found that setting the ringtone through file explorer seemed to sort it out
Don't think that will help will it mate?
You can only set the current overall ringtone like that, and the problem I've got is that ringtones set that are different for various people do not play.
Actually, I just found something out, that when I've set these personalised ones for different people it has set itself as a default tone just to vibrate.
I've changed it to a proper ringtone now, but I'll have to get a friend to call me to see if this works now. I have a suspicion there's more to it than this......
Bump! Anyone?
