You can make it loop if you want
(Looping Ringtones)
This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:
While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...
Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')
"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops
Extending Ring
This may sound silly, but how do you edit the registry on the xda, I know how to do it on a PC.

Charlie
With one of these...
Thanks Bob
Will give it a go.
will this regedit work on xda II ??
cheers
yes it will work on all Pocket PC variants, including XDA2, MDA2, QTek2020, etc... (as long as they're ARM or XScale).
Thanks for that, will give it a go.
now be able to play with all the REG now.
cheers
Just to add another perspective, the amount of time the phone rings is actually a network setting (the time before it goes to the answering service) and can be changed by sending status codes to the service provider.
I'm sure if you google around a bit you will find the answer, but I changed mine from 20 seconds to 40 seconds, which greatly reduced my missed calls.
Surur
Edit: Done the googling for you. Check out this website (Tekguru) with a guide of sorts.
surur - that's a very useful tip - thanks a bunch for that
Hmm, few days ago, I found this reg values in the registry. I try some variations but with no success. I will check it again.
Maybe
a = alarm
v = vibrating
??
So, can I setup my phone, to vibrate periodic, while ringing continous a long WMA? Easyer to notify periodic, short vibrating, and it reduce battery usage I think.
Another question. I like siemens phones, because it plays a signal continously, while the ring-echo tone is hearable. It is good, because sometimes the started call interrupted.
With other phones like XDA, there is no signal while I waiting for the ring-echo tone. Sometimes the initiated call is interrupted, and I waiting for the nothing. The phone not notify me that the call is not completed.... :?
Can I make a Siemens-like tone for dialing?
(Can you understand what am I writing? )
Thank you!

i used a wma file for my incoming SMS, but when a message arrives and i am reading it, the wma file just keeps playing. Can i set this in such a way that when i open the message, the music stops?

here is the documentation on how to set ringtones
i checked msdn , but couldn't find anything about the 'script' values this doesn't mean it isn't there, maybe I'm temporarily blind.
I would like to have my ringtone Vibrate then loop without pause with increasing volume, so i tried all the possibilities in phone settings and checked the registry :
Code:
script for ring : apw3r
Increasing ring : c50apw3c150r
ring once : p
vibrate : av3w3r
vibrate and ring : av0pw3r
Vibrate then ring : v3w3apw3r
so as far as i could figure out :
v3 stands for vibrate 3 seconds and v0 stands for Vibrate continuous
p stands for play
w3 stands for wait 3 seconds
c50 sets the volume to 50 ? and C150 adds 150 ?
a & r are used as begin loop & end loop
so my final script is v3w3c50apc150r which means
1) vibrate 3 secs
2) wait 3 sec
3) set vol to 50
4) play
5) add 150 to volume
6) repeat from step 4
I'm not exactly sure about the volume settings, but it works (as long i don't change the phone settings thru control panel)
hope this helps anyone

Nice M4io, I'll try that. thanks bro.

You can change the script in the registry. However, whenever you open the Phone Setting and click OK (since there's no Cancel button), the new setting will overwrite your modified script.
I like staccato vibrating while ringing normaly.
Like this:
Code:
ring: -------------- -------------- ------------
vibr: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I tryed some code variations, but didn't work.
In my Phone Profiles you have "staccato" vibration. I named it: pulsed vibrate. Both for rings and sms alerts.
I know that many users have problems with my Phone Profiles, but also I know how many users use it without problems (believe me: more). I still improve my softeware and make modifications and fixes. The problem depends from another software inside your hardware. Most of them are because IDCaller is inside the default OEM system in some hardware and users cannot remove this program. Alternatively you have not to use a advanced features from my software.
I give a free trial version to check how it works with your phone.
When I set "Vibrate and Ring", the vibration continue during the whole playing of MP3 file.. :-( Is it possible to make th? vibration work interrupted?
Otherwise I can assign only short MP3 files for the ring...
Use 'Vibrate then ring' instead of 'Vibrate and ring' to solve this ;-)
Regards, M
But I want Vibration alo during MP3 play. :-( No other way?...
Not that I know of, even all profilers I've seen are using the default options.
Maybe one, like VIJay555 or Zendrui can built it?
Cheers, M
Maybe it is possible to set Vibration-time and Vibration-pause in the Registry??
Well it seems you can get it with PocketZenPhone
http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewtopic.php?t=12
I didn't read the manual & hadn't explored it enough, Zendrui made it clear again:
zendrui said:
in PZP there are 2 kind of ringtone : "short vibrate and ring and "vibrate and ring".
The vibrate lenght is configurable in seconds "short = 1sec", "vibrate = 3 sec"
Probably other values can be possible ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
& I must say PZP is a wonderful profiler, I can recommend it.
Cheers, M
Thank you a lot! I'll tryit!
Sorry - no success..:-( Only Vibration (long or short) then - the ring using MP3 file...
I got the same effect, too bad I really thought PZP was doing the job. Maybe I wasn't clear enough or maybe a magician reacts different in this case. Anyway I'll ask zendrui again.
Regards, M
Really! If it is possible to make short or long Vibration with the some software-tricks - so it may be possible to add some string into the Registry (by hands! Without any 3-d software - it's more constructive) to have Vibration work not continuously DURING the ring with MP3!...
But who knows how to do it....
When you open the PZPmode?.txt files in PZPmodes, you can see what Zendrui puts into the reg. for the different switches. Now only you need to know what they mean. Probably all described in a SDK or so.
Cheers, M
Thank you! It's really interesting, but doesn't solve the problem....

You just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call?
or
U dont want an INCOMING CALL ALLTOGETHER?
I gather it is the Former coz In the latter simply turn On <flight mode>
U can also set the device to recieve calls without Ringing by setting it to Pick up after <zero> calls.
Using a handsfree here would be an advantage.
U wont Miss any call.
I just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call. Is it possible?

I doubt it... Seems kinda pointless, having the ability to tell you who is calling, but then deliberately turning it of..
yes, but when someone is calling, there is always a delay.
When you hear the first ring, the caller already heard it twice.
Maybe by disabling this, it would speed up the process a bit

That's the network, not the device.
It can't be the network, I never had this problem with my Nokia phones.
I personally think it's a flaw in the dialer application or in WinMobile itself.

I agree with texarcana here, the lights begin to flash on my phone when it rings a good few seconds before the screen get around to displaying the incoming call notification.
This is on WM 6.1, on my new HTC Diamond Touch.
I assume that notifications such as an incoming call or text message are either
A) A windows message sent to a background service awaiting it.
B) An application is executed with parameters describing the event
In either case, i believe it must be possible to redirect the notification in the registry. However, if the notification method is at fault (ie causing slow response, most likely to be true if B above is true.)
I'm going to investigate, I'll post an update of my results.
Im really sorry to bump this really old thread but has anyone solved this?? I would like to disable the incomming call notification too.. cuz I just added a full screen caller ID, but the damn notification pops up and covers the photos of my contacts.. so whats the point of the caller ID if i, not gonna be able to see the pictures
well i know its in Hkey_curent_User\controlpanel\notifications\phone
but im not sure how to disable it...
or even more important (for me) only disable it for a certain #...? thanks! anyonbdy
To Diamond I found. cab which options are unblocking "flash light for." in SOUND & NOTIFICATION it didn't give but nothing. I dug around in the HKLM/Drivers/Builtln/Keylight and Keypad register and I turned off LED generally speaking but I blocked buttons
first you'll need a registry editor, then edit the following key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone
Duration=1
change the 1 to 0
im not sure if this is exactly the fix you were looking for. its intended for stopping he default caller id bubble from blocking fullscreen caller id apps like s2u2.

Didn't work for my samsung i760, what about DispllayOrder? Set it to 0 too? Or what would that do exactly? I'm curious now, it's set to 1 so if all else fails, I could change it back to 1 again... I guess. I'd just like to know first before I go blindly jumping into something.. haha
Sidenote setting it to 0 did work I just had to reset my phone so remember to reset your phone after changing this, I see the curtain try to popup, or at least the frames but nothing after that... Although sometimes it does act buggy and I'll completely miss or be able to answer a call cause my phone will constantly viberate (No pickup on ringtone at all starting) then after the call is missed the viberating will stop but my phone will still be frozen... Thats when the screen is off though..
Okay after a few tests sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't work at all and the curtain will still show up... Then again screen off sometimes the phone wont ring at all, I'm setting it back to 1... LoL
I just wish there was a way or a more advanced notification manager, it should be just like being able to disable incoming text messages and disabling sent message notifications..
____
I'd love a fix for this too, as I already have a picture caller id with PocketX Photo Contacts Pro...
But it's annoying as all get out!! To put it politely, I slide to answer then I've got to press the left softkey too! In order to answer a call, if I could just disable the built in windows mobile caller id curtain then it'd be a heck of a lot easier...
Please let's get a scripter on this to start working their way around and tweaking it to be able to be disabled..
Thanks!!

As for ring delay which is also a few other posters concern of the phone taking it's own sweet time to decide when to start ringing... This is what I used for my i760, I'm sure someone here could turn this into use for any phone make and model:
Ring Time Limit Fix:
**772 [service code]
six zeros for the code (000000)
Scroll down with the d-pad till you see end of basic nam
hit right d-pad to change "exit" to "more"
hit middle d-pad to select
hit the down d-pad 76 times till it says slot cycle index
Change this to 1 or lower EDIT: By entering the value with the number pad and then you hit the middle d-pad to exit.
This changes the frequency at which the phone talks to the tower and will
start the unit ringing MUCH faster. the lower you go the faster but the more battery it uses. I find 1 gets the phone ringing within 3 seconds but doesn't hinder battery life.

I've got mine set to 0 though, but then again, I don't get very many calls, plus I have my phone charging a lot. Also I always carry around a spare extended fully charged battery in my holster... Usually my battery lasts a whole day... But with it set to 0 my phone picks up and rings at the end of the first ring on the callers end.
Hey,
I would like to upgrade to the TyTN but I need to known if the is any issue with the phone like it was on the Universal.
When someone calls you does the TyTN ring straight aswait or does it start ringing after3 or 4 ring like it did on the universal.
Is the screen aligment on the TyTN been sorted out?
Is they any major problem with the device?
Well it run TomTom Navigator 6?
Cheers for any input.
Thanks

I have found that there is a ring delay of 1 ring on my Tytn (Vario II). I too had the Universal on trial with VodaUK and the delay was excessive.
The screen alignment issue is only a problem for me if the phone get excessively hot (such as the time I left it near my laptop fan) other than that is works reasonably well.
I have tried TT 5.10 and it ran well.

there is an option in Tweak2k2 program is "Disbles 3s delay in Ringtone", i didn't try it yet, please test
sorry about my english
i have the tweaks2k2 program installed and the 3s delay is ticked......but when someone calls me there is still a delay of one ring only and then the phone wakes up on the second ring........
and yes tom tom 6 will definitely work.....

I think the value varies depending on the settings you have for ring tone, I have "vibrate and then ring" and my default value was "v3w3apw3r". I've been plying with the values and ringing myself after each change, this is my conclusion:
The first '3' specifies the vibrating time before the phone rings, the second '3' specifies the delay after the phone stops vibrating and the ringtone starts playing and the third '3' specifies the delay between repeated ringtones. Correct me if I am wrong
errr.... forget my previous comment, I was wrong but Google told me the truth:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So according to the data given,
The phone activates and rings. There is no delay between.
...yet there is a decent amount of delay before the device rings on this end.
I don't have tweaks2k2 but it seems it doesn't do any better anyway...
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
I want to get rid of the delay, but I'd like to be able to use PhoneAlarm and they probably aren't compatible.

This fixes this problem. The ring delay is a common problem regarding the power/wake up status of the phone. The fix corrects it.
Download tweaks2k2 from www.tweaks2k2.com, and you will have an evaluation copy which will work for three goes. I recommend you purchase if you're happy with it, it's a great tool, and so many uses! The writer should be rewarded.

Ive got the beep problem too, and you can turn it off with a regedit:

Dash 3G Call Initiation Beep
I need help...i am using the sk tools lite to edit the registry as suggested, but I cannot navigate to the HKCU/SOundcategories/callstart because it only shows HKCR, HKLM and no results found.
I have tried following the directions here, but need a little more guidance.
I am making calls in the evening and would really like to disable the call initiation beep (1 quick beep). I have no other beeps (such as minute timer) or disconnect tone.
If someone could please reply with specific instructions on how to navigate and disable, I would truly appreciate it. I have also tried a master reset, because I thought that at one point, I had found a way to turn it off (and i wouldn't hear it at all) but that was when i first got the phone a year ago. I can't remember how to turn it off now, I thought it was in one of the settings options, but have been through each one a dozen times, and still cant find it.
Please? anyone? Thank you.
I am using the HTC Snap, and I have the same problem as you. I cannot search HKCU using SKtools
However, using Mobile Registry Editor, I can access the registry on the HTC Snap, and going thru this path:
HK_Current User > Control Panel > Soundcategories >CallStart,
and changing the initVol to 0, I can get rid of the beep
However the change doesn't stick.
It reverts back to the irritating beep whenever I restart the phone or change profile... Anyone can help?!
Help anyone?
