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.

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.

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!

It works also with MS Smartphones (SPV, etc...)

Extended rimg on Orange
Does extended ring work on UK Orange? If so what are the numbers?
Thanks.

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?
thanks

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.

Tips & Tricks

Thought this might be a good place to start listing any quick tips and tricks you might have discovered.
To Lock Device quickly
Keep finger on the Red (Call End) button and it will bring up some options including keylock.

Not sure if anyone's noticed this but when I end a call on my Dual there is annoying little delay of about 3 seconds before the actual call is ended so I searched the registry and found this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
And I changed the value of EndCallTime from 3000 to 1000 re-booted and voila no more delays when ending calls

Hold the on/off button for soft reset.

Smart Dialing
This is an advertised feature but apparently not too many people are aware of it. Go to the phone app and start tapping the first couple of letters of the contacts name and the name matches will appear for you to choose from. I find this much easier than opening up the Contacts app and scrolling down to the name you need.

after pressing send for phoneapp u see last calls.
If u press left/right on the highlighted contact the phone switches through home/mobile/office...

HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ regulates the FPS of the cubeanimation.
Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" und "UpFPS" to something higher for a smoother (and faster) animation.

Disable 3G, if not needed (it drains the battery faster than GSM):
Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode and set it to "1"
Then also you could change that setting
Phone Settings --> Band --> Network Type --> GSM
To activate the changes, open the comm manager from the Cube, disable the phone and enable it again.
In italy with Vodafone I can't able to select also the Network Band GSM/UMTS to "GSM(900)" but I have to let it configured as "Auto" or "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"

Bits
Ello, new here.. no idea if this helps a few Dual owners but..
Apps found to work on the touch dual:
S2u2 (iphone slide to unlock app), works like a charm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
HHC, HTC Home Customizer (name says it all), also working like a charm:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
gfreek, thnx for the EndCallTime key, works perfect and.. 1 less annoying feature to go
Things I'm still looking to solve:
1. Mp3 ringtone seems to fade out after picking up a call, for about 2/3 seconds the ringtone is still audible :S
2. Looking for settings for the Handsfree profile, i have an Lm959 bluetooth bracelet (how geeky, i know), works fine.. but only for calls, the device is capable of blinking the leds on receiving msgs, im looking for the settings to enable just that on the TD.
3. Polling frequency of the TD seems to be on the high side, f.e. it takes about 3 rings from someone before the TD starts "ringing", since voicemail kicks in @ ring 6 I miss a lot of calls.
I found a topic about just this problem with the touch(Elf) on sprint networks, with a quickcode (##7380# I think, well.. I'm not on sprint..so that doesnt work over here.. anyone with any clue would be welcome.. My current solution is disabling voicemail..)

to do this quicker go to settings => long press end key
and select automatically execute and then lock device
holding the red button then locks the device in one press

You can invoke s2u2 instead normal devicelock
just install s2u2, rename Slide2Unlock.exe to EndKey.exe and copy all files to windows directory, with resco explorer.

the ilock doesnt seem to be working on my touch dual. when i try to go to settings, the screen goes blank.

You need to disable directdraw, do it via the registry as you can't access the settings.

Is there a way to add the "3G setting" directly in the Comm Manager as seen here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354380 ?

Go with Total Commander to:
\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager and change the key
"SupportedFunctions" from 4 to 5
then make a new map named "5" (without the quotes)
go to that map and make a STRING named "default" and the string must
be "3G" (also without any quotes).
Then turn the phone off and on again and there is a 3G setting in your CommManager. I did not manage yet to add a icon in front of it
(and also not tested the working of the new setting)

Thanks, someone also pointed me to Schaps' app that has that setting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

Another way ...
Go to ... Start > Settings > Phone > GSM/UMTS Band , Set Network to "GSM" & Leave GSM to "Auto".

that is driving me MAD at the moment. I'm missing almost all my calls.
Wish there was a way to change the amount of rings before voicemail kicks in.
please help someone!

ah found it, at least for UK Orange people:
Please bear in mind that the following code is only valid for phones on the Orange UK network.
The code to set the length of time your phone rings is:
**61*07973100123*11*??#
Where ?? is the time in seconds, e.g. to set the ring time to 30 seconds you would type the following code at the standby screen then press the green send button:
**61*07973100123*11*30#
To make your phone ring for only 10 seconds:
**61*07973100123*11*10#
The code works in 5 second intervals, i.e. you can set 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 seconds.

[Q] SRS WOW HD - Settings do not retain after soft reset

Dear all,
I'm currently enjoying the SRS WOW plugin which an be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2291468&postcount=81
However, after each soft-reset, my settings go back to default. I checked tru the registry settings and these seem to be associated with this plugin:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\BtA2dpSnd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev
The thing is, the values do not change when I change my SRS settings. It seems disconnected. I was hoping to find working registry settings, so I can probably create a cab to run each time I soft-reset.. but like I mentioned, the registry keys seem disconnected.
Anyone else who uses it experiences the same problem?
I've been on a few 6.1 ROMs, from Duttys and now Shaks. Same issue.
Thanks for reading.

bump......

Create 2 new keys with a registry editor
1.InputGain=0
2.OutputGain=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\BtA2dpSnd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't seem to work.
I added the 2 keys you mentioned into the 2 paths (total 4 keys) and they seem to be disconnected with the SRS control panel.
The thing is, I usually set the Input Gain and Output Gain to max (rest is default), but sadly these are the 2 settings which go back to default after a soft reset.

Wait a min.. Although I notice the regisry keys dont get updated each time i edit the gain settings.. it does remain at max settings after reset! (that is if the registry keys are set to zero)
Thanks again!!

Can someone please explain exactly what to do, for my settings to keep the same after Soft Reset ...
I tried changing those values to 0, but the problem is really that the setting are always at maximum after soft reset, they don`t stay as a previously configured them.
Someone found the solution to this already ?
Thank you in advanced !!!

Bump

Well for me, the maximum settings for TruBass is what I want, so I'm ok with it. I'm not sure if it stays in other settings.
Here are my personal settings (headphones):
3D Effect: 100%
Center Effect: 40%
Focus level: 0%
Definition level: 0%
TruBass level: 40%
Speaker size: 100Hz (40Hz for internal)
Input gain: 0dB
Output gain: 0db
I can confirm that these settings do stay that way after soft-reset.
The Headphone/Internal setting doesn't matter as that's the mode selection, meaning the headphone setting will be used when you plug-in your headphones.
I have created a cab that incorporates the extra registry settings and all for convenience. You might wanna try it and see if it helps:

Thank you for all your help ! It works perfect now !

Quiet sound during conversation

Hi,
I have a s200 for almost a week now and the phone sounds damn quiet when i am having a conversation, so i was wondering if your s200 sound a bit quiet too and most importantly if there is a way, a patch, a registry mod or something through which i could increase the volume of the phone.
All this is happening with volume to the top, i tried all of the methods i could think of but it is still quiet.
Thanks!

can you tell me if your phone is brand new? if its still new and under warranty i suggest you should to return this to where you bought it from if not... pls post specifications of your ROM like is it WM 5, 6, 6.1 or 6.5 coz registry tweaks differ from each ROM... for the mean time try reading this.. i copied this from an old forum thread which quotes on volume increasing...
[GUIDE]Registry Tweaks for Volume
Sorry if this has already been posted but there are a couple of things that are worth outlining to most users.. for example there are registry entries that allow you to change the volume and increase it significantly beyond windows actually supports and there are various other edits.. but one edit i really would like is to disable the Incoming Call Bubble..(haven't found a solution for it yet) but i thought i'd just provide everyone else with what i've found so far. (I take no credit for these registry edits)
Volume Edits
HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\
DWORD - Ringer
(HEX)Increase it to 0x#<change it to 5 or higher> to increase it to its maximum volume. - Only tested on the Atom Life
(DEC)Increase it to over 5 to increase the volume
DWORD - Volume
Same as Ringer DWORD
In Call Edits
REMOVE SOUNDS WHEN ADJUSTING VOLUME INCALL
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestIncallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestIncallVolume
STRING - Script
Remove the 'p' in the script strings to remove the noises while in a call. This makes the volume increase smoother and removes the annoying noises.
INCREASE INCALL VOLUME
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher
Ringtone Edits
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0
STRING - Script
Quote:

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. The repeat will be from the most recent a. So: v3apr will vibrate once then repeat the ring signal.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
RINGTONE VOLUME
HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\Ring
DWORD - InitVol
Defaults to around 2 - 5, Increase this to 5 or Higher
i havent tried all of the tweaks on my phone coz i dont need a loud one you can read them and try soft reset and then check if something had changed in your volume.. (credit to the one who made this thread)
and dont forget to back up your registry before applying changes you made...
you may try these driver too if this will be needed..
i attached also a taskmanager where in you can find registry editor in its sub menu..
Enjoy and hope this helps

The phone is brand new, but it has no valid warranty with it. I am running the original WM 5, which was installed on the phone, its brand is qtek, and it is g4, as far as i can see. I thought of upgrading to wm6, but i am afraid, that it may become unusable.
Anyway, i can notice any difference with the changes from your post, but now it is topo late and everything is quiet so i can hear a conversation quite clearly, i will run a "field test" tomorrow, and i will post the results.
Thanks for your help!
Regards!

Nope no change, still quiet

One day, i've got a problem like this... Sound heard of the conversation was poor when around was noisy...
This was a parameter to change in the microphone part of the settings :
"Start", "Parameters", "System" tab, "Microphone AGC" icon, then uncheck the gain of the microphone (set to disable)
Worth the try, eh ??

Call waiting vibration

I am facing a very weird problem:
my phone vibrates on call waiting...
i've had this problem on Energy ROMs from 28May to 12Jun.
At present i Am on :
Energy.BLACKSTONE.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dinik.Glass.Jun.11
it vibrates right at my ear... can't handle it. i have looked everywhere but can't seem to find a setting.
I am even using Task 29 to clear up my device before flashing every new ROM.
Some one please help. i know there could be a registry tweak to disable this. Call waiting vibration = 1, change to 0....
HELP!

You're right!
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting\Script
Change the value to pw3pw3p
p - play ringtone
w - wait number of seconds
v - vibrate
I'm sure there are a few more. But this ought to do the job

Thanks a ton!!

Dude ... i can't thank you enough for this!!! really..!!!
mine was set to pv1w3v1
i was tired of the phone buzzing my ear every time in a call waiting.
wonder where this started from. i have changes 3 ROMs since it first started.
Thank you very Much!! :-D

Call Wait Volume Adjustment
Is there any way to boost the volume of the call waiting tone? Been looking all over for a solution

Thank you so much for this. The vibrate is actually audible to the other line because it's so intense on my TP2. I too had searched all over the phone settings for a way to change this. I don't know why NRG changed the default on this and why it is so cryptic to change!
Much better now thanks!
