Hi!
I am looking for a way to adjust the loudness of incoming SMS notification seperately from the system loudnes on my XDAII.
What I want is putting the system loudness down so that no menue clicks or game sounds can be heared, but notification of SMS and alarms are still loud.
Is that possible? Any toos for this?
Thanks for help

If you've got access to some sound editing software (like GoldWave or something - just search downloads.com for one), copy the sound you're currently using for SMS notification over to your PC, edit the volume level (GoldWave can do this - dunno about others), and then copy it back.
If you increased the sound volume by about 200-250% you could then turn down your system volume, but the SMS sound would still be loud. Be careful if you turn the system sound back up though - you wouldn't want to damage your speaker!

It seems that u can use any MP3, wav etc. files as your ringtone. But if you set your ringtone to vibrate and ring, the audio will play well but the vibrate mode will continue vibrating until the audio finish, and this is kinda annoying.
Is there any software that could edit this ringtone and vibration mode?
I know that nokia ringtones has the ability to control the vibrate pattern with their .nrg files, but i don't think it's supported with PPC and you can't get the .nrg editor. They keep it close to themselves.
Do let me know if there's any such s/ware or any of u guys who could develop it...

Anyone have an answer to this? I know that this post is old but perhaps there is still no clear answer (yes I have done the search thing but nothing came out) so I am having the same problem, anyone out there who could shed light into this? It would be also be beneficial if someone could tell me if there is a way to make the long custom sms stop when I have already acknowledged the alert? it is kinda annoying specially if you forget to set to silent on a meeting, it still plays even if I have already touched the phone and tried to switch it off. please help? thanks.
i am searching for this function too. vibrate and sound at the same time. every profile-manager i have seen can make only vibrate or sound. or first sound an then vibrate.
This Software can make it:

(Profil: loud)
but i need only a software for profiles not for contacts and so on.
Hello people,
I have a bit of a problem with my sms sound on my HD. I dont get any sound notifications when a new SMS comes. I have enable sound, under settings, sound and notifications i have checked Play Sound and selected a builtin one. Vibration is off. Any ideas of what maybe the problem?
Thank you in advance.
ck Settings>Sounds&Notifications>Sounds and see if the Notifications box is ck'd or unck'd.

Hey guys,
as it turned out the Ring sound level is only for the ringing tone. I had ring level on maximun while system level was off. I raised the system volume and the sms sound was back on. I dont know if this applies to the rest of you but give it a shot. Thanks for your replies.
hello.my problem is:i set in "Notification Sounds" ringtone for "reminder".now when i set "alarm" on "on" ,so when after alarm ringing,so playing two ringtones together.them which i set on "reminder" and "alarm".everyone similar problem?thanx and sorry for my very very bad english
no one hasn't this problem?when ringing sound in alarm,playing melodies which i set in alarm and playing melodie which i set in reminder together crisscross
I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but I am having an issue which I have only just noticed this morning.
I set my alarms for work and I always use the snooze sound which wakes me up the best. This morning no snooze sound. When I tested the alarm I realised it was using the reminder sound which was set to a quiet alert sound. Changing the reminder sound in the settings also changes the alarm sound.
IS this what you mean?
So, I have similar problem regarding reminder but not the same.
I think it has a serious bug, and our problems connect somehow in the background.
1.) In some cases (I can not define the rule) there is only reminder sound, not alarm. It is absolutely strange because it is not loud enough to wake me up.
2.) First I have set up 3 schedules: 5:00, 5:30, 6:00 without description text.
After I have modified them to 5:00, 5:15, 5:30, and I have given names for they.
What happens? The reminder sounds 5 (!) times, at all of the above schedules, even at 5:30 2 times! It is really strange.
Of course, probably it can be cleaned based on the registry, but this is very dangerous. What will happen after the next modification?
Any idea to fix it?
richardirv:yes,this is it.when ringing alarm,leo playing two songs together.for alarm and for reminder...
Double sound in reminders & alarms
Yes you are right.
This has been present for a long time with WM6.5 and HTC Sense/Manila.
I am guessing it is because 2 systems are operating.
A workaround I use is to assign an unobtrusive sound to reminders in WM sounds & notifications, like alarm-high frequency and a different alarm sound.
I don't think there is a fix for this.

Reminder notifications: SOUND without VIBRATION not possible
Hi, I got excatly the same problem, two sound when the clock alarm is activated. I can stand with this... but today I have found even worse problem and I am totally disapointed this htc software...
So, when I setup calendar apointment, and create "Reminder notification" for this lets say 5 minutes before event, then of course I get a pop-up with: "delay" or "cancel" the event. But the problem is with SOUND and VIBRATION for this reminder event. Namely, I can not force the phone to make a "Reminder notification" sound ONLY, without vibration. When I go to: settings, sound and screen, reminder sounds, I can turn on switch for reminders. This is OK, then click on reminders to go in and here a problem: VIBRATION: OFF, ON, ONLY. When set up to OFF and confirm, the main switch for reminders is changed to OFF! So no sounds for reminders at all!!! When I switch it on again and go into reminders settings, and choose VIBRATION ON and confirm and go back, main switch stays on but this means that the only configuration which works is to have reminder events with VIBRATION AND SOUND... totally crap
can anybody investigate? Thanks in advance.
Reminder issue
Hi I'm also having an issue with the alarm function.
On Monday I set alarms for 5:00, 5:15 & 5:30 (just in case I get lazy and sleep in)
On Monday night I turn them off, but they still sound on Tuesday????
I spoke to HTC and they said I need to reflash the latest image, which is total rubbish and a common answer to every single problem you send them.
Is this the same issue?
Is there a fix?
my workaround is to only ever set/change settings for anything like alarms or reminders in the windows settings (settings menu all settings clocks and alarms or sounds and notifications)
using the manila pages (tap alarms on home page, or settings, sound and display) always screw things up.
it seems themanila pages arent correctly integrated, in that they don't correctly feed the settings back into the windows settings. also, they don't seem to use the same paths for sounds.
look at the available alarm sounds in manila alarms, and compare it to the available alarm sounds in windows clocks and alarms screen, and once you have set a sound for an alarm in winmob, have a look at the sound for that alarm in manila alarms.
i haven't seen this problem since i started only using win mo settings pages for setting alarms.
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"
Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.
If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!
I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).
Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.
Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.
I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.

You can go to your START/SETTINGS/SOUND & DISPLAY & unlick where it says use single volume for both settings!
@toreone
Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is.
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.
I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...

use your finger to swipe-scroll the settings list up and down, you'll find it there.

This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.
SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.
So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.

I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..
