It's been a long time, but I havn't found the answer for this one as well.. ..did anybody have a solution for this "problem"?

HKLM\software\palm\varnish\diallookup\phonestatus
2 keys
goodbyesound
welcomesound

Great! Will check it out later, seems there is more to tweak on a Treo than you would think at first sight

I found the two keys at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Palm\Varnish\DialLookupPlugin\PhoneStatus
GoodbyeSound
WelcomeSound
They were pointing to two different .wav files in the Windows directory. I couldn't delete or move them, so I placed a blank .wav file in the Windows directory and edited the keys to point to that file. After I did a soft reset, the edits that I made to the keys are still there, but the stupid ass old sounds still play when I hold the power button on or off. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Are there any keys that exist to just disable them altogether?

Comm Manager Taskbar Icon

I've got a UK Orange M600 (Prophet) and have a number of today plugins but i'm running out of screenspace in the today view.
there is a taskbar at the bottom with an icon for the comm manager which i'd love to get rid of. I already have a hardware button for the Comm Manager i don't need an icon on my today screen as well and it takes up the whole width of the screen even though it is just one tiny icon
does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, i've even swapped to the latest Dopod rom and not loaded any of the extended ROM and it is still there
Sorry if this isn't exactly the right place to post this but it's been driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated
Go to windows\startup. There should be an init_tray.lnk there. Delete it, then reset the device.
Cool
thanks worked a treat.
I knew it should be something simple
Do you know what Capnotify.lnk is? which is also in my startup dir
Nope. It links to Capnotify.exe in windows dir, but I have no idea what that does.
You could always try cut / paste to move the link somewhere else, boot without it and see what's missing (my guess, some notification won't work).
As long as you don't delete the link completely it should be relatively safe.
Instead of being lazy i looked it up
found this
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry. After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

sounds like a typical Windows Thing, something which is run all the time on everyones compauter but not even enabled in 99% of cases
OhWell
Thanks. No I know I can get rid of it since my device doesn't have a hardware keyboard.

Activesync making BEEP every 5 minutes.How to disable?

Hi guys
When I connect the phone with the usb cable activesync makes a BEEP every 5 minutes. I cannot find the registry key to disable this. Anyone know it?
BTW i'm trying to disable the BEEP when I press the red HANG key. I know the sound played is "dpadctl.mid" and I disable it on all the registry keys it appears, reset, and is still making that sound everytime i press that key.
It might help a little too if you told us what Phone Device you are using and what ROM/Radio you are using.
I don't think it helps too much since the registry keys for events are the same for all windows mobile phones with WM5 and WM6.
I got a TyTN (HERMES 200) with Super D-Lite ROM.
Please close thread.
I found the solution disabling the active sync sound. (well, that's more a workarround than a solution)
And for the HANG KEY i found more registry keys with the sound. I previously missed it cause i searched '\windows\dpadctl.mid' and not 'dpadctl.mid' directly.
I hope this is usefull for somebody.
Hey Man Im Having The Same Exact Problem On My T-Mobile Wing How Do I Disable That I Only Find That dpadctl Sound in Windows File Explorer windows/ Can You List A Step by Step to Disable It ?

help, cannot control volume with keys

my pro starter acting up, when u on a call and u press the volume down or up it does not do anything, doesnt even move, also, if u wanna turn the ring or sys volume up or down it does not move with the keys, the only way is doing it by touch on the screen but is very complicated since i have big hands, any one knows how to fix this?
I had this same problem and I couldn't figure it out. Eventually I uninstalled S2U2 and magically the problem was fixed...
i tried uninstalling a couple of programs but the problem still remains....
s2u2 caused this to me too. make sure the option "dont use keyboard hook" is set to ON

Taskbar customization and volume manager

I finally customized my mega the way I wanted it to be when I initially bought it. I'm also running a 6.5.5 rom. Unfortunately I still have some issues with it and I was wondering if someone knew anything about them. First of them is if it would be possible to remove the start soft key in the bottom left corner of the screen. That would be nice since the mega already has a hardware start key and the one on the screen becomes redundant. It would be nice if we would just have two soft keys in the bottom corners
Also, I looked for a solution for the ugly volume manager in these last builds but couldn't really find one. I tried other volume managers like setvolume but that one is buggy even with answering phone calls. I find that unacceptable because most of all, it's a phone. So maybe if we could restore the default one or use another one without so many bugs that would be great. I saw somewhere that a solution was already available but for vga phones. Maybe that could be ported to qvga
I am with you on this. Would love to see these fixes.
I need theses fixes too!!! WM 6.5.5 has bad interface...
Why does the volume control must be so fat and ugly??
The most important thing is volume control in the youtube app sucks!
I wish someone can fix the volume control to use back the original HTC one.
Erm ok, the problem is even when the default HTC Volume control is implemented in the ROM, for some reason WM 6.5.5 overwrites that. I tried a few times. I think that sucks cos I'm a student , and my phone needs to be on silent. But the new volume control can be activated on the lockscreen so I'm afraid it would turn silent off. Any suggestions for this?

There's a nice app called SetVolume that does the trick quite nicely. Also, there's a cab that can remove the start button. I lost the cab but there's a registry tweak that does the job. You can search for it.
