I tried doing a search, but struggled finding something. Every single rom I flashed, when I go into phone settings and I click ok, it goes to the ring page setting and I see my ring tone change to some default. I could guess maybe it's due to x-button 1.0 but not sure. Does anyone have any clue for a fix?
I don't exactly follow. Just to clarify, you go to Start -> Settings -> Phone change your ringtone to something other than the default, hit "OK" and instead of closing/minimizing, it takes you directly back to the "Phone" settings page and it's set itself back to the default ringtone?
Is that what you mean?

sometimes I don't get good reception at the location I'm at so I go into the phone settings, hit network tab and select find network. I click ok and then it sends me back to the phone tab where my sounds are at and my ring tone is changed to the default. Whenever I do this, I constantly have to change it back to my original ring tone.
I know it's a small picky problem, but just never had this problem in WM5.
Well, that is strange. I couldn't replicate it.
Do you let your battery die a lot? I've heard a lot of Wizards can often revert to default settings if your battery goes completely dead.

I find this happens to me as well... and I never let my battery completely die. I wonder if it's related to the fact that my main phone ringtone is on the storage card... with the Wizard's notoriously 'wonky' miniSD slot, maybe the connection is occasionally interrupted and causes the problem.
Same problem here, using mfrazzz Crossbow Reloaded 1.5. I use a mp3 file as my ringtone, which is in the root of my storagecard.
I have a similar issue and I think it is down to some registry settings and where your ringtones are. I built my ROM with an additional Ringtone and then set this to be the default ringtone through an .RGU file. It works as long as you don't change it.....
If I change the rington (or turn on vibrate) then I can never re-select the ringtone, even though it is listed. If I edit the registry to change it, it works, but obviously editting the registry to change ringtones is a bit OTT. I have been playing around with this as I have a spare Wizard so if I find anything else I will post on this thread.
The registry keys in question are:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Ringtone0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone2
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCatagories\RingPreview

OK, quick update. The file I had as my default ringtone was 'Cellular4.wav'. I added this to the ROM and changed the references in the registry (.RGU file) to point to this file. Now if I changed it via Phone, Options then the changes would take effect, however selecting this file again via the same options didn't work and the file would appear to be selected but was the previous option (filename or vibrate), manually changing this via the Registry worked however.
I have now re-encoded the file to be a .WMA file and re-built the ROM and it now appears to work. The file needs adding to the registry entry to allow it to be selected if the file isn't in the \Windows\Rings folder:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"Ringtones"=multi_sz:"Ring-WindowsMobile .wma", "Ring-Standard .wma", "Ring-Vision .wma", "Cellular4 .wma"

I'm suprise I'm not the only one with this problem. So adding your filename to the registry fixes the problem?

I think the file needs to be there as well, plus it needs to be a .wma file (as opposed to a .wav or .mp3), I am not sure about the extra space in the filename (cellular4 .wma), however it is working fine for me now.

I have been suffering from this too but couldn't find the root cause nor repeatability.
One thing I did find is that switching from Internet Calling back to calling via GSM reset the ring type back to default, even though when initially going from GSM to Internet Calling the latter rang correctly.
I have this problem as well. If the tone is highlighted when I press OK it goes back to default... Click play and then stop..... now it is not highlighted, and it will stay!!
It just doesnt like you Badbert..
happened for me too, then i installed Signed_Tmo Ringtones that comes with tmobile rom. It fixed it. Hope this works for you as well.
wow...it worked, thanks!

Hello:
I have SPB time and recently the alarms seem to have stopped working.
They work if I place a test alarm in the afternoon for example, but the ones in the morning to wake me up for work never go off.
I have tried, wakeupteak, and scarybears check notify, to no avail, I have re-installed SPB time and the alarms. I have rebuilt my unit from the ground up. Still the same problem!!
SPB time are out of ideas themselves.
Any ideas on what the problem may be, or can someone suggest an alternative clock/alarm program for the PPC for me to try.
Thanks.
Aame problem here. AlarmX from MTUX seems to work but it's not as pretty.
There are posts on the forum somewhere telling why this is. It's something like the device goes in to sleep mode (excuse the pun). The built in alarm works Ok (for me) and so does the alarm in Stop Time.
I've had problems with alarms for almost two years - I've found only two solutions:
Try SuperAlert from WhittakerMoore - it cured my alarm problems except when I had stuff which clashed with it, however it is commercial.
A more recent and radical approach which has also worked for me is as follows (you will need software which can modify the Notifications database, such as Anton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic).
The root of the problem is the CALNOT process which runs at midnight - it performs housekeeping and if it doesn't complete correctly, it fails to trigger the first alarm of the day (and therefore any subsequent ones until you turn the device on).
Use your product of choice to simply delete the midnight notification entry which runs CALNOT.exe - this means that the housekeeping isn't done every night but the alarms will be reliable, since it now cannot fail to complete(!). To make sure the cleanup does occur now and again, put a shortcut to CALNOT.exe in the startup folder. Yes, it makes startup after a soft reset a little slower but it's worth it I feel for reliable alarms. Alternatively you could run CALNOT manually. You must remember to remove the CALNOT notification after each time it runs (including timezone changes) as it reinstates its midnight entry each time.
Although I have over 350 entries in my calendar, I haven't noticed any degradation without the regular housekeeping but I have noticed the alarms working - it now wakes me every morning except when I forget to delete the damned entry after a soft reset.
Let me know how you get on.
Note: If anyone out there wants to knock together a tiny app. which runs CALNOT then removes the notification, I for one would be very grateful - I haven't had the time to do any WM coding yet.
I almost missed a plane because the alarm didn't ring so it's important to fix it. However:
simply delete the midnight notification entry which runs CALNOT.exe

how to find this program?
I searched at "calnot.exe" in the registry: nopes, searched in windows/startup: nopes. So how to find the program that calls calnot.exe to delete it? Or just delete the file calnot.exe?
Please help

Do NOT delete the program calnot.exe! Re-read what I wrote, in particular the need for software to edit the notifications database - THAT is where the entry is which needs to be deleted.
Do not quickly skim across the post details, getting half the picture then blindly blundering around in your device - that is the fast way to a hard reset!
Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't read it well, indeed, sorry.
So I deleted calnot from the notication queue and now it has to be fixed, apart from running calnot now and then? Do you (after a run) have to delete calnot again from the queue?
No worries, I just didn't want to be the cause of a hard reset.
Generally running calnot doesn't seem to restore the notification entry, there is a special system notification entry (which I don't recommend you delete) which restores it at each soft reset.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
@mtbsoft. Thanks for you're warning. But now I have some troubble with calnot.exe : can't copy/shortcut it to startmenu as you mentioned, can't even rename the read only status and can't run it (i.e. after double clicking I don't see it in the notification database appear). Any sugestions?
Tapping on it will run it - it doesn't have a user interface so won't be visible. I think you've misunderstood about the notification - running calnot.exe manually WON'T put the notification back, that only occurs when you soft-reset.
I assume you are using the in-built File Explorer, you should be able to navigate to calnot.exe then tap and hold to select Copy. Now go to the \windows\startup folder and use the Edit menu at the bottom left to select Paste as Shortcut. calnot.exe is actually in ROM so you can't rename or delete it (easily).
It worked! I tried it several times like you described, but got the message it was in use, or something like that. But now it's ok. Thanks a lot, the alarms seems to work properly.
@mtbsoft: I found a program/tweak that may solve the problem. It's free.
Look at http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php for wakeup tweak
All wakeup tweak does (to my recollection) is adjusts the Power up timeout that so many others also do - the results are variable and it doesn't work for me. I actually found a better solution in the shape of SuperAlert from www.whittakermoore.com - finally 100% reliable.
I didn't no, learnt again something. I'll give it a try. Thanks
Okay, I've searched through the registry and \windows folder and cannot find the startup noise that is played after a soft reset, when the system is loading.
It's very loud and would like to get rid of it. I do have my "system" sounds turned off e.g. "Events" and it doesn't help.

Nope. I saw that one too.
That's for turning the phone (radio) on/off and then it shows you that Carrier logo splash screen.
I need when WM5 boots up...
In fact, I can't even find the sound file that is playing when it boots. I thought it was "notify.wav" but that's not it.
You'd think it would be here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\SystemStart\Sound
But \SystemStart\Sound doesn't exist and I can't find anything similar.
Really baffling (and yes, I know I could just throw the vibrate switch on, but not at 4 am when I do a sched. reset!).
Found it - Disable Startup Sound Treo 700wx
I, too, have been searching for this one. The problem isn't technically when restarting the Treo 700wx, it actually had to do with the device realizing that an SD card has been inserted (which it happens to do at startup).
Here's the registry key:
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Volume\SDInsertSound\File
This was set to "Alarm1.wav", I changed it to "No Sound.mid" (a blank sound file).
Enjoy!
i have tried the fake server method and setting to manual- didnt work
tried the disabling replog.exe using memmaid didnt work
tried unchecking change time auto in phone settings - didnt work
i tried deleting poutlook.exe from startup- didnt work
tried the reg edit of activesync mentioned earlier changing from 5 to 0 - didnt work
my god. i even installed quickmenu and hit its setting to turn off activesync
it still starts!!!
what else is possible??
Same here and it's darned annoying!
Anyone have a solution??

if you use fdcsoft task manager and go into notifications look for the repllog.exe that states "Event: The system time change" (for me its the one in the middle of the three) and disable that.

But you have to enable it every time you actually need to sync...
You shouldn't have to, the ActiveSync USB connection is controlled by one or both of the other 2. Disabling the one mentioned above has worked for me. It now ONLY appears if I ActiveSync.

Hi
Before 3 days I replaced TF3d with this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423851&highlight=diamond+manila
Since now I hadn't randomly activesync and charching over night is ok
has anyone found an easier way to make this happen?
dont forget to try turning off the 'automatic change time zone and clock' found in settings-> personal -> phone ->time zones
this mixed in with disabling repllog (apprunaftertimechange)
and mixed with creating a fake server to set the update time to manual
these 3 things combined together worked for me

This 2007 thread from KidNovak explains it all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322673
You'll need the program “Task Manager by FdcSoft” --> go to "Notifications", select the correct repllog, and click the Icon with the RED dot at the bottom. No need to erase or delete. The Red Dot disables that repllog, and you can enable it again in the future if you need it.
I want to ask just oine thing.
What does the activesync do that you are so mad about it being active? From my own experience it doesnt seem to drain battery, it doesnt pop up any windows, it doesnt make sounds, or noises. Its quiet. So why trying to remove it with such dedication and force?
Just ignore it. I do. And i dont have a problem.
Disabling ActiveSync KeepAlive Setting to manual >>>
I have an AT&T Tilt which ActiveSync keeps autostarting every five minutes and could not stop it. It was a serious power drain on the battery. I found that it takes 3 fixes to stop the sync action from auto-starting all the time.
1. Kill the repllog / remote h process in the task manager (recommmend fdc taskmanager for this)
2. Disable the Repllog Notification (Apprunaftertimechange) in the Notification Window.
3 Registry hack > HKEY>CURRENTUSER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>ACTIVESYNC
locate value "Keep Alive" change this to "0" for disabled. 1 will keep it alive with the remote h settings.
I have Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro and use AS version 4.5 the latest and this works for me.
The ultimate solution.
Ok here's what you do. The fake exchange server solution never worked for me either.
First of all you need FdcSoft's Task Manager program. It is the best and a must have.
Use the Notifications editor to disable the repllog.exe for RunAfterTimeChange. (The disable button is the one with the red dot.)
Use the registry editor to go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync] Change the KeepAlive value to 0. Tap and hold "KeepAlive" (or go to file menu) and select "Export...". (not Export All) Save this .reg file in the \\Windows\StartUp folder or save it somewhere else and copy it there.
Now you will need Ghisler's Total Commander.
Using Total Commander, browse to \\Windows\Startup folder or wherever you saved .reg file. (Windows mobile doesn't automaticaly know that .reg file should be opened with TaskMgr so you have to associate it.)
Tap and hold your .reg file and select Properties. Select "Associate" tab. Tap gray box that says "Associate..."
In "Command:" box browse to the folder where TaskMgr.exe is. (\Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe)
In "Parameter:" box leave the "%1" there, and type "/silent" right after. ("%1/silent") This will keep a dialog box from poping up on start up.
"Ok" everything and you're done! Enjoy.
I'm also running Windows Mobile 6.1 on an HTC Touch Elfin.
Here's how I was finally able to do it, and my notes:
-disable auto time zone/clock updates in “phone” settings under personal
-disable 1 of 3 “repllog.exe” that has to do with update after time change with “TaskMgr.exe – by FdcSoft” under notifications
-change registry value of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\KeepAlive to 0 (this will not stick after reset unless you've first disabled the auto timezone/clock updates)
-reset phone
-re-enable auto time zone/clock updates (not sure if it still work though without ActiveSync)
-it will work without disabling the notification in TaskMgr too but then you have to leave auto timezone/clock changes unticked and you still have to do the registry change; ticking of auto timezone/clock changes without TaskMgr change to repllog.exe will also re-enable the keepAlive registry value

I did not reset my device. I installed the cab, configured the options and then must reset the device a few times for other reasons. Not doubting the efficacy of the fix, I never tested how well the cab actually works. I then realized (after quite a bit if sweat), that it was this cab, which screwed of the vibration on display keyboard. So I uninstalled it.
Now I am hunting to get the email LED notification out. I did find those registry tweaks and applied them. Infact, as I write, the check box for led is off for email.

Does anyone know of any registry tweaks to disable the flashing red LED notification for low battery in Touch Pro2? I tried to disable it through the "Low battery warning" flash option in Sounds and Notifications menu of wm6, but that does not work. If you want to know how to enable "Low battery warning" in Sounds and Notifications menu, here are the instructions:
1. Search for the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\.
2. Create a new String value, name it Default and set its value to Low battery warning.
3. Now move to Start -> Settings -> Personal tab -> Sounds & Notifications applet -> Notifications tab, choose Low battery warning value from the Select an event drop-down menu and set whatever you want.

I can't seem to get any of my sound/display settings to stick. Even after selecting a ringtone, and hitting OK, going back into the selection just resets to the default AT&T sound :/ I'm using Launcher Pro as my "home screen" and I have rooted the phone. Anyone know how to remedy this situation?
ur ringtone settins.. Are you trying to apply them to google contacts or contacts that are physically on your phone? Also tell us what display changes you are trying to make and exactly the steps you are taking so we can try to replicate this experience at home and advise you better.
settings -> sound and display -> voice call ringtone -> (select different ringtone) -> OK -> home.
It refuses to change to anything but the default AT&T one. It plays all of the other tones, as a preview, but will not stay changed to it.
so lets say you pick bird loop, select ok, and then click voice call ringtone again, the little dot is back next to the att default ringtone?
