Change sound & notifications - General Questions and Answers

I've been trying to cook WM6.5 for my LOVE.
After all that initial troubles and stuff, finaly got my kitchen working fine with it.
But i have a bug that i'm still finding out where does it came from.
Hoping that someone had this problem also:
When i go to phone settings and change the ringtone or the keypad sounds, and then i do ok to leave the settings, it doesn't exit.
Other thing that happens is when i go to sounds & nottifications and change some tones, if i do OK, all the tones settings revert back to it's default and it doesn't exit.
Anyone had this problem?
Thank you
Cheers

To my knowledge, this bug is pretty much a given in WM6.5... depending on the device you use of course..
I had the same thing on the my diamond, and my polaris.
Can't tell you why this happens, and of course, i might be wrong about the given part.. but it's unlikely that it's just a "bug" if it's happened so many times before.

I've resolved the issue, changing some things in my OEM folder.
But at the end i can't figure out what was the problem. But all ended well...
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Reminder not stoppable

Hello @ all,
I have often problems with reminders, too, as posted by others before. When phone is resetted, the reminders drive me to hell. I tried check notification, but I am not able to get this again workin normal...
Check notification seems not to work properly, or probably I am doing something wrong... When I hit in the options delete duplicate reminders, nothing happens. When I then hit "clear", all my reminders are deleted...
But now, I have another issue: Reminders are not stoppable because there does not appear the info where i can dismiss it...
It's very poor for MS, that this problem exists since OS 2003 and seems to be still in WM6...
Hope that someon has some hitns for me...
the best solution is memmaid (www.dinarsoft.com), but it's not free
Hi zoki!
Thanks for your answer. That too is new to me... I'll give it a try, there's a 15 das limited trial available...

I'll second Memmaid. This tool is great for cleaning stuff up (bad notifications, bad links, etc).
I installed it and had a look on it...
In the notification queue I see hundreds of reminders. Its OK, I am using my calendar very intensive...
So, I searched for duplicated items (is that really the problem for my issue?!). Found two, deleted them, restarted my nice phone, and again: my phone reminds me for i dont know, 5 to 10 notifications at one time. sounds nice, when two rings are ringing at one time but it nerves...
what can I do to solve my probelm with this tool?!
so, I have many items there:
calendar.exe
clock.exe (more than three!). I think that there's the problem?! I would say only three should be there...?!
for following items i have no clue what they are,...
tmail.exe
calupd.exe
sqmevent.exe
enrollnot.exe
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\SCRIPT:0x0
clocknot.exe
repllog.exe
calnot.exe
Reminders problem
OK, I don't use reminders, but try this: Turn off notifications before resetting your device. I don't remember if there is a setting in the calendar program for this, as I use pocket informant, but probably there is. Then, after resetting, turn them back on. This might at least stop it reminding you about past events. If this doesn't work, you can try turning them off in the "Sounds and Notifications" program in the Settings folder. Then turn them back on after resetting.
Good luck,
I don't think this will solve dbsoundz's problems. I had the same thing yesterday morning, my alarm woke me up on the normal programmed time, but there's no button to dismiss it. Even switching of the alarm doesn't work, it keeps up going. Only by hard-reset I was able to solve this.
Thanks for discussion...
what have I done: I deleted all the items with "clock.exe". After that, my phone was not again ringing wild on phone startup . So far so good.
But:
the problem with the missing notification of reminders still exists
hm... it still rings once on startup. but the ringtone is another then edited in the sound settings under "reminders"... but thank god, no ringing orchestra any more... and still w/o "dismiss"-notification
It sounds to me like a time zone problem! Try going to a different time zone let it chnage and then wait a couple of secs and chnage back!
Hi funman,
thanks for your reply.
I tried your suggestion. but it didn't help. Same problems as before. I was also sceptical about that, because I don't think that there's the problem. As described, the phone makes still a ring orchestra at start up and the reminders are totally different from settings in the sounds/notification settings... very strange. And there's still no notification baloon where I could "dismiss" it...

Why do WM6 ROM's revert to 24 hour time?

Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it? I've tried just about every ROM on here and it happens with all of them... All you cookers out there are doing awesome work, but I was curious whether anyone else had this problem. I can't tell if an application is causing it, I don't think that's the case. Even when I set regional settings to US it still happens after a day or so and once it does it won't return to 12 hour time. Any ideas?
fix the registry before you flash it and it won't

Crossbow Reloaded is set to h:mm:ss so its not military time by default. I think some are that way since the default base roms seem that way. I modified the faria base so the region was US and not military time by default.
Is there a list of all known registry tweaks (preferably with ones that work with WM6) somewhere that I've missed? Is this issue only fixable by changing this registry setting prior to a flash or can it be done after the fact? Thanks for all your help.
I'm not sure what you are asking... If you are on a ROM that defaults to military time, then just change it to h:mm:ss via Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time. In the drop down for the time format on the right side of the dropdown there are arrows. click the up arrow a couple of times and you will see the non-24 hour ones. Choose it and you are done. I've never seen it switch back after doing this on any WM6 rom, so no registry hacks are needed.
i use the following keys with my kitchen. I believe mun's latest rom is set to US 12hour by default but i'm not sure since i use these to force it
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"IDate"="0"
"SDate"="/"
"SSDte"="MM/dd/yy"
"STFmt"="h:mm:ss:tt"
"STime"=":"
mfrazz nailed it. I wasn't aware of the other settings in the drop down menu. When I'd click on it it'd only show 2 options, it never occured to me to try scrolling through. Duhh... Only had my Wizard for a month now, came from modding Moto's so still getting familiar with the Windows Mobile OS. Should have known it was something so blatently obvious, thanks a lot everyone. Much appreciation and respect.

vibrating keypad wm6?

I saw this registry tweak:
http://www.mdatweak.com/tweak_detail.php?tweak=14
that adds vibration to buttons of the dial pad
However I tried it in WM6 and it doesn;t work anymore. Does anybody know how to get it working in WM6?
I used the attached cab and got it working in WM6.
It looks like it makes the same changes as on that website, only automatically.
One thing I noticed, which might help or might not, was that it didn't seem to vibrate when I had "Keypad" under Phone Settings set to "Off".
Try setting it to "Short tones" and see if it works.
Oh, and you've reset your phone after making the registry tweaks, right?
yep, that was it. my device (htc herald wm6) was set to no sounds.
I found that it does not always vibrate. Sort of as if the vibrate motor has to start up. It worked best if the settings were set to long tones.
But I'm not using it anymore. in practice it is not as handy as I though it would be
vibrating keypad
hi guys. i downloaded the above attached file to my tytn 11 (orange). i find it does not work well (due to the time lag in the vibrating winding-up process) - and wish to delete it (it is actually quite annoying) and regain the normal keypad tone. i have gone into 'settings' 'remove programmes' and see no item listed. I have gone into 'file explorer' and delete the file name - to no effect. have i done the wrong thing? can anyone help me, please?
First of all...
This is wizard forum not herald....
Then use this...
attached let me know if this works...
+ Que PPC. thanks. have tried your solution (and then done a soft reset). unfortunately it has not worked! could you please consider another solution...?
noup really no...
I dont have other this works forme on Hermes and in wizard the truckQteka makes the dids! but i dont find it anymore. sorry men ask on Kaiser forum

Ring & vibrate will not stay set

I am wondering if anyone knows how i can get my vibrate-ring to stay set that way, i can set it taht way but it always go's back after a few calls or resetting my device. i searched but could not find the answer i would appriciate any help. thanks
its a known bug for CDMA/Sprint... my friends Tmobile TP2 don't have this issue
I contacted HTC about it. They said:
We are currently aware of this issue and will be addressing it in the next firmware update. Please keep an eye out at www.htc.com/us under the Support Tab. Pick your device from the dropdown. When software updates are available they will be posted there.
So, it's not a big deal for me & will be gone when we get WM 6.5.
ok, well thanks for that info, atleast i know its not just my tp2..
I was having the same issue and found this fix over at PPCG, haven't had a call yet to test it but from what I gather it works.
EDIT: works fine for me.

This was a huge irritation for me. THANKS for posting the fix!
yeah, seems to happen if you put it on ring and vibrate, then later turn your volume down to vibrate only and then turn your volume back up. it will then be Only set to Ring. Doesn't seem to affect text messages though. I will check out this fix and see if it works but above is how you reproduce. Set it to ring and vib, then go adjust volume to vib, then back up and then go back in and see what it is set as.
Works great! thanks!
thanks for the quick fix find, lwrdrchvy2.
Ring Vibe Fix Doesnt Work on WM 6.5 Sprint ROM
I have the same issue. My HTC Touch Pro 2 with Official 6.5 ROM will not stay on VIB for ringtones and will not VIB for SMS. I can 'check' them and then I can go back into settings and they are unchecked! This 'fix' is not working for me although it DID work for WM 6.1 on the same phone. Any help? Please! I need VIB & RING for calls and SMS!
Thanks!

Chaohliu, I see this but I'm unclear what it does?
Bengermino, did you load the cab before trying to set it in WM6.5 with the new ROM functionality? That is the impression I got when reading your post. I apologize for being 'mr obvious' but I haven't experienced this issue [with "notify me...." checked] since I flashed WM6.5 onto mine. If my impression is right, then try the following steps. If I'm wrong, don't waste time reading further down this post.
Settings
Menu
All Settings
Sounds and Notifications
Notifications
Select event I selected Messaging: New MMS, and the following steps are related to that choice.
Check 'Play Sound'
Check 'Vibrate'
Click OK in top right corner.
Good luck with resolving this!
once you uncheck that box, it seems to make ring and vibrate stick. i wouldnt bother with the cabs and stuff when this is the most effective solution. not sure why that is, but ive done it many times and it works.

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.
I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.
yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.
Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!
I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.
If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!
I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!
I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
