HELP!! HTC Wizzard!! Tmobile MDA!! DELETE FiLES

Hello.
I need help. My phone is unlocked and prepaid[cingular] so it always makes this noise when i send a message or recieve a message despite the fact that all sounds to the phone are silenced. I tried to silence all notifications and yet it still made the noise. I want to delete the tone all together and maybe put a blank file there that makes no noise. I found the tone its called notify and I tried to erase it but its locked aka the delete button is greyed out. I tried to install a windows unlocker on my phone but a pop up kept comming up saying that the file is not valid/permitted and it could not be downloaded[windows wouldn't allow it]. If you have any methods or solutions for me to solve this problem respond ASAP!!!
Thank yOU!!

Have you tried going to Start->Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications, clicking on the Notifications tab and changing your preferences there?

Listen carefully!!!

I have change this notify.wma file to the one that has the diamond and it works....
First make a sound in wma yours or a blank noised ok?
Then sync your mda to activesync full sync (I mean say yes to all the windows of outlook, uncheck all options of sinced files, contacts, favorites etc etc) to make an association.
Open in activesync "explore" then open the windows folder and drag your file notify to overwrite the other one default file, it works! jeje.
Im from mexico and the noise makes me get mad.
Good luck!

whoa there gunslinger, how mad does it make you? (lol)

You can remove the setting for sending and reciving mesages with snaps advance configutation or SK Tools

SMS Timestamp

Hey there you guys. I was wondering if any could possibly help me out here. Here's my problem. I just recently purchased my HTC TP and have come to realize that everytime I recieve a text message, the timestamp on it is 7 hours ahead of the actual time. Sending texts is fine and the time on it is correct, it's just when I recieve them it's wrong. I purchased my TP 2nd hand form a guy off craigslist and he had already unlocked and flashed it, and over the past couple days I've just updated it to a newer XBmod, but this issue had alraedy existed before I had done so. I've tried looking online and have failed to come up with a solution. So yeah, if you guys have a possible solution for this issue it'd be great! Much thanks.

I also have the same problem on my Touch HD. I remember this being solveable by editing or creating a DWORD value in the registry. I would wait for someone who actually knows what they're doing first though.

Guys, assume you have your proper location set in the regional settings and not some other country?

Yes I'm in GMT+2 (+3 in summer like now) I get it off by hours AND minutes.

all my settings are correct.

I have a cab for df timefix somewhere, i will fish it out and post it when i get back home.

Updating HTC Arrive to Mango beta

How many people have done it? I'm doing it right now. Step 2 of 9 for the actual beta update...my goodness..it takes a while but it should be worth it.
I'm doing it the way that doesn't require a dev unlocked phone or dev account btw.

Damn that texting bug!! It's still there (kinda). You can keep on typing after 160 characters..just can't send anything.

Hi, how do you get the mango realse?
Hi know that comes out to all developrs on market place, butt i see that you get it in other way...
Can you tell me how you get? E really want to put mango in my htc 7 pro.
Thanks

Yeah for real right? I hope it's fixed by the time Mango goes gold

Update went off without a hitch on two Arrives. Developer unlocked them and then ran that provision.exe file to backup/flip the switch to flag the update to come down.

I think the texting thing is a sprint ROM issue. So yeah, I don't think a fix will come until the Sprint Mango update is released.

Trying this on my HTC Arrive right now.
The final 7661 build is installing now!
I will update you guys when complete, if all goes well...
Alex
EDIT: Successful, sweet!

Mine works great non unlocked method
Sent from my arrive using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Update OK but
Update was OK, but I am seeing some issues, I am not sure if they are on all Mango phones.
a.) Screen does not go black (off) when taking a call. Thi is bad, because your ear is pressing buttons on the screen, mainly Hold
b.) custom ringtones work now, but they are still low in volume
c.) battery life, not as good as before Mango
d.) proboems with downloading email atatchements (does not work most of the time)
still missing some stuff:
a.) interface to configure phone network settings like, time before switching to voice box,...
b.) send a full contact to another phone
any other know issues or new features detected ?

I did see something I'd not seen before in email:
"This type of message is not supported by current version of Windows Phone."
As far as I can tell it's just a normal e-mail oddly enough, though I think it was digitally signed. I downloaded a picture attachment just fine though, maybe it's the type?

The no unlock process is on windowsphonehacker dot com Follow the directions. You actually update the phone 2 times. After the first time it says there is another update. The 2nd one is Mango. Literally takes an hour.
I'm using it on a HTC Arrive right now. No crashing or weird stuff for me yet.

done it yesterday, it took me about two hours, no problem
I am missing:
Czech QWERTY keyboard
different notifications for sms and IM (I don't want the phone to vibrate for every IM message, but it would be nice to vibrate when stand-by mode)

already put mango in my htc 7 pro and it is amazing, very fast, good performance and a lot of new things.
I like it very much, and the performance of the IE9 is amazing, very fast load the pages. i think is the best improvement in mango. The IE9 is the best browser i try until today.
i have no problem with the SMS about the number of character, until now everything i use must is running perfect.
think the wp7 is getting better and better.

Just gave Mango a shot on my Arrive. So far everything is working after a little setup and it all works flawelessly. Love it so far.

I have Czech too, but it is QWERTZ not QWERTY, and no option to change it, also when I pop out the HW keyboard the layout changes back to ENG - therefore preventing me from typing characters like čřžšě. Anyone else has problem with this??
Will try the different statuses behavior, but what I meant was: when you chat with someone and you are on the messaging screen it is not necessary to notify every message because you see what is happening.

Updated using non-dev process. Took 2 hours but works flawlessly. Posting from my Sprint HTC Arrive while eating phad tai...so spicy.

Any concerns by anyone that the unlock process (which I haven't read the steps yet) will lock you out of future updates in the same way that the previous WP7 unlocks did?
I've got a Dev account (a couple of free apps in the marketplace), but that's limited to three phones and I've got 5 phones at home.....want to upgrade everyone.

You mean looking before you leap? Thats crazy! Come on in, the waters fine. Maybe you remember that old tale from "Scary stories to tell in the dark" - Room for One More...muahahaha

If you're worried- september 22nd is the Mango drop date on the street. I'm sure we will see something non-beta around here shortly before that.
There is a process on windowsphonehacker to go back to NoDo.

[SMS INCREASE] REMOVE the 160+ SMS Limit on WP7 for HTC Arrive GOLD_C

THIS METHOD IS DEPENDANT OF THE TOWERS NEAR YOU. PLEASE READ THE END OF THIS POST TO SEE A QUOTE FROM LEADPOIZON ABOUT THIS.​
Alright, after searching time and time again. Trying time and time again... And Failing time and time again... (jejeje) I was finally successful at sending multiple messages through the HTC Arrive... I feel so stupid for not trying this as one of the first things but hey... You gotta deal with your own stupidity at times ... jejeje.
Anyway, what you guys have been waiting for...​
HOW TO REMOVE THE 160 CHARACTER SMS LIMIT ON WP7
(I can only try this on the HTC Arrive as I do NOT have any other WP7 device)​
I HAVE TESTED THIS ON ANSAR's CUSTOM ROM'S (16.04 TANGO V1 8773) DFT's CUSTOM ROM (Freedom V1) LEADPOIZONS ROMS (ALREADY INCLUDED IN SETTINGS ON BOTH 7.5 AND 7.8 ROMS) SIANTOS ROM (WP7.8 ALL)
BUT AS OF NOW, ITS DEPENDANT ON THE COMMUNICATION TOWERS NEAR YOU​
Use the included REGISTRY EDITOR on EITHER ROM's to edit entree:​
1.) Go to HKLM\Comm\Cellular\SMS\Router\CDMA and change the Contantenation entry from a 0 to a 1​
2.)Select the EXIT from the Registry Editor
3.) Go to your text messages and try to send a 161+ character text message to YOURSELF
DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION, YOU MAY RECEIVE THE MULTIPLE MESSAGE... IF YOU DONT, CONTINUE TO HOPEFULLY TROUBLESHOOT​
4.) REBOOT YOUR PHONE!!!
5.) Once your phone is back up, go back to the text hub and click on RETRY SEND to send the text message.​(This message will leave this time with no response from the Messaging App.)
***WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE MESSAGE, IF YOU DONT RECEIVE THEN FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP***​
6.) Go back to your text hub and TYPE A NEW 161+ character message and try to send yourself again. This time you should receive 2+ messages after going through the network.​
You can combine this tweak with my unlimited MMS size tweak and you are good to go!!! You can now have unlimited SMS characters and MMS size... jejeje
(For the MMS post, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606865 )​
THERE YOU GO... 160+SMS MESSAGE IS POSSIBLE THROUGH WP7... HTC ARRIVE... THANKS GO OUT TO ANSAR AND DFT FOR THE ROMS AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO LEADPOIZON FOR ALL THE HELP.
`-`-`-`-`-`UPDATE REGARDING THE COMM TOWERS, IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE READ`-`-`-`-`-`​
SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT SUCCESS STORIES/FAILURES WITH THIS TWEAK WE HAVE BEEN PURSUING A "GLOBAL" FIX... JEJEJE. AFTER MUCH TESTING, LEADPOIZON CAME UP WITH WHAT WE THINK MAY BE FINAL RESULTS... ​
leadpoizon said:
MY FINAL RESULTS:
This method is dependent on the towers near you, because of the following*:
Some Mobile Phone Operating Systems are designed to split up texts whens they are sent over the 160 character limit before they are sent to the network (even dumb phones can do this). Windows Phone does not seem to have this capability, it sends your message in its' entirety to the network and hopes that the network can sort it out into split texts. The problem is, not all Sprint towers seem to support this. For that reason, Sprint completely disabled the option to send a text over 160 characters.
When you know this method will work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will give you an error either instantly or in a few minutes.
4. Reboot, if you want (just to be sure.). Then, resend the same text.
5. It will send without errors and you should receive the content back in more than one text. Done.
When you know this method will NOT work**:
1. Make the registry Edit (Reboots is not really needed, WP dynamically monitors the registry, it seems.)
2. Send yourself a text over the 160 characters. (It should allow you to after the registry edit.)
3. The text will not give you an error. After a LONG time (an hour or so, you will get the error.)
4. During the time between you sending the text and receiving the error, your MMS and SMS will be broken and you most likely will not receive or be able to send texts.
5. Reboot your phone and things should be back to normal. Change the registry back to default value to avoid making an accidental text over 160 characters. Go yell at MS and Sprint.
* Only speculation after my trials
** YMMV

I've tried this registry key before without success, but I tried your directions anyway. I'm running the DFT Freedom ROM, but I never get the first "can't send" message. After rebooting, I can send texts like normal until I try to send one that is 161+ characters long. Then all messages fail to send, regardless of length until I reboot again. There has to be some other setting or registry key change that you have which, in combination with he CDMAConcatenation entry, allows it to work on your handset. I believe you did it, we just need to figure out what the magic combination is!

I would agree with you except that I have reset the phone (Even FULL FACTORY RESET WITH ANSAR's)... Flashed to DFT and tried it, then flashed back into ANSAR's rom and tried it again... It worked when I did exactly the top... For some reason... I litteraly made this the ONLY edit on those ROM's to ensure it worked... and it did...
EDIT 1: And you did follow to the letter correct? No other texts until the process was done? I am currently downloading a STOCK ROM... I will flash to it and try, then I will flash back and report my findings... Again, as of now, I have been able to follow the directions I have posted and been successful 100% of the times...

I can't follow to the letter because I never get the "can't send" message. Otherwise, yes, I've followed the instructions exactly. No other texts incoming or outgoing besides the ones in your instructions.
I wonder if it's dependent on a setting at the tower or on the account within Sprint's systems that allows this?

I was thinking thesame thing... to an extent... You know how Microsoft was resetting devices as they were being unlocked? That is, once you synched with their server, your unlock would be gone...
When I first tried this it did not work... I gave up that day and came back to it yesterday... I have to say that the tweak was in my system for at least 24hrs... maybe there is something that has now bypassed this on MY particular account? I dont know...
Also: I just flashed a stock (Well not unlocked/tweaked/or anything) ROM and did a full factory reset, then I updated my PROFILE and PRL just to make sure that no settings were left on the phone from the previous flash. I then proceeded to flash the DFT ROM and all I had to do was the registry edit, when I went to the messaging... I sent the 161+ sms...
I dont know... Id have to say something flicked the switch... on one side or the other... Would you mind checking tomorrow throughout the day to see if this may be the issue...
If this is the issue, it makes sense why nobody had found it yet, they did the edit and did not let it get "registered" in their phone??? jejeje... Too many questions... jejeje

Interesting theory. I'll keep the setting on and try again tomorrow to see if there is any change. Thanks for the help!

Worked on my Ansar 8773 V1 install! Thanks! Only complaint I had with this phone up to now.

Thanks Man. It worked for me without rebooting on dft. I made the change, and tried to send a 161 test to myself. It sent fine with no error and I received both texts within a minute. Thanks!

Awesome work! Now to release a ROM.

Cant wait to see what you bring to the table man! Thanks again.

I'm using the Ansar v1 rom and this reg edit doesn't work for me. Does it depend on area? I'm in the north jersey. When I try to send a message to myself longer than 160+ characters, I either get no reply whatsoever or I get the following error "can't send message Try again".
Any suggestions? I tried rebooting.. updating prl.. updating network profile.. doesn't work for me.

when u get this msg...
1.) REBOOT the phone.
2.) Go back to sms and click retry... it should go but no response for a while...
3.) type new 161+ sms and send to yourself again.
Let me know.
EDIT: And I know you probably have tried this but just give it a shot again... Also, go back to the registry and re-edit the string, save again and click MENU then EXIT to leave the application. REBOOT and try to re-send

Time to find out why... Did you have to do that procedure after you reset the device to factory settings, or did you just do the registry change and that was it?

Just went to the REGISTRY and changed it... That was it. Didnt have to do the procedure after the first couple of times that I tried it...

I dont know if that is the difference in my success since I flash the ROM squeaky clean and do the edit from the beginning (since I have been testing didnt want something else to mess with this...)
Dont know what is the issue... Some people have reported to be working fine, others are having issues... hmmm... dunno what to say at this time...

I'm pulling my hair out with these custom rings please help

I have a Samsung Exhibit 2 that I just rooted. The main issue that I keep having and had before I rooted is with the custom ringtones. Before I rooted I tried everything I could to get them to stay, but every time someone would call who I designated a custom ring, the default ring would play. This happens about 50/50. I could not figure out why the phone was randomly getting confused about which ring to play. I've used the zedge app because people said it would create the right folders to put them in and it didn't work. I've used ringdroid and a few others. I have moved the actual files around to different folders on the phone using astro and even changed/created folders thinking that would fix it. Nothing has worked. It may work for a few hours or a day or so, but eventually it still reverts back to the default tone sporadically.
Here's where I'm at now. I just rooted the phone because I read that the reason why I was having trouble is because when the tones are on the sd card the phone sometimes loses them and goes into the internal memory to get the default. Which by the way that last statement is weird because even when it went to the default, I had a mp3 for it as well and it was not on the internal, but oh well. So I rooted and moved the ringtones to the system/media/ringtones folder I believe. Well as you can tell, it worked for most of the day yesterday. Now this morning someone called and boom, default ringtone again. I know that this is something that seems insignificant, but it's driving me crazy. I love to be able to hear the phone and know who's calling without looking at it. I've looked at about a dozen forums and tried everything and no luck. If anyone has any suggestions I'd much appreciate it.

So nearly a week later it's still an issue. Does anybody have any advice? It still seems very random on when it wants to work or not. Thanks.

So you installed a custom rom, put them on the interal memory ringtones folder and that STILL didn't work?
That's bizarre man...
You probably already tried this, but did you try putting them in /sd/media/ringtones or /sd/ringtones? That's where I have mine with no issues on any phones I've had.

Yeah I was so excited cause I thought rooting would be the solution. Before I rooted I moved them to both of the places you mentioned. I've allowed zedge to set the ringtones and it didn't work. I think I tried another app that created a new ringtones folder, but that didn't work either. I have no clue what the problem is, but I've pretty much given up and decided to live with the randomness for now. I mean I don't see any other solutions. How the phone can get confused about which ringtone to play when I've moved it to the actual /system ringtones folder inside the phone memory is beyond me. It doesn't even have to access the sd card or do a media scan. Oh well.
