- Is there a way of changing the sound that the phone makes when it locks and unlocks ? What audio files does it use and where can you find it, the format and what not?
Thanks
Maybe I'll post my question along with yours ...
I would like to know if it's possible to change the key strokes sound. I think it sounds very "heavy" and not very elegant. On the iphone sounds much better (I think). On the iphone it's more "tick" while on WP7 it sounds more like a "tock"

maybe can't .you should wait ms update wp7 this function，ha
Most of the phone sound could be altered by registry tweaks.
However this one has not been discovered yet.
Unfortunately Mango update will not allow applications that change the registry.
Is there a way of changing the sound that the phone makes when it locks and unlocks ?

hi, im asking about the sms sent notification, i like it turned on but i dont like the beeping sound when the notification comes is there a way i can turn it off? the notification sound not the notification.
thanks
Go to settings---> Sounds and notifications. You can adjust whether you want sound or not for a specfic notification by ticking or unticking the box in front.
doesn't bother me but i think the OP is looking to turn off the sound when an SMS is successfully sent and not the one for delivery success. That is one of the few, if not the only, sound that can't be turned off. Don't know if there is a registry entry for it.
Advanced Config will disable the notification. But I think it is an all or nothing proposition. Sound and Visual or nothing at all
I actually tried to look for a solution to this thing a while ago.. and everyone told me it's both or none at all.
ive tried many methods but i havnt succeeded , althought im pretty darn sure that u can turn it off, when i flashed a rom onto my touch that rom had a advanced config that could get rid of it
so with the factory rom...I wont be able to turn the notification off? If so, where do I find this advanced configuration?
do a search for Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. Install that and "have fun".

Drives me crazy that microsoft wouldent think to program the lock to automatically come on when put into standby ?
who wants to click start then lock everytime they set there phone down doesnt make any sense i am here to try and find i solution with some help ?
i noticed that if you put a password the lock works perfectly so my idea is to find a way or someone tell me a way to set my phone up with a password then erase that password so it simply does not ask for it after i slide to unlock ?
any ideas.
I prefer TouchLockPro.

You can also program the END key such that a long press will lock the phone. To do so, go into all settings, personal folder, buttons and the long press tab.

Earlier this week, I received a HD7S on non-Mango to replace my Blackberry Torch.
While I like the bigger, better screen of the HD7S and the variety of WP apps (compared to RIM's selection at least), I am not sure, if the WP7 is really suitable for me (yet).
My intention is to use that phone mainly for business purposes.
Perhaps, someone can give me some input on the following items:
How to enable LED notification (email received, etc.)
How to access certain functions quickly rather than having to unlock the phone, finding the setting, etc etc etc (example: mute/unmute, change phone to silent, etc.)
How to increase time-out past 5 minutes max (very cumbersome/dangerous when on call in the car and having to mute/unmute)
Can I setup custom tiles (to bundle certain apps into one tile)?
How to customize notifications per email account (individual ring tone and vibrate)
How to reassign buttons to other functions
Please, I am not a Blackberry fan boy but I really want to like WP7 as I, frankly, have no other choice as this phone has been given to me by my employer.
Any input will be highly appreciated.
BTW: I have tried that force-Mango update for hours and countless times without any luck yet; maybe some of the points above will remedy with Mango?
Thank you!

1. I'm not sure about the HD7S, but the Samsung Focus doesn't have a LED. If the HD7S does, it might be hackable but I can't provide any information about that.
2. There currently isn't any way to change your phone to silent silent, but you can use the volume down button to change your phone to vibrate. I'm also not sure what "other" settings you are talking about.
3. I assume you're talking about the screen, there is probably a registry hack somewhere. A quick search came up with this.
4. I remember reading somewhere about folders, but I can't seem to find it at this moment. I'm also not sure if it would bundle all the live tiles into one.
5. Also not possible on the Focus as of right now.
Sorry I couldn't be much of help, I hope this steers you in the right direction and I hope you fall in love with your new Windows Phone!

There is a LED, which turns red once the battery needs to be charged. I would assume that this LED could be used for other purposes?

I thought that the volume buttons might be an alternative to switch to silent but was hoping for a quicker way.

Thanks again - definitely a starting point. The phone is much more fun than the BB; hopefully Mango or future releases will make it more practical for business purposes as well.

My HTC Mozart has a green/red LED, and with Mango it flashes green when you have a missed call or SMS message. As far as I know it doesn't work with other alerts such as toasts; definietly doesn't do anything for new emails.
Microsoft are taking feature requests online, so you can vote for this feature here:

You can pin the settings tile to the homescreen. Mute can be toggled by pressing either volume rocker, then in the top menu touch the corner that says "ring and vibrate". It'll then become "vibrate" and the icon will change, indicating the phone is on silent.

Which buttons do you mean? If you mean hardware, then sorry no possible to customise them.
Thank you very much for the infos!
Which registry editor is recommended for Mango on a HD7S?
Can I disable in any way middle button (home/window/start) on my device? Is there any registry value to disable this button? Or maybe some hack? I have LG E900 with installed MFG app. In this app I can see that it can test use of hardware buttons, so probably it's possible to block this middle button in some way.
I'd need to decompile and examine the MFG app, but yes, it's probably possible.
Out of curiosity, why that key in particular? Usually, people are complaining about Search (or sometimes Back) much more.
I wan to create application that user cannot leave. I already found that I can disable Search button. Back button is no problem, because WP7 SDK support cancelling using it.
Don't forget to also block camera, volume, long-press on Back (which the SDK does not officially let you block), and power...
No offense, but if you can't come up with a better use case than that, it's going to be really low on my priority list. I've currently got (not really in order):
Re-implement SetKMode for HaRET.
Fix HtcRoot on multi-threaded apps.
Enable full-unlock on stock ROMs with HtcRoot.
Enable custom policies with HtcRoot.
Explore the AppMgr databases, see what I can learn and what I can tweak.
Find an interop-unlock that works on gen2 HTC (and hopefully others).
Find a way to use HtcUtility (a working version, for HtcRoot) on up-to-date stock ROMs.
Explore modifying ROM files using HtcRoot.
Release the next version of Root Webserver.
Update my MultiTaskToggle app.
Polish up and release my AppDataBackup app (and PC utility).
Release XapInstaller app for stock ROMs (HtcRoot).
Figure out what the hell is going on with DllImport (P/Invoke - some marketplace apps can use it?!?).
... I'm honestly losing track. I know there's more. Some are small and silly, some are huge and will take months.

you can't disable middle button (home/window/start) but you can turn off vibrate with Registry code :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\KeyState]
"application_btn_vibrate3"=dword:1

Hello,
I have tried every option to show the Notifications on the LockScreen either with Details or only the icon with no success!!!!!
Is it designed that way? I didn't think so but this is what I am finding out
One more thing,
When I pause the song/podcast via my Wireless headphones, I need to unlock the device so the audio will continue after i press play?
Is it the same issue? that once the screen is locked the device basically is cut off?

Hmm kinda weird what music player are you using that it won't show on your lockscreen for me Spotify works fine on my lockscreen.
I use Podcasts Addict and Spotify as well,
But both of them and ALL ALL other applications are not showing.
PS: I noticed that the Screen Lights up when I receive anything but it doesn't show up;
I need to Unlock the device to see from which application and what the details of it.

Thanks for the quick reply,
It seems that my settings page is different from yours;
I don't have the "Advanced Settings" also Notifications on LockScreen is Already Enabled.
PS: I am on the Chinese Rom, Version 2.45.

Since I got it, it's been the same as this; a VERY BAD experience that I am having.
Otherwise, the device is great.
Unfortunately, i can't install the Global Version!

Looks like this time they locked people out of installing the global ROM.
Any One have an Idea About this? And I am the only one with Chinese ROM that facing this issue?
