Hi
So every time I power on my StarTrek there is this sound...its like a tune or something...I did not mind it at first till I was in class and decided to turn on my phone to check my TXT messages. It only happens when you Power on the device...any one have any idea on how to disable that sound ? or change it ?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\
There is a list of system sounds. In this list there is "Shutdown" maybe a good place to have a look. Have used this branch of the reg tree to alter all my system notifications to something nicer.
However my Qtek 8500 is running the 3125 Rom and its never made any startup or shutdown sounds.
Download and use Breaksofts Mobile Reg Editor, allows you to use the PC to edit the reg on the device, much easier than doing it on the device and its free !!!

Alternatively just leave the phone on but put it in Flight mode when in class !
Humm I will have to check that out ... I just got my phone and only used it for a few hours and went back to my 8125 (Wizard) perhaps its time to install total commander on here to do just that
I wonder if others who have the 3125 (phone from cingular as assposed to buying the 8500 and then putting the Cingualr Rom on it) have this experience
With a registy editor it is a simple registry fix to kill them.
Got to HKLM>software>HTC> you will see entries for both startup and shudown. Go to the WAV default entries and delete them (\windows\STARTUP_422.wav). Write in the word none in their place. Return to the home screen. Soft reset and you'll just hear silence on startup and shutdown.
HKLM>software>HTC> Branch is not in my reg tree nor is the STARTUP_422.wav anywhere in system.

Ok, I'm hoping someone may have some idea why this error is plaguing me.
After a hard-reset, the following behavior is observed on the T-mobile 3.14 rom.
1. Set Ringer (or leave at default) to anything.
2. Hit Ok.
3. Change volume to either Off or Vibrate.
4. Go back to phone options - ringer is now set to "BellDitty".
Odd thing is that when volume is restored, the phone doesn't play anything when an incomming call is received - not even the listed "BellDitty".
Anyone know what the problem is? How to work around it? Is the ringer just set in the registry? If it is, then it could just be a case of writing a program to restore the ringer ever 2 sec. or so.
Hope you guys can help - a phone that fails to ring is a misbehaving in my book.
Thanks.
Fixed!!!
After doing some hunting, here is what I found. If you guys have some spare time, try doing this to your phones and see if you have the same oddball results. From what I found:
When the Pocket PC is put into Mute, a key in the registry (HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0) named Sound is set to *none* or *vibrate* depending on what you mute to. There is another key in that branch named “SavedSound”, which has the ringer you setup in Phone options. Now, as long as you don’t go into Phone options and hit “Ok” while the phone is muted, the registry keys work just fine – as soon as you unmute, the value of “Sound” gets set to whatever “SavedSound” is. HOWEVER – if you do go into phone options and hit OK, it confuses PPC 2002. It writes the new sound to the “Sound” key, however it never cleans up after itself in the same way it would if you unmated. Now when you unmute, it looks to the Sound key to see if it says *none* or *vibrate* so it knows to re-enable the ringtone. When it finds the saved value from the phone applet (that you hit “OK” to) it assumes that the phone was unmuted, even though it wasn’t.

Well researched !
[ I've had this thought more often: do we have a Microsoft representative in the room here? If not, I guess we need to have some protocol for reporting issues from our collective brain back to the developers. (But ofcourse MS really needs to be here and read the forum if they're serious about making this a real phone.) ]
Hi...after updating to the new rom 20060426B1WWE, i installed O2 Plus thru O2 Connect and ever since i am having problems. like, when i reboot the phone, by default it powers on to Silent mode. and also, the device doesnt turn off when left unused (i.e., doesnt go to standby mode) even when it is set in the power settings.
anyone else facing these problems or any suggestions? i mainly use O2 Plus for the automatic profile support and the task manager features - any alternatives to these?
I had the same problem so when I went back to (ENG-20060123-45) teh problem is gone.
i had this too. Just use power button mate :lol:
I thihk this problem isn't depend from O2+
give us a list of all installed programs
Is there a registry tweak to allow the speakerphone to stay enabled when you close the flip? Currently it ends the call.
I believe the same thing happened with the old MPx220 and the MPx200 but nothing was ever figured out for these phones.
I would like to know this as well.
Bump - Speakerphone while lid closed...
Any news on this?
My Googling is telling me thus far - NO! NO! and NO!
Any Russian Gurus care to negate this?
speakerphone
Ok, I am trying to figure this out, here is what I have so far,
I have two 3125's, one was running an old dopod rom and the other the most recent Cingular release. (will get numbers later)
On the old phone, if I hit the "lock keys setting" (press and hold home button), while on a call with the speaker phone on, I can close the phone, the call continues and the outer display shows the call info (ie, who the call is to and connection time)
One the newer phone, with the same setting, the phone just hangs up when you close it.
I backed up the old phone with sprite backup, then ran sprite on the newer phone thinking maybe the registry setting would carry over (in case I was missing something), but the newer phone still just hung up when closed during a call.
After several rom changes I remembered why I quit using the old phone, the charging port came loose and does not work, so my guess would be that the old phone stays on due to the broken charging port, what leads me to this is of course if you have the headset in, the phone can be closed while on a call.
Where does that leave us? It would seem that the issue is not a registry value change (although I won't give up on trying to find one) but a software issue and until someone figures out how to change it were are stuck with no closed speaker phone.
Morning guys and girls
Does anyone know of a way to make a registry key read only on WM6?
The reason I ask is that I get my direct push email via my work exchange server, but the lovely admin has decided to set a 5 min lock out policy that HAS to be implemented on the phone to accept the emails.
Basically that means every 5 mins the phone locks up and requires a PIN to unlock it, very annoying to say the least (I know its a security feature, but when you quickly want to check your emails/calender, its just annoying )
So, after many hours of searching through the registry I've found the key that decides how long the "lockout" interval is:
HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\AE\{loadsofrandomnumbers}\AEFrequencyValue
Now this key is set to 5 as default (as its a 5min lockout rule) but when set to 999, I get 16.7 hours where I'm not bugged by lock outs. But back to my original question, the policy must "re-apply" its self every day as the offending reg key gets set back to 5 quite often. If I could make that reg key read only, then it wouldn't be able to change it back.
Thanks in advance guys!
Unlikely there is a way to make it read-only. Much realistic way to solve it is to
[1] hack the policy
[2] change the key just after is has been applied.
There is a home made software, RunEveryday (available in this forum) that runs your specific program everyday. If you were able to make a program or possibly CAB to change this, probably you can change it everyday.
Sorry to sound like a complete noob, but I'm attempting to write my first cab and have got this far...

I've got cabwizsp.exe, makecab.exe and cabwiz.ddf, dragging my above inf on to cabwizsp.exe creates me a cab, but the cab doesn't "successfully" install
I'm not too sure I've written my "AddRegistry" bit correctly if anyone would be so kind as to correct it?
Thanks
I would use SKschema and write a little script which just overwrites the reg key every couple of minutes. Or use the (free) MORTscript.
Wasn't there already a hack to disable this policy? I'm sure I've seen it, about 6 months ago.
Since the lock is activated immediately, rewriting the registry ever minute or so won't really help I guess. However, in other cases, I would suggest using the state and notification broker to monitor the registry keys, get notification of a change of state, and immediately overwrite it.

Hello!
I didn't find any solution in internets, so here I come:
About a week ago I've upgraded my Wizard from WM5 to WM6. It was a great idea, everything works fine & fast, but one problem appeared.
Some new bluetooth features appeared in WM6, among them some kind of virtual SD card, named "bluetooth". It has 0 MB and when I go there in explorer, phone starts searching for bluetooth devices.
images46 .fotosik .pl/257/b9c1ee898c55a5f1 .jpg
(please delete spaces before dots, as new user I can't insert links and images lol)
At first, there weren't any problems with that, but yesterday my phone has shut down (low battery), I've recharged it, turned on and then strange thing happened:
images48 .fotosik .pl/258/82c328305e924b67 .jpg
(please delete spaces before dots, as new user I can't insert links and images lol)
so it's like "cards" has changed their places. PDAstatus shows this strange "bluetooth" as my main SD card, just as camera and some other programs...
basic steps like turning bluetooth on/off doesn't work, just as soft reset and reinserting sd card.
Probably I need to change something in registry, but what and where?
any help would be appreciated.
regards
edit:
turning off bluetooth explorer worked, but i liked that feature. i would like to keep both "cards", with SD as "default", just as it was at the beginning.
