You need to install a program that can edit registry and do the following change:
Look up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change the InitVol value to 0

Thanks a lot for that bit of info... The beeping was beginning to annoy me aswell

brilliant,thank you!

Guess you have to choose the ARM version at the top in the drop down list.
Didn't get the desktop installer to work.
Copy the .cab over to your device and run it from there.
Well... why not just put it here.

Thanks.....

i downloaded the free trial of resco and that works great. i liked it so much i will buy it for sure. www.resco.net

After changing the value to "0" and pressing done, I exit the program and no longer have the beep when dialing. Once I shut down the phone and reboot, the beep starts up again. Is there a way to make it permanent?

It happened me too, permanent solution - I rewrited file callstart.wav in Windows folder in Audacity program and I used function - silence. It means now when I call my handy play only silence on call start

There is. 1. Use Total Commander (freeware) and copy the file Silent.prof.xml from the folder Application data\Profiles to the folder \Application data.
2. Then rename the copied file name to Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml, if wished, this is the buzzing profile).
3. Then move the new Normal.prof.xml (pr Meeting.prof.xml) back to the folder Application data\Profiles and overwrite old file.
4. After this you'll to have to reconfigure your settings in the normal (and meeting) profile but the beep at call start won't return even if device is restarted.
Got this solution from another S730 forum. Seems the Silent.prof.xml file is the only one in which the beep at call start is disabled.

it's quite a lot easier editing your profile xml file. change the value 'CallStart' to '0' and you're done.

Hey Admins,
perhaps you can make a sticky "Tweaks for HTC Wings" including this tweak.

I tried this to do with the built-in editor of total commander and I even tried downloading and uploading the file.
I haven't had any success. I changed the value to "0" and then I wasn't able to select that profile any more.
I had to start over with "use defaults", then I was able to select and configure that profile again.
What have I done wrong?

I was having the Same issue over here.
Now I solved it thanks to Radiax!
The solution is simple, change your profile again like you did last time, but after saving the file you have to navigate to Properties (File -> 0 More -> 4 Properties) and change the System value to +. Make sure to use the latest version (V2.5, released 24th of April) because this function doesn't work in previous versions.
Hope this'll work for you just like it did for me.

thats it!
Its necessary to set the system-bit!
Many thanks!

Nice! This indeed works a lot easier than the steps I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Latest Total CMD + System bit set
Hi all,
I tried to set my Wings like described above, but I cann´t use the profile anymore after changing something.
I´m doing this with TC 2.5 and the system bit is set.
Any ideas?
edit: in addition - i don´t have a folder profiles in appdata, the xml´s are in windows folder on my wings

Making permanent registry changes

Hi folks,
Is there a way to make permanent registry changes? I found the sound after pressing the dial button very annoying and tried to set initVol to 0 in the registry, but after a reboot the setting is back.
Same goes for some other settings in the telephone which I wanted to change permanently. Like, changing the default locations of the images being saved by the camera to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures instead of the DCIM directory. Is there a way to do this?
I noticed there are some OEM settings, but somehow the telephone denies those registry settings when I try to set them to new values. Write protected?
How could this be done?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The registry keys where the changes are not permanent is set to default at restart. The only way I know how to make these permanent is to alter the ROM before it is cooked and flashed...

Are you sure your tweeking the registry and not the profile?
Look up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change the InitVol value to 0 (I know you posted it but doesnt hurt to mention again.)
I have had this set on my phone for a while now without issue, and sticking after several reboots. Now of course if something else is bugging the phone it could be restoring the initial values, computers sometimes do this but usually require user input to do it...
Weird, what registry editor are you useing? Does it automatically restor a backup incase you mess something up?
I know sometimes when I have been changing things in my cars ECU it sometimes takes two or three times for the new coding to stick, might be something like that...

Had the same problem with the sound af call start and solved it like this:
1. Use Total Commander (freeware) and copy the file Silent.prof.xml from the folder Application data\Profiles to the folder \Application data.
2. Then rename the copied file to Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml, if wished, this is the buzzing profile).
3. Now move the new Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml) back to the folder Application data\Profiles and overwrite the old file.
4. After this you'll to have to reconfigure your settings in the normal (and/or meeting) profile but the sound at call start won't return, even if device is restarted. After a hard reset you'll have to repeat the above mentioned actions to get rid of the sound again.
Got this solution from another S730 forum. Seems the Silent.prof.xml file is the only profile in which the sound at call start is disabled.

Ehm, looks like a nice solution but trough both Active Sync as Total Commander I only find the Meeting.prof.xml file (even if I change my Profile to Silence or normal or whatever).

Could it be that you're using the desktop version of Total Commander? The link i used in my previous post contains a download of TC for windows smartphone. You'll have to install it on you device and work with your device. For some reason then you will be able to see the Silent.prof.xml and perform the steps in my previous post.

I just installed the Cab File which provided in your link.
It's a strange world .
Edit: Never Mind, got the Registry Fix Done, Thanks Anyway (I Love all those Registry Tweaks)

If you dont have "show hidden files and folders" enabled you might not be able to see them either, not sure but its also a possibility.

Perhaps a stupid question, but will the sound disappear in ALL the profiles using this technique? Or only in the new profile?
And is there also a way to disable the sound made at the end of a call?
Thanks for the solution!

I think the sound won't disappear from all the profiles. E.g. the outside profile can't be found even if you use TC on your device. Therefore you won't be able to overwrite that profile. I'm personally using the normal, buzzing and silent profiles most often so I can live with this solution. You might want to try and rename a copied Silent.prof.xml to Outside.prof.xml, move it to the original folder and see if anything happens. Never tried this.
Never been aware of a sound at hang-up, so don't know if it was there before I changed the profiles. In any case I'm not hearing any sound now.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

Seems like I totally scr*wed up my Meeting Profile.
At first i'd just try to edit the CallStart Value in the XML file from 2 to 0 and uploaded this via Active Sync My Documents. After that I remapped the File to Application Data/Profiles and Overwrite the Current Meeting Profile.
All worked Fine until I changed my Profile to Normal and back to Meeting. From now on I can't select or edit the Meeting profile. I've also tried to replace the Meeting profile with another profile using Meeting.prof.xml but without any result, Also tried to reset the profiles within the phone using Profile -> Menu -> Option 4 but still I can't do anything with my Meeting profile.
Does anyone has Any Idea?
Edit: A Couple of hours after the first apparence of this issue it resolved itself without a restart or any other handling, does anyone has any idea how I can change the CallStart value without disabling the Meeting Profile, I compared both Meeting and Silent and i'm 95% sure it must be this CallStart Value which has to be Changed.

Are you just trying to kill the sound on specific profiles or from the whole phone? Have you verefied that the registry edit will not stick for you?
From your issue it sounds like something was not put into the profile properly causing the issues, and window's found the problem and reset it to work again.

If I use the Registry Change I can do this everytime I change my Profile.
Using the XML file I was also trying to change the Vibration mode (I want to Combine Vibration and Sound but the Pulsating of a Text message has to be different from the Call Sound).
Does anyone has any idea about what's going to happen after you completely remove the CallStart Entry from your register? Doesn't this solve the problem or does this cause an error or something.

Several things could happen, its not a huge key so windows might just pass over it, however if the profiles are looking for it then you might run into some stability issues there. If you delete the key from profiles from looking for it in the registry as well then you might not have any problems.
Either way windows could either become unstable during calls or associated sounds, windows will restore the key, or nothing will happen.

I now also tried to edit the XML via Total Commander and saved it the Normal way, as Unicode and as Text, but all disables the use of the specified profile until a "reset to standard".
Anyone has any idea how to change XML profile files without making them incompatible.

I found the solution - just edit the properties of Normal.prof.xml and enable system flag (e.g. in Total Commander). That's all

I totally love you Radiax , you are my Hero for today .
First it wasn't possible cause I didn't catch Total Commander update of April 24th but now I've installed Total Commander 2.5 and it works flawless.
Damn I'm so darn Happy!
Let's create a new topic about possible Settings of the Script value . I can't manage to let my ringtone ring while my vibrator () is pulsing.

TEST: TomTom Navigator 7 and warning sounds for POI's

For anyone who has the Diamond and Navigator 7 running:
Try to set a POI warning with sound notification (e.g. for speed cameras) with sound "Beep 5" (the sirene) and save the setting.
Exit TomTom
Start TomTom and go to the same POI warning now. Is the sound setting still "Beep 5"? Mine doesn't save the setting when TomTom got closed and always returns to "Bell 1".
It DOES stay on "Polite 1" to "Polite 3" though.......
Just want to see if it is me here or not...!?
Thanks for testing.

same for me. it goes back to beep 1

Ok! Thanks.
I'd say: BUG.

Hi,
I just use the ogg files for speed cameras, saves faffing around with built in alerts and saves them for use with other POIs

Same for me! Nobody got a solution for this?

The solution has been writed before:
For MyPOI.ov2 file:
A) Take an audio file (.ogg extension)
b) Rename it as your pdi file into \MapFolder\MyPoi.ogg
C) When you set an acoustic alert for MyPoi.ov2 into tomtom,and it don't ask you the sound you like, it read from the ogg file and all is ok.

Help Help Help!!!
Hi There
I was wondering if anyone has come across the same problem as me. I have just got my spanking new HTC Diamond and I have installed TOMTOM 6 and everything works fine apart from the sound alrets when coming near "Speed Cameras" the screen is blinking the image but there is no sound alert.
I have added those POIs' to WARN me in the POI manage section on TOMTOM but still no joy.
I have also tried creating .ogg files and moving them to map folder naming them as the POI files in there but again no joy.
Has anyone come across the same problem ?

XPERIA Ringtone Volume

Hi all,
I searched the forum and didn't find someone else asking the same question, so if someone else did then I did a bad job searching the forum.
I just got my XPERIA yesterday. I am not facing problems with it yet, maybe in some time I will but as always SE will find solutions for the problems (hopefully).
My main concern here is the ringing tone volume, does anyone else find it low even when the tone is put to the max. I also got the SE C905 for my other line, and it's the same with all my SE phones the ringing tone volume is good leave the volume 5 and the sound is heard pretty well when the phone is not near me. The reason I want the sound louder is because a lot of time my phone is on my desk and I am talking to someone in the office, or even when I'm home I leave it in my bedroom and go to the kitchen, the volume in the X1 won't help much. I read on another forum one of the users playing with something in the registry to make the ringing tone louder but didn't say how.
Can anyone help me out here??
Thanks in advance.

having the same problem.. the volume is really low when at max...
was hoping someone possibly finding a solution to this

try this it fixed the problem for me

right, same problem here... I tried to tweak the \Windows\audiopara.csv file for sound volumes but is REALLY different from the touch or raphael

does this break the volume control?

Hey guys,
I actually have the opposite problem. When the system volume on my X1i is FULL, it seems to 'clip' really bad and the sound is distorted. I therefore my leave my volume at 80% max, and sometimes it still sounds 'tinny' and distorted. I think this is because the speaker is quite crap, as my HTC Universal had much better sound.
billybob, I would just double check that while you're holding the phone, you aren't covering the speaker hole with your hand. It is VERY easy to do so, and this HUGELY affects the quality/volume of the speaker. In case you were unaware, the speaker is on the bottom left side of the phone.
Interested to hear what others think about this, but I can tell you that I do NOT have low volume for sure.
If it's your ringtones only, then you might want to look into editing the .wav/.mp3 file and increasing the levels that way. I always make my own ringtones, and I find that sometimes I need to increase the dB levels a bit more than normal.

theres already been a couple of threads on this, you do need to edit the correct audiopara file, have a search for audiopara on my username

patterns
I downloaded and installed the HTCVolume.cab file on my X1. Did a soft reset too. Now what next? I dont see any new program or any change in the volume? Am i missing something?

I did the same, nothing's there. I will try searching for the audiopara solution maybe it will fix the problem.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443276&highlight=volume

I dont think its a general volume problem. It seems the Xperia is playing custom mp3 ringtones quieter than the standard ringtones that came with the device.

It doesn't have to do with the ringtones because I am using my own ringtone and on my X1 it's low whereas on my other SE C905 it's normal.
Now for those of you who didn't solve this yet, here's what I did and it worked for me thanks to our friend fards.
P.S.: I am not responsible for any defection in your phone using my method. You should do this on your own responsability.
Download fards's AudioPara3_XC_Vodafone_V5.zip which I reuploaded or if you have the original one which I have you will have to download AudioPara3_XC.zip. It's the same file but one for vodafone and the other for original ones that are not locked to one company which is my case.
Now go to your X1 to Windows folder, you have either AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv if your phone id locked to one company or AudioPara3_XC.csv if you have an unlocked phone. If you can't see these files press menu them show all files to view them. Now copy this csv file and put it somewhere on your desktop as a backup copy.
Unzip the csv file in some folder on your computer. Now download one of these files, which will allow you to copy the csv file to your mobile. Normal file explorer will not allow you to overwrite the csv file on the phone.
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
or direct cab file http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
After you install the software go to your Xperia open the software, navigate to Windows folder got the the AudioPara3_XC file and remove the read only option for the file. Now put your downloaded csv file to your phone (not to Windows folder, you can't paste it there). Using the total commander, navigate to where you copied the new csv file, then copy/move this file, and put the destination \Windows\ then soft reset your phone and you're done.
BTW after resetting the phone, the voice control interface changed, I don't know if it's due to the new csv but it kinda looks cool .
Thank you fards for the help

ehajj
thanks for the help. Just a few queries before I go ahead.
1) Will restoring the original AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv file to its original destination will make the phone as it was before or its a irreversible process?
2) Does this increase the speaker volume (for tones) or only the earpiece volume?
Thanks for your prompt help!

Hi Moleculez,
1) The purpose of backing up the original file is to be able to restore the phone volume to its original state, so yes it's a reversible process.
2) I noticed an increase in the speaker volume and that's what I wanted in first place. For the earpiece I don't know yet as I just got my X1 on saturday afternoon so I am still Xperiencing with it.

I'm Having a slight problem, here, wonder if anyone can help.
I'm using total commander, trying to remove the read-only attribute from the .csv files in my x1/windows folder.
I touch and hold the file, and select properties, then clear the read-only checkbox, check the change checkbox, and click now.
Upon reselecting the.csv file, and opening properties, it is still read-only.
Am i doing something wrong? should i soft reset at this point to change the attribute?
Any help much appreciated, as i'd love my X1 to be a bit louder.
By the way, its a generic UK X1. (CarphoneWarehouse 02 unlocked/unbranded)

why are you trying to remove the read-only status of a file in rom?
Overwrite the file with the new one, the old one will not be deleted, the operating system will just use the new one instead. If you don't like it delete or rename the new file and after a soft reset the original file will be restored.

WARNING
the file posted for NoBrand X1 attenuates excessively the volume during calling if you use headphone, so for me is not usable...
i've had to re-overwrite to the orginal one

My wife got her X1i yesterday and I played around with it and the sound volume is great and the clarity is superb. So I don't know what this is about.

try to use a custom mp3 as ringer and you will know what we're talking about

Is there anyway to change the Ringtone location?

is there a simple way to change the location of ringtones such as edit the registry?? everytime i change a ringtone it need to send to the main memory..i want to make it easier.. THX

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingDirectory = Storage Card\music

How
I am new to this community and just got my first WM phone a couple of days a go, TOPAZ..
How do I use regedit to alternate like shown above???

You can try PHM regedit. It's same like desktop pc regedit.

you can also try the "pocket version" of TotalCommander, there a biult-in Plugin for the registry

Problemo
Hey
Couldn't get it to work, and couldn't actually find the exact HKEY either from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Rin gDirectory = Storage Card\music.
For me it was identical up till \SoundCategories, but no RingDirectory key. It looked something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory
Modifying the Ring\Directory into "Storage Card\music" didn't help either, any ideas what could be the problem?

Also cannot get this to work. Have changed the setting from original \windows\ to Storage Card\music. Can anyone advise on the exact think to type in the space. Even tried adding the \ in front but same results

I tried it as well and didn't work. The strange thing is that I also used SKTools and found this as a configurable setting and it did nothing as well, seems that it was changing the same registry value.
