Changing notification sounds?

My TyTN II has no "tick" sound when I activate a menu and "tock" sound when I select an item in the menu like other PPC phones, is this normal? I've enabled the event and program notification sounds but still I don't get those sounds.
Also I can't seem to change the other notification sounds (example the sound when the device needs you to confirm an action, when the device encounter error, etc.) by replacing the wav files in windows directory like other PPC phone. Can anyone help?

SMS reports eraser

Hi
I just downloadet the programm "SMS reports eraser" from here: http://www.jgui.net/black/smsreportseraser/index.html
The problem is, that option "no sound" doesn't function on my diamond. I hate this sound on sms-delivery-reports ;-)
Can anybody help?

Use Schaps Advance Config instead

I'm author of SMS reports eraser.
Could you export and send me the registry of HTC Diamond? I will fix.
For now, you can just manually delete two sound files SMSREPORT... wav from root Windows directory.

Hi
There are no souch soundfiles in windows root directory...
I think the problem is, that delivery-reports have the caracter of a normal sms. And because of that, the sound appears. Erasing the corresponding soundfile may not be the solution because then, normal sms will also play no sound.
I try to export the registry this evening. If anybody else could do this, I would be very happy
Regards

if you instralled from my original setup file: exe or cab (directly from my above link web page)
and if you still hear the special sound prior to the default notification, you use for notify about new sms...
that means, absolutely, you have two SMSREPORTERASER1.wav and SMSREPORTERASER2.wav files in Windows directory.
because this soud file is listen. and because my setup file installed/copied these files there.
probably you have locked the view of some files inside \windows folder.
don't afraid to delete these sound files, because it does not use as the default notification about new sms or something others. these files are used by my program only.

No my mistake, in Advanced Config you can only turn sms notifications/reports off.
Sorry

Doesn't work for me too.
I have an WM6.1 ROM.
Normal SMS sound is the same has delivery report. No changes.
Did two soft reset... And it's the same.
Cheers

Working Ok on my Wizard, sound and delivery report to read
Installed in the SD Card
ps: Since this is generic app, I think that should be in the Development area ?

no, I think these theme should be in this thread ;-)
I hope the developer finds a solution soon, because this sound of sms-delivery is really annoying...

But did you noticed any changes or is the same sound has before?
In my case, i stayed with the same sound has before... Nothing changed...:S
Cheers

The only sound that you may activate or not, is the Woman/Man annouce, the other sound is the common sound of an SMS arriving, that probably you may change in Sounds and Notifications
I've mentioned that this app should be moved to Development area, since it is aplicable to any other devices

No. The other sound should be "No sound" and it's not working... That is what i was saying.
Cheers

Yesterday i've uninstalled the aplication, but today when i wake up it said "Cannot run windows/smsreporteraser.exe"
When i installed it i configured to erase all reports at 6 a.m..
Now i've changed the clock to 5.59a.m but there was no message.
Hope it was only once...
Cheers
EDIT: Tried again with thw woman sound. Now it's playng the woman sound and then plays normal sms sound...:S
Cheers

I should clearer explain how this program works.
It tries to recognize, if the received SMS message is the delivery report.
If it is a report, it will play own sound (woman's, or man's, or nothing), and then allows system to process default Windows Mobile "new text message" notification. This one what you set in system's default Settings Notification dialog. There's no common between default system's notification and my program. My program just hold default notification (if this is a report message) for the time of own process, and then release it in normal way. Also, it set the timer to run deleting of all reports, in the specified moment in the future. If this moment will become, it will delete all reports in Inbox. This moment is calculated from the last received and recognized report message.
FOr example, you sent one SMS at 13:45 and then received report at 13:46. If you set the deleting time in my program to "2 hours" you can expect the report will disappear at 15:46.
But, if in the meantime, you sent some other SMS message, and got next delivery report, for example at 15:10, you should expect both reports will disappear at 17:10.
I think (and tested) this idea, these rules, are "logical", and very usuful for daily activities.
It's enough conveniently way to control, what your message was delivered, and what not.
IF you want to hear woman's or man's voice notification, it will play before the system's notification, but ONLY if: you set ring sound, you set "new text message" sound, and you set volume greater than zero. This prevents from hearing the sound when you use "silence" profile, vibrate only, or something like this. I've decided to include such rules, because different devices organize and use "profiles" in different ways, if any at all: most Smartphones use profiles, but not all touch-screen devices use. So my program checks the volume of notification sounds and ring sounds, to be sure you will not hear anything when you in the dark cinema. If you have better idea how to prevent the hearing in various types of mobile devices, please share.
So, if you use 6a.m. time for deleting, and even if you will uninstall this program, the timer will run up to this moment, and try to execute = delete reports. Only once.
There is no way to break the timer. What for?
Alternatively you can only use some special program, where you can review all your system's timers of notifications, and delete SMSREPORTSERASER manually.
... still awaiting for someone who send me HTC DIamond registry exported copy.
What I have to review inside, to fix sounds problem in this device.

I thought that we could have only your sound when receiving a delivery report.
When i receive a delivery report i ear both sounds (male/female) and normal sound, one after the other, and thought that was a bug.
Thanks anyway
Cheers

do you think, I should add option "not play the default sound notification" in case of delivery report received?

Yes! I think think that should be a good modification to the program.
Also think that mutch people whould apreciate.
Please do!
Cheers

That would be perfect!
I just tried out your app, and it works very well. Cleared out yet one more problem from the Diamond!
But that last option you mention - that would fit very well imo.

I would really appreciate too....
could somebody send the registry-file to the developer of this appl.? Unfortunately I am to dumb to do this :-(

ok. I added the option "don't play default notification".
if you use such option, the systme's popup notification or sounds will not in use when new delivery report will arrive.
please redownload the new setup file, re-install, and - don't forget - make a soft-reset.

New Text message - no sound

Hello all,
sorry for my bad english
Some how, my diamond doesnt makes alert sound when a new text message is recived. Every other event makes sounds perfectly.
I set it to make a sound and vibrate in the old winmo interface.
I found no option like this in diamond tweak or advanced config
(thos programs has only ringtone change option - and my diamond ring just fine. I used advanced config to set it to wake up when a new message arrives.
What can be the problem.

Same problem here, but with new MMS. SMS notification works normally.
MMS work with the new ROM.
But the MMS notification has no sound and no vibration, even if checked in the settings.

me again
I just found out that the same problem happens when I get a new Email message - the device makes lights but no sound even though I set it to at the events area in windows mobile settings. When I press the play buttin there it playes the sound perfectly.
HELP PLEASE

Had the same problem, I managed to set an inbuilt ringtone. Maybe it is not as good as my own, but at least I can hear anything. Search for it.

sorry for my bad english...
actually, i ever had this problem before, it is:
in the events area in windows mobile settings. if you press the play button, it playes the sound perfectly, but when a message is received, there is no alert sound...
that's because i changed the sms mode from "chat mode" to the traditional one (i just don't know how to express this, but i think you can understand) and when i change this back to normal, the sound comes back again
hope this can be helpful

Are these not working ringtones in MIDI format?

Help! Ayuda! Ringtone

So i need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!

more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I use the stock rom. I haven't upgraded to any other rom. I am trying to put a song into the windows file so i can change the text notification to the song of my choice. I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.

Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.

Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,

(And I assume you're putting the potential ringtones in \My Documents\Ringtones)

So i figured out how to put songs as a ringtone. So now i want a song as a text notification. And nothing seems to work. :[ Also i installed xda-team_manilla2d.cab and the weather isn't working it wont allow me to add a location and the settings sounds tab isn't working either. help?

[Q] Where is this ringtone file located?

Recorded file of the ringtone I asked is attached.
It's in Messaging / Gmail / Email -Settings-Notification settings-Select ringtone-scroll up2top
u will probably see a "Default Ringtone". -- which is not listed in system settings-sounds-notifications.
A friend of mine asked me to send this ringtone to him, but rookie like me cannot find where the ringtone file actually is. ..... already tried /system/media/
well it may be stupid but can someone help me find it?
Seems that both froyo & gb roms contain this ringtone. Searched several pages for it but still got no answer.

From your home screen:
Press the Menu Button
Select Settings
Select Sound
Select Notification Ringtone
This is your Default Notification Sound. If you want your messages to make a different sound than the default notification that it uses for everything else (email, updates, etc.) you would change it in the menu you listed. The "Default Ringtone" is simply a pointer.

Thanks for reply but afraid it's not what I need. I know I can change it to everything else .
My point is to get this exact ringtone file --which sounds a little boring . /_\

Dude you are completely missing the question.
OP
I just looked in /system/media/sounds/ringtones
And notifications, I didn't find it either, but I don't have a "default ringtone" option at the top either...
But why do you need to extract it? You have the sound right there in your first post? Just convert it to .ogg format and drop it in your friend's phone where it should go...

that's a recorded one not a lossless one as he requests..
sounds silly but I also like to find out.
I tried Serendipity_6.4 & continuum 5.41 they both have this default ringtone (difference is S has it as phone Ringtones, C has it as notification sound.
).
There are some posts here about people had set to another ringtone but sometime still heard this default one ringing , in lately builds of roms.

I notice the /system/build.prop does specify ro.config.ringtone and ro.config.notification_sound. Perhaps this would be the file name you're looking for.

Here is another twist for you. On Cog 4.4.2 my default notification is NOTHING. It doesn't make any sound at all.
All I can say at this point is to play every notification/ringtone file on your phone and see if you can find it.
