[charlietaylor]

Is there anyway of extending the ring & vibration duration?

You can make it loop if you want :)


(Looping Ringtones)

This tweak works perfectly you should apply it to your ppc's:

While playing a wav or midi or a wma as the ringtone the phone has a delay of 3 seconds before repeating, now this is really annoying if you've just created that great wav,wma ringtone, spent time making it loop properly in sound editor or whatever, and then the ppc does the silly delay, well, here’s the fix...

Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Select 'Values'
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 (eg. change 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr')
"w3" stands for "Wait 3 seconds" you can make it "w1" or "w4" or remove to make the ringtone loops

This may sound silly, but how do you edit the registry on the xda, I know how to do it on a PC.

With one of these...

[charlietaylor]

Thanks Bob
Will give it a go.

[nightwolf]

will this regedit work on xda II ??

cheers

[Rayan]

yes it will work on all Pocket PC variants, including XDA2, MDA2, QTek2020, etc... (as long as they're ARM or XScale).

[nightwolf]

Thanks for that, will give it a go.

now be able to play with all the REG now.

cheers

Just to add another perspective, the amount of time the phone rings is actually a network setting (the time before it goes to the answering service) and can be changed by sending status codes to the service provider.

I'm sure if you google around a bit you will find the answer, but I changed mine from 20 seconds to 40 seconds, which greatly reduced my missed calls.

Edit: Done the googling for you. Check out this website (Tekguru) (http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=8316) with a guide of sorts.

surur - that's a very useful tip - thanks a bunch for that :D

Hmm, few days ago, I found this reg values in the registry. I try some variations but with no success. I will check it again.

Maybe
a = alarm
v = vibrating
??

So, can I setup my phone, to vibrate periodic, while ringing continous a long WMA? Easyer to notify periodic, short vibrating, and it reduce battery usage I think.


Another question. I like siemens phones, because it plays a signal continously, while the ring-echo tone is hearable. It is good, because sometimes the started call interrupted.
With other phones like XDA, there is no signal while I waiting for the ring-echo tone. Sometimes the initiated call is interrupted, and I waiting for the nothing. The phone not notify me that the call is not completed.... :?

Can I make a Siemens-like tone for dialing?
(Can you understand what am I writing? :oops: )


Thank you!

It works also with MS Smartphones (SPV, etc...)

Does extended ring work on UK Orange? If so what are the numbers?

Thanks.

i used a wma file for my incoming SMS, but when a message arrives and i am reading it, the wma file just keeps playing. Can i set this in such a way that when i open the message, the music stops?

thanks

here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/SP_AMO/html/registry_ahuw.asp) is the documentation on how to set ringtones

i checked msdn , but couldn't find anything about the 'script' values :cry: this doesn't mean it isn't there, maybe I'm temporarily blind.

I would like to have my ringtone Vibrate then loop without pause with increasing volume, so i tried all the possibilities in phone settings and checked the registry :

script for ring : apw3r
Increasing ring : c50apw3c150r
ring once : p
vibrate : av3w3r
vibrate and ring : av0pw3r
Vibrate then ring : v3w3apw3r


so as far as i could figure out :
v3 stands for vibrate 3 seconds and v0 stands for Vibrate continuous
p stands for play
w3 stands for wait 3 seconds
c50 sets the volume to 50 ? and C150 adds 150 ?
a & r are used as begin loop & end loop

so my final script is v3w3c50apc150r which means
1) vibrate 3 secs
2) wait 3 sec
3) set vol to 50
4) play
5) add 150 to volume
6) repeat from step 4

I'm not exactly sure about the volume settings, but it works (as long i don't change the phone settings thru control panel)

hope this helps anyone

You can change the script in the registry. However, whenever you open the Phone Setting and click OK (since there's no Cancel button), the new setting will overwrite your modified script.

I like staccato vibrating while ringing normaly.
Like this:

ring: -------------- -------------- ------------
vibr: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I tryed some code variations, but didn't work.

[JGUI]

In my Phone Profiles you have "staccato" vibration. I named it: pulsed vibrate. Both for rings and sms alerts.

I know that many users have problems with my Phone Profiles, but also I know how many users use it without problems (believe me: more). I still improve my softeware and make modifications and fixes. The problem depends from another software inside your hardware. Most of them are because IDCaller is inside the default OEM system in some hardware and users cannot remove this program. Alternatively you have not to use a advanced features from my software.

I give a free trial version to check how it works with your phone.

[Metalz]

Like chriswo said, the setting will revert back to it's default whenever you change your ringtones. Are there any way so that the change can be permanent there?

[origor]

just my 2 cents and my 1st post here... hope it will be of some help!

I found out using PocketZenPhone, you could change the type of vibration and Ringtones to your needs for each profile. Just have to replace the codes in the PZP Setting Output files and then import them in for each profiles.

Thanks to this thread, I've manage to found out what each codes meants. I've added some additions. So sharing here for all to see...

Ring Values:
------------
Display - a
Flash - af1w60f0
Ring - apw3r
Ring Once - ap
Increasing Ring - c50apw3c150r
Vibrate Then Ring - v3w3apw3r
Vibrate - av3w3r
Short Vibrate - av1w3r
Vibrate Long Then Ring - v3w3v3w3apw3r
Vibrate And Ring - av0pw3r
Increasing Ring And Vibrate - c50apv3w3c150r
Fast Vibrate And Flash - af1v1w1f0r


v3 stands for vibrate 3 seconds and v0 stands for Vibrate continuous
p stands for play
w3 stands for wait 3 seconds
c50 sets the volume to 50 ? and C150 adds 150 ?
a & r are used as begin loop & end loop


Just to add more: -
f1 stands for flash for 1 second and f0 stands for flash continuous
a stands for display

That's it!

[Shtopor]

I want to join Sella in question how to make device vibrate with pauses and play long melody at the same time...
I already tryed to make two cicles but it didn't work :(
So, maybe you have any ideas???
Please HEPL! :(

One can use a number for "p" as well, e.g. "p3" will only play the first 3 seconds of the ringtone.

When using a command with a number greater than 0, it represents a time span in seconds that the command will be executed separately, but when using 0 (for continuous) it can be combined with another command (limiting its "continuous" characteristic):
- v0 will vibrate continuously;
- v3 will vibrate for 3 seconds;
- v3p will vibrate for 3 seconds, then play the ringtone;
- v0p will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and when the ringtone stops, the vibrating stops as well;
- v0p3 will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and stop after 3 seconds...

My script now reads: v0pav1pr, meaning it will vibrate during the first ringtone, then it will loop a 1-second vibration followed by a plain ringtone.
