Lets figure out that annoying call waiting sound.

[x51]

Everyone has a different story, or a different item that has triggered that call waiting sound. But it's a minority of people that seem to have it.

I'd like to use this thread to simply have everyone who does have that sound to state, when they got it.. and what applications they had installed... maybe we can determine what combination of items causes it.

Please help if you have that sound and want to get to the bottom of it.

(dont bother with random suggestions on how to fix.. I just want to keep a clean thread to see if we can gather info to see if we have anything in common)

I personally had DCD 3.2.5 / Radio 3.42.02

OK. I was on DCD 3.1.6 and it was my favorite!!! I hated to leave that version. I had radio 3.42.30 (from the vogue). I had no call waiting sound issues whatsoever.

I got my friend to purchase a TITAN and I was showing him how to cook his phone using DCD's kitchen. He had his phone for 2 months and we hadn't cooked. We started on 3.2.2. Note, he was on the stock radio, 3.42.02. We didn't upgrade his radio. We then cooked his phone with DCD 3.2.2. The OEMS we added were:

Google Maps (From PPCKitchen oem)
Games (Chess, Freecell, Galaga, Hearts, Kevtris, Ms PacMan) (From PPCKitchen)
Sprint TV (From PPCKitchen oem)
YouTube Player (From PPCKitchen oem)

The items below are the ones we selected that were built into DCD's kitchen:

Adobe
Entertainment
Voice Command
Startup Animation
HTC Vogue PhoneCanvas


After cooking both of our phones, we both started receiving this sound during call waiting. I then upgraded my Radio to 3.42.50. I still had the sound.

So I thought it was DCD 3.2.2. I then upgraded to 3.2.5. I still had the sound.

I then downgraded my radio to 3.42.40. I still had the sound.

After that, last weekend, I then used the PPCKitchen version 20270 to try cooking it to see if it removed the annoying sound. I still got the sound again.

So at that point today, I just put the 3.56 Stock ROM on my phone to reset the radio, etc. I then used DCD's 3.2.5 kitchen with my same OEM's. The only difference is that I put the phonecanvas.dll file from DCD 3.1.6 in the HTC Vogue PhoneCanvas (OEM_HTC_PhoneCanvas_1_0_31335_0). He mentioned in another thread. I love DCD's work! His kitchens are awesome!

So I am currently at Radio: 3.42.02 and DCD 3.2.5 (using the phonecanvas.dll from DCD 3.1.6).

I am hoping this fixes the problem.

Things to note:

* When I cooked with DCD 3.2.2 and the PPCKitchen 20270. I got the annoying sound.

* People have it using every radio from 3.42.02 to 3.42.50. (Which makes me think it's not a radio issue)

Is ts the CE OS Build of Windows? Or is it the PhoneCanvas people keep mentioning?

Something else?

I will update everyone with how it goes.

[scrawnyb]

I thought someone already had said that it was the Dialer/PhoneCanvas causing this problem?

Either way, I am, like so many others, interested in the solution for this. With the help of someone else, I may spend an evening and figure this out for sure.

The first thing that needs to be done is to see if it acts differently bad on how the call is (you calling out first vs you getting a call) before getting another call. I imagine that this factor shouldn't affect it happening, but taking a scientific approach, it should be evaluated.

Next, make sure you can reproduce it every time. If not, there must be other (hidden?) circumstances.


I could sit here and elaborate on how to narrow this down, but it would take longer than anyone would care to hear. Just be scientific and intellectual about trying to find it, and you should be able to for sure.

Well, my 2 cents? Had it with 3.42.50 and 3.42.40 (downgraded) on the 20270 kitchen. A couple of days ago, I cooked with dcd 3.2.5 kitchen and its gone. I chose NO dialer skin as I prefer the standard dialer. (i like the contacts being right there along with the "smart" dialing. Any excuse to use the scroll wheel is good enough for me :) )

you can stop the sound from playing all together. in a registry editor, go to HKCU->ControlPanel->SoundsCategories->Sounds and delete the CallWaiting key. this will stop any sounds from playing.

Or you could wait for 3.2.6. as dcd said it's fixed.

[joojoobee666]

Hmm, so why do some people have the problem and some don't? I flashed with dcd 3.2.5 and it's gone, whereas others say they still have it. *shrugs*

[worldwidepmp]

I'm one that's never had the problem but at the same time I always use a specific dialer with each new upgrade. That's why I think it's a phone canvas issue.

I can say just the opposite since I NEVER use anything but the default canvas/dialer.

I first got this after flashing radio 3.42.30 and dcd 3.2.2 (same night)

I flashed to dcd 3.23, and it was still there.
I flashed to dcd 3.25, and its still there.
I re-flashed the radio, and its still there.
I Upgraded the radio to 3.42.50, its still there.
I edited my registry to not use the vogue dialer--still there.

I'm using dcd's kitchen, no OEMs added, just enterprise, entertainment, vc, and everything else as defaults.

I'm on alltel, I do use activesync with exchange, spb pocketplus, google maps, livesearch, htc gps viewer, and wififofum2.


I did NOT re-flash without the dialer--too tired of reinstalling everything.

I'm pretty sure its every call, regardless of whether its incoming or outgoing.

Does this mean they know what the issue is? I wasn't aware of that.. I thought a handfull of people had the issue and the cause was still unknown?

[x51]

Updated to DCD 3.2.6.. Installed all apps.. No more Call waiting sound!!!

[diveman]

Same as x51. I flashed 3.2.6 and the fall out noise is gone! WOOT

ppc 6800
alltel
3.42.50
dcd's 3.2.6

[JerrytheGreat]

Same here--the beep is gone!!!

[studentjunk]

so what caused it? How to change call waiting to personal tones?

I dont know. It's fixed in 3.2.6.. so DCD knows.. :D

I wonder if he can release a fix for those who are comfortable and dont wish to flash??

i would guess that you would need to open the dll's in the phonecanvas package using resource hacker and modify them before cooking your rom (or make a cab)
