help, sound beep on start up and midnight, any ideas? - HTC Startrek

Hi,
Recently my girlfriend's Qteck 8500 has been making a system beep upon start up and at midnight every night. I've tried to rule out the obvious, i've checked alarms, tasks and calender. Its not any system sound that i have set and there is no visual alert, just an annoying bleep. (it sound like the pocket pc "sms sent" default sound, if that is any help). The only thing i can think she was doing around the time it started was messing around with the STK (SIM Tool Kit) settings wherupon it sent a sms request off to 02, not sure if thats the cause. Its got me stumped, any ideas anyone,
Much appreciated in advance.

Missing phone calls

Hello,
I'm missing calls with this unit all the time. When I call the unit, it does not even ring until second or third ring... am I doing something wrong here?
I'm with Fido.
Thanks
I had the same whith ELF . The problem is that it has priority for data connection . (and i can guess that you are checking mail every 5 min with sevelal accounts ). so when it use mail-push ----you miss calls
Solution to my mind is to check mail manualy or not every 5 min
I myself have ELF for telefon and reminder and X7500 only for DATA (mail internet massanger) and as organizer (more convinient to write than with ELF)
You can also call your carrier and ask them to add more time before voicemail picks up. My mother had this problem - picked up after 3-4 rings so she never had time to get it out of her purse. She got it extended to 6-7 rings and now she's fine.
My Athena rings on the 2nd ring, but my Jabra starts vibrating on the 1st, so I haven't had a problem.

Make sure you use a .wav ringtone and not a .wma one
normally there is a 3 second delay. Try changing the registry to remove the delay
You've just to edit the follwing reg value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
edit "Script" value to apw0r
that's a zero in apw0r
Another issue that effects the time to ring is the type of ring tone. .wav files will ring quickest.
I just found a long list of registry hacks, and one of them might be very useful for this thread - you can change how the phone rings/handles incoming calls. Maybe playing around with this you can get your phone to ring sooner?

Sms Ringer Problems

Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...
29 views and no responses....does anyone on ths site know anything about phones...obviously not...
hi i am fairly new too this stuff and what i think is happening for the first issue may not be happening.....but only a professional can correct tht....when a txt message ringtone plays it basically plays the whole song or ring..before it stops....it almost as if when u recieve a text message windows media player launches in the background and just plays till the end....but it dose not do that for phone calls because any musical content or data service is stopped the second you recieve a phone call...as for the vibration issue i have no idea what too tell you oon that...but what u can try is use small sound files as ringers tht way they wont overlap each othereaside from tht i think there is a registery key tht you can change to achive a limited time ring when a text message is recieved....
as for the reg key you will have to search the forms for tht i believe....
What i do is crop my songs / sounds for text messages. I crop them to about 2 seconds or a little bit more and I dont worry about ongoing sounds playing.
Also you can change the settings on your phone to vibrate and ring, ring, vibrate and so one. See if any of those settings are interfering with your notifications.
Ive tried all of your suggestions in the past..the whole reason im using songs as ringtones is so that im aware of when im recieveing a text...if i wanted a 2 second ringer id use a stock one...guess the problem is unfixable...thanks for th input tho

App for filtering calls while phone is on silent ?

Hi,
I remember seeing an app a couple of months ago that, when set, would let you filter incoming calls while your phone is on silent, the problem is that i have no idea what the app is called and have tried searching with no luck.
Now what i mean is this:
If i put my friends number in the settings of the app and he calls me while my phone is on silent he will recieve an automated SMS from my phone saying that my phone is on silent but if it's an emergency that he should call me again and if they do call me again within a certain period of time the app makes the phone ring normally instead of silencing the call.
Anyway, i have no idea what it's called and would really appreciate any help in finding it
EDIT: Never mind, found it, it's called Dindy

Weird ringtone behaviour on self-made ringtones

Hey all
I made a ringtone for one of my contacts which i am using for both calls and messages.
And it seems to work everywhere except for WhatsApp.
In whatsapp the ringtone starts and then gets started again. Basically interupting itself.
Do you know what I mean? It doesn't play through once but starts and then restarts before finishing. I tried shortening it and lengthening it. No effect.
Does anybody know if there is some way to fix this? Do i need to set a certain flag/tag?
Thank you guys!
