[Q] Sound/ringtone problems - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo everyone.
I know that there are little of us still using WM 6.5 but I am one of them (as a second OS) and I have one big problem.
Since few days my ringtones doesn't work, and I simply can't change selected ringtone, nevermind I tried it in settings/Sound&Display/Ring and Notifications or in Start/setings/Sound&Notifications. Whatever I choose everything still stay unchanged and phone doesn't ring. When I use the hardware volume keys, it beeps loudly. I also have problems with sounds or volume in other programs, and Windows Media does not open in the Start Menu - won't open any music file.
Does anyone know what might be a problem and how to solve it!? Thanks in advance.

Still using WM6.5.5 as main OS myself
Have a look at thread & suggested causes & fixes from link below:

Thanks man, I've been looking all over the web and i couldn't find any similar solution but this helped me!
Thanks once more...

Solution : SMS, Alarm Clock and Incomming Call RingtoneManager

Today I tried to suggest some new functionalities like SMS or other notification ring tone management to the great TNT WM6.1 cookers and someone said these are junks and should not be add to the great OS, if you want it then DIY (do it yourself).
I want to mention these functionalities are not junk because every simple phone OS has it. If it is junk why everybody searches the way to handle it ?
Why Windows Mobile can not handle such simple tasks ?
Anyway, I developed one and uploaded it for you in a simple executable file under .net compact framework v2.
This application supports MP3, Wave, AAC and WMA formats with no need to be copied to Windows or any other directory.
If there was something wrong, please let me know .
Hope you enjoy it.
Edit : A new feature added, Reminder Alarm. Consider assigning a new Task and set a reminder time and date for it. In this release you can set a new sound for it.
It says I need a newer version of the .NET framework
where do i get that?
my framework version is 2.0.7045.0
I have it installed on my device via TNT WM6.0.
You can download it from microsoft web site, from the following link I think :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6B-356B-4A2C-857C-E62F50AE9A55&displaylang=en
it works!
but only the incoming tone works. i tried to work the text tone
but when i do receive the text, no sound comes out
and i tried a soft reset
What format did you set for your SMS tone ? was it MP3, Wave or AAC ?
What OS version are you using ? And what's your device ?
I've tested it on Wizard (I-mate K-Jam) and TNT WM6.0 so many times and it worked.
i tried both WAV and MP3
I can not figure out your OS correctly.
What does the application show in the Messaging : New Text Message part, when you open the application ?
I ask others, please let me know the results.
Thanks so much.
it works. i uploaded the slim WM6.1 last night but is it normal for it to be so short?

You mean your SMS tone worked too ??
I did not understand what do you mean about it to be so short.
Happy that worked.
Do you have any new idea to be added or any problem in the application ??
Does anyone know how to change the alarm clock sound to any other sound file ?? any tweak ??
no. but that is what i wanted to ask from you
if you can make your program do alarm clock sounds too
I'm hardly searching for it, have not found the solution but if I found it, I will add it for sure.
Thanks you so much for your patience.
At last found the solution by testing on my own device
The application will be ready soon.
Provided the new application with following functions :
1- Changing Incoming Call Ringtone
2- Changing New Text Message (SMS) Ringtone.
3- Changing Alarm Clock Ringtone (new).
Uploaded the file here in this post and also updated the first uploaded file too.
So, please download the latest file to have all the functionalities. (Both of them are the same)
I will be really happy to hear from you and having your ideas about it.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it.
you are one amazing man! thanks
much appreciated
Thanks dear sungersoo for your support and help.
Any new idea and comment is welcomed.
Hope all of you to be happy.
can you tweak it so, when a sms does come in... you can touch the screen or hit the side button for the music to stop?
or the menu>dismiss when the notification pops up
I searched a lot, but I have not found anything.
I'm thinking about handling on screen key events, so when I done it, I will let you know.
Anyone who downloads the application, please let me know the results.
Thank you.

Voice mail issues , any help will be very apreciated

I guys
I´ve been searching for similar issues but I wasn´t able to find anything related.
I'm using the Shadow CE , and my voice mail is facing the following issue:
when I type the numbers using the dialpad to access te diferent options given by operator these keys seem to be dead as I'm not able to execute anything inside my voice mail.
E.g. - To hear my messages I need to press 1 which I do but with any effect.
Anyone has faced this before ?
Thanks in advance.
All the best
Pedro
Long tones versus short tones?
Hello ribasnet, you may try to change the keypad tones in the options of your dialer - I'm not running this ROM so I can't check it, but if I remember correctly the dialer defaults to short tones (many automated systems can't 'hear' the short tone) - give it a try and see if it works
Good luck!

i hope so to. I would much rather make this rom as a community then by myself
Irus and Michy,
Both of you are my heroes. Thank you. I'm aware however of some errors and speed problem of the original chinese version, and am waiting for the "stabilisation version " atm. I'm currently using mutou version 1 which is fast and no serious bug. Good that you have gained the expertise to do the translation, as we can then do it for all future non-english ROM.
Irus, don't worry about so many ROMS. You've given us more choices, that's all. We thank you for these. Keep up the good work!
Irus and Michy,
Can you put back the standard keyboard and remove the chinese SIPs? If we can fix the setting to turn off auto-rotate and have touchflo setting it will be sweet. Also, for some reasons, my Sprite backup does not work. All these were among the problems in the chinese version.
Okay, I tried out the spl1.2 Translated (into English) version of Mutou's ROM.
First, I checkd through the settings and noted the following:
1. In the power setting, there are three tabs with names called "10 sec", "30 sec" and "1min". I think the correct name for them should be "External Battery", "Internal Battery", and "Backlight brightness" or similar wording.
2. TouchFLO setting is all messed up.
3. Soft key setting are still in Chinese. I think we should either remove this, or have it in English.
4. Auto-rotate setting still does not respond.
5. A4 keyboard should be completely removed and replaced by the standard keyboard
6. We should hide extended-ROM2
7. I can't find camera application, However, I am able to start the camera if I use the picture viewer program. The problem, however, is that all the usual camera settings such as choosing the mode, resolution, etc, are not responding to user actions.
8. When I tried to set up my data service provider's setting, I noticed that it only has ability to set up dialed up modem, so I'm unable to test any 3G data connection.
9. SMS services setting gives a blank screen.
10. Although the start menu has a link to phone, phone application does not exist. I can't start a dialer. However, I am able to go to the contact application and make a call, although I'm then unable to end the call since there is no dialer.
11. The Notes application does not start.
12. Camera application started via the picture viewer does not offer the opportunity to use microdrive as storage, although microdrive is functioning properly.
13. Window Media Player does not produce any sound.
14. After using the device for a while, the device stop producing sound although Sound Setting has checked the bottom two entries.
At this point, I installed my wktask and FtouchSL.
Then, all applications stop working, wherease the file explorer was working before this. Contact applicaion no longer could start. Calender could not start, and shows an error saying "No program memory availalble. Tap Start>Settings>system tab>memory , stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again". Actually no program is running yet. I then uninstalled both wktask and Ftouchsl. The ROM does not seem to allow it to be successfully removed.
At this point, I could not proceed any further.
Good try though, at least most of the text are in English now. Looking forward to the second attempt.

Hullo Michy,
If you managed to solve these issues, would you avail it for both spl's..1.2 & 3.5
Cheers
for now, i have fixed smsservice and backlight issue + standard virtual keyboard input.
You can solve this on your ppc with overwriting file in attached zip in /windows folder and import the keyboard.reg registry file.
Then reboot...
I cant fix more for now...
have a problem
i can not run the Phone in the Programs menu.

There is'nt a need to pursue this further, because the purpose of the translation is to get something like what is shown in your link. Thank for the effort.
Sergiopi, I recommend that the translated ROM link in your ROM list thread be removed because they are still very half baked.

A set of querries..

hello frnd. i have faced a few problems cooking wm6.5 roms recently. which if you find a solution then share with me asap. am not releasing newer version of my roms cause am busy with my exams and not able to get enough time to fix these bugs.

A Few Q's

Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded from a TYTN II to a Hero. I have been using WinMo for years, so it's taking me a fair amount of adjustment to get used to Android. Overall, I am impressed with it.
I have a couple of issues, that are driving me insane :-
1. Is it possible to explore the Hero through Windows Explorer, like WinMo ?
If not, how can I get files to/from the Hero ? I have seen SugarSync, but surely there is a more seamless solution than this.
2. SMS Tones & Volume
Is it possible to select the SMS Tones (MP3), and increase the volume of notifications ? It seems there is ring volume, media volume but not notifications.
3. Removable Disk
The Hero appears as a removable disk in Win Explorer...can anything be done with this ? It needs to be formatted but I am loathe to try it.
Before anyone comments, I have spent the past 3 days going through all of the forums on XDA Dev looking for a solution.
My phone has been rooted...for what good it does !!
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
answers:
1) No. you can explore the sd card as shown in the manual and QSG, but you can not access the phone memory.
2) notifications uses the same volume as ringtones. in fact, in settings when you edit the ringer volume it tells you this on screen.
As for setting you own mp3 tones as notifications, this has been done in other threads, generally called 'custom notifications'. I am sure you will find it if you search again.
3) you shouldn't need to format it at all, as long as you have followed the instruction in the manual and quick start guide properly.
Thanks !
Hi Rhedgehog,
That's really helpfull. Although a strong case of RTFM ! I had already worked out how to get custom notifications on there, so that wasn't an issue.
Thanks for your stirling support.
Dan.
