Increasing Ring & Vibrate Registry Tweak?

[Guest hamstar50]

Hi guys,

for those of you who are good with the registry and stuff, anyone know what the value should look like for both increasing ring and vibrate 'on' together?

Any help is much appreciated.

Many thanks.

[Guest hamstar50]

it's ok folks..hold the scrum...

figured it out. In case anyone wants to know, its as follows:

For Vibrating increasing ring, use this: ‘c50av0pw2c150r’

...where, buddy, where?

using a registry editor for smartphone like PHM Registry Editor,

not got the phone in front of me, so this may not be quite accurate but:

Hkey Current User -> Control Panel -> Sounds -> Ringtone0 -> Script and change the 'value data' to what I mentioned above.

This will allow the phone to ring with increasing volume (start low and gradually increasing) whilst still vibrating as well. This is my personally preferred ringing method.

Seems to not like continous tones at all though - like MP3s. The way SPV works is it plays the whole sound at a small volume and then repeats it when finished at a louder volume. If your tone is a MP3 or quite long, then it may not finish before the call ringing period therefore volume will never go louder than the lowest volume.

Hope that makes sense - if anyone can rephrase that, go for it :-)

surprised you didnt know about that one lutz, what with being a regular and all :)

[Guest lutzh]

you're right in this one. sometimes i am really surprised by myself that i missed cool things. every day i learn a little more...

btw: what ringtone/vibrating mode do i have to pick then to have increasing ring + vibrations?

cheers, lutz

Is there something that can be put in the registry for vibrate then ring and vibrate? You can select vibrate then ring from the control panels but the vibration stops when the ringing starts which is annoying.

[Guest midnight]

modify the reg key (HKCU/Control Panel/Sounds/Ringtone0 ... Script):

v3w3c50apv0c150r (this will also repeat the ringtone correctly without the 3 second wait)

(vibrate 3 seconds, wait thress seconds, start volume 50, audio, play, vibrate, end volume 150, repeat)

taken from an old thread here (was used for the alram, but scripts are same for both alarm and ringtones).

[Guest lutzh]

and my question, midnight?

what ringtone/vibrating mode do i have to pick then to have increasing ring + vibrations?  

:cry:

thanks, lutz

[Guest]

Cool, been wnating to change hte vibrate. Bit too weak for my liking. WIll give this a go tonight

[Guest midnight]

lutz, same as above, just minus the v3w3 (c50apv0c150r) as mentioned by hamstar50

[Guest lutzh]

nononono, midnight, i mean in setup/profile/ring type! do i choose vibrate then ring/vibrate and ring/vibrate/ring?

cheers,k lutz

[Guest midnight]

the reg setting overrides anything you put into the ringtype in profiles, oh, and also resets the reg setting if you go into profiles aswell, so make sure you make all your profile changes before changing the reg settings.

[Guest lutzh]

ohhh, thats bad, since i use a automatic profile switch for office/home (based on tinygps). so i guess i can't use it then :-(

thanks midnight.

cheers, lutz

[Guest midnight]

err, yeh, that should be fine i think, its only if you go into edit the profile it gets reset i think (if not, let me know, cos there is a profile edit you can make that fixes this :))

[Guest lutzh]

thanks again midnight, got it now (and working).

cheers, lutz

[Guest hamstar50]

Midnight - not sure if this is what you mean you have a fix for but...

...after I changed the reg value, thigs are fine as they should be (increasing ring + vibrate together) but if I change to another profile sike 'Silent' for example and then go back to my 'Normal' profile (which is the edited one), it resets itself to the default (thus loosing any changes I made).

Anyway round this? Is there something that makes it a little more perminant?

Cheers guys

I have a question and an answer.

First of all, to make changes to the ringtone settings more permanent you can edit the profile xml. I have just changed normal.prof.xml which I found in Storage>application data>profiles. I know I should have copied it and created a new profile, but I didn't. I just copied it onto my PC, ( I did make a backup) and then edited the actual file. I changed the value parameter (on about the 7th line) to have whatever string was suggested in the previous posts. In my case I put: "c50av0pc150r" to have vibrate and increasing ring and no wait between loops.

I then found I had to set the attribute of the file back to System before copying it back to the phone. You do this by : Start>run>cmd on your pc, then navigating to the folder you have your edited xml file in and typing in: attrib +s normal.prof.xml ( or whatever file you have changed).

I then copied it back to the phone over the file that was there before. I then switched to another profile and then back to "normal" to relaod the normal file. And it worked. It will stay like that even if you switch profiles, but it won't survive actual editing of the profile on the phone. eg changing the volume or something like that.

My question is:

I want to have an increasing tone, but I want it to start louder than it does. I've tried putting "c100av0pc150r" thinking it might start louder, but that just goes straight to the loudest and doesn't increase.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Isabelle

Hey Gang,

I got here as a result of a Yahoo! search. Obviously I've found the experts in ringtone/vibrating alert editing... So I come to you with a challenge.

Does anyone know how to edit the "length" of vibration on a Pocket PC Phone Edition? Meaning instead of having the phone go "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzz" for 3 seconds, instead it goes "Buuuuuzz" for 1.

Challenge extended. Good luck. :-)
