A fix for the annoying 'bing' when selecting a contact.

[Guest Will]

Our Philippines member Brigoli has produced a little application to automatically remove the sound that occurs when selecting a contact in the new email/sms/mms screen.

for the complete original thread visit http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=65269.

here is the readme file so you can see what it does :

                      ReplaceSound

                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~

          -Mark Willmer ([email protected])

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This program replaces the 'WindowsDefault.wav' file with an

alternative blank wave file every time the phone starts up.

The effect of this is that anything that normally uses this

sound no longer makes a sound.  This is most noticable when

contacts are added to the 'to' field of an email or sms

message.

To install this program, copy the cab file to a directory on

your phone that you can get to easily (eg. the start menu) and

open the cab file with your phone.  This will copy a small

executable and wave file to IPSMProgram FilesReplaceSound

and will create a shortcut in IPSMWindowsStartup.  You will

need to either manually run IPSMProgram FilesReplaceSound

ReplaceSound.exe or restart your phone after installation.

To remove this program use Remove Programs in ActiveSync or

the Control Panel on your phone.

Note that this program will only run on app-unlocked phones.

Could not get this to work, installed as instructed, rebooted worked but still got clicking sound at inbox. Tried running file from file explorer but no... same infernal clicking sound on inbox contact entry and before you ask yes it's an unlocked SPV any ideas whats goin wrong? :cry:

[Guest moo_ski_doo]

Not heard of it not working before, wouldn't be too surprised if it didn't work on other Smartphones but it's been tried and tested on the SPV!

All I can suggest is making sure it's installed correctly by checking that all the files mentioned in Readme.txt are where they should be. The executable assumes 'Default.wav' has been successfully installed in to the folder 'IPSMProgram FilesReplaceSound' - if this is not the case it won't work. If something is amiss I can give you copies of the original files and you can install it manually (again, refer to Readme.txt to see where everything should go.)

Hope this helps.

[Guest smartman]

Already checked that files were where they should be, and used file explorer and activesync to confirm this. Is it the click sound that should not play or am I getting confused I could try re-install to see if works..

[Guest moo_ski_doo]

Err... I wouldn't really call it a click. It's the loud cow-bell sound that plays when you click the action button in the 'To:' or 'Cc:' field of a new message. For whatever reason this sound doesn't change volume when you change profiles, so even if your phone's on silent this sound still plays loudly (unless you turn the earpiece volume down.) ReplaceSound should get rid of this sound altogether.

[Guest fozzie]

Excellent stuff. It works a treat.

Aaaaaah, peace at last!

Thanks ;)

Could the same thing be done to replace the (very loud) "descending" tone when a caller hangs up on you?

[Guest ixtab]

Great work! Thanks!

Not sure about that one, I'll have a look

This isn't the same problem so there's no need to fix it in this way. There's a much easier way to do it by tweaking the registry. Just go to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelSounds' and delete the key 'CallDrop'. This should sort it.

There's another thread somewhere else on this site which has lots of useful registry tweaks like this, you might be interested in having a look. You should get there by clicking here: tweaks ;)

[Guest zenabi]

Thanks guys! I can't believe I asked a "newbie" question! I must be getting old...

[Guest Matt Whitfield]

Works like a charm, thanks :-D

[Guest Pagemakers]

Guess what...........this fantastic program does not work on the E200. The bing sound is still there!!!!

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

But not in silent mode?

P

[Guest Pagemakers]

Yea, you're right, not in silent mode. I just hate that sound full stop. I hope the developer can tweak it to work with the E200 in all profiles.

[Guest moo_ski_doo]

I'll sort the problem out when I get home tonight, the update should be here by about 9.00 GMT.

[Guest Pagemakers]

I love you!

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Stop humping his leg Pagemakers ;-)

As promised, I've fixed ReplaceSound so it should work on Windows Mobile 2003. I had to post it in a different forum because I can't add attachments here: http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...6729&highlight=

Let me know if it works :lol:
