Do you have the Qtek update by any chance.

There is a really annoying and loud double beep on startup :evil:

The startup sound uses the parameters set in the Notification Category (see Settings - Profiles) therefore if you were to change the Notfication volume to off it will also affect other sounds ie. SMS

You should be able to turn off the startup sound seperately by using the registry editor.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemStart.

Create a new value.

Click Values tab

Click Menu - New Value - String

Value Name: Script

Value (leave blank)

This string should overwrite the string in Notification category and therefore play nothing (no p in string value). Try turning your phone off & on now :wink:

why i still get the beep sound after i do the registry stuff?

did i do anything wrong?

should i highlight this part or click into it when i create value

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemStart

after i create the new value called string

now i see

Category

Sound

String

inside...is that right?

[Guest snowycelica]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sounds/SystemStartup

Select 'Values'

Select 'Sound'

Change Value Data to the path and name of your wav (eg, if you save the wav to IPSMWindows then the value is simply IPSMWindowsblah.wav, where blah.wav is the name of your wav file of course)

oh i managed by following this

[Guest martin]

Sorry my fault :oops:

The Value Name should be Script and I wrote Value Name=String by mistake :roll: I've corrected the above now.

In the SystemStart sound I have these values

Category

Script

Sound

Script parameters are

Value Name: Script

Value Data : (blank)

Value Type; REG_SZ

Of course you can change the filename in the Sound Value instead as long as the OS doesn't keep correcting it.

Umm, is there a way to disable the vibration on start?!

I noticed that when you disable the startup sound (or change it like I did) or when you're on silent / airplane mode the vibration is a lot longer!

[Guest martin]

Using the registry editor check the Script Value under SoundCategories/Notification as I suspect there will be a V (for vibrate) showing there.

From the phone menu you can disable the notification vibrate with Programs-Settings-Profiles. Edit active profile and change the Notification type.

Well I do want my other notifications, so I'll leave it. BUT:

Why can't I set a startup sound from my memory card? I set the correct path but it just defaults back to some alarm or something... is it suppose to be possible?

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

There is a delay on bootup before the card is accessable.

Ahh. good point, well I was just trying to save myself some space on the IPSM (the startup sound is 414KB) but I'm good with 4.15MB free on IPSM cause I moved my ringtone (1.3MB) to the Storage Card. this should do it :) thanks.
