Hi everyone,
Just recently picked up the O2 xda 2s unit, given to me free of charge by o2 for continuing my contratc with them. I must say im pretty impressed by the unit as a whole, yes it has its bugs but tell me which phone hasnt lol. I have SE P900 which likes to keep crashing on me every so often even though it has the latest firmware on it.
But anyways im new here and wanted to say hello and also ask a question that may have been asked before but i couldnt see it anywhere so here i am
Right is there any way i can put a different tone to the one that is already on there for the sms, mms and email alerts???. I couldnt see for the life of me anywhere on the pda where you could change the incoming tone alert unless im blind or something lol. On my P900 you can easily change or put any alert tone for your mms, sms and emails etc but so far havent been able to do that with my XDA2S.
So does anyone have any ideas if this is possible or not???...also not forgetting is there anyway the phone could be louder or vibrate when you have an incoming sms, mms or email as i tend to miss most of them when they do arrive.
Thanks for any advice
Hmmm so no one knows if they can do this or anything???
I have the t-mobile mda III so it might be slightly different with the menus however you might be able to make it work for yours.
As you wil know you are unable to select any other file than those already in the sounds and notifications menu however you can add an extra ring tone but that only works for phone calls.
As a work round when your phone is being connected to your pc you can explorer your device either thru my computer or Active Sync. This will then allow you go to the Windows directory like you would on a normal computer. If you then copy your file that you want as your sms tone to here you will then be able to select it from sound and notifications.
Another good one I found is that by changing the sound files in the windows folder you can also have a very nice sound everytime a menu pops up plus a whole host of different event sounds.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction as it works on the mda III
When I get a voicemail notification, I only get a normal text message.
Does anyone knows how to activate the voicemail icon ?
I saw threads about Orange UK, but nothing for frenchies.
Thanks
Have you tried the solution for Orange UK ?
i.e. copy in the "old" sms_providers.dll ?

Bonjour Gregouille
I am on Orange France network and I have been using the Orange UK tweak mentioned above and it works like a charm.
Go for it is is safe, the only thing is to make sure that you only install the certificates and copy the DLL, do NOT tweak the registry yourself.

Hi
Thanks for your answer. I still get a standart text message...
Which ROM do you have ?
Thx
Have you soft-reset?
What do the text messages say?
I did soft-reset.
the message is sent from 888
and says "888" messagerie orange : 1 message
Hmmm, that just looks like a standard txt message.
The sms_providers.dll intercepts TXT messages from orange that simply say "[email protected]". The dll interpets this to turn on the VM indicator. There is a similar one for turning it off.
Do you have another phone you can try this in?
In fact, have you ever had a VM icon on this phone with Orange France?
I have ROM 3.24.0.4
Probably no Voicemail Icon in Orange(Int), except for Orange(UK)
I wonder whether Orange(FR) does support the Voicemail Indicator Icon at all, and I rather doubt they do.
Back in history, the Voicemail Indicator Icon as well as the AlternateLineService (ALS) were introduced as additional services for the then called "PCS-1800" (now better known as GSM1800) standard, in a specification call "CPHS". This is why you'd hardly find a GSM900 singleband phone supporting these features. Later it became part of the GSM-Specs and was adapted even by some traditional GSM900 providers, e.g. A1(AT).
However, not all providers support CPHS, even not all (traditional) PCS-1800 providers. For example, neither eplus(DE) nor Orange(CH) support the Voicemail Indicator Icon (as mentioned above, the network needs to send a certain message like "[email protected]" to control the icon's apperance).
As Orange(FR)/Francetelecom used to be a traditional GSM-900 provider, I hardly doubt they support any part of the CPHS specs at all. For instance, they do not offer AlternateLineService, do they? Therefore french customers will probably have to cope with traditional (anoying) SMS-Voicemail notification as the rest of the Orange world(except UK), unfortunately:-(
Cheers,
Chris
Bit in late in joining this thread, but I'm guessing it hasn't been resolved. I've just written an alternate fix for the Orange UK voicemail icon problem. It should be possible to write one for your Orange FR text messages that turns them into proper VM notifications. Let me know if you are interested, probably wouldn't take much effort at all (in theory!).

I sent gregouille something to do what was requested. After some time I chased it up to get some feedback and he told me Orange France had changed their vm notification and so he no longer needed this fix.

I'm using a Touch Diamond with mexican provider TELCEL. Any time I call my voice mail, just after I hangup, I receive a SMS from "TELCEL" with apparently no text (there may be an invisible control character), and the VM icon is never cleared.
I wonder if a fix could be done for the Diamond and Telcel like the one you did.
Thanks for any comments.
Carlos
In theory yes, this should be possible. Interesting that your VM light comes on by some method, but does not go off by the same.
Could you export the text message (with PIM Backup or similar) to find out if there are are any hidden characters in it. Otherwise may need to send you a version that will dump the text out to a file or something.
At the moment I'm in heavy revision mode for some important exams in February, so I can't promise to look at this till then, but there is a good chance I'll get 5 minutes and need a break from the study.

I'm attaching a file with 3 messages, exported with PIMBackup.
I received the first one after just calling the voicemail from the cellphone to check it was empty.
The second one after leaving a voice mail from another phone (I received these messages in my previous non-windows phone).
The third one arrived after calling the voice mail from the cellphone to delete the message.

Yes, I cleared the icon by setting ...vmail\line1\unread\count to zero (BTW it was FFFFFFFF), and when the second SMS arrived it was set.
Thanks!
Ok, so I had 5 minutes and modified a previous one to do what you need. Send me a PM with your email and I'll send you the test cab file. If/when it's been tested and working I'll post the cab here for everyone else who may find a use for it.
Used the following logic:
if (sender is "TELCEL") {
if (message length is 0) vm_icon_off()
else if (message contains "Usted tiene un nuevo mensaje de voz.") vm_icon_on()
}

It's working perfectly, thanks a lot!
After further testing, I found the icon is turned on every time I softreset the phone, even if the voice mail is empty. I can clear it in the registry or by calling the voice mail an hanging. After that it works fine with your rules.
Any idea why would a softreset turn on the icon?

In a word, no. Maybe that text message you get that turns the light on results in another more persistent voicemail flag being saved that also needs to be reset. That's just a guess.
I've attached the cab file with the TELCEL fix in case anyone else wants a copy in the future.

Ok, thanks for your comments. A simple mortscript in the startup folder fixes this last problem.
Script attached.
Have a nice day!

After I upgraded to WM6, I lost the "default" text message alert tone. I dont know if you guys know which one Im talking about, but I'd really like to get it back!
If anybody still has it, could they email me the file? or tell me where I can download it back.
The alert tones that come with WM6 suck and I don't know where to download text message alert tones..
Thanks!
Hi Chrissystar.
I dont know what "default" alert tone you were using but most of them are stored on " My windows Mobile" in the windows folder.
But you can use any small .wav file as your tone I was using Rom 4. something and could play the catchphrase. But I know have upgraded to 6.1 and cant play it anymore. I keep getting Memory to low to play. so looking for a new one.
If you have any Music on your phone just highlight it with your pen and within the menu that pops up it asks if you want to use the file as your ringtone.
any way if I find some decent text tones I will post a link to you. OK
I Cant find this anywhere and wondered if its possible to change the sound/alert that is heard when an SMS (not MMS) has been sent.
I'm sure I managed it before but nothing appears under 'sounds and notifications' and I cant remember how I did it before if I did at all!
At present i see a pop up box saying 'Message Sent' and hear an alert tone that I'm not keen on, its certainly not what it was before a recent o2 rom upgrade. Currently its the same sound as the sound heard when youre SMS cannot be sent (because of no signal) whereas before these two sounds were most definately different to one another.
Ive taken a look here which is a starting point
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc...eep-popup.html
this information is not quite what i need because....
There is still no differentiation between the alert sound of an SMS that was sent successfully or one that has failed, since the alert sound falls under one category of "Default" notification accross the phone.
It's kind of half of the info I need, if you like.
I have no idea how this was different on my previous 02 ROM but if it helps to explain a little more then the "Default" pop up alerts were "Alarm2" (IE: message not sent & all other notifications/alerts) & the SMS Sent successfully alert/pop up was "Alarm1".
Im guessing this would need an additional registry key adding in the notifications part of HKCU, but I wouldnt know where to start
Terribly sorry think I found my answer here, yet to test
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1449729&postcount=2
EDIT-----
NO that wasnt right, still searching......................
Did anyone ever find a solution to this?
I'm looking to delete the annoying SMS sent tone but just keep the 'Message sent' speech bubble - is this possible?
"same problem" here ...
edit: done, i've managed to put a mp3 sound ^_^
Please share how you resolved issue?
sorry ... i didn't concentrate when i read the topic .. i didn't know how to change the sms ringtone .. sorry
Resolved
Found out how - you need to edit registry and replace the target .wav file with whatever one you want to use (must be stored as a .wav file in windows directory).
Navigate to HKEY_Current_User > Control Panel > Notifications > Default and then change Wave string to point to your new .wav file.
I recorded a 0.25 second blank .wav file & put it in windows folder so no annoying sound now, just the speech bubble notification & the envelope icon pops up which is fine.
When i recieve an e-mail using the stock mail client if i don't look at it the nofication sound repeats at regular intervals. Does anybody know how i can change this to play the notification sound once only. I can't find the setting anywere!
I am using robis hd v14of rom.
This is something I happen to notice aswell.. may be the 2.29 update? didn't happen before.. I get 'new email' sounds untill I 'open' the message..
