I use One2Free (a Hong Kong provider), and I setup call forward commands in my phone book.
The command is in this format:
Setup Forwarding - **21*<number>#
Cancel - ##21#
When I dial it, the phone knows I'm dialing a command, and do not use the normal call interface. Instead, it's a balloon on the taskbar, telling me to wait with a OK button. Once the command is sent, it shows another balloon to tell me it's done, again with a OK button. This final balloon is accompanied by a sound effect.
However, I cannot locate that sound effect in the settings. I played every sound effect listed and none of them match.
How can I customize this? I would like to change it to something else, or even turn it off.

On vodacom I dial *111# for a USSD menu that allows me to check account balances etc.
It makes an anoying "synching" sound. I don't want to turn off sound on my device just for this particular annoyance. Any ideas?
Are you sure it's the USSD menu?
Mine doesn't (just checked), and neither did my Qtek 1010 (Although it coped poorly with the feature).
Granted, I'm not using a Blue Angel, and my i-mate is ROMmed to the hilt, but surely the menu should just trigger a sound event (that I certainly don't have) which you can switch off?
Does it do the same when you Look4It (*120*5555# I think) ?
Yup I'm sure, makes a very loud and anoying sound upon connecting to USSD. The window title says USSD as well.
Hello! it's a quite old topic, but probably someone still need a solution:
The sound is specified here:
HKСU\ControlPanel\Sounds\USSDBuzz\
does anyone know how to stop the o2 notification noise when you send a text message? the one that chimes and then onscreen tells you your balance?
also does anyone know how to get the keyboard to stop autocompleting words (or sudjesting words as i type) as it slows down the input speed of the keyboard
Not sure if this is what you are after:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=1 (Dword, ''Settings' key may need to be created) - this disables the "Message Sent" pop-up when sending SMS/MMS
To turn off the auto complete goto Start/Settings/Input and theres a tab for "Word Completion".
tried the autocomplete and it worked but the sms notification couldnt find the registry key. i dont need the bubble removed but just the ding sound everytime i send a text etc to stop it confirming my credit amount by noise ebveytime i use the phone or text etx its the notify wma but i cant change it
simple my friend...

At last - a question I can answer without sounding like a newbie!!!
The balance reminder is a sim feature activated by O2, all you need to do is call PAYG customer services and they will turn it off for you....simple...
Hope this helps....
i wanted the balance reminder to tell me how much credit is left but just wanted the notify sound deactivated cause its so anoying. this is part of the phone and 02 wont be able to just turn of the noise and i cant delete or change the notify.wma tone in windows as it is read only otherwise i could write over with a silent notify.wma tone.
in sounds and notifications under notifications
you can pick messaging: new text message
and uncheck play sound
hi did that but that only stopd the sound on incomming messages but any that i send (and after making a call as well) still set the niose off.
Originaly posted this in the Nike Accessory section, but this device has worked on a couple of my phones so I thought it would be great to post here a well. I decided to write this post after testing for two weeks to make sure my excitement has held up to the initial expectations and to see if any woes present itself. So far I stand by my initial comment; this is the best Windows Mobile accessory I have found to date.
I originally bought this device as a GPS for my car and thought the bluetooth capability would be an added bonus. The handsfree capability of this device is by far the most impressive use of bluetooth I have seen. I have only tested this on the HTC Touch Dual 20 Key (Nike), compatibility and functionality may vary for other devices. So far no real problems; it connects, it works as stated and quite well too.
Highlighted capbilites in order of importance/functionality (to me):
(see screen shots for examples)
Handsfree Bluetooth carkit
Phonebook retrieval with Spell/Search Function
(dynamicaly uses phone address book not programed GPS contacts)
On Screen Dailer/Phone Pad.
Incoming Call Notification (image shows number but also displays name)
Call History (From phone, not GPS)
Phone Status (Signal/Battery)
Loud Speaker
Great Mic w/External Mic hookup
Voice Comand/Dail Compatible
General use description - Use images below for reference:
Device connects within 6-20 seconds after initial GPS bootup(about 20 seconds)
When calls come in there is an easy to use screen with Answer or Ignore option.
To make calls goto the main screen, press phone icon and select either phonebook where you can spell name and it will narrow down, or you can voice dail or use your call records or look up Point of interest and select dail from the results.
Call options let you pull up the dailer, mute the phone or transfer audio back to the phone while you are in a call. You can navigate while in a call, press the red call status button in the map mode to to see the status or end a call quickly.
I have so much more to tell you about but I will leave with this and for anybody to ask questions.
Like everything in the world there are always flaws or downsides. Here are a few (not necisarily flaws but fixes that would have made it better)
I listed voice dail last because the use is great but the audio feedback/voice prompt is quiet and I felt was least usefull in comparison to the other features. (using MS Voice Command 1.6) Voice recognition works great with the Nike but it requres a few key presses to initiate through the on screen buttons.
This GPS can send and receive text messages and read incoming aloud but this feature is not compatible with this phone. Maybe we could fix this another time friends!
Slow Device Bootup (20 secs), but fast paring most times after bootup. I have this device permanetly mounted and the slow boot doesnt bother me ever; its rare when I get a call before I can even pull out of the garage but If I do it will connect within seconds.
Thats all for now but if your interested this device retailed for about 600usd, I got mine on clearance for about 350usd.
Have a good one

How do you get Voice Command 1.6 to respond? I have a Nuvi 680 and Tilt but nothing happens when I press Voice Dial.
this very annoying everytime I work out at the gym and put the focus in my pocket this "I cant hear you" message comes up, just wondering if theres somewhere in the registry that can be used to make a toggle switch in systems ? If possible?
it's because the start button is being pressed, which triggers the voice command. goto settings -> speech
Not sure if all carrier versions have this or not....
I can access my voicemail three different ways on the phone. I can hit the voicemail notification and it will call the voicemail number. Or, I can go to the dialer and hit and hold the number 1 until it dials the voicemail number. Or, I can click on the red icon on the launcher screen with what I'm guessing is an image of white tape spanning between two reels.
My question is mostly about the icon version of getting my voicemail. When I click the icon, I can see a date, time and duration of prior voicemails I've received. If I click on one, it brings me to a screen with an outline of a head and shoulders, and three buttons below. The button on the left pulls up an additional volume control, named "call" (in addition to the normal 4 volume sliders I usually get). Even with the volume maxed, I can barely hear the voicemails through the ear speaker. If I hit the "speaker" icon, I can hear the message quite loudly through the bottom speaker, but no matter what I do, I can barely hear it through the ear speaker, as the volume is just too low.
If I dial in to my voicemail using either of the first two methods above, everything is nice and loud with no issues.
Any thoughts on how to get the volume higher while using the voicemail app? Maybe a hidden setting somewhere?
Also, I may be remembering this incorrectly, but I thought that when the phone was new, it would take the voicemail and do a voice to text and display the text on screen (is that visual voicemail?) For whatever reason, the phone no longer does this. Is that something that is built into the phone, or something that Verizon includes? And if it is a Verizon service, is it a pay service or is it free? How do I access that voice to text ability for emails?
TIA,
Andy
