Hi,
I'm trying to change my "Silent" profile to be completely silent. Turning off all ringers / changing to vibrate works except for the call initiation sound (the beep you hear when dialing a contact). How can I turn this off? Thanks in advance!
Specs: Flashed Dash to Excalibur / WM5
The 'beep' file is windows/callstart.wav if you would like to get rid of it. But I've never really cared to do anything about it.
*edit* won't let me delete it. probably need to replace it with a wilent second or so
*edit again* yep, you can replace it. if you did the silent startup/shutdown edit than just copy T-Mobile start up and rename it to Callstart
you can also use a registry editor to change this. look throught the other threads concerning that topic for more information.

then use a program like total commander to replace it with a silent 'track' like the one used in silent startup/shutdown
Make this change to your registry:
Shut Off the Beep that Occurs When You Initiate a Call
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2
Change String/Value InitVol to 0
possible error

This is incorrect, at least on my phone (WM6).
Here's what I had to do to mine:
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change String/Value InitVol to 0
i noticed, that my windows applications are silent with the silent profile. but some applications do sounds anyway.
can i avoid that?
need default sound for in call2
Can someone telll me how to get the default sound back for incall2? I deleted it when I was trying to get rid of the sound made when a call is initiated using the incorrect instructions previously posted. The one below works for me but I still need the other sound back. I believe it is related to the busy signal.

Thanks for that, I hate that beep and the setting for WM5 didn't work.
DELETE. Wrong spot. Thanks!
Hey everyone, sorry to dig this up, but I tried this registry edit shown above, and every time I turn my phone off, and back on, it comes back. Any way to permanently get this registry edit to stick? Thanks a ton! HATE THE BEEP! I have WM6... Thanks!

i don't know about wm6 but wm6.1 usually you can go to start/setting/sounds/ and scroll around to what sounds you don't want and turn them off.
also use the search forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480671 i came up with this and there's two or three posts about this. same kind of questions just three different posts.
I'm referring to the call initiation beep. It's a registry deal. Not a keypad thing. I dont care about numbers beeping, but every time you call someone, it beeps, regardless of what the volume or profile is set to. Please read the previous posts in this thread to understand a bit better.
Then change it....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change Value InitVol to 0
Right, Like I said, I've done that. It's the fact that when I have to soft reset my phone, IE turn it off for something like a meeting, and then I turn it back on, the beep comes back. Is this something I have to do every time I turn the phone off? Like I said in my original post, I've made that registry edit. But I want it to be permanent.
I saw a registry edit for the beep whenever you hit the green talk button to turn it off and I remember doing it but for some reason when I reset the phone it doesn't stay...does anyone happen to know of a way to get it to go off?

The trick will be to find something in HKLM rather than HKCU. Typically, settings in HKLM stay through resets/profile changes/etc while HKCU is only based on that current session (it's Windows after all).
However, I just did a test (including a reboot) and will confirm that if you change the values in HKCU and you DO NOT change your profile (from normal to vibrate, silent, etc and then back), you can keep the beep off.
Here are the values that you will need to change to (open your favorite registry editor):
- HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart > InitVol (0)
- HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2 > InitVol (0)
With those two changes, your "beep" should go away as long as you do not change your profile. I have no, however, figured out a way to keep the beep across multiple profiles (then again, I haven't experimented enough).
i saw a cab posted some where to remove the beep but i forgot where i saw it
drop the attached callstart.wav into the windows directory of your device and allow it to replace the original. the only way ive ever been able to turn that most annoying beep off is to replace the original file with this blank .wav file. enjoy your nag free calling!
I was wondering why the regs in a rom keep changing back to original settings
I use regedit to change things, but everytime i change the push mail to 1
after a couple hours it back at 0. so push mail is off again.
I thought that maybe theres a reg that keeps restoring the settings.
But with other settings it doesnt change back, like the wake up at sms.
Because i found a reg in HKEY/local_machine/RegPersisted and its set to 1
i dont know for sure if this has something to do with it, but i think that this whats keep turning back the reg settings.
I also found the same regkey in HKEY/current_user
Could someone explain this to me??before i turn it to 0 and mess things up
Thanks in advance
Are you by any chance using the keypad lock feature by long pressing the "end call" button? It seems to set some settings back to default. I'm not sure if this is the case, but you could try not using the keylock and see if the settings keep their user set value.

What's the problem? If you mess things up, just do a hard reset...
Give it a try, and let us know about the results
HastaSSSS
regedit
i changed the regkey for the persisted reg to 0 but no effect. after couple of hours when i check its back to 1.
same for the push mail,its back at 0.
How the f*#k can i keep the settings i make.
i find it so strange that that reghack for the sms wakeup event is good , but every otherthing i change keeps going back to standard
Well i was looking through the settings and looking for aa way to make it vibrate when i reeaceive an email does anyone know how to set it up. Im on Kavanas rom
If you go into Settings > Sounds, you should be able to set up an audible alert, and I may be wrong, but I think you might need to set an audible alert for the vibrate function to work. Anyway, after that, go to the profile you're using (I'm assuming it's "Vibrate") and click menu, then edit. There should be a setting for email alerts...just set it to vibrate and save.
This is what the method is in the Rose roms, and to the best of my recollection what it was in Ricky's v24 remake of Kavana, so if it doesn't work, I'd wait for someone with that rom.
Anybody knows of any tool/hacks to turn of ALL vibrations on the phone e.g. in a situation when vibrate is turned off, certain apps manage to vibrate.
There is the tool to remove 3 key vibration, but can there be a key for no vibrations at all? The one that particularly annoys me is for new messages in Whatsapp. The developers are too busy to roll out any sort of update or fixes to address a 'toggle' switch, but the likes of KiK have that option.
I'm not too sure if it's possible to have a phone-wide hack that would prevent apps from having access to the vibrator function. Perhaps some cautious digging within the registry might bring some answers, but I too have looked both here and google and couldn't find really anything to completely disable vibrate on all levels on my phone.
Maybe I'll do some digging before I call it a night and see what I can find.
we can't do that

I've been into the registry a few times, but cannot see a system wide vibrate off. There must be a way in which at least the vibrate intensity could be controlled system wide. Digging further ..
