Everytime I get an incoming call, I always need to use the job wheel and turn the in call volume up to the highest level (its currently one below that on every incoming call).. how do I get the phone to save the volume setting to always be on the highest level?
Same problem here. I would be interested in that too.
Same problem. But only after reboot, until that it's saved. (using Dutty's WM6 Premium)
same prob, only in reboot. Goes back to one below full. Using vpg wm6 3.0
Try a program called "phone alarm". The in-call volume level is one of its profile configuration options. It works pretty well.
Yeah, but why do I need to install a damn program just so it remembers my settings? Thats not a very good solution Doesnt phonealarm have a bunch of today screen and other crap I probably wont use?

Exactly. I don't need any profile app, because I use just Sound On/Off. Why should I waste memory? In addition, I do reboot 2-3 x a week, so it is not a huge problem. Altough some elegant solution would be welcome.
Anyone else have any suggestions besides phonealarm?
Same problem. All versions of WM6 seem to have this problem. Looking for solution too.
Hopefully its fixed in the final version... or, someone finds a solution..
I'd suggest (and I don't have to do it this weekend as doing my loft and have a new phone to sort out too) that someone does a full Reg dump from standard install and then same after that software (which I've never used) is installed and the settings sorted and phone rebooted - and then uses windiff or simlar to find out what's changed.
It should be fairly easy to isolate the reg setting that does the trick, if it is actually a reg setting that we're after.
It could be a reg setting that resets itself after a boot (like the landscapeoffonratation setting) or it might not. If it's not, we're in business. If it is it'll be a bit more complex but still probably still doable.
If someone can isolate that reg setting it's an easy business to either cook it into a rom as it'll just need a rgu file, or to put it into a cab.
Maybe a solution
Hi all,
I would suggest playing around with those registry keys:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/ShellOverrides
and there the following value: SavedVolume
and
HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume
and there the following value: Volume
Didn't try any other value for myself, just a hint
for all thos around who want to try and maybe report
if you have success

I have modified/removed the startupanimation settings in the registry multiple times, but every time I reboot the phone, that horrible animation is back and so are the registry entries. Has anyone figured out a way to disable the animation in wm6? Apparently, someone at AT&T decided they didn't like us turning that off.

The startup animation uses the following files (if you've got the stock AT&T startup):
StartupAnimationEngine.dll
3G Up_01_1.gif
3G_Up.wav
And the following registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\3G Up_01_1.gif"
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\3G_Up.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Volumn"=dword:0000022
You should be able to change "Enabled" to 0 and turn if off.
Thanks, worked like a charm.
Thanks for the quick reply, but as you can see from my initial post, I have already tried changing the registry settings. It's not working. I make the change, reset the phone, the animation still plays and when I go back into the registry, the changes aren't there anymore.

Can i put my own vids in place of the [email protected] stuff? Just asking
Looks like it would be pretty easy to replace that GIF and WAV file with ones of your own.
edit:
Bah, tried replacing the WAV with one of my own and ended up with the animation but no sound. Oh well, its disabled now.

First post- total newbie- but I was just reading through
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_FAQs
and came across the following which may be of help:
I've edited some things in the registry, however, after softreset, all changes have been lost.
A: After you have edited the registry, turn off your device, wait 10-15 seconds, then (while it is still off), press the soft reset button. In this way, your changes will be saved.
Looks like something was wrong with my phone. Maybe because I cancelled the at&t setup. I did a clear memory and let the at&t customizations run and set the reg key again and this time it took. I'll have to look further into what was causing this. Thanks.

No, ur probably just using the bottom botton to reset arent you? That will not save any settings. You have to use the power button. 15 sec isnt needed, jsut turn it back on immediately.
Sorry I left that part out - it's easy to forget and assume it's well known...
For some reason, the registry hive doesn't get saved immedietly following a change with a registry editor. The only way I know for sure is to hold the power button to power off, then back on (not time dependent). There may be some other way to get the registry to store changes, but the proper power cycle (NOT WITH THE SOFT-RESET!) is a sure-fire way.
That's weird. I have never had that problem before. Oh well, that's good information to have. At least i have everything working now. I reset again and cancelled the customizations and then modified the preconfig.txt file and the xml files to install a modified version of the at&t customizations and all is well. I have all the correct network settings minus that annoying proxy setting on the web and all that music and tv bloat.
Thats a great tip and it worked like a charm thanks for posting the info.

You guys must be kidding me! All this other tech. support and no one can take not even ONE minute to look in their reg. and get me the default value's for the above fields. Come on guys! It'll take not even 1 minute to do so! Please help out.
Can't Access Sounds Settings
Even after a hard reset on my Dash I can't access my sounds settings. I can access all other settings except this. I am pretty stumped. I think I am going to try the htc rom unless someone else has an idea. This has me concerned though as the hard reset should have fixed it. It also pretty much locks up the phone when I do it. I can answer calls and such, but I can't open any programs.
Whelp, I tried the update and still no dice. Phone has been great until now. This actually really pisses me off. I can't deal with not being able to change sounds.
Finally figured it out! It was trying to read the memory card which had a movie on it and use the movie as a ringtone option. I still don't know how to turn that off, but at least I know how to be able to change sounds when I need to.
Thanks !!!!!
... for this tip. I already hard-resetted my device twice. I don't know why this happens, but now I know what to do.

problem with calls and text messages
hey guys, i dont know if anybody else has experienced this, but every once in a while, maybe once or twice a day, when i get a call, the phone rings once, and then it tells me i have a missed call. the person who is calling tells me that it rings multiple times and then goes to voicemail. i'm using t-mobile, and using the wm5 that came with it...any help would be great
also, with text messages, its not a problem, but i was wondering if there is anyway i can get the phone to ring and vibrate when i recieve a message. the sound is soo low, that half the time i dont knwo i have a message till hrs later. thanks
omar

Best

No sound for Reminders (T-Mobile WM6)
Hi,
I just installed the new WM6 ROM on my Dash, and the Reminders will no longer play a sound, only vibrate. From Settings->Sounds, changing the sound for reminders does not play it like it does for other settings (Ring tone, New e-mail, etc.). The Menu->Play option from the screen will not play the sound if Reminders is selected.
Anyone else running the new ROM having the same issue?
I am -- thought it was because I was trying to use my own sounds, WMA files that worked fine on WM5. After reading your post, tried changing the reminder sound to anything built into ROM, and found it to be as you described... Hmmm... Maybe it's 'final release candidate' ROM?

Me too!
Ack, I thought this happened because I had been tweaking the registry since I upgraded. If my memory serves me correctly, the alarms worked just after I upgraded, but then they stopped working after I did registry tweaks for several different things. I'll have to go back and remove the changes one by one to see which one did the dirty deed.
Here are the changes that I remember making:
Disable the slider sounds: /HKCU/ControlPanel/JogBar/Settings/EnablePlaySound
Used SetJogBar to re-enable the Joggr functionality
Made the change to enable Voice Command over my BT headseat:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule
I probably did some others, but am not remembering them right now.
B0gey & Chaz: did you make registry changes before you noticed the reminder function stopped working?
C.
I did, but couldn't tell you if it worked before I made these changes, as I hadn't tried changing sounds yet.
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MAPI] (this doesn't work in WM6)
--"AttachPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox\\Attachments"
--"PropertyPath"="\\Storage Card\\Inbox"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
--UseJointStereo set to 0
The only one that seemed to be sound related was the bluetooth change, so I put it back to 1 to rule it out as being related, no change.
I'd be more inclined to think a registry entry to have an effect on all sounds, not just the reminder one?
I haven't touched the registry (or modified any sound settings) at all. I noticed it this morning when a reminder was set to go off and instead of hearing the sound I expected it vibrated.
******* Fix Is Here *******
I spent about 2 minutes in the Registry and found the offending registry value...
Go into the following Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder\
and set the 'InitVol' value from 0 to 2
You will have reminders again, without reboot
I sure hope they aren't launching with this firmware
Thanks... worked, but '2' is a different volume than the rest of the stuff in my Default Profile, looks like you can go up as high as 5? I did, seems to match. Odd there isn't a way to control the Reminder volume level without going into the registry. The Profile volume settings had no effect on it.

Yes, it looks very much like a bug. The profile volume settings should change that, but apparently don't in this version.
mine work fine. I just checked my reg setting and it wasn't 0, it was 3.
I changed a couple settings in my Normal profile and that's it - all from the menu.

Woot...that worked!

That did the trick! Thanks for the fix. I'll have to pass this on to another coworker of mine that ran into this problem too.

Ive sort of tried to search this one (How do I search JUST the Epic 4g section of XDA??) and found no one describing this problem the way I do...
This is my second time having this issue, and the fix for it last time was a pain in the ass, so id like a new fix-
Every app, every aspect of my phone, continuously resets/reloads. This is most noticeable with Hancent SMS, as it saves a message as a draft when you close out of the app... Well, right now, ill be typing and "message saved as draft" will constantly pop up at the bottom of the screen (about once every 2 seconds), and the phone will lag and it will erase 1 or two characters(making me look like I cant type :silly: ).
If this was the only problem, maybe I could live with it, but it affects everything. Launcher Pro randomly/continuously resets. The notification bar often resets while trying to pull it down. The phone app will close or freeze as soon as I start receiving a call. Sometimes it'll play my ringtone without a way for me to answer, other times I never knew I missed a call unless they leave a voice mail... And sometimes its worse than others, sometimes its fine for an hour, then something goes stupid and even a reboot doesn't help. For instance, right now, it was happy. I launched aLogcat to check it out and now the screen orientation REFUSES to stay one way. Even setting the phone down, it switches directions every few seconds, which makes aLogcat reload and therefor its unusable.
I haven't mentioned what im running because Ive had this exact same issue on a totally different rom, almost a year ago, but im running-
build - SleeperROM_3.0.0_FC09
kernal - 2.6.35.7-Shadow-FC09_v1.0
baseband - S700.0.5s.FC09
firmware - 2.3.6
Ive had this happen on EB13 on the EpicExperience ROM too.
SOO, if anyone has advice on how to fix this, id be extremely interested.
On the other hand, last time I had this issue I was convinced it was a corrupt piece of memory somewhere early in the OS, something I corrupt during install, and I went ahead and reflashed and wiped and reflashed and wiped and returned to stock and etc. etc. etc... and that seemed to work... actually, I dont know exactly what part of the process fixed it, thats why I do not want to repeat it unless I have to... BUT, if someone would like to explain/point me in the right direction. I'd like to know how to DELETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and FLASH as CLEAN as possible. (that is, if no one else knows of a fix for my problem)
thanks all!
Err, well only thing I can think of is a truly clean install using Odin. This means do not restore any data from backups. Then slowly begin installing applications 1-by-1 through the play store website (for speed sake) to see if your issue creeps up again.
It also couldn't hurt to format your SD card too. Corrupt data on the SD card can cause some wonky things at times.
get another device...i hope u have the equipment protection plan
Thanks for the advice guys OFF TO THE ODIN MACHINE! haha.
Hello there,
the Problem I have came suddenly, without Change the Environment or any other paramter of my phone.
The screenshot attached Shows everything:
The internal clock in the right top does not synchronise with the correct time.
When I restart the phone everything is fine for some hours, until the clocks start showing different values again.
It doesn't matter if I set the time manually or provide it by carrier.
I have read other threads in german Forums, as this Problem is not brand, but android related.
Anyone has a solution?
This Problem is disgusting, as I can not rely on the time, my Alarm clock or anything else.
Any News?
Wow, this really is a strange one. Did you try to look into Time settings? Maybe fiddle a little bit with it, change the timezone, automatic time update, you know, to force it behave a bit different and then revert it back to the original settings. Maybe it's a very hard to reproduce glitch or something.
Also, there's pretty good chance everything will be OK after a factory reset but I can imagine this is not always an option.
Have had this issue on my 5x and also a tablet I had. A factory reset has been the only answer each time.
