hi,
i want to change alarm sound in my mobile rather than preinstalled ,,,i want to play another sound.
plz tell me how?
thanks.
Copy your sound file (*.wav) in \Windows directory,
then goto "Sound and Notifications" to change it.
here is another method that i use.
Open explorer and copy your desired tones in My Device/Windows/Rings.
Now goto home screen and click on settings.
Click on menu, there u click on All Settings
U will see option of Clocks and alarm, goto alarms, set the time and then click on drag down button. u will see ur copied tone there, select that and here you go!!

Hi does anyone know of a registry hack to change the left soft 'contacts' button in the phone app. I'd like to change it so it doesnt open the default contacts app but a contacts program of my choosing.
Many thanks.

you can try the attached .txt document, plus a few more tweaks you may be interested, as well.
Please read very carefully and be cautious not to mess up your ppc.

What you want is called SoftKey Applet, filename is: SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl
Or depending on what you want to do you can download Taskmanager v2.7. Kill poutlook.exe(windows folder) and replace it with whatever .exe you want controlled by that softkey. Just rename the exe you want to poutlook. If it still gives you a read-only error kill cprog.exe also and just repeat the above steps.
Where are the sounds (for rintones, alarms, etc.) stored on a WM6 device?
I want to change the alarm sound on my phone and I don't like the built-in list of alarm sounds and want to add my own.
So, two questions:
1. where are the alarm sounds stored?
and
2. what format can you use for alarm sounds?
BTW I want to change my alarm to sound like a standard telephone ring so that I can set it to go off in the middle of meetings to pretend that someone is calling me to let me escape these ****ing wastes of time. It never fails.
In windows folder you will find another folder its name is Rings you can add your fav. files by copy and paste method then if u would like to change tones, you can do that by settings-> Personal -> Phone
oh I forgot!!!!
.wmv .mp3 .... are usually used format
I think for the alarm sounds, you're restricted to just wav (maybe wma but i've not confirmed that) but they have to be in the windows folder, not the rings as stated above.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
you are right Lordsmiff!!!
I am so sorry
I do not know why I chose tones option for alarm

To add further, alarm and notification tones are restricted to WAV format.
Put then in \windows\ folder.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Does anyone have any good WAV "alarms" that sound like telephone calls (ringtones)?
Cheers.

Does anyone know the location of or the name, of the sound files for 'sms sent' and 'delete confirmation', please?
There is no option to change these in Settings>Sounds & Notifications. The files don't appear to be located in the Windows folder either...
Anyone please help?
I'm just getting to grips with my new WM6 device
Is there a way to customize startup sounds or error sounds? I would like to change the sound of those, but can't seem to figure out how. Anyone help with that??
- Just copy any wma, mp3 or wav format file(s) into /windows/ directory.
- Select Settings/Sound/Advanced/Notifications
- Pick the Event you want and select the Ring tone from the drop-down menu
Enjoy~
Thats for the regular sounds....I am looking for a way to customize the STARTUP sound like when you turn the phone on and off and the error sounds. I appreciate the help but I am aware of how to change the regular sounds....just not sure if there is a way to change the start and error.

Jeez, i dont understand why they make it so complicated! Even WM 5.0 Smartphone edition was more fluent. I didnt have to move sound files all over the dam place just for specific events. Why in the hell cant it just let you Point to a file instead of stupidly being locked into one directly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is their a way to somehow change What directory its pointing to at least?
Guess i could just delete all the default sounds and put my own in their (if it will let me delete them)
Any Ideas? is their a way to have the sounds point to a custom location?
Again.. Can you change the pointed directory for event sounds out of the windows directory?
I've been lookin for the answer to this since my sprint mogul
I could be wrong but it sounds like you may need to look at flashing a custom splash screen. You can attach custom sounds to the splash screen to be whatever you want. I'm not to sure about the error sounds. I would assume you can associate an event to a sound file and call it a day.

Just tested this. It can change the general ring tone, but not for each person, and im not sure if i just dont know how to use it, but its realyl diffacult to goto other directory's to find new sounds.
hi all
i will like to assign my own music as alarm tone, any1 knows how to do it?
and i like to use SE panel 02. just wondering can i change the background with my own picture instead of the colours scheme they offer?
recently i realise my phone ringtone keep jumping from vibrate and ring into ring only by itself. so fustrating. any suggestion?
thanks
For ingtones you can use any mp3s, for message tone you need to use a WMA or WAV. file which you have to put directly into the windows folder... for Alarm tone you can only use a WAV. file which also goes directly into the windows folder.....
Check your ringtone setting to see if you have set it to ring then vibrate...
To change the picture on the panel you need to get 2 pictures one vertical and another horizontal (you can use the same picture but you need 2 files) rename one to "00h" (horizontal) and one to "00v" for vertical. Then place them in program files, panels, sonyericsson panels, images folder. Notice theres alots of files with these kind of names you can replace any of them by renaming your file but this will over write the original colour backgrounds in the panel.
It is possible to use a MP3 file for message tone
No you would need to convert it to WMA or WAV

i cant paste anything inside the windows folder. whenever i go into windows folder, there is no space for mi to hold my touch for a paste. there is no paste option.
regarding the ring and vibrate, everytime i set to "ring n vibrate", after a while it will set back by itself to "ring"
any idea how come everytime i encounter error with tmail.exe also?
thanks pal i sucessfully changed my alarm tone and background for my SE panel.

My text message tone is a MP3 file so it IS possible
How can turn off the sound of taking a picture? remove shutter file from the directory system/media/audio/UI and change of name does not work. the sound is still there.
edit
Have found the perfect solution. With this operation, the camera's menu appears an additional option on / off shutter
Root access required of course, and I used Root Explorer to do the following:
In Root Explorer, navigate to the following location:
/system/csc and look for a file called 'others.xml'.
Long-press on this file and select 'Open With', and then select 'Text Editor'.
Scroll all of the way to the end and look for the following:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>
Insert the following line just before the </FeatureSet> code.
Code:
Select Code
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Then pressing the 'Back' button will automatically save the file and back-up the original in the folder.
Restart your phone.
Now when you go into the camera, tap on the settings, so you get camera settings, video settings, and the general settings in a pop-up, press the settings icon/tab and scroll down and you can now select to toggle the sound on/off (second-last option).

Well I just went into settings and selected mute. I think that was the simplest option.
Then you have to mute all sounds. This modification allows you to regulate only the shutter sound.

In the same directory is the file "customer.xml". Look for the line
<Multimedia>
<Camera>
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
</Camera>
</Multimedia>
Simply set the sound to "off" and you're done.
