Startup sound issue - XV6800

Hi all. have the xv6800 for Verizon.
Since out of the box, i never had a startup sound, OR shutdown down.
I searched my windows directory for phoneon.wav, and Startup_sounds.wav, and neither are present.

So i had a small .wav file that i renamed Startup_sounds.wav, and placed it in \windows..
but now the phone will not boot in normal mode at all. it just keeps recycling itself trying to boot over and over.
I have to boot in safe mode, kill the Startup_sounds.wav file, and then it boots fine.
I have tried a coupe different .wav files (1 as small as 2kb) and it still won't boot..

am i missing something. is the xv6800 actually not supposed to HAVE startup sounds ?

my HKLM\Software\HTC\Startupanimation has the WAV location identifed as \windows\Startup_sounds.wav... so i don't know what the problem might be ?

thanks for any input!

I noticed this to and had same issues but only i used a tweak program to set the sound and now I just live without until I find a solution. Been making sounds and tweaking regisrty for the sliding sounds just fine though Its cool

What hack do you have for changing the sound of the sliding keyboard when opening it? Thank you ahead of time for any response to this thread! I have the Verizon XV6800 and I use a program called PDA.net to tether my laptop and use it as a modem. I typically get 115kb/per sec. I do this to avoid paying Verizon the extra $15 a month! My question is what are all of you doing? Is there a better program? or way to obtain higher speeds? I thought the xv6800 was Rev O. Anyway please share your thoughts...and also let me know what the best Tweaks & Hacks are! Love you guys! Thanks!
