Vibrating Keys Trap!!!
 

I Uninstalled the vibrating keys application but now my default key sound is malfunctioning. i would like the original soun back when i dial a number..i dont think it requires a hard reset..can someone help??

LOL. not be a jerk but kinda sounds funny. Why did you uninstall it?

no u have every right to laugh, I asked myself that same question when it was all said and done. I'm an explorer, it sounded like a cool feature and being brand new to the ppc world everything is fascinating to me...so can u help??

Honestly, I have not uninstalled it on mines, and afraid of uninstalling it now. From what i recall the 6700 version of this cab had the same issue and i think there was a fix. I dont know about the 6800 version thou. Maybe someone else knows. but yes a hard reset will cure ti thou.

hmm sorry. I just ported it over to the mogul. I assumed the 6700 one was perfect.

just looked in the registry. it doesn't change the values back. Will make a fix today.

hmm ok apparently there is no way to delete reg strings with a cab file without making a custom dll. i only have vc++ express, so I can't use the wince sdk. So here is the manual fix. make sure your registry looks like this. aka. add the sound dword

Wait, wait..see you have to understand, not everyone is advanced..i dont know what those mean that you just typed..where do those codes go..please simplify

Use a registry editor and go to those reg keys and delete them...
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

this is the key path same as a folders path on any computer
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf1]
the delete the keys he has noted...

no dont delete. make sure your registry looks like it.

Oh thank God you just responded..ok..let me try it

i just set all the registry keys for numbers 0-9 to the corespondents stated above..it's still acting up with a different funny sound each time i dial a number

did you set them as dwords?

If all fails.. hard reset baby!

I'm in the same boat. I tried the vibrating key dealio and don't care for it, so i deleted it and now my dial pad is acting all funktified, giving different sounds when I key in a phone number, or sometimes no sound, delayed, etc. I'm looking at the tcpmp thread and i think i'm gonna hard reset. Not a bad idea anyways so I can get rid of some of this crapola I don't want anyways.

I dont think there's a need for hard reset, because im looking at the registry now and i think i just have to make the right adjustments...can someone tell me what they have on there mogul registry so i can put the same thing in my phone?

Hey EB do u want me to put it in exactly as u have it..example, dword:00000005

Wow... I surprised you guys didn't like this. I personally love it a lot. Feels good to get some feedback. Just leave it for about a week and you will see wha I mean.

Sinn it's pointless, not only that it drains battery life. i miss the sound

go to each registry key. Add a new DWORD called sound. for the value follow the chart thing i posted before.

Hard Reset..here i come! Thanx alot EB

why are you blaming me. I told you how to fix it.

No, No, No..i wasn't being sarcastic..i just felt that i had rearranged a couple of entries during the process, the buttons didnt even go down when i pressed them so i thought the best thing was that hard reset..so i was actually Thanking you.

buttons don't press down
 

My buttons also don't press down, is there a fix for this also? The only one the press down (aka changes button color when pressed) is the back button. I don't wanna do a hard reset.

Also I've tried changing the registry like you said, but after a soft-reset, the values go back to the way it was before !!

Thanks.

All the values worked for me, except # and *. Mobile Registry Editor said 0000000A wasn't a valid value when trying to create a new DWORD. If I modify the existing DWORD, it accepts the value, but doesn't fix the tone. Any advice?

what buttons are you talking about? the progress screen?

Don't soft reset after changing reg values. the changes wont be put into rom and they are erased when soft resetting. turn it off then back on

make sure your entering the values in hex. not decimal.

Mobile Registry Editor wouldn't allow me to set an option hex, binary or decimal, so I used PHM and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help!

LOL! I liked this .cab file. I dont miss the sounds.. i rather had tactical feedback. But yes.. sorry for the issues it has cause some of you.

Okay guys, now im available to help being that i started the thread and it was my proble. I hard reseted after screwing up the whole thing. If you have a mogul im going to give you the default registries on mine..Put it in the way you see it, it should work for this is the default settings.

Category= Feedback
Script= p
Sound= 0(00000000) This is for the number 0


Category= Feedback
Script= p
Sound= 1(0X000001) This is for the number 1


Category= Feedback
Script= p
Sound= 2(0X000002) This is for the number 2

and so on..you get the drift. your "Ending" should be...

Category= InCallFeedback
Script= p
Sound= Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav

The vib lasts too long. When I'm dialing a number... by the time one vib finishes I'm usually half way through dialing.

What I'd like is if the vib were as long as the one you get when you soft reset.

This is why you always to a FULL backup of your phone before you install new apps and experiment. That way, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup and have your phone the way it was before you 'tweaked' it and screwed it up. SPB Backup is a great program for doing this. It saves a lot of time when something happens to your phone and you need to hard reset/reinstall. Just a thought :)

Re: Vibrating Keys Trap!!!
 

I ran through your uninstall instructions. The sounds come back for one press then there is no sound again. In the registry, the Sound name is changing to: \Windows\dpadctl.mid all dialer buttons. Can you tell me what's wrong? I appreciate it.
