No, it was notify.wma. Really annoying sound. I like the latest generation of sounds, the softer, more ethereal ones on the recent HTC builds and even some of the ones you can find on the Intrepid if you poke around. I happen to like Alarm1.wma.

Updated post 1, new lock screen fix to move lock slider closer to your thumb. Thanks to the good people over at XDA (with a link)...so far it's working on the Intrepid.

Hey Huas when i go to that registry path by defualt I get \windows\dpadctl.mid and I change to \windows\alarm1.wma after changing the sound value, I hear 2 beeps when I get a text message while in call. Am I suppose to be hearing the alarm1 alert or 2 beeps?

You're in the wrong place.

You are in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall

You need to be in:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\InCallBuzz

I am in the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\InCallBuzz directory There are 4 items
(defualt)
Category=InCall
Script=Blank (after changing the P value)
Sound = \windows\dpadctl.wav ( this happens to be my default value before making any changes.

When I replace 'dpadctl.wav with alarm1.wma and test it I get some generic double beep and not the actual alarm1 alert. It doesn't matter what sound I put. Did you have a \windows\ path for the sound value?

I am not sure why mine is different, but I am in the correct directory.

My HCKU\ControlPanel\Sounds\InCallBuzz looks like this:

Category = "InCall"
Script = "p"
Sound = "Alarm1.wma"

During a call, I sent myself an SMS. I heard the sound "Alarm1.wma" in my ear. Try those settings.

For some reason its not working for me, I get a 2 beeps during a call, it like it not recognizing any alert assign for that value.

I'm not sure. I may do a hard reset in the next week or so and start from scratch; if I do I will try these and see if I changed anything else.

I've got this thing working pretty much the way I want, and I'm not getting the sense that very many people are benefiting from this thread, so I'll be taking a bit of a break from researching unless specific needs come up. Real work beckons.

For some reason that particular registry edit keep changing back to its default, I use the phone then go back and check the registry it has changed back.

So far I am satisfied with the device, I like it more after the tweaks. I have a few couple other things I am trying tweak then I should be good. I think I can deal with the 2 beeps for now, no biggie.

I am trying to find what reg key to disable the outgoing alert at the sent message splash screen. You mentioned earlier that you didn't get a sound when your message has been sent. The sound I get is the "stk_call_waiting"

My current sound settings are turned on and I have programs and notification(alarms, reminders) checked off.

This only seems to work only sms, this doesn't work for voicemail alerts while you are on a call. I got a loud voice mail alert while I was on another call.

Would there be any reason why my edits to registry would change back to defualts? I am using the Resco registry editor. This is really weird!
