It sounds like the change I made affects SMS notifications in call, not voicemail or call waiting announcements. For what type of notification are you hearing 2 beeps plus your wav file.

Why are all your phones acting differently than mine, LOL! Maybe we should return them all and get touch pros.

I'm not able to do any troubleshooting or testing things for a couple of days, I'm just trying to keep up with the forum a bit.

I was getting the 2 beeps while in call and I get an SMS. I was actually having a problem with my MMS not downloading and took it to Sprint and they said my device was not working right and they gave me a new one so I gotta go make all my changes again! I hope I don't have the same issues.

It's that ding I hate and I had to remove it. It jars my fillings. It is dpadctl.wav and it should be banished from the earth.

yes, I have connection/disconnection tone off. And I have phone options connect tone and disconnect tone off too. Like I said, it's exactly the DTMF tone you mentioned that I can't stand.

Is your GPS turned on (not 911-only mode)? Do your programs see the port GPD9: (see my post 1 for details about windows-managed GPS on the Intrepid.

saw your post. yes location is on but no program will recognize the port 9 has thw gps. even googlemaps will onlyh work through managed windows and not port 9. If you can figure google maps to work through the ports then I think that will solve my issue.

also with my sim unlock mention in the other thread i think I can put an att or t moible sim cadr and it will work. I place the phone on gsm only and it pick up a signal and said 3g on the the data.

FYI it's not "port 9" which could be confused with "COM9:" (it's GPD9: ). Edit: I have two hiking GPS programs that recognize the intrepid GPS out of the box, without GPSGate.

Have you tried GPSGate, which I mentioned in my post? There's a free trial.

With your SIM card, were you actually able to make phone calls and connect to data? That would kind of surprise me. If so, please start a new thread as something that huge would deserve its own thread.

Hey Haus is there any way to get the task manager icon back, i accidentally deleted it from the start programs?

Look for taskmgr.lnk inside \Windows. If there is one there, copy that lnk file directly to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

If there isn't one, then using a file manager, select \Windows\taskmgr.exe, "copy", and paste a link inside \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (not sure if the built-in file manager can do this or not, you might need Resco or Total Commander, etc.)

Yea I need to restore this back becuase my quick button for the task manager will not work.

Also do you think you can find the registry key to disable a incall alert when you get a voicemail? The same alert loud is there when a voicemail comes in while you are on the phone. You will of course need a another phone to use, so you can call your # while your on a call.

Ok,

This is NOT working for me to disable sms sent:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=48783

And I mean sms sent when I start from today screen typing someone's name and initiate an SMS to them. It still pops up and says "message sent" afterward and plays a sound.

how do I turn that off?

Also, the start menu is driving me bonkers. I have to scroll all the way down all the icons to get to programs i regularly use. any suggestions?
