hmmm, it didnt created anything for the mail attachments to go to. oh well.

Did you soft-reset (turn off and back on)?

yes i did. i even reinstall it again. now it did create pocketIE in my storage card.. just dont see anything relating to mail attachments.

i even sent myself an attachment and try lookin for it... its in Windows|messaging\attachments and which i believe thats the default location.

It's odd and I cannot advice on this until I have tried this on my own Dash.

SurRealNetworks is also on these forums. Perhaps he could shed some light on this? Did it work in WM5 but doesn't function in WM6 anymore?

Has anyone figured out how to make the callstart beep hack fix? This has to be the most annoying feature of the dash. It even beeps in vibrate mode..

I would personally like to meet the guy that thought up this feature and ask him a few questions! Regardless; the hack goes away once you reset or change profiles...

*** Get ride of the beep at the beginning of each outgoing call
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Callstart\IniVol <-- empty field and type 0 (zero). This hack doesn't stick it seems and I have to keep doing it over and over.

I did this hack only I used PHM Registry Editor and I didn't empty the field first I just used the < (left arrow) to change the existing # to a 0. The beep has not come back on since. And bye the way, I turn my phone off every night and re-start it in the morning and the beep still doesn't come back.

Hmm, I did the exact same thing, and the beep always comes back. Also using PHM Registry Editor. Very strange.

Exactly, who in the world thinks of this as a feature?
Even then, no built in way to turn it off? Stupid Microcrap...


Your explanation is right: "the hack goes away once you reset or change profiles"
That's exactly how/ when mine comes back.

I did:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Callstart\IniVol <- changed to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2\InitVol <- changed to 0

Still doesn't stick. I think we have to intervene somewhere else in the registry about this.

So this morning besides the above, I also did:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart\Defaul tSound <- empty/ delete and changed to none

and

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dialing\Sound <- empty/ delete and changed to none

Soft-reset.



Let's see if this work.

I am surprised no one created a thread dedicated to the Dash & WM6 FAQs.

These threads start out helpful, but quickly turn into 39 pages of misinformation and fogginess.

People will then create new topics and the process will repeat!

I did the hack under the "Normal" Profile and it went away. When I switched to my customized "Quiet" Profile the beep came back, but I just re-applied the hack again under that profile and it's gone. I've been able to successfully switch between "Normal" and "Quiet" and the beep is gone. So try applying the hack to each of the profiles and see if that works for you.

lets stay on topic here guys do some research trying to keep this thread clean

1.Use your Desktop PC and record a wave file with no sound, about 1-2 seconds long. Name the file CallStart.wav

2.Replace the original wave file with the one you just created to \windows\CallStart.wav

Works like a charm


Long Time Lurker......

Good thinkin', and works perfectly!

However, I still want to throttle the guy that came up with this. Someone had to have the IDEA to add this as a feature. "I know, let's make the phone beep, at a rather loud volume, when someone starts a call -- regardless if the phone is on vibrate or silent!" .. Then someone else had to say "Yeah, good idea!"

Brilliant.
