p.s. By the way i have change the sounds for the reminders , beam , connection disconnected , connection established , Activesync : End sync , but the Activesync : Begin sync does not sound when i put it in the cradle . . . it does sound when i take it off , but not when its sync´s , also i have downloaded e-mail trough a connection from my movil a sony ericsson z600 and it doesnt play the sound that i gave it to play . . . what am i doing wrong . . . i really like my sounds , but i just can hear them , like i said its only those two that give me trouble , Activesync : Begin sync and e-mail , please help !!!!

Neo001...

I like you but you need to stop bolding all your postings... its considered rather rude to be posting in this manner.

I think your answer was posted in the forum at Brighthand...

No problem... as I said I have seen you on the boards... and I like you, I know that what you are doing was not intentional... just thought I would bring it to your attention. Thanks for not taking it the wrong way.

As for what you are trying to do... you should be able to rename the existing files... "LowBatt.wav" to something like "OldLowBatt.wav"

Then take the wav file you want to use... and rename it "LowBatt.wav" and move it into the Windows directory... I just check it with "Loudest.wav" and it worked fine.

Just to be safe rename the files you are changing so you can easily change them back... they can't be erased... but giving them a naming convention makes them easy to find and identify.

Hi guys,

That trick no longer works now that WM2003 is the OS. Worked fine with the PPC2000 and PPC2002 OS though. 8)

Don't Panic!

Well I don't know about whether it works on all WM2003 machines.. all I know is that on my Hp2210... I seem to have no issues doing it. The only one that I have tested so far is the "Loudest.wav" file... But I do have a surprise for my girlfriend who likes to run my battery down playing Triad... if this works...

I used the built-in note application to create a wav file which I renamed as "Loudest.wav" and move it into the Windows directory... I then moved the audio up to the highest setting and my new wav file played. Just to make sure it stuck I soft booted my unit and tried it again and it worked fine.

I would suggest that Neo001 give it a shot and see how it goes.

Ok.. posting an update... I ran my battery down last night and the LowBatt wav file didn't work. So either this doesn't work with all the wav files... or LowBatt is not attached to the function I assume it would be for.

Well,by using tweaks2k you can have the option to put any wav sound instead of default sound
