Thanks

What do you mean by silence the text alert? Meaning you don't want to hear any alerts when you receive SMS/MMS/Email? Please clarify and I'll see what I can find.

i think he means stop the alert when you read it or when its playing kind of like how you can silence a rington with the scroll wheel

OK, gotcha. I'll ask away, but it may take a few days to get a response/solution. And sorry for the delay in answering the posts, but I am 7 hours ahead of US Central Time.

Thanks for the information. I haven't had any luck in finding a solution in silencing the text/email alerts. Can someone give a review of the new update?

This might seem like a noob Q, but where do you find HKEY in the registry. I downloaded TC and under "registry" it only lists HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM. Thanks in advance.

Hello to all - I asked this question on another forum and was given this answer regarding removing the ringtone size limitation found on the Q9H. I'm not familiar with the Q or Q9M, so I'm not sure if this will apply or not. It seems the Q9H is limited to 600kb for ringtones, but ATT goes a little further and sets the limit at 299kb. I was told the carriers can set their own individual limitations and thus it may vary from carrier to carrier. Anyway here are the instructions I received:

Go into HKEY_CurrentUser --> ControlPanel --> Sounds --> FileSizeLimit ( it's a DWORD value) Delete it. Easy as that and now you can enjoy your MP3's without the size limitation.

Now, I thought I was supposed to delete just the DWORD value, but I couldn't get it to take (I deleted the DWORD value but went back to check and the same value was back), so I (nervously) deleted the entire FileSizeLimit. No problems with mine - I loaded up some large MP3's and they show/play.

Again, this was information that was passed on to me so I don't take the credit for it, but thought I'd pass it on and share the wealth. Please use at your own risk!

Thank you so much for the information. However, I had read in another posting that the AT&T Motorola Q Global or Q9h only lets you use WAV ringtones. Do you mean I can have MP3 ringtones?

I've tried it both ways and only the WAV or WMA files seem to be recognized for system sounds and ringtones.

I have NOT yet done the registry hack so doing so may solve the problem but I am curious since (at least to me) there seems to be two schools of thought about getting custom sounds/ringtones on the Q9h.

I admit to being in the dark about this since my previous WinMo 6 phone (T-Mobile Dash) pretty much took any and every MP3/Wav file I threw at it.

Please forgive me if I am asking a dumb question.
