Thanks Mauricio - I've slowly worked out how the whole thing works in the
past week I've had the device. One annoying thing I discovered is the fact
that the SMS notification cannot ring and vibrate at the same time. It's
also a bit annoying that the notification is associated with the PDA audio
volume, instead of phone volume.

There're sounds played when you navigate through various items such as Start
menu items, on-screen keyboard, etc. That's also associated with the PDA
volume, which kinda makes sense. It would be great if sounds associated with
these events can be turned off. Can't quite find the way to do this though


Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,
Dany.

To turn off these sounds tap Start | Settings | Sounds and notifications and
uncheck "Screen taps". I also uncheck "Events" and "Hardware buttons", but
YMMV.

Have a look on Geekzone (link below), there are quite a good crowd there
with some interesting tips. I have an article listing all software running
in my devices, and will updte it next week with a new batch of software
titles I am using now - and remove some from the list.

Also, we will be publishing reviews of the new models coming out from
Telecom, Vodafone, O2 and i-mate these coming weeks.

Hi Pleb,

Yep, downloaded and installed it thanks.

It looks good. I'll have to have a bit more of a play with it, but it
seems to "fix" it.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for that. I already had Screen Taps unticked - didn't realise it's
actually the Events sounds that had to be turned off.

I've joined the geekzone forum and already getting useful tips for fellow
geeks

Cheers,
Dany.
