Anonymous How can I disable start-up music and shutdown music? 1 Jun 8 2007, 1:14 PM EDT by Mystik
Thread started: May 21 2007, 2:26 PM EDT  Watch
I have a Cingular 3125. About 6 months ago I was futzing around with some .xml files like home.xml and found a parameter where I was able to disable the start-up/shutdown music. I get up early in the morning abd my wife appreciated not having my phone wake her up in the morning! Last week I installed the updated phone firmware, which has reset the startup music and now I can't seem to find the correct .xml file to disable the music again (I can't seem to remember which file it was that I found it in last time). Can someone please tell me where this parameter is? Is it hidden now in the updated firmware?

you can change the display format of the date on the external screen... all you need is a registry editor. the key is HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte and you should be able to change it freely... it should actively update, else, a soft reset may be in order.
