Re: E5 Welcome Tone too Loud
You can go for the simple solution for your problem with your nokia e5 phone for which you have to move to menu go to the option settings from there select profiles. There you need to select your current profile which you are using select sub option personalise and roll downward to warning tones which is the start up tone for your phone which you need to turn to off after which there will be no start up tone other than this you can decrease the volume for it.
Re: E5 Welcome Tone too Loud
I was also facing similar thing with the welcome tone which is very load and very annoying. But for certain while I have got the solution for it which is like when the hands start reaching across the screen immediately before the music starts hit the space key after which there is no welcome tone sound. As I was not able to get the solution so stilling trying this temporary solution to work for me. Try to apply the same thing in your case which might resolve your issue as well.
Re: E5 Welcome Tone too Loud
I think hitting any key while the phone start will surely avoid such load welcom tone. I think you should go for this solution till you are not able to get the permanent solution for your solution. Other than this you can try to go for the another profile rather than using the similar profile on your phone in which specify the start up tone as low as possible. This will surely resolve your loud welcome tone volume.
Re: E5 Welcome Tone too Loud
I empathise - drove me completely nuts as well, and I cursed myself for being loyal to the brand and not buying a BlackBerry. Moreover, the pathetically inadequate User's Guide is no help at all!
Here goes:
Press the Home key, which will take you to the Main menu
Choose Ctr Panel (it's red)
Choose Settings
Choose General
Choose Personalisation
Scroll down to Tones (should be the 3rd one there)
Scroll down to Warning Tones (should be the 12th one there)
Change 'On' to 'Off'
Back, Back, Back etc.....
Turn off
wait a couple of secs...
Turn on
Hopefully, that wretched tune will have been silenced!
