2 hhmmm donno dont use the std calc
3 when i go into settings and choose sounds and notifications and choose notifications and select the event inbox: new sms message and choose play sound and choose a sound my device does play
1) BT
Nope... my BT CF card found my XDA2... and has selected the activesync profile... but can't sync
2) Std Cal
any good recommendation for a cal program?
3) I did exactly what you said... but no sound...
2 well i havent yet gotten the emulator of my trusting old
hp48 running on 2003 but since it's opensource then i'm still
looking into it
but if you dont like RPN then i would not recommend it that is if it were working
http://www.freewareppc.com/calculator/calculator.shtml
here you can find any type of calc that suit you
3
but it does play if you test it the place you can choose which alarm wav to use?
odd is it when the xda is turned on ?
and is both the volume sliders up ?
Found out something last night... I installed a Chinese Enabling System Monster Chinese... and it affect the Calculator and SMS ringtone... so I uninstalled it last night... it works...
this morning, I reinstall Monster Chinese... it didn't work... strangely enough... I uninstall Monster Chinese again... the calculator works... but still no SMS ringtone...

How to enable "play sound/repeat" in Sound & Notifications audio settings?
If I missed a notification (email or reminder) I'd like to hear a beep or other sound at selected intervals.
Thanks,

SMS Notification repeat
Since we are noobs and not real, I thought I might share my searching results. First the search only returns results with "sms repeat", and not much with the Topaz. I had the same problem with my old Kaiser, and there was a great little program on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html) that I think was more about led notification but worked for my need to get repeat SMS notification. (I am a network engineer that is on call a lot)
I did a bunch of registry hacks on the Kaiser but nothing that worked very well and ended up using Phils program above, but not on my Topaz yet. It is still stock ATT rom.
I did find references to 3 other programs:
MissedCallReminder
PhoneAlarm
spb phone suite
The Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has a couple of varients, and looks like it might be easy to install, and has a small footprint piece called AlarmPal that has a feature of turning on and off bluetooth that might be helpful if battery life is an issue.
Phone Alarm supposedly works on 6.5. AlarmPal looks like just 6.1 and below, but there are posts about Diamond with a WM 6.5 ROM.(less than $12.00US)
Missed Call Reminder is from here (xda-developers) and looks like one of the moderators might be using it but the post is from Nov, 2008. He has updated it and the files in the cab are from April of 2009. It uses 236K of memory. Not sure if that is alot or little.
I do not have time today to try these out, but should have a little time later in the week.
I too would like this feature enabled. There has got to be reg tweak that will enable the "repeat" box to be checked under sounds & notifications. I will search around as well.
I found this in another forum so I will post it here too. It is over a year old post so I'm not sure if it works yet but I will try it out and post my findings if you all want to wait for confirmation if it works or not on WM6.5. Thanks to Jackalz for this find (http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/992968.htm).
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
EDIT: I have just verified that these registry settings worked. I was able to enable the repeat option for New emails, new text and new mms message. CHEERS!
Edited post: I did the above registry tweak and as in the kaiser, It would not stop repeating after reading the sms. I deselected the repeat option and set the registry key back to 0000000b. back happy again..
Old post:
I will try that one.. On the old Kaiser, it would repeat, but unable to turn it off. It kept repeating, no matter what I did to turn it off.. Thanks,
Jack
SMS repeat notification
AlarmPal worked... and even quit "reminding" me after I turned it off..
SMS repeat notification program testing results
Missed Call Reminder: looks like low footprint but repeated Voicemail notification even when I did not have voice or voicemail notification on. Only way to turn off the voicemail notification was to actually listen to the voicemail, just acknowledging it would not turn off the alert. Also after opening it up once, have to reboot the phone to get back into the configuration. Not a problem if I was able to turn off the voicemail alerts.
Alarm Pal worked as advertised but memory usage climbed from 72% to 82% in 14hrs. Will reinstall and continue monitoring.

ah, maybe that's why they disabled it in the first place. haven't experienced that issue with email's or text messages on mine.
Repeat Notification SMS
Have been using Alarm Pal for a few weeks, and it works quite well. I still have the memory usage pump up to above 80% pretty quickly (8-16hrs) but I am a real heavy user of both email, text, alarms and phone. Any others using something different with a smaller memory footprint?

I used MSentinel, you could try that! (after installing you should check the settings - mine checked the status every 1s and drained the battery very fast)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529227
On my Typhoon I used an modified version of MortScript-based reminder - it does not stay in memory, uses wm-s notifications system and executes itself after given time (made also a full hour bell from it ). Its even possible to create a custom scheduled task with it - for example run pim backup every saturday night.. The original script came with a rom from xda-dev. - dont remember the name of it

Hi there, anyone know of a program that works on HD2 that allows you to assign different sms tones to different ppl? Did have Text Message Secatary from openmarket, and was working, but since I updated to new T-Mobile (UK) Stock rom, it not longer does, despite what rules i apply. Found PhotoContacts Pro but this seems abit overkill for what I want, Sure others want this as well, and despite contacting the author of Text Message Secatary, had no help from him. Also tried Justtones but that didn't work! Any help would be magic!
take a SD card... insert it and make a folder called "audio"--> open it and then make three new folders, called "alarms" "notifications" and "ringtones" then you copy the new sms tone to the notifications folder.
cheers, stephan1
edit:
ok... this is not what mobile secretary is doing... I´m sorry
sms tones
wrong post my badd
re tones
I know where to store the tones, think you misunderstand the point, I actually want to have a different sms tone for different ppl, i.e 1 for wife, 1 for work, 1 for best mate, so just by hearing the tone i would know who the sms is from. As i said Text message secatary used to work, til i updated the stock rom, but now doesn't.
Any more Idea's?
people>all people>(pick person)>edit contact>(scroll down)ringtone is this what yuo were looking for?
Only commercial software can achieve that. Don't recall seeing any freeware capable of that.
Photo Contacts Pro
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
the above statement is true fully though those programs just Change registry keys to achieve that
although I defined all alert sounds (sms, email. missed calls etc.) to give an alert still when I receive any of the above the phone is silent. need to mention that I chose a different alert than the default (different sound)
any ideas?

Hello!
I have had the same problem after I updated to the next available rom provided by HTC.
I have tried several things and experimented with the different sound formats.
I noticed that I still got a sound alert in standby mode for my mail account and wondered why I didn't get the same for my sms.
Like you I customized my sounds with soundfiles from the internet (like effects and stuff that I copied directly to the \windows\rings directory .) And I noticed a big difference between the sound I used for sms (WAV) and the sound I used for mail (mp3).
So just for the fun of it I tried converting my WAV file to Mp3 because I couldn't find the same sound file in that format.
And what do you know... problem solved...
I yet again recieve sound notification in standby mode for sms.
I don't know if this is something that occures due to the upgraded rom but it works for me.
Maybe it's an idea you'd like to try. I was very frustrated by this problem and spent an entire evening on trying to fix it. So I have invested a lot of time.
Maybe it helps you to.
Goodluck,
Joey
solved by upgrading rom
the opposite happened to me when i upgraded the rom and now the defualt sounds are playing for everything.
so what I do is just leave the default sound and won't choose other sounds since i dont know if itll remain ok or itll go mute again and I don't fell like hard reseting again...
thanks anyway for your help - I'll remember your offer if ill need it
and by the way, mp3 ringtones that i added are working fine..
check out the new update on HTC's site it is specifically for this problem!
My htc Topaz stopped playing sound when i receive sms or for an event. Settings are fine i updated to latest ROM and still it only vibrates but no sound when i receive new sms.

Some rote questions:
1. Volume-setting: vibration or silent or on?
2. Settings (start - settings - "sounds and notification"): notification - new sms ?
3. Have you made a hardreset?
4. Does your TD2 make any sound (incoming call)?
SMS delivery notification

Install "Advanced Config", under "Messaging" you could it enable.
If Advanced Config shows an error message when you start it, then install NETCF35 afterwards.
But be careful with the settings in this tool!
Ok thx a lot. I did it but still no sound.

I would wonder if you would have sound after that ...
Make a hardreset. And if the problem persists, it's a hardware fault.
And please remove the sdcard and the sim-card bevor you make the hardreset.
Does your TD2 have warranty? - if "yes" then let it repair.
Is the rom the original one? - if "yes": what version?

i used to be with the first 6.5 wm version after i got this problem i downloaded the latest rom and updated. Already done the hardreset.
Interestingly my phone developed a similar problem over the last weekend, the ring tone plays fine, the htc start up works fine but no other sound will work. (Callers can't hear me and I can't hear them, even with the earphones plugged in)
I tried a hard reset but had no luck, contacted HTC and they reckon I'll need to send it in for repair (but as I think it's out of warranty I bet they'll charge me for the joy of it... )
Had a similar problem before this. Happened after I installed the SRS WoW HD cab.. 1st install said there were no drivers. 2nd install didn't show the error but on both instances, phone made no sound whatsoever. It'd just vibrate.. uninstalled it and everything started working again.. So, worth a look. The ROM might have a failing sound driver..
First course of action, naturally, get a new ROM. I'm on Photon with Sense. And thru sense, you could assign a ringtone to both calls and SMS without needing Advance Config..
For some reason this also happened to me, so with the help of some of the excellent guys on XDA, I wrote a Mortscript. See here
