Vibrating AND sound alerts for tasks, calender events etc

Is it possible to change something in the registry in order to achieve both vibrating and audial alerts for alarms related to tasks, appointments and such?
As I have understood, it is possible to mute the sound and turn on vibrating alert. However, I'm very interested in using them both at the same time...
I've scanned the forum, but could only find a registry change making it possible to have increasing ring tones together with the vibrating feature.
Thanks!

Not sure if i've missed something, but i dont think you need any changes to the registry.
Settings (personal tab)
sounds & notifications
Notifications tab:
pick "reminders" (or whatever) pick the sound file and tick the "vibrate" box

Thanks a lot for that! Don't know how I managed not to notice those settings...

No problem
Personally i use Pocket Zen Phone (although there are others) which allow you to have different profiles wilthout having to manually change all settings every time (ie STFU when i wanna sleep, extra loud everything at work so i hear it, same but with bluetooth for the car etc).
Basically you can then have different sounds/vibrate options depending what you are doing.

as wrote in my post, I've already done that... but that means only to not show the message directy, when it arives. I've already unlick that checkbox, but there is still an notification on the screen when i get a mail, which says "you have x unread messages"... from there you can "dismiss" or "show"...

Wow, i had that question in my mind, answer came before the question. Thanks rudegar.

Call your service provider (AT&T, etc.) and tell them about the notification problem. Provide info...they can fix for you from their end. I had the notification problem when after listening to voicemail, the word and icon remained on my device.

I don't think, that my provider can help, because I use Direct Push, which communicates directly with our own Exchange-Server... my provider provides only the possibility to connect to the internet. It must be a hidden setting in WM-registry or something like that

OK, sorry 'bout that. I have direct push mail available, but don't use it because of what you're experiencing right now. I just go on the internet to check and read my mail. I'm not all that familiar with direct push; don't really know how it works.

For those still looking for the answer for this; the only way to turn this off when using Push mail is by setting the following registry value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
set value "Options" to 20000000 (hexadecimal) or 536870912 (decimal)
Note that this disables email notifications completely, so if you want just a sound or a vibe, you'll have to use some other tool (e.g. MortScript) to achieve that.

i found this on another site.It may help you..
1. Install a registry editor like Resco File Explorer’s add-on registry editor or PHM registry editor.
2. Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3. Tap control panel>notifications
4. Tap default
5. Tap options
6. Choose what value will be applicable to you and replace the default number with it (for XDA Atom, the number was 13, I replaced it with 8 to suit my preference):
0 show icon
1 show icon and play notification sound
2 show icon and vibration
3 show icon and vibration and play notification sound
4 same as 0
5 same as 1
6 same as 3
7 same as 3
8 show icon and notification bubble
9 show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
10 show icon and notification bubble and vibration
7. If you want to configure how long the notification bubble will stay on the screen, tap on duration instead of options. Change the number there into the number of seconds you want the notification bubble to stay up.

I've created a CAB that does the following changes, however SMS notification is still working (which is ok for me).
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
set value "Options" to 20000000 (hexadecimal) or 536870912 (decimal)

OK, guys, I managed to switch off the annoying visual notifications for missed calls and SMS by setting the 536870912 value for "Options". But there's a problem - I cannot get any sound notification for new SMS Is there anyway to get sound/vibration with all other visual notifications turned off? Please tell me "yes"

Has anyone found a solution in the meantime? I'm still searching for a way to disable the "visual notification" without loosing the new-email-sound.

JR...AWESOME JOB ! Thank you so so so so much for sharing this cab file....I am so happy I didn't have to go into the registry to make the change !!!!

So I kinda had the same question. I'm using s2u2 but I don't like the notification popping up when its activated. The whole screen turns black except for the notification bubble, which kinda defeats the purpose of using s2u2. I have disabled all but the downloaded mms notification cuz is greyed out on my device? Is this normal on everyones device? I don't wanna lose sounds, I just want the bubble gone

Would be great to have this, especially with S2U2 and PocketCM.. Is there still no way?

2 small questions which I can't find answers for

Sorry if this seems like a couple of daft questions but I can't seem to find them out myself.
1) Is there a way to make the notification sound different for a text and an email. Right now if I receive either I hear the same sound, with the number of emails I get a day I tend to ignore it which now results in my not seeing I have a text till a couple hours later.
2) Is there some way to see how many texts and calls I've made over a set period of time? All the phones I've had before would give totals for me which I could then reset but I can't find that in this phone. I've downloaded an app called Phonalyzr but it doesn't do what I'm really after.

on the first point, go to Messages, press Menu --> Settings --> Select ringtone
same for email

hmm i dont seem to be able to do that. When I change the notification sound in either the messaging app or the default phone settings it changes in both. I dont have the option to change it in mail (I use activesync btw).
Its very annoying to have the same sound for both.

The notification sound set in the main phone settings will be for anything on the phone that you haven't set a different one for.
If you then go to messages and in the first messages window with "compose message" at the top, press menu / settings /scroll down to notication setting and choose select sound - you can then choose a different sound for messages.
There's currently no option to choose a different sound for gmail or mail as far as I know.

but when i open my Gmail, Menu, Settings, i get the Choose Ringtone option....first is Default Ringtone, then others :/

You are right Suisen - Thanks - Meant the HTC Mail one, but of course you can change the gmail notify to a seperate one. I just not done it on my Hero.
With most progs, if the app itself allows you to select a sound it'll have its own, but if not, it plays the one you choose in main Phone settings.

Cheers for that, now I know when to actually look at my phone when it makes a sounds

Ringtone for contact also for text msg?

So I love my HD2, but have noticed that when you set a ringtone for a contact, it is just that a ringtone. This may sound silly, but is there a way, or a mod that will also play the same sound I have set for the ringtone, when I get a text message from that same contact?
Reason I ask, I use this phone for work, I get pages (text msgs) sent to my phone when a job or server has a problem. I then also have my bosses (as well as many others) contact info set up with a certain ringtone. My 6+ year old Motorola SLVR would play the same sound that was set for the contact if the person called, or texted. It made it difficult at times if my phone was across the room to determine if someone was actually calling or just sending a text, but if the HD2 could do this, I could at least separate out a majority of contacts from work pages.
I find it amazing my old 6+ year old phone could do this, but the HD2 cannot.
Thanks in advance!

One can set different ringtone for different event happening with HTC Sense 2.5.
Click Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications.
Pull down the Event field for selection of happening. Set the appropriate ring type and ring tone to your desire.

Thanks, I get that.. I have a different ring tone per type already set up. Allow me to get a little more technical.
Sally - Ringtone = Song A
Bruce - Ringtone = Song B
Text Message notification = Song C
Right now, if Song C is set as the Text Notification, no matter who sends a text, Song C is played.
I want that if Sally sends me a text msg, her ringtone, which is set at Song A plays. If Sally sends me a text and then Bruce sends a text seconds later, I want Song A to play, then Song B to play.
Instead, the way the phone and software work, in the same scenario above, Song C is played both times. Song A and B are only played if the contacts Call, not text.
Pickin up what I'm throwin down?

OK. Understood what you meant now.
I don't think it is achievable with whatever that is available on the phone now.
Only commercial software has that kind of feature.

[Q] Battery charged alert OFF

So how do I turn this alert off.
Problem is that it wakes the whole house at night when I leave phone chargeing.
As I understand it, it is in the same category of signals as an SMS.
Do want to hear when SMS received.
I have gone through the menus 101 times.

There are 2 things.
1 is default notification. Settings->Sound->notifications (The notification center)
2 is the sound each application will give when notified. This overrides the 1
If the app has been set to default (which it normally is) then it tell the phone to sound the default notification as defined in 1
So in your case go to 1 and make it silent (this will silence all notification even full charge one. ringtone is not effected)
Now since u still want SMS/GMAIL/Calendar etc to notify. Open those apps, go to their settings and select the sound you want to hear when they want to notify. Just open them and press menu, select settings and see notification options and configure it in the app itself to sound whatever notification you want to hear. In my case SMS/Gmail/K9/GV/Calendar etc have different sounds so I know if it needs immediate attention.

THANK YOU, I would never have figured this out myself.
Followed your description, and I'm sure it works.
