Maybe this is an odd question but the vibration on the 8525 is crazy long. Seems like it lasts 10sec (maybe only 5 but it seems long). Is there a way to make this a quick 1sec vibrate? I leave it on my desk at work and everytime email comes in or a txt msg it is going off.
I have turned Vibrate off which works however not the best solution as Id prefer to have it, just not going off for so long.
Thanks
There ARE people who would pay good money for that!!

I googled: xda-developers hermes vibration length VOILA
you know what, I read that exact thing but missed the part about Vibrate for N seconds. Oops. Thanks though!!!
i am tired of the 3 second vibration every time i get e text but i need it to vibrate so i cant just disable vibrate. i did search and found the reg edit to change the length of vibrate but it only applies to incoming calls not text, so my phone rings with a 1 second vibrate which is a huge improvement but it still vibrates for 3 seconds when i get a text. i looked around in the reg a little but didn't find anything...
any ideas?

Change HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/VIB\STRENGTH_LOW from 1 to 0 wait 15 seconds or so and soft reset you should be happier with that...
It happens to all of us that we miss a phone call or we don't hear when an sms arrives. My old mobile phone used to continue to beep or vibrate briefly every few minutes until I actually confirmed that I knew I had missed the call or the sms. But the HD does not do that. So, I feel like I regularly have to be waking up my HD to see if I have missed something. Is there any way to set the HD to keep reminding me every few minutes after I missed a call, an sms or any other event?
PhoneAlarm is what you need. Find it here at PocketMax
Hi,
You don't have to 'wake up' the phone to know you've missed something. In Start>Settings>Personal>Sounds&Notifications you can tell your phone to keep blinking its small LED (on the power button) when you've got missed calls/txt msgs/etc...
Probably not as good as the suggested programm but still saves you having to push any buttons. Just look at the top of the phone from time to time.
Kind regards,

Thank you both for the help. I didn't realize I could set the blinking LED light to do that. I'll see how that goes. It might be good enough for what I need. If it is still not enough for me, I'll definitely consider PhoneAlarm. I saw it has a ton of features, but I really only need the repeating alarm feature, so I don't know if I would get it just for my one needed feature. But definitely nice to know the option is there.
I wish there were a registry hack where it would vibrate every so often for a given amount of time or until I checked what I missed.
Hi Developers!
I'm new here, although i've been reading the forum for a couple of weeks now.
I had a flash yesterday night, that we need a program/mod that allows us to vibrate the phone by shaking it if there is a new message.
My phone usually in a pouch, and i always have to take it out at least to check if the led is flashing. Would be nicer to shake, and it would vibrate in response.
[(if newmessage = 1 AND tiltingactive = 1) then vibrate]
Thinking about something like this
Is there a program like this exists, or would anybody be so kind making, or implementing it to an other program for us?
Comments are welcome.
Happy diamonding for next year too

+1 here!! Sounds very nice!
Hope some more people fancy this idea

Ya +1 it sounds awesome....dunno hw u ppl get such supeb ideas......
Ermm.. I thought thatz already in the vibrate settings?
I think you missed the point.
Very neat idea indeed
in silent mode my phone is vibrating log for calls and tree time short for SMS, in factory seting, original ROM
Another one, who missed the point - we're talking here about an app that would respond by vibration after we shake the phone in case there's a new (unread) message.
as far as i know this isn't possible, when your phone is in standby mode, 3rd party applications can't interact with it, so you'd have to turn the phone on first before shaking it, which would be pointless.
I was afraid of that. But yes - there's a point - Diamond (for example) doesn't "blink" with the alert LEDs when in standby.

but the ring around the nav-pad "blinks"
If there is a text comes, it automatically wakes up the phone(there is an option somewhere to check it). The ring around the navipad also flashes.
Interesting improvement would be to tell you how much text arrived by vibrating twice, 3 times, etc after shaking...
How about using one of those expanded alert programs setting it to vibrate every 30 sec when you have new messages. It would save you even having to take the phones out of your pockets.
This is a great idea!
My diamond normally sits inside its beyza case, where I have easy access to the button on top of the device, but have to use 2 hands to take it out the case. It would be so useful to be able to quickly tap the button to take the phone off standby, and shake it and wait for a vibrating response.
Sounds good, but we need a professional to implement. Anybody volunteers?

Why shake it?
Then I would use lightsensor, when carrying = dark. So tapping butting makes it shake the amount of messages and goes back to standby again within 5 seconds.
Why AND push button AND shake?
Hhm... it would be enough just to beep or vibrate every 2 minutes until you read the message. My old samsung R210 could do that, and it was a pretty handy feature.
I've made something up that alley some months ago, check out my signature (3 utilities) and VibraNotify.
My concept was to vibrate when there's been activity while your phone was left on i.e. a table and you pick it up again...
The point of it is if you've missed SMS, while it's in the leather case or whatever you use - you shake it and it vibrates. which i think its useful, saves you having to take it out the case, and either look at the ring light or turning it on to check.
having it vibrate every 2 minutes would be a bit crazy as it would kill your battery surely?
Well, thanks to audiophil, it seems the problem solved with vibranotify. I haven't tried it yet tho, somebody could give a feedback about it.
hi guys
i have a slight issue with the hd2..for the first time i have been left frustated with the device due to the occasional freezes but i can live with that..Can i just add the battery life is also doing my head
my main problem, within the last week or so i have noticed that i am receiving text messages late ranging from 1 to 30 mins (obviously it shows the time sent on the sms) this is mainly when the phone is locked and when i press any button it will vibrate and notify me of the msg regardless if the phone is on vibrate or on normal sometimes if the phone is locked and i go to unlock it there be 3 or 4 text messages showing this is really annoying as you can imagine receiving a sms 30mins after it was sent
i believe it may be a handset fault as i am receiving the text but as soon i press any button it wakes the phone up and my sms appear what you think?
im running stock 1.72 uk tmobile , searched this forum there are a few threads whereby other users have experienced this but i could not find a solution? shall i call tmobile? have you experienced this? any ideas let me know ..thanks
