Hi!
Is there a way to get more snooze options in the reminder bubble?
In WM2003 there was 1 day, 8 hours, 2 hours and 1 hours. But in WM5 there's only 1 day, 1 hour and 15 minutes. It's relly frustrating to snooze a reminder 23 times (if i set a 1 day in advance reminder) to be able to get the reminder 1 hour before the event starts.
I've searched the forums and internet in general but haven't found anything. Does anyone here know how to add reminder options in WM5?
\\ aste
I am also looking for this, anyone knows ?
Any news?
Just a suggestion. After setting it for the 1 day reminder, and being alerted by the device at that time, why don't you just edit the event and set the new time for 15 minutes before? No snooze in that, just a new reminder time.
G'luck
phoneAlarm by PocketMax lets you do this, if it helps...
Edit: Actually - sorry, after re-reading, I'm not sure it does the snoozing thing. Apologies.
To change the entire event will take much more time than just snoozing it for extra XX minutes or hours.
Phonealarm is a great application, but it impact alarm repeat or sound, but doesn't customize snooze menu :-(.
I know this may sound weird, but if there is a specific list of "obvious" updates or changes that NEED to be made, let me know. I have an old friend from high school that works for MS on the WM5 project. I do believe the snooze stuff should be changable. Where you can alter what you want your snooze functions to be. But anyway, about the list. Is someone compiles a list, i'll be glad to pass it on to him.
Any more news on this topic.
Does anyone know if we can change a registery setting?
I am also looking for a way to either change or add different snooze times..! The standard snooze options are SO FRUSTRATING...!

Media Player needs some fixes...
-option to make it always use storage card even if storage card temporarily disappears
-in library, the back button functionality needs to be accessable via a left dpad click. there misht be another one that causes me to have to tap the screen when it needs to all work from dpad/softkeys
-option to remember what track and what time in track (a must for listening to audiobooks)
I agree on snoozes as well, I want a 7 hour snooze to remind me of stuff before I leave work.
I can understand wanting more options. But this one I've never seem to have gotten. Isn't the point of a reminder to remind you of something at the time you scheduled it? I mean if you weren't planning on doing something when the reminder goes off why did you schedule it for that time? Isn't the point of these devices to make us more productive not procrastinators? I dunno I'm sure someone will have a valid argument. Cheers.
I've always found using progs like Calendar + useful for knowing what's coming up a day or two in advance. If I were to schedule a reminder a day before it happens I'll sure as hell forget about it as soon as I snooze it anyway. But that's just me. I have virtually no memory. I'm like a Palm Treo 650.
JuicePPC -- remember that it is not only calendar reminders that show up on the Reminder list, but also tasks and other activities which are flagged with a reminder. I often use Tasks (or an email, or even a simple Calendar entry, etc.) flagged with a reminder as my "To Do" list. If I am busy with another task when my Reminder goes off I will snooze it for however long I expect my current activity will take until I can address the "To Do" item, or Task.

I think this does it as I recall...

I might be at work and get a reminder to ring a mate. I'll snooze it for 10 minute.
But then get called into a meeting and get the reminder again - I'll then want to snooze it for maybe 30 minutes or 2 hours (neither available), to avoid getting embarasing reminder bleeps.
Having "setable" snooze options is such a no-brainer i'm hardly surprised that Microsoft forgot about them.
Whats up guys
I was wondering if there was a program out there that lets you schedule vibrate on/off. This would be really useful so that it would change before and after classes, after 11:00pm or whatever.
Thanks guys

The HTC home plugin mod by kaiser will do this
Search the forums for 6 tabbed htc home!
Just a quick explanation of how this works. the HTC Home plugin has four options for setting the volume/vibrate of the phone. Normal, silent, vibrate, and automatic. Automatic is the one your looking for. Basically, what it does is put your phone into silent when you have an appointment in your calendar. The only problem is that it doesn't take into account whether the appointment is listed as "free" or "busy". I personally wish it would not silence the phone when the appointment is listed as free, but you take what you can get.
so it's tied to the calendar ?
you cannot schedule it to do it at certain hours even though the calendar is empty ?
I think PhoneWeaver does what you are looking for (if im not mistaken)

Or PhoneAlarm.
Any suggestions of programs that don't need to take over the Today screen? I'm using Windows Mobile 6.5 default today screen which doesn't seem to have automatic vibrate like TouchFLO 3D had.. I'd also rather have it as automatic silent, not vibrate, so I still need a real program even if I go back to TF3D.
Hi,
It's possible, turn off screen when i got new sms? And turn off screen after missed call??
But, please tell me step by step, what can i do? I'm newbe windows mobile user, and never changed in registry.
P.S Xperiatweak doesn't work.
you want your device to turn off if you recieve a sms when you'r pda is on?
He wants to disable input / turn off the screen.
It is possible with XperiaTweak, I've done it myself.
So, when a new message arrives, the screen does not wake up.

Exacly, but xperiatweak doesnt work, because i have new itje's ROM, base on RA2 and RA3. Maybe someone know, how i can do this without xperiatweak?

THANKS friend! Really works!
Thank you very much
It's work perfect
When a reminder from for instance a calendar event, an incoming message or a missed call pops up, you can choose to dismiss it or delay it (not sure if delaying is the correct name in english, I mean postponing). When you choose delay, it pops up again after a minute or so.
WM offers the opportunity to choose for how much time you want the delay the reminder. If I recall correctly you could delay it for 1, 5, 30 and 60 minutes and 24 hours or so. Is there a way to get this choice back in TF3D? One minute is too fast for me.
Edit: for solution go directly to post 37.
I noticed this too. It's an annoying 'problem' for me. Hope to find a tweak/solution!
Hello there,
I had a little lookie in the registry found something that seems to do the trick, check out .
HK_Current_User > Controlpanel >notifications>reminders>autosnooze> AUTOSNOOZEMINS ......
Sorry for not displaying it like normal registry entries but I hope this is helpful, now I just have to find away of that annoying home screen problem.
Thanks for the Registry tip...I changed the registry and the MAX that it will snooze is 5 mins.....despite the amount you change the registry to!!!
It mentions something about the entry being a Hexidecimal??? I am not sure but I tried 15, 30, 45 and it only sleeps for 5 mins.
Any thoughts?

Thanks. I've searched around for this HKCU/Controlpanel/notifications/reminders/autosnooze/AUTOSNOOZEMINS key a little. What I found is that it decides for how long the reminder keeps bugging you, when you're not responding to it by either dismissing or delaying it. That's not really what we're looking for. Furthermore, I would like to have a choice for how long to delay it each single time, not just have a different generic delaying time.
This does the trick: HKLM/sysem/shell/notification/oem/usedefaultui=1 in stead of 0. It also changes the appearance of the reminder though.
Answer from HTC.

I have installed Pocket Informant 8.51. Can this be the problem? How to solve it? I have not found the way how to snooze with different intervals.
Thanks!
Maybe they misinterpreted you because of the word snooze. Maybe you can snooze when you use the alarm clock to wake yourself up in the morning.
Have you read my previous post at all? It contains the solution!

The normal alarm function pops up a little requestor with an alarm clock at the top and a description of the alarm. The soft keys are snooze and dismiss. Pressing snooze or holding down snooze both have the same effect, the alarm is snoozed for 5 mins, there is no option to change the length of the snooze interval.

As I said: change HKLM/sysem/shell/notification/oem/usedefaultui=1 in stead of 0. That will give you different snooze options.
I sent an email to the Hong Kong HTC support centre. They did understand the problem was with Calendar reminders, but said that the snooze is fixed at 1 minute.
They have said they will pass on to the engineers a request for being able to choose different time periods, so I guess this could appear in a future firmware upgrade if enough other people ask for it too (hint hint!).
Meanwhile, I did the registry edit suggested by deechte and it now works in the usual (less pretty) Windows Mobile way. Thanks for this!

It seems a bit bizarre that somewhere there must have been a meeting where they decided that replacing the older version with the massively restricted new version was acceptable. Didn't anyone think at design time that the new implementation was a bit **** compared to the WM version?
Thanks deechte! The registry tweak worked like a charm on the Diamond2 - the original "Dismiss" and "Menu" were restored - when I clicked on "Menu", it gave me a big finger-friendly menu to choose the time to remind again - just like the standard WM6.1. Note: Had to restart the phone after the tweak before it takes effect.
Thanks it works
Glad I could be of help. I agree it's a pity that you get back the old-style menu. I prefer it's functionality though.

Deechte, thank you very much for this trick. I was totally dissapointed with the current situation not been able to delay more than 5 min the alarms.
hey deechte, thank for the tip!
luckless me! registery trick dosen'y work for me!
Maybe restart your device afterwards?
doesn't work for me too...
Hey, I have a hopefully quick question, but haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for yet.
I have a Touch Pro 2 and am really starting to like the simplistic view of the Today screen without TF3D or the Windows Default views.
Unfortunately if you don't use TF3D or Windows Default, the Today screen doesn't display missed calls or voicemail notifications. Is there a simple plugin that will do this? I've done quite a bit of research and the only real solution I've been finding is PhoneAlarm which sounds good, but I am looking for a free solution.
Anybody have any ideas? I find it hard to believe there isn't a simple (free) plugin that will do this functionality...
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're going for the simplistic view, then why not use the LED notifications for when you have a missed call/voicemail/text/email? Also, even on the today screen, when you have a missed call or voicemail or text or whatever it should display an icon in the taskbar. Beyond that, you're right I have no idea of a free solution to this unless you enable Sense or Titanium. Maybe other people will know more, just thought I'd suggest the LED thing
Try HomeScreen PlusPlus here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm
Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm looking for something a bit more advanced than a flashing indicator on the phone I want to duplicate the functionality of the Home screen on Sense (that shows the voicemail and missed calls notification and allows you to directly call you voicemail and see the list of missed calls.)
I tried the HomeScreen PlusPlus, but it appears to only track outgoing calls/texts and not the missed calls and new voicemails...

HomeScreen PlusPlus can do just that, but you need to write your own MortScripts or modify existing ones. The DigiClock skin provides these functions, but I think the graphics it comes with are for QVGA screens, so if you used VGA graphics with the skin you'd get your functionality. I may have MortScripts I modified that does exactly what your looking for as well, before I moved to Pointui Home2. Let me know if you want them and I can post them for you...
That would be great if you could post them - I'd love to try them out.
Thanks!
