Shortening the vibrate for SMS - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

hi all
Ive searched the forums extensively but did not seem to find the answer to this.
I know there is a REG hack to shorten the amount of time the vibrate is on for phone calls but is there a reg hack to shorten the amount of time for SMS and Email notifications. yes there are at least three threads that ask the same thing on the forums here (most very old) but there aren't any answers in them only how to do it for incoming calls not for message notifications.
when the volume is on just both set to low the vibrate is very short and nice
when set to vibrate only its a heck of a lot longer
anyway advice appreciated

Duration of SMS Notification Vibration

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, but I have searched for quite a while to find a solution to this. The vibration when you receive an SMS message seems to last an extremeley long time. I've found how to shorten the vibration duration with the ringtone via registry settings, but this had no effect on the SMS notification. I've also read that the SMS vibrate lasts as long as whatever ringtone you have selected, but a change to a shorter ringtone had no effect.
Is there another registry setting that will allow me to modify the duration of the vibration for an SMS notification?
Thanks for any help!
Device: Cingular 8125
ROM: Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE
I'd like to know this as well if possible. When I've got it on vibrate on the desk in work, getting an SMS makes the whole room shake!
Would like to know this aswell!
no solution for that one?
The vibration duration is consistent to the duration of the notification tone you are using even when on vibrate only. So if you have a tone that does a quick chirp your phone will vibrate for the duration of that quick chirp. If you choose a 10 second long sound file your phone will vibrate for 10 seconds.
Hope that helps.

SMS Vibrate

Has anyone noticed that when set to vibrate mode, when an SMS is recieved it vibrates for a lonnnnnnnnnnng time?
I have found that you can change the vibrate length for calls, but none of this seems to work for sms's.
Anyone know of a way to shorten the length of the sms vibrate?
Also, reading the text doesn't cancel the vibrate, is there a way to fix this instead of/as well as the above?
Regards,
Chris

You could take a look at pocketmax's Phone Alarm is this takes over all notifications regarding SMS/Emails/Voice and Missed calls.
Not sure if it solves the looonnnnng vibrate issue though.

nah i cant see that pocketmax's Phone Alarm allows you to change the duration or the vibrate.

SMS Audio Notifications

Does anybody know how to turn off the annoying SMS sent audio notification?. Even with the phone set to silent or sound off setting it still generates a jingle when sending SMS messages.
Have trawled the web for a solutin to this problem and had a look through the registry but to no avail.
Kinda makes it impossible to answer text messages when in meetings or when trying to be discrete.
Well, there is a registry tweak to turn off notifications altogether. If you want the visual notification alone, this would not help.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Settings/SMSNoSentMsg to 1

incoming SMS notification continuous play

Here's one for the experts,
i have the following problem with my TC: each time i receive a text message, the custom ring tone that i assigned to incoming SMS (of about 30 seconds in length) keeps playing even if i dismiss or read the message (i can even delete it). it seems that there is no way to stop the ring tone from playing besides turning the volume down (or choosing the silent profile) or assigning a shorter ring tone...which, let's face it...these aren't even worthy of the name "work around".
i have studied the forum and the problem is well known. but i didn't find the solution in any thread. if there is someone who can point me to some post that can enlighten me, please do.
I'm waiting for a feedback from one of the smart guys that are using the forum.
Thanks in advance.
I guess there is no one in this forum that can help me. Was i mistaking about the smart guys i mentioned or this problem is just my imagination? You really don't find annoying that you already deleted the received message and the incoming notification plays for another half a minute?
Come on guys, help me just a little bit!
Thanks again
It's normal behaviour.
Notifications were not expected to be 2 minutes long by the WM developers.
The only notification that seems to be interruptible is the alarm one.
indeed it just seems to be the only interruptible notification...the other one is the incoming call notification. really can't understand why this can't be fixed.thanks for replying.

Vibrates too much!!!

Hi guys,
Is there a way to chill out the vibration on this phone?
Everytime I receive an email or I get an appointment reminder, the phone vibrates for like two seconds.
It should just chill out and give me a short vibrate.
I have managed to tone down the vibration on SMS using SMS popup but appointments and emails are still hyper.

He's obviously not talking about the haptic feedback.
Noticed that as well. Any notification vibrates so long you think it's a call.
Been looking at this, using Handcent has let me change the text vibrate pattern but nothing for emails. I've read that people have used tasker to do it instead.
I set vibro and sound off for all apps that use notifications, because I do not need to feel them - I use the notifications whenever I view the screen.
I think the length of vibro MAY depend on the length of the SOUND tone you set for specific notifications? like it was with old dumb phones? Try picking a shorter sound.
Just put it in your pocket and smile all day long .
