I have had a search around to this, but have only found solutions involving installing 3rd party software on my device, but im sure that it is possible:
My problem is that when i receive an sms (or email through directPush), my device turns itself on as well as sounding the ringtone and vibrating. When the phone is in my pocket, the touchscreen part of the phone means that i end up loading Opera, opening emails and all sorts of stuff, which is plain annoying.
What i would like to have is that when i receive an sms or email, my phone alerts me with sound/vibration but importantly the touchscreen doesnt unlock.
Also, when i get a phone call, i only want the on/off button and the green and red answer/reject buttons to work - i dont want the touchscreen to activate. If i answer the call, then i would be happy for the screen to become active, but otherwise not.
Anyway, i found reference to an app MortSaver, which seems like it will do what i want, but im sure there must be a registry way to do it?
I found the following on the wiki, and wonder if it would be possible for me to somehow use this? Maybe deleting some 'a's? Has anyone used this before?
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To have the device 'Vibrate and Ring' simultaneously:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "av0pw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

V15, did you ever get a solution to this?
I didn't, no - I have found that by using the "lock device" thing on the today screen it works ok, but its a pain to have to keep going into and out of this locked mode.
It seems like no matter what you set the "script" setting to, the phone will activate first. For example, my current setting is v3w3pra, and the phone activates first. Will keep tinkering.
yeah, thats where i got to - its incredibly frustrating...please do let me know if you find anything!

Is it possible to change the length that the phone vibrates for when a text message or another alert comes in when phone on silent?
Thanks

This annoys me too. If the phone is on my desk in work it makes such a racket when it vibrates the entire room looks my way. Not good!
Exactly the same problem as me.
Anyone help???

Ok I've tried altering the vibratioin length to no avail - is there a way to 1. shorten the vibrate time to less than a second or perhaps a way to script a pulse..
I never got the LEDs to flash any faster either
Thanks
Adam
My ancient SE P910i could have an increasing ring with vibrate, I've noticed my TyTN can't do that. Anyone know of any way that this can be acheived? Registry hack, small app or otherwise?
See if this helps. Courtesy of Wiki here...

Thanks mgmchan, but that looks damn complicated for an accountant
Nay, you can find this forum, post on this forum, you won't have any problem doing that.
1. Find a registry editor. Resco should be a good choice.
2. Once you run the editor, those HKCU\ControPanel\... etc will become very obvious to you. May be that sample string "ac33p..." suits your need already.
Have fun.
it's not complicated at all - the problem is that many (if not all) profile changers will modify this script without the option for you to provide a custom script of your own - quite frustrating
I've got a problem here, I've been messing around with the Notifications registry entries and of late, I've noticed that when I put the phone volume to OFF, the phone still vibrates on incoming calls. However, other events will automatically be muted.
Can someone point me to the right Registry key that would change this behavior? Previously the vibration will automatically stop when the volume is off, regardless of the type of event. Thanks!
any luck?
yes this is irritating! I dont want it to even vibrate for calls or texts at night. Did you figure this out?

ALL THIS INFO IS ON THE WIKI
Okay I read how this is done but what I am confused by is that there is only a single setting called 'Ringtone0' in the registry.
I would like to make it so when i receive an email or txt that it vibrates for 1 sec only, but when I receive a phone call it vibrates and plays the ringtone. Is this even possible?
Actually what I would really prefer would be the settings above but the the vibrate for 1sec only applies when I have the phone on 'vibrate' mode. When on volume up mode it vibrates longer while playing the ringtone
Sorry if thats confusing. I wass hoping there would be multiple profiles I could code, unless im missing something.
Thanks
anyone? i couldnt seem to get it to work
Have you tried these settings?

yes I used 'av1'
However I still dont understand, will this 'profile' of av1 go for all 3 modes (ie volume up, vibrate, and silent)?
I was expected a Ringtone0, Ringtone1, Ringtone2, etc and then I would somehow assign like Ringtone0 to be when the vol is up, #2 would be on vibrate, etc. What am I missing here??
Also to go back to the top, I made it to av1 and soft reset. On volume up, I got a txt and the vibrate still went off for like 7sec (default)
I too attempted this hack. I noticed the settings return to the original default of apw3r. I made the change and did not restart, then I changed it and soft booted, and then changed it and powered off. Everytime it returned to the default.
I just attempted to add 1 sec of vibrate on ring. v1
Any ideas on how to get the changes to stick or make it work?

Hi everbody!
On my Touch2 I would like to change vibrating type. I am using "vibrate + ring" call notification but the phone vibrates "unusually" long. It vibrates for 5 seconds, then pause for 2 seconds, and again and again...
Is it possible to change this so that it would only vibrate for (configurable!) 2 seconds on "one turn"?
Installing some other software should be the final resort; it would be perfect if I could just change some registry settings (but which?). Ok, actually that would be good - perfect would be if the WM would already have some user interface for that...
Regards, Bostjan
You can use
1- VAlert (But it ruins your volume keys)
2- Vibro
3- PhoneAlarm (Great App.)
Thanks for your answer - but I would first try to solve this issue without installing other applications if that is even possible.
Do you know the how to do that within windows registry?
Regards, Bostjan
Found this after some searching....you need to change registry... always back-up before you make changes. And do soft reset to make your changes active.

See link below. That vibrates (ooops, I would say "sounds") as a solution.
