The clock of WM stop ring after 1 or 2 ring... can I set it continue to ring until I stop it please?
Up,
Is there a hack in the registry to change the repeate of the reminder/alarm please? The alarm default of WM is too poor, it ring 1 or 2 times and stop (the distance between 2 ring is also very long), it's impossible to wake up with that.
I don't understand why, to this version WM6, crosoft do not fix this problem and let WM user look for always an alternative software solution
Ya I don't know why WM has such a crappy alarm interface.
I'm finiding the ringer to lack mp3 support and also repeating the alarm.
I know about 3rd party programs SPBtime/Chronos, but I'm afraid its going to kill battery for something that WM should already have been doing.

How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
=====================================================
In Windows Mobile Pocket PC smartphone device, user can configure and set sounds and notifications alert for various events and activities that happening on the device. The notification alerts can be playing a custom selected sound, ring tone or tune, display message on screen, flash keypad light, or vibrate.
And user can customize their favorite alert music audio and notification method for events such as incoming new e-mail messages, MMS messages, SMS text messages, missed call and voice mail the phone received. However, the notification alert for each event happens just once for one time. Supposedly, it’s possible to set the notification such as beeping and playing audio sound recurringly and repetitively until user acknowledge the e-mail, MMS, SMS or other events.
There is an option of “Repeat” for “Playing sound” in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel of Windows Mobile. However, the “Repeat” check box is always grayed out and disabled for most events, except few events such as Reminder. So user cannot select “Repeat” option in order to make notification alert recurring and repeat.
There is registry hack that able to enable the “Repeat” check box in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel. To perform the change on Windows Mobile registry, a registry editor such as PHM Registry Editor, Mobile Registry Editor or CeRegEditor is required.
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
The alerts appear to completely stop at 10 minutes.
For example a text message comes in, you get an alert
You get an alert every 30 seconds for 3 minutes
You get one alert at 5 minutes
You get one final alert at 10 minutes

Tweak and Configure How Notifications Work in Windows Mobile Notifications
=========================================================
Windows Mobile powered device (including WM5, WM6 and WM6.1) has a registry key that allows user to tweak, control, configure and customize how notifications work in the mobile Pocket PC (PPC) device. For example, whether a notification should shows or hides the icon in taskbar, play notification sound, pop up notification bubble for user to dismiss or vibrate.
One notification that can be configured via the said registry key is SMS sent notification, other than the SMSNoSentMsg registry key. Then Options registry entry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default registry branch, when changed to reflect user own preference, may affect other notification in Windows Mobile device too, especially those unable to configure via Sounds and Notifications control panel GUI.
To perform the registry hack to configure different settings for notifications in Windows Mobile, run any registry editor on Windows Mobile device (such as PHM Registry Editor) or remotely access mobile device registry with CeRegEditor from desktop PC, and then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default\Options
Then, change the DWORD value to any of the following value, which also shows its corresponding results on notification respond, depending on user’s 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
• 11 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration
• 13 - Same as 1
The change takes effect effectively.
I just installed WM6.1 and I am going to use the stock SMS Program. I would like to have a SMS Softkey on the home screen so when I press it it opens up text messaging. I know how to edit the registry and I already have it saying SMS I just dont know the value to put in so it opens up Text messaging and not just messaging in general?
Also if there is a way to change the left soft key in text messaging from Delete to New that would make my day!!!
To get it to point to Text Messaging, make sure your link points to
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
is their a program or cab file that allows you to alter clolour,size etc of text in text messages
thanks for any help

how to increase the number of SMS recipient to be shown when I type some letters in the "TO:" field? Currently it automatically shows only 3 contacts to choose from.
I already change both the font of compose & read from 11 to 8 by using registry tweak
even the Screen text size already changed to the smallest under Settings
and used the "E-mail" program icon rather the "Messages" icon in the honeycomb menu
Its still showing 3 drop down recipients only.
Found the solution
Use any Reg Editor
HKLM/System/inbox/RecipientAutoComplete/MaxSuggestions
changed the DWORD Data value to any number you like i.e. 15
The SMS function for WM 6x is a Microsoft Inbox service. One useful feature is that it has a library of 10 stored text messages which you can customise and store on your phone.
The list of stored text messages can be viewed when you are in the view, reply or forward SMS context. The list will be shown when you tap on "My Text" from the SMS menu icon. There is an Edit function for you to customise your own messages for future use.
The problem faced by WM users is that when they hard-reset or flash a ROM, they will have to re-edit their stored text messages all over again this can be time-consuming. In this forum, there had been questions asked about the location of the stored text messages, but their queries were usually not responded to, or a vague answer answer was given.
The solution is to import the Registry settings after a hard-reset or flashing a ROM. The Registry settings:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\PresetMsgs]
"0"="Stored text #01"
"1"="Stored text #02"
"2"="Stored text #03"
"3"="Stored text #04"
"4"="Stored text #05"
"5"="Stored text #06"
"6"="Stored text #07"
"7"="Stored text #08"
"8"="Stored text #09"
"9"="Stored text #10"
Steps:
1. Cut and paste the text from the Code box and save it to a Registry file on your microSD, e.g., MSinbox.reg
2. Use any Text Editor to edit the values of the "Stored Text #01 through #10" to customise your own.
3. From now on, when you hard-reset or flash a ROM, you only need to import the Registry settings.
Use a File Explorer software
Navigate to the file location of the Registry file
Double-tap on the Registry file
Tap "Yes" to accept the import
4. There is no need to restart the cellphone - just terminate the SMS software and re-start. The SMS software will read the Registry each time it starts.
