...long time lurker; first time poster...
did a search on this once and if it's here, sorry i missed it:
what is the reg-locale for ensuring the Bluetooth System-Tray Icon is enabled to launch when bt is active. since performing the following reg-edits, it no longer appears.
Increasing font cache and screen performance:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE"
Change "limit" from "8192" (default) to "16384"
Increase general performance:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\"
Change "CacheSize" value from "0" to "4096".
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096)"
Change "EnableCache" value to "1"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\"
Change "ReplStoreCacheSize" value to "4096"
Enable Cleartype in landscape mode:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
Change "OffOnRotation" to “0”
also... i did this one and then reversed it since i learned (after the fact) that cingular 8125 is already b/g:
Enable 802.11g:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS
Assign a value of 1 to dot11SupportedRateMask
Assign a value of 8 to dot11SupportedRateMaskG
thanks to anyone making time to reply!
can someone confirm that their actually is a bt icon that resides in the system tray (top bar) when bt is enabled???
maybe it was a fluke that i actually saw it there for a brief period today?
maybe i'm seeing things?
I have not seen that icon in WM5. But I would like to have it there.
Oh its there alright. In fact, in the online help somewhere on my 8125 it actually lists the icons and their descriptions. One of them is the BT icon.
Its beyond my why there isn't an application that can indicate with a headset icon to notify you if your phone is paired to a BT earpiece. Someone had posted once PhoneAlarm did it, but alas. It does no such thing.
If anyone else knows of a program that will tell you if you're currently connected to a BT device, please speak now!
Ok, found out where the icon is listed. Go to the main WM5 online help on the device and go to Personalizing your device>Over of the Today screen>What do these status icons indicate?
Towards the bottom you'll see the icon... IT EXISTS IT EXISTS!... sigh
it does because today... it appeared for a moment. it played peek-a-boo while device was bugging-out. glad to know i wasn't seeing things. i wonder if having the clock reside in the sys-tray has anything to do with it???
i have found this application http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1319 to at least show when the BT is on. It also tries to connect to a headset when there is an incoming/outgoing call. Not having a headset myself, I have not been able to test this function, but bt does turn on on a ring and turn off when I end the call.
i got this cab from somewhere here in the forum which shows the bt icon on the system tray, to allow you switch on/off bluetooth, i beleive it was designed for the universal but it works fine with my kjam (wizard).

Thanks! This .cab works great.
Now I only need the same type of icon for wifi. Anyone got such .cab file???
Works Great on KJAM JASJAR and EVEN A T O M !
Thanks.
I tried it on my k-jam but unfortunatelly... nada
I downloaded the cab file to my pc through the link, then copied the file to my devise and run the installation therein...
Am i missing something?
Weird
I installed this, and nothing happened, so I deleted the program, using "remove program" from Settings/System, and it started working. Go figure.
yeah,it works good on MDA Vario(czech TMO firmware)
pls have u got same cab for wi-fi ?

You just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call?
or
U dont want an INCOMING CALL ALLTOGETHER?
I gather it is the Former coz In the latter simply turn On <flight mode>
U can also set the device to recieve calls without Ringing by setting it to Pick up after <zero> calls.
Using a handsfree here would be an advantage.
U wont Miss any call.
I just want the ringer to RING without any other indication of an incoming call. Is it possible?

I doubt it... Seems kinda pointless, having the ability to tell you who is calling, but then deliberately turning it of..
yes, but when someone is calling, there is always a delay.
When you hear the first ring, the caller already heard it twice.
Maybe by disabling this, it would speed up the process a bit

That's the network, not the device.
It can't be the network, I never had this problem with my Nokia phones.
I personally think it's a flaw in the dialer application or in WinMobile itself.

Well... The cause may be that, but I doubt showing a caller ID screen will change the times....

I agree with texarcana here, the lights begin to flash on my phone when it rings a good few seconds before the screen get around to displaying the incoming call notification.
This is on WM 6.1, on my new HTC Diamond Touch.
I assume that notifications such as an incoming call or text message are either
A) A windows message sent to a background service awaiting it.
B) An application is executed with parameters describing the event
In either case, i believe it must be possible to redirect the notification in the registry. However, if the notification method is at fault (ie causing slow response, most likely to be true if B above is true.)
I'm going to investigate, I'll post an update of my results.
Im really sorry to bump this really old thread but has anyone solved this?? I would like to disable the incomming call notification too.. cuz I just added a full screen caller ID, but the damn notification pops up and covers the photos of my contacts.. so whats the point of the caller ID if i, not gonna be able to see the pictures
well i know its in Hkey_curent_User\controlpanel\notifications\phone
but im not sure how to disable it...
or even more important (for me) only disable it for a certain #...? thanks! anyonbdy
To Diamond I found. cab which options are unblocking "flash light for." in SOUND & NOTIFICATION it didn't give but nothing. I dug around in the HKLM/Drivers/Builtln/Keylight and Keypad register and I turned off LED generally speaking but I blocked buttons
first you'll need a registry editor, then edit the following key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone
Duration=1
change the 1 to 0
im not sure if this is exactly the fix you were looking for. its intended for stopping he default caller id bubble from blocking fullscreen caller id apps like s2u2.

Didn't work for my samsung i760, what about DispllayOrder? Set it to 0 too? Or what would that do exactly? I'm curious now, it's set to 1 so if all else fails, I could change it back to 1 again... I guess. I'd just like to know first before I go blindly jumping into something.. haha
Sidenote setting it to 0 did work I just had to reset my phone so remember to reset your phone after changing this, I see the curtain try to popup, or at least the frames but nothing after that... Although sometimes it does act buggy and I'll completely miss or be able to answer a call cause my phone will constantly viberate (No pickup on ringtone at all starting) then after the call is missed the viberating will stop but my phone will still be frozen... Thats when the screen is off though..
Okay after a few tests sometimes it does work and sometimes it doesn't work at all and the curtain will still show up... Then again screen off sometimes the phone wont ring at all, I'm setting it back to 1... LoL
I just wish there was a way or a more advanced notification manager, it should be just like being able to disable incoming text messages and disabling sent message notifications..
____
I'd love a fix for this too, as I already have a picture caller id with PocketX Photo Contacts Pro...
But it's annoying as all get out!! To put it politely, I slide to answer then I've got to press the left softkey too! In order to answer a call, if I could just disable the built in windows mobile caller id curtain then it'd be a heck of a lot easier...
Please let's get a scripter on this to start working their way around and tweaking it to be able to be disabled..
Thanks!!

As for ring delay which is also a few other posters concern of the phone taking it's own sweet time to decide when to start ringing... This is what I used for my i760, I'm sure someone here could turn this into use for any phone make and model:
Ring Time Limit Fix:
**772 [service code]
six zeros for the code (000000)
Scroll down with the d-pad till you see end of basic nam
hit right d-pad to change "exit" to "more"
hit middle d-pad to select
hit the down d-pad 76 times till it says slot cycle index
Change this to 1 or lower EDIT: By entering the value with the number pad and then you hit the middle d-pad to exit.
This changes the frequency at which the phone talks to the tower and will
start the unit ringing MUCH faster. the lower you go the faster but the more battery it uses. I find 1 gets the phone ringing within 3 seconds but doesn't hinder battery life.

I've got mine set to 0 though, but then again, I don't get very many calls, plus I have my phone charging a lot. Also I always carry around a spare extended fully charged battery in my holster... Usually my battery lasts a whole day... But with it set to 0 my phone picks up and rings at the end of the first ring on the callers end.
I searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... Hope I am posting in the right forum for this particular topic.
Anyway - I recently flashed my ROM to DCD's 3.1.2. I missed a step in the process and ended up with a Sprint phone for a day or two before I had time to switch back.
One thing I REALLY liked about the Sprint version was that when I had the phone set to vibrate and I got a text message or email, it gave two or three quick little vibrations... Now, after flashing properly, my vibration notifications are what they were with Verizon's stock ROM - an extremely long and loud vibration that draws more attention in a meeting than if I had the sound on!!
Any ideas on how to change the vibration back to what the Mogul has? I really like the quick and quiet vibrations.
Thanks!
Nobody? Should I have posted this in the Upgrading forum instead?
Just in case I didn't post clearly: When in vibrate mode and receiving a text, email, phone call, etc., on my Verizon xv6800 with DCD's 3.1.6 rom, I am getting one long buzz that is quite embarrassing while sitting in a meeting.
What I am looking for is to have it give two or three quick buzzes. I don't want a program to do this - I want to know if anybody has a registry hack or even a CAB file they have developed for this???
Like I said originally - when I accidentally flashed with Sprint's customizations, I got the three quick buzzes...
Anybody know the registry difference between Sprint's customizations and DCD's or Verizon's that causes this long buzz???
Thanks!
Ok - that's weird that you get a long buzz on a vibrating text notification. I'm using an XV-6800 with the stock ROM and get three short vibrations when I get a text message or e-mail notification.

this has been covered before. First, you need a registry editor, as one does not come on our phones. I use PHM Regedit. Navigate here from within the regeditor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB]
Edit the following:
"STRENGTH_LOW"=dword:00000000 (click on the name and change the "value data:" to 0)
wait 10 seconds or so, soft reset, and problem solved!
btw, PHM regedit can be found here if you need it: http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
i highly recommend you use the desktop installer to ensure you get the correct version on your phone.

Hey All,
I've been having this problem with inordinately long vibrations as well. (Sprint Mogul, running 20270)
I went to make the change mentioned in the previous post, and it's already set to 0. Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Note this is the vibrate that occurs when sound is *on* not off... I want to be able to get a vibration in addition to the sound for when I'm in a loud location.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I agree. I hate the extremely long/loud vibrate notification and would love to know how to change it?!

I can confirm this fix working on the VZW XV6800.
works
yes, it shortens it...however, its still 3 short bursts....I wish it could be 1 quick bzzz...
does vibration or popup notification of new messages/new mail work (both active and sleep state) on touch hd?
i do not get anything even i set it accordingly in the notification settings. all i see is a number pop up in touch flo tabs. deactivating touch flo does not help either.
any ideas?
Same problem here.
It worked sometimes, not it doesnt anymore and I dont know why (perhaps a confict with a program??).
Ascenca
sms notificatian not working anymore.
Same her not working anymore
its a bug that has been there since the HTC Diamond
fix?
anyway to fix it?
Please Help.
I cant live without sms notification!
There is a Registry tweak for the Diamond that fixes this - it should work on the HD too :
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message
set to "0" to enable wake up
EDIT : This was referenced from a Thread on the Diamond Forum
EDIT : Actually, having re-read your problem, this may not fix it - sorry.

Hd Tweak allows you to turn sms notification on.
Also make sure you have done
start--->settings--->phone---->services
then click on voice mail and text messages and then get settings.
Missing New Mail Missed Call Notification
I have the same problem phone does not display an new message or missed call icon in the upper tray. Seems to have happened after using HD Tweak and trying to hide the battery Icon, which is now in place of where the New Mail or Missed Call Notification Icon is normally displayed.
Anyone else expereincing this problem and any ideas for a solution?
Thanks.
Notification Problem Solved
Disconvered that I had an extra battery icon in upper tray from SPB plus. Removed thatand everything is now working fine.
My partner received his shiny new HTC Touch HD last week and after a few hours realised it was giving no notifications of text messages. Absolutely nothing as people have described here! It was new out the box and was making no noise, no notification on the Touch Flo, not even the standard Windows Mobile icon at the top. We tried every setting we could think of, and passed it to a friend whose had his HD for a couple of months now, who also couldn't find any good reason for its silence.
We gave in and hard reset the device (since it was only a couple of days old and he had yet to fill it with stuff!)
I'm glad to say, the hard reset solved all! No idea what the problem was, but it now gives all the correct notifications and obeys settings.
Just thought I'd share this in case others happen upon this problem since the thread gave us hope (in that others had the same problem) but no solution. I realise a hard reset isn't an elegant solution, but it did fix the problem
Fixed mine
Pauls suggestion for the diamond worked for me. My Touch HD running Energy ROM (WM6.5). I hadn't even noticed since my last ROM upgrade (i pressume) but my phone only alerted me to a new SMS when I had it switched on (not in stand-by). When I did notice I checked all the settings I could find for alerts and notifications, sms etc. The following registry tweeks fixed mine:

When you dail a number on your phone and you press the call butten it makes a beep. Even when the phone is in silent mode it does that.
Is there a way to turn off this beep?
I tried the sound settings but nothing worked.
Turn off the call connect notification in settings > phone > advanced (some vibrate some beep some do both)

It just turns off the vibration but not the beep.

Yup it is really weird. Could be as you say that my providex is the problem.
Oh well we just have to live with it
Great phone otherwise.
Ive got the beep problem too, and you can turn it off with a regedit:
HKCU/SOundcategories/callstart
Then turn the initvol value to zero
This does stop it but the only problem i have is that when i reboot the beep returns for some unknown reason, anyone know why?

dont drive urself nuts with reg edits..
sktools is the answer for that, amongst many other things you may want to tweak.
once dl'd and installed to device :
sktools> tuneup> phone edition "Beep Before Start Call" = NO

Dash 3G Call Initiation Beep
I need help...i am using the sk tools lite to edit the registry as suggested, but I cannot navigate to the HKCU/SOundcategories/callstart because it only shows HKCR, HKLM and no results found.
I have tried following the directions here, but need a little more guidance.
I am making calls in the evening and would really like to disable the call initiation beep (1 quick beep). I have no other beeps (such as minute timer) or disconnect tone.
If someone could please reply with specific instructions on how to navigate and disable, I would truly appreciate it. I have also tried a master reset, because I thought that at one point, I had found a way to turn it off (and i wouldn't hear it at all) but that was when i first got the phone a year ago. I can't remember how to turn it off now, I thought it was in one of the settings options, but have been through each one a dozen times, and still cant find it.
Please? anyone? Thank you.
I am using the HTC Snap, and I have the same problem as you. I cannot search HKCU using SKtools
However, using Mobile Registry Editor, I can access the registry on the HTC Snap, and going thru this path:
HK_Current User > Control Panel > Soundcategories >CallStart,
and changing the initVol to 0, I can get rid of the beep
However the change doesn't stick.
It reverts back to the irritating beep whenever I restart the phone or change profile... Anyone can help?!
Help anyone?
