notification for missed SMS - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

does anyone know how i can make my TD vibrate when i missed an SMS/EMAIL/CALL
(and keep vibrating every 5 minutes or so untill i read the message)
???

I'm intersted in this too. Is it possible?

I am very interested to this. + 1!

great idea!
it is possible?

Phoneweaver can do this among other things. Google it, its not freeware thou.

SPB Phone Suite can do this!

Pocketmax PhoneAlarm as well...
I believe all of these are Today plugins, so you'll need something like SecondToday to run them.

damn it phone alarm does not work, my HTC TOUCH DIAMOND already has a today screen so i don't need to install other software right?

nevermind i got it working, using secondToday

last post;
in the end i'm using alarmPAL, wich is a simplyfied version of phoneAlarm, but i don't need second today to run this...

Also you can try one of this application, doesn't do exactly what you need, but it's useful.
Ciao, Andrea

I'm using OS Remind Me and it's work pretty well. Here the link: http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2008/06/os-remind-me-v10.html

To get this to startup on phone start, go to program files/osRemindme, create a shortcut for the exe, then cut and paste to your windows/startup folder.

For this same purpose I have been using the alarmPal for sometime now, and now also on Diamond. Apart from vibrate, you can set reminders of missed calls/sms/email, like 1 time repeat every 2 minutes for next 3 times.

Check my signature for my solution (VibraNotify under 3 utilities)

SecondToday is not needed.
I am using SPB Phonesuite and once installed it is running in background. You can manage the setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> SPB Phone Suite. In phone notification you can select reminder for unread message and missed call in every 1/5/15/30 min and notification type (sound and/or vibrate).
Just without secondtoday you cannot use other feature like photo speed dial. And I did not notice any extra battery consumption.
((I have never tried Phoneweaver and Phonealram but if they would add the programme shortcut anywhere in the windows and running in the background just like SPB Phonesuite do, then I suppose you don't need SecondToday too))

I've just switched from Phoneweaver to SPB Phonesuite. Both can be controlled without the today screen, but I preferred SPB Phonesuite as you can set it to remind you with a tone different to the normal one. Phoneweaver reminds you too but plays the same tone. Both have automatic profiles too, which work excellently.

Off topic: Alarm with BIG off / snooze button!

Hi, sorry to invade with what seems like a trivial issue but does anyone know of an app that allows the following functionality? I used my old phone as my alarm clock and am missing the functionality on my Magician -->
1) BIG snooze and off button / or hardware button map for off/snooze (can't see much at 5am!)?
2) Play audible alarm at max volume even when PPC muted?
Any help would be much appreciated - or good excuses as to why I have been late for work since I got my new toy!!!
Thanks,
OB.
How about this one?
that prog is great and what u ask for. i use it myself!
Perfect!! Thanks very much indeed...
One slight problem - The today plugin conflicts with my Calendar plugin and completely removed it from the today screen and config page?!?
I did a few resets and uninstall / re-installes to no evail, so I removed the pTravelAlarm plugin registry entry (software|microsoft|today|items) and ptplugin.dll (windows dir) followed by a soft reset and my Calendar was visible on the Today screen again... odd?
I am not too bothered about the Today plugin part of the pTravelAlarm program so still happy :lol:
OB.
You could also try Spb Time. Large snooze button. Never fails to wake me up.

This was the standard built-in plugin that was trashed -- I did try Calender+ and it worked fine, but wish it would show a tomorrow appt. if it is the next one, as the built-in one does...
OB.
I have now tried both the pTravelAlarm and the Spb Time. The Spb Time is cheaper, has more functions and are better looking than pTravelAlarm => use Spb Time
I don't follow you with that you can't see tomorrows appointment with calender+. I can see the following two days with all their appointments. You can easily display up to 31 days with calender+.
Spb Time is about what I wanted as an alarm when migrating from Nokia to Magician. Had to install some fix to get it working though. Alarms and Windows Mobile doesn't seem to get along.

I like to display next 2 appt. only. So if I have a 5pm and an 8am next day, I like to see them both on the today screen but not more than 2 appt. so the display 2 days does not work for me? Unless I am missing something in Cal+?
Thanks for the inputs, much appreciated...

Strange, I have no problems, so far....
@obarnes With calender+ you can set it to display the next x (between 1 and 31) days, hours, appointments and so on. Just enter the options and set it to whatever you want.

I have used both WolfClock and StopTime. Both are pretty good and they will do what you want.
StopTime is more barebones, visually simpler and to the point, though less refined. While cruder, it is quite good at what it does. Also has various timer/stopwatch functions.
WolfClock is more visuals (fancy backgrounds etc) and colours. It runs of Compact.net, is therefore a bit slower to boot up the firt time after a soft resent. It also eats up more memory space with all sorts of cute things like a setting where you can tell it to play music for x mins until you go to sleep. Some might call this "bloat". The one thing I will say is that at night you might find the choice of a softer screen color worth the extra memory.
Both have good handy button size for when you need to stop, snooze etc and both are free.

Contacts from the Todayscreen

Hi, did anyone know how i can take my contacts on my Todayscreen? Like IContacts, just for the todayscreen Thx

All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....
Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.
first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one
I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower
ok but i think this have to look so:
Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..
try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)
if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think
As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside
Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin
1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS
I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread
You can also use DialTab.
Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.
i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

Contact tab on my Today Screen?

Hi guys, I have searched and searched but cant find.. Is there a prog that can fix so I can have lets say five contacts on my today screen? So I just tap them and either get some options, sms or call up. Or it just calls them up.
Hope u understand what I'm out after =)
Of course I mean the today screen with the TF3D disabled =)
Thx
If you are looking for an appliacation without TF3D, for a normal today application then try SPB Shell.

Regards
Sid
You can also add Contact's pictures as a quick shortcut on the main screen of SPB Pocket Plus.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en
I have used nearly all of SPB applications, and they are absolutely professional.

You can definately use it with "2nd Today", I am using SPB Traveller with 4 different clocks & VOIP on the normal Today Screen.

I run SPB Mobile shell, it's not active as a plug-in, I can still use the slide move from "Start" tho ( 15 extra fav contacts and stuff ), and by using Fantastic Bytes Softkey Manager 1.1 my right softkey is set to SPB contacts, works like a charm

Good alarm alternative for wm ?

The alarm clock that comes on the HD is not great eh?
Anyone recommend me a decent alarm clock for the HD?
I use the freeware GSALARM from GreenSoft. Custom sounds, snooze function etc. - is perfect for me!
Hav you a link, I'm having trouble locating it on google
hi
the best for me is G-Alarm from Ageye

why is that funny?
wow...I was just smiling
cradle alarm is a good alternative.
SPB TIme is good because you can move alarms around the clock by dragging to change times and has a bunch of features like stop watches, etc.
Ive used so far the standard alarm app included with winmo. But its very annoying that when its alert, i only see small icon in info bar at the top of the screen, and its very hard to hit that and then disable the alarm when ur sleepy!
Does anyone knows plugin to the standard alarm, or a full application that lets u close the alert by simply turning the phone screen side down? Or a program that at least shows the alert in the screen, and having a big button to close it.
Edit: Never mind! The G-alarm looks like just what i described!

You download the cab on the link, then install it on the same place (ie if you G-alarm is in device, then also install the skin cab on device. After that , go to option and choose that skin.
..... ^_^ i have already set the downloaded skin few days ago ...... but i want to create the graphics files for a new nice one , but i don't know the next step : transform my graphic files to make a skin cab ..... that's the point !!!

Same experience with the standard alarm app here, but I think it's the touchflo 3d interface that messes up the alarm on my touch hd. With touchflo 3d disabled the standard alarm app is able to provide much more feedback and control. Could this be a touchflo 3d error?

iPhone like Alarms Manager

I´d like to know if there is any alarm manager for Wm like the iPhone? Easy to use and where you can activate/deactivate alarms by sliding an indicator.
I´ve tried G-Alarm and Klaxon and neither of them is good - and easy to use - enough.
I use spbtime as i find it is the most finger friendly alarm manager out there. I also have used SSMaPa to configure the BIG TF3D clock to go to spbtime when i touch it, so setting the alarm at night for me is a 5 second things instead of a lets get the stylus out...
Simple Alarm
If you interest, you can test use my own Alarm.
You can quickly toggle alarm active by double clicking on speaker icon of each alarm.
But no cab file, only zip. Unpack to phone and try it

It even turns up the sound if it's turned of..

(I don't understand the russian signs though.. )
Looks very nice...
Hi. Looks very nice.. looking forward to an english version
Keep up the good word..
it's English version, screen shots with russian alphas it's a example only (it's titles of created alarms, which user writing itself).
nice design and work fine
thanks

I´ve tried, but it lacks some features, it doesn´t integrate with the TF3D correctly..
Do you know any other alarm for HD similar to the iPhone one?
