Installed MSVC a few days ago and now every time I get a text message the Diamond wakes up, even though I have it set in registery not to wake on SMS. I know I could probably stop it from speaking text messages and this would probably fix the issue but I do like voice notification for the texts and I'm sure when I first installed MSVC it didn't wake the device, has only been doing this for a day now.
Anyone know how to fix this or am I gonna have uninstall MSVC
Thanks in advance.
Use SKTools to clean up bad entries or hard reset the mudderfugger..
Hard Reset!!!! a bit extreme lol, will have a go at SKtools though
Does anyone else have this problem?

Reminders (most, not all) have stopped working on my Advantage. They show correctly in the calendar and sync with the desktop where the reminders pop up but for most of them nothing happens on Adavantage.
The odd one still works as normal but for most of them although the agenda shows the appointment about to happen no pop up, sound or even notice of a reminder having been missed appears.
I seem to remember a slightly similar thing happening with WM2003 after I had changed the time zone, and had to delete and then reinstate each appointment to get the reminders up again. But in this case neither has the time zone changed nor does deleting and reinstalling (nor before you ask soft-resetting) the device makes any difference.
Any ideas anybody?
Resolution
I had some recurring reminders which were set to go off at 1 minute before and some at 0 minutes.
When I set all of these to at least 5 minutes before everything returned to normal.
Strange unless there is some time issue in the device or OS somewhere - anyway, just in case someone else gets this problem.
It may sound funny but change time zones, have it change the time zone. Then hold the power button until it asks are you sure you want to reboot. Let it reboot then change the time zone back. Sometimes that helps cuz it will rebuild the alarm database.
Your other option is Scarybear fix notifications and Check Notifications. You can view the alarms and remove the ones that are invalid. You need to be careful though. Delete the ones that say NULL.
I've benn through this for YEARS and that's the only way I've had 100% success.

I agree with everything hammermedia says bar one - I find Scarybear sometimes doesn't too well on WM5. Dinarsoft Memmaid does the trick
on the notification queue for me.
Snooze options
While we are on the subject the thing I HATE about WM5 compared to PPC2003 is the fewer snooze options.
Got quite excited over mention of memmaid to look at queue as I totally rely on these notifications but often need to set the snooze to x hours but having had a brief look I see that one can delete but not amend.
Don't want to try scarybear if there are reports of probs on WM5
On my old universal I spent ages trying to to get PocketMax Alarmtoday working to give me more flexibility. I will try again on Advantage now.
Any way of hacking the reminder snooze options? or Other programs people like?
still not snoozing
Just a brief update have got alarmtoday working fine which does have helpful options - regulates the sounds for how long and really like the 'mute all sound for a flexible period' - how many times does one forgot to turn the sound back on!
Alas it still uses the WM5 options for handling the reminder when it pops up so I can't tell it to remind me 8 hours
Please can some1 assist.
After hard resetting my device and reinstalling the cabs, there is only a vibrate when I get an incoming call. The text message notification is quite low but at least it is there, absolutely nothing on the ring except vibrate. It worked perfectly before the hard reset. Do i have to hard rest again to bring this function back? Any assistance would be appreciated
have you installed the soundfix?
it's in the cabs that xplode has compiled.
Installed yes
Ive installed the soundfix about three times with no luck. even the wm6_soundsfix.cab with no luck....Going to give it till this evening with one more soft reset, else....its hard reset for this bugger. Gosh! I really need a backup tool badly...any suggestions?
I had the same problem so i've downloaded program RINGO in which you choose ring tone for incoming calls or sms messages. u can download it from http://rapidshare.com/files/43888697/Ringo.Mobile.v1.3.00.wm5.regged.rar
Wish your reply was earlier bud

Thanks a lot, wish it were just a bit sooner...
I've already performed an HR. Managed to get most everything back up to speed. Would still like that program though, and thanks for the input. Just in case it happens again.

Hi guys,
I am facing very annoying problem. Every time I dial somebody's number and cancel the call by tapping on red button, after short while the phone redials the number again. I cancel it again and after a while phone redials the number again. This is repeating until a) I reset the phone or b) the person I am calling to answers the phone call.
I do remember I saw some settings related to redialing when playing with phone, but I went thru all config dialogs and cannot find anything. Maybe a change somewhere in registry could help?
Also I did not find anywhere how to disable the notification after you receive a new text message or got a missed phone call. Woman voice is keeping saying: "you got a new message" or "you got a missed call". This is anoying as well especially when you sleep and you receive a new msg and even your ring tone is set to something very polite to keep you sleeping, that woman's voice is trying to wake you up telling you - hey "you got a new msg", wake up!
My ROM ver is 1.14.401.3 WWE, I did some changes with Advanced Config and I am using tools like AEButton, SecondToday and some other tweaks, but I don't think this has something to do with the above described issues.
Thanks for your advices!
I have just found out that it is caused by REDIAL.EXE application which is stored in \Windows directory so I am not able to rename it or delete it. Is there any way how to get rid of this file? Thanks!
I have finally found out what caused the issue. It was application HTCExtFun and I forgot that there are such settings. I use it for switching different keyboard layouts when stylus is in or out.
So to disable automatic redial, I needed to edit [HKCU\Software\HTCExtFun] registry and sent RedialTime to zero.
Also in the same registry you can disable that sound notifications for incomming text message or missed call.

You can rename any WM aplication to "REDIAL.EXE" and then copy this renamed redial.exe to \windows, it will take the place of the rom redial.exe.

Thx for this thread. Now my HD doesn't redial anymore.
well, this might bea bit out of the subject but.. isn't there any registry fix that prolongs the default vibration time of the HTC Touch HD when the call is connected?
i feel it is very short and often passes unnoticed.
I understand that the "Redial" application does so but i'm very obssessive about battery life and background programs so i much prefer to have a registry fix if possible.
any help?
How do I disable screen wake up on new SMS?
Mine gets totally woken up when new SMS comes and if I let it sit inside my pocket for a while (when I can't check sms right away), a few programs are launched and sometimes I am calling someone.
I think the screen gets "touched" while inside the pocket and screen woken up by new sms (fine when sitting on the table with unchecked new sms).
Is there a way to disable this?
I want new SMS to come, vibrate or alert by sound BUT no screen wake up.
I did try searching but I think my search methods aren't that great.
Thanks.
Use xperia tweak
I read it somewhere that if I use xperia tweak and disable screen wake up at new sms, I will get those "new" messages when I wake up the phone.
Meaning, I won't get notified in any way untill I wake the phone up.
Can you please verify this?

Thanks for the link.
It works
For anyone who might have trouble with this issue, I'll add the info.
add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
BTW, I installed Xperia Tweak but I get an error.
I have advanced config installed. would this be the problem?
Make sure you are using right version (depending on your FW):

How to enable "play sound/repeat" in Sound & Notifications audio settings?
If I missed a notification (email or reminder) I'd like to hear a beep or other sound at selected intervals.

SMS Notification repeat
Since we are noobs and not real, I thought I might share my searching results. First the search only returns results with "sms repeat", and not much with the Topaz. I had the same problem with my old Kaiser, and there was a great little program on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html) that I think was more about led notification but worked for my need to get repeat SMS notification. (I am a network engineer that is on call a lot)
I did a bunch of registry hacks on the Kaiser but nothing that worked very well and ended up using Phils program above, but not on my Topaz yet. It is still stock ATT rom.
I did find references to 3 other programs:
MissedCallReminder
PhoneAlarm
spb phone suite
The Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has a couple of varients, and looks like it might be easy to install, and has a small footprint piece called AlarmPal that has a feature of turning on and off bluetooth that might be helpful if battery life is an issue.
Phone Alarm supposedly works on 6.5. AlarmPal looks like just 6.1 and below, but there are posts about Diamond with a WM 6.5 ROM.(less than $12.00US)
Missed Call Reminder is from here (xda-developers) and looks like one of the moderators might be using it but the post is from Nov, 2008. He has updated it and the files in the cab are from April of 2009. It uses 236K of memory. Not sure if that is alot or little.
I do not have time today to try these out, but should have a little time later in the week.
I too would like this feature enabled. There has got to be reg tweak that will enable the "repeat" box to be checked under sounds & notifications. I will search around as well.
I found this in another forum so I will post it here too. It is over a year old post so I'm not sure if it works yet but I will try it out and post my findings if you all want to wait for confirmation if it works or not on WM6.5. Thanks to Jackalz for this find (http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/992968.htm).
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.
EDIT: I have just verified that these registry settings worked. I was able to enable the repeat option for New emails, new text and new mms message. CHEERS!
Edited post: I did the above registry tweak and as in the kaiser, It would not stop repeating after reading the sms. I deselected the repeat option and set the registry key back to 0000000b. back happy again..
Old post:
I will try that one.. On the old Kaiser, it would repeat, but unable to turn it off. It kept repeating, no matter what I did to turn it off.. Thanks,
Jack
SMS repeat notification
AlarmPal worked... and even quit "reminding" me after I turned it off..
SMS repeat notification program testing results
Missed Call Reminder: looks like low footprint but repeated Voicemail notification even when I did not have voice or voicemail notification on. Only way to turn off the voicemail notification was to actually listen to the voicemail, just acknowledging it would not turn off the alert. Also after opening it up once, have to reboot the phone to get back into the configuration. Not a problem if I was able to turn off the voicemail alerts.
Alarm Pal worked as advertised but memory usage climbed from 72% to 82% in 14hrs. Will reinstall and continue monitoring.

ah, maybe that's why they disabled it in the first place. haven't experienced that issue with email's or text messages on mine.
Repeat Notification SMS
Have been using Alarm Pal for a few weeks, and it works quite well. I still have the memory usage pump up to above 80% pretty quickly (8-16hrs) but I am a real heavy user of both email, text, alarms and phone. Any others using something different with a smaller memory footprint?

I used MSentinel, you could try that! (after installing you should check the settings - mine checked the status every 1s and drained the battery very fast)

On my Typhoon I used an modified version of MortScript-based reminder - it does not stay in memory, uses wm-s notifications system and executes itself after given time (made also a full hour bell from it ). Its even possible to create a custom scheduled task with it - for example run pim backup every saturday night.. The original script came with a rom from xda-dev. - dont remember the name of it
