SMS wakeup fixed on PPC2003PE

I made a small application (freeware in the first version) which allows you to fix the SMS feature of PPC2003PE.
You know: new SMS message arrived and only a short sound is played. The screen is black. (To be precise: your device was turn on to play the sound, but the screen was turn off - turn off the video buffer completely - to save battery. But I think in this way it is not working conveniently to read the message easy and useful.)

Now your PPC PE device will wakup and display the SMS message popup bouble info. And you can read it right now!
You can free download:

http://geocities.com/myppcpe2003/PEFIX10FREE.PPC2002.STRONGARM.cab
or from pocketgear.com (f.e. search for PPC2003PE)
This application displays a small icon on traybar, where you can access the options dialog or turn on/off the fix (SMS Wakeup). If you check the menu SMS Wakeup, your device will wakeup when the new SMS message arrived. Of course it will suspend again ion the time you set in general Settings/Power of your device. Then you can decide you can hide the icon and set it to auto-run after the soft-reset, so this application will work transparently.
On the home page, there is no descriptions or screens today. I will add it later when the shareware version will start (see the grayed options). Soon. I hope.
I'm awaiting any suggestions or comments: [email protected]

I 've tried it with 4.00.16 and it works fine. You rock! Thnx!

I like the fact that it keeps the screen off, but would love to fix another problem with message notification. Could you make it repeat the notification sound?

why?
why you want to repeat alert?
I tried PocketPlus which gives you repeatable sound alerts. But in the short time, I decided I did not wanted to use it in this way. Just because it disturbes me too much (for example when I'm on the meeting), or... if I use "infinitible" it can discharge battery.
Any way.
Simpliest solution, if you want bigger alert with more attentions, it is to use a longer and lounder sound file. You can set any sound file as your alert. Even with the play-time in minutes.
But.
Please check my program MY|PHONE|PROFILE.
It will give you more options to set alert files and action. You can use storage card to keep your sound files. You can change volume. And in the next version 5.0. it will give you the option to repeat alerts: 1, 3 or 5 times. I use: longer sound file in one Profile when I'm driving or shoping, and shorter sound file (just "gong once") when I'm on the meeting, and not sound at all but only vibrate when I'm on the cinema. To change the Profile - it is only the one touch of the screen.

Selly question will this work on PPC 3.17.03 PEFIX10FREE.PPC2002.STRONGARM.cab i notice it says PPC2002.

THX
thanks,
it is just my mistypped, but it works for PPC2003 only, of course

Just another question: I noticed that Phone Edition Fixes occurs in the list of actual apps. It is a bit inconvience, because if you select close all apps also the PEF will be closed. As look at Phonext which occurs in the taskbar, but doesnot occurs in the list of running apps.

In case I miss it. One of the things MS still hasn't fixed is that alerts don't play through the speaker if you have the headphones plugged in. Since it rings that way, obviously it is possible (any programmers want to take THAT on as a project?). So I miss things throughout the day since I leave the headphones plugged in while I do my business but don't always have them in my ears.
Does Pocket Plus repeat SMS alerts? I use SuperAlert, but it doesn't do those, just reminders.

I was one of the early testers over on PDAphonehome and just ended up with too many problems. I may give it another shot and see if it's stable now. I liked the idea.

For a work-related project we're working on, we are also very, very interested in making sounds come out of the speaker when the headphones are plugged in.

I have NO sounds for my notifications...

Yes, that's right, I don't even get a notification or a sound from my calendar when an appointment is due...
I don't know why this has happened, but I suspect I've done something in the registry...
I do get notifications and sounds when I for example receive a SMS, It's just the calendar that won't work...
Please help me asap
And I have also already checked the control panel, and there I have enabled sounds for notifications/calendar

Im not an expert but have the sound files corrupted or something along those lines? If you have your SMS sound working, have you tried assigning that sound to the one that doesn't work and seeing if it works?
Can't be much more help other than doing a hard reset if the above isn't any help.

Yes, I've tried that, but it's not working anyway... I now have it set to my SMS-sound, but no 'pling' on my appointments from my calendar...
and no notification either...

Same for me.
Notifications' sound has disappeared some weeks ago. Probably something I've installed.
At the moment on my phone I have very few applications, here they are:
- Advanced Config
- Beyond pod
- Facebook panel
- Mort player
- pocket player
- S2U2
- SmartPhone Tracker
- YouTube panel
Could you please check if we have some apps in common? Probably the problem is due to one of these.

Of these I only use YouTube panel and Facebook panel (don't use that one).
Did you check under sounds and notifications if you're sounds are still selected there? Did you change their location?
Hope your phone is not mute in any way...
Sorry, I have no other idea...

look at the options of the calender... (extras->options...)

I have the same problem. I do have an sms sound, but no incoming call sound or a notification from the outlook calendar. When i try and select any sound for incoming calls in the sound and notifications menu it plays perfectly. When I get an incoming call there is no sound at all. I also tried to change the settings to ring only, but nothing...
Programs I have installed:
Xperia tweak
TomTom 7
SecureW2
G-Alarm (but it was before I installed this)
Sony Pictures player (hmmm, this might be the one)
Modaco NoData
Total Commander

Notifications Sound Files

Hi all,
Wondered if anybody knows the location of a sound file I'm looking for and haven't been able to find ?
I have Best Reminder installed and have set Alert-Soft as it's reminder tone, and have also set this sound in Settings-Sounds & Notifications-Notifications, as my alert tone for missed calls, new sms,mms,email etc.
So when a new sms arrives for example, windows should make the Alert-Soft sound once, which it does, then Best Reminder should make the sound every X seconds as specified, but everytime the reminder sounds, windows is playing an extra sound as well, I have attached rough recordings of the two so you can hear the difference.
I think windows is playing this because of the missed calls popup it's displaying everytime the sound is played, so I either want to turn off the popup, which would be preferable but I think impossible, or extract the sound file and replace it with a silent version.
The only way I can find to stop it is by unchecking Notifications (alarms, reminders), but this also turns off all other notification sounds, so there is no initial sound when a sms,mms,email arrives, which is obviously no good.
Any help you can give me will be much appreciated.
Thanks Dave.

Found a solution to this in case anyone else is interested :
The file making the sound is \Windows\Alarm2.wav and is also used by some of my other apps, so I didn't want to make it silent.
So I made a silent wave file e.g. I called mine Silent.wav, and place it in \Windows.
Then edit the following registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
By default it's set to \Windows\Alarm2.wav so you just need to change the string value to point to the empty sound file \Windows\Silent.wav, and job done.
As far as I can tell this only changes the sound used for notification popups, I've tried all the other apps I use that use Alarm2.wav and they still use it ok.

Hello,
This is the closest thing I could find to an answer to my issue:
I want never to hear the sound "alarm2.wav" again. I hate it. Every time I want to soft reset, every time i want to add a calendar event from email to my calendar (sometimes i have to do like 20 in a row, and i hear that god-awful sound every time) every time any pop-up notifier message appears.
I changed the value for HKCU\Control Panel\Notifications\Default\Wave
to \windows\quietest.wav
In fact I went to all the settings and changed anything that was alarm2.wav to something else...
But to no avail. I cannot replace the file with another "alarm2.wav" as this is a ROM file and cannot be edited. I am so surprised that this has proved to be such a challenge! I have been able to customize so many things, I never would have anticipated so much difficulty in changing a simple sound

Ringtone in SPB shell 3

Firstable I don't know why I got to senior...cause don't know much.
I messed around with ringtone in MS3 and it's disable the sound& setting. Anyone know how I can get it back? I can't set incoming phone sound under sound & setting and get it to play. It just like no sound at all.....Setting>Sound&notification>Notification>Phone:Incoming call.. I can't get anything to play at all....

Notifications

Hi,
I am not being notified by an alert sound when I get am sms or voicemail or any of the notifications.
I believe everything is turned on to make the tone sound but it's silent. I am getting the notification in the with the flashing green LED and the notification icon in the title bar.
Please don't tell me I have a fault!! Grateful for any help.
Thanks

Same issue here.
Hard Reset solves it.
I found what trigger this problem for me is installation of a language pack.
I've read somewhere that someone said what triggered it for him was something about playing with location (country). What I saw is that after I install the language pack, my location is changed too (when I check in regional settings). Maybe this is the trigger...

I solved this by going into the Windows interface which can be damn tricky without a stylus!!
My Sense UI wasn't picking up the Windows settings, so the notifications were ticked in Sense but not in WinMo, and WinMo was the setting being used.
Possibly a fault with the Sense UI??
Thanks

Hi can you tell me how you mangaed to solve this
because i have been through the phne with a fine tooth comb and i cannot get that sms sent notification to work.
On closer inspection of the registry i do no think there is even a string for the notification (HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications ect.
In the windows sound settings there are settings for sent MMS but not Sent SMS or Sent Message.
On My old Blackstone it seems there ere far more notification options to be enabled or disabled as you wish. If anyone has an idea what string or information we could add to the above registry setting then i think we might have nailed it?
