Disable New SMS Auto Wake Up and Turn On Screen?

Hi,
I've owned the Xperia for a week and it's a great WinMo device. However unlike Touch Pro or Diamond, there's no registry tweak available to turn off the auto wake up on new sms feature.
I found it really annoying. Everytime a new SMS arrived when the phone was in my pocket the screen automatically turned on, and as I was walking my jeans' pocket continuously "touched" on the phone screen and accidentally opened bunches of programs and scroll up and down until it hanged.
It will be perfect to just make sound + vibrate, but keep the screen off, as I could do on Touch Pro.
Anyone knows of such a solution please do help!

I need to bump on that...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
aint advanced config 3.3 working for that?

I was having this problem too... the only thing I changed to attempt to fix this was instead of pressing the power button to sleep the phone before I put it into my pocket, I press and hold the end key so that it locks the phone and dims the screen. The screen eventually turns off and it requires you to unlock the phone when you power it back on. When you receive an SMS or Email, the screen still lights up, but you have to press unlock, then tap unlock to start using it.

Yes, I have the same problem too and hope we can have the option to turn it off so that the screen will not lighted up when there is new sms or call.
Can someone work on this?

The registry key used for the tweak that works on Touch Pro does not exist, which is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

That option is for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only, and it does not show on Xperia when you use Advanced Config. It's obviously related to the registry key mentioned above.

I have found the solution, just need to use any registry editor like the Resco Registry Explorer or the SKTools to edit the registry.
Dont want the device to wake up on new SMS ?
It still notifies you with sound/vibrate/LEDs, but the screen will not turn ON
Just add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

Has anyone tried this out to see if it works...???
Cheers

I have tried it myself and it works, I don't have to worry that I might press anything on the screen when there is incoming SMS.

Thanks for getting back to me...
I was having this problem... when in my pcoket and getting tx message and the opt pad going all over the screen... kinda funny...
Im assuming when updating this key will be deleted and have to be put in again???
Thanks

Not sure about yours but I do not have this key so I have to create a new one and it is working.

I need to create it...
Does it need to be where the
HKCR
HKCU
HKLM
are???
Cheers
Sorted now and working well...
Thanks again

Put it in HKLM.
However Resco registry give me an error and doesn't create this dword. Very very strange...

Using your Registry Explorer an go to the below location :
Location in Registry : HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Select "New" D_Word and you will be asked to enter the details :
Top portion just enter : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
and bottom portion just enter the value : 1
Save it and you should find the details there :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

For easier way, you can download the latest Xperia Tweak and it include the option to turn off the screen for any incoming sms.

Confirmed Work!
I can confirm this solution works perfectly! I thought if the value does not exist means the device does not support it. Thanks chongbh!

Threaded / unthreaded SMS

Hey peeps
I've found this registry tweak in the Kaiser forums, but worked like a charm on my original Iolite too:

You have to create the OEM folder yourself but apart from that it seems to work okay.

I didn't even had to reset or delete my device to see the changes. Just close all programs and I made the tweak with Total Commander (from Ghisler).

U can dissolve this with advancedconfig 3.3
.NET 3.5 must be installed.
Greetings Mirko

one step ahead
Thx for the information.
After adding the reg key, my device playes the "new sms arrived" sound. Great.
But if I miss the sound, or the ringer is turned completely off, I do not see an indication for the new message unless I manually activate the screen.
I would also like to have the LED (on the top of the device) indicating that there is a new unread message.
Any idea?
Greetings!

The iolite have only one LED, the other is a light-sensor to correct the brightness automatically.
Try this: Start - Settings - Sounds & Notifications.

Thanks a lot for this nice hint!
I really started to dislike the threaded way already.
But I had to reset my Iolite to swap to unthreaded sms.

SMS Vibrate with switched off screen

Hi -
Having a problem with SMS notification. Don't remember whether it started after I installed HD Tweak or before.
If I specify via HD tweak not to wake up a phone when SMS arrives - I receive no sound/vibrate notification on sms unless I switch on the screen.
If I specify to wake up a phone, then everything works fine - vibrate works, BUT the screen also switchs on and so I can make accidentally touches
So is it possible to have Vibrate, Sound and NO switching on the screen when I receive SMS on the HTC Diamond2?

Yeah, i never found a solution to this myself.
So i've installed Pocketshield (disabled everything but the slide-locking), and enabled the WakeUp in the registry.

This is the default behavior, at least on my device. When I first got the device it annoyed me that I had to turn on the device manually to read a message, so I changed the reg value that controls the screen on on new messages. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a similar fix (reg value) for incoming emails though.
Regards,
PK

what reg tweak did you use?
or do you mean that you have enabled switching on the screen - in the same way as it is done via HD Tweak?

My device is stock and it has that behavior default! When I receive a SMS, a sound and vibration announce me, while the screen remains off!

to check “Vibrate” from Setting/Sounds&Notifications.
Then you can have " virbrate function " under suspend mode when SMS incoming~ have fun~

Hi
You should be able to fix these problems be increasing the "resuming from suspend timeout" values under Power using Advanced Config. By default it is one second which often isn't enough time for the phone to sound/vibrate when an SMS is received so try changing it to 10 or 15 seconds. When it is one second the phone goes back to sleep too quickly and sometimes the sound or vibration hasn't had to time be triggered.

Phil

How to turn off screen off on call?

Hi,
Wonder if someone can give me a quick answer to this problem...basically when I make a call the screen automaticaly turns off after a few seconds until a hardware button is pressed...is there anyway to turn off this feature? Just that I want pocketshield to completely control the way the screen turns on/off during calls? A registry edit perhaps?
Thanks

HD Tweak (http://montecristoff.webs.com/hdtweak.htm) will sort that out for you. It's one of the first options.

hi,
look to this prog,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
have fun

I've got HD Tweak but changing the settings for sleep to off doesn't make any difference.
Also have Touch In call tweak - its a good program but would prefer not to use too many programs and if pocketshield can do the same thing I'd prefer that.
I'm using Duttys 6.1 ROM is this anything doing with HD tweak not working? Does anyone know the registry key to change the screen going to sleep on making a call?
Thanks

Use your registry editor regedit.exe, should be one already on your rom. If not on your apps list try in /windows

will this tip affect only while on call?
thx

I use:
Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak v1.1.2.CAB
When holding the HD vertical the screen is dark en doesn't react to touching.
When you hold your HD horizontal the screen is active and can be used as normal.
This works only when a call is active.
Good luck!
(same advice as rambo12345)

notification led

does anyone know how to make the notification led stay on for more than 5 mins for example when receiving an sms? I've looked in settings but the option is grayed out.

Yes go to your settings icon, then go down to the right and press and hold the quickmenu at the bottom right, it's called ""menu" all settings" , there's a bunch of legacy settings to be found there including all the notification settings you and I were used too.
Reply greatly appreciated

You need to edit the registry in order to get access to the settings for LED notification. Look in the thread "hints and tips" for the reg settings. Once applied, you can then change the LED notification time under windows settings.

Is there also a way to make the LED flash when you receive emails?

Did you guys read my post at all, there is no need for registry hacks, the menus are already there. You can do everything you used to do in 6.1 or 6.5

lucid yes we read it but the option for how long the led runs for is grayed out so you can't change it in the legacy settings.
anyone know the registry hack needed?

post by mistake

My sincerest excuses. I went to that screen to verify it existed, not to verify it
was customizable.. my bad..
So... where is that registry hack ?
