Hello!
Any idea how I can turn off notifications and reminders so they wouldn't bring my herm out from sleep? I have turned off all such things, including sounds, to preserve battery but they still bring my unit online. And If I don't look at the moment, I miss that and at the end (or morning) the battery is empty...
anyone? Im only one?
ooookey, where I can change these in registry?
You should probably have the setting to turn off your device or put it to sleep after 30secs or so. When the notification or reminder has sounded for a bit, your device should automatically get back to sleep, saving your battery.
FYI, sounds and notifications options can be found at Start > Settings > Sounds and Notifications
Find "Reminders" in that dropdown and turn of all the features you don't want.
And if nothing helped and still you don't want these notification, why do you create them in the first place?
Regards,
Carty..

Just do what Carty said, but go threw each Drop down item, and uncheck everything that you can for that item.
Thank you for your respond. I have to admit that I expressed myself a little bit wrong. I don't want that reminders and etc bring my units display online.
And for clearance for Carty, perhaps I maybe want to read my notifications when I have time for these

I bet I'm not the only one that finds the Menupop sound VERY annoying, specially in a crowded area. You need to do something on the XDA and you click the start button (CLICK!) and the crowd goes silent for a sec and turns to you, wondering wth is going on.
So, anyway of turning this sound off? renaming or deleting MenuPop.wav doesn't work. For some odd reason Microsoft has made this sound "an integral part of the pocket pc operating system".
you can disable this by pressing "settings" -> "sounds and notifications" -> then uncheck the box of "events" from the enable sounds for"...right?
What else does this turn off? It seems to turn off a lot of sounds, and not only the click and pop sounds.
Thanks though.
from what i remember it turns of the menu sounds, the clicking sounds when you press an app and other related items. it doesn't turn off the alarms, sms notifications, calendar / task notices, etc.
Well I took the phone out of the house for the first time today. And all I can say it, how annoying it was being.
Is there anyway to stop the phone going of everytime is switching services (3G, HSDPA, GPRS etc) Everytime that stopped, swapped or got activated my phone went off. I was constantly checkingn it thinking I had mail or sms's, it was driving me mad
How can I get my phone to vibrate while on loud? Even though its on loud, its quite hard to hear when your out. But then if I put it on vibrate and I go inside, sometimes I dont feel it go off while walking or sitting down.
Any solutions?
Oh, and how do I set .mp3's as ringtones/alarm tones/sms tones etc. Can I only use the ones in the list?
The "Search" button is your best friend in here...why don't you give it a try first
Yeh I just get loads of random results for other phones.
I tried a few things but they didnt work
Edit: repeat post
I know this isn't much help but on my stock rom I managed to turn these off, it wasn't anything special it was in a menu somewhere, where I could stop it notifying me, so it is possible. Im afraid im no longer using that rom so I cannot check, the one im on at the moment has them off as default it seems.
Took me about 5 minutes to find the menus on my X1 (first WM phone I've owned) for all the problems you have listed. I suggest you either do a search or play around in the Settings.
Maybe the original poster is having difficulty 'cos they are looking for options not settings...
first thing I do when I get a new machine is RTFM no matter what it is (usually while I'm waiting charge, but not needed with the LiPo here) then start experimenting with menus. It's not hard...
There's an online help system here. http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/GettingStarted.php?ModelID=344&e=0 I suggest you read it
What do you mean by "turning the phone off" what's happening ?
is the screen just going blank, (it does this or new users would be screaming about the poor battery life)
Is the entire unit shutting itself down?
Is the phone part (this is not a phone it's a pocket pc, the phone is only a part of it) turning itself off?
Maybe that's the problem, this is a very advanced device, people seem to be ignoring this..

Select Start => Settings => Select "Connections" tab => Select "Advanced Network" => From the drop down menu select "Disable".
I don't know if this solution would work for you because I haven't encountered the same problem that you have.

Follow these steps:
Select Start => Settings => Select the "Sounds & Notifications icon => Select the "Notifications" tab => In the "Ring type" field, select "Vibrate and ring".

Ringtones: Just select the file you want as your ringtone and hold down until the menu comes down and from the bottom of the menu, just select "Set As Ringtone".
Alarm tones & SMS tones: Files must be in .wav format and save them into your Windows folder. Once that is done, your tones should be available from the drop down list of tones.
Hey Guys, thanks for the solutions.
However none of tem were what I was after. I dont explain myself very well.
When I say, the phone goes off when switching between 3G, HSDPA etc i mean it either vibrates of beeps depending on which mode its on.
As for the vibrating while on loud. I have it on vibrate and ring which it does, but when I recieve an SMS it just beeps when on Loud. I would like it to vibrate too like it did on my old SE

For your SMS Notification settings; "Messaging: New text message" is there a check mark in the "Vibrate" field?

I'm looking for an option to let the phone vibrate in small intervals and not one long everlasting vibration.
In the sound/notifications tab you can only select "vibration" and not the style of the vibration.
Am I missing something or does someone know an addon?

Search for VAlert, it allows incoming calls to "pulse" (and you can define the pattern).

Thanks! Small and effective programm.
this forum is heaven..without it i would have sold off my Xperia in first week.
i sold my iphone 3g due to lack of customizability..and it doesnt let u do so much stuff.
Just got a TD 2. Really love it after using Eten M600 for years.
But, somethings got me stumped. Frequently the device vibrates for a few seconds without any connection to an obvious event. I've checked that the phone ringer is not set on vibrate. I also checked sound & notifications - theres no event that I can see set to vibrate. After it happens, I check the notifications - and there is no event listed there.
So what is causing this to happen?

does it vibrate when u touch the dispaly?
No, just vibrates for no apparent reason.
No calls or events or notifications.
There must be a cause - I just cannot think what it could be.

Did that - box is unchecked.
Still a bit of a mystery.
Thnx for your advice thou!
If i set an alarm, and pick a sounds for it like "alarm-snooze" (one of the louder ones) when it comes time for the alarm, it pops up on the device with a single little high pitched "alert" beep, but does not play the alarm sound i selected.
This is a huge problem for me as i use my phone for my waking up alarm, and that tiny beep doesnt wake me up -
why isnt it using the alarm sound i have selected?
Does anyone else see this?
any way to fix?
Thanks
I have noticed the same issue two times now. Last night and this morning when I had to wake up to work. Didn't sound the alarm I separately choosed. It didn't actually play any sound at all although it wasn't in silent mode whatsoever.
go to settings>sounds and notifications and check the first option too, then go to the tab notifications (the right tab), choose event: Reminders and uncheck playing the sound. You can leave the show messega on the screen if you like to.
you're describing donig it thru the "all settings" area, to do it through the HTC settings apps...
go to
Settings > Sound & Display
then select "Notification Sounds"
then set "Reminders" to OFF
It will then play the Alarm sound we selected
Thanks for the tip! its rubbish that the tiny reminders "bip" takes precedence over the Alarm sounds we select!

You are both correct...
Chris, although they are 'generic', the function can be performed either from hyellow method or yours.
btw.. what is your field of medicine?
Haha, sorry I'm not a medic, research physicist

ok then but what happend to calendar notification by setting reminders to OFF?
Hey I am new to these forums and the CM7 ROM for the shift. I put it on last night and I am having some trouble with the notification settings. On the stock sense ROM I was able to set my notifications to vibrate when I got one, mainly a text message. On the CM7 ROM for notifications I can only put it to "no noise" at all or a ringtone, like a beep. I would like to have a vibrate option but I cannot seem to find one. I appreciate all the help. Let me know if you need any more information, thanks.
try this: go into settings then sound setting, then under general tap on vibrate and set it to always..
or u can open up ur messages then hit menu and then settings the scroll down to notifications make sure notifications are checked then go to notification settings and tap vibrate and set it to always

That worked! Thank you, I didnt even think about going about it that way.
I had this problem too...
Go to Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget
Now check "Notification Power Widget" and then go into widget buttons.
Pick whatever tickles your fancy, but make sure toggle sound is on. You can also change the types of sound in the bottom "Sound Modes" Category and you caan change the order if you hit "Back" then "Widget Button Order".
Now reboot your device and when it turns back on, slide down the notification bar and at the top there should be a toggle which looks like Vibrate/Sound/Silent and that's how you change the sound!
I am also having this issue. i have no vibrate on any text messaging or even gmail .
I have the newest cm7, have tried turning vibrate on where ever i could. Wiped and re flashed but have the same problem .
phone will only vibrate on call and when i change from silent to vibrate.
