I am after a utility, preferably free, that will enable the XDA2 to vibrate when it rings.
At the moment the only way I can get it to vibrate is by selecting it from the volume menu, but this then mutes the ringer.
Also I am after a utility similar to finger clix that will allow you to write a text message one handed.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Cheers

No need for a utility - just go to Start -> Settings -> Phone, and in the first drop-down list select "vibrate and ring".

This is more difficult. There is no T9 style text input program, probably because nobody has the necessary database. The only thing that might help you is the Full Screen Keyboard by Spb (see http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com ).

Concerning your vibrate whilst ringing problem, I know a GREAT free app that lives right here on this forum, if you haven’t come across it yet its called PocketZenPhone, the thread can be found here, its very long, right now it's at 45 pages :shock: :shock: so I recommend you start reading from about 20 odd pages back to get the gist of where the app is heading in the future.
This program allows you to set up 5 different profiles for example vibrate, quiet, normal, loud and off. It has the ability to control both BT and Radio.
Anyway now I’m just rambling, just go check the program out.
You can download the latest version from here.
Thanks for your responses guys,
I can't believe I missed that phone setting, what an idiot.
I'll have a butchers at pocketzenpone to, thanks.
I searched and cannot find the answer I am looking for... Hope I am posting in the right forum for this particular topic.
Anyway - I recently flashed my ROM to DCD's 3.1.2. I missed a step in the process and ended up with a Sprint phone for a day or two before I had time to switch back.
One thing I REALLY liked about the Sprint version was that when I had the phone set to vibrate and I got a text message or email, it gave two or three quick little vibrations... Now, after flashing properly, my vibration notifications are what they were with Verizon's stock ROM - an extremely long and loud vibration that draws more attention in a meeting than if I had the sound on!!
Any ideas on how to change the vibration back to what the Mogul has? I really like the quick and quiet vibrations.
Thanks!
Nobody? Should I have posted this in the Upgrading forum instead?
Just in case I didn't post clearly: When in vibrate mode and receiving a text, email, phone call, etc., on my Verizon xv6800 with DCD's 3.1.6 rom, I am getting one long buzz that is quite embarrassing while sitting in a meeting.
What I am looking for is to have it give two or three quick buzzes. I don't want a program to do this - I want to know if anybody has a registry hack or even a CAB file they have developed for this???
Like I said originally - when I accidentally flashed with Sprint's customizations, I got the three quick buzzes...
Anybody know the registry difference between Sprint's customizations and DCD's or Verizon's that causes this long buzz???
Thanks!
Ok - that's weird that you get a long buzz on a vibrating text notification. I'm using an XV-6800 with the stock ROM and get three short vibrations when I get a text message or e-mail notification.

this has been covered before. First, you need a registry editor, as one does not come on our phones. I use PHM Regedit. Navigate here from within the regeditor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB]
Edit the following:
"STRENGTH_LOW"=dword:00000000 (click on the name and change the "value data:" to 0)
wait 10 seconds or so, soft reset, and problem solved!
btw, PHM regedit can be found here if you need it: http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
i highly recommend you use the desktop installer to ensure you get the correct version on your phone.

Hey All,
I've been having this problem with inordinately long vibrations as well. (Sprint Mogul, running 20270)
I went to make the change mentioned in the previous post, and it's already set to 0. Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Note this is the vibrate that occurs when sound is *on* not off... I want to be able to get a vibration in addition to the sound for when I'm in a loud location.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I agree. I hate the extremely long/loud vibrate notification and would love to know how to change it?!

I can confirm this fix working on the VZW XV6800.
works
yes, it shortens it...however, its still 3 short bursts....I wish it could be 1 quick bzzz...
does vibration or popup notification of new messages/new mail work (both active and sleep state) on touch hd?
i do not get anything even i set it accordingly in the notification settings. all i see is a number pop up in touch flo tabs. deactivating touch flo does not help either.
any ideas?
Same problem here.
It worked sometimes, not it doesnt anymore and I dont know why (perhaps a confict with a program??).
Ascenca
sms notificatian not working anymore.
Same her not working anymore
its a bug that has been there since the HTC Diamond
fix?
anyway to fix it?
Please Help.
I cant live without sms notification!
There is a Registry tweak for the Diamond that fixes this - it should work on the HD too :
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message
set to "0" to enable wake up
EDIT : This was referenced from a Thread on the Diamond Forum
EDIT : Actually, having re-read your problem, this may not fix it - sorry.

Hd Tweak allows you to turn sms notification on.
Also make sure you have done
start--->settings--->phone---->services
then click on voice mail and text messages and then get settings.
Missing New Mail Missed Call Notification
I have the same problem phone does not display an new message or missed call icon in the upper tray. Seems to have happened after using HD Tweak and trying to hide the battery Icon, which is now in place of where the New Mail or Missed Call Notification Icon is normally displayed.
Anyone else expereincing this problem and any ideas for a solution?
Thanks.
Notification Problem Solved
Disconvered that I had an extra battery icon in upper tray from SPB plus. Removed thatand everything is now working fine.
My partner received his shiny new HTC Touch HD last week and after a few hours realised it was giving no notifications of text messages. Absolutely nothing as people have described here! It was new out the box and was making no noise, no notification on the Touch Flo, not even the standard Windows Mobile icon at the top. We tried every setting we could think of, and passed it to a friend whose had his HD for a couple of months now, who also couldn't find any good reason for its silence.
We gave in and hard reset the device (since it was only a couple of days old and he had yet to fill it with stuff!)
I'm glad to say, the hard reset solved all! No idea what the problem was, but it now gives all the correct notifications and obeys settings.
Just thought I'd share this in case others happen upon this problem since the thread gave us hope (in that others had the same problem) but no solution. I realise a hard reset isn't an elegant solution, but it did fix the problem
Fixed mine
Pauls suggestion for the diamond worked for me. My Touch HD running Energy ROM (WM6.5). I hadn't even noticed since my last ROM upgrade (i pressume) but my phone only alerted me to a new SMS when I had it switched on (not in stand-by). When I did notice I checked all the settings I could find for alerts and notifications, sms etc. The following registry tweeks fixed mine:

Hi there,
i didn't have this issue before but i have new sim card since a week and on vodaphone FR ( sfr) ...the thing is that when somebody calls me , at the first ring , the phone autoanswer to the call and i have no choice to speak !!!! if the phone is in my pocket, the time i take it , the phone has answered since a long time ...i don't know why it is like that .....
i have checked in the phone settings if i had had set the auto answer but no.
in HD tweak or Schaps3 , i did nothing like this .....
please help, it is more than annoying ......
another question: how to disabled the answering machine logo and notification displayed on screen when you have a new voice message ( i also have everytime "voicemail" displaying on the screen asking me to set the number)
thanks for help
i found the answer by enbaled the sleep function in hd tweak .....
so all is fine now ....but i still have the voicemail thing when a new voice message is waiting ...... if somebody knows .....
My phone always answers when I try to retrieve it from my pocket.
Very frustrating, any tips?
Maybe remap the keys? i didnt have a problem with this so far!
or use s2u2 to lock all buttons and use slide to answer feature.
this will sort out your problem besides its always a good thing to place your phone so the buttons face the bottom so when you pick it up you wont accidently press them.. make sence right?
cheers
Which version of s2u2 do you use I notice there are two on their web page - VGA or QVGA?
vga. it has inbuilt wvga support.
probably you have installed gyrator, which by default when you move your phone, it uses the g sensor to detect movement and answers your phone, go to the events of gyrator and disable the event
I had this too - thanks for pointing out that it was a behaviour of Gyrator.
How annoying! Turned it off now.
Hey, I have a hopefully quick question, but haven't been able to find the answer I'm looking for yet.
I have a Touch Pro 2 and am really starting to like the simplistic view of the Today screen without TF3D or the Windows Default views.
Unfortunately if you don't use TF3D or Windows Default, the Today screen doesn't display missed calls or voicemail notifications. Is there a simple plugin that will do this? I've done quite a bit of research and the only real solution I've been finding is PhoneAlarm which sounds good, but I am looking for a free solution.
Anybody have any ideas? I find it hard to believe there isn't a simple (free) plugin that will do this functionality...
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're going for the simplistic view, then why not use the LED notifications for when you have a missed call/voicemail/text/email? Also, even on the today screen, when you have a missed call or voicemail or text or whatever it should display an icon in the taskbar. Beyond that, you're right I have no idea of a free solution to this unless you enable Sense or Titanium. Maybe other people will know more, just thought I'd suggest the LED thing
Try HomeScreen PlusPlus here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm
Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm looking for something a bit more advanced than a flashing indicator on the phone I want to duplicate the functionality of the Home screen on Sense (that shows the voicemail and missed calls notification and allows you to directly call you voicemail and see the list of missed calls.)
I tried the HomeScreen PlusPlus, but it appears to only track outgoing calls/texts and not the missed calls and new voicemails...

HomeScreen PlusPlus can do just that, but you need to write your own MortScripts or modify existing ones. The DigiClock skin provides these functions, but I think the graphics it comes with are for QVGA screens, so if you used VGA graphics with the skin you'd get your functionality. I may have MortScripts I modified that does exactly what your looking for as well, before I moved to Pointui Home2. Let me know if you want them and I can post them for you...
That would be great if you could post them - I'd love to try them out.
Thanks!
