I use the "Automatic" profile in "Settings - Sounds" which switches the phone to Vibrate if it is during the time period listed as an appointment in the calendar, which is great. However, I've noticed that it doesn't always return the phone to ring once the appointment time is over. The idea is useful but I've missed some important calls as a result of it not changing back.
A related issue is that the Sounds profile defaults to "Normal" after a soft-reset which means that I have to remember to go back into settings to change back to Automatic - which is annoying. Will the HD Tweak fix either or both of these issues?

Is it possible to change something in the registry in order to achieve both vibrating and audial alerts for alarms related to tasks, appointments and such?
As I have understood, it is possible to mute the sound and turn on vibrating alert. However, I'm very interested in using them both at the same time...
I've scanned the forum, but could only find a registry change making it possible to have increasing ring tones together with the vibrating feature.
Thanks!
Not sure if i've missed something, but i dont think you need any changes to the registry.
Settings (personal tab)
sounds & notifications
Notifications tab:
pick "reminders" (or whatever) pick the sound file and tick the "vibrate" box

Thanks a lot for that! Don't know how I managed not to notice those settings...
No problem
Personally i use Pocket Zen Phone (although there are others) which allow you to have different profiles wilthout having to manually change all settings every time (ie STFU when i wanna sleep, extra loud everything at work so i hear it, same but with bluetooth for the car etc).
Basically you can then have different sounds/vibrate options depending what you are doing.
I set all my sms/mms/notifications to nothing but "Display message on screen" because I'm using phonealarm which handles all the vibrating/alarms but every time I SR my device the settings go back to default, the only thing that stays is my Incoming Call setting. Does anybody else have this? Anyone know where the settings are in the registry? Maybe i can do an import on startup. I know that some settings are in HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds but these seem to be just for the ringing sounds and not the notification settings.
Hello there!
I need the ability to change profiles between my free time and my work time. I tried phonealarm and while I liked it, it didn't seem to want to talk to the notifications for Windows Mobile properly.
When I had it set for my 'home' profile, I had my email notification set up to play a sound AND vibrate. However, if I was just checking the windows notification settings, it would totally eliminate my selections.
Does anyone recommend a good profile software? I need something that's going to be able to switch from a regular home profile to a custom, silent yet vibrating profile for work....
You can try DontForget. There is just Smartphone version, which you can try but the real PocketPC version will be availbale soon.

what i do is i set up meetings in pOutlook when i have class and put them on reoccurring events and then have the phone notification settings turned to automatic, so the phone automatically goes to vibrate when there is a "meeting"
I was wondering if there was any way of allowing voice command to still voice the notifications from the calander while the phone is on vibrate...
I dont want to have to switch a bunch of things in the phone when i walk into work to get it to work correctly... I also have htc home - schen 2.10 and would like to be able to actively switch through there for the different sound options...
is there a reg value that i can edit? or something with the htc home that i can setup to just vibrate under the last option in the menu to my custom settings to set to just vibrate and stop sounds and notifications but allow the voice command come through without issues?
Thanks,
Dan
You can use a "silent" ringtone and set the phone to ring & vibrate. There is one around called silent.wav -- you can probably find it if you search for it.
that will solve one of my problems, but what about silencing the notifications for text messages... i want everything to vibrate but the voiced reminders....
uhm maybe use the same wav file for notifications too?
notifications can play a sound and vibrate at the same time?
Check out settings>personal>sounds & notifications>notifications. The event option is a dropscreen and you can pick the different things to configure.
Cheers...
brilliant... i was looking for this before but had a blonde moment appearantly...
now, is there any way to setup the sound settings in the htc home to revert to different ringer settings with the 4th option on the page? so at work i could have it work as one setting, and outside i can select the first and i can have it revert to ring and everything as normal?
i would like to custom set the different profiles...
Problem is windows mobile doesn't have more than 3 profiles. If you want more your going to have to install a 3rd party program.
So how do I turn this alert off.
Problem is that it wakes the whole house at night when I leave phone chargeing.
As I understand it, it is in the same category of signals as an SMS.
Do want to hear when SMS received.
I have gone through the menus 101 times.
There are 2 things.
1 is default notification. Settings->Sound->notifications (The notification center)
2 is the sound each application will give when notified. This overrides the 1
If the app has been set to default (which it normally is) then it tell the phone to sound the default notification as defined in 1
So in your case go to 1 and make it silent (this will silence all notification even full charge one. ringtone is not effected)
Now since u still want SMS/GMAIL/Calendar etc to notify. Open those apps, go to their settings and select the sound you want to hear when they want to notify. Just open them and press menu, select settings and see notification options and configure it in the app itself to sound whatever notification you want to hear. In my case SMS/Gmail/K9/GV/Calendar etc have different sounds so I know if it needs immediate attention.
THANK YOU, I would never have figured this out myself.
Followed your description, and I'm sure it works.
