Hello Everyone,
I am new to the board and I have been searching for an answer to a problem with WM5 that I cannot find. We use our devices, I-Mate JasJar's and I-Mate K-Jam's, to receive Pushed email, Text messages, phone calls...etc.
One of the main featues that I need, although small, is to be able to set WM5 notifications for new text messages or emails to repeat. The setting is subdued, whereas some other notifications give you the option to repeat the alert. I feel like this should be up to the user to decide whether to use it or not...no microsoft...:x
Anyway, is this a possible registry hack or an update that i don't know about?
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.
this is killing me
I have tried everything I can think of...i downloaded a registry editor and modified the registry under notifications under HKCU...i was able to make the "Repeat" function available for use for a NEw Text Message...but it wouldn't repeat...nothing i did would make it repeat...this sux..
Anybody have any ideas yet....thanks...
Yes! It's crazy that you can't set notifications to repeat and "bug" you! My wife's Motorola V3 RAZR phone does this for every text message / voice mail. Very annoying - but also very useful!
PocketMax "phoneAlarm does exactly what you want. An official version for WM5 is not quite ready, but there is a beta version which seems to work, hidden away in the support forums:

Hope this helps!
hey guyz, i need some help with a this silly problem, i installed photo contacts pro, ony my jasjar, its working like a charm with no compatibilty problems, but everytime i rcv a call, the default alerting system alerts me for the call, and the full screen of photo contacts apperas in the background wich is sure cauzing alot of delay, but the phone can luckly handle it, i would really love to know if there is a solution to this problem, or there is a way of disabling this function in windows, ill be thankfull.
best regards
Has anyone successfully got phonealarm working on a Titan or under WM6.1?
I have a new work VX6800 and dont want to get woken up for status emails at 3am, but do want to know if there is a problem. So I set up phonealarm to sound only for specified email addresses.
So far the different profiles have only got me a phone that alerts for every mail or no mails! not quite what I was after.
I can go in to more detail of my config if anyone can help. I also have a test case open with phonealarm, and will update if I get a reply if anyone has the same issues.
Thanks
Yes, I have it working
I have it working and my trial just expired so I need to go buy it. It seems to be the best app to accomplish the goal, I'm in the same boat and use it as you described.
I was hoping it would also work with Pocket Informatn but it looks like the other app they sell will do that so I think I need to buy both.
If you get me more details on what you setup I can tell you what I did. My alerts are based on different subject messages / priorities on my inbound txt (SMS). I've not yet worked on different times (can't recall if it does that) but do notice that different profiles do in fact impact the sounds played.

Thanks for the reply, at least I know that there is not a hardware issue now. PocketMAX support also replied and said it was something to do with the repeating alarms that I set to "no alert".
I will test this later and see how I get on.

I have been using phone alarm since it was in its 1.0 state.
I have my phone updated to 6.1 and it works fine.
I've read some posts about lags in sms, but those were more related to the fact that, when sending to a contact with huge sms-history, the lag will occur.
I, and many users with dutch rom, have problems with sending messages to contacts, even without any sms-history. Messages will not send or i get a delivery report hours after i send the message. Even receiving messages is problematic. Only a soft-reset will solve the problem, but only for a few hours
Anybody an idea? Even better: a solution? It's getting really annoying.
A sollution could be disable the HTC Messaging and enable the "old" sms style like the outlook client.
The patch for this option disables mms, so thats not an option..
Maybee anyone who does know a better sollution?
I really never use mms, so thats a pretty good option for me, how could I disable the htc messaging ?
On another forum i've read this, but didn't do the job for me:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Compose -->string 'ExecPathName' --> change in 'Tmail.exe'.
I still want to use MMS, though is not that important. If it solves the sms problem, that would be nice. However, in my opinion it should work ok, even with SENSE on, so for now it's a nice workaround (if possible)
hehe thats the same solution that I tried from tweakers.net but also for me it didn't solve my problem
changing that registry string results in a not working button when ticking "More"..
hey guys,
ive always had a few bugs with this HD2 (some seem pretty common, and tolerable/fixable)... but lately ive been having so pretty frustrating problems, causing me to soft reset 10+ times a day.
ill try list these issues and describe them accurately, and if anyone has any suggestion on ways to resolve them... i would greatly appreciate the help.
- often freezes when trying to send SMS messages. i use Zenyee's sms patch, to allow my to use the WINMO client. what usually happens is, i can select to create a new SMS, type the SMS all without hassle... but as soon as i hit the send button (bottom left softkey)... i get the windows loading animation (4 coloured dots circling in center of screen), and thats where is freezes, i have given the phone hours to 'load' and complete the SMS send operation... but it jsut sits there.. loading.
- i have another common issue relating to SMS. it seems the HD2 cannot recognise when i have read an SMS. i receive a new SMS, i open, read, and sometimes delete the new SMS... but sense still displays the 'unread' icon on the slide-bar. S2U2 also is still seeing an unread SMS... but there is no unread SMS. this happens 95% of the time when i receive and SMS. i have to reset to get rid of this notification OR if i reply to this new SMS... once i have dismissed the "message sent' notification, the phone recognises the fact i have no unread SMS.
- quite often i cannot wake my phone up from being asleep, this also seems to happen only when i receive a new SMS. i get the flashing LED (at ear speaker) letting me know i have an unread SMS/call/etc, but upon hitting the hardware buttons to wake phone up... i get no response.
- there are also a few occasions where i dont receive any SMS at all, over the last few days... ive had quite a few people call me and ask if i received the SMS they have sent me. i have also tested this myself, sent myseld about half a dozen test SMS with out receiving any of them. i am still receiving some messages, but there are also quite a few that i am not getting. this issue could be caused by my network provider, thought id mention it anyway.
it seems that most of these issues are SMS related. i did have quite a few texts in my inbox and sent items box (around 1500), but i have deleted many of them and am now down to around 300, and im still having problems.
so... if anyone has any suggestions to resolve these issues... i welcome the advice. before i resort to hard reset.
cheers guys.

sorry i do not experience this problem at all and i believe this is uncommon. there is a new sms function update hotfix posted by HTC couple of days back. this updates the messenging client to 2016. try it.
did you try uninstalling your sms cab that you are using and trying that for a few days to see if you still get the freezes? If you are stock you should try the previous posters suggestion and update your ROM and try it without the sms cab and see how it goes.
thanks for the tips guys, ill have a look at the hotfixes. with the telstra ROM i have, i can use the HTC SMS client without the major lag issues - but i still prefer the WINMO client for the folder support and other functions that are absent in the HTC client.
ill check out your suggestions, and let you know how it goes.
cheers again for taking the time to read and reply.
after looking at the htc site, i have noticed that the new SMS hotfix only applies to ROM versions less than 1.66.
that suggests my current ROM may already have these fixes applied.

cheers for the help though.

i'm running 1.66 ROM and is still able to install. I still think there is no harm downloading and try installing the hotfix. if it says unable to install, so be it. =)
fair call, im downloading it now. will certainly let you know how it goes.
thanks mate.
I installed HTC's SMS hotfix, and it seems they have increased the folder support in their SMS client. previously... from what i can remember, they had only a few SMS folders visible in their client, i think it was 'inbox', 'sent' and 'drafts'. now they have increased this and added 'outbox' and 'deleted items'.
anyway, this newer version of the HTC SMS client is much more usable than previous incarnations of this client.
and having removed zenyees SMS patch... i have had no repeat offences of any of the above listed issues. it has only been 12 hours-ish... but it is looking good so far.
the only problem i have now with the HTC SMS client is the integration with S2U2 (SMS slide to view defaults to conversation mode in the HTC client - i would prefer traditional mode). and also there is a text selection issue in the new message screen. i use the swype SIP and i frequently need to fix up my incorrect word inputs, in the WINMO client, this was easy (double tap the word, the select the correct word from the word suggestion list), however... in the HTC SMS client... double tapping does not select text, sometimes if i tap 4 times i can select the word and promt swype's word suggestion list to appear... but not always).
but these issues with HTC's SMS client are far more tolerable than the problems i was experiencing with the WINMO client.
thanks for all your help guys.
i will keep you posted on further developments.
cheers.
Glad that the hotfix helps in one way or another. On the other hand, now we all knows this hotfix doesn't actually limit to ROM 1.66 and below.
it does seem to increase to functionality of the HTC SMS client. but between 1 ROM upgrade and almost never using the HTC client... i cannot be 100% sure that these new 'features' are infact new. i know the 1.6X telstra ROM had a pretty weak HTC SMS client, and they did improve it alot for the 1.7X ROM - lessened the lag, and a few other fixes. after i upgraded to the 1.7X ROM, i still used the SMS patch to have the WINMO client as my default... so i never payed to much attention to that version of the HTC SMS client.
as i posted above, i have now noticed the improved folder support in the HTC SMS client... but i cant be 100% sure that this is a result of the 1.7X ROM upgrade... of the SMS hotfix. though i do think it was the hotfix, and the hotfix certainly did install without issue.
so if anyone else is using the latest telstra stock ROM.... what is the HTC SMS client like? enhanced folder support? less lag?
cheers again.
