Dear forum,
I am new to this forum. May I ask:
My new HTC HD2 does not vibrate or sound on text messages, despite all my efforts in the settings. Help?
Thank you.
David
Hey raveh,
I you scroll all the way to the settings tab, select "sound and diplay" (sorry i'm translatin from my french rom, so use your imagination if the terms are not exactly the same), then "notification sound", select one of the items (eg: text message), you'll see on top of the page a "scroller" Vibrate [Deactivated------Activated------Only]. You just have to select whichever one you want in every section of the settings.
Hope that helped
Cheers
too easy to solve this
Thank you, but this is the obvious, and it does not help at all.
I was even asked to go to setting, press menu, go to all settings, and from there to do it - it did not help either.
The HD2 sounds and vibrates to phone calls, but does not sound or vibrate to text messages. Any idea why?
Sincerely, David.
Hi Raveh, is your problem sounds and vibrates solved? I have similar problem on vibration.
Thank You.
vibration and sounds of text messages
Thank you for the interest.
What I found so far is interesting and goes like this:
When people buy this HD2 (a wonderful device, I think) the Hebrew speakers try to install a free Hebrew program. It works well but not perfectly. However, it stops the vibrations and sounds of the text messages. I did hard reset, the Hebrew was deleted, and the HD2 returned to vibrate and sound to text messages. Chats in Hebrew revealed this problem. Maybe other downloads do it as well, not only Hebrew, and probably not intentionally. One person posted a solution: he showed to go to the registry, and to change a numeric parameter (something like "1033" in the MUI folder there. I am not professional enough to do it. I will have to ask help from the real pros. If you do it, let me know here or write to [email protected].
Good day and best wishes, whereever and whoever you are.
Hi Thank for sharing. I do a factory reset and hard reset. But to no avail. Had try to search every forum, but still can't find any answers. I will bring it to htc service centre soon. Thank again.

I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
You can also try with Sound Manager or something like that and change the settings that you can't change on the options that came with the device
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull

i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance
put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.
bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0

1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help
I've got my first kind of PDA; the HTC Touch Dual..
I've found out the most functions of the Phone, but I still have a problem.
When I get a Text message, there is a small screen. The only Options I have then is to ignore the message or answer it.
I want to completely open the message and then I want to choose wether or not I want to answer it. Is there a option for..?
This is what i don't get about the phone, so I hope one of you guys can help me out.
BTW; I'm sorry if you can't understand my english. I'm from the Netherlands, So thats why.
welcome on board and good you chose a niki ;-)
please be reminded that all your questions are already answered ... use the search function and you will see .
i found areally excellent post of a extreme noob in the kasier thread . it is worth reading - give it a go
good luck to you and make search button your favorite ;-)
cheers
OK.. Ive tried that
I found an answer for my first two questions
But I still don't have an answer for my last 2.
I did found the tweaks, but i dont know how to ''insert'' them into my touch dual..
that's good ! ;-)
there are some reristry tweaks to get more battery life
you can not edit reg keys until you install a registry editor or explorer onto your niki .... i am using sktools ... but i know that there are various registry editors around here ( again serach ). if you are not sure how to edit keys or even how to use a reg editor google a bit about windows registry and and backup your old registry first bevor trying ! ;-)
as for the last question ... don't know what you exactly mean . do you want this message ? do you want to get rid of it ( edit values in start-settings-sounds and notifcations )
hope this helps
oke.. ill check that out..
But with that Text message stuff, I mean this;
With a normal phone, you get a warning that you have an SMS and then you can click on a button so it will open the text message.
I want this too on my HTC.
At the moment I only get a small notification screen with the text message written very small.
Then I only have the options to asnwer it or ignore it..
So I always have make several clicks to finally get to my sms..
alright .... i am led to believe that you have the option with the left softkey to read entire message and with the right softkey to ignore, mark read, reply, close etc - but i may be wrong.
workaround : request text with "the bottom line" only ;-)
... there maybe another xda dev who can help on last question.
Just purchased a X1 yesterday. The 1st impression about the phone is speechless. But i have one simple question- When a call comes then there are two options for selecting,1-Silence,2-Reject with sms. But i can silent the phone by pressing the volume keys,so i don't need the "silence" feature. It would be very good if its an Answer feature on the screen,so i don't have to press the answer key. So please tell me how to disable the silence and enable the answer on the screen.
Please guys rep asap.
You can try the blackstone dialer. It gives u a slider to answer or reject and an option to send a text
If you go to Settings->Phone and select the Advanced Tab you have an option "Reject calls with text message" or something similar (I don't have the english UI).
If you deselect this you get Answer on the left soft button and Reject on the right. It won't give you any fancy phone button, but at least it's on the screen. And the reject button gives a busy tone to the caller.
Thanks guys for the feedback. I've another query. Thats about disabling the threaded sms in x1. I have two or three cab files in my pc,which worked pretty fine on my Htc Kaiser,but those files are not opening as a cab file. I have a cab file called sms mode v31,now when i double clicked it's showing a lot of files like-001,002...016 etc.,which can't be installed in the x1. So how can i get that cab back? I know it's the problem of my pc,still asked.
you can use advanced config to change the sms threading settings as well as a bunch of other things too.
yup i know but my pc can't detect cab files. when i am extracting by winrar it's showing a lot of files. please please tell me how to fix this,this is abt my pc. i am attaching a gif image of my problem,please see that. this is happened when i tried to extract a cab file named SMS Mode v31,which i found from this site.
Don't extract CAB files, copy to a directory on you phone and run it!!!
yes. didn't extract,working gr8. thanks a lot.
Hey guys found another problem. Now its with the font. How can modify the fonts? The default level is so small that it puts pressure on my eyes to read a message and +1 from default level is kinda big that the number and the body of a message are all messed up.
Thanks in advance
When a reminder from for instance a calendar event, an incoming message or a missed call pops up, you can choose to dismiss it or delay it (not sure if delaying is the correct name in english, I mean postponing). When you choose delay, it pops up again after a minute or so.
WM offers the opportunity to choose for how much time you want the delay the reminder. If I recall correctly you could delay it for 1, 5, 30 and 60 minutes and 24 hours or so. Is there a way to get this choice back in TF3D? One minute is too fast for me.
Edit: for solution go directly to post 37.
I noticed this too. It's an annoying 'problem' for me. Hope to find a tweak/solution!
Hello there,
I had a little lookie in the registry found something that seems to do the trick, check out .
HK_Current_User > Controlpanel >notifications>reminders>autosnooze> AUTOSNOOZEMINS ......
Sorry for not displaying it like normal registry entries but I hope this is helpful, now I just have to find away of that annoying home screen problem.
Thanks for the Registry tip...I changed the registry and the MAX that it will snooze is 5 mins.....despite the amount you change the registry to!!!
It mentions something about the entry being a Hexidecimal??? I am not sure but I tried 15, 30, 45 and it only sleeps for 5 mins.
Any thoughts?

Thanks. I've searched around for this HKCU/Controlpanel/notifications/reminders/autosnooze/AUTOSNOOZEMINS key a little. What I found is that it decides for how long the reminder keeps bugging you, when you're not responding to it by either dismissing or delaying it. That's not really what we're looking for. Furthermore, I would like to have a choice for how long to delay it each single time, not just have a different generic delaying time.
This does the trick: HKLM/sysem/shell/notification/oem/usedefaultui=1 in stead of 0. It also changes the appearance of the reminder though.
Answer from HTC.
To my question, why I can not snooze with different intervals, I have got this answer:

I have installed Pocket Informant 8.51. Can this be the problem? How to solve it? I have not found the way how to snooze with different intervals.
Thanks!
Maybe they misinterpreted you because of the word snooze. Maybe you can snooze when you use the alarm clock to wake yourself up in the morning.
Have you read my previous post at all? It contains the solution!

The normal alarm function pops up a little requestor with an alarm clock at the top and a description of the alarm. The soft keys are snooze and dismiss. Pressing snooze or holding down snooze both have the same effect, the alarm is snoozed for 5 mins, there is no option to change the length of the snooze interval.

As I said: change HKLM/sysem/shell/notification/oem/usedefaultui=1 in stead of 0. That will give you different snooze options.
I sent an email to the Hong Kong HTC support centre. They did understand the problem was with Calendar reminders, but said that the snooze is fixed at 1 minute.
They have said they will pass on to the engineers a request for being able to choose different time periods, so I guess this could appear in a future firmware upgrade if enough other people ask for it too (hint hint!).
Meanwhile, I did the registry edit suggested by deechte and it now works in the usual (less pretty) Windows Mobile way. Thanks for this!
Ben
It seems a bit bizarre that somewhere there must have been a meeting where they decided that replacing the older version with the massively restricted new version was acceptable. Didn't anyone think at design time that the new implementation was a bit **** compared to the WM version?
Thanks deechte! The registry tweak worked like a charm on the Diamond2 - the original "Dismiss" and "Menu" were restored - when I clicked on "Menu", it gave me a big finger-friendly menu to choose the time to remind again - just like the standard WM6.1. Note: Had to restart the phone after the tweak before it takes effect.
Thanks it works
Glad I could be of help. I agree it's a pity that you get back the old-style menu. I prefer it's functionality though.

Deechte, thank you very much for this trick. I was totally dissapointed with the current situation not been able to delay more than 5 min the alarms.
hey deechte, thank for the tip!
luckless me! registery trick dosen'y work for me!
Maybe restart your device afterwards?
doesn't work for me too...
i dont know if there was any threads about this yet but, i read some people complaining about when they txt and the last thread is highlighted causing it to lag for a sec..
well to stop this just goto settings and goto input and on the 2nd tab unclick the part that says scroll to the bottom after reading last sentence or something and now it should stop highlighting the thread box in sms's
Very well done sir!
tested and confirmed!
That's weird. My seems to be still highlighting despite unchecking that option.
My HTC messaging's build is 2012.1931.
Wonder if this matters..
me too lol
i closed htc messaging using task manager and when a new message came through it did the same again, lost cause until HTC sorts it I'd imagine.....
I really must have my blonde head on today, I can't find the setting you're suggesting at all. Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction please?
Sorry for such a newbie question.
if you haven't got the default windows settings option to show on your start menu, from the today screen just swipe all the way over to the settings tab, hit menu, all settings, then personal followed by input, option mentioned is located on the second tab, doesn't seem to work from testing anyhow...
