Phone alarm and SMS problems

Installed PhoneAlarm 1.22, used it, nice not useful for me, therefor i uninstalled it,
but since i did that whenever i send SMS messege and litte windows that used to come every time that says "MESSENGE SENT" has stopped from comming!!
How can i bring this windows back? (NOT SMS DELIVERY) but SMS SENT.
so i will know the SMS is now on the sent items folder.
Thanks.

Without sounding rude i would suggest the best place for this post is the forums over at www.pocketmax.net

you didnt understand, i uninstalled the Phonealarm.
now the SMS Send window disappeard.
i want it back.

I do understand....they are the application developer and you will get better help directly from them in their forums.......it might need a regedit to get it back.

Exactly the same for me after installing and removing on my Qtek 9090 - as well as messing up the order of Today Items, which I can't now change back (or rather can change but changes aren't effective!)

It seems that this setting writes to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings the string value "SMSNoSentMsg" and sets it to 0 or 1 according to the checkbox.
As long as I understand, the value is not relevant - the sms sent notification is disabled by the presence of the string, not by its value.
phoneAlarm should delete the string when the box is checked, and add it when the box is unchecked.
Until it will be fixed, to get the sent notification back, delete the "SMSNoSentMsg" from the registry.
Cheers for temporarily!!

Nice one.
Now can you sort why my Today Items won't display in the right order ?
Thanks a lot.
Rick

What do you mean by right orders? and what should be the right order?

I arrange my Today Screen Items thus ;
Date, Messages, Tasks, Calendar, Spb Pocket Plus, Sprite Back-Up and Battery Bar. Since installing and deleting Phone Alarm, I can't get this order on the Today Screen. START/SETTINGS/TODAY/ITEMS and then move items up/down but Calendar (for example) moves up when I'm setting the positions, but doesn't ACTUALLY go to the position on the Today Screen. When I go back to the up/down screen it shows dropped back down. ??????

THANKS it workS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

double_ofour.
Found this fix from "tekguru" on their forum.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Today/Items
and check that the 'Order' value against each today applet is unique. The problem is caused by at least two applets sharing the same ID . Simply changed the values so that no 2 were the same and all is OK.
Still no idea why Phone Alarm changed them though !

Touch HD keeps redialing in a loop

Hi guys,
I am facing very annoying problem. Every time I dial somebody's number and cancel the call by tapping on red button, after short while the phone redials the number again. I cancel it again and after a while phone redials the number again. This is repeating until a) I reset the phone or b) the person I am calling to answers the phone call.
I do remember I saw some settings related to redialing when playing with phone, but I went thru all config dialogs and cannot find anything. Maybe a change somewhere in registry could help?
Also I did not find anywhere how to disable the notification after you receive a new text message or got a missed phone call. Woman voice is keeping saying: "you got a new message" or "you got a missed call". This is anoying as well especially when you sleep and you receive a new msg and even your ring tone is set to something very polite to keep you sleeping, that woman's voice is trying to wake you up telling you - hey "you got a new msg", wake up!
My ROM ver is 1.14.401.3 WWE, I did some changes with Advanced Config and I am using tools like AEButton, SecondToday and some other tweaks, but I don't think this has something to do with the above described issues.
Thanks for your advices!

I have just found out that it is caused by REDIAL.EXE application which is stored in \Windows directory so I am not able to rename it or delete it. Is there any way how to get rid of this file? Thanks!

I have finally found out what caused the issue. It was application HTCExtFun and I forgot that there are such settings. I use it for switching different keyboard layouts when stylus is in or out.
So to disable automatic redial, I needed to edit [HKCU\Software\HTCExtFun] registry and sent RedialTime to zero.
Also in the same registry you can disable that sound notifications for incomming text message or missed call.

You can rename any WM aplication to "REDIAL.EXE" and then copy this renamed redial.exe to \windows, it will take the place of the rom redial.exe.

Thx for this thread. Now my HD doesn't redial anymore.

well, this might bea bit out of the subject but.. isn't there any registry fix that prolongs the default vibration time of the HTC Touch HD when the call is connected?
i feel it is very short and often passes unnoticed.
I understand that the "Redial" application does so but i'm very obssessive about battery life and background programs so i much prefer to have a registry fix if possible.
any help?

Bluetooth not receiving files, wont receive anything!

I can send files but not receive with bluetooth. I am paired up with my mates phone, he can see me, ive ticked the receive incoming files box, ive tried with and without the 'authentication passkey required' box ticked. I installed something 'obex inbox' but that did squat all. any ideas??

I had the same issue pal, in the "obex inbox settings" make sure that the default download directory points to an ACTUALLY EXISTING directory. If it doesn't then type in an existing path (i.e. "\Storage Card\[a folder of your choosing that actually exists]). Browsing did not work for me, i had to manually insert the path. I guess it is probably a localisation's issue, but after this little trick everything came back to normal and i could send/receive files without any problems. Hope this works for you

Hi mate! This also happened to me after installing an application that i think is not compatible with xperia and i just hard reset my phone to fix it.
Can you explain in details what you did to correct the problem? I would really appreciate it and thanks in advance.

<error in post, removed>

Where can i find the "obex inbox settings"?

Yes i have the same problem. I am not sure if i had installed a programm that isn't compatible with xperia. I hav installed some games and some progs. Can i solve the problem by unistalling the progs or have i also to do a hard reset??
PS: Sorry for my bad englisch.

it won't do you any good as that is what i have done also. let just wait for MacCarron to further explain what he did or if you can't wait just hard reset your phone but be sure to backup of your contacts first.

When im in Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox, I cannot find 'Settings'. The two soft keys at the bottom just display whatever program is running 'benneath' it. When i press on the three dots '...' next to the 'File store path' text box nothing happens. In this text box there is already the path '\Storage Card\FTP' and I have manually created a folder 'FTP' in my storage cards root directory. Did you guys have this same problem?
I still cannot receive bluetooth files!

Why can´t I find this menu "Setting>Connections>Obex Inbox" ??

You need to download it and install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=140860&d=1230506044

It sounded really odd to us when we tried the Bluetooth, but the magic word is Beam, you need to go to Setting -> Connection ->Beam -> and tick the box "Receive all incoming beams.
No installs or downloads anything else needed for me. I think it's the same for the HTC handset, maybe for all Windows Mobile phones, correct me if I am wrong, would be interesting to find out.

I have ticked the box, but nothing happens. I still can't receive anything.
I also have tried Obex Inbox. I changed the settings, but that doens't help.
Is here somebody that has another idea instead of a hard reset? Probably unistalling all programms that aren't compatibele with Xperia.
Does anyone know how i can find out which programm is compatible and which isn't??
Please help.

as i've told you before uninstalling apps will not make any difference mate because i've tried it before until i came to the point that all that was left was the original apps in my xperia. anyway maybe others can share their experience too including a solution. as for now after the hard reset i am more careful with the apps i'm installing as reading every comments of all users and being sure that it is really compatible with wm 6.1 and xperia

Have you tried "revisiting the box"? It has a habit of unticking itself, it si on mine anyway.

I have been using the OBEX Inbox cab...
I love it!! No problems with on my X1i generic UK ROM!
On the OBEX file transfer problem here is a little insight from a problem I had!!
I installed PocketMax Phone Alarm. And I started to have the exact same Problem!! But I still could active sync too!!
What I found out, it was messing with the the OBEX Service Mask Setting!!
So to allow OBEX File transfers to work correctly.
You must make sure these setting are correct in the registry!!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\
:IsEnabled- 0x1(1)
:ObexServiceMask- 0x3(3)
hth,

Possible Solution! (If your using Phonealarm)
I've had the same problem with not being able to receive bluetooth files on my xperia.
Turns out its PhoneAlarm thats blocking them.
Under Profiles, make sure the setting "Activate IR" is on.

yes, there's no need to install anything just to receive and/or send files over bluetooth.
when you attempt to receive, do you see any pop up message prompting if you want to receive (if you have previously click yes, then it'll be default for subsequent receiving from the same device)
if your device is receiving but you ended up seeing no files in your folder, it could be that your device is running out of storage.

Repeat notification sound- HTC Pure

How to enable "play sound/repeat" in Sound & Notifications audio settings?
If I missed a notification (email or reminder) I'd like to hear a beep or other sound at selected intervals.

SMS Notification repeat
Since we are noobs and not real, I thought I might share my searching results. First the search only returns results with "sms repeat", and not much with the Topaz. I had the same problem with my old Kaiser, and there was a great little program on Modaco (http://www.modaco.com/downloads-file2400.html) that I think was more about led notification but worked for my need to get repeat SMS notification. (I am a network engineer that is on call a lot)
I did a bunch of registry hacks on the Kaiser but nothing that worked very well and ended up using Phils program above, but not on my Topaz yet. It is still stock ATT rom.
I did find references to 3 other programs:
MissedCallReminder
PhoneAlarm
spb phone suite
The Phone Alarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) has a couple of varients, and looks like it might be easy to install, and has a small footprint piece called AlarmPal that has a feature of turning on and off bluetooth that might be helpful if battery life is an issue.
Phone Alarm supposedly works on 6.5. AlarmPal looks like just 6.1 and below, but there are posts about Diamond with a WM 6.5 ROM.(less than $12.00US)
Missed Call Reminder is from here (xda-developers) and looks like one of the moderators might be using it but the post is from Nov, 2008. He has updated it and the files in the cab are from April of 2009. It uses 236K of memory. Not sure if that is alot or little.
I do not have time today to try these out, but should have a little time later in the week.

I too would like this feature enabled. There has got to be reg tweak that will enable the "repeat" box to be checked under sounds & notifications. I will search around as well.

I found this in another forum so I will post it here too. It is over a year old post so I'm not sure if it works yet but I will try it out and post my findings if you all want to wait for confirmation if it works or not on WM6.5. Thanks to Jackalz for this find (http://forums.techarena.in/tips-tweaks/992968.htm).
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
There is a lot of registry sub-key inside the Notifications folder. Search through one by one to find and locate a registry entry that has its Default (REG_SZ) value as the name of the event. For example, Messaging: New e-mail message, Messaging: New text message, Messaging: New MMS message, Phone: Missed call and etc.
Once found the correct registry sub-key that represents the event that you want to enable the “Repeat” option, edit the value data for Options value name. Change the value to 1073741835 (in Decimal base) or 4000000B (in Hexadecimal HEX base format). Save and exit from registry editor.
Now the Repeat check box is enabled, and user should be able to set repetitive and recurring event notifications.
EDIT: I have just verified that these registry settings worked. I was able to enable the repeat option for New emails, new text and new mms message. CHEERS!

Edited post: I did the above registry tweak and as in the kaiser, It would not stop repeating after reading the sms. I deselected the repeat option and set the registry key back to 0000000b. back happy again..
Old post:
I will try that one.. On the old Kaiser, it would repeat, but unable to turn it off. It kept repeating, no matter what I did to turn it off.. Thanks,
Jack

SMS repeat notification
AlarmPal worked... and even quit "reminding" me after I turned it off..

SMS repeat notification program testing results
Missed Call Reminder: looks like low footprint but repeated Voicemail notification even when I did not have voice or voicemail notification on. Only way to turn off the voicemail notification was to actually listen to the voicemail, just acknowledging it would not turn off the alert. Also after opening it up once, have to reboot the phone to get back into the configuration. Not a problem if I was able to turn off the voicemail alerts.
Alarm Pal worked as advertised but memory usage climbed from 72% to 82% in 14hrs. Will reinstall and continue monitoring.

ah, maybe that's why they disabled it in the first place. haven't experienced that issue with email's or text messages on mine.

Repeat Notification SMS
Have been using Alarm Pal for a few weeks, and it works quite well. I still have the memory usage pump up to above 80% pretty quickly (8-16hrs) but I am a real heavy user of both email, text, alarms and phone. Any others using something different with a smaller memory footprint?

I used MSentinel, you could try that! (after installing you should check the settings - mine checked the status every 1s and drained the battery very fast)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529227
On my Typhoon I used an modified version of MortScript-based reminder - it does not stay in memory, uses wm-s notifications system and executes itself after given time (made also a full hour bell from it ). Its even possible to create a custom scheduled task with it - for example run pim backup every saturday night.. The original script came with a rom from xda-dev. - dont remember the name of it

SMS Status!!!

Dears,
How can i know my sent SMS status on my HTC Diamond 2 mobile??
(Sent - Received,...)
is there anyway to know that?

When writing the SMS, go to options- there is the option for a delivery report.

Sorry to hijack this post.
But I have just updated my phone with the official windows mobile 6.5 from the HTC website. For some reason I now can not set the LED to stay on until I have read the message like I used to be able to. The tick box is greyed out. Does anyone know a way around this?

SQueal. there is a regedit to fix this. get a regeditor,if you dont already have one and navigate to HKCU\Controlpanel\Notifications and find entry A877D65B…
change AvailableOptions value to 15.

hello. I have tcm and as I understand, i can edit the registry. Where do i find it? Thanks for your time

Thanks codhunter, is there a registry editor on the phone, or can I access it through a PC one when its hooked up via active sync?
While I am in there, is it also possible to change the text message alert to something I want, I notice that they have removed this on the updates as well which is quite irritating.
