Hi guys,
I am having some troubles getting notification messages from my calendar when i set it to remind me(the messages you get with "dismiss" and "snooze"). I made a task and set it to remind me and that works, but with the calendar it wont work.
Has anyone experienced this problem? And how might we solve it? thanks alot
did you set it to all day? if i remember correctly all day events dont show (though i may be miss remembering, and my phone isnt with me to test..)

Nope, its set between a specific time period not an all day event.
I happen to have 2 hd2's(the other one is my son's), and the calendar notfications work on his. so right now i am tring to find something related to calendar/reminder in the registry to see if any values might be different.
Any ideas on where the calendar stuff is in the registry?
have you checked settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab
event - reminders, make sure 'display message on screen' is checked?

Yep i have already seen all those setting and changed them like you say but no dice.
Not having much luck with the registry settings either...I thought i had it when i found a difference between my hd2 and my sons in the registry HKCU : ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD} where the "duration" key in mine was a value of 5 and my sons 0. So i changed mine to 0 as well but no luck so far

I somehow missed the "Dismiss" command on a couple of wake-up alarms last week and now I keep getting the alarm notification sounds and can't find any way to stop them.
I get the alarms every time that I re-start the phone (which I have to do after ending an ActiveSync session).
I have not installed the latest firmware yet, because I don't have the time to back-up all of my settings & shortcuts, so I just want to stop the notification sounds without major disruption.
I've tried all the combinations of alarm and notification settings that I can find and it makes no difference.
I presume that non-dismissed alarms are stored somewhere and keep firing-up whenever the phone is re-started, but how can I stop them?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS, I don't have any registry editing software.
Use the attached software (install via activesync) to clear duplicated notifications. In options/settings both boxes need to be checked. If i still wont go after this I found sktools sorts out stubborn duplicate notifications http://s-k-tools.com/

Thanks Mark
When you say to install via ActiveSync, do you mean to have an ActiveSync connection with the phone and then run the executable on the PC?

Yes thats right
Check Notification
I've installed the program and get a long list of events.
In the Application column, a number are NULL, but most entries are sddaemon.exe, plus some calupd.exe, CALNOT.EXE, CALENDAR.EXE, clocknot.exe, repllog.exe.
I have 144 events.
When I click the Clear button, it processes the events and then the program gets stuck on Event 145 of 144.
I seem to be able to clear the events one at a time, which is extremely laborious.

You should only clear duplicate notifications - some of those notifications listed are important to the normal running of the phone. Make sure both checkboxes are ticked under options. If there is a stubborn duplicate notification that won't shift use sktools that should do it.

Oops !
I cleared all notifications before I saw your message.
What can I expect to go wrong with the phone and can I fix it?
Thanks
delete the NULL notifications by hand, tap on them and choose delete. after that, just press clear and all other duplicates will be removed automatically.

If the phone is still working then fine - soft reset hopefully the important notifications will return - all those marked calendar are for reminders of appts/events so you will need to set the reminders again. The actual events should still be there.

Thanks - everything seems OK so far (fingers crossed).
I didnt like the way the emails and messages opened in the home tab, ie it goes straight to the latest message so I added the mail and messages programs from the start menu to my quick links which corrects these problems. However, there is no notifications on the quick links to notify me if I've got a message or not. Is there a way you can get notifications to come up like it does on the home tabs?

You can set notifications to show on screen messages for these events, yeah.
Go to Settings, All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab) and when you go to message or new email message, you can set it to "Display message on screen".
Hope this helps

Unfortunately not because if I go into settings I don't have an option for 'All settings'. The only option I can find for notifications is under display and sounds, and I can only change the sounds and vibrate for notifications. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry - it's the settings tab, then Menu, then All settings.
It's frustrating because All Settings is what the settings icon in the start menu used to do, and some people have modified the registry so that it's back that way (me included), so when you want someone to go to settings, you have to actually tell them to go to the settings tab, then menu, then all settings, when you just want the bloody windows settings screen!! lol

Thanks, I never even knew that all settings was even there.I'll see if that works, cheers
The notification wasn't exactly what I was after, with the fix suggested above a pop up comes up saying new sms which is not exactly what I was after. What I wanted was something like on the messages on the tabs where you get a green circle superimposed with a number of how many messages you have. Can that be done?
Ah - I see what you're saying now. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Have you looked at MaxManila at all? That does exactly what you're asking.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there is a way to prevent the phone from vibrating once it receives mail .. A tone is enough :S
start - settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab, in the events dropdown select 'messaging: new email' and untick vibrate.
OMG how did I miss THAT !!!!
Thanks for telling me ...
Heh, often the easy ones are the hardest to find, especially once it starts to frustrate.

Hi all,
I use to have a bunch of Outlook tasks with notifications to remind me of various things to do.
With my previous phone (HTC P3300), the notifications stayed there (until dismissed) whatever I did: reset the phone, move from an application to another, whatever. In the Today screen I always had the left soft key displaying "Reminder" indicating that I had some notifications active.
In my new HD2 this is not hte case any more. I am glad I am not wasting my left soft key just for the reminders, but the problem is that my notifications keep disappearing: if I reset the phone, they are gone. I got the habit of snoozing them before resetting, but this morning my 4 notifications were gone, even with no reset!
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround? Anyone knows what is purging the notifications?
Ciao,
Giovanni
I want to know this as well.
Also is there a app or a way to change the snooze time? For example, to remind me again in 1 hour, but more important notifications, in 10 min...
Hey, i had (have) the same problem. First of all please report this to HTC cos this is a BIG error. What i did is unable htc notification manager, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631449. That worked for me, also brings back the snooze option. Only problem now that the active reminders dont synx with my exchange or home outlook, but thats something i can live with. Good luck !!
i use the following three reg settings to tweak my notifications.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\Reminder
change EnableAutoDismiss from 1 to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shell\Notification\OEM
CustomUIDLL is probably set to NotificationLayout.dll
change it to anything else, (example NotificationLayout2.dll) basically a name that doesnt exist.
UseDefaultUI set to 0
Also, go to settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifcations tab - in the dropdown choose 'reminders' and make sure 'show on screen' is checked.
hope these help.
Hello,
Q1) There are only 3 alarms available in Windows Mobile 6.5. Does anyone knows how to add more?
Q2) Also, I remember when i was using HTC Touch, when new SMS comes in, it appears on the screen and i was able to either 'hide' or 'open' the SMS. On HD2, when I set it to show new SMS, I can only hide it but I can't open it to read. Instead, I have to go through 'HTC Messages'. Does anyone knows how to have both options 'hide' (on the left) and 'open' (on the right) available when new SMS shows up?
Please see attached screenshots if I did not manage to explain well.
Appreciate all kind advice.
Many thanks in advance!
I've tries to add more entries in the registry to add more alarms, but apparently it doesn't work.
and I've no clue for the sms issue either.
does anyone have the same issues as me? any clues?
thanks.

i guess
indeed, I've read about all e good comments about it. in fact, I installed it 2 months ago, but I encountered problems like battery drains n missed alarms. I've since uninstalled. maybe this problem is not too common with other users, but it was a problem for me..
thanks for your suggestion though.
pTravel alarm?
Works well for me and no battery drain... also if you are on the lock screen you can tap the open widget then swipe the sms widget and it opens sms screen or if you tap on the task bar it will give you the list of things to look at and one of them is the messages screen...
For the SMS, why not just turn off on-screen notification. When you get an SMS you'll get the usual audio/vibrate alert, and an icon in the taskbar. You can then just click on the SMS tab icon at the bottom and you're looking at the SMS. 1 click and you're there.
For the alarm question... there's a registry setting for this, but I don't know what it is. If you use BsB Tweaks you can enable "Windows Notifications" mode which "Enables dismiss X time in notification". This is a crap description and I used to just ignore this option as it sounded completely uninteresting. Then I found out what it is.
With this enabled, you get the option to select a sleep time for an alarm when it's going off (see the attachment). I doubt my boss would be impressed if I chose the last option though
It will at least free up your second alarm as you could just snooze the first one for 10 minutes.
I am also interested in the being able to open an sms from the notification dialog...
On Q1: I've been using SPB Time since quite long time. The new edition 2.1.2 is really awesome. And it answers to your question
On Q2: When I receive sms I have sound + icon above on the taskbar. So if I click on the icon - "notification" window opens and after another click on new sms icon you see your sms. Just you pay one click more.

It would be nice if on the notification "balloon" you had a Reply button that would automatically open the thread where that sms is in...

indeed, i remember this option to open sms on notification used to be available in older wm versions. and we could also dismiss instead of hide the sms.
