Pocketmax Phonealarm 1.54 problem

Phonealarm 1.54 is superb, but it's casuing me a very annoying problem, and I don't know why:
I like to have my phone set to "Vibrate" at all time. By that, I mean clicking the little speaker at the top of all WM5 devices and where you get the 2 sliders for volume of device and phone, at the bottom it has "On", "Vibrate" and "Off".
However since I installed Phonealarm my phone always reverts back to "On" - but I can't seem to work out why, there's no pattern to it - sometimes it just sits there on Vibrate, then next time I use the phone it's back to On. I can't seem to work out if things like going into the Phonealarm setup menu causes it, or clicking an alert in Phonealarm, or whatever - it just seems that after a while it'll revert to "On" without me asking it to, and it's only been happening since I installed Phonealarm.
Any ideas?

phoneAlarm 1.54
Its hard to say with this programme. The developer has built so much into this excellent app for so may devices, there always seems to be one problem or another. I would post a question in the support forum (www.pocketmax.net). Bruce (the developer) is pretty responsive. He may ask you to send a log ad he will try and fix in next version. I am waiting for 1.55, due out on the next few days

I believe you need to put the option to vibrate in all profiles. For exampe in the settings screen, if you go to a particular profile then click on sms notification you need to tick the vibrate option. To get it working on the ring tone as well set the ring option in profiles to "Vibrate and Ring". Remember to do this for all alerts for all profiles!

A way to have alarm sound when on silent/vibrate?

Maybe there is a way to do this, but I'm not aware - does anyone know of a way to enable alarm even when teh phoen is on vibrate or on silent? (this came to me because I set the phone to silent and forgot to turn I was late for work today)

enAlarmPPC
When you mean an application for alarms, then you should really take a look at enAlarmPPC. You can simply force a volume, and it will play sound even if in "vibrate" or "mute".

awesome... I think that's exactly what I need. Thanks

i use vibrate mode all the time, but don't like the fact that it silences your phone. But this is what i have found:
Instead of going into vibrate mode through comm manager or through a "profile" (like from the HTC Touch Today plugin), go to settings and then select Sounds and Notifications. Select Notification tab, and from the drop down menu select Phone: Incoming call and select vibrate. When you do this, your phone vibrate when there is an incoming call but is not silenced for other functions of the phone like alarms, music, etc.
Disadvantage is that it is not 1 simple step, so if you back and forth between ring and vibrate it is not ideal, but if you set it on vibrate all the time like me, it is ideal.

You could probably Mortscript it...

yea, the thing is I always change to vibrate when I'm at work/quiet areas and I'd liek to have a simple profile change button that changes it to a vibrate + ringer.

Give PhoneAlarm a try! Then you can create profiles.

I agree, PhonaAlarm solves it all!!

Volume control interface of 219XX used in 235XX

I love 235XX rom interface so much but the volume control interface is not convenient. Everytime when I set it to "vibrate" mode, ringtone is off but the phone also muted at the same time. Finally, I use 219XX loathly.
So, I want to know can I use the Volume control interface of rom 219XX in rom 235XX. Or have any method to "prevent" the phone is muted when using the rom 235XX setting to "vibrate" mode.
Thanks!!

Maybe I miss something but is this not the reason behind the "vibrate mode"? You want a quit phone which informs you only with vibrations and not with sound.

What do you exactly mean with "vibrate mode"?

The "vibration mode" for me is, when the call is coming, my phone will vibrate with no ringtone and I can hear and talk with my friend.
Attached image is not exact but similar volume control interface of 235XX rom. Everytime I want to set my phone to "vibrate"(no ringtone, but can hear and talk with my friend after I receive the call), I click the clickbox "vibrate" on the right side. After that both the ring and phone will drop to bottom. Even I know the call is coming and I receive it, I can't hear anything.

dude try blackstonehenge hyperseries for sense 2.5 or simple blackstonehenge for sense 2.1... they both r based on 6.5.x platform... 28232 series and the chef has made a custom volume control for them... which looks and works pretty much like the 219xx series htc volume control

This looks to me like a bug of some kind...
You can set your phone to ring and vibrate at the same time (which will be done when you select the 'on' box).
It can also only vibrate (the 'vibrate' box) and it can also do neither (which is the 'off' or 'silent' function).
In al three option calling itself is still possible without any problem. So you can hear the person on the other side of the line...
Does this cover your question or did i misunderstand?

Yes, for me also and with every 235XX ROM I used it was like this.

Like by every other ROM. When you will set only the phone to vibrate you have to use a tool for this or change the phone ring to vibrate.

I never have this problem and I test many different ROMS as Blackstone, energy, dutty, mary, evo, mikenificent ... ROMS.
Maybe you install something or make a tweak which have this result?

Ok! I see.
Would you suggest any tool for this function? AEButton??

Thanks all!
I do use the AEButton to control my mobile phone for changing to "vibrate" mode instead of using the volume control directly.

MOD EDIT - Moved to general forum as not related to rom development

Hello, I don't know if I post in the right place but it's the first time I see the same volume control that I got problem with.
Hi, I have a problem with my volume control screen. I tried to install a manilla custom thing (i don't remember which). The install failed. And from this time on, I've lost the original volume control screen, and I have one like seen in this post. How can I restore the original volume control screen please ?
Thank you If someone can help.

Hard Reset or provide more info about the ROM you're using and what volume control you used before.

I want to avoid a hard reset.
I never changed the ROM.
These are the original characteristics :
Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro
version syst 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.66.483.0 (76641) FRE 01/12/10
Radio 2.06.51.07
Protocole 15.30.50.07U
How can I know which volume control is used now ?
How can I roll back to the original one ?
BTW : This problem appeared when I tried to install Max Manilla. I had not enough memory, so the install failed and since then I've got this volume control screen old fashioned.
Thanks

I see the only possibility: Hard Reset!

Hard reset done
Hello, I reinstalled the Bouygues ROM. When I restore my SPB Backup, the problem is here again. Sadly I don't have any intermediate backup between the first one (no applications installed) and the last one.
How can I save the volume files from the first backup and install my last backup ?

not necessary.
just set to normal profile then go to settings, sound and under ring, you should see "vibrate" which is not what you desired. change it back to your ringtone and you're done.

also keep in mind that if you have any sort of ringtone manager like ringo or photo contacts those might be the culprit. I have ringo and because it overrides windows defaults it sets them to silent so IT can control your rings and alerts.

[Q] Notification Issue

Hey I am new to these forums and the CM7 ROM for the shift. I put it on last night and I am having some trouble with the notification settings. On the stock sense ROM I was able to set my notifications to vibrate when I got one, mainly a text message. On the CM7 ROM for notifications I can only put it to "no noise" at all or a ringtone, like a beep. I would like to have a vibrate option but I cannot seem to find one. I appreciate all the help. Let me know if you need any more information, thanks.

try this: go into settings then sound setting, then under general tap on vibrate and set it to always..

or u can open up ur messages then hit menu and then settings the scroll down to notifications make sure notifications are checked then go to notification settings and tap vibrate and set it to always

That worked! Thank you, I didnt even think about going about it that way.

I had this problem too...
Go to Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Interface>Notification Power Widget
Now check "Notification Power Widget" and then go into widget buttons.
Pick whatever tickles your fancy, but make sure toggle sound is on. You can also change the types of sound in the bottom "Sound Modes" Category and you caan change the order if you hit "Back" then "Widget Button Order".
Now reboot your device and when it turns back on, slide down the notification bar and at the top there should be a toggle which looks like Vibrate/Sound/Silent and that's how you change the sound!

I am also having this issue. i have no vibrate on any text messaging or even gmail .
I have the newest cm7, have tried turning vibrate on where ever i could. Wiped and re flashed but have the same problem .
phone will only vibrate on call and when i change from silent to vibrate.
