I have a Droid X. If i get a phone call, I can press any hard key to silence the ringtone. The problem is this same functionality is absent from notification ringtones.
I know nothing about coding, or how the OS works, but it should be possible to use the same code that phone calls for notifications.
"if anyhardkeypress then silence notification" .. now that i feel stupid for saying that, is there anybody out there who can read the phone activity logs and figure out what line of code allows the ringtone to be silenced on a button press for phone calls, then maybe make an app to port it over to notifications.
Well, it's not a program solution, but I just use the "Droid Voice" or whatever it's called for e-mail and SMS notifications. Phone just goes "Droooid"; there is hardly time to press a hardkey
I just assign different tones to each type of notification, and my main contacts

Is there any way of changing the vibrate patterns? Particularly, so there is a different one between recieveing an SMS and a phone call.
Cheers
See: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks
Under "Phone Settings"
You'll find information there on how to change the ring/vibrate/LED behavior for incoming calls.
I don't think you can (easily) change the behavior of the vibrate option for Notifications - which is what an incoming SMS generates.
I'm trying to figure out a way to have the ringtone continuously play, but have a different vibrate pattern. I did "apv1w1v1w2r" but it has to play the whole ringtone before it vibrates. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know how to stop the ringer for my text messages to stop ringing so long? I cut it like a regular ringtone, so its like 20-30 seconds and I can open the message, slide up the screen and send a reply and it will still be going. The only way to stop it is to lower the volume while its ringing and turn it back up after its done. Is there a trick in the settings or a way in the registry??
Also, on my A630 I was surprised when I first found out that, for instance the ringer that goes off for my girlfriend when she called would also go off when she sent a text message...on this phone, which is far superior, only the default text message ringtone plays no matter who it is, is there a way to change that??
It will play the entire SMS wav file. no way of stopping. So, put a short one there.
No, as far as I know of customizing SMS alert tone to contacts.
I was wondering if there was any way of allowing voice command to still voice the notifications from the calander while the phone is on vibrate...
I dont want to have to switch a bunch of things in the phone when i walk into work to get it to work correctly... I also have htc home - schen 2.10 and would like to be able to actively switch through there for the different sound options...
is there a reg value that i can edit? or something with the htc home that i can setup to just vibrate under the last option in the menu to my custom settings to set to just vibrate and stop sounds and notifications but allow the voice command come through without issues?
Thanks,
Dan
You can use a "silent" ringtone and set the phone to ring & vibrate. There is one around called silent.wav -- you can probably find it if you search for it.
that will solve one of my problems, but what about silencing the notifications for text messages... i want everything to vibrate but the voiced reminders....
uhm maybe use the same wav file for notifications too?
notifications can play a sound and vibrate at the same time?
Check out settings>personal>sounds & notifications>notifications. The event option is a dropscreen and you can pick the different things to configure.
Cheers...
brilliant... i was looking for this before but had a blonde moment appearantly...
now, is there any way to setup the sound settings in the htc home to revert to different ringer settings with the 4th option on the page? so at work i could have it work as one setting, and outside i can select the first and i can have it revert to ring and everything as normal?
i would like to custom set the different profiles...
Problem is windows mobile doesn't have more than 3 profiles. If you want more your going to have to install a 3rd party program.
So Handcent allows you to change the vibrate notification pattern for SMS.
Is there any way to change it for incoming calls? I find the current pattern bad, as it is one small 'blip' followed by a fairly long pause before it vibrates again. I'd want it to start big to get attention faster.
Is there any application out there that allows this to be changed?
+1 on this one too...I think short multiple vibrate is effective for calls too
Missed Call allows for this.

Missed Call allows for this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just installed it, and it only seems to allow it for after the call has been missed?
I looked everywhere for this and haven't seen anything.
If I set the entire phone to vibrate mode, incoming SMS won't vibrate.
Phone calls, email, all vibrate. SMS does not.
They only way I can get incoming SMS to vibrate is by setting SMS to "Also vibrate when notified"
The problem with this: Then SMS vibrates all the time, where phone is in vibrate or has sound on.
How do I set the SMS to only vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate?
I haven't found a way to do what you are requesting as of yet. Google took this away with the JB update I believe. However CM has an option in setting called profiles that will do this for you when properly set up. If you find something let us know I'd be interested.

There has to be some way around this, without the need to use a 3rd party sms app. I like the stock messaging app, but don't care for no vibration or vibrate all the time.
I also have an issue where the screen doesn't actually come on when sms is received, but I see a number of people on Sprint have that problem.
If I can find anything, I will post back. Hope to check some more tonight when I get off work.
