Well I took the phone out of the house for the first time today. And all I can say it, how annoying it was being.
Is there anyway to stop the phone going of everytime is switching services (3G, HSDPA, GPRS etc) Everytime that stopped, swapped or got activated my phone went off. I was constantly checkingn it thinking I had mail or sms's, it was driving me mad
How can I get my phone to vibrate while on loud? Even though its on loud, its quite hard to hear when your out. But then if I put it on vibrate and I go inside, sometimes I dont feel it go off while walking or sitting down.
Any solutions?
Oh, and how do I set .mp3's as ringtones/alarm tones/sms tones etc. Can I only use the ones in the list?
The "Search" button is your best friend in here...why don't you give it a try first
Yeh I just get loads of random results for other phones.
I tried a few things but they didnt work
Edit: repeat post
I know this isn't much help but on my stock rom I managed to turn these off, it wasn't anything special it was in a menu somewhere, where I could stop it notifying me, so it is possible. Im afraid im no longer using that rom so I cannot check, the one im on at the moment has them off as default it seems.
Took me about 5 minutes to find the menus on my X1 (first WM phone I've owned) for all the problems you have listed. I suggest you either do a search or play around in the Settings.
Maybe the original poster is having difficulty 'cos they are looking for options not settings...
first thing I do when I get a new machine is RTFM no matter what it is (usually while I'm waiting charge, but not needed with the LiPo here) then start experimenting with menus. It's not hard...
There's an online help system here. http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/GettingStarted.php?ModelID=344&e=0 I suggest you read it
What do you mean by "turning the phone off" what's happening ?
is the screen just going blank, (it does this or new users would be screaming about the poor battery life)
Is the entire unit shutting itself down?
Is the phone part (this is not a phone it's a pocket pc, the phone is only a part of it) turning itself off?
Maybe that's the problem, this is a very advanced device, people seem to be ignoring this..

Select Start => Settings => Select "Connections" tab => Select "Advanced Network" => From the drop down menu select "Disable".
I don't know if this solution would work for you because I haven't encountered the same problem that you have.

Follow these steps:
Select Start => Settings => Select the "Sounds & Notifications icon => Select the "Notifications" tab => In the "Ring type" field, select "Vibrate and ring".

Ringtones: Just select the file you want as your ringtone and hold down until the menu comes down and from the bottom of the menu, just select "Set As Ringtone".
Alarm tones & SMS tones: Files must be in .wav format and save them into your Windows folder. Once that is done, your tones should be available from the drop down list of tones.
Hey Guys, thanks for the solutions.
However none of tem were what I was after. I dont explain myself very well.
When I say, the phone goes off when switching between 3G, HSDPA etc i mean it either vibrates of beeps depending on which mode its on.
As for the vibrating while on loud. I have it on vibrate and ring which it does, but when I recieve an SMS it just beeps when on Loud. I would like it to vibrate too like it did on my old SE

For your SMS Notification settings; "Messaging: New text message" is there a check mark in the "Vibrate" field?

I'm looking for an option to let the phone vibrate in small intervals and not one long everlasting vibration.
In the sound/notifications tab you can only select "vibration" and not the style of the vibration.
Am I missing something or does someone know an addon?

Search for VAlert, it allows incoming calls to "pulse" (and you can define the pattern).

Thanks! Small and effective programm.
this forum is heaven..without it i would have sold off my Xperia in first week.
i sold my iphone 3g due to lack of customizability..and it doesnt let u do so much stuff.
Guys, here is my question... My Titan blinks the yellow flashing light when there is a missed call, but has no sound. I went in to sounds and added a sound, which is makes when the missed call comes up on the display. However, it never beeps again. I have time when I am in loud areas or don't have my phone on me, and won't notice a missed call until a few hours later. Is there a way to make a beep sound of some kind for a missed call every few minutes? I am using Reloaded 4 ROM. Thanks!
Anyone? Help!

Tried that, as posted above, but the repeat check box is grayed out and I cannot put a check in it, no matter what sound I pick. As for the manual, its kinda pointless with a homemade ROM installed.
Well my dcd rom has that option so I guess yours is messed up or you have programs or settings not allowing you to change it.
Go to settings/sounds and notifications
make sure the events (warnings, system sounds) is checked otherwise the repeat as you found out will be grayed out. I tried this and it does gray out when unchecked...
There must be an issue with the Reloaded ROM that I have. I can check and uncheck the events check box, and go into where you set the missed calls sound, but the repeat check box is still grayed out. I guess I may have to see if I can find a tweak to fix it.
Found the registry change to fix this... http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/546050-post18.html
Thanks guys.
Delete..........
The reg hack works.... But after I "dismiss" the notification it still keeps notifying me.

I tryed to use the search function, and I could not find anything about this.
What I am asking for is a program where you can control your vibrator on an inc sms fx. If you have your Blackstone on lets say a table made of wood, then the vibrator is going mental on an inc sms imo.
So does anyone know if it is possible to control the vibrator? I know you can turn it off on inc sms, but I kinda want it.
/thx
i am not sure this is what u want, but you can turn off the vibrate on incoming msg, if that's bugging you. go to settings/sounds & notifications/ notifications tab. and from the drop down menu choose messaging: new text message, and untick the box for vibrate.

Yeah I know you can turn it off, but I don't want it turned off. I want the vibrator to be less "wild" when you get a text. Hope that makes sense.
alright, i got what u mean. and yes i remember coming across something like this, where you could tweak the vibration length. but i honestly cant remember where i saw it. let me try to search and will definetly get back to you if i find it. i think touchresponse has that option try it

Cool man. Will check it out
I tryed the Touchresponse program. But it does not give an option to change the vibration on an incomming text. It only gives settings to change the vibration when you use your fingers on the device.
yes your right, i'm sorry, but on the developers things to do list, he mentions future vibration tweaks, maybe you can ask him about that.
i found valert, but that only tweaks vibration for incoming call
Okay, thx for the help anyways, really appreciate it
Hi
I am also interested in a program or a tweak which makes Touch HD vibrate less--- like nokia- vibrate,stop,vibrate,stop!!!

Even though I dont own an HD2 (yet).. try going in settings tab then down the bottom choose "menu/all settings", then choose personal, then phone and sellect keypad "off".. take care
Thank you, that worked (can't believe I missed it).
no worries... Its easy to get lost some times in wm, even more so when this is masked by htc sense ui
Great, thanks for the tip! I thought I had been through all sub-menus but I somehow missed the "Personal" one

We almost need a thread called ,

I know there are some things that I just missed that were staring me right in the face ...
Anyone know how to disable this through the registry? I'm trying to sort this out when XDA_UC runs.
I flash A LOT and it's a pain to do this every single time.
EDIT: Got it

After having a Fuze for a year I just got a Pure with WM6.5. On the Fuze, the screen would light up whenever there was an incoming call or text message. So far, the Pure doesn't do that. Is there a setting somewhere that I can't find?

Start - Settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications - choose Event - Check display message on screen.
And after that you can read the manual of your device, so you don't have to open new threads like this one...
That's just it, Mr. Senior Member. I don't have that check box in my Sounds & Notifications.

It has to be there 26 times. 1 time for each event Mr. Junior Wiseguy...
At the "incoming call" event, there is no checkbox "display message on screen"... Just pull downs for sound and type (sound, sound+vibration, vibration only, e.g.)

Exactly right, Capu. I can't find a "display message on screen" sort of choice anywhere. I feel like I'm missing the elephant in the living room. 26 elephants.

For incoming calls the screen has to light up by default. You can't disable it. Are you sure you don't have installed third-party software with a screenlock? For the other events, you have to find one of the 26 elephants...
