Change repeat setting of Alarm/Reminder

The clock of WM stop ring after 1 or 2 ring... can I set it continue to ring until I stop it please?

Up,
Is there a hack in the registry to change the repeate of the reminder/alarm please? The alarm default of WM is too poor, it ring 1 or 2 times and stop (the distance between 2 ring is also very long), it's impossible to wake up with that.
I don't understand why, to this version WM6, crosoft do not fix this problem and let WM user look for always an alternative software solution

Ya I don't know why WM has such a crappy alarm interface.
I'm finiding the ringer to lack mp3 support and also repeating the alarm.
I know about 3rd party programs SPBtime/Chronos, but I'm afraid its going to kill battery for something that WM should already have been doing.

How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
How to Enable Repeat Play Audio Sound Notifications in Windows Mobile
=====================================================
In Windows Mobile Pocket PC smartphone device, user can configure and set sounds and notifications alert for various events and activities that happening on the device. The notification alerts can be playing a custom selected sound, ring tone or tune, display message on screen, flash keypad light, or vibrate.
And user can customize their favorite alert music audio and notification method for events such as incoming new e-mail messages, MMS messages, SMS text messages, missed call and voice mail the phone received. However, the notification alert for each event happens just once for one time. Supposedly, it’s possible to set the notification such as beeping and playing audio sound recurringly and repetitively until user acknowledge the e-mail, MMS, SMS or other events.
There is an option of “Repeat” for “Playing sound” in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel of Windows Mobile. However, the “Repeat” check box is always grayed out and disabled for most events, except few events such as Reminder. So user cannot select “Repeat” option in order to make notification alert recurring and repeat.
There is registry hack that able to enable the “Repeat” check box in “Sounds & Notifications” control panel. To perform the change on Windows Mobile registry, a registry editor such as PHM Registry Editor, Mobile Registry Editor or CeRegEditor is required.
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.
The alerts appear to completely stop at 10 minutes.
For example a text message comes in, you get an alert
You get an alert every 30 seconds for 3 minutes
You get one alert at 5 minutes
You get one final alert at 10 minutes

Tweak and Configure How Notifications Work in Windows Mobile Notifications
Tweak and Configure How Notifications Work in Windows Mobile Notifications
=========================================================
Windows Mobile powered device (including WM5, WM6 and WM6.1) has a registry key that allows user to tweak, control, configure and customize how notifications work in the mobile Pocket PC (PPC) device. For example, whether a notification should shows or hides the icon in taskbar, play notification sound, pop up notification bubble for user to dismiss or vibrate.
One notification that can be configured via the said registry key is SMS sent notification, other than the SMSNoSentMsg registry key. Then Options registry entry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default registry branch, when changed to reflect user own preference, may affect other notification in Windows Mobile device too, especially those unable to configure via Sounds and Notifications control panel GUI.
To perform the registry hack to configure different settings for notifications in Windows Mobile, run any registry editor on Windows Mobile device (such as PHM Registry Editor) or remotely access mobile device registry with CeRegEditor from desktop PC, and then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Default\Options
Then, change the DWORD value to any of the following value, which also shows its corresponding results on notification respond, depending on user’s preference:
• 0 - Show icon
• 1 - Show icon and play notification sound
• 2 - Show icon and vibration
• 3 - Show icon and vibration and play notification sound
• 4 - Same as 0
• 5 - Same as 1
• 6 - Same as 3
• 7 - Same as 3
• 8 - Show icon and notification bubble
• 9 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
• 10 - Show icon and notification bubble and vibration
• 11 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration
• 13 - Same as 1
The change takes effect effectively.

Phone on silent??

I currently have the following mods:
-HTC Home
-Battery Status
-Total Commander
-Some Registry Edits
-Deleted all the T-Mob Add-Ons
-Palm Threaded SMS
How do I put the phone on COMPLETE silence. As in it doesn't vibrate at all. In the HTC Home Phone profile thing, I chose Silence All but it still vibrates when I get a text message when I am in the Palm Threaded SMS program. Anyone know how to fix this? I even went to the system Notification and turned off vibrate for the palm text message and the New Text message feature.

I had problems using SPB phone suite ... where whenever I used the "profiles" on the SPB software, it would screw up my settings. It seems that it would change the settings with API calls or something, and sometimes the phone would screw up or lag or something, so it wouldn't completely change all the settings? It would turn off sound, but not turn on vibrate... I don't know... it just wasn't working.
I just completely turned off the profiles aspect of it and I just change it the old school way (with the volume slider on the side)

WM 6.5 Lock Screen email tab

Hello, just wondering if there was a easy way to map the email tab on the new WM 6.5 lock screen so it does not bring up the Outlook email, instead it would open the new email directly? Thanks

Bottom of post 3 of my 6.5.x thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
This will allow you to redirect the application launched, however you will still need a program or option that will load up the email directly

Ok so I changed it to \windows\tmail.exe
So we will see what happens shortly, thanks for the help.

Worked like a charm thanks, your the man!

Hi I have a problem with the lockscreen and its SMS/TEXT Notification. If my mobile is locked and it's receiving a message or a call, the number of missed items will be displayed on the slider. But if the mobile goes to suspend mode it will loose the number of SMS on the slider after waking up again.
Do you know why and how to fix that?

I was just going to ask if there was away to extend the slider notification time, (if thats what it is). I do find if you don't unlock soon after a new email / txt or whatever is downloaded the sliders notification disappears.

any of the numerous more knowledgable people in this forum know what registry setting would set the lockscreen slider to open manila sms when i get a text?

SMS & E-mail notification issues

Hi all,
I can't seem to change the settings for the notification of SMS and e-mail messages. Both seem to make the device come out of standby, play the notification sound, and show the blinking green light. It's annoying, and I can't seem to be able to change it (even with the TD2 tools).
Any one with the same issues?
Thanks

Have you turned off notifications for SMS in Sound Settings? Also, there's a cab floating around called SMS tools or something that may have this tweak.
or
Use a regsitry editor and go to the key:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Set DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 1
If the entry does not exist, you will have to create it.

How-To : disable/remove HTC customizations

Hi everyone
Well, I decided to create this thread because I really don't like HTC customizations and wanted to regroup all the way to disable or remove them.
So, if you're like me, or if you just want a true "Microsoft Windows Phone" then...
Let's go !
- Disable HTC Notification Manager :
HKLM\Services\NotificationManager\Flags = 4
- Disable HTC Notifications Enhancer :
HKLM\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\UseDefaultUI = 1
or
Remove HKLM\System\Shell\Notification\OEM
- Disable HTC Menu :
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\CUIHandler = 0
- Disable HTC Date Picker :
Remove the key : HKLM\System\GWE\Commctrl\CustomDateTimeCtrl
- Disable HTC Task Icons (battery, signal level...) & Pin Dialer :
Remove the key : HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps
- Disable HTC Volume :
HKLM\Services\HTCVOLUME\Flags = 4
- Disable HTC CommManager (from Notification bar) :
HKLM\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr\Redirect = ":MSWRLSMGR"
- Enable MS SmartDial :
Remove HKLM\Security\Phone\SmartDial\UI
- Disable HTC Dialer :
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0
TRICK : when you disable HTC Dialer, you lose the auto screen off function using the proximity sensor. But if you want to have the WM Dialer + auto screen off, you can edit this registry key :
HKML\System\State\Phone\PSensorStatus = 1
WARNING : this registry key goes to default (0) after a soft reset. I've made a little mortscript ("Psensor.mscr") that put the PSensorStatus value to "1" when a call is made for the first time after a soft reset. Install Mortscript first, then put Psensor.mscr in your "\Windows\Startup" folder.
- Disable HTC Messaging App :
Use "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.cab"
- Disable HTC Contact Chooser :
Remove keys "HKLM\Security\Contacts\Chooser" & "HKLM\Security\Contacts\PropertyPicker"
- Disable HTC Font in Start Menu :
Remove key "HKLM\Security\Shell\StartMenu"
- Remove HTC Battery & Backlight :
Copy the content of "HTCBB.zip" in your Windows directory and overwrite the files.
- Remove HTC Device Info :
Copy the content of "HTCDI.zip" in your Windows directory and overwrite the files.
- Get MS Keyboard (or others MS SIP) back (thanks to mnet - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604023) :
HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\SIPMenuEnableMSSIP = 1
then
Keyboard -> HKCR\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod\Default = 1
Block Recognizer -> HKCR\CLSID\{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod\Default = 1
Letter Recognizer -> HKCR\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod\Default = 1
Transcriber -> HKCR\CLSID\{F0034DD0-2AD4-11d1-9CB0-E84BE8000000}\IsSIPInputMethod\Default = 1
Phone Pad -> HKCR\CLSID\{51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}\IsSIPInputMethod\Default = 1
To be continued...

Thanks a lot

Great thread! Thx!

how to disable sms sent notification

Added a script to have the proximity sensor working with the default WM dialer.

When I disabled a HTC Dialer and pick up the call, my screen looks like this.
Outgoing call looks ok.

add "get back ms keyboard"

How do I install the proximity file ? I am not familiar with mscr format.
I also like this app ?
Will we have to wait for Miri cooks your reg tweak suggestion into the xtralight ROM before we get this prox app to fully work automatically ?
Thanks for all your tweaks. I will have a look at them in detail.

You have to install Mortscript, then put the .mscr in your \windows\startup folder

Thanks for this quick solution! However, I must admit being a newbie in this arena and have to ask something probably very obvious to everyone else on this site.
I loved the idea of receiving text messages as text-to-voice, via bluetooth. So I installed your cab and it worked like a charm to remove HTCs text message interface. But I don't know how to make the text messages come through as audible voice to bluetooth (or through the speakerphone either). Are their settings in the phone I must change? I tried pressing menu within the text message thread, looking for a command setting. No luck.
Ideas? Answers?
Thanks much!!
vic starman
*update: I have gone into voice command controls under Settings. All tic boxes are checked, and "Enabled" is checked. Under Notification Options, I also have the box for "announce notifications using bluetooth hands free if available" checked.
*next day update: Also just realized that by making this change, it disabled the ability to send voicenotes as mms from my device (phone). Now the only option when I press to send the voice message is to send using one of my email accounts. It forces me to select an email account, and if I select "send as mms" anyway, it forces me into a page to set up a new email account.
Can I simply uninstall your change to return my old HTC settings? Or did I remove them entirely by making this change?
Thanks for your help!!!

Still not receiving texts via voice. Help!

is there no MMS function in classic SMS view?

sorry, I just don't use MMS at all, so I don't know if they work.

i tryd it.. there is no mms support with this WM sms view..

but, thnx! still a good alternativ for htc sms
edit:

You've founded a real solution for MMS's problem with Windows messaging ?
I need it ...

MMS Greyed Out
I am happy with reverting to WM default messaging client but would really like to get the MMS function working. I tried to send a quick pic and had to resort to email. Not the end of the world but annoying. My guess is a reg edit will fix this but I'm not daft enough to find it. Hopefully, one of the many XDA geniuses will sort this out.
