How do you make a reminder beep for missed calls? - Mogul, XV6800 General

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.

Phone Settings and Reminder settings not sticking

All of a sudden, my XDA no longer saves settings for my phone or for reminders. For example, I have to constantly change my ringer to Vibrate and Ring, then (after a reboot I'm assuming) it changes back to just Ring.
For reminders, Flash Light and Play Sound (one of the most important things!) have to keep getting rechecked after a reboot. I'd rather not rebuild as I have a LOT of apps on this device.
Does anyone know of reg settings or any other way to get this to stop resetting?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Im having the same problem i think!
My phone keeps vibrating without playing a ringtone, even though its set to "Vibrate and ring".
it's like its always on "vibrate mode", no matter what i try to do.
what rom are you using??
I am using the O2 ROM upgrade straight from their site. It was fine for the longest time; just noticed it about a week ago.
It could be something in your notification queue, this is the cause of most alarm/reminder/profile problems. I recently posted a long and detailed HOWTO for anyone that needs to fix or just spring clean their notification queue, check it out:

[Fix] Disable Wireless Networks Detected Notification

Just extract the nowifinotif.exe file and copy to \Windows\StartUp on your device and perform a soft reset.
It works on my HTC Touch Pro, I'm assuming it will work for any HTC device or possible any WM6 device.
Let me how how it works, and what device your using.
Disabling the notification will work on my device, however after each soft reset they are back. This will fix that issue
This is a standard setting...unless you are trying to do something different.
Settings->Sounds/Notifications
Wireless networks in the dropdown.
Uncheck all of the notifications.
yes, i know it's a setting under notifications.
this is for all the people like myself where that setting doesn't hold. when i soft-reset my device the notifications would come back and i would have to disable it every time. I have bumped into many posts about it with no fix. this is that fix.
Gotcha, that's cool. I've never seen it not stick but that would be a crappy problem.
Nice work on the fix.

Wow for song long i have been annoyed about the wifi popup notification, i knew about the setting but assumed it did nothing, not that it worked but didnt stay
Your app works spot on, is there anyway to still have the sound alert enabled (sonar or something), but just disable the onscreen notification?
Sure
Sure here you go, it assumes you have the file \Windows\Alert-Sonar.wma
and plays that sound when a network is detected. If you don't have that file just rename or create one with that name and put it in your windows directory.
If you are still paying attention to this thread, I would appreciate advice
Hi,
I have a new HTC 6800.
I would LOVE for the file posted as the solution to work for me as I have the same problem with popping up notifications.
However when I installed the file and did a soft reset I get this message:
The program is from an unknown publisher, running it can possibly harm your device do you want to continue?
When I click "yes" I then get this message:
Unable to run the file nowifinotif the certificate is invalid
Ugh. Is there anything that I can do to get the file to run?
thanks!
Oh snap - another solution just found
OK,
Nevermind my last question - another solution was just found.
This model has a side button to turn on/off the wi-fi - who knew! Well, mobiletechreview.com, thankfully!
"don’t fret: slide the Wi-Fi slider on the left side of the Mogul to turn Wi-Fi on. "
So, I'll just turn the Wi-Fi off unless I actually want to use it, which eliminates the constant notifications. Whew.

Hi Chet,
Thank you for your solution! How does it work?
Also, any idea what causes the issue in the first place?
Thank you,
Jeff
Good idea, I've read a number of posts about this, but have assumed it was a GSM phone problem. Could anyone confirm what phones have the problem and which don't?

I don't know exactly but I've been using it myself for a while with no problems. I'm guessing it writes changes to the registry keys that control wifi notifications.
The problem is likely to be that some process is writing some other changes on each soft reset. That's my guess anyway.
How it works
Yes your correct, I don't know why it happens only what's happening and how to fix it.
When you disable the notifications under settings on your device it changes the following values under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Notifications\<"SOME GUID"> with the ".DEFAULT" value = to "Wireless network detected".
after you soft reset your device this registry setting gets reset for some reason.
The other values under this key are:
"Options", "AvailableOptions", and "Wave".
Options is what kind of notification is currently assigned (none, sound, popup, ect)
AvailableOption is your choices of what you could pick from
And wave is what sound will play if enabled.
My program just sets this value back at startup. I can post the source code if anybody actually wants it, but yeah I have no idea why it's happening.
Thank you, Chet. That helps me understand a little more.
no problem
Works for me
Chet,
Thanks, works for me. Small problem, but very annoying.
I've found a few other boards with this question, and I've pointed them here.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=114943&jump=true
Yeah it's an anooying bug. As a workaround I just made a .WAV file with no sound (just 1 second of silence) and assigned that one to the WLAN detecten notification. Works also
What About Other Notifications
Chet,
That was great. But I've noticed almost the same thing happens for "new email" and for "Reminders".
For both of those, I have "display message on screen" unchecked, but the phone still displays the message onscreen. However, in this case, the boxes remain unchecked after reboots.
Have you noticed that HTC's TF3D interface displays a callout box (cartoon quote) for the on screen reminders in the header, so that if I get new email and a calendar appointment, or some other reminder like an SMS or missed call, I get a "callout" box shaped notification at the top of my screen. Now, I get curious as to what the message is, so I click it. TF3D then opens their "easy icon view" screen, on which a bigger callout box is one of the buttons. I click that, and the standard MSFT tiny icons appear at the top of the screen again for "new email" and some other useless reminder like "Mtg at Johns". I need to click these tiny reminders, one at a time, then view the display message on screen, then click the soft "dismiss" button. Is this an easy way of handling reminders that I didn't want in the first place. @#$# HTC and MSFT!!
Any ideas?
This sounds great! I have a Fuze (with TAEL ROM) and this has been annoying me for a while. I suspect most people don't see it because they have wifi turned off most of the time. In my case, it's always on as I don't have a data plan

I have the same problem. it used to work, but now no sound, the vibration still happens though!!! settings look ok, and soft reset does not help.
Any ideas?
solved
Hey guys,
as it turned out the Ring sound level is only for the ringing tone. I had ring level on maximun while system level was off. I raised the system volume and the sms sound was back on. I dont know if this applies to the rest of you but give it a shot. Thanks for your replies.

Vibrator control on incomming sms

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!!!

[Q] Note 3 Keeps beeping every 5 Minutes

I just got my phone on Thursday and everything seems to work fine with the exception that I get the default beep of it every 5 minutes but without any visual notifications.
This is what I have done so far to remedy the problem:
- Uninstalled/Deleted the email app(since there is a similar problem on the GS3)
- went through every menu on the settings menu and found nothing
- changed the default sound - the beep changed the sound as well
- went into task manager and looked which apps could cause the issue
- went through gmail settings and looked if it is found there
Any help would be really appreciated since this is driving me nuts.

I had the same issue at first, it was driving me nuts until i figured it out lol. That setting must not be working correctly since i had no unread notifications but had the same issue as the op until i turned the reminder off.

I appreciate you help but I also have this problem with my Note 3 and I am getting this sound when I have not received any message of any sort!
I have spent ages going round and round in configurations but the only setting I have found is in "accessibility" and that allows you to switch off notifications. I understand that this will only stop the reminder from sounding when I actually have a message but this is very useful so I wouldn't like to lose this feature.
Can you give me any help and also show me hoe to get to the screens you suggest.
Thanks
I have to say why do we even have that button? Lol

It's under Acessibility, in the Vision section. It shoes "Notification Reminder" and when you activate it...you get a beep every 5 minutes if there is a notification.
