Phone Pad Vibrate

Edited an old cab to remove the version limits. It now works on Wm6.
Install and then dial a number from the standard phone dial pad to test! You should feel a short vibrate when you tap a number button letting you know that it's been tapped.
Add it to your CAB file collection.

What exactly does this do, with Phone Pad? Sounds interesting

It vibrates shortly each time, you press number in dial pad... or I guess, coz it did not work on my TyTN
but mayby is problem with some SPB products, because I have lot of them installed in my TyTN... e.g. phone suite, which can manipulate automatically with sound, vibration and light according to profile settings...

YUP! When you go to the dial screen and tap a number a small vibrate lets you know that a button has been pressed.
I'm also using bunches of SPB programs, but I still get the Vibrate from the standard dial screen.

It works on my Hermes but you have to long-press the key. Press for at least a half second to get the vibrate motor spinning.
Also, be sure to set either "short" or "long" tones in the phone options. It won't do anything if set to "none."

Hey thanks for converting to WM6 I had been missing it for awhile now!

Any chance this will work in WM5? Please and thanks.

Yeah this is soooooooooooo useful tip man, thanks a lot !!^^

Uninstall Issues...
I liked the idea, just didn't like the fact that you have to push the button for so long to get hte vibrate to react, just a fraction longer and it turns into a speed dial. So let's talk about the uninstall....
I unstalled the app, everything went normal. Now I have no keypadd tones at all.
hshortt, can you provide a fix or provide the registry keys that this install/uninstall modified?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed on my own...

Works with the HTC Touch / Vouge. Just had to do a soft reset twice. For some reason after the first time, the touch screen stopped responding.

I'd like to know what you did to get your keyapd tones back, this program sucks!!!

guys i have tried the solution in the above link, it didnt work out.
if i exported the registry files from a non screwd device, and exported to my mine... will it work out?

This program is not very effective, cause when I tap out a phone number naturally I tap it quickly, and you have to hold for at least 300ms (I reckon) for it to even do a little vibrate.
it somehow needs to be much more sensitive, lower ms or something. Maybe its a limitation of the whole vibrate mechanism in the phone anyway.
Oh well.

Lost All Sounds
after installing i lost all sound output from my back speaker
no music, no ringtones, nothing
it only made my phone pad vibrate but screwed up all other sound output
tried to uninstall & still no fix
also hard reset & gflashing ROM again didnt fix
did it screw up my device completely !!!!!!!!!!
any fix please???

Vibrate dial pad
Thank you ! This is just what I was looking for

Sorry.Didn't find how to delete message

Hi pretty neat program, until I found a better one TouchResponse... This one allows you to even select the vibration time, and it vibrates on every tap on your touch screen. Well the problem is I un-installed Phone Pad Vibrate and now the the sound is gone when I press a phone number. The link for the fix isn't working, so how do I fix it so I can get the sound back???

Did the link for removal instructions get moved/removed for this?
The link from above is still broken. Anyone have instructions on how to remove this app?

could someone upload it on rapidshare, because i can´t load it, thank you

Prevent Accidental Answering of Calls on Dash

Hello,
I recently recieved a Dash from T-Mobile with WM6 Standard. 1 annoying thing I've noticed is that although the phone's keypad is locked, while reaching for the phone in the pouch, I've accidentally answered calls that I didn't want to . I wish there was a way that required a combination of at least 2 keys be pressed in a certain order before the call would be answered. This would be similar to unlocking the keypad. I could also prevent unknowingly answering a call if the ringer was on silent.

Wow, many views, no solution??

Im not sure about your phone, but you might want to disable any key answer
For my phone ( tornado ), its under settings, phone, call options

Hello karhoe,
Thanks for the suggestion, however that option is already disabled. The problem is that when the phone is in the case or in my pocket, the Answer Key can easily be activiated by the slightest touch which is not good. I'm suprised that more people haven't responded with the same issue.

Yes it happened to me a couple of days ago, quite annoying. The phone was just in my pocket and it rang. Reached in to pull the phone out, and apparently I had inadvertantly touched the softkey that answers the phone, before I could check the caller ID
Well there is no app that I know of that makes you have to press 2 or more keys to answer the phone. And that is what you would need, a 3rd party app.
It would be kind of dangerous or even more annoying under certain circumstances like driving. But if you had 2 different lock options, one normal the other for the 2 button answer, that would be cool. Very cool indeed.
But it does'nt always happen, I think it's happened only twice. Usually the phone is not in my pocket or on me in a holster, because I want to keep the radiation away from my body, so it's usually on my desk or sitting in the car if I am driving. In-between those times it is on me.

I'm afraid this applies to any phone of the Candy Bar type. Happened to me quite often to answer a call while reaching for the phone (S620 and S710 ans some other Nokias). Flip phones are much better for that. You got to open the phone to answer a call and you can still check the caller on the outside display before opening it.
You're right, a third party app setting a two level answer mode would be great, although don't know if this can be done, where the core of the phone handles the answering alone preventing any developer to set up an "answering sequence". Good idea anyway, curious to check on this one.
Ka.

Thanks for the replies. I'm still optimiistic that SOMEone out there may have a solution!

Sorry can't resist - If its someone you don't want to talk to, pretend you're on ATT and drop the call

I haven't had a problem. I use this case
http://www.krusell.se/product.php?productID=576&category=5

@jamssx: lol
@timothyjok: thx for the suggestion, I've looked at that case before, but was trying to remain positive that someon may have software solution. sigh...

From http://www.shipiboconibo.com/dash/#callreject :
Disable Accidental Call Rejection
Have you ever recieved a call and as you pull your Dash out of your pocket it says 'Call rejected'? I have, and it annoys the hell out of me! I derived this hack from a hack telling how to enable this feature, but mine was enabled by default so I am going to assume the original hack was intended for the Excalibur and T-Mobile decided to enable the feature on their phones. By default (can anyone else verify this is default on the Dash?) simply touching the JOGGR strip on the Dash during an incomming call will reject the call. I hate this and here is how you can disable it!
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\JogBar\Settings\EnableRejectCallFunc = 0
As you probably guessed, this is a binary value, setting it to 0 disables it, 1 enables it.

*UPDATED TITLE* Several Issues with Touch Pro 2 **

Okay I think I found another bug in the HTC sms program which I discovered today and wanted to see if its just me or anyone else. The other is hoping someone has a fix for a signal problem, and a solution for the third. I have the HTC EU Official ROM WinMo 6.5 with sense 2.1, and the phone is HardSPL.
1) I noticed today a bug in the HTC SMS program (I know who hasnt), but this doesnt seem to fall under anything I've read so far. Here the problem, When you click the contact icon on the slider bar it brings you to the flip contacts, when you click the contacts picture you go into their "profile" when you click the second sms icon here you can txt back and forth, now what I noticed is if you txt thru there when someone responds to a txt, the tone set (be it the default, or custom) doesnt ring completely. It rings for like a 1/4 of a second. I noticed this as I was txting a friend. Has anyone else have this or encountered this? This is completely different then not being notified of an incoming txt, but runs along the same possible reason why we dont get one.
2) I use a bluetooth 85% of the time, I have one major issue. I saw a possible fix, but I dont remember where or what site, but I dont know if its for this issue either. I normally keep my phone on my belt clip on the right side and the bluetooth on the right ear, but if I decide to move the earpiece to my left ear, the signal seems to get weak, and I start hearing crackling until; I move the earpiece back, or move the phone to the same side. Is there a cab or registry edit that improves the signal strength for this? I have two bluetooths, sony erricson and a Jabra V250, both have the same symptom.
3) Everytime I get a call or make a call, when I am talking the proximity sensor kicks in, which is fine, but everytime I move the phone away from my ear, thescreen isnt at the dialpad but at the black notification screen. I understand that if there was a txt, missed call event then thats fine, but when none of these exist its annoying. Is this by design or is this just something thats going to annoy me to hell and back?

Bumpy Bumpy...
Anyone?
Also I found I think another bug, I dont know if its been mentioned, if it has sorry, but has anyone realized that when the phone is on and at standby and the screen goes black that the volume keys still adjust the volume? I normally keep my phone in a leather case on my belt, and notice that when I bend down the buttons if hit will adjust the volume up or down, I ran into this by accident while bending down all of a sudden my phone vibrated briefly checked the phone and saw the volume was all the way down, thought maybe the screen was up and thats why it happened after the second time I tested it and sure enough you can adjust the volume. I know for a fact the Fuze never did that. Anyone else have this issue?

I don't know that this is related to your symptoms above, but several TP2 owners (myself included) have experienced the fact that this model seems to be particularly sensitive to cases with stronger magnets in the clasp...the magnets are just strong enough to trigger the magnetic switches in the phone that register when you slide open the keyboard, or remove the stylus. It drove me nuts for a while trying to figure out why my phone seemed to keep randomly turning itself on in the case, especially right when I was first sliding it in/out. I had thought it was because there were hardware buttons still active even when the screen was dark, but some thorough experimenting/testing proved the issue was due to the magnets....a conclusion that was confirmed by several other users once I actually bothered to go looking online for a solution (....after I'd spent hours figuring it out for myself lol). So, it might be the cause of your screen coming on and then the volume buttons are just the first ones that get pressed by your particular case and/or posture.
Unforutuately, I doubt there's any possible connection between that and your other issues...

I know there isnt any connection with the other issues, I just didnt want to make another post and have XDA shoot me for it.
Also I know about the magnet interference I read up on that long ago, but thats not my issue. I thought that was it, but I can do the same thing while holding the phone in my hands. So the magnet in the holder does not apply. I can have the home screen up, hit the power button to blackout the screen and then hold the volume down key and it will lower the volume cause by holding it down the phone will vibrate, when I turn the screen on, the volume is all the way down.

You get a shortened notification if the phone thinks you are looking at the screen when the message comes in. It would be nice if this could be turned off, but that is why.

The Pro2 isn't necessary 100% at fault with the Bluetooth problem. It can be a combination with your handsfree earpiece too.
Every Jabra unit I own has always exhibited this problem with every HTC phone I have. The first time I bought a Jabra I remember reading in the manual about their recommendation to keep the phone and earpiece on the same side of the body to avoid "interference" (referring to the body??). And if I'm listening to music through A2DP, and I move the phone to the other side of the body, the music cuts out too.
I also have an old Sony Ericsson HBH-660 and it doesn't have this problem if I wear it on the other side of the body, so it's appears both HTC phones and Jabras emit a weaker bluetooth signal.

My Sony Erricson is a HBH-GV435 And both the Jabra and the Erricson exhibit this behavior. I dont know where I read it, but I think there is a registry edit about improving the signal, unless it was something else and I read wrong, was hoping someone knew what I was talking about.
Zylograth,
I wouldnt want it turned off, if anything it should ring normally. And I think that maybe in connection to the possibility of the SMS alerts not coming in when the screen is off. I think its related somehow. But do you know where this shortened tone noticification is located?
But now what about the other behaviors? Anyone else have them?
The noticification screen is really starting to bug me with I move the phone away from my ear.

weak vibration from droid incredible HELP!!

ok so ive installed apps such ass smart vibrator and vibseq i believe vibseq didnt even work .... the smart vibration is changeable.. but not rreally to my liking...... can anyone tell me other way to make the phone vibrate harder... i can barly hear when my phone is in my hostle.... hahhaahh

There are more punctuation marks in the world than "...". Lawdy, at least read what you're typing.
If your not "satisfied" with the vib motor, I think you're stuck getting a new "phone".

To add to this is there a way to make it vibrate multiple times for an incoming text. My police department sends me a text message for a swat callout but it only beeps or vibrates once. Is there a way to make it keep going off until I acknowledge it?

Vibration?

Anyone know how to get the screen back that I saw at set up about how long the vibration would go for? Also, Is there a way to increase intensity on this watch?

Download the app, 'Feel the Wear' by Martin Florek. Allows you to customize your vibrations.
As for intensity. Not possible to alter. That is a hardware fix. But with the app, you can make the vibration last longer than normal, making it more obvious when a notification comes in.

Does anyone find that the vibration is noisy?
I don't know if this is my unit but when it vibrates in a silent room it's audible from a few meters. Vibration strengh is definitely weaker than my 1st gen moto 360.
If it's my unit, I'll ask for a replacement coz I barely feel the vibration.

It's like that for everyone. I have the mesh band which helps since it is metal and can be worn tighter than the link band.

Thanks. IMO the first purpose of a smartwatch is to make sure you get notifications. Therefore I decided to send it back as it was a deal breaker for me. Too bad...really liked the design (black stainless steel )

Vibrator is VERY noisy, I was surprised.

thanks all.

I tried that feel the wear and it tears through battery, but after wearing a watch, which I have not done since mobile became a thing, I find I look at the watch often enough to catch anything I did not feel so I'm good. It's so nice to only pull my phone out to pay for things, now I wait until my phone replaces my keys and eventually the watch can do all that the phone can, pay for things and unlock doors and start cars.

It seems that "Feel The Wear" doesn't show the notification card, it only vibrates. Does anybody have it work with the card popping-up at the same time as the vibration? Or anybody had the same problem and got a solution?
Axello

I have very weak vibrations too, and it is very annoying.
The purpose of the watch is to notify me of appointments, emails and calls.
"Feel the Wear" ..... I am not sure what it does if anything.
If does not have very good documentation.
Change the pattern, length of vibrations how ??? "Feel the Wear" does not say.
There is a list of 100 or so applications .... I am supposed to manually edit them and which ones.

Why is the vibration so loud lol. I just got the watch yesterday. I wore it to work today and I got three notifications at once and it was way too loud in a silent room. Kinda embarrassing loud. I love this watch but hate the vibrate. I see people have asked this question but I didn't see a solid answer besides rooting it and installing a custom kernel. Is there a way to turn off all vibrations for the watch on a global level? I can live without vibrations but I need notifications.

i dont know what happened. since the update to 1.5, sothing strange is hapening to watch. suddenly begins to to vibrate then stop, the begin again without any reason. dont know if it´s a watch problem, firmware problem... it´s not a constant vibration.. i can not explain exactly. Anyone can help me ? regards

I had that issue since unboxing on July 17th, but not since a factory reset because I unpaired my phone within the watch's settings. I did not connect it to Bluetooth only through android wear and it's working great. I guess I can't make calls but I don't mind. It's working great now.

I have another type of issue. From time to time watch stops vibrating at all and start vibrating again without a reason. I cannot see any behavior pattern in it, but they don't vibrate even in process of loading after reboot. Is it hardware problem? I've tried "Feel the wear" app - no effect, watch just not vibrate when I press "try" button.
update: It starts work after I hardly shake my wrist and work for a hour or two.
