New Text alerts not good enough

Hi
I have had my unit for a week now and although I have to do a soft reset about twic a day as it gets slow or locked up, I do love it.
One thing I do have to change though, is the fact that the notification sounds are limited and for me not good enough to "Alert" me.
They seem to be more like gentle nudges rather than a "YOU HAVE A MESSAGE,,DAMN YOU".
Ive missed messages and only seen later on the envelope icon.
Is there a way to change this?
Maybe new tones?
or maybe continuous bleeps telling you something has happend and not just I little light you will not see when in your pocket.
Thanks
TK

May have answered my own question.

Will give it a try.

Hi TK London
Check out www.pocketmax.net for the alarmToday and PhoneAlarm applications. They will give you highly customizable AUDIBLE and REPEATING alerts for all phone and PDA functions.
The built in repeating aler functions in the PPCPE are not very reliable, but these fime apps fix the problem, plus give you some very useful profile set ups, which alloe you quickly switch between different alert profiles (slient, loud, what you need at home, at the office etc) without having to go in and modify all the settings each time
Hope this helps
Regards
Chris

yeah how do you get it so it the message tone bleeps every so often ???

Alarms/Reminders

Hello everyone. I've used this forum for a number of issues, THANKS! Now I seem to have one that I can't find anywhere else.
I have the Siemens SX66 with Windows Mobile 2003. I use reminders for Tasks as well as Calendar events. I have tried on numerous occasions to remove the reminder sound, both through the Windows Mobile Sounds settings and by turning the volume off. Somehow, the alarm (really annoying dinging) still sounds any time there is a reminder, even if the "reminders" are off in Sound settings.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd be glad to provide more information if necessary!
Thanks so much!

Tytn & Xda2i Subtle differences..help!

Hey everyone
Well, for the past 3 years i have been using the XDA 2 I and I really love it. Recently , however, I had considered buying a 3g handset. I managed to pick up the HTC TYTN on ebay.
Firstly, Active sync 4.5 just doesn't work!! crashes more often than i can count.
Secondly, for the first time ever the built in outlook program will chack my emails over WIFI, the 2i never accomplished this for me, I could ONLY do it on GPRS. but while there are favourable differences there are two simple ones which annoy me most and I am wondering if anyone knows how to disable , or registry hack the option.
1) after sending a text, and the little envelope appears at the top of the screen confirming the send, the 2i gave a gentle 'pip' where as the tytn make a loud tone noise... i cannot find a software option to turn this off... can it be done? if not how?
2) when checking my credit, i don't call vodafone 2345 number, I type *#1345# and get the balance displayed on my screen.. the 2i made NO noise as the commande succeeded, but the tytn makes a big song and dance with yet another tone... once more, can't find a way to turn it off... can anyone think of possible solutions?
Thank you for your time,
.........IB a n e

Has anyone encountered these problems? any ideas?
cheers

Dude, for the message tone, use Schaps advanced config 2.xxx(do a search and you'll find a .cab file). This allows you to shut off the message sent confirmation sound. As for the other, I cant tell you but is it the same as an sms recieved sound? If so you might have to look in your settings>sounds & notifications>notifications for anything that might cause this. also make sure that in settings>sounds & notifications>sounds that "events(warnings, system events) has been unticked. This gets rid of a heap of annoying sounds. hope this helps.... Cheers

wow, excellent advice, thank you. The snapps program was already on my tytn actually, and it worked a treat!
As for the other noise problem... its not the same as the text tone, and I checked all the tones, none correspond to it. That option in sound has been unticked already, i hate all those lil sounds!
but with the sms confirm gone, i can live with the text balance noise.. just mute for a second
cheers once more mate, i appreciate the help.

Vibrate during appointments

Dear All,
I found that the above option is not working anymore for the last couple of days.
Not sure if it is because of one of the following cabs that I installed.
1. Spike's Mic Neo Task bar
2. [email protected] color tf3d
Any ideas what would be the cause. Help is greatly appreciated

I don't see how my theme would interfere with that. The CAB package only replaces several manila files and png files. No registry changes.
Have you checked your Sounds and Notifications settings?

Sorry mate, no offense, I am not at all saying that yours did it. I just mentioned that these are the things that I installed off late.
Yes I did check on it and the setting is 'Set to vibrate during appointments' which is not working. Any help?
By the way, I am not a techie guy hence seeking some help here

No offense taken. Just trying to help. As you can probably guess, I have both of those items you mentioned installed on my device. And I've just did a test.
I've set the Sound Profile to Automatic. Then I've created a new appointment so that it would occur right at this very moment I'm testing. As expected, my device switched to Vibrate mode as indicated on my taskbar. I made a call from my home phone to my TP2. As expected, the ringtone did not play while the device vibrated.
So, if you have your Sound Profile set correctly and you indeed had an active appointment, your device should be switched to vibrate mode automatically. If not, I have no more ideas for you mate, but it's definitely not my theme or Spike's taskbar.

Thank you.
But I also later realized that I changed my ring type to 'Vibrate & Ring' and as a test I changed it back to 'Ring' and guess it seems to work ok. So may be that it was the reason.
Thanks for your inputs.

If you have touchflo disabled. Where do you set this option to vibrate when you have an appointment setup ?

Hi Yogam
On investigation, I *think* the Automatic Profile might fail if there's no reminder set for the appointment. Does that help?

Also noticed that all-day appointments cause problems: when I add an all-day appointment for tomorrow, the Automatic Profile switches to vibrate straightaway. Don't know whether it'd switch tomorrow if I set an all-day for the day after, though.
Incidentally, the Automatic Profile seems not to switch for "Free" appointments.
So see, too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525533 where agentdr8 recommends ageye's G-Profile. I've not tried it but it looks good

Hmm... I've had a quick look and from the forums G-Profile seems to suffer from problems inherent in WinMo such as problems with all-day appointments and Wi-fi in standby
(http://forum.ageye.de/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=735&p=3274&hilit=all+day+appointment#p3274)
So I think my solution at the mo is to stick with WinMo's Automatic Profile functionality remembering:
1) set a reminder for an appointment during which I want a little vibration (sorry)
2) mark all-day appointments as Free, unless I want a little vibration...often (sorry)

Hi Mate,
Sorry, didnt look into this thread for quite a while as I got it sorted out, probably due to some up mess ups in my appointments. But it was working fine after the day.
Thank you very much for taking the effort to send me a PM

SMS vibration, default action, call vibration...

Hiya.
Im using my TP2 for two month and Im really satisfied with this phone (as I did with TyTnII (thanks for tab and ok keys there ;-).
But few things bother me so Im trying to ask here:
1) Default action in email is reply all. Is it possible to change it to reply?
2) incomming SMS have long vibration time. Where can I to make it shorter?
3) When Im calling someone and he pick it up, it vibrate. But too short, can it be longer?
4) there is possible to set phone to switch to external microphone when its faced down. But in spite of the fact that I have it checked, it doesnt work :-(
5) row, where is battery, time and notification pole is everything extept battery notification filed. It means that anywhere I click Notifications is opened. What bother me the most is, that there is for example new email and when I click on it nothing happened ;-(. Rhodium Pack should solve this problem, but its not avaible anymore because of some licence problem.
6) I was always using another than original rom. In TP1 I was using song recognize program, TCPMP, etc. Can someone give me advice, what ROM is now the best? What ROMs are you using and why? Can someone explain me what are shortcuts in the names (WWE etc)? Im in Western Europe, but why its so important?
Thanks a lot!!
John

I don't know the answers to everything, but I know that there are places in the registry that can be removed (named OutlookEnhancement) to remove the reply all. Here is one area to look:
[HKLM\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
"DLL"="OutlookEnhancement.dll"
Remove the OutlookEnhancement.dll field. I'm sure if you searched for something like remove reply all, you will find hits on it explaining how to do it.
I've seen the long vibrate on text, and haven't felt the need to change it but every now and then a bug happens where it vibrates REALLY long, like over a minute, and then I just hit a button to stop it.
I've never seen a Vibrate on Connect modification to let it vibrate longer.
Mine usually switches to external mic when I flip it upside down. I've had it not to it once or twice. Does your G-Sensor work in applications? Maybe Calibrate it? And try it on a level non moving surface (like a table).
WWE means World Wide English. Best ROM questions usually go unanswered here. Everyone's preferences for a favorite rom are different. Line up and sample the Chef's selections and see which one tastes best to you
