How to edit registry so the notification options you want available are available and selected. I posted this on another thread but thought it could also be of use here.
I hated that my brand new Sprint Touch Pro was beeping at me because of an appointment reminder and I needed to dismiss the reminder before it would quite beeping (the Repeat check box is grayed out, but selected for Reminders by default, so it couldn't be unselected). Not anymore
My phone uses MW6.1, so I have only tested these values on this.
First a list of the reminders in the Registry found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
15F11F90… - Reminder

85ee47b2… - QuickGPS

There are two important keys:
AvailableOptionsOptions
The values in these keys will determine what options are available (AvailableOptions) and which options are selected (Options).
The values relate to the following (in the order on the Notifications tab):
1 = Play Sound16 = Repeat8 = Display message on screen4 = Flash light for ...2 = Vibrate
Add the numbers of the notifications you desire. So if you wanted all of them selected you would put 31 in the Options key. If you only wanted a message and vibrate you would put 10.
Next step.
AvailableOptions determine which boxes are available and which are grayed out. (we will leave out Repeat until later). Options determines which are selected, and yes you can select something in Options that is not selected in AvailableOptions, it will appear as a grayed out check box that is selected.
So if AvailableOptions is set to 10 only the Display message on screen and Vibrate check boxes will be available, the rest will be grayed out. If the Options value is 14, the Play Sound will be grayed out, unselected; the Display message will be available and selected; the Flash light will be grayed out, but selected and 5 min (Duration key = 5); Vibrate will be available and selected.
So set the options you want to select and unselect using the Available Options key and use the Options key to specify which are selected. Changing the selection in the Notifications tab will change the value of the Options key, but will not change the AvailableOpions key.
The only values accepted for either are 1-15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31
Is is because you can't have Repeat (16) without Play sound (1), that's why there are numbers missing. I tested putting 16 in AvailableOptions and 31 in Options and all boxes were selected, but grayed out.
Now for the Repeat checkbox
Things get slightly more complicated when the Repeat box gets involved. The way the AvailableOptions values function do not change. Setting it to 15 will make each box, except the repeat box, available, with the Repeat box grayed out.
It seems that the Repeat box is governed by the Options value first and the AvailableOptions second. So setting AvailableOptions to 31 and Options to 15 would result in Repeat being unselected and grayed out.
The only way to un-gray the Repeat check box is to set AvailableOptions to 31 (it still matters) and set Options value to 1073741824 + (what you want selected).
So 1073741825 (1073741824 + 1) is only Play Sound,while 1073741855 (1073741824 + 31) will select all of them.
The only thing I can figure is that 1073741824 is 40000000 in HEX and that is needed to turn on access to the Repeat check box. The values added to that affect what happens to after that.
If you set AvailableOptions to 11 and Options to 107374185, all of the boxes will be checked, but Repeat and Flash light will be grayed out.
I have seen different values listed on the web, but the values I list here are what windows assigned when certain boxes were checked and unchecked. I did us one of the values I found on the web to determine 1073741824 was needed to open access to the Repeat check box.
Have fun setting your Notifications.

Great guide fredjones32!!
Thanks a lot,
is this something that will allow u to stop like the text message ringer when u read it? instead of having to hit the End key?
This is great!
A big THANK YOU, mate!!
Awesome guide!!!! Maybe this should be in the Wiki as well...
Edit: Nevermind, I just added it to the Wiki under "WM6 Common Tweaks"
I have only the options key for each notification in the registry but not the available options key.

Dont' know. Check to see if the repeat is checked for Messaging:New text message. If not, it should only play the sound once, so you could choose a shorter sound.

What do you see in the Notifications tab under Sound settings?
Since I haven't worked with Onyx Ultimate ROM, I can't say if that's the reason or not.
You could try adding the key or use the values for Options that are above 1073741824, since this sets things. If you change the value for Options and the boxes are grayed out, then I would try adding the AvailableOptions key and see what happens.

hi
hav you figure out the duration under Messaging:New text message?
i tried playing around with the values, but dun get it...
some values causes the sms to go w/o the notification..

The Duration key in the registry is the duration, in minutes, for the alert LED on the phone to blink. This value can be is set by a drop down menu that becomes ungrayed when "Flash light for" check box is checked. I believe the default for a new text message has the "Flash light for" check box unchecked and grayed out. The will render any change to the duration as meaningless because without the box checked, the duration key never comes into play.
To adjust that setting, you will need to set AvailableOptions with the appropriate number to activate the Flash light option. You will also need to set the Options will the right number to activate the Flash light for notification. You could try setting both to 15.
Now with the drop down menu accessible, changes can be made to the Duration and they will show in the registry. If you desire to set the registry manually, the only acceptable values for Duration are:
0 (No limit); 5 (5 minutes); 10 (10 minutes) see the pattern; 15; 20; 30; 45; or 60
Other values will not show up in the drop down menu on the Notifications tab. It might even create adverse behavior (just a guess), which might explain what you are experiencing.
Hope that helps.

What if I want to turn them off?

set AvailableOptions to 31 (so nothing is grayed out) and set Options value to 1073741824 (so nothing is selected, including Repeat)
something about reminder's snooze times ?
There is something to change the reminder's snooze times ? (I think that 1, 5, 15 minutes .. and so on, are useless.
Thanks.
Any way of getting more control over the Raphael/Diamond's LED? It has 4 LED's around the dpad that can flash clockwise, counterclockwise, dim, etc. Presumably the light patterns can be controlled but there has to be more to it... The option to get a notification is enabled, but control over that notification appears to be preset (these are the 'rules' they follow: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1390)

Thought I had this figured out. It seems that every morning after the reminders do their job, the box for display message on screen unchecks itself. so it is good for one use at a time... any thoughts. ??
Thanks so much for posting this!
I've created a couple of registry files for those who are comfortable with importing these to the registry - I can't do CABs yet, sorry.
The first file sets all of the AvailableOptions values to 31 without changing anything else. This makes most options available in the Notifications dialog but, as explained above, it doesn't enable the repeat checkboxes.
The second file does the same thing but also sets all Options values to 1073741824. This has the effect of disabling all of your notifications but it does enable the repeat checkbox. Simply go into the Notifications dialog and check the desired boxes (the names of your sound files will still be remembered) and now the repeat checkbox will be available.
Edit: I've finally got round to learning how to make CAB files and I've attached the two versions described above. Please note, these settings work fine on my Diamond but I can't guarantee anything. I'm assuming the full keys names are the same for everyone.
First of all, thanks for posting this info, it has been very helpful to me in preventing missed texts. I use it to receive text pages for work (which I cannot miss). After viewing the text (doesn't matter if I view in TouchFlo3D viewer, WinMo messaging app, or both) it continues to notify me until some unknown criteria (it just stops by itself after like 5 mins or so).
I tried checking the "display message" check box since that brings up a standard WinMo text notification (which is not ideal, but I figured that would give me a "dismiss" option). It did give me the dismiss option, but that does not make it stop playing the notification sound/vibrate. Even after hitting "dismiss" on this box, it still repeats the sound.
Anyone know why or a workaround?
I had the same problem and the way I found to stop it is to press the red phone key, the one that ends the conversation.
I don't feel comfortable with this, but anyway its better than nothing.
THanks man, that works for me too. Not a perfect solution but it seems to work OK.
Also, I got some info on another forum as well, I'm posting it here:
Make reminders show only once
By default, reminders will keep bugging you for 2 minutes. You can change this to zero minutes by adjusting this value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnoo ze\AutoSnoozeMins = 0 (DWORD decimanl)
Note that you can set this to any value you like. Alternative to setting this value to zero is to delete the 'AutoSnooze' key altogether

Just what I was looking for. Great work, however on my Touch Pro I can only enter 8 numbers in the Options key, cannot enter the + numbers. If I set it to 17 I get the Play Sounds and the Repeat box checked but grayed out. Any suggestions??
Re. the long article
That long article is fantastic and clears up lots of things. It even works as documented. The only issue is during the reminder period. It repeats yes but you cant control the delay between reminders. This can be disruptive if you've left your phone on the office desk while you're stiring your freshly brewed
I've tried a few more reminder apps since and gone back to "Best Reminder" - not perfect I know.

Someone drop the ball when they released this rom and placed the reminders in the vibrate profile in lieu of the normal profile.No regedit and switching around profiles needed. This work for me.
Fix:
-Go to settings and then profile.
-Down to vibrate and hit menu on the soft key, choose edit
-Down to reminder type
-Change it to play sound or whatever you want, hit done.
Next
-Down to reminder volume and change it from off to whatever number you want (The higher the number the louder the reminder sound)
-Press done until you are back at the home screen.
You can check this by creating a reminder or go to settings/sound and scroll down to reminders, press menu and play.
Uh, I just tried it. Yes, it does make the reminders have sound, but it also makes reminders have sound when you're in the vibrate profile
It's the same effect as switching the normal and vibrate profile.
You're correct. I suppose this is not a permanent fix afterall.
Hello, everyone;
I've got a TP2 on WinMo 6.5 Pro, and would like to modify it a wee bit to do the following.
First, the signal lost, call dropped window that pops up. I'm an over the road truck driver, and this happens alot in the mountains. Is there any way to disable this silly message?
Second, the backlight always comes on whenever it looses/regains a signal. This is an extreme annoyance, bordering on dangerous, situation when driving at night and I am constantly distracted by the sudden glow from the screen. Can this be disabled?
Finally, emails. Is there a setting that will force the entire email to download, doing away with the tap-here-to-download-entire-message thing?
Much appreciated, everyone, and best wishes for a great day!
Fred
Not sure on 1 or 2, sorry. For 3:
-Launch the inbox (Microsoft version, not Sense). Scroll to Email tab and tap Inbox
-Menu --> Tools --> Options
-Tap on the account
-Tap on "Download Size Settings"
-Message download limit dropdown --> Entire Message
-Download Attachments dropdown --> All attachments
Edit: Not really a solution for the second issue, but if you turn on the "Automatically adjust backlight" feature it won't be quite so bright when it does turn on. Start --> Settings --> System --> Power. Check "Automatically adjust backlight".
Perfect! Issue 3 solved. Thanks, bud.
Anyone for the other two?
entire message
From the inbox of an email account - tap the soft button to the right of the keyboard one (menu?). tap on tools then options - tap on the account you wish to modify. You should see an option for Download Size Settings - select "entire message from the bottom drop down menu then click done.
If you are going through an Exchange Server then run the Activesync app on the phone. Click menu then options. Hightlight "email" then tap on settings. Change the download size limit to "entire message" and ok your way out.
I can't help with the other issues as I am new to this phone too.
Ok. Someone beat me to it.
No worries, mate, thanks for chiming in. You did illuminate another method, and thankfully you two have solved one annoying issue. The others will require entering the registery, I'm sure.
Thanks!

On the Email Issue, go to the inbox, tap and hold to bring up the context menu, select Tools / Options, and you can modify the download settings.
settings\sounds and notifications\ notifications tab... in there you can change what different 'events' do.
If there is a setting in your phone for what you want it will be in there.. if not It's likely a registry change you need to do. That I cant help you with as I wouldn't know what you need to change specifically.
Question on how to set up which settings appear in the "quick settings" area
I may not be referring to the "Quick Settings" area by the proper name, but it's the group of settings available when you pull down from the notification bar twice. On my HTC One M8, there were a number of options to select from, and I could choose which settings I wanted there, and in what order. The settings in there included things like WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Auto Rotate, Brightness, Sound Profile, DND, etc. In the current analogous area for the HTC 10 some, but not all, of the settings I'd like to be able to control appear, and I see no way to change the selection, or even to change the arrangement of the settings that do appear.
I'm sure there's a way to change the settings that appear, and the order they appear in. Can someone who has figured this out please share the secret?
Thanks!
Nope.....

I want to adjust it so that the phone is silent in the following times
From 9am to noon
And from 1:30pm to 3:30pm
And from 7pm to 10pm
I want that to happen everyday, automatically, totally silent,no vibration, no ring tones at all.
And how to turn that on or off if i want to
I hope you can help me, because i can't figure out how to do it
Sure thing! Keep in mind that this guide is for Android 6.0 & above. Here's the guide from Google's Nexus guide:
Automatically silence sounds & vibrations
Silence sounds during certain times
You can set up rules so that your device is automatically silenced during certain times, like at night or on the weekends.
1. Open your device's Settings app Settings.
2. Choose Sound & notification > Do not disturb > Automatic rules. for the HTC M9, this will be under 'Schedules' - CS
3. Touch a default rule like Weekend or Weeknight. Or create your own rule—touch Add rule, enter a name, choose Time, and touch OK.
4. Edit the rule settings (see below).
5. Make sure the rule is turned on using the switch at the top.
Rule settings
Follow the steps above and then touch each setting to edit:
- Days, Start time, and End time: Control when the rule will turn on.
- Do not disturb: Choose whether to silence your device using "Alarms only," "Priority only," or "Total silence" (learn more about each option above).
This guide is mainly for those who know what the "clocktransition" or "activeclock" bug is, where your AOD brightness drops significantly after a few seconds of AOD set to always on while you have the under-display FP reader on.
This workaround functions by turning AOD off and then on after the screen turns off, eliminating this bug from happening.
It's not perfect but gets the job done.
We use an app called "Tasker" from the Playstore (as well as "Tasker Settings")
Here's the guide:
Open Tasker Settings first just to make sure it's running
You can do this at any time, but make sure you remove Tasker from apps that can optimize battery usage (the app will constantly remind you about this anyway)
Open Tasker and go to the "Tasks" tab (dismiss any of the annoying reminders you get from Tasker)
* Add a new task (+ sign at the bottom) and give it a name. Any will do. I will name it "Aod off-on"
Then add an Action on the screen it takes you to (+ sign at the bottom)
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Wait" and select it. This "Wait" command is done so that there is a few seconds before the task can turn AOD off and on so you can fully appreciate the clocktransition animation. You can add any value you want here. I recommend between 3 to 7 seconds but it's up to you.
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 0
Save (back button)
Add a new action
In the "Select Action Category" pop up, search for "Custom Setting"
In the drop down menu under "Type", select "System" instead of "Global"
In "Name", type aod_mode
In "Value", type 1
Save (back button)
You are done with your task, now go back and create a profile that will trigger it
Switch back to the "Profiles" tab and add a new profile (with +)
Select "Event" -> Search for "Display Off"-> Leave Normal Priority
Go back and it will request that you select a task, select the one you created
You should be done. Now, the task will activate everytime you turn the screen off.
Note: If this doesn't work for you, you'll probably have to edit the task and in both instances where you change the aod value to 1 and 0, you'll have to give it root permissions (there should be a checkbox when editing the task and the action to use root)
Enjoy, let me know if it works for you!
