Is there a way to stop the screen from turning on when a Text Message arrives on the TP2? My old Wing did the same thing and I would end up pocket dialing someone because I got a text message but couldn't get to it right away and the screen was on. I searched but didn't find anything about it in here and walked through a few pages of stuff.
Thanks,
Lance
Use Advanced Config Tool
(However, by default, my TP2 doesn't wake on new SMS...)
Thanks, must be a Tmobile default. I'll check this out and get it changed.
EDIT: I downloaded it and installed it but it's complaining that the .NET version is outdated. I'll have to download that later.

is the sounds & notifications, you can choose something like "display message on screen" for Next Text Message
go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
change DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 1 (0 will wake up the device)
On my Rhodium, it does not wake up by default. I hear the notification, but my screen remains dark

I have upgraded my Hermes to WM6 and wanted to start locking the keypad.
The built in Device lock is fine, however I want this to automatically lock the device after 5 minutes.
I know there is a more advanced lock that can be activated after a period of time but I don't want to enter a 4 digit pin.
Are there any custom apps out there capable of performing this task?
Thanks
Mark
You could try the "Slide 2 Unlock" app posted >HERE<. That looks like it'll do what you're after.....
HTH,
Mark.
phoneAlarm
Ok, tried this app and like it... but...
I believe I have found a issue with this application when using phoneAlarm on my Hermes WM6..
I currently have phoneAlarm configured to alert me 30 times when I have a text message or missed call. This will continue to alert me until it has done it 30 times or I hav read the text etc..
What I have found since installing Slide2Unlock is that I don't get ANY alerts now.
Is there a registry setting that will get around this problem or is it a restrictions in the application?
Thanks

Voicemail Indicator...
Is there a registry setting that allows you to turn on a voicemail indicator on the screen? That would be a nice addition.
By the way, this is a coooool app! Thanks for the effort and bring this to the masses.

Once you get a voicemail, the indicator comes on. If you don't have any voicemails (and texts or e-mails for that matter), then no icon shows up.

Not sure if this is applicable, but I had a problem with Voice Command not waking up when I pressed my bluetooth with this app. I found that by disabling the autosuspend since I had it set to come on automatically when the phone goes into hibernation (set through the battery options), it would work again.
ie: Autostart=1
BlankScreen=1
IdleStart=0

Tested this out last night by calling myself and leaving a voicemail. The only indicators on the IPhone-esque screen were 'text msg' and 'missed calls' counts. Maybe I don't have something configured properly.
thx
I didn't really know what to search for, but I'm looking for a program that if you have a text or missed call or email or anything that requires your attention, shows a full screen message saying "missed call" or "1 New Text Message" or something of the like.
The reason is sometimes my phone is on silent, and even if I look at the phone it's hard to notice if I have something new or not. Is there any such freeware program? I'm using Kavanna Rom 6.1.
Thanks.

Enjoy I hope that helps you out works AMAZING FOR ME
Can you pm me a link to this "Best Reminder" software? Do you think it's better than Don'tForget?
Thank you so much.
Anyone...?
One thing I really liked about my T2 out of the box was the fact that receiving a text message did NOT wake up the phone.
All of the sudden, it is waking up with every text. I checked to make sure that somehow DisableSMSWakeupEvent hadn't been changed to '0', but it is still set to '1'. Did a soft reset, rechecked the registry value (it's still set to '1')but the phone continues to wake up with every text. I also checked in event notifications to make sure I hadn't inadvertently checked the 'Display message on screen' box.
I had installed Advanced Configuration Tool a few days ago, but uninstalled it the next day after only checking out the options and didn't change anything with it. My only other recently installed software is SPB Time, but it's been in place for more than two weeks so I don't think that's doing it. And I'm *still* using the stock AT&T rom.
What gives? I don't want my phone to wake up when I receive a text!
I only fixed this when I used advance config to tell it to wake up on text, softreset, don't wake up on text, soft reset, and then it finally worked how I wanted it.
try deleting the string and then recreating the dword string. and then soft resetting.
i dont understand why you dont like your pro2 to wake up when the SMS comes in, how will you know a message has arrived????
this is a must feature of a phone,each person who are involved in thw world's business will require.
Hope you are not a spooky person,

It will still vibrate, beep etc, just not turn on the screen until you press the button.
Mine is doing the same. I agree with the OP
Why?
Because my phone lives in my pocket, and when I'm seeing patients or have my hand somewhere you probably don't wanna know about, I can't check every text as it comes in. If the screen turns on in my pocket, then I begin pocket dialing or other bad things. And THAT'S why I con't want my phone to light up when I get a text.
Besides, I have the LED set to flash with new message notification, as well as to vibe so I'll know I just got a text.
The good news is that after the problem has suddenly disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared. Guess I must have bowed down properly to the phone gods in my sleep last night...
You could try using S2U2...
That way you won't start 'pocket dialing'.

I do want my Tilt to wake up with every text and it isn't. I am new to this, can you tell me how to make this change?
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.
Guys,
I want to ask a question... with the screen on, when I get a phone call, I can push the menu button to send a text message with a standard text like "I'm busy right now, I call you later"...
- is there a way that I can change this text?
When my screen is off, and the sense 3 lockscreen kicks in when I receive a phonecall, I only got two options, answer or decline... Is there a way to get the menu button to work for me with the text message as mentioned above? This would especially come in handy, because I usually get phonecalls with the screen off...
any ideas, tips, tricks etc?
many thanks in advance
to change the default text menu>settings>call>phone settings>edit default message.
your right about no menu if incoming call when screen off! fix needed
