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.
I saw a registry edit for the beep whenever you hit the green talk button to turn it off and I remember doing it but for some reason when I reset the phone it doesn't stay...does anyone happen to know of a way to get it to go off?

The trick will be to find something in HKLM rather than HKCU. Typically, settings in HKLM stay through resets/profile changes/etc while HKCU is only based on that current session (it's Windows after all).
However, I just did a test (including a reboot) and will confirm that if you change the values in HKCU and you DO NOT change your profile (from normal to vibrate, silent, etc and then back), you can keep the beep off.
Here are the values that you will need to change to (open your favorite registry editor):
- HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart > InitVol (0)
- HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall2 > InitVol (0)
With those two changes, your "beep" should go away as long as you do not change your profile. I have no, however, figured out a way to keep the beep across multiple profiles (then again, I haven't experimented enough).
i saw a cab posted some where to remove the beep but i forgot where i saw it
drop the attached callstart.wav into the windows directory of your device and allow it to replace the original. the only way ive ever been able to turn that most annoying beep off is to replace the original file with this blank .wav file. enjoy your nag free calling!
Hello everyone,
I just bought my ATT tilt 2 and I have a few issues that I would like to address. If you guys can help me address them it would be greatly appreciated.
(1) When I get a call and message at the same time, my phone doesn't stop vibrating even when I am in a call and the other end can hear a buzzing noise.
(2) In my message tab, I have a '1' icon showing that i have a new message but I have no new message. I even deleted all the messages and still it does not go away. Therefore TouchFLO is also showing me '1' new message all the time.
(3) In my previous phone (omnia), I could hit any of the front hardward key to light up the phone then I could unlock it. but that feature does not seem to work in this phone, I have to everytime hit the power key to go in and out, therefore I find no use for the lock feature. I changed the setting for it to never go on standby but then the screen always on (low visibility) and that would probably use up alot of battery.
Any fixes for these problem?
I do not mind changing ROMs but I have no idea which ones are stable and how to go about changing them. I can look up on how to change them but I need to know what people are happy with. I do not want to keep changing ROMs.
Thanks Alot for your help
Have to push power button to wake up device
I have a TILT2 and it sucks to have to push the power button to wake it up. Does anyone know how to modify this?
I would like to push one of the front buttons to wake it up as they are more accessible.
Thanks.
Number 1 is weird. Maybe try a hard reset.
Number 2: Go to Start>Settings>Today do to "Items" tab. Uncheck TouchFlo3D, and check Messaging. Hit OK, and go back to the Today screen. There should be some stupid welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages (for some reason doesn't show in TF3D). Delete it, and you can go back into the Settings and turn TF3D back on. The "1" message icon should be gone
I had the same problem, and this worked for me.
number three:
Try this link from XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578061&highlight=wake+device+button
If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..
Could not find this kind of simple app on xda so I wrote 3 quick apps. No screens or user interaction just execute them to set sound profile to Silent, Vibrate or Normal. SHould work with WM6.1 and up with or without Touchflo. You do need CF3.5
3/12/2010: Added PFSwitch utitlity which has the follwing switches:
Run with no switch:
Read current phone setting and move to the next profile. This toggles between Normal, Vibrate & Silent.
Run with 1 switch:
onoroff = toggle between on and silent only
onorvibe = toggle between on and vibrate only
normal = go to normal mode
vibe = go to vibrate mode
silent = go to silent mode
Run with 3 switches:
normal x y = go to normal and set system volume to x and ring volume to y (note x & y can be 0,20,40,60,80,100)
Run with 5 switches:
normal x y run runparms = same as 3 switches but when exiting run program 'run' and send params 'runparams'
Some examples:
PFSwitch silent = set phone to silent profile
PFSwitch normal 60 100 = set phone to normal sound with system sound at 60% and ring volume at 100%
PFSwitch normal 100 100 "\windows\iexplore.exe" "www.xda-develpoers.com" = set sound to normal both system and ring at 100% and when done launch internet explorer to go to xda website
PFSwitch silent 0 0 "\Windows\ctlpnl.exe" "cplmain.cpl,11,0" = set phone to silent and when exiting run Control Panel and open to tab 11 ident 0 (Menu Items I think)
Note: to run a program you must have the complete path since win mo does not allow relative paths.
PFSwitch V2.0
Added 9 new switches which are optional.
Switch 6 = ACTimeout
Switch 7 = ACTimeoutUnchecked
Switch 8 = BatteryTimeout
Switch 9 = BatteryTimeoutUnchecked
Switch 10 = Brightness
Switch 11 = ACSuspendTimeout
Switch 12 = BattSuspendTimeout
Switch 13 = ACSuspendTimeoutSave
Switch 14 = BattSuspendTimeoutSave
Example:
PFSwitch "" "" "" "" "" "" "" 30 0 3 "" "" "" "" would set backlight timeout on and at 30 seconds and brightness to 3
thanks
Thanks for this ebernazz2.
Been looking for ages for something just like this.
niccccccceee...
These sort of apps are always usefull. I just wish there was an app like this to toggle between USB and ActiveSync...
You placed 3 copies of the same file in each cab Instead you should have just placed the exe in a folder inside %CE1% ("Program Files" folder according with OS language) and the shortcut in %CE11% ("Start Menu/Programs" files folder according with OS language)
Would you be willing to make a version that toggles normal->vibe->mute each time the app is launched and with command line support (so we can create shortcuts with the command to select which profile to set)?
Sure I will make a single app that goes from normal to vibrate to silent if no command line argument is passed and if an argument is passed then it will go to that one.
Eric
Here you go. I don't have my phone with me to test this so please let me know if it does not work.
PFSwitch will toggle between normal, vibe and silent if run without any command line input. If you prefer to have a command line input to get to a specific profile then simply run it with one of the following switches:
normal
vibe
silent
Eric
Thank you! Already tested in my device and both toggle and command functions are working
I don;t understand what you mean by an app from USB to activesync. I don;t ever connect my phone to my PC so is tat what you are asking for?
Eric
Recent phones (like the Samsung Omina) have the ability to either connect to a PC by means of ActiveSync (RNDIS) or real USB connection (Mass Storage mode for memory cards or internal storage).
The advantage of the Mass Storage mode is that it's much faster and can be used in a Win PC without ActiveSync or other OSes.
I currently have a link in my today screen to a dirty MortScript I wrote (but most likely it's written in a device specific way and only works in the Omnia):
Code:
usb = RegRead ( "HKLM", "Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers", "DefaultClientDriver" )
If ( usb eq "RNDIS" )
Run ( "\Windows\USBSetting.exe" )
Sleep ( 200 )
SendSpecial ( "Down" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendSpecial ( "CR" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendOK
ElseIf ( usb eq "Mass_Storage_Class" )
Run ( "\Windows\USBSetting.exe" )
Sleep ( 200 )
SendSpecial ( "Up" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendSpecial ( "CR" )
Sleep ( 50 )
SendOK
EndIf
See my PM ans see if that helps. If not let me know.
Eric
I get you now. Let me see if it is just a registry update or do I have to call a function in core.dll.
Eric
I think that just changing the registry won't work (or at least I wasn't able to do a MortScript to do so... though I'm really not a coder).

You are correct. The problem comes from the necessary events that winmo needs. In essence the app you used is loading the appropriate drivers that are specific to the hardware manufacturer. That needs to happen through ActivateDeviceEX function which is why simple setting of the registry won't help (it actually will assign the a new number in the registry HKLM\Drivers\active). I see no easy way around that coupled with the problem that the driver is manufacturer dependent.
Eric
Sounds like a big hassle for such an apparently small function...
I really hate how so much stuff in WinMo is device specific though it just seems like a side effect to the fact that Microsoft leaves all these things up to the device manufacturers... Maybe this will change in WinMo7 (not that it'll be available for my device anyway...). I really wish that the mobile OSes were in many aspects more like the PC OSes (like the fact you can install the OS if your device has the specs to run it rather than your manufacturer choosing if you are "allowed" to update it).

Hi, I am using action screen to build a phone profile switcher: night, gps, car, outdoor, home, internet, mute...The code controls succesfully the system volume but I do not seem to update with success the ringer volume. Would it be possible to add a functionality to your app to define mode (mute, silent, normal) and at the sametime setup the volume for both ringer and system? Or could you help me understand if it is something that can be controlled writing to the registry? it is device specific? the scripts I found so far do not work in my polaris
Not sure what you mean.... I have an app that rotates from silent to vibrate to ring or you can set a switch to go directly to a profile. If you want to control sound or profile I can give you code but it would be Visual Studio code. What is Action Screen? IF you are asking if the system and ringer volume require 2 methods to set the answer is yes. You have to set both if you want both to change. Do you want to see the difference between setting the system sound vs ringer sound?
Eric
OK, actionscreen is an old htc program used to launch new sms, new mms and so on. It is just a popup menu (fullscreen) that gets away if not used after a couple of seconds. It is simply an app that has shortcuts written to the registry and launches them.
In my case I have not been able to start using visual studio, so I usually work with mortscript to launch scripts. In combination with any popupmenu like actionscreen I launch mosrtscript files that change the profile: eg my car profile will set bt discoverable, wifi off, full brightness, etc. my night profile with mute the system sound but keep the ringer volume in case someone calls for something important. My internet profile will open wifi, disable bt, etc. Using mortscipt I am able to change the icon so when I choose a profile the wifi icon gets red if activated and the profile icon gets the image of the active profile.
So basically I want an exe or mortscript file that can do two things at the same time: switch or set the mode (mute, silent, vibrate) and define the volume for the ringer and for the system. I do not know if it is more clear what I am looking for ?¿!!'¡'¿?!
thanks
I get you now.
I could write a .net app that takes 3 parameters. Lets say I call it SetSound2.
You would then use SetSound2 x y z where x would be mute, vibe or normal - and y would be the system volume level (20,40,60,80,100 percent) - and z would be the ringer volume (same numbers as y).
Would that help you?

Sure. I will write that tonight after work and post it for you as long as you test it out and let me know if is doing what you desire.

Does anyone know how to set up a task to turn on do not disturb, or priority only, or whatever it's called? Coming from htc, you could just tell tasker to turn the volume all the way down or turn on silent mode. Can't seem to duplicate that on the g4. I'm using smart settings now, but the results are inconsistent.
i think you need secure settings (plugin, playstore) to archive this
In Tasker, there's an option for Audio > Interrupt Mode - in there you can choose Priority or All. This should do what you want.
I have Tasker setup to mute the phone just before and just after the "battery full" sound plays, as it cannot be disabled (without root).

Perfect, thanks. And I was using a task to turn off the battery full sound also, until I realized that I can just keep the volume level for "touch feedback and system" all the way down. That gets rid of the battery full sound along with some of the other ones that were bothering me.
My favorite g4 tasker workarounds are to set up a task to turn the volume all the way back up again after I plug in headphones and it automatically turns down the volume "to protect my hearing", and adding an icon in the status bar whenever it's charging because I need a visual confirmation that it's still plugged in and I can't make out that lightning bolt in the default battery icon.
