Blinkig hard keys - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello to all, I am a proud owner of a HD2. Have searched forum for a cab file, which could add a possibility by incoming events(missed calls, new sms etc) instead of blinking led, blinking hard keys. That will do much better job and visibility versus single led in the top of the screen...
Many thanks in adwance and happy new year to all of you...

Vibrate function sucks in WM6

I couldn't find anyone else complaining about this which surprised me.
I have tried all ROM's so I assume this is a WM6 issues but in WM5 with my 8525 when using the vibrate function whether it be for phone calls or new emails etc it would be a nice long constant vibrate.
Now with WM6 the vibrate function is a wimpy ass short 3 vibrate pulses. I mean I carry my phone right on my belt and I can barely feel it go off sometimes.
Is there a way to change this in anyway?
It vibrates AND sucks and you Complain ??
(sorry, couldn't resist....)
HAHA
but its my phone not my girl
Man I can't believe I'm the only one that this bothers and I can't find anyway to change it :-(

LOL! 10/10
Finally usable vibrate, the wm5 constant vibrate was so loud and hard that it was impossible to hear ring tone beneath it
WM5 used to sound like a cow mooing if on a wooden desk.

Now that's funny
Anyway, to try and give a possible solution (cos I don't always just complain about people posting repeat questions ) I remember reading something about ring \ vibrate patterns ages ago...
If you look in the blue angel wiki reg hacks page (here) there is a section about a third of the way down about phone settings and there's quite a bit there.
I've not tried it but it seems likely to be the fix
Good luck!
Yes but that is for just the standard ringtone because I already tried it. That hack doesn't do anything to the vibrate function for new email notification..
So my search continues but thanks..

some people are hard to please
I love the three short bursts... just enough to tell me theres a message but not too much to make my trousers look like there's a ferret in there trying to escape (like in WM5)!

Honestly I thought the same thing at first but I have noticed recently that I am missing them because its just not strong enough..Heck if I could up the amount of times to like 6 maybe that might help also..
Ok so to change the vibrate function during a phone call ring its
Phone Ringtone Script [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
Change the value of "Script"
Here's the code:
a - stands for display
r - repeat/replay the script again
c - sets the volume C50, c150, c100
f - means flash .. f1 flash for 1 second and f0 stands for flash continuously
p -means play ringtone
v- vibrate then incorporate te]with number to state how many seconds it will vibrate example. v3 vibrate for 3seconds or v0 for continous
w - stands for wait or pause then specify how many seconds like w3(wait for 3 seconds)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I figure with any luck I could find a registry setting for the vibrate on new email notification. The best I could find is under
HKEY CURRENT USER/CONTROLPANEL/NOTIFICATIONS
the ones at the top reprsent all of what you have for settings under sound notifications which I want but under the new email one theres no value called script.
Anyone else who is a bit more familiar with registry settings give me any ideas or anything?
thanks

I agree I could not stand the wm5 vibrate, I am constantly using im+ and that constant vibrate would freeze the device when I would receive simultaneous messages.
my phone is still vibrate like WM5, long and non-stop.
WM5 was too much, I definitely prefer WM6 vibrate, but think something halfway between would be better.
It seems to me that not only is it not continuous but it doesn't vibrate as hard, thoguht hat might be because the motor takes too long to get up to full speed, so the 3 bursts don't get it running flat out?
Definitely an opportunity for someone to put together a little application to make it easy to customise.
Has anyone been able to find where this is in the registry? I have reverted back to wm5 and would like to change it to the wm6 3 pulse vibrate rather then the continuous.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
The long continuous one of wm5 was really annoying (esp. when phone is sat on the desk) but at least I didn't miss calls / not see texts/emails arrive.
I would prefer something inbetween. Perhaps 2x 1 sec bursts.
I don't have WM6 yet, but have been reading these threads before I do apply it -- and THIS is why.
good thing you reported back nahgum. I agree it's long and annoying, but at least if ur in a position that you can't glance at your phone, you know whether someone called or txted.
For those saying WM5 is long -- it would be great to find a way to do something like 2 1 2 for phone and 3 3 3 3 3 for txt. MrDSL is on the right track, just gotta find the key -- then someone could probably whip a little gui to make it nice and smooth.
I have WM6 (Black Satin) and it still has the long long vibration, which is quite annoying.
Any idea how to change to the 3 short pulses mentioned in this thread?
The registry tweak is quite limited (cannot have pulsing vibrations while playing ringtone).
Thanks!
You guys should look into a program called "Phone Alarm". It allows you to change the vibration feature to your heart's content.

WM 6.1: Threaded SMS issues, other stuff

Hi all!
Well, I installed 6.1 and it works great! It's a new dash, and I HATE the T-mobile OS with a passion. I downgraded from a wing (though it feels like I upgraded to be honest... nothing but problems with the wing) so I don't know if this is a WM 6.1 issue, or a Dash issue, but I've got some problems:
1. I love the whole "IM" feel of a threaded SMS message, and I'd really like to use it, but I had to disable it, because FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T SCROLL UP TO READ OLDER MESSAGES!!!
I tried EVERYTHING and I just can't do it!! I had my girlfriend send me 4 messages in a row while I was sleeping and I can only see the last 2. I had to disable threading just to read her messages! I'd like to fix this. Can someone please tell me how to scroll up for the love of God???
2. Since I disabled threading, I now have a new issue... 2, actually. They're not problems, just annoying as hell.
- I've got a light green format now. Light green header background with darker green text. Edit area is green text, which is nice, but I'd prefer black & white, or a darker green at the very least. Is it possible to edit this without changing the whole damn theme?
- When I open an incoming text message, I see a blank white screen. At first I thought it crashed, but then hit the "Up" button and saw that it opened the message, and put me at the BOTTOM of the message by default! Again, not a big deal, but it is a pain. I'd really like it to be at the top of the message (the header) at LEAST at the top of the message body. Anything I can do for this??
Sorry if this topic appears elsewhere... I DID search, but got about a million results back and nothing relevant. If you're going to get mad at me, at least link me to a topic that's already covered these issues Thanks!!
Thanks again, in advance, for your forthcoming help!!

Anyone?

1. I have used several of the 6.1 ROM's from Kavana and Ricky, and am able to scroll up on a threaded conversation that goes beyond the bounds of the screen.
Sorry I don't have any other answers for you. What 6.1 ROM did you install?
Kavana 6.1
What did you try to do to scroll up? I can very easily scroll up to older SMS messages by pressing up on the directional pad. This is on the latest Kavana 6.1.
That's what I did... pushed "Up". Nothing happened. The cursor stayed in the edit area, and the screen didn't move.

Change the speed of LED flash on text message alert?

Hi everyone!
I'm not too much of a frequent visitor here, so apologies if I have missed a similar thread. I had a quick search.
Just a quick question:-
Is there an update/ registry hack that would allow me to speed up the rate of the LED flash alert when I have a text message?
I frequently miss texts and my Orbit (Mk1) will obviously revert back to it's 'sleep' state. It would be good to see at a brief look for any missed texts, without having to wait to see if the text alert is flashing or the green signal LED!!! I'm a little bit colour blind which can make it a little difficult in the wrong light.
Can it be done?
Thank you all once again!

Does the Rhodium have a Constant Light Notifier?

the touch pro had a wheel of light that you could set to keep blinking when a text is received until you read it.
most phones light up when it is recieved for a few seconds than stop
does the touch pro 2 keep true to the original and keep on blinking? this was very useful i hope it stuck around for this
Pro2 (at least mine, the European version) has a single led light on the top.
This is normally off. But if you have some missed calls or unread sms messages, it keeps blinking until you visit the page that has a summary of what has not been answered/read.
Is this what you are asking?
you can set a time which the notification led should be flashing for notifying received mails and messages and missed calls too. the period can be set to x minutes or "endless".
Yes, this has been a standard adjustable setting on WinMo for years -- and still is (it's not specific to a particular phone -- it's part of the OS).
Find:
Settings - Sounds & Notifications - Notifications - Event: Under this drop-down menu are various "events", including Phone: Incoming call...and New Text/SMS Message, etc. The choices for each include "Flash Light for...[drop-down menu for time], including "No limit".
This is what you're looking for, isn't it?
thanks!
awesome. i guess its standard on PPC only though
My TP has it
my BJ2 and Tornado with 6.1 don't

REQ - Soft 'button' lights on new SMS, etc

Hi there,
As the title suggests, I wonder whether it would be possible (and if anyone was up for a challenge) to make the soft button lights fade in and out when there is a new SMS, etc?
I come from a HTC Hero, where the trackball light does this...and since there is no visible way to show a new SMS has arrived (short of turning your screen on), I thought this might be a nice way of alerting the owner to new notifications.
I guess my questions would be:
1) Can it be done?
2) Is anyone up for the challenge?
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for this mate....I was unaware that other people had had such an intelligent suggestion as mine
Thanks
