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.
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

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.

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.
http://best-reminder.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile
I have the setting checked to keep screen on while on AC, but it still auto dims to about 10% after 30 seconds or so. I want to stop it from doing this and just keep the screen at 90% all the time. Auto-brightness is already off, and that didn't change anything.
I'm trying to setup a tasker profile to turn the brightness to 90% during the day when in the car. Everything works fine, I can see the screen get brighter, BUT it still dims after 30 seconds and I can't see the display when it's bright out unless I touch the screen, then it comes back to full brightness again.
Help please?

Exactly.
I've temporarily resolved this by having tasker open car home, then opening pandora.
When car home is running, it won't dim the screen.
Now I have to figure out how to make it do this without car home open.

Settings > Applications > Development > Stay Awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)
This is true but the screen still dims.
Still searching for an answer.
I had the same problem. After some searching I found this over on android forums and it's working like a champ for me. Hope this helps! (I don't think there's any system setting that will change this, unfortunately)
Download the app "Setting Profiles Lite". Lite is free and only lets you create 1 rule at a time, but multiple profiles (Actions you want it to do when the rule is happening)
1. Create a profile that simply changes the screen time out to "Screen Never Times out" Save it as whatever name you want.
2. Create a rule. Under conditions add a condition for Battery that when "plugged into any charger", hit OK. Now add an action to Activate Profile, and choose the profile you made above.
Bam! When plugged into the charger, the screen timeout goes to never, and the screen stays bright, unplug it and time out goes back to whatever you had it set at!
I have been using this for about 10 min now so I'm a rookie but it seems to be working! Make sure if you screw around in it that you don't accidentally disable the rule (I did that because I tried to make another and the Lite won't let you make 2 rules, and it disabled the first one. Just had to long press to enable it again)

THANK YOU!
From time to time I've searched for a solution to this annoying problem, but came up dry. For months I've been using the built-in Power Control widget to manually toggle between Auto-bright when on battery, and Full-bright when on the charger, but NEVER AGAIN
I mean, if your phone's on the charger, why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the plentiful juice pouring out of the charger to power the screen? (Maybe, and I don't know if this is true, but maybe the battery will charge slightly slower with the display sucking a bit more of the available 0.5 max amps over USB.)
IMO, this problem is really worthy of being solved by a standalone app, apart from the more general Settings Profile Lite (but now that it's solved... I don't feel the urge to code it anymore.)
ChargeBright app
FWIW, I did finally end up writing my own app to solve this problem. Check out the ChargeBright app @ market.android.com if interested.
Settings Profile Lite was overkill since I only needed to tweak one setting: display brightness when charging. ChargeBright saves resources and is better tailored to the specific task in any case.

I have been using this for about 10 min now so I'm a rookie but it seems to be working! Make sure if you screw around in it that you don't accidentally disable the rule (I did that because I tried to make another and the Lite won't let you make 2 rules, and it disabled the first one. Just had to long press to enable it again)

2 years later and this still works like a charm. THANKS.
[Q] How do I turn off volume for text/notifications but leave it one for the phone ring?
You don't till root
Interruption mode?

@pepporony: yup
There's a relatively easy way to do it.
1- Go to Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions> Priority Only
In here, you customize the settings for the Priority Only mode (see point 3-)
2- Check Incoming Calls and uncheck the rest (or however you want it set up)
3- Back to home screen, bring down the notification panel, tap on All Interruptions, which will turn to Priority Only.
Done.

it works, :good:
Alternatively, you can set system sounds to silent (settings -> sounds -> volume). That includes notifications, annoying boot noise and audio touch feedback.
I don't know what else it turns off, but whatever it is, I don't miss it.
With this approach you can keep the priorities logic intact.
hey gang,
I just got a Pixel 2XL and for Gmail and WhatsApp even though I've got vibration off in the system settings as well as in the app, the damn thing still vibrates when a notification comes in.
This happens on both mine and my brothers 2XL, are we missing a trick?
I've tried to reset app settings but issue persists.

Thanks!
Also happening here... I have spent many hours but haven't found a solution
So the way I found around this is to turn off vibration under Accessibility > Vibration and haptic strength.
Not ideal but it works and the phone will still vibrate if a call comes in.

Did you try switching off the vibration from WhatsApp settings -> Notifications -> Vibrate?
Oops, I see that you have already tried that. Never mind!

Hey guys, finally I've come to a solution after hours of searching and experimenting.
For your information I'm using a Pixel 2 XL running stock Android 10 December build (latest).
I narrowed down the problem by making notification tests with apps other than WhatsApp, like Telegram and Messages (from Google).
The problem:
When setting WhatsApp's notification preference to "Silent" (in Android's App info) - having WhatsApp own settings to no vibration neither sound - the very next message received will turn "Silent" option back to "Alerting". This will make phone vibrate (if phone on vibration mode), regardless of your preference of no vibration.
Note that this problem occurs only when phone is on vibration mode.
It happens with WhatsApp and Telegram but doesn't with Messages, making it clear that it's a bug of the app and not of Android itself.
The solution:
1) Adjust WhatsApp's own settings as your wish (if your reading this probably you don't want group message vibration neither sound).
2) Open Android's App Info and tap Notifications
3) Select group or message notifications
4) KEEP IT ALERTING
5) Choose Advanced
6) Tap Sound, then My Sounds
7) Choose None
8) Save
That's it.
It seems to me that faulty apps like WhatsApp and Telegram are currently not able to set None value to the notification sound. And, since Android turns sound to vibration when on vibrate mode, those apps will vibrate regardless of user setting.
The procedure described above will ultimately set None sound directly to Android system, shortcutting the apps poor programming.
Thanks for reading this and please give feedback whether it helped you.
