I set everything to vibrate and ring, and it vibrates when I receive a voice mail, but it does not when I receive an SMS. Am I missing something?

[Guest TigerNet]

...look under the alert tone settings in the profile you are using...

The problem is you can only choose between either vibrate or a tone, it does not vibrate and ring. This really bugs me because when i'm driving i can never hear when i get a message, however with the old nokia i always could feel it when a message came through.

...under alarm type (or sound) in the editing the profile there is an option that says vibrate and sound...

As I said, everything is set to vibrate (and ring)

but still, it does not vibrate, just plays the sound (for the SMS).

for e-mails and voice mails, it's working

If nothing is obvious in the menus, then you should be able to hack the registry to do it. Unfortunately I don't have the exact details at the mo

found the solution! (thanks to you, I looked in registry)

I will post it as a separate thread but for those who are following this thread:

(Use a registry editor for the followings):

1- Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/SMS

2- for PHM Registry editor, press Values

3- You should see three keys (Category, Script, Sound)

4- Select "Script" and open it.

5- Edit the value (originally, it is "p", but we need to change it to "av0p" -note that it no letter O but digit zero-)

6- Send yourself an SMS, see that it vibrates, smile.

Can you pls tell me where I can find a registry editor (I knew "regedit" in Windows, but I don't know if it works with the registry of Windows CE). What is PHM (what's PHM for?) Registry editor? If I make some changes in the registry, can I always save a back up copy of the previous version of my registry?

Many thanks

See this web page I made on the Smartphone Registry. It has the answers to your questions about it.

http://webpages.charter.net/dchester/MPx220/Registry.htm

BTW, my ISP isn't the greatest, so occasionally you have to try a couple times to get the page to come up.

[Guest j1m3]

Brilliant! And of course this lets you change all sorts of other things in there, like making your reminders vibrate and repeat - or your E-mail or voicemail messages.

This was one of my pet hate's about this phone - and its now been solved!

Step 3...I only see two keys (Category,sound) no script...Is there a reason for this??

after changing my firmware to 1.25 generic, i saw that i didn't have that script field too. just add yourself (type: string, name: script)

[Guest mmbecks7]

Thanks!! Worked like a charm....Appreciated!!
