sms vibrate and ring?

[Guest jolife]

Is it possible for the vox to vibrate and ring / play a beep on the receipt of an sms message?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that's possible.

Click Start --> settings --> profiles

Select the profile you want to change

click on menu --> edit

Scroll to 'Notification type' and select 'Vibrate and sound'

That's it :rolleyes:

Hi.

Got this trick to edit the way notifications are.

Have to get a registry editor:

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\[event] and edit keys like in the following example

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0

KeyName: script Value: "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes) Is the default value.

The meaning for the values are:

a -> activate device

cN -> set volume to N in percentage of max volume

fN -> flash notification LED for N seconds

p -> play ringtone. This will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.

r -> repeat (this should be the last code in the script string)

vN -> vibrate for N seconds

wN -> wait for N seconds (device will wait this long before continuing with the next code)

So default value will activate device (a) then play ringtone (p), wait for 3 secs (w3) and repeat sequence ®.

A string like this "av1p" shall activate devide, then vibrate for 1 sec and finally play sound.

Yo can also modify the sound will be played by changing/adding the "Sound" and "SavedSound" keys. Sounds in any folder may be chosen.

Former keys may look like this: Sound="\My Documents\My Ringtones\sound.mp3" (without quotes)

Any notification sound/action can be customized using this method.

Tested and working on my new Vox :)

Hope it'll be helpful

I'm trying to figure out how to set customized SMS tones for each contact -just like with incoming calls- so any help would be apreciated

yes problem with this reg edit (and I am basing this on WM5 devices) is that there is no dismiss notificsation so even when you read the message the damn thing will continue to do its looping cycle thanks to that little "r" rebooting will stop it but who wants to reboot after every sms recieved.

Stick to what Hager said and just edit the profile if the option not there come back I will tell you how to edit the xml.

please note on the voxe if you have not done the XML hack for one of the profiles this has a knock on effect to other profiles when you select them after the "broken" one is selected its "broken" in the ROM there is a cab file to fix it from John Cody at omnisoft available to download in these here forums too

Just try not to put an "r" in script string. As easy as that.

You can also add the "oldSMS" key with "*none*" value so it may act as a "dismiss" notification....at least this work on my Vox

is that a Dword or a String "oldSMS"

as I would love to see if this works on WM5, I get round it by using autokeylock

but to be fair the original post only wanted to vibrate and souns ...no mention of looping. so I think the xml route would be best for him either via editing it in note pad but preferable utilising the profile settings

tried oldSMS as a string = *none* didnt work tried odlSMS as a dword valeu = 0 and = 1 did not work after reading the sms it carried on repeating and repearing and repeating.

I'll stick to the autokeylock reminder system.

thanks for the advice any how
