customize email syncing - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

hey guys is there anyway to set it up where my phone only downloads my emails during set hours? i'm sick of waking up in the middle of the night cuz i just inherited $5 million dollars from my long lost ancestor in nigeria....

in active sync you can change the time interval and time to connect like 10 til 18.00 rest by hand

hey, sorry but i still dont get it. you mean i should go to activesync on my comp while my phone is connected? i did that and didnt see any settings for limiting the number of hours my phone downloads emails... please clairify. thanks

One thing I do so it doesn't wake me up at night is disable the notifications. I just remember to check my mail during the day. I don't need to get buzz/alarm each time a mail comes in. If you want to try this do the following:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
From the drop down tab select "Messaging: New e-mail message" and you can set the type of alarm you get. I just disable everything.
If you're using Active Sync to sync you mail (I don't, I use IMAP) you can setup a schedule as the previous post states. Just go to ActiveSync, click on Menu and there's an option for Schedule.

I understand your frustrations with this, but rather than limiting the download, why not limit the notifications. What I found and installed was PhoneWeaver from SBSH.net. This is an automatic profile changer. With this you can specify when and what notifications are set and how loud they are. For me, I have it set to be on vibrate while during work hours, silent at night, and full ring all the rest of the time. For me, this works great.
Hope this helps.

Good suggestions, thanks. I have a 17 year old son that goes out on the weekends and I want to have my phone ring if he needs me. But I have three email accounts and several google notifications that send me a lot of emails. Middle of the night waking up to an email blows.
When I travel, I have been just putting the Kaiser into flight mode, but that doesn't let my wife phone me during an emergency. So, disabling notification before I go to bed in those situations makes a lot of sense.

Email question

i use outlook on my Tilt, when i get email i get a pop like notification every few minutes, and i can selet dismiss or view(or something like that) is there a way to stop that notification popup? also i have my phone light set to turn off after 2 minutes, which it goes into a standby type mode, basically the same thing as when you hit the power button on the right side once how it stand byes until u hit it again, when it does that i cant receive messages, my send/receive is set to check every 5 minutes, but with it in this standby type mode it wont send/receive to get new messages until i basically wake it up, is that a way to get it to send/receive while in this mode?
for your first question: SEARCH THE FORUM !!!!!!!
just kidding (but if you do you'll find your question answered a few times...):
You have to go to Settings/Personal/Sounds and Notification, select New e-mail from the combobox and uncheck the box saying "Display message on screen"
For your second question: I don't know but there are more people complaining about this
thanks man, appreciate it, i guess i had to make things more complicated than they really are lol
I have the same problem. My device (TyTn II) is set to download mails "as items arrive" from my Exchange server. I always have my device in standby-mode using VJDevicelock. The problem is that when it is in standby it doesn't receive e-mails. I then wake it up and suddenly get a barrage of mail.
Search the forums, there was a long thread on this that has sort of died out. Basically, the fix has been identified (we think) and is in the KaiserTweak app. Basically, get the latest xml version of KaiserTweak, and in there are options for "Notifications": change the values under notifications to somehting other than 1 second, and it should fix the problem. Also, it could be a result of having the HTC Home screen installed (if you're using a tilt and installed it as a separate app), the Task Manager seems to contribute to this issue as well (disable it by going to task manager and uncheck the "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen", and a third possible cuplrit is having the "automatic set time zone and dater" option checked on in Settings > Phone. (This has not bothered mine, but others reported that it did.) But, if I were you I'd start with teh Kaisertweak settings and remove the HTC HOme screen (if installed), and go from there.

Ringing Profiles

Does anyone know how to assign different ringing profiles on the Tilt?
My old phone, I have different settings for a Loud Ring, Soft Ring, etc.
The reason is that I have my Tilt checking my emails every 30 minutes and it sucks when at 3 am I get a ringing from a junk email that I received.
I know that in the HTC Home for the ringer, there are 4 choices - Standard, Silent, Vibrate and Automatic....what is the automatic for?
Any advise/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Someones got to know the answer to this question. .....

I **LOVE** the Automatic Profile.
When you set the phone to Automatic the Profile is on Normal UNLESS your calendar contains an appointment that you have marked as "Busy". Whenever a 'busy' appointment happens the phone AUTOMATICALLY switches to the "Vibrate" profile for the duration of the meeting. Then, it switches back to Normal.
I love it!
I'm good at remembering to turn my sounds off during appointments.....but I never remember to turn them back on again!!!

Hm....for some reason it also changes to vibrate even if the appointment mentions that I am free...

Schedule mail checking

Hi all,
I see I can set the email accounts to fetch check every 15 mins which is great - and play a sound when I have email - even better. However, I am often on call and need the phone on at night but do not want the 'you have mail' sound every time I get a spam at 03:00 Is there a way to schedule the email checking so it only occurs during daylight hours???

Yes - they're 'peak hours' on the activesync screen
I cannot see 'pak hours' so must be looking in the wrong place. Can you walk me through it? These are POP3/IMAP email accoutns by the way - not exchange - does that make a difference?
Hello,
I had the same demand and found with the Phone Suite from Spb the best solution. Beside some profiles like loud, meeting and so on you have the possibility to configure a time-controlled profile where you are able to disable the sms or mail.
For me between 11pm and 08am there are no sms and mail sounds - only telephone calls.

There is another very good reason for turning it off during night: saving the battery. As for the spb phone suite, it's an overkill and many of its functions conflict with existing ones added by HTC.
Does anybody know if there is a registry entry where the schedule is stored? If it is in the registry, it should be trivial to write a small program that allows you to turn off mail sync at night.
ok - I can see scheduling for my hotmail and itis perfect - only between these hours and either check every X mins or as they arrive. If only I could use the scheduling part for my POP/IMAP accounts...

[REQ/Q] E-mail tweaks question

Hello all,
I've been using my E-mail option quite a bit on my Touch Pro lately, and I've noticed that the 5 minute update interval is a bit too long for my taste (despite the option to manually send/receive).
Therefore, I am curious as to whether or not it is possible to make a registry edit, install a program, or in any way add an option to make the update interval less than every 5 minutes (say for example, every 30 seconds)?
Also, whenever there is a new e-mail, there is a notification symbol which appears on the taskbar. Along with that, is it possible to create another registry edit / addition which would allow the phone to:
1) wake up upon new e-mail,
2) make a notification sound upon new e-mail (similar to new SMS), and
3) vibrate upon new e-mail?
FWIW, I'm using a Comcast E-mail account on the Pro.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Just go to Settings - Sounds & Notifications, the notifications tab and change the Event to Messaging: New Email Message. Have 'play sound' checked and choose the sound you want; check Display message on screen and check vibrate. i think that will do it.
As for checking for new emails, you can try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970
I have an exchange server so I don't know the answer otherwise. Setting it to less than 5 minutes may lead to a battery drain so if you do that use the scheduler to make it longer (or off) over night.
Thanks for showing me the settings adjustment. I suppose it isn't such a good idea to have the phone check for e-mails THAT often. As long as I can hear when a new e-mail has arrived, it should do the trick for me.

HelloAIM+ Beta

Finally, they have come out with a great AIM program for the G1 because the OEM one is crap, so is meebo and IM+. HelloAIM is great and i really cant complain, great layout, love the hold and slide to switch between convos...
BUT
Does anyone else have the problem of when they exit the program or if your phone dies then you sign back in, all the settings go back to default? For example, say i sign in and set the settings(custom ringtone, LED to flash when IMs are received, Conversation Timeout to 12 hours instead of 10 minutes), it will be fine all day but then my phone will die and then i will charge it through the night turn the phone on in the morning and voila, all the settings are back to default(default ringtone, no LED flashing, 10 minute conversation timeout, etc...)it also does this if i just simply sign out for a bit and then sign back in later.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts.
Edit: I also Emailed the developer almost a week ago now but still to no avail.
Does it have a way to hide empty groups? That's my biggest complain about all of the IM clients... I use groups to sort between co-workers, clients, friends, family, etc.. and I can't stand that there's like, 12 empty groups constantly being shown. :/
Im not sure because i only have 3 groups, but you can leave them open or closed so that you just see the title of the group or you see the title of the group and everybody in it under it.
If you want to delete groups completely, then yes, you can do that. (press-hold, then delete group) But if you mean hiding empty groups (because noone in that group is currently online) then no, i don't think you can.
