How to stop vibrate pulse on reset/power on.

I usually have my phones on a scheduled soft reset in the middle of the night. I put it face down so the light wouldn't wake me but the Kaiser(Qualcomm) does a vibrate pulse as if I needed that... Anyone know how to disable that?

Put it in your sock? *cough*

i wanna to know the answer too....

Anyone?...

I have a couple ideas but they involve either a hammer, or a fish tank.....
Seriously I am looking around but have not found anything yet

Sorta weird you can't disable this :|

Diable vibrate
OK.. might seem odd but a found some materail that said that some of the software used to disable the led with kill the vibrate feature... I could not find the software.. but it give a place to start

There is a software, but I think a registry tweak will be easier:
Code:
Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
Change the "Index" value from 1 to 0
Soft-reset the device
Killing the vibrate isn't a feature, it's a consequence in this case.
And, it's not killing the vibrate on reset/power on.

I think this is something on the chipset level that can only be resolved by a altered ROM or "chipset" update from Qualcomm...??

stop vibrate at every soft-reset
Has someone been able to stop the vibrate starting at every soft-reset ?

I prefer to think of it more as a shudder whilst yawning as it wakes up

How to reduce the vibration time period ?
When I put my PPC in vibration mode and a remind alarm arrives, my PPC is vibrating for a TOO much long time ! I just want it to make, 1 short vibration , how do configure the PPC to do that ?

Surely this must be a hardware issue which can't be changed?
I've change my ROM and radio more times than i can remember and still have the same issue. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't some of these ROM bases even come from different WM hardware (which doesn't have this problem)?

I don't think the vibration duration is linked with the hardware, there must be a way to configure this, as it is possible to configure the ringtone to increase the sound or not.
Anyone has already tried changing the vibration duration ?

There's 2 ways you can put your phone into vibration mode:
1: tap the speaker icon on the top bar of the phone and select "vibrate" from the on, vibrate, off options.
2: tap the speaker icon on the top bar and leave it set to "on", but drag the two volume sliders to the bottom.
If you use method #1, when you get a notification it will give you 3 short bursts of vibration.
If you use method #2, the duration of vibration for reminders and other notifications (email, sms, etc.) is related to the length of the audio alert. I have my phone set to make noise and vibrate at the same time and when I get a message, it vibrates for the entire time that it's making noise, and not a bit longer. When I drag the volume sliders down instead of putting it exclusively into "vibrate" it vibrates for the same amount of time, so I imagine it is still playing the sound file I have associated for that notification, just not outputting it to the speaker, and vibrates while the sound file is playing.
So if you want a shorter vibration when your alarm arrives, choose a shorter beep, tone, jingle, whatever sound you want it to make when you get an alarm. Or use option #1 for putting it into vibration mode if the 3 short bursts are acceptable to you.
The vibrate upon startup is some low level thing, and I have no idea how to change it.

extending the length of the ringtone

First, off i did a search and all i could find is extending ringtone by looping, which apparently removes the 3 second lag, but I haven't really noticed anything.
Anyhow, I am on At&t service and it appears that my phone only rings three times with the tilt. I switch my sim card out and put it into my older motorolas and each time I call those phones I get 5 or 6 rings.
I noticed this because when my tilt rings it only lasts about 10 seconds before it connects to my voicemail.
In the past, I may have noticed an option on my device but at this time I couldn't find it. However, I may just be imagining things. I am tired of missing calls because i can't get my phone out of my pocket in time. If anyone has any suggestions about extending the length of the ring it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried playing with the registry value for ring script?
I've seen this several places, but here's one forum discussion's tutorial:
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

ya i saw a similar post i think i need to call at&t because it appears it is on the dialers end.

I can confirm that what you need to do is call AT&T. The default is for the phone to ring 3 times and go to voicemail. If you would like it to ring more time, you must call customer service and request it. I personally don't care, but had to do that for my father who can't always hear his phone very well. We had them change it to 6 rings for him.

i use full song mp3's as ringtones and it plays for as long as it dials you

Extending ring duration before call goes to voice mail
Here's how it's done: Start > Settings > Phone > Services tab. Tap 'Call Forwarding' then 'Get Settings'. Notice section 'Forward phone calls only if:'. 'No answer' should be checked. Change 'Forward after' to a longer value. (I use the maximum, which is 30 seconds.) NOTE: This works on an 8525/Hermes on AT&T. YMMV.

^ winnar. ThanQ, had been wondering about this for a while.

I believe that worked on my tilt also...thanks....

Vibrate AND Ring after Vibrate - Possible?

Subject No such standard function
Stardard has ring after vibration, but after ring started there is no vibration... but i need ring and vibration after vibration only...

On my Diamond I can edit it in registry (I'm not sure that it's always RingTone0):
Key- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
Entry - "Script"="v2w3v2c20av0pc250r"
In my example it vibrates twice and then vibrates and rings with increasing ring
For details about script's codes see wiki:Registry Ringtone Scripts
Good luck!

What if i just want 3 vibros for 3 seconds, and then usual vibro and full call ring?

try:
av1w0.1v1w0.1v1w0.1v0p10r

nice, about delays between vibro and vibro duration - i can hadle it
one problem exists after RING played - it goes back to 3 vibros...

try:
v1w0.1v1w0.1v1w0.1av0p10r
or maybe so ( with 2 sec delay between each repeat ):
v1w0.1v1w0.1v1w0.1av0p10w2r

i have done such thing:
av1.5w1v1.5w1v1.5w1v0pr
how to make that after ringing begin it will play 5 seconds with 25% percent volume, then 5 seconds with 50% and then rest the time at 100%?

Ringtone problem

Hi,
I have been having this problem for the last couple of days, for some reason the volume of my ringer has dramatically decreased to the point where i can't hear the phone ring when it's in my pocket (wasn't the case before). When i try to play the ring tone (it's a wave file by the way) using the media player the volume is normal and very loud, the same applies to when i play it from the settings->sounds&notifications the volume on the ring tone is perfect, but when i receive a phone call the ringer volume is cut down by more than half, i checked the ringer volume and it's set to the max, I also did a hard reset then restored my files using the sprint backup but the problem didn't get fixed, I tried using a different ring tones and the same happens. any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are three volume controls: System, Ring and In call Volume.
Have you checked the System Volume?
If you press up on the hard volume key, you'll see arrow on the top right to switch to the next vol control. Check there.
HTH

ringtone problem
yea all 3 volumes are set to the max level

ringtone volume problem
the phone has the original stock rom from rogers (canada) hope this helps in any way

Have you got any profile managers installed (G-profile, Phoneweaver etc)?

ringtone volume problem
no i dont have a profile managers installed... so i just noticed that when the phone start ringing and i dont pick up, a second before the phone stops ringing the volume of the ringtone increases to the normal level (then stops ringing), the increase of the ringtone volume happens for like a split second after the caller hangs up and the phone stops ringing. hope this helps in any way. Thank you

Sounds like you have a Ringtone delay problem, there are a couple of solutions.
1. Disable HTC dialer (and use the Winmo one instead), can be done using Advanced Configurator 3.3.
2. Try the CAB I've attached, remember to only use WAV as ringtone though.
I would also recommend adjusting Call Forwarding timing to 30seconds. Settings/Phone/Services/Call Forwarding and get settings.
Disabling the HTC dialer is probably going to be the best solution as the HTC dialer is a hungry resource eating monster but I would just try the CAB and adjusting Call Forwarding time. There are some other REG setting as well but I never found them useful.

[Q] Soft then Loud volume juimp in ringtones

I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!

You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.

This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!

Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.

I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.

Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.

Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...

I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.

Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!
