Too much SMS vibrate - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is there anyway to make it vibrate for a shorter time when a text arrives?. At the moment the vibration makes as much noise and disturbance as having the ring tone on- not so good when you are trying to be discreet.

I hate to bump such an old message but does anyone have a solution for this? I did a search and can find only options for Ring vibrate changes... the SMS vibrate I have on this ROM is long and annoying. Before, I had just 3 short bursts.... Honestly, I would like just 1 short one!

If you go to start, settings, sounds and notifications, you can configure some things, but not set 3 vibrations to one, but you can set the vibration off

You may as well put it on silent then?
what you need is a registry change. Which one though is a question I can't answer.

I have the 1.3 NmLs rom, and set on vribation, i only get one vibration, for a few seconds.

I was also wondering if someone could point me to the registry change for sms vibrations. On Dutty's older roms, I had 3 short bursts.... on his version 4 ROM, its a longer single one. I really would like a short discreet one....
I am sure there must be a way. Heck you can even control the haptic feedback on some keyboards like finger keyboard 2.1.... Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I have a solution but there's a catch. It's only a workaround and only allows *.wav files as ringtones.
You can configure your own virbation sequence. It's not user friendly though
after installation you will have some new files under /mydocuments
among those are
v100.vibrp files. These are scripts containing the *.wav file for the sound, and the ringing sequence
You can then select those virb files as if they were normal ringtones in your sound settings
you can alter the ringing sequence to whatever you like - it requires some trial and error. You can alter the wav files as well.
I can upload a file which results in 3 short vibrations if you can't manage to configure it.

Is there seriously no easy registry fix for this? In my current rom the vibration is for like 1234312 seconds and it really annoys me and the rest of the world.

there is none, but my above fix works just fine

pulsing vibration ringtone

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to make the vibration go pulsing and not to go constantly? The only way I found was to play with the registry, but I would like to know if there is not a program or utility for this.
how do you change the registry to make it "pulsate" I really want that too

it is in #5, but I would be happier if there is an easier way to do that

Is There Something Better For Notifications? (Stock Stinks!!)

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

Getting rid of the Voicemail notification and ring

So any ROM I run that isn't sense, like CM6 or DS 2.8, I get this terrible, annoying, loud ringtone every time the phone starts. It thinks I have three unread voicemails (I have none) and constantly bugs me about it.
It's starting to drive me nuts, and I'm considering going back to Sense rom because they do not have this issue. I just want the notification to go away, but there is no option for it anywhere in the call/voicemail settings.
I need this to end before I chuck my phone out a window.
Default notification sound, change it lol.
Also turn off SD card notifications, that's the one that really pesters me...
Doesn't do it. This is a ringer separate of my notification sound. Trust me, I get other notifications; I would change it to a sound of my liking if I could. I basically ransacked the options menu, this "feature" isn't listed anywhere.
Any luck?
I know this is a bit outdated, but did you ever find a solution to your problem?
I have a rooted Samsung Fascinate and whenever I get a new voicemail I get this constant ringing until I check it. It's not the same sound as the normal ringtone or notifications. I can't find any settings anywhere that can adjust it.
So far you're the only one I found with the same issue.

Vibration

Is there any software that i configure a vibration time in my incoming calls?
mine is vibrating full time. when the xperia start the ringtone the vibration do not pause or stop till i answer the call
can someone help or suggest something?
In Sounds & Notifications you have the possibility to choose between ring only, vibrate only, ring and vibrate (it seems like you have chosen this setting) and the alternative of starting with vibration and ringing afterwards.
If this is not enough for you there is the possibility to adapt the sequence of the incoming call notification either in the registry (I don't know the keys though) or by using tweaking software such as SK Tools.
Thanks

New to Tasker - can it do this?

I am new to Tasker -- and before I start spending loads of time learning the language, I need to know if it can do the one thing I need most urgently.
My brand new Samsung S23 Ultra has one bad feature - vibration that is so soft I can't feel it. What I am looking to do is, essentially, switch between two sound profiles without having to go into settings and change a bunch of settings one by one. Setting one would be the normal sounds -- an MP3 ringtone and rather standard sounds. Setting 2 would change the "ringtone" to a sound that resembles a vibration, as well as changing the notification sounds (e.g. incoming text messages) to the same thing, and lowering the volume of the ringtone and notifications. That way, the phone will sound like a good old vibration, and thus sound like it was silenced (but I will hear the fake vibration and know I have incoming).
Can Tasker do this, and create buttons or the like to enable each sound profile?
Many thanks!
