Kaiser won't wake up to check email - why?

I've got mine to check email at regular intervals - but it won't wake up from standby to check mail. Does yours?
I did do something rash, I fear - used scarybears check notifications to clear all but 4 notifications, at which point activesync didn't recognize the device. I fixed that by adding a new notification (memmaid) but I wonder if screwing with the notifications has messed other things up. Any thoughts?

Frankyg

yes it is since yours is the only one messed up lol.. Guess leson learned huh

OK I tested this and my phone just retrieves all the mail, I send myelf several emals to several accounts and most of my intervals are set to 60 min and it gets retrieved (in standby mode).

I also have the same problem. Tried hard resetting but still no email check in standby mode. I have not installed any custom software in the device.
Any help would be much appreciated.
BTW: Also can it be the device?

Finally isolated the problem - fix?
Using ATT and if I have the band selection on AUTO and if the phone changes from 3G to EDGE back and forth the automatic email checking suddenly stops. But if I leave it on one band the email checking works flawlessly. I would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on this matter.

I just noticed yesterday that my email was also not coming in until after I took the phone off sleep.

So I am not alone on this.
I experience the exact thing. Moment I take it off standby mode it says connecting .... and so on.
I am trying everything under the sun will update if I get lucky. Although exchange mail gets delivered no matter what.

So what'd you do to fix this? According to your modaco posting, you found the solution. Was it the hard reset?

I have only had my TyTN II for 10 days and now I'm getting this problem!
I am also trying to find a solution.
So far, I have uninstalled SBP Phone Suite, as their support forum talks about it messing up the Notification Queue - i.e. blocking new notifications. THis hasn't made any noticeable difference though.
I am left with the three installs that were supplied with the device - TTN6, GPRS Monitor (SPB software branded by HTC) and Sprite Backup....surely, if these are bundled with the device they shouldn't cause any disturbances?
Anyway....considering a Hard Reset unless anyone makes any breakthroughs....

Does this make sense?
I have my scheduled email check set at 15 minutes:
If I have new mail: it doesn't notify me, and seems to get stuck waiting to download the emails. Result: when I power-up it then starts downloading the emails and shortly notifies me of their arrival
If I have no new mail: it does notify me that I still have x number of unread emails in my inbox.
My only conclusion so far is that if it detects new emails on the server it cannot download them until you pull it out of sleep. Else it just checks as per the schedule and will notify you that you still have unread (previously downloaded) mail.

Kavi, please can you confirm if you "solved" the problem by fixing your band selection to EDGE? Obviously, this isn't an ideal workaround (when we've all spent a lot of dough on this device), but may help us narrow down the issue somewhat.

Still working on this issue. Figured out what the problem is but still no solution.
The sleep mode is termed as "Turn off device if not used..." in the power settings.
It receives calls fine AND wakes the phone while in this mode.
I configured my WLAN on the phone. When woken from sleep mode, I noticed that it was disconnected from the WLAN and connected to EDGE. The "E" would appear and then it'd change to show that it was re-connecting to the WLAN.
I found it strange that 1. It switched off the WLAN and onto EDGE during sleep and 2. It could not receive emails while on EDGE.
I turned the sleep mode off and once the backlight dimmed to indicate sleeping I shot myself a test email. Received no problem.
I turned the sleep mode off AND the disconnected from WLAN. No email.
So, for some reason, while on EDGE or, in my case, the AT&T data network, no email is coming thru.
Could it be something not properly configured for the data network or is there something on the phone that needs to be changed? *SHRUG* My investigation continues...

Finally found the solution but it could be valid only for my device. (finally I could get some sleep now ;-)
If I press the power button and put it into standby mode no emails at all. If I let it go into standby mode automatically then no problems at all.
I tested so many different settings but this is the only solution I found to work and the device has been checking mail every 10 minutes for the past 30 hours with no issues at all.
Give it a shot might work for you too.

Is this issue only related to POP email? Or is this occuring for Exchange Push as well?

First I thought exchange worked but in my case if I put it into standby mode even exchange push will not work.
But if I let it go to sleep automatically everything works fine.

Hi. some observations.
1) In my device Direct push works correctly when I turn off the device using the button.
2) Sometimes System Notifications (Stored on System queue) doesnt work correctly until I turn on the device.
3) Some programs that should react upon Radio events like CommMgrPro that should awake when GSM Cell changes arent notified by Windows until I turn on the device. It seems some events cant raise power mode from suspended to idle. It works correctly on TyNT and Athena.

Hmmm.. Exchange works for me when the device is asleep... I even have the phone set to vibrate when mail come in.
I have not yet set up a pop account though.. I'll give it a shot.

I'm working with POP3.
Getting closer to the resolution.
It was, in fact, that my data services connection was incorrectly configured for AT&T. The access point was set to "isp.cingular" instead of "wap.cingular". Username was also incorrect. Once I reset that, I was connected fine.
My problem now is that the connection is intermittent. If it sleeps, it's as if it loses connectivity. This is an auto-sleep sleep.
I also noticed that the read emails get tossed out as the new email arrives...hmmm...another issue.

ATT TILT Vibration Motor Wont Stop

Hello, I've recently set up ActiveSync for 15 minute intervals during peak time. I set "Vibrate" for New E-Mail Messages. Usually it vibrates for a few short bursts, but at least once per day the vibration motor freezes up and won't stop vibrating until I press the power button. The only other recent change to my settings was that I installed Bandswitch to keep connected to the Edge network and disconnect after 120 seconds. I don't know if this change is related to the vibration problem. Anybody have any suggestions?

if you have Magic Fingers installed, you might try uninstalling it

thanks for the advice, but I don't have Magic Fingers installed

hey. weird cause i used to have the same issue before, my phone whenever it received an email it would not stop vibrating until i removed the battery. lol weird i know. r u using the stock rom? ever since i changed rom's from stock i havent had that problem before.
try flashing ur rom to an upgraded att or htc rom, maybe it would solve ur issue as it did to me
best of luck

I have the exact same issue with incoming emails. For now I have turned off notification. Configuration is pretty generic.

This happened to me...
This happened to me once with the stock ROM. I have since upgraded to the leaked AT&T Tilt ROM and it hasn't happened since.

Any Hints?

I also have this problem, but its not with every e-mail. I receive between 10 and 20 e-mails a day and the continuous motor only happens about once every other day. I'm also on the stock ATT ROM. Anyone figure out what's going on with this?

this issue is a bummer

oh yeah this is becoming a real pita

Me too...
Using Blackberry connect on stock ROM on Tilt, new messages occassionally cause a constant vibration until I hit the power button.
Would love to know how to stop this,
ncdave

In my experience I have found that this is caused by the device being forced to do something, i.e. check email, recieve email, before the device is fully "awake". The solution for me was acheived through the use of kaiser tweak. This also means there's a registry mod. for it as well, unfortunately I left my Kaiser at home today. If ylou change the device wake up to something more acceptable such as 15 seconds or 30 seconds instead of the 1 second default you may find this fixes your problem as it has for me!

If you did that, wouldn't you stand the chance of missing most of your phone calls while the phone is sleeping?

Backlight comes on with any incomming text message or email message

Hi I am running Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2 ROM.
And everytime I get an incomming text message or e-mail the backlight comes on.
This happens even after you put it into standby and none of the other buttons will wake it only the power button.

i think that is by default and if u want the phone to wake by pressing any key than u have to make that change under settings.

It should not do that, the last ROM I used did not have that issue. It may not be the ROM I would like to know if anyone else has this problem.

Hi everyone..is there really no way to disable the screen turning on when a text or e-mail comes in. When using a WM6.1 ROM, I have tried different ROMs and they all the doing the same. It seems this should be something that can be configured.
Any input from the experts...if not I will go back to WM 6.0

I didn't have it happen with L26 v4 ROM - it does with Dutty's and it does with Death v3. I have heard from others in those threads who say that it does not happen to them. Some have said that the BBCONNECT program 4.0.0.92 is the solution - I have not bothered to search for or try yet. For me , right now, the common thread seems to be AT&T based ROMs

Arghhhhh....I hate to step back into the dark ages but that issue really bugs me. Knowing that my phone is in my case and everytime and e-mail comes in the screen turns on for 10sec....that accounts for the my short battery life.....And I only want to run the ROM's from Dutty he does really great work....wish I knew half of what he does. I might be able to fix it myself...That then brings the question why certain ROM's an not others...
I will leave that question to the experts.

I think it does this because it is putting an alert notification on the screen... I disabled those on mine and they still seem to come on the screen!!
It's so annoying to have to deal with your emails and at the same time have to dismiss countless notifications!!!

Same annoying problem here.
WM 6.1, and every setting in 'sounds & notifications' fails to show results.
Whether I disable or enable the tone, the showing of a message, or the vibration.. no dice: it keeps waking up from standby mode.

i remember some else asking this question as welll... and i think someone was talking about changing something in the the registry, but i am also interested in this. it would come in handy when i have to put my phone in standby for a long time.

bump
I too have this same issue. I've had my new ROM for several months and love it, but I would like to know how to stop the backlight from turning on everytime an email is received.
It never used to do this, however I am pretty sure the backlight always came on for new text messages.
I can deal with the text messages. However, I run blackberry connect for my work email. Having the backlight come on for each email obviously kills the battery life.
I know if can be disabled as it was before. The question is how? Is there a registry setting?

Some Diamond issues/questions

Hello all,
It's great to have found this forum, I was getting a bit desperate from the lack of customer support on the HTC website...
I stumbled into some issues with my HTC Touch Diamond, and I hope some of you will know the answer to some of them
Let me number them for convenience in replying:
1) Battery charging while the phone is off results in the battery status only going up till about 80% in a few hours, and then staying there. No matter how long I charge my phone, it doesn't go higher than 80%. After a reset, the battery does indicate 100%. How can I fix this without having to reset every time after a charge? Why doesn't the phone "see" the battery is full while it's on? How long should it normally take to charge to 100%?
2) Old SMS messages that I transfered from my SIM card don't show up with the sender's name, but show the sender's number instead. This happens in the Touchflo 3D messages overview, but also in the "all messages" section. New messages from the same sender do show up well. How can I make the old messages also display the senders name?
3) Can I disable threaded SMS messages if I want to somehow?
4) Can I disable the "you are roaming" warning in the weather section? The network I use is *always* in "roaming mode", because my provider uses another provider's network. This cannot be fixed by using a different SIM card. Can I turn off these warnings? They are quite annoying.
5) Another thing that bugged me, is that the screen went off so quickly while in a call. FIXED WITH: \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
6) There are some "music" files (ring, beep, bt_beep, callend) which show up in my music overview. Why? Where are they? I can't find them, but I want to get rid of them...
7) No snooze function for the alarm.....? Such a basic function, why doesn't this exist? Is it possible to "get" it somehow (while still keeping the alarm option in the Home/Today screen)?
8) When in threaded SMS messaging, it is impossible to select a message. When you click it, the sender screen opens, and only after canceling that screen, you end up with the message being selected. Only then you can delete it. Is it possible to just select the message without opening the sender screen?
9) Manage folders for SMS/MMS is greyed out. Why?
10) Birthday's from contacts don't show up on the "today" screen/calendar?
That's it for now, I already installed the advanced config tool, which of course adds great flexibility!
Thanks in advance for any replies!

see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372263
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g=0
and I also want to add my problem, when I use headphone to listen music, it will have a sound drop every 3-4 mins, but no problem when using BT handsfree or the internal speaker, any idea?

6) You've included the ring tones in your WMP library I think.
7) Yes you can snooze. When your alarm goes off, get the notification to the foreground and there'll be menu options to snooze.
8) Use the Up/Down hardware keys. (Default cursor position when you're in threaded mode is a new message in a text input box, but if you press the Up hardware key, it'll go to the last sent/received message in the thread).

Thanks!
About 6) though, I don't think it's the ringtones. There are many more ringtones on the phone than just these 4 files. Also, they don't appear in the ringtone selection screen. Any idea how i can search the phone to find those files? Windows (XP) search doesn't really want to search in my mobile device..
About 7) Ok, didn't see that. When I just wake up, I am too sleepy to think. Can't the snooze functionality be mapped standard to some button or another?

Hello,
It seems to me I keep seeing my identical twin right before my very eyes. Almost every complaint or everything that people are saying or having about this phone is a direct page out of my own book. All the problems and lack of support and no fix for any of this. My question is there even a fix to any of this so far I have found none. According to HTC just to do a hard factory reset (which really will not fix anything, accept to restore it to factory settings and succeed in wiping anything not factory installed off your phone). I at my wits end this is a $700 + (piece of crap) phone and supposed to be a top of the line and it barely functions.
How come they do not have even a flicker of an indication that the phone is charging while it is off, Such as a light on the phone itself not the charger? Also, why doesn't the batter last longer all together, and have a much needed better battery life?
My SMS (text) message question is why should we have to go into the all message area/section to see the entire message? Why can we not just be able to scroll up in the main message screen to reveal the rest of the message if it is longer than the screen?
Screen turning off during calls
About the screeen going off during a call is a problem with the phone. Believe me you are not the only one with this problem. Besides myself I have heard many complaints. I have also heard that the fix that you have listed should take care of the problem. However, someone said they tried it and it did not work. As for me I am still trying to get someone to explain how to use it. I am not sure where I am supposed to go in order to or how to use it. Please if you can I would greatly appreaciate any help at all you can offer me on this.
ALARM
There is a snooze function in the alarm. It can be set to 5 min, 15 min and some other settings. I believe (and if I am correct) it comes up after the alarm goes off with the different snooze times offered and you then select the one you would like. Hope this helps.
What I find annoying rather than too serious is that if you go back into a section where there is input the keboard will return to where you left it (like the number pad, rather than the initial main keyboard) instead of returning to the main keyboard.
I have these plus more issues with the phone.
One of my current and quite aggravating problems is that all settings do not remain as they have been changed to. Enevitabely they undoubtedly revert back to whatever their default settings were. For example the backligt while on battery setting. I keep changing it from its default of 10 sec to 2 min and it eventually at some random unknown point will automatically revert back to is default setting. Another one that does this is the calander I set it to open in month view however even though it keeps showing it is set to open at month view it never does.
Also I don't know about you. However, the phone is often sluggish, slow, and freezing up. While it is sluggish if I want to navigate somewhere I have to navigate in the opposite direction you normally navigate to get where you are trying to go.
3G does not work in the US. Which means Video calling will and does not work (on non US vers).
finding and downloading apps for the phone is difficult. I usually get messges saying the program is not a pocket pc enabled program (or something along those lines) and will not work.
when trying to view photos in the file explorer (because naturally that is the only place you can beam them from and not the main photo album screen) they are supposed to show up as icons so you can see which is which and send the ones you want, they always do not.
The Voice commander program takes forever to work if it even bothers to work at all (it almost never recognizes the command you are saying).
Scrolling/touch flow presents somewhat of a problem to me. Often it does not do what I am trying to do (such as scroll or navigate) instead it will be as act as if I have clicked on or selected an item/program/ contact or whatever instead of another function such as scrolling. For example if I am scrolling, and need to stop it the only way I know how is to lightly tap the screen. However, this not always but often or usually results in an item being activated as though it had been clicked on (such as a phone call being initated). That I find a bit comical or ironic because often I have difficulty making or placing a call when I am trying to.
These next few items are just personal notes or observations rather than problems. However, battery life is awful, and what in the world possessed them (HTC) not to have an external memory card slot? Whatever gave them the idea that 4GB is anywhere near even close to enough storage, pics, music, games, video. . . .NO WAY! Also, in my opinion the scroll menue bar on the bottom of the screen is too close toe the man screen above it. So, inevetibly if I am trying to scroll or navigate something in onre of the menues such as pics, music, or different cities weather I usually end up hitting the scroll menue bare and it navigates me away from what I am doing (which is typical with the touch flow feature, it usually gives me difficulty). In my opinion they just should have not had any of the jard buttons on the phone made the screen larger (the complete size/length of the phone) and had all of buttons/commands activated by/on the screen itself. Another annoying thing is that there is only one connection to the phone. So, if you want to listen to music via the headset witch undoubtedly suck the life out of the battery howe are u supposed to charge the phone?
Well, those are just SOME of my thoughts, problems, frustrations, complaints, advice, ect. . . There is pleanty more where they came from.
I would eternally be greateful if you or anyone else could offer anything at all regarding my problems with the phone or any other information, any developments, or anything at all in relation to the Diamond piece of crap.
Please feel free to let me know if I can return the favor and help you in anyway. I am happy to help. Good luck with your phone.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

what about a specific program like travel alarm. it's cheap and have very big buttons for the snooze. you don't have to look for options (5,10,15 min) you just preset the snooze and you keep pressing the "snooze" button till you''ll be late (happened to me)..hehehe

during the charging there is a very nice soft light going around (spinning) the action button. believe me, i am looking at it right now. maybe it's the htc trying to hypnotize it's happy customers...lol. when the charging is finished the light stop spinning

it's a step forward. before htc flow you had to go to messages and look for yr message. now you see the beginning of the message on the main screen (aha, that's the one!) and with a push of thumb (it better be not a big one) you go straight to yr important SMS. not bad, i think.

try sliding on the main screen you don't have to use the menu bar. you also can use the upper strip where the name of the menu is written.
as a conclusion and a friendly advice, be patient,try and get used to the new gadget. it's not so bad...i have my hopes in the rom that soon (i hope) we'll have from the pros that are doing it here just for fun. i was also taken by surprise in the first 24 hours. i did expected for this price to get a gadget that will make my coffee in the morning and voice guided me to the bathroom..lol! it isn't so. we had the courage (and the $) to buy the first batch. improvements are still to come.

Screen turning off during calls
this *feature* seems to be resolved see this post for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2304445&postcount=94

Dear Jennifer and others,
I am glad I am not alone. Yes, today I also discovered that after changing the 10 second backlight off on battery mode to 30 seconds, it jumps back automagically to 10 seconds. This happens without the option "auto adjust" being turned on.
This is extremely frustrating to say the least... Especially when in a light environment, and you can't see the screen without the backlight.
I'm going to try the offered solution for the screen turning off during a call, because the original solution didn't work for me either, I discovered today.
The battery life is starting to get to me, with the phone going dead on me after one night (idle of course) + one day (maybe 1 min calling, some texting, some google maps) of use. This is ridiculous...
Anyone found a solution for one of the other issues mentioned?

I would also like to point out, that I think the setting "disable startup animation" in the advanced config tool does not seem to work for the diamond.
I set this, but it still shows the HTC animation. However, the sound is gone

Thank you for your help I really appreaciate it. However, unfortunately I have that setting unchecked and it is still continuning to do that. I just went in there to check and it was of course back to 10 sec. I don't know how to fix it. The odd thing though is that it only does it with the setting for turning off the backlight while running on battery not while plugged in. I am not sure why but it is extremely aggravating. I am begining to think I am going to try and exchange it for the Cruise. It sounds like a much better phone. Though, I am waiting to see about the Diamond US ver. I am not sure what to do. I want to try the sollution for the backlight while on a call problem. However, I am clueless about how to do it. Apparently from what I understand I need to get a program in order to make the changes and I am not exactly sure how to get the program and install it then how to do it once I have the program. I would love some help with that. Thanks again.

The way I did it is as follows:
1) install active sync / your mobile device on your pc/laptop, using the cd's that came with the phone.
2) download and use this software to enable RAPI: http://www.breaksoft.com/Download/MRE/EnableRAPI.zip
(read about it on http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Posts/2005/8/Mobile_Registry_Editor_FAQ.aspx)
3) download mobile registry editor: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
4) run it, browse to the settings as mentioned, double click them and change their values:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall set from 5 to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCa ll from 5 to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormandDisplayD uringCall from 1 to 0
(where HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
5) soft reset your phone and it should work...?
Good luck, let me know if it works.

What bugs me most is the following:
If i turn off the screen of my phone by pressing the on/off switch and i recieve a SMS the SMS-tone won't sound.
When i press the on/off button again to use my phone the tone will sound, butt i recieved the message half an hour ago :S.
The only way to avoid this is to lock the phone and not turn off the screen, which results in a stand-by time of only 8-10 hours (not sufficient for my use).
Are there any fixxes for this problem?

then i had my collegue send my an sms. i got an audibile message while my phone was in standby (screen - off)
if you enable wake up from sms, does it completely wake up your phone?

Ok, typical because i sometimes got a message, but 9 outta 10 times i didn't.
Changing the registry setting fixes my problem and completely awakes my phone. Exactly what i want.

Outstanding issues
Alright, so as for me, the following issues are still not resolved:
1) Battery charging while the phone is off results in the battery status only going up till about 80% in a few hours, and then staying there. No matter how long I charge my phone, it doesn't go higher than 80%. After a reset, the battery does indicate 100%. How can I fix this without having to reset every time after a charge? Why doesn't the phone "see" the battery is full while it's on? How long should it normally take to charge to 100%?
2) Old SMS messages that I transfered from my SIM card don't show up with the sender's name, but show the sender's number instead. This happens in the Touchflo 3D messages overview, but also in the "all messages" section. New messages from the same sender do show up well. How can I make the old messages also display the senders name?
3) Can I disable the "you are roaming" warning in the weather section? The network I use is *always* in "roaming mode", because my provider uses another provider's network. This cannot be fixed by using a different SIM card. Can I turn off these warnings? They are quite annoying.
4) There are some "music" files (ring, beep, bt_beep, callend) which show up in my music overview. Why? Where are they? I can't find them, but I want to get rid of them... They are not the ringtones of the phone.
5) Manage folders for SMS/MMS is greyed out. Why?
6) Birthday's from contacts don't show up on the "today" screen/calendar?
7) after changing the 10 second backlight off on battery mode to 30 seconds, it jumps back automagically to 10 seconds. This happens without the option "auto adjust" being turned on.
8) The setting "disable startup animation" in the advanced config tool does not seem to work for the diamond. I set this, but it still shows the HTC animation. However, the sound accompanying the animation is gone.
If anyone has a solution to any of the above, I will be eternally grateful

I think alot of these niggles will be solved by a new rom update...now when HTC get their fingers out of their asses and provide the owners of the Diamond one is entirely another question.
Other than reg editing i dont think theres much you can do unless someone here develops a new better rom to solve alot of these issues you guys seem to be having.

How dangerous is it to "work" in the registry settings?

I dont really know to be honest as this is my very first foray into Windows Mobile...but if its anything like WinXp or Vista reg editing then i suppose if you start messing around with values...you might find that you no longer have a phone that works properly but as i said i really dont know what sort of damage you could do with the phone via reg editing/hacking etc.
Personally for me, when i get my Diamond ill only make the changes that have been proven to work ie the Diamond tweaking thread. Other than that i dont think ill be mucking around with the registry too much.

The problems above are not Diamond specific. They exists in all WM devices.
2) Once transfered to SIM card, the format of the phone number might changed (compared to the one in your contacts). This might be the cause of the problem.
4) These files are located in \Windows folder. Don't have Diamond, so don't know how to solve this problem for you. Normally most players I used so far has a way to exclude some folders.
5) You are not able to create any folders for SMS/MMS. That is why it is greyed out. This is always true since I use WM2003SE to WM6.1
6) If you create contacts using any WM devices, the Birthday appointment is not automatically created. If you sync your contacts to your PC (with Outlook installed), Outlook will created the appointments for you and they will be copied over to your device. Or, if you installed 3rd party PIM (ex, Pocket Informant), normally 3rd party PIM will automatically created the birthday appointments for you.

KaiserNotification v2.02

Found a new version on Modaco...don't know whether anyone noticed:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=2400
Kaiser Notifications (for HTC Tytn II*)
Version 2.02
* This should also work on the HTC Touch Cruise, please let me know if you try it and it works okay. Works with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the .NET compact frame 2.0 or 3.5.
Version 2.02 - Fixes an error relating to date time parsing when using certain cooked ROMs. If you do not have this problem no need to upgrade.
Whats new in version 2.0?
Audio and vibrate reminder alerts for new items
Version 2 now allows you to add audio and vibrate reminder alerts for unread items. Most mobile phones do this and I started to miss this on the Kaiser. Mobile phones will intermitently beep/vibrate if you have new items but haven't seen them, whereas Windows Mobile generally sounds once when the item arrives but gives no additional sounds after that and leaves it to a flashing LED to get your attention. With this version your Kaiser will play a wav file of your choice and/or vibrate every so many minutes for new items.
To avoid battery drain and annoying those around you in your absence, the phone will increase the time span between reminders, the default is: Item arrives, phone alerts as normal. If after 5 minutes you haven't read the message, it will play the selected wav file and/or vibrate. If the message still goes unread it will then alert again after waiting for 10 minutes, then it will alert after a wait of 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, all the way up to 60 minutes, where it will then alert every hour. These settings are configurable.
Off schedule
You can now set a period where the Kaiser Notification program should not interupt you, typically this would be used for overnight. LEDs stop flashing, and no alerts are played for unread items. You can also select to turn the mobile phone off during this period which is great for saving battery power and knowing you are not going to be woken by a ringing phone.
What's fixed?
When roaming onto networks the LED will now flash normally.
What's still broken?
I've had no joy finding out how to flash the LED amber. You may still select amber as an option, however it will flash green. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this soon.
As per a few requests I have not been able to adjust the flash rates for the LED, or have them light static while charging.
Installation Instructions
The program must be installed on 'Device' to work, it currently does not work if installed on storage card.
1) Copy the cab file to the device and run it. Install to device and not a storage card. If you have the first version it will be removed automatically.
2) From Programs click the new icon for 'Kaiser Notfication Setup'.
3) On first running the setup program the LEDs will automatically be set to the pre-defined defaults, change as required. Set up a schedule and reminder alerts as required.
A link is placed in the Windows/Startup folder during install that will ensure the tiny program that controls the LEDs is loaded automatically when the Kaiser is soft reset or turned off and back on.
Uninstalling
Use Remove Programs to uninstall. After uninstall a soft reset is necessary to get the LEDs flashing as per the original HTC settings.
Other Information
Once this program is installed the LED will not light steady during a charge. This functionality will of course be restored after uninstalling.
Wi-Fi isn't indicated with this program as the device needs to be on to have Wi-Fi enabled anyway so you can see the connectoin status on the display.
Scheduling Mobile Phone to Turn On
(Update: On Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs with Radio version 1.64.08.21 this is no longer an issue) If you set a schedule and select to turn the mobile phone on at the end of the scheduled period, please note the Kaiser will come fully on before timing out and going back to standby. This behaviour I can not change and is triggered by the radio chip. Please be careful if using this as option as when the phone turns on it could be subject to accidental button presses, and of course I can not be responsible for any charges you may incur if the phone accidently dials out.
alert/vibrate reminders
The alert/vibrate reminder is silenced as soon as you read one or more unread items. You do not need to read all unread items to silence the alert/vibrate reminder. The idea of the reminder is to get you back to look at your phone for new items that have arrived but you have missed, once you read a single item the reminders are cancelled as it has done it's job of getting your attention. Should any new items arrive afterwards, the alerts will start again.
Sound files
You may select any wav file for the alert sound. Only wav files that are in the Windows folder are supported. You may of course add a wav to the Windows folder to use your own sound.
Any problems let me know in the support forum. Enjoy.

I've had it forever, and I'm using 2.02.
I was hoping this was a new version, KN doesn't work 100% with WM 6.1.

Hmmm... I couldn't find it on the forum and therefore posted it (knowing it was dated march 2008). I've used the 1.0 version up to now, did you try it with that version because I have no issues with it on any ROM I tried (and I try them all, almost ROM update weekly).
Regards,

This version is there from 3.5.2008. I am still waiting that he will resolve some issues about the led flashing.

No, I'll try to find the older version. This one basically works, but I think I *only* get one LED notification after that.. It's very odd.. if I have SMS set to Blue and Email set to Green, and I get an email first, I'll get a green blink. After that I'll only get a green blink. After a soft reset, if I get an SMS first, I'll get blue blinks after..
Never any left blinks, such as missed call etc..
But at least it doesn't blink forever like nueLED did, and it'll uninstall without leaving junk all over. Also it doesn't blink incessantly and still works with TomTom, so I continue to use it... but I'll try v1.0

@ Mikulec
Which blinking issue do you mean exactly?
When your Leds wont stop blinking after receiving a new SMS/MMS just try these.
Go into your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/State/Messages
There are Folders named SMS and MMS, in these Folder is another Folder called unread.
There is a key called Count, set it to zero in both folders and the leds will stop endless blinking.
Cheers

Damn,
I read your post 2 or 3 days ago, thought I'll give a try cause I was searching for such an app (switching off sounds for specific time periods, i.e. in the morning to use SpoonAlarm, which uses a "notification" before activating, sort of iritating when still sleepy ).
Then I forgot and needed 30 minutes of intensive forum search to put my hands on it . I try it now, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: damn the led system isn't handling amber at all, not even when the phone is charging, that's lame :-/. And you can't do w/o it seems. I wanted this "scheduled switch off notification" .

i will keep my post short
"KaiserNotifications is must to have in Kaiser"

I have a Tilt and I don't know if my phone is the problem or what? but I cannot select "blue" for Bluetooth or "red" for unread SMS. I know there's an issue with the amber light, but my phone is only blinking green and nothing else, no matter what changes do I make. Is this software 100% compatible with the AT&T Tilt?

Thank you, brother. it is useful

TU...
But after 1 month using I instal nueLED and for me it's the best software..

i can't see amber color any more
I Installed KaiserNotification v2.02 but i can't see the amber color any more, i can see it only when it charges and before entering windows.
Is there any solution in registry?
Thx in advanded

nice prog nikagl! Great Work!
