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?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
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,

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?
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?
Hi,
I've tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer to my problem - and that is, whenever i receive an email (i've setup my gmail account), and the phone is on standby mode, the phone fails to wake up to notify me (and only does so once i turn the phone back on). So is there any way for my gmail emails to get pushed into my inbox, rather than having to refresh? There is no issue with the similar SMS problem, though.
Any recommendations guys? Any help would be great!
Same here...
Would really like to see the solution!
what rom are you using with this issue?
My Diamond has hardly ever notified me of new retrieved pulled emails till I wake it up and see it connected, it works one in whilte.
The rom...
Standard UK Orange rom for me...
Standard O2 ROM for me (1.93)
anyone...?
have you set your alerts in sounds->advanced? maybe try to add vibrate as well as alert.
emails are stored server-side and not sent to your phone. You get them by asking the server. Since wifi and applications are disabled during sleep mode, no, this won't work.
It is however possible if you pay for a push-mail provider. But regular pop/smtp won't do the trick. (or a cooked rom which is capable of reactivating wifi while on sleep and triggering the server once in a while (I doubt anyone could do this, it is actually possible, but probably not due to the hardware restrictions we have), but hey, this would cost you a lot of money, even if you don't receive any mails).
edit: after a little search, there is apparently some free mail provider that seem to provide free push-mail, including hotmail. Search free push mail on google.
Using Advanced Config 3.2 you can enable Wi-Fi while in Standby mode....
you need to reg edit the following two items:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
by default they are set to 1 on my dimond. i think 1 represents the time an app is allowed to try to start during sleep. one for when on battery and one for when on charger. i changed mine to 15 and now i get evey email notification even while the phone is sleeping. give it a try and let me know your results.
This would drain the battery like hell

i have done this on my phone and it has had no noticeable effect on battery life. my touch had these reg edits set at 15 from stock. i guess i should point out i am using the CDMA version of these phones.
O2 forwards all my Emails to my Diamond via MMS.
Most of the time it did NOT receive those MMS until i woke it up from standby (pushing the button on top to turn on the display). Then a load of MMS came to my inbox.
So i set both values on my Diamond to 15 and it looks like it helped this problem.
NOW the MMSs come in even with Diamond in standby (just like i was used to from my HTC Wizard).
And i can NOT see any big difference in battery life after one week of testing those values.
Hi Silence69
I agree with Blazeitup123 you should go to settings - all settings - personal - sounds & notificatios - notifications - event then & set a new email notification (alert).
I have a standard rom & have set my email to be checked every 30 minutes & notify me of new emails with an alert. Ok the screen does not light up but if I am not near it to hear the alert the phone will of gone back to 'standby mode' anyway.
Hope this helps.

Hello!
I can confirm the problem and solution. My mails are fetched from gmail by an umts connection. It takes about 12 seconds when I start a manual Send/Receive until the mails are fetched. If I set the values below 10 I never get my mails since the diamond suspends to early.
Also I have noticed that when the vales are to low I sometimes get just the flashing ring. Apparently it takes another 2-3 seconds to start the audible alert and vibration.
These timeout values are used to terminate background processing which for example is required for mail fetching. If your diamond does not fetch mails when suspended or does not give you an audible notification try to increase the values. Currently I use 20 seconds.
hope this helps
Any news ?
trying this tonight
This works perfectly and solved this issue on my device, thanks.
Just a thankyou to gmvmg/captspaulding1000 as this has solved the exact same problem!
Hi all.
I have discovered a problem with an X1.
When recieving a SMS, It will not display I have a new text message...or sms icon on the top title bar.
However, If I go into the messaging.. I will find.. that i have indeed had a new text.
sometimes.. i can check my phone front screen many times..and then only if i go into messaging, will i see the text has actually come ages ago..but no notifications on homescreen or titlebar...but once into messaging... it will show...in blue.. one new sms.
It the stock r3a rom..and no hardspl/anything else installed or on.
I have hard reset, and tried it with zero apps installed...however, it still does it.
Anyone else come across this issue? or more so.. a fix?
Same thing here
I also experienced the same problem. So, if i received a message, but i don't wake my phone, it wont give any sound or any notification. But if i wake it up, there will be a notification about it, although it was sent an hour ago.
Has anyone find the solution for this?
THx
I had a problem a while ago in which the the notifier in Xperia panel would say I have new messages but when I open the message-inbox there's nothing there. So I only recieved texts 10% of the time, very very annoying and I had T-Mobile send it back because it wouldn't work properly even after using SE update service.
Seems like nobody reading this post. LOL
Or nobody has the same problem...
Is everyone experiencing this problem using T-Mobile?
Maybe this is the issue?
Maybe some app you installed is causing the problem. My notifications are working fine and Voice Command even reads them. I have the new Christian WM6.5.

Stock Rom
nothing installed at all. It has just been to SE for repair on Keyboard sticking issue... keys would re-repeat..and have to really depress the space bar.
This is now resolved...but the SMS notification issue still exists.
I wondered if those others suffering also... had A T-Mobile sim.?
Mine is a Generic_UK device and was purchased outright for £500 from expansys...and has not been flashed in anyway except official upgrades. (work device... my personal device is flashed more times than i would care to admit.)
For what it's worth, my boyfriend has the same problem, and he's on AT&T.

Why is it we are having multiple problems with this issue... and no one really has ever addressed it?
Seems to be an issue that is fundamental to a phone nowadays..
I once had the problem that indeed the notification popped up but the message was not stored in the sms directory. Anyway, installing a new rilphone and radio solved that problem for me. Why don't you try different rilphones or radio if you did not already?
Sorry that I can't really help here...
Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few of the custom builds (Timor, AthineOS, CellPro Evo), and one problem I've noticed with each of the ones I've used is that when I get a text it doesn't notify until I wake the screen back up. Once I do that it vibrates and rings, but its up 30min after I got the text. Is this a known problem with a fix or am I better off sticking with a stock ROM?
Thank You
Funny you mention this, because I'm having the same problem. I thought it may have been a tweak I'd done and was going to do a hard reset today.
The only cab I've installed is Microsoft MyPhone. And had to edit the reg to allow the changing of the notification light timing in the Sounds & Notifications settings.
Do you know if this happens before you've made any changes to settings or installed any software on the phone? I don't recall having any problems like that myself with Timor installed, but I'm also not sure I received a text in that time. I haven't tried the other ROMs you listed.
It seemed to happen after I edited the reg settings.
Doesn't seem to be a constant occurance though. I happened to me 12 hours ago, even after a soft reset. But now I just sent a test message to myself, and all is ok... weird
Well I've regularly installed My Phone, Marketplace, Bing, Groovefish, and MP3 Trimmer, but I'd rather not delete and hard reset everything to do a test if someone knows a fix
I haven't had this issue...I am using the Valkrie Firestorm 5 and even when my phone is sleeping my phone vibrates as I get SMS messages and emails...
Well I have hard reset and held off installing using the My Phone. Everything seems well with recieving on time...but now the screen turns on everytime i get a message. It didn't used to do that and I find it quite annoying..I looked around my settings and Advanced Config and couldn't find anything.
It happens in the stock HTC rom too.
It normally doesn't happen if you come out of the text messages and go back to the home screen after you reply to someone. It's a really annoying bug
Me too...
I thought it was the result of all the hacking, tweaking and breaking I've been doing on this flash since I've been using it as a "scratch pad" but the problem you are all describing sounds identical.
I will also second the Home screen suggestion. Hit 'End' after you are done messing with the phone to go back to the Home screen. There is definitely a notification bug related to not alarming/vibrating when not on Home screen.
Though I have observed this issue, this does not completely explain my problems. Sometimes I don't actually even receive the SMS or MMS until the next day or after rebooting my phone! Most of the time it's fine though. I'm going to do a clean flash and see if that gets rid of that issue.
Same Here
I have run across the same problem with a number of the cooked ROMs. I never really noticed the problem with the stock ROM though. In my experience some of the cooked ROMs are having a problem handling the text messaging. I have over 3000 text msgs in my backup and as soon as I try to view an older text, the systems tend to lag and freeze up to the point that I need to soft-reset. Im using Athine right now and so far it has handled the text msging just fine without freeze or lag, but it also seems to have the same notification delay bug that the other ROMs have.

Yeah I'm familiar with that bug. But I go back to the home screen 99% of the time then shut the screen. I'll get a message and the LED will start blinking, but only when I turn the screen back on will it ring and vibrate.
Same problem here with the cell pro rom

I have the problem with almost all of the ROM. Does anyone know if it could be a result of not using the right radio?
I could be wrong.. but I don't think it has anything to do with the radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem is receiving the message from the carrier, it's more-so the OS not notifying. This has only happened to me since trying the new WM 6.5.5 builds with Sense 2.5. Previous to these builds I have never had any issues, and only used EnergyROM with a COM2 build, and Sense 2.1

Im not sure about all the technical stuff your talking about...I just know that on almost every ROM I flash, when the phone goes to sleep, they seem to not do anything. Its only when I wake it up do I receive text messages, notifications and the weather doesnt update on its own in the prescribed time its supposed to according to the settings I have selected.
The radio version may affect the quality of your reception. So if you have no reception then that will obviously delay texts getting through, and stop you being able to get to the weather servers. But I can't see why it should have anything to do with delayed notification of texts that are already on your phone.
I realise this might not help you much, but on my EnergyROM (see my signature for full details), my phone gets texts fine when it's asleep.
The weather isn't designed to get automatically updated when your phone is asleep though. There was a recent thread on how to change the registry to make it do so, if you haven't done that then your weather stuff may well be acting correctly.
