is there any way to change the way the tilt notifies you of a incoming text message? atm no matter if my phone is set to vibrate or ring mode, anytime i get a text message, it vibrates, i would rather set it to a ringtone or a shorter vibrate

take a gander at "Sounds & Notifications" somewhere under Settings. once you open the Sounds & Notifications configurator, go to the "Notifications" tab and pick "Messaging: New text message" from the Event combo box and configure away!

Hello,
Does anyone know if the popup that shows up whenever you receive a text message can be made larger?
There's an option in sounds and notifications to enable certain things whenever a SMS arrives:
1./ Play sound
2./ Display message on screen
3./ Flash light for... 15 minutes
4./ Vibrate"
Option 2 "display message on screen" is very nice but unfortuantely, the amount of text that it displsays within the popup balloon/bubble is very limited. For example, if you receive a text that is perhaps over 100 chars, the end will be chopped off.
There is then no way to click the popup to display the rest of the SMS. You must cancel the popup and then go into your messages manually in order to see what the rest of the message said.
Perhaps there's a registry setting controlling the amount of text that is allowed in the bubble?
Any other tweaks for it?
Thanks,
Is there a way to make the phone vibrate once instead of 3 times when an sms message is received?
Can anyone help with turning it off from SMS's ? I have a cooked rom with Voice Commander so I don't want it vibrating too. I have my Ring Type set to Ring although I sure someone will say that the ringer settings have nothing to do with SMS's

I think it's set to that considering that if a phone call is received it'll vibrate once and for a long time. Which to me, is useful to distinguish a call from a text.
I know of no software that could modify though...
It's OK, I found the option box in the Sounds and Notifications settings to have vibrate on or off for the New Text Notification
C
is it possible to set the vibrator mode and a different ringtone for the sms?
Yes.
Start > Settings > Sound and Notifications. Click the Notifications Tab.
Event you want to change and you can select the sound, screen notification, light and vibrate.
hey thanks...i didnt know it was there....
Does anyone know if there is a reistry tweak for the number of times it vibrates when recieving a text? Once would be enough!
I noticed that my phone will wake up when I get a text message, but when I get an e-mail it does not. In both cases, the sound notification occurs, but I was wondering if there was a way to get it to consistently do one or the other. i.e., get the phone to wake up for both e-mails and text messages, or, only have the sound go off for both and have the display stay off.
Thanks in advance!

Check out the sounds a notifications. There are many options to play around with in there. I'm sure your answer lies within.
Get there by going to
Stat > Settings > Sounds & Notifications.
My ATT tilt does the same thing. In SETTINGS > SOUNDS AND NOTIFICATIONS, all settings are the same for the two items.
If my phone is asleep, it will wake up, show the message notification and play the sound for a text.
But for an email, it dosent wake up, but it does play the sound.
Let me look in the registery real quick and see what it shows.....
this is how it is..
emails do not wake the phone.. been like this on the 81/85 and now the 89
Can the notification bubble be disabled?
Its absurd that in the sounds and notifications, I uncheck all notifications from all events and still get the "Dismiss" button for a notification of a missed call or voicemail or email or mms.
I really dont need to see new email counter increment, plus notification/dismiss bubble at the bottom of the screen and finally the envelope icon at the top. Im not that dense.

You need to uncheck "show message on screen" from the connection established event under sounds and notifications.
no that just dosnt allow the message to pop up on the notification. i dont believe there is anyway to disable the icon that pops up in the top.
but what you can do is disable the message that pops up

The instructions I posted prevent the notification bubble from popping up, which is exactly what the OP was trying to accomplish.
no i think he means the icon that pops up on the top not the message that comes up when ever something happend...
at least thats what i think he means...
Which one
I dont mind the envelope on top, what I do mind is when I have the keypad locked and it take 4-10 button presses to get the normal soft key navigation back.
Example:
Missed call, new email, new mms, new voicemail. Each has a seperate "notification" that has to be viewed and dismissed in 2 keystrokes.
So for example, on a missed call only:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
As you can see, it takes 5 buttons to get my left softkey back to normal and get rid of the notification bubble. The handset icon with the ! on it is sufficient to indicate the missed call.
Now, how about a missed call, which of course causes a new voicemail:
1) Turn display back on
2) Unlock (left softkey)
3) Unlock touch right mid screen (or *)
4) click softkey notification (left softkey)
5) click dismiss softkey (right softkey)
6) click softkey new message
7) click softkey dismiss
Now add new voicemail, missed call, new email, new text message and you can see it takes a ton of annoying keypresses to get rid of the bubble notifications and return the softkeys to normal where I expect them to be whenever I need to use my phone.
I have everything unchecked in the sound/notify section so that doesnt help.
If I dont use Today but instead, a Today replacement, does that go away?
Thanks
take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1843894
goto HKCU\control panel\notifications\
and change whatever you want to not show up to 0 or 1 in the options. What i do is set everything to 0 and i used to have a 1 ring lag due to that stupid bubble but as a disclaimer i use S2U2 to Handel the phone calls and phone alarm to Handel notifications so i am able to turn all this stuff off and still have the notifications i ask for.
No Luck on that thread
No luck on that thread. I still get the missed call changing the softkey to Notification and then a bubble, then dismiss.
I tried setting all the "Options" in each key under notifications to zero. So far, I think they all went away except missed call.
I have also been looking for a solution to disable the left soft-key notification / notification bubble. It seems that anyone who receives a lot of calls, voicemail and e-mail on there phone would find this "feature" annoying. I've tried various phone alarm type applications and not had any luck.
You're idea of replacing the today screen sounds like a good idea.
...but so far I just have to disable all on-screen notifications in notification settings and then press the left-soft key over and over again to dismiss all those stupid notifications.

Absolutely! I also can not understand why it seems impossible to get rid of this "feature". Specialy since HTC Home Plugin (and lot of other today plugins) make this notifications absolutely unnecessary.
