Hello folks. I would like to know if there is a way to make my device vibrate more than one time whenever i recieved a new email message (Corporate Exchange). I used to have a Blackberry and it was nice that i could make it vibrate 3 times. Sometimes when my phone is in my pocket it may not feel it vibrate the first time. Any ideas guys? I also would like to repeat sound notification too ..but i guess there i can just use a custom wav file ..just create a wav file that loops maybe 3 times.

Hi smkamene... I may have something here for you but it will require you to tweak your registry. So if you're going to try it, you may want to back up the registry first! Let us know how it works for you...
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.
But as i change to a different profile and back, the previous (original) Script-String is restored...
Is there any way to make WinMobile "remember" my editing?
And does someone know a tool or Tweak to make the phone continue blinking in case of a missed call instead of stop doing anything if the caller drops the (unsuccessfull) call?
For Text-Messages i could just keep some blinking/pause-Script repeating, but that won't work on calls, wouldn't it?
Thanks a lot and greetings from Switzerland: Felix
The ringtone on my MTeoR is way too loud, so I nedd to find a way to change this. Why is there no menuchoice for changing the volume???
I changed a few keys in the registry, using Mobile Registry Editor;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\* (InitVol changed to 1)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 (Script changed to av1w1v1pw2r) (vibration, pause, vibration, pause, melody og repitition)
My only problem is, like felice82, that the registry keys is reset after changing the profile.I restarted the phone after applying the registrykeys. The ringtone was ok after restart. As soon as I changed the profile is back to scratch.
Does anyone know how i can add different .wav files to my notifications (ex. text message tones)??
When you select the wav you want as a notification, save it and upload to your device with active sync. Save it in the windows directory then using your settings and personal tabs go to sounds and notifications and the name of the wav you just loaded should be available to select in the drop down list. Good luck!

So i looked in that same directory to change the vibrating settings for text messages, but didn't see anything for sms, is there a way to shorten the vibrate for incoming sms? I hate how it vibrates for 5 seconds which is NOT very subtle.
This was great, it helped me to get vibration on phonecalls! You seem to know how this works, do you also know where in the registry I can change so that I get a vibration for SMS notifications as well?
TIA

Hi TIA,
As far as getting a vibrating notification for new SMS, I believe that option is available by default. You should be able to find it under settings > Sounds & Notifications.
Hello folks, I am a complete noob to this forum and would like to thank you for your assistance . I upgraded my phone from a i930 to a Treo 700wx this week and am already itching to change some issues I have run into with the new Treo. I would like my phone to vibrate for 3-5 seconds before the ring tone turns on in non-silent mode. I read the above post that tells how to do it but still am a bit confused. I installed Total Commander to access my register but have no idea where or how to input the information I have to for the phone to do this. Can anyone spell this out for me in Layman terms? Thank you again.
Do you now or anyone know how i can change the Sounds & Noticifation on my K-jam. at the moment i only have a few sounds and i can't hear any of them when i get a text message or an email, anyone that has a k-jam will know what i mean. if you are on a busy street and you get a text message you can't hear it. Any help or directions would be appreciated.

PS this is my second post on this forum
Hi Richie Rich,
1. Go to Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications
2. Then, you can choose which "Event" to change.
For example, "Messaging: New e-mail message"
Check the box next to "Play Sound" or for vibrate, check "Vibrate"
Choose notification sound/option from the drop down box
ok my 8125 is givin me the biggest headache ever, im not so good with the registry stuff.. my phone doesnt vibrate or play any sound when i recieve a text... im not sure about emails since i dont use it to email or mms... i do the settings thing everythang is clicked it doesnt even preview the sound from the scroll box for the sounds... any idea why?
Special Thanks to Jane Lee for her insight on the ringtone hacks, however, I've run into a challenge. I'm trying to find a way to set up my email notifications to repeat until I acknowledge the message. I modified the HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Notification\Scr ipt value to av3pw60r, which I thought would alert me every minute until I check my email. This worked! Except that even after checking my email, it kept alerting me every minute until I changed the registry entry and rebooted my phone. So then I thought that maybe I would just alert myself five times, by using v3pw60v3pw60v3pw60v3pw60v3p. With each email I received, I received 5 notifications, and it just became annoying. So now I'm back to square one, trying to figure out why the notifications will not stop after checking my mail. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I have a tmobile mda and I have put .wav files into my windows folder and can select them for incomming sms notification but if it is not a system file it will not play. Is there a way to show that as a system file so I can select my own tone for notification? This used to work just fine until i did my most recent update from tmobile and now they don't work.
Do you now or anyone know how i can change the Sounds & Noticifation on my K-jam. ... Richie Rich
Richie,
Hopefully you have been able to solve your problem since your post, however if you haven't, as the owner of a K-Jam I was frustrated too until I stumbled across the following discovery. Simple process to save extras sounds as follows. Any .wav file that you want to use can be added by the following method:
Copy the file from wherever you have it stored into the directory: File Explorer/My Device/Windows. This is where all the .wav files that you use for alarms, message tones etc are stored. Now any program you install which uses .wav files will be able to use the same sounds, which can be set by using Jane Lee's directions above. You can also copy mp3's to this location as well for the same reason, instead of the designated "Rings" folder in the Windows directory.
Just to add to the previous comments Jane Lee - awesome post mate and I hope to come across some more of your greats.
