History:
I have the Telstra version of WM6 running on my Treo 750 (Australia)
I dont think much of the WM6 vanilla way of handling new SMSs and missed calls. At first you get a notification balloon and beep and vibrate if you set it. Fine, this happens at the initial point and then nothing - there is no follow up, no repeating and no flashing LED. The phone could be sitting in front of you and you would have no idea anyone rang at all. The settings in WM6 for missed call notifications has a 'repeat' option which is greyed out. Useful! whats the story there Palm/Microsoft ?
The next step for me was to get an add-on to give repeating alerts and tried SPB phone suite which works nice. (I wish it would incorporate the flashing LED as a selectable option). The problem then comes with double notification - with a missed call there you have to do multiple presses to acknowledge the standard windows notification and then do the phone suite thing so that the ongoing alerts stop. All in all it was a pain - albeit useful.
After digging up a number of write-ups on registry hacks here's what I worked out for WM6 on my treo;
There are two items to play with; both are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
The two items are the long strings that start with a bracket;
{283E0018-..... for the new message, and
{A877D660-...... for the missed calls
you can rifle through all the items and look at the default entry which will give you a description of what that item is for.
not sure if these are the same for all WM6 machines.
The string to work with is 'Options' which you will find in each of these two. (You will need a registry editor, by the way, plenty of entries on how to find one)
Previous info I found suggested the options worked in a base 2 summation using;
1 - sound notifiaction
2 - vibrate
4 - LED flash
8 - Message notification
e.g if you wanted sound, vibrate & message then options would be 11 (i.e. 1+2+8)
I tried this on my Treo but it didn't work properly. The solution I was after was to turn off the windows notification so that phone suite would look after it. Whatever I used, I could not stop the windows notification coming up.
Anyway here's what I found worked:
for the missed calls I set the options to Dec 536870919 (Hex 20000007)
this gives the sound and vibrate and NO windows notification for a missed call.
For the New SMS I set options to Dec 15 (Hex F)
This gives me sound, vibrate, message but also flashing LED! I dont no why the LED part wont kick in for missed calls - maybe someone can solve that part for us.
Anyway, I'm no real wizz on different phones so dont start peppering me with why doesn't it work on my xxxxxx phone. Just passing on what I worked out.
Nice tip.
Thanks!
great tip!
it works
thank!
i suggest to download Spb Phone Suite and you will never missed a call, voicemail, Sms, ever again

Thanks for getting me started. I mapped out all the options in the notification area.
I hatted that my brand new Sprint Touch Pro was beeping at me because of an appointment reminder and I needed to dismiss the reminder before it would quite beeping (the Repeat check box is grayed out, but selected for Reminders by default, so it couldn't be unselected). Not anymore
My phone uses MW6.1, so I have only tested these values on this.
First a list of the reminders in the Registry found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
15F11F90… - Reminder
695F6B37… - RSS-Hub:New Item
85ee47b2… - QuickGPS
8ddf46e7… - Connection established
8ddf46e8… - Connection disconnected
A877D658… - Begin Sync
A877D658… - Beam:Autoretrieve
A877D659… - End Sysnc
A877D65A… - Messaging: New Email
A877D65B… - Messaging: New Text
A877D660… - Missed Call
A877D661… - Voice Mail
DDBD3B44… - Wireless Network Detect
There are two important keys:
AvailableOptionsOptions
The values in these keys will determine what options are avaliable (AvailableOptions) and which options are selected (Options).
The values relate to the following (in the order on the Notifications tab):
1 = Play Sound16 = Repeat8 = Display message on screen4 = Flash light for ...2 = Vibrate
Just like donr said, you add the numbers of the notifications you desire. So if you wanted all of them selected you would put 31 in the Options key. If you only wanted a message and vibrate you would put 10.
Next step.
AvailableOptions determine which boxes are available and which are grayed out. (we will leave out Repeat until later). Options determines which are selected, and yes you can select something in Options that is not selected in AvailableOptions, it will appear as a grayed out check box that is selected.
So if AvailableOptions is set to 10 only the Display message on screen and Vibrate check boxes will be available, the rest will be grayed out. If the Options value is 14, the Play Sound will be grayed out, unselected; the Display message will be available and selected; the Flash light will be grayed out, but selected and 5 min (Duration key = 5); Vibrate will be available and selected.
So set the options you want to select and unselect using the Available Options key and use the Options key to specify which are selected. Changing the selection in the Notifications tab will change the value of the Options key, but will not change the AvailableOpions key.
The only values accepted for either are 1-15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31
Is is because you can't have Repeat (16) without Play sound (1), that's why there are numbers missing. I tested putting 16 in AvailableOptions and 31 in Options and all boxes were selected, but grayed out.
Now for the Repeat checkbox
Things get slightly more complicated when the Repeat box gets involved. The way the AvailableOptions values function do not change. Setting it to 15 will make each box, except the repeat box, available, with the Repeat box grayed out.
It seems that the Repeat box is governed by the Options value first and the AvailableOptions second. So setting AvailableOptions to 31 and Options to 15 would result in Repeat being unselected and grayed out.
The only way to un-gray the Repeat check box is to set AvailableOptions to 31 (it still matters) and set Options value to 1073741824 + (what you want selected).
So 1073741825 (1073741824 + 1) is only Play Sound,while 1073741855 (1073741824 + 31) will select all of them.
The only thing I can figure is that 1073741824 is 40000000 in HEX and that is needed to turn on access to the Repeat check box. The values added to that affect what happens to after that.
If you set AvailableOptions to 11 and Options to 107374185, all of the boxes will be checked, but Repeat and Flash light will be grayed out.
I have seen different values listed on the web, but the values I list here are what windows assigned when certain boxes were checked and unchecked. I did us one of the values I found on the web to determine 1073741824 was needed to open access to the Repeat check box.
Have fun setting your Notifications.

It's nice to give back after gaining so much from the gifts of others.
hi,
in order to get a voicemail-notification (tape-icon on top-bar), are there any settings i have to check with my network operator?
currently i will be notified with an sms if there are new voice-messages.
however, my phone does not show an icon, nor, even worse, the regkey
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \System\State\Messages\vmail\Total\Unread\Count
is not available.
thnx
I'm on O2 in the UK, but I imagine T Mobile should be similar - you need to call up your voicemail and get to the settings menu and change your notification type.
You will probably be able to choose from the SMS option, a ring back option (why?) and the tape icon notification.
Hope this helps.
thanks. i thought i will be s.th. like this. tried it out, but my voicebox does not give my any other options than sms notification.
thanks anyway!
When my phone is in standby and I get a new email, my phone won’t give me a notification. It doesn’t vibrate or make a sound. Only when I turn my screen on I can see I have a new email. In the sound options for a new email the vibration function is on. Also the solution in this topic namely:
UPDATE : If someone else has this problem, just set your 3G/GPRS connection "HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\[GUID]\Connections\[Connection Name]\Always on" to 1.

Doesn’t work for me. Also when the screen is turned on, and my mail is being synchronized, I only get LED notification and no vibration. Who can help me out?
I’m running the original .93 dutch rom, GPRS is always turned on and I'm using my hotmail account to synchronize every 15 minutes.
FIXED: see post #16
Did you checked already....
Your settings for the "Gebeurt.: Berichten: Nw. e-mail
which can befound below: Instellingen -> Geluiden en meldingen
That the options:
"Lampie laten knipperen gedurende "Setting"
"Trillen"
I deactivated the notification on my HTC there....
(Very usefull when you receive continuously actionlog's from a server/router etc)

Yep, both the LED and the vibration notification function is turned on.
Hi! I had this problem too, until I changed the setting "AC/Battery resuming from suspend timeout", found in Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool under power management, from 1 sec to 15 sec. Now my Touch Pro is notifying me of new email even in standby. Hope this helps!
I am having the same problem.
I don't get sound or vibrate notification for email and sms.
I am using DCS v15 firmware.
I'm suspecting it's a firmware issue as I get notifications when I tried romeos v1.11
+1. I am using stock Sprint ROM 3.35. I am noticing this problem after hard reset and restore from sprite backup.
Its updating the emails periodically and sporadically but no notification either LED/screen message when in standby. Its driving me crazy. the whole purpose of PPC gets defeated if you dont have the emails updated regularly and indicated

I tried it but still no notification I have no problems with getting a notification of a new sms in standby, only problem is with new mail
This has been fixed for me. Dont know the exact mechanism to it. What I did is
1. changed my sound setting for email notifications (removed the LED and added the sound, was initially LED + Display notification). worked
2. then added in the LED. worked
3. remove the sound. worked.
Doesnt make logical sense. but hey I am not complaining.
Another extra info on this. you could check the registry entries here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{}\Options
0 - Show icon
1 - Show icon and play notification sound
2 - Show icon and vibration
3 - Show icon and vibration and play notification sound
4 - Same as 0
5 - Same as 1
6 - Same as 3
7 - Same as 3
8 - Show icon and notification bubble
9 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
10 - Show icon and notification bubble and vibration
11 - Show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration

Hi, I have a similar problem to this threads topic and i hope bones20 knows the answer. I have a diamond and use touchflow 3d so i dont need any notification showing a new email message, as it shows me the number on the email tab.
Do you know what i would need to do if i do not want any notification icon to appear for a new email message? Dispite turning off all the options in the sounds and notifications page for new email message, it still shows the icon stating how many emails i have unread. All the options above still show the icon :-(
it should work by default...
check your settings in sound and notifications
if you only access via wifi, it wont work because wifi is not enabled when phone is off

I did everything you said, but still no results. This is getting verry annoying... There must be a way...
Hey Guys,
I experience the same problems. No sound notification or vibration when a new email/sms arrives. I followed the solutions in this thread but didn't change anything. If antone has another idea/solution please let us know as this problem is driving me up the wall.
Running ROMeOS 1.13
chears
It's not working for my either
I tried all the suggested tricks and changes, but still no notification during standby. I've set up 2 email-accounts; one Hotmail (receive as message arrives) and one Planet-mail (check every 30 minutes). My time-out is set to 20 seconds for both AC and battery.
When the device is on; I do receive notifications (both sound and vibrate), but not in standby.
Seems a bit useless to me now
Duh!!!
I solved my problem, but I'm afraid won't do much for you guys. I didn't tick the notification box in sounds/alarms. Hence, I did not get any notification for sms/email. Duh!
Now it's working though...
I still dont have a definite solution to this. I have so far done the following:
1. modified the registry for always on connection
2.
1. changed my sound setting for email notifications (removed the LED and added the sound, was initially LED + Display notification). worked
2. then added in the LED. worked
3. remove the sound. worked.
Doesnt make logical sense. but hey I am not complaining.

3. Changed the upated to day updates instead of 3 days
4. Changed the configuration to use SSL:
http://kiribao.blogspot.com/2007/11/windows-mobile-messaging-and-gmail-pop.html
Setting up GMail POP Account Access on Windows Mobile 6 Messaging
1. Start > Messaging (opens Select an Account screen)
2. click New E-Mail Account (if you already have one configured then select your existing gmail account and then click Tools > Options... followed by another click on gmail account in the list of current accounts you have defined)
3. enter your email address (eg [email protected])
4. Enter your name
5. Enter gmail.com in the account display name
6. for Incoming mail server type pop.gmail.com:995 (notice the :995 - that's the POP port number you need to specify as per gmail's official setup configuration)
7. for Account Type choose POP3
8. for User Name type (and this is the trick!) recent:[email protected]
9. Type in your password (check Save password), click Next
10. for outgoing SMTP mail server type smtp.gmail.com:587 (again, notice the port number 587 added after column) and check both checkboxes below the smtp server name for requiring authentication and to use same username for sending and receiving email
11. click Advanced Server Settings and tick both checkboxes for Require SSL for Incoming E-mail as well as for Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail. Choose The Internet for the Network Connection dropdown on the same screen and click Done to continue with setup
12. click Next
13. Choose some frequency for automatic send and receive of emails (eg. Every 10 minutes) and select All Messages for Download Messages dropdown
14. click Advanced Settings and under When Deleting Messages dropdown select Keep them on the server
15. click Done and click Next to go to final step
16. choose message format as HTML and message download limit of 2KB (both default values)
17. click Finish
It is currently working for me.
FIXED!
YEA! Finally, it's working!!! What I did.. I installed Outlook Email Scheduler Set it up to check my hotmail every 5 minutes, and guess what.. It gives a notification right now! Man.. you should have seen my face when my phone was vibrating
Try it out and let me know!
For me, the registry was set to 12, and this didn't wake the phone up.
( HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ )
When I changed it to 9 it worked !
no email notification
i am able to get the alerts but not when phone is in standby. when in standby i get vibrate but no sound. any ideas
Did lots of searching, no answers on this one:
On the MR1 release for the Touch Pro 2 from Verizon, under settings, "Today", you could uncheck Sense/touchflo, uncheck "windows default" (Titanium), then check itmes like "messaging" and end up with the Classic Windows Mobile 6.1 and earlier Today screen.
Also on that Today settings menu there were checkboxes for missed calls and voicemails. Not an add in app or some sort of widget - these enabled plain looking lines on the today screen that looked just like the messaging info:
Gmail: 13 Unread
Voicemail: 1 Message
Missed Calls: 2
Or something to that effect. Where did that come from? Had to be a cab or something added in the Verizon ROM right? Anyone willing and have the ability to look in the packages and see if it is ex-tractable? It's driving me nuts and I really miss this feature.
PS: This was not part of Visual Voicemail, I tried that one.
Hi guys,
On my HTC Sensation I have SMS notifications on with devliery reports. However I do not know how to disable notifications for delivery reports and it seems there is no option to do so.
The phone vibrates and sounds the notification when I receive a delivery report and when I receive an SMS/MMS, however I would rather not have any notifications for delivery reports and just SMS/MMS.
Is this at all possible? I've heard of SMS Popup, but I rather like android's notification system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Edit: Found SMS popup to be a brilliant solution to this problem.
Agreed
I was looking for a solution to exactly the same problem when i found your post.
tried sms popup and it solves it, and also allows for other useful things like repeat notifications and a popup which are great too.
Hi,
Do you want to remove the delivery reports or do you just want to remove the sound and vibration and keep the notification in the notification bar?
If you want to remove the delivery reports, it's a setup.
On my phone with Android 4.0.3, I have to:
- Go to the SMS application
- Enter in the parameters section
- Choose SMS or MMS
- Remove the delivery reports
To keep the notification in the notification without the sound and vibration... I don't know
