Missed Calls and New SMS notifications on Treo 750/WM6 - Palm Treo 750

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:
AvailableOptions​Options​
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 Sound​16 = Repeat​8 = Display message on screen​4 = 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.

Allow Text and Email repeating alerts (registry fix)

I have been using this and it seems to work well... If it is already posted I apologize for posting it again.
Under HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications find the following keys for Email and Text messages:
A877d65Axxxxxxx
A877d65Bxxxxxxx
Also find Key 15F11F90xxxx for reminders.
Copy the Options value from the Reminders key and overwrite the options value in both email and text message keys with this value
Once you do this, go to start - settings - sounds and notifications - notifications.
UNder events, select new email message OR new text message and you'll notice that th repeat option that was greyed out is now enabled and can be selected.
Cheers!

No email notification when in standby

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)
Keoma
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.

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.

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

TocuhFlo 3D Disable Text Sent Notification

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon with all OEM software still. It is running TouchFlo 3D front end on it. Every time i send a text message the notification pops up saying the message was sent. This is annoying bc it wont let me type anything else till it goes. The notification comes up in a window in the center of the screen and it looks like its from windows mobile not from the touchflo. I look through all the setting and changed tons of things and nothing, i went into the registry and it was already set to disable it but it is still there. I think the touchflo is triggering it even though windows says not to.
does any one no how to turn this off?
Yh,
Search for these two apps here at XDA and install:
netcf3.5 & advanced config 3.3 (install in that order). Once these have been installed go in to advanced config, where you will find a setting to disable sent notifications.
If you merely wish to hide them, you should be able to go to sounds/notifications and untick display message on screen for sent text (although doesnt always do it)
great program! has a lot of nice options that i like.... but all the setting to disable the notification are already set to disable... grrr
i think the touchflo software is somehow overriding the windows setting and making it come up.
ok, i guess its not the touchflo... i closed out of touchflo, rebooted and sent a message and it still gives me the notification, even though all setting say not to and reg setting say not to
Ok i figured it out. When I was searching around i kept coming across this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
* Click on Inbox and select Edit -> New Key
* Name the New Key as “Settings“
* Click on “Settings” and select Edit -> New String Value
* On “Value name:“, enter SMSNoSentMsg and in “Value data“, enter 1
* Soft reset your Windows Mobile device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled
Now when I went to that registry I was already there and already set to "1". The problem I finally found was that it was set as a DWORD and I had to delete it and rewrite it as a STRING. Problem Solved.

LED Stopped Working For SMS (WM 6.5, TD2)

I recently noticed that the LED light for missed SMS - which formerly blinked for the default five mins - no longer did so.
I checked the 'Sounds and Notifications' option in 'All Settings' (I'm using Sense 2.5 stock ROM) and found that the flash LED option for 'new message' was unchecked. I rechecked the box (and changed the duration - didn't know that could be done without a mod), along with 'display message on screen' and 'vibrate'. Now, although the other two options have taken effect the LED still doesn't blink.
I've recently installed a few mods/apps, one to create a registry entry to enable wake-up on new SMS, and Missed Call Reminder for repeating alerts for missed events. I thought they might be interfering with the LED but have removed them both no avail.
Any suggestions?

[App] Zevele's Blinker v1.9 [22/12/2011]

version 1.9​
Hi, Following the requests here, I've wrote this application. Basically the application blinks the device LED every few seconds. The idea is to have some notification that the device is still alive. The application blinks differently depending on the status of the device.
Main features:
Including sequences for normal, low battery, no-signal, new message (Voice/SMS/MMS/EMail), Missed calls, appointments, wireless status (bluetooth and wifi), GPS status and charging level.
Almost all sequences can be configured via the settings application.
Sequences may include blinking the green and orange LEDs (in HD2 - may be configured in other devices), the keypad LED, vibration and playing a wav file.
If the radio is turned off or there is no signal, another orange blink occurs (in addition to the regular one).
When the phone is charging the orange LED lights constantly, every few seconds a sequence of green blinks according to the batter level occurs (20-40% - 1 blink, 40-60% - 2 blinks, 60-80% - 3 blinks and 80-100% - 4 blinks). If the battery is fully charged - the green led lights constantly.
Blink interval and length can be set via the registry. Different blink interval for idle mode and when notification exists (new message/missed call).
Running the link once starts the application, on blink sequence occurs. Running the link again runs the settings application from which the service can be closed.

Known issues
Custom LED id's are not saved to the registry in ver. 1.5.
It seems that there are some issues running "Dusk taskbar" or "SDKCERTS" along with Blinker.
Sometimes when the device is locked, the application stops working (until the device wakes up). After a soft-reset the application returns to behave as expected. I really don't know what instigates the problem or how to solve it... If anyone has a clue please leave me a message. Not solved, but might be better in ver. 1.1.
Update(16/4/2011): setting [HKCU\Software\Blinker\AllowUnattendedMode] to 0. Solved this issue for some. Also enabling "Don't suspend power" in S2U2 (under the advanced category) seems to help.
Update(14/5/2011): In ver. 1.4 a possibility to periodically wake the device, it seems that this solution might work around the issue.
gpobernardo may have found a solution to the problem.
[*]Non at the moment (I'm sure some will pop soon... )
System Requirements
.Net Compact Framework 3.5
Tested successfully on: HTC HD2 (Leo), HTC TD2 (Topaz), HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), HTC Touch2 (Mega).
But might work on other devices (please let me know if it works on other devices as well...)

Configuration​
Blink Sequences
The blink sequences for the different situations can be customized. The blink sequences can be edited in the settings application under the "sequences" tab or by directly editing the correspnding registry key. A blink sequence is composed of blocks separated by comas (white space is not allowed). The following commands are allowed:
G<#> Blink the green led for a duration of # msec.
O<#> Blink the orange led for a duration of # msec.
P<#> Blink the pad light for a duration of # msec.
C<x><#> Blink a custom LED (x=a,b or c) for a duration of # msec.
Pl<WAV file> Play the specified WAV file.
V<#> Vibrate for a duration of # msec.
S<#> Sleep for a duration of # msec.
L<#> Loop over the following sequence (until the "E" block or to the end of the sequence) # times.
E Mark the end of the sequence to loop over.
example:
G100,O100,L10,G25,O25,E,S100,O100,Pl\Storage Card\My Documents\SomeFile.wav
This sequence will do the following:
Blink the green LED for 100msec, blink orange one for 100msec, then it will repeatedly (10 times) blink the green LED (25msec) and the orange LED (25msec). then it will pause for 100msec and finally turn the orange LED for 100msec. At the end it will play the file "\Storage Card\My Documents\SomeFile.wav".

Configuration
All the configuration can be performed via the settings application. All settings are saved to the registry, under "HKCU\Software\Blinker". The following keys are available:
ForceUnattendedMode (DWORD), (0 = Don't change anything, any non-zero value = force unattended mode), (default = 1)
Allows unattended mode (another try to solve the unattended issue).
GreenLed (DWORD), (default = 1)
The LED id to use for the green LED.
OrangeLed (DWORD), (default = 2)
The LED id to use for the orange LED.
VibrationLed (DWORD) (default = 1)
Sets the ID of the vibration LED.
CustomLed# (DWORD) (default = 0)
Allows to define 3 more LED IDs accessed as Ca, Cb and Cc from the sequences.

fantastic^^
Nice work!
Nice work chap!
I have installed it on my HD2, and so far seems to be running fine!
---------------------------------------------------
If the original author doesn't mind, I have made a small addition for those of us with Mortscript!
PLEASE NOTE: The first version I posted of this script had a small error, which wrote the registry entries as a STRING rather than a DWORD. This caused "Blinker" not to launch - due to an invalid data entry. I APOLOGISE for this - the joys of writing scripts after a long day at work. This is NOW FIXED, and tested on two different HD2s, and working fine.
View attachment Blinker.zip
This .ZIP file contains two files.....
blinker.ini -- a simple settings file that explains where (and how) to adjust the various settings for...
Notifications when connected to AC
LED colour change when battery level falls below a certain threshold %age
Time delay between "blinks"
Length of time of each "blink"
It also allows you to set the various "blink patterns" for...
Low Battery Blink Pattern
Normal Blink Pattern
No Service Pattern
Off Pattern (When "blink" is shut down)
On Pattern (When "blink" is turned on)
blinker_v1.mscr -- a script file that reads data from the .ini file, displays the settings, and writes them to the registry. It then restarts Blinker with your new settings activated!
At present I have assumed that you have installed the app into Device Memory, so you'll have to copy the two files into DEVICE/Program Files/Blinker
Have a play and see what you think!
A very big thank you to Zevele - and I hope you don't mind me making this little MOD for it already!!
Very nice program
If I turned flight-Mudus on / telephone off, another orange blink occurs (in addition to the regular one) as described
But, if there is suddenly no signal, it don't will be shown in anyway
(I simulated it with the death-grip->iPhone4
->....or there is no signal, another orange blink occurs
I have HTD HD2 with Official 1.72 WWE ROM.
I installed this cab and when I tried to launch, it crashed:
Blinker.exe
KeyNotFoundException
at
System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()
at
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary'1.
get_item(SequenceTypeKey)
at Blinker.CBliner..ctor()
ar Blinker.Program.Main(String args)
Any ideas?
Net Compact Framework 3.5 installed?
I have the 1.72 Vodafone, too...
Yep .net3.5 is installed.
I have checked, and I also have a large number of apps/mods that require .net3.5 to be installed, they all work.

Not at all, I'm glad that people show interest. I might add a configuration utility later, similar to the one you made.
Thanks for the mod.

I didn't know the HD2 had a "death grip", how do you do it? I could use it to debug this feature.

Is this the full log? If not, can you please post the full one. At the moment I have no idea why this error occurs, I'll need more clues to solve it...
thanks

Oops!

Mortscript fixed now! Please RE-DOWNLOAD from my original post.
Sorry for anyone who did used and suffered with problems!
Got it working.
I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstall, nothing. Still crashed with the erroe log I posted before.
Anyways, I decided to change my taskbar, so I uninstalled the Dusk taskbar, and SDKSert2015 (this was required for dust taskbar to work).
I rebooted.
I then reinstall 'blinker', launched, perfect. It works.
Very odd, but I don't care.
A job VERY well done, good work which is very handy and as you will see, more and more people will download and use it.
Great job, thank you.
Just though I would share the following:
I change the blink duration to '100', an the blink intervals to '5000'.
I might even change the duration to be '60'.
I found this better as you can't mistake it for an SMS, Email or missed call notification. The longer duration makes it clear that it is simply the phone being alive.
This is not criticism, simple personal taste. Without our your app, none of this would be possible.
Well done V.

Dusk taskbar looks very nice, why did you ditch it? what are you using now?

Yes it is very nice, but luckily just by chance, it fixed this app.
I reverted back to what I had before dusk. Brians Black & White. The text is more legible than dusk.

The blink duration was left by mistake... It does't affect anything... if you want to change the duration of the blink you need to edit it's sequence, if you want a blink of 60ms, change "NormalSequence" to "G60" and "LowBatterySequence" to "O60".
for detailed explanation on the configuration you can check the second post.
BTW, you can use a more complicated sequences other than just orange and green, this would make it even easier to differentiate from the normal (sms/email/missed calls) notifications...
Thanks,
Z.

You are correct (of course) it did nothing when I changed it. I made changes as per post 2. Thank you.
New Version!
I have updated my mortscript so that ALL of the settings can now be changed from the .INI file!
You can now set custom "blink" patterns without having to use the registry! (I appreciate that its not a problem for most of us, but some ppl do not like to trawl thru the registry, so this makes life easier for those folks!)
Please see POST # 4 which has now been updated with a new .INI file, and a new v1.0 of the MORTSCRIPT file!
Enjoy!
And thanks again to Zevele for making this possible!

Fantastic addition to my phone,many thanx for this.
One question though,is there a way to have this Auto start rather than having to
go to Start menu and activating it ?

If you use File Explorer and COPY the executable (blinker.exe) from "PROGRAM FILES/BLINKER" and then PASTE SHORTCUT in "WINDOWS/STARTUP/" this will "autorun" the app each restart!
