Vibrate phone Until I read the SMS, hard to do? - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
I'm looking for a program that basically vibrate my phone when I get a SMS from sender X (not from Y or anyone else). But also vibrate the phone until I read the SMS.
I have been googling my ass off to find a program that will allow this but can't find any. So I gave up and decided that I will try to do it myself.
I have done some intermediate coding in VB6/VB.Net, more than basic C++ and very basic Java. Never coded anything to mobilephones.
Is this possible to do? If so, how hard? Do you think I will be able to do it?
The program should work on HTC S740 (WM6 Standard)

this is pretty basic and if you follow this forum for info you will be able to do it.
you can also base your work (and maybe add to) "MissedCallReminder" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441593)... ask for the developer's help maybe..

vibrate use a lot of power
if you forgot or left it somewhere
your phone's batt would be flat in no time

Sounds good. But what do you mean that I can base my work on that since it's not open source? Or is it?
But MissedCallReminder seems good, just need some tweaking

How can i make my kaiser look dead

Hello, i need some ideas from you
how can i make my kaiser not to start, so it will look like "broken"?
like press the power button or soft reset and never start in wm.
i would also like a solution on how to re-fix it by myself after that.
maybe one idea, is to flash it and while flashing soft reset. what will happen then? my thoughts are that it will not start until i re-flash it from the computer.
how about that? and plz don't ask why i want to do this crazy thing
have my reasons

hahaha.
Seriously why would you do such a thing Tedev?
/badboy mode on
maybe to buy from someone a device showing the seller that his produt seems dead, so he can pay less... and, then, turn it back to life to a normal use...
/badboy mode off

Make a note of your current radio version. Enter tricolor bootloader, connect with MTTY and type "task 2a" followed by enter. You can later recover with FrankenKaiser.
Yes, to convince your partner you were not able to answer her calls sometimes requires ingenious tricks

I like the way you think
Great thread about Rom development it is.
If its a Tilt tell them that part of it doesnt work like you intended it to, like the camera doesnt always turn on, or it doesnt always awnser calls. Then after they tell you to reset and w/e DEMAND a new one. They have to replace your device if it is still under warranty.

Technical or Software problem

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.

[App] Suggestion: Flashlight app for flash-LED

Since the flash LED is almost useless for the camera application... maybe someone can come up with a small flashlight apllication for it in a touchflo/diamond layout?

Just tried v0.3. Sorry to report it does not work But I'm sure someone on this forum will have a flashlight working for us soon enough I think that's all the camera light is really good for anyway.
anyone have an answer for this?
Just wondering... of course, as usual: "after the fact":
The battery on my car was dead, and yesterday I planned to rplace it with a new one... However, in my garage the lighting is awful, and I could'nt find the screws and bolts... ended up calling the mechanics, to come and boost my battery....
An app like this would have been very usefull... would have saved me about 40 Euro's...

You're assuming people will bother to search and read a little before asking questions. Don't.
And look at the dates of the posts in this thread...

best clock software

Hi,
first off, pls don't bit my head off, as I have already i've search the forums and googled; found a couple apps here and there but nothing fits exactly my need.
Just would like to ask, what clock software you are using for your device? My device is a o2 zinc and i've been using chronos for quite sometime now but Im having probelms lately. i've tried the default alarms but i'm having intermittent problems too; sometimes it works, sometime it does not
Basically, my needs for the clock software is, it has to have a "Every half an hour" chime and scheduled restart capability, and off course a good old realiable alarm for wakeup(nothing fancy, just the rooster.wav will do ). Many thanks in advance...

[Q] XDApp Lite

Who here has the XDApp lite working?
I have it cooked into my ROM and it will never work, ever. It tries to connect, gives it three attempts and quits. I'm envious to all Android OS owners who have it up and running on their devices.
Does anyone have it working on their windows mobile phones and if so have a .cab file? Or even a fix? Any help or advice is appreciated

Two things:
1.) Yes I am using the default skin. Do you know where to find other ones?
2.) When I find said skins how can I change it? Because I don't know where to find my data for that app, because as I said, it's cooked into the ROM.

no not on your phone im talking about on your computer scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen & on the left hand side should be a drop down menu click on it and it should say Quick Style Chooser with 2 skins to chose from 1 being the default skin & the other being the beta skin make sure you are using the default skin then on your phone try to login again to see if it works this worked for me
Nothing, I tried twice. I don't know what could possibly be the problem. I'm going to try to change the layout on my cellphone to see if that might fix it.
How exactly are you connecting to your Xdapp lite? Wifi or 3g?

im using wifi
Okay so that would make sense as to why that works for you. I'm going to try changing it on my phone, and if still nothing do you think disconnecting my data and using wifi would work?

So I Did Some Digging Around To Try & Find The Info I Was Telling You About & Guess What I Found It And I Was Telling You The Wrong Procedure I'm So Sorry About That I Was Right About Changing The Skin But Was Wrong About Where To Change It At
Check The Post Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7183733&postcount=367
Here Are The Steps I Did And It Worked For Me The First Time I Tried It
Remember All This Is To Be Done On Your Computer Not Your Phone

4.Logout Then Log Back In
5.Now On Your Phone Try To Log In To XDApp Lite All Should Be Good Now If Not Then IDK Because This Worked For Me
Suhweet! I finally got it working! DD You guys at the Core Cell team should direct people that use your ROM to either this thread or give them some sort of directions in the Fixes part of your thread. Just a recommendation of course Thanks alot for the help I do appreciate it!

Maybe someone else can pick up on this project and make it more user friendly haha I have no programming skills seeing as I'm 17 and the only C++ I know was a 10 year old curriculum I took in high school last year So I can't...but it'd be nice to see someone else take this up and make it better than it already is
