WM6.5 - Disable Notifications Left Softkey for SMS/Email/Missed Call/Voicemail? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I have the "Display Message On Screen" unchecked for each of these, but the left softkey still changes to "Notifications" when I have one of these. I would like to disable that.
When I use Manila, it appears to be disabled, but I also know it uses its own reg keys for those softkeys and not the built-in Windows soft keys.
When I use Titanium, I don't need that notification message since I can tap in Titanium to get the message.
I just think its kinda redundant and I'm not sure why Microsoft wants both.

Nobody has any ideas?

I found notification settings under HKLM\System\State\Shell\Notifications.
There are 3 keys in this tree that I think control the display of the Today SK.
I haven't played with the registries but possibly setting Active to "0" would stop the notifications.

Active is a key, not a value you can change (like a string, dword, etc).

Sorry, mine shows Reg_DWORD = 1

I did some research and found that for missed calls (the other types of notifications don't really bother me) one can delete - with resident Mortscript for example - the following reg keys/values (while the notification is active):
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\Active\
"CLSID={A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}"
and
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}\
This effectively removes the "Notification" from left soft key, but leaves the taskbar icon (and skin items / alerts for Phonealarm) intact - which is perfect to my mind.

SMS On-Screen Notification

I have doen a search, but so far I haven't found a thread that covers this particular problem. When I get a new sms, I get the lights, the noise, the vibration and the on screen message, but that dissapears after a few seconds.
Is there any way of keeping that message on screen until I dissmis it? I have checked Adavnced config and there isn't a setting in there, and I don't really want to use another app as I like the way TF3D does it, I just wish the message could stay up for an indetermainate amount of time
does anyone has an answer?I'm having the same problem...
I don't believe thats possible....
I don't use TF3D and I see a "Notification" left softkey on todayscreen. It's enough for me. I tap the sofybutton and the message appears again. I don't know,what TF3D is doing.
there is no reg edit for this?? maybe this can be implemented in a rom upgrade...however i do like the bubble notification
I'm having the same problem. I suspect it is the way that TF3D takes over the soft-keys. So when the notification comes on, TF3D recaptures it after a few seconds.
I looked in Advanced Config and also TF3D Config and couldn't find any settings that would restore the original behavior.

Help me can't see notification throught softkey

I have a problem since i use smartphones with notifications and reminders : when it came no problem i can dissmiss it etc but if i see it after ,the softkey shows "notification" only few millisecondes then shows the normal softkey for 3secondes (i will soon try without custom softkey) and it loop. Futhermore when it happens i can't see any notification icon in taskbar (i don't known if icon should be there) It append for all notification and reminders (task calendar missed called) and in my two device htc p3450 and etenX800 and with both wm6 and 6.1 the only app i have always in the two device is QuickMenu 2.7 (very nice) (i will try to remove it). the problem is not always but is geating worst when i install more apps(maybe one of them is the problem).
Does somebody knoes how to fix this. or at least.
Is there a solution to make a notification window active without the softkey and without icon. Is there a solution to always show notifications Icon.
Thanks and good work(very good site full of information).
help me please
if something is not clear i can even try to send a video of the pb
What phone, OS, ROM, and reminders? If you are using custom softkeys, try removing them.
thank to help me
Curently my phones 3450 WM6 latest official rom
and EtenX800 WM6.1 CustomLight Rom(i had official before)
i have this problem with all these configurations and quite all notifications and reminders (ex : missed call, task reminders,the notification a the first windows startup who ask for sending info to microsoft ,etc...)
the notification which is the most blocked is the one generated by quickmenu when i tap on his battery icon.Futhermore as i haven't seen this problem in any forum and as i have this problem whit very diferent configuration (OS PHONE ROM PROG)i think this probleme come from Quickmenu which is the only common point i see.
I am asking myself if somebody else has already seen this? answer will be welcome
I have removed custom softkey and i have seen the problem again
I Have Found
I have disabled the QuickMenu taskbar icon which indicate free memory and battery and the problem has disapeared.
But it's a shame i loved to see my free memory ram in the taskbar.
Is somebody know a app or a way to show free memory ram in text and in Mb on the taskbar. (i already found wktask which doesn't work properly)
Hello,
I discover this topic which is close to my small issue: since I migrate to a Manila 2D based Rom (HTC Polaris / P3650), the reminders notifications pop up as expected but aren't anymore replacing the left softkey on my today screen (when the notifications pops up, everything is ok, but if I don't immediately press any key, it definitely vanished from the today).
The taskbar and menu bar icons are ok but since this notification disapears from the today's softkey, I'm not anymore abble to directly open the notification's menu, nor the text notification.
Is there any registry key where I could fix it ?

Sorry for multiple posts... seems there is some server bugs

Alerts vs. menu bar

I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?
Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.

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.

Essential tweaks for Sprint Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 ROM (.reg Files)

Here are what I consider essential tweaks for Sprint (probably other carriers as well) Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 ROM. I created .reg files which are registry scripts to change values, just like PC Windows. You can open these in notepad and see what is being done, then do it yourself, or associate the .reg extension with TaskMgr >=3.1 using a file manager such as Total Commander. Then all you have to do is run the reg file from the file manager.
The reg files have both a do and undo included for each task. Files marked with "DEF" are the original default settings. Files marked with "Reboot" require a soft reset to take effect.
TaskMgr (older versions not compatible with removing reg keys - get >=3.1)
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Total Commander

Reg Files:
attached
Includes:
HTC Keep Wifi On When Unattened On
Keeps the WiFi radio active even after the device goes to sleep.
HTC Notification Manager Off
Restore task bar icons so you can click on battery, etc.
HTC Notification Enhancement Off
Allows you to have regular windows alerts which include snooze instead of pretty HTC alerts.
Keyboard Rotation Off
Disable screen orientation change when the keyboard is slid out. I only use this on occasion.
Manila Start Menu Off
Make the start menu small in landscape orientation, and re-enable Programs and Settings on the start menu.
Sensor Rotate Off
Disable rotating of the screen when the orientation of the phone changes.
Sensor Rotate Opera Off
Even if you disable sensor rotate Opera will still do it, use this to disable.
SMS Sent Notification Off
I can't believe it was the default to notify you every time you sent a txt, disable it with this.
SMS Time Stamp Fix 2016 On
Uses phone's date for SMS receive date instead of the carrier's date which for some reason likes to be 2016 ever since the beginning of the year.
Have you seen this one?

Actually that's the reason I did what I did. It looks like that fixes many issues, but many I don't need fixed. I'm under the impression it's an all or nothing deal? I prefer individual reg files to turn things on and off at will, and they are great to share since the user can be sure what is happening and customize if necessary.
