Okay, only had the phone a couple of days but I've spent all afternoon trying to work out how to turn on an alert for incoming SMS without having to listen to an annoying beep everytime I send an SMS.
I'd prefer to keep a customised ringtone yet the various sound profiles accessed from the Today screen dont let me select my own ringtones.
I assume I'm overlooking the obvious but I can't find how to do it.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks?
Key Pad Lock
I've set the phone so I have to enter a password everytime it goes into 'sleep' mode but cant now find how to knock this off when I'm in the house - can anyone help?
Thanks

I'm afraid it's one of those, either have it on or off. After playing a little longer, you'll notice other things as well, eg. sms/missed call notifications are not repeated amongst other things.
The good news is that there are plenty of 3rd party apps that offer better or extensive use of your Polaris like profiles. A couple that spring to mind are PhoneAlarm and spb phone suite. I think PhoneAlarm might offer what you need like 'launching a program depending on location' and such. Both are shareware though.
Try first googling xda-developers to see what others are saying. Maybe I missed a little app that does exactly what you want.
Enjoy your new toy!
Hi Everyone,
I have searched Google and must say I can't find any solution for changing SMS WakeUp / Notification pop-up.
It is so annoying when the screen lights up.
I would also like to be able to disable that it shows the message in the top statusbar.
I have unlocked my phone by finding the "ChevronWP7" unlocker tool and send (by e-mail) the "ChevronCert" to my WP7 HTC Trophy and installed the certificate. Downloaded "Tom XAP Installer v1.2.zip" and installed "RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0.xap" where I have tried several registry fixes found on different websites: "modify-sms-notifications-in-windows-phone-7" but nothing worked also found a solution here and the same again nothing i working:
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
Could someone help out I would really appreciate....
Thanks.
Bump please
Bump...Lookin for the same thing
Sorry guys, but why would you want this? I hate it on my Android. I have to push the power button every single time, which in turn, kills my hardware buttons.
At least you guys go to your lockscreen with a notification at the top, I had to download an app to wake the screen and it bypasses the lockscreen and I text/call people every single day lol. I wish it would just GO TO THE LOCKSCREEN!!!
Privacy, of course!
Bump.
@Dj21o: With respoect, I can think of at least one good reason why this setting should be "settable" and that is privacy. I may be in an environment where I don't want just anyone to be able to see an SMS as it arrives just by looking at my screen.
The fact that you would prefer it this way is, of course, good, too, but I think ther choice should be in the hands of the user.
Don't youy agree?

Yeah, it should be available for those that want it, and for those who don't... It is a simple setting that make it a big deal for users, and I can totally see where you are coming from. Sometimes my phone unlocks, and that is swiping left to right. I imagine it happens much more swiping up lol.
There is a site where you can put down ideas for developers to look at, and people vote for them. I can post the link of the site if you want.
Here is the site, you can post your ideas accordingly to what type of idea it is.

I just want to know exactly why you want this? Yes it can be abit bright at the first glimpse but isn't there a bigger risk for falling asleep if you just press a button, instead of actually opening your eyes?
Nothing against what you like/dislike, I'm just asking, why.

I want it too because I have Whatsapp group where people keep messaging all the time. And the screen remains on all the time. which simple means that my battery drain faster because screen is always on.

I have the same problem
Any news about this???
So, disable Toast notifications in WhatsApp? That's a (required) per-app setting, no need to request an OS feature for it!
Why you don't flip you phone down? If proximity sensor detect something close to phone display it will don't turn display on when toast notification pop-up.
Ok, so I know this sounds weird but I've been searching for months now and then it suddenly hit me that I should ask on XDA!!!
I'm working with spa/wellness center and basically, they need a way to get messages to the therapists while they're in treatment with clients., things like "you're next client is running late so take your time" or "you've overrun, please finish the treatment asap, your next client is here" etc. It could be an abbreviation based system if the text length is an issue?
It's usually dimly lit rooms and it needs to be something discrete (silent) but still visible without being obtrusive - we don't want the client to think a therapist is texting while doing a massage etc. Sort of along the lines of a Doctor's paging system. It could also be just one way (therapists don't really need to respond, purely a notification system).
Can any my fellow XDA'ers think if any elegant way to do this? It could be via wifi, even bluetooth. I was wondering about the various smartwatches/fit bit style devices but know very little about them.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Bumpage. Anyone got any ideas?
Hi,
I am really annoyed of that pop up, that comes up, when you activate bluetooth, giving you the chance of connecting directly to coupled devices or search for new ones...
As most of my bt-devices connect automatically, and the S7 is obviously visible also for not coupled devices, as long as this window is open (at least the text says so), I do absolutely not want this pop up at all...
It is not even going away after some time...if you dont close it manually, it stays open forever.
So, can anyone tell me, how to deactivate this window? I just want my S7 to start bluetooth, when i click the quick setting, and if I need anything more, I go into the detailed bt-settings separately...thx for any hint!

P.
really, noone knows a solution to, or is at least also bothered by this touchwiz-supercrap?
I have the same problem.. pretty annoying. I world very much like to know this too :/
My dudes, I'm looking for two things to ease my sanity.
1) I would love every single app on my phone to notify me once, and only once. I'm about to roundhouse kick my phone into the future because all my apps just bing bing bing all day. I need to hear when I get a new text message, but I do NOT need to hear 50 replies to a text message.
2) My phone needs to not make a noise when I'm talking on the phone. I don't care if my motion sensor is going off in my garage, I'll see it when I'm done talking.
Any recommendations? My google-fu is weak on this one. I'll buy anything or install any ROM I don't care. My blood pressure thanks you.
wait for notification to show and hold notification so it shows that certain app notification setting then from there just disable it
