[Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Hi,
since the new ROM upgrade for Sprint Diamonds I have an annoying problem: In Sounds & Notifications I set my Phone to "Ring and Vibrate" on incoming call. Each time I do a soft reset, it sets itself back just "Ring".

It's bugging the heck out of me, since if I forget to set it again, I don't know someone is calling when it's in my pocket.

I looked at the registry and only found ways to make ring, then vibrate or visa-versa. But I need to to vibrate the whole time it rings.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Go to the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]

Under there you will see this key: "Script"="apw3r


Change to "av3w3r" , save and soft reset.

The Script reads - activate device, vibrate 3 seconds, wait 3 seconds, repeat.

You can change the number of seconds to your liking, it might not be exactly what you wanted but it still gets you both vibrate and ring.

See attachment for more mods to Registry and explanations of scripts. Just remember that order is important cause it plays whole ringtone first before taking next step. I got these from a post of Rstoyguy.

Good Luck.

just curious....i was running the original sprint shipped rom...then i flashed to a 2.0 rom...now my push email no longer vibrates when i get a new message when the system volume is set to vibrate...text and incoming calls will vibrate but push email no longer vibrates...it used to on the stock rom...and yes...sounds and notifications are set correctly.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Thanks for the attachment. Sure as heck, I had the order wrong :)

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

What ROM are you running?

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

I had the same problem.


Thanks for the regedits.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

No prob.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

i am running a rstg rom.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

This one?

Rhodium_v1D v3.R1d.15 FuzeBerry II 4/11/09

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

no the spb mobile shell one

*edit* the problem was intermitent on both the "tweaked and loaded" and the "spb" roms.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Check the following value in Registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

"Options"=dword:00000001 - ring only

"Options"=dword:00000011 - vibrate and ring

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Just extracted the .RGU file from his ROM. He has the following value cooked into it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Default"="Messaging: New e-mail message"
"Wave"="\\Windows\\newemail.mp3"
"Options"=dword:00000001
"Duration"=dword:00000000

I have had roms not let me change cooked settings before so this might be the case. They always seem to revert back after a soft reset. This might be the case for you if your change it and it doesn't stick.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

would this cause the intermitent problem i am noticing. perfect example happened today. got work and set my phone to vibrate. got push email all morning long and my phone did not vibrate when i recieved an email. got one phone call and the phone vibrated. after recieving that one phone call the i next couple of emails i received the phone vibrated after that it stopped vibrating for emails. i realize under sounds and notifications that i can set it to both ring and vibrate so when i set the volume level to vibrate it will vibrate on all new email. but this is just a bit of a puzzler for me. i used the stock rom for 3 months. and for 3 months i set the phone to vibrate when i got to work. after i flashed to a custom rom (btw - i am loving the rom...dont get me wrong) the push email notification is intermitent when i have the phone just set to vibrate.

anyway...i sure do apprecate your thoughts.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Try this:
First set your Sounds & Notifications new email option to only vibrate (just to test)

Then set your Registry to vibrate only:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

"Options"=dword:00000010 - vibrate only.

Next turn on the volume to your phone and send yourself a message to see if it vibrates only.

Finally, soft reset and check both of the above settings. If one reverts then it is probably the ROM setting everything back.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

nope. neither one changed after the soft reset.

*edit* after reset i changed sounds and notifications for new email to "play sound". changed the system volume back to vibrate and sent a test message. the phone did not vibrate.

before the phone's screen automatically turned off i recieved an email and the phone vibrated. that got me thinking. i tried several tests. i sent several test emails with the phone's screen off and none vibrated. i turnd the screen on and sent a test email and the phone vibrated. so right now it seems when the phone is sleeping it will not wake up when i recieve a new email. it will when i get a text message or an incoming call. where is the setting for that....i am looking

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

now it stopped vibrating again. nothing has changed the new emails just stopped notifying me with a vibration. like i said it is a very intermittent problem. that i cant nail down.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Even this reverts back to the original entry after soft reset.
Something in the latest stock rom.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Nice to know...

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

it has to do with the HTC guardian file in windows folder.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

How long do you wait to soft reset? I've heard a minute or so.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

For the Reg edits to stick? I don't know about that one cause on some ROMs like when I tried to change the tether fix of changing the "Phone as Modem" setting to "Sprint" it would almost immediately revert back to what it was. I would change it, select something else, re-select the reg and it had already switched back....

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

That type of change is usually caused by provxml's. That way when you call sprint, a tech tells you to soft reset....and viola! Your phone starts working again. I'll put that on my to-do list and see if I can't find that setting for you all...

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Thanks for the info, and any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

I had this same problem until I used the htcgaurdian fix that was posted. Now the edits stick.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

I'll give it a shot.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

I tried this and it still reverted after soft reset.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

dang. :(

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

So, I'm wondering if a smarter person than me could maybe write a quick app to do one thing:
With the tap of an icon (lnk) it would toggle on "vibrate & ring" for the phone sound setting.

Right now, I have to click Start/Settings/Sound & Notifications/Notifications/Vibrate & Ring/ok/x - that's a whole lotta clicking.....

I'd love just a one click toggle, like there is for the bluetooth.

Here's hoping the right person reads this and feels compelled.

"I COMPELL THEE!!!!" LOL!

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

I felt compelled to see if you wanted to try this --

I used it for a bit and it was cool. I use SPB phone suite to change the sound profiles on my phone, so I didn't use this app for long.

Hope it helps.

Re: [Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks
 

Thanks - checking it out now. (I gotta try this "compell"-stuff more often)
I checked out the developer thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406769
it's a great g-sensor profile switcher, but it doesn't enable vibrate AND ring from what I read.

Good thought though.
