[Sprint] Ring & Vibrate no longer sticks

Atomic2Mod · #1 (**permalink**) 05-01-2009, 04:34 PM

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.
