Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

This isn't workin for me. Sure the options are now there, and I have it set for led notification with "no limit".. However I woke up this morning with email and a text message, but no led.

:(

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

ifi t was on the charger this may be why

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

No, we don't.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Actually, when I posted my discovery about these keys and values some time ago, I also posted them on other forums. Someone had the same experience. It seems like something else is causing the LED to timeout. They reported that the LED does flash longer with the change, but not forever when set on "unlimited".

Perhaps someone should set it to 60 minutes and see if it indeed goes for an hour...

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

another notification such as a ring on a call or a charging compleet would probably cause this.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

No it wasn't.

Maybe it's cause I had text and email. I'll have to test later..

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

its possible. let us know

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

It seems that the led is only flashing for about a half hour, even though it's set for "no limit".

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Yes !! I have tested this with Juicy 2.4.1 I gave a miss call and soon after 30 minutes the flashing went away. BTW, I have set to "no limit". Also, there were no other intrusions, other missed calls or messages that would trigger LED flashing...
So, no matter what, it stops at 30 minutes..

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Eagerly awaiting this snovvman! Having the repeat option for text messages and emails etc would be by far the most useful notification enhancement. :headbang:
I used to run a program called TreoAlert on my Treo 700wx, that program was insanely popular because there was a real need for repeat notifications.

Juggalo - I appreciate all your work but I'm not sure I agree with your statement that "repeat" is not necessary. What if you get a text and miss it because the ambient noise was too loud or something? You won't know it until you check your phone. I for one would love nothing more than having repeat notifications for any missed events - text,email, missed call, VM etc.

Thanks!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

@the7thson: I agree with you. I did find a way to un-gray "repeat". I seem to remember that there was a hitch related to it. I will look into it again and post within a few days.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

I have found that the e-mail notification flashes for 5 minutes no matter what I set it to. It still flashes for 5 minutes even when I un-check the flash led option.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Yep, for some reason un-checking the flash led box does not stop it from flashing when I receive a text msg either

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

How come the repeat doesnt work?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Looking forward to it snovvman, can't wait :headbang:
Let me know if you need me to help test anything with it.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Ok, try this:

It works on other WM devices, I haven't tested on Diamond so here is a quick a dirty test.

HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/ and look for one of the keys that you want to modify. Look at the "(Default)" value, it will give you a clue which function it controls, such as New Text or New Email.

Look for a DWord named "Options". Take note of the existing value so you can revert later if necessary. Change the value to 4000000D (hex) or 1073741837 (decimal). Reset (not sure if necessary). Now, go to that modified function under Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications/Notifications and chose that field. Set it to "Play sound", and "Repeat" should un-gray.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. I will look at it more tomorrow.

Edit: The hex value should be 4000001D and NOT 4000000D!!

Edit2: More notes to follow. I will start a new thread on this.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Holy crap it works!!!! Thank you so much, you are the effin man!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

you have essentially gave other notifications the option ID of the Alerts Notification.... please report back if it has any adverse effects.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Good to know, I was curious about how this worked and how it was discovered. I guess I could search in the registry for that key and see where it exists. EDIT: Searched the registry for that value but it didn't find it anywhere even though at least the one that i put in definitely exists.. wtf?

I'm testing this now, will report results.

First result - repeat doesn't work when phone is set to vibrate. It only repeats ringer tones. Any ideas why?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Thank you...yes it worked. I'm sure alot of people are gonna what to know how to do this!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

because the function was designed for reminders, and reminders only repeat the sound not the vibration.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Ok it keeps repeating the tone for a new text message even though I've dismissed the notification. The text message is clearly marked as read but it still keeps repeating :(

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

And another thing....even after you read a text message or whatever...it keeps reminding until the time is up that you set!!! It doesnt shut off after you look at text or go to your voicemail! Just when you thought it was going to work right....

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

thats why i didnt include it in my cab ;)
and u guys thought i was holding out on yah. i was just preventing a headache :)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Sorry it didn't work as expected. I'm looking at another method... Will let you know what I find. I may have also found vibe w/ ring on & vibe w/ ring off, if they are helpful.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

No offense intended whatsoever - but you could also prevent the headache by offering this information in the first place ;) No worries at all, it was worth a shot to try for myself. I'm gonna look for a program like TreoAlert, that app was awesome :)

Snovvman might come up something too, eager to see.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

i mentioned before these settings are not practical, and there of no use to include... what more do you want from me? lol

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Exactly!

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Just to know exactly why they're not practical, that's all. Thanks anyway.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

well to be fair i did state that they would have a alert that would not shut off and it would be annoying :)

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

I just scanned the entire thread again and I still don't see this anywhere, maybe I just missed where you let us know about this.

Either way, testing it myself was the most reliable thing for me to do. I'll try to look for another solution as well.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

it was in another thread, snovvmans original, anyways. i dont know how to fix this issue. but i think there is an alert program that does what u want... well its actually a mortscript.

or we can figure out if there is another option value that will work and allow the alert to be dismissed like the reminder... snovvman would probably be able to look into this better as i never did look into the issue.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Cool, what's the MS prog you're talking about and where can I get it?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

its called treo alert. i used it on my treo. but i dont think its treo specific

ill see if i can dig it up

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

Lol yeah I've mentioned in this thread that I used to use TreoAlert on my old 700wx. I don't think you can use it on the Diamond, but I'll check. I know it's available on the treocentral.com forums, I'll get it from there and try it.

Thanks.

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

treo alert was great software

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

It is certainly easy to comment ex post facto. Now then, third-party apps are always an easy option. I prefer PhoneAlarm. It offers repeat, and so much more. The current versions support TF3D.

If you wish to puruse the "OE" option, and would like to help, go to the same keys and change the values under "Option", go from decimal value of 1, soft reset, and go back to the "Notifications" panel, take note and report what options are gray and what are not. Map those out and it may help determine another way to unlock "Repeat".

I'm also looking at some entries that don't exist in the Diamond that may be helpful. Stay tuned...

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

I know this question must have been asked already, but here goes anyway (and I did try to search for the answer).

What is number 3 in the picture below? Is it a light sensor or is it the multicolor LED that is found in the predecessor to this phone?

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

it's the ambient light sensor

Re: Juggalo_X's Notification Enhancements (LED Flash Hack)
 

DAMN, thanks jason25, I miss the old multicolor Leds and was hoping that there was a way to get them back. Oh well, guess we will have to wait and see if the white ones can do other colors.
