Modify vibrate for HTC Mogul

Hey, what do ya know, this was a few posts down, so here ya go!

18-Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.

Twinsen, I tested this a couple of months ago, but the repeat/play codes have one big flaw: they're all carried out, one at a time, in order. In particular, the vibration will run for X seconds, the ringtone will start, and then it WILL NOT VIBRATE AGAIN until the ringtone has finished playing. So I get X seconds of vibration and the ringtone, and then typically, depending on the length of my ringtone, it will not vibrate again. Not good enough.

Is there a way to use this script to make the vibrate repeat for 'x' amount of seconds during the playback of the ringtone? Like a wave or pulse?

That is what I am looking for. This one giant pulse is annoying.

ditto. i tried changing it from v0 to v1 and it just vibrated for 1 second and then played the ring tone. My ring tone is a song so ends up not vibrating. How do you program some sort of vibrate pulse instead of a continuous vibrate as i find it very annoying

Great post Twinsen!
Any suggestion on how to change the SMS vibratory settings?
