Modify vibrate for HTC Mogul
 

Hey!

Can any of you guys please tell me how can I modify vibrate to make it so powerful.. I went into Registry to modify "STRENGTH_LOW set to 0 or 1" but it doesn't much any differences.

Thanks!

Did you make sure to wait a few minutes after changing the registry before soft resetting it?

Double check the registry and see if the setting took.

Thanks for telling me.. I'm pretty much noob.. How do I soft reseting it?

Two ways to soft reset. One is to take the stylus and push in the little hole that's under the memory card at the bottom of the phone. Or you can hold the power button till the thing warns you that you're going to lose unsaved data then hit yes

Thanks!! Again, it's still same feelings.. even though I checked into Registry that I have changed.. Not much really differences.

Thanks again!

I actually noticed that instead of the vibrate changing strength, it changed its time, as in it went from a short pulse to a long rumble, annoyed the crap out of me

The one thing that I can't figure out that is 'vibrate related', is keeping the Ringer AND Vibrate on at the same time. I make the registry change, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, the registry change is still there. Any ideas? Does the version of HTC Home that has the Ringer settings make this change as well?

I notice a small difference, but nothing drastic. The biggest thing that annoys me is unlike a normal phone it doesn't vibrate in waves, or pulses, but just stays on for the entire ring. I wish that could be modified.

I agree...

It is also VERY powerful. Often in class the vibrate can be heard because its so loud.

This can be. But this is what I have a problem with, as sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

If you go to the registry, HKey Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds > Ringtone0

You can change the Script to customize how it rings.

There is another thread on here that gives details on every script code, but the only ones that I use are...

a - Activate
p - Play
v - Vibrate
r - Repeat

I can't remember what the default code is, but my code is av0pr. This tells the phone to, Activate the phone, Vibrate forever, Play ringtone, repeat when ringtone is finished.

The 0 or # signifies the amount of time it will vibrate. 0 is for indefinate. If you want it to vibrate for a second or two, you can change the number to 1, 2, 3, or however long you want it to ring for.

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?
