SMS and E-mails wake phone

djg08642 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-08-2008, 06:54 PM

Sorry to start a new thread for this but I did search pdaphonehome, xda, and here and didn't find anything specific.

I had a Samsung i760 prior to having this phone and it didn't wake up when I received text messages or e-mails which I liked in case I couldn't answer the phone right away and my pocket would end up replying/calling people.

Anyway, is there a regtweak to prevent the phone from powering on for notifications other than phone calls?

Thanks.

Yes there is.. check out this thread.. It's about halfway down.

**EDIT**

Here is the part I was talking about, pasted.. but still check out that thread for other useful tweaks

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.

Yeah, I found that thread but I wasn't sure how to set those values to the text message ringtone. In the registry under the RingTone0 key, it shows which file it's for but there is no key for the text message noise. Just the ringtone that is my Incoming Call ringer.

Ideas?

Try going the normal route of changing your text message alert and compare the before and after results of that registry area. I'm assuming that if you change "RingTone0" to "RingTone1" or "RingTone4" or something like that you'll have the text message alerts.

Other than that, i'm not really sure.. perhaps someone else can chime in?

Here's what I've found...

The text message options in the registry are under HKCU/ControlPanel/Notifications/ Some random mixture of letters and numbers. Keep scrolling through until the "Default" key says "Messaging: New text message"

In that key, there are values, Default, Duration, Options, and Wave.

Default: The message displayed
Duration: Not sure on this one
Options: Some number which represents the checkboxes in your Notification settings
Wave: The sound you have selected to play when a new SMS arrives.

Now, does anyone know what Hex number to put in options to allow Vibrate, Continuous flashing light, Sound but no power-on?

My suggestion; not sure if it will work but you can give it a shot..

In your "HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Random Numbers\" (the entry for your "Messaging: New text message")

Add a new string value named "Script" (no quotes, obviously)

And give it value of "v0pf0" According to the code above, that should make it vibrate continuously, play the ringtone, then flash LED indefinitely...

Like I said, dunno if that'd work. I'm still trying to iron some stuff out on my PPC or I'd try it.. just at a point right now I don't wanna have to flash to fix something I broke

Lemme know!

***EDIT***

I'm now doubting this for one reason:

The key for new email messages doesn't have a script key, and it by default does what you want, sound, vibrate, LED, but no screen activation.. HMMM..

Why not use the stock Device Lock?

Go to Start>Settings>Today>Items and make sure Device Lock is checked; then click "Device Unlocked" on the Today screen, which locks input, before putting the phone away. You will have to click "Unlock" in two places to re-enable the buttons and screen; however, the green phone button will still work to answer incoming calls while locked.

Because that'd be kind of like taking a few steps backward. I don't want to have to press any buttons to use my phone. I just don't want it to turn on when I get messages period.

I'm at a complete loss, then.. I looked all through the registry and couldn't find anything. So I don't have a clue.. but like I said, when I get a new email it does exactly like you want, so if could somehow find those registry settings you could pry mimic it.. I just can't find it. Sorry man, I tried..
