As I have said I am new to windows mobile, I have just bought the HTC Radar and I must say that I really like this phone it is so smooth and the colours are very vivid anyway there are a few things that I am having problems with so would be so grateful for any help, firstly the sms notification tones are so quiet I have chosen a sound and pushed the volume up key and it says 30/30 but the sound when I receive a text message is quiet I will never hear it when I am out or if its ever in my handbag, another question I have put on the facebook app from the market place it has synced some events but it has not synced any birthdays in my calender how do I get the birthdays to show? the last question is where can I change the syncing times for facebokm twiltter ect in most phones you can choose all apps sync times from every 30 minutes to manually, I can't find this option anywhere, thank you for taking the time to read this....
firstly the sms notification tones are so quiet I have chosen a sound and pushed the volume up key and it says 30/30 but the sound when I receive a text message is quiet I will never hear it when I am out or if its ever in my handbag
There is no separate volume for sms tones and no custom sms tones at the moment.
another question I have put on the facebook app from the market place it has synced some events but it has not synced any birthdays in my calender how do I get the birthdays to show?
The birthday calendar syncs via windows live to the calendar on the radar. Once you've set up your facebook account in settings go to calendar --> settings and make sure the Birthday calendar is toggled on. Select a color of your choice and it will alert you 1 day before someone's birthday and show up on the calendar tile.
the last question is where can I change the syncing times for facebokm twiltter ect in most phones you can choose all apps sync times from every 30 minutes to manually, I can't find this option anywhere, thank you for taking the time to read this.... :confused:
I believe by design it updates every 30 mins. If you're worried about battery turn on battery saver mode in settings and it would then check manually.
Thanks for your help and advice, I have checked my calender and the facebook calender is toggled on but I have just checked all through it and there are none of my friends birthdays in there at all....
BTW....it is Windows PHONE not Windows Mobile.
Couldn't resist being an ass, could u? Geez...

I'm using the T-Mobile 2003 edition of the MDA 1. I've attached a screen shot (pc_capture1.jpg) in which you'll notice that my calendar reminders continually place bell icons at the bottom of the screen. The second screen shot (pc_capture2.jpg) shows that I've configured it to not show any reminders for calendar entries. I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of the bell icons that keep filling up my system tray.
Anybody know how to get around this?
Thanks very much...

Hi - I tried both programs as you suggested, yet I still keep getting my system tray filled with gold bells. Is that one of the things that those programs are written to remove?
Thanks again
Are you synchronizing with Outlook on a PC?
Are you creating your appointments on your PC?
Are the reimders on for Outlook on the PC?
These settings in your screen-shot apply as the default when you create an appointment on your XDA, but when an appointment is created on your PC, the settings there apply.
Just a thought.
Hi Brosenow -
No I'm not using Outlook on the pc - it's actually Steltor Corporate Time by Oracle, for my work's email system. It's a conduit that sends the appointments to the PPC. All appointments are created on the pc, with reminders on.
So it sounds like the reason this is happening is because I have reminder set on my pc. Is there any way to get the PPC to ignore that setting? I would think that if I tell the PPC not to show reminder than it just wouldn't show them.
Thanks again...
Greg.
Try this -
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
Select the event Reminders and de-select all options. I think that may do the trick. Of course, if you are using a profile program like PocketZenPhone, you will want to disable reminders in there as well.
Hope this helps!
Nope, it's already set that way. No luck. This is a strange one!
When I first got my Touch Pro, I thought, "oh neat, when I'm in a meeting, the phone automatically goes into Silent mode." However, I have no idea how or what I did to disable this... Was it a TouchFlo feature? I have that disabled...
On a related note, I also had ActiveSync only download e-mail during work hours, but now that too has been disabled...
Anyone have any ideas?
How would your phone know if you were in a meeting or not?
you have a meeting setup in your calander......
just a guess =)

Heh right...
Outlook knows if I'm in a meeting...
I use this feature all the time while at work. I just put in my scheduled work hours in the calender and set the sounds settings to AUTOMATIC. Now this feature will only change the ringer to vibrate, but does so while in the meeting & back to normal afterwards.
As for e-mails I just send/receive from my phone. I know that there's a setting in Active Sync that will sync them to your phone when connected but I use ThunderBird as my e-mail client. I think that you have to download your e-mails to Outlook first. I don't use MS Office so I'm not sure if there's a setting in Outlook that automatically checks for e-mails.
I hope this is helpful.

Thank you, but where is the Sounds Setting? I don't see anything in Sounds and Notifications for 'Automatic'...
I also was able to figure out how to not download new e-mails when I'm not at work... It's in ActiveSync's settings... There's a little link at the bottom of the Schedule option...
In the tf3d front end you have the slider home, contacts, internet, and all the rest including " Settings". Under settings you have sound, under sounds you can set to automatic (there is a description for the setting).
Its a HTC touch flow feature, not a WM6 setting.
Hope that helps

Ok that's how it got disabled then. I'm not using Touch Flo... Thanks for clearing that up...
Newbie here, I searched but sorry if this has come up before.
The 3d is my first Android phone - came from Palm Pre minus hell.
How on Earth do you turn off the sound and LED notification of every email / SMS / etc?
I've got the notifications turned off in the Mail app for each of my two accounts, but still get the BLLLIP every frickin' couple minutes.
Thanks!

use volume-down until it's on vibrate
you configure notifications from a given app from the app itself. so when you're in the main scene of an app, hit the menu key & look for Settings>Notifications.

Thanks, but I've already done that. Still get the notifications.
Calendar
I've also noticed that you can't turn on notifications but have vibrate off for the calendar events. I think this is a sense 3.0 thing, as you could do it on the EVO 4G and could do it in some custom sense 2.1 ROMs I ran. Kingdom ROM (sense 3.0) had the same issue. Wish they'd put that back in.
If you're using Gmail under settings there is an option that will only notify you once for unread emails. Once you check your mail and get new messages it'll notify once again for the next new message until you check it.
As for SMS the default app either notifies you on each app or none at all. I checked Go SMS Pro but they don't have an option that only notifies you once like Gmail does.
Edit: I had the Pre minus too, and in Android the main thing is that you use the menu button pretty much the same way in the Pre you hit the upper left corner to get the programs menu.
Thanks
Well, I'm either dumber than usual, or something is wrong.
On the page in Mail settings under "Notifications", "Email Notifications" is un-checked and set to "Off". Still get the frickin' bleep an flashing green LED on every single email.
Not sure what else I can do.
Do you have a gmail or other account. If it's a gmail account when you setup your phone by default your gmail is in the gmail app. If you setup your gmail account in the email app remove it from there and only deal with it in one place which the gmail app is the best place for it.

Aha! I was using an app labeled "Mail" which was on the first page of the home screen (or whatever the proper term is), NOT the "Gmail" app . The Gmail app also has Notification settings. How confusing.
That took care of it. Thanks a bunch!
Is there a manual method to change notification sounds? Like a prop edit, or other change? I want to set individual sounds (email, sms, alarm, etc...), but the Sense 3.0 version I'm using only has a single setting for all notification sounds.

most apps with a notification feature will let you set a unique notification sound within their settings menu (I know Gmail, stock SMS, Facebook, G+ and at least my alarm program do this)
Yeah, I got sms and alarms figured, but there's no way to set an email notification sound.
Sent from my Bad Assed Mobile Fone
which email app are you using? it's possible with the gmail app, it's just kind of hidden
go to settings --> account settings --> (select the account you want to change, if you only have one account it will be the only one listed) --> labels to notify (at the bottom of the list) --> (select the label you want to set a notification sound for)
I have one personal and two work accounts synced to my phone, with different labels synced for each account, and different notification sounds for each label. honestly...it's maybe more confusing than useful at times ("was that the ringer for my personal priority inbox or my secondary work account's receipts label?") but it's possible.
then again it might not work that way for other email apps, I wouldn't know!
Thanks for that, but I use the stock email app, as I have both a gmail and Comcast account, and I don't want to have to open two different apps to read email.
Sent from my Bad Assed Mobile Fone
aha - in that case, I have no idea.
I suppose you could forward your Comcast emails to your Gmail account if you're really desperate for different sounds, but that might be more of a pain than it's worth too.
Hi. I am looking for an app whereby I can set alarms based on calendar entries.
At the moment I am having to use multiple apps, and I am still not quite where I need to be.
The problem is I work shifts, but those shifts can change on a daily basis.
Add to that that I use a profile manager to put my phone in silent mode at night so that every email, facebook, text, etc... doesn't keep me and (more importantly) my wife awake. And during calendar events it is set to vibrate.
This necessitates a whitelist for phone numbers obviously.
The problem I have is with reminders. I have apps to configure them and treat them more like alarms with longer ringing etc... If I could configure the profile to change 1/2 an hour before an event, it would help.
Unfortunately, calendar reminders rely on the "media" volume slider, whereas the alarm volume seems to be independent of this. What this means is with the phone in silent, calendar reminders do not sound, but with media turned up many other apps sound at night.
So is there anyway of setting an alarm instead of reminder, or converting reminders to alarms?
Cheers/
The Google Calendar app can do just that.
About the phone calls, maybe you can set times when the calls are blocked?

Your missing the point I think (or I am missing something in Google Calendar)
I don't want to block calls, I want certain numbers to be able to contact me even when the phone is in silent mode (i.e. work when I oversleep!)
The problem with the calendar reminders is that they are aligned with the media volume. If I turn the media volume up in silent mode, then all sorts of other apps that send me notifications will wake me up.
This is why I need to be able to set an alarm, NOT a reminder - as the alarms appear to work independently of the media volume.
I am happy with my call whitelisting ATM, so it is a case of finding an app that
Whitelists reminders
Sets alarms instead of reminders
or Converts reminders.
Regards, Jon.
I know this is an old thread, but there is now an App that does what I wanted when I asked this question.
