Email Vibrating alert - HTC Excalibur

Well i was looking through the settings and looking for aa way to make it vibrate when i reeaceive an email does anyone know how to set it up. Im on Kavanas rom

If you go into Settings > Sounds, you should be able to set up an audible alert, and I may be wrong, but I think you might need to set an audible alert for the vibrate function to work. Anyway, after that, go to the profile you're using (I'm assuming it's "Vibrate") and click menu, then edit. There should be a setting for email alerts...just set it to vibrate and save.
This is what the method is in the Rose roms, and to the best of my recollection what it was in Ricky's v24 remake of Kavana, so if it doesn't work, I'd wait for someone with that rom.

Hope it helped,
Mine did the same thing, the solution...turn it on silent and vibrate. I never did find a fix for it. You must be running kavana 6.1.

If useing an .mp3 for message tone then you will have to edit it as WM devices play the whole tone on message...
How do I do that stylez???

With an Audio Editor a good free one Audacity so what you want to do is cut the sound down to a more reasonable time
Thanks... ah, I forgot to say that I kept repeting the tone many times, for me to stop that I had to turn the phone off...
It is probably due to Notifications from the AutoKeylock program that is installed by default.
Go to
Start-> All Programs -> Tools -> Auto Keylock
and uncheck Notifications.
This is basically a way to remind you repeatedly of any missed calls/messages/etc. If you like the idea of being notified, you can press the right soft-key for Options, and select Notifiications to configure them as you want.
Hope this helps

changing the default vibrate length

I have search for:
registry setting vibrate default
...with no luck
I don't want to change whether notifications use vibrate or not, but the length of the vibrate. Any notification that uses vibrate, has a LONNNGGG vibrate length on my ROM (I like the ROM, just not this feature). I'm looking for a reg edit to change it back to the normal 'buzz, buzz' type of vibrate, rather than one long buzzzzzz....
ps. I'm not wanting another cab to mess things up somewhere else, just hoping there's a registry setting somewhere that sets how long the vibrate is. It wasn't this long on other ROMs...

I'm not sure if you are going to be able to find anything other than a cab in regards to what you want. But, if you do end up with nothing involving the registry then you can try this out. It's pretty customizable as to what you can do with the vibration on your phone.

Basic Android Notification question

I'm new to Android, coming from WM6.1. I am unable to find info on something I suspect is basic: is there a way to turn off audible notifications, and can I put a shortcut to the setting on a homescreen?
My EVO kept going off last night, seemed like every hour or so, to remind me of someone's birthday. I was too tired to get up and turn if off.
Can I turn those kind of notifications off temp without turning off the ringer?
Maybe someone could point me where to find this info? did a search b4 work but found nothing.
Don't have the Evo in front of me, but I believe if you go to your calendar, click on an event. Go to menu, more, then settings. From there you will have the option about alerts and what not.
Well, yes, thats true. However, that supposes you REMEMBER there is an event coming, which kind of negates the need to put it in your calender in the first place.
With my WinMo 6.1 Fuze I was able to set both the ringer volume and the notification volume separately, simply using the volume rocker on the side of the phone. so every night I would turn the notification volume down and leave the ringer volume alone.
I use quick settings as my default settings from the market for things such as volume and brightness because it allows you to keep it in your notification shade.
if you had that installed you would do as follows >volume control>and then slide the volumes down individually for alerts, ringer, notifications, etc. I think that is what you are trying to do. then you could set it back.

Message Vibrate Not Working

I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Did you change the notification settings in the stock messaging app?
Messaging > menu > settings > notification settings > vibrate > "vibrate always"
Yes I did that. Any other ideas?

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.

Gmail Notification Using Ringtone When Set to Silent

Hi, I have a Gmail account setup on my GN, which is set to show a notification icon, but the notification sound is set to silent. Even so, when I get an email it sounds my ringtone (not even my default notification sound!).
The only way to stop this is to turn off new mail notifications completely, which means I don't even get an icon, so I'm constantly opening my gmail to see if I've received anything.
Does anyone else have this problem, or am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I have been trying to do the same thing but no luck. How did you turn off the gmail sound notifications in the first place? I looked everywhere.
By the way there must be a way we can control all the incoming notifications. I would like them to be displaying but silently. How is this achievable?
Hi, I thought this thread had been forgotten about!
I bodged mine in the end, thus:
1. Go to gmail and use the menu to go to 'settings',
2. Select the email address you want to configure,
3. Tick the email notifications checkbox,
4. Tap 'Ringtones & Vibrate',
5. Select silent for ringtone and vibrate only in silent mode.
(now the bodge)
6. Go to the phone settings screen and select 'Sound',
7. Set vibrate to never.
Told you it was a bodge! If you find a better way, please let me know
