Hi guys today I found out that one can set a custom vibration pattern in the SMS Settings.
Clicking that option brings up a line with "0,1200" written on it. I tried to edit it to "0,1200,1,700" and also to "0,500,0,300,0700" but it did not change the pattern at all - in both cases it just staid a long single vibration.
So whats the trick, could somebody explain that to me?
Thanks
The pattern is:
Code:
"init,vibrate,sleep,vibrate,sleep......."
Set init to 0 to start immediately.
vibrate and sleep given in milliseconds.
ahh thanks. i noted that description above although the german translation was so bad i couldnt understand
So... you need an example?
Basically, the first number is always 0, the next one is a time to vibrate, then the next a time to not vibrate, then a time to vibrate again etc.
So to vibrate 2 times for half a second each, with half a second in between, you'd use something like this:
Code:
0, 500, 500, 500, 500
Think that's right, maybe that will translate to German better? (probably not, but it's worth a try)
thanks. i got that by now

VAlert
Customize vibration on phone ring
This small program allows customizing vibration incoming call alerts.
Windows based phones vibrate either before the ring or constantly during the ring.
Having a short ringtone can possibly solve this problem, but with long mp3 ringtone the phone will constantly vibrate during the ring.
This program will enable Windows Mobile phones to produce short vibrations when the phone rings.
Vibration patterns can be easily changed by the user.
Possibly to match vibration patterns to the ringtone, so the phone will vibrate in a rhythm.
Very low (~4K) memory usage
This software is a freeware.
How to use
1. Install the CAB
2. Enjoy the program with default settings
3. The program is hidden by default. To display program window (if needed), run the program again
7. In Phone->Options make sure ring type is Vibrate and Ring
4. Edit script.txt to change vibration pattern. Every line in the file is a pair of vibration length and note pause
5. From the program window run Menu->Test to test the created pattern
6. Perform Menu->Hide to hide program window
What's new:
- More devices support, including non-HTC
- The installer executes the program upon installation (no soft reset required)
- No vibration on waiting call
- Support for incoming call ring mute (stop vibration)
- Silent start
- Even lower memory footprint - ~4K on standby (was 11K before)
sounds cool
gunna try now
you should make it so you tap the screen to show when u want it to vibrate instead of editing the .txt file
Edit: Great app but confusing to change the pattern
Edit2: lol doesnt seem to work on my vogue when i go to phone->options and press play its just a long vibrate
Ohh man i was about to post a thread on something like this. Thank you so much for making this!
Sounds nice. Will try it out. Thanks for sharing.

Play from phone options is not implemented. Open the program and click Menu->Test or just try an incoming call.
oh okay im gunna try now
hmm.it may be useful.thx.

Thanks for sharing sir!
to save people the bother of working it out themselves, and to get everyone started...
here's my version of the Nokia classic message vibration
i can't hum it, so you'll need to try it, i guess!
Edit : Oh, by the way... is it possible to do something like this for recieving SMS / MMS / Email, or is that a different process altogether?

Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask too! Would be awesome, would be a very useful app, thanks. And yup, maybe an easier way to edit vibrates would be nice. However, it's cool now, for a version 1.
Future versions
Post your suggestions. I am making a list of changes for the next version.
Suggestions :
- a settings UI on the device (instead of having to pull the txt file off to PC and edit and then put back in on device)
- ability to change between multiple vibrate scripts (via drop-down menu or list?)
- if possible (?) ability to use vibrate scripts for SMS / MMS / Email / Other alerts
- vibe scripts that match pattern with the actual ring / message tone would be VERY cool
excellent little program, thanks a lot for the effort
if the other message alerts can be changed from within this (or even just another separate small app) it's just what i'm looking for!
and please can other people post their script efforts, it'd be good to have several pre-sets to start out with.
there might be a slight bug in this
a few calls have come through recently, the vibrate kicks in itself and the ringtone does not play for about 10 seconds or so.
also the programmed pattern seems distorted.
it might just be my device, as i'm noticing that S2U2's full screen call ID has been struggling to kick in when a call comes in these days since i started using Manilla2D as well.
it might be that the device is struggling to find the ID picture and the ringtone and the vibrate pattern at the same time, all the while trying to run M2D.
i'd check if it works correctly without all these extras running, but M2D and S2U2 are pretty much essentials for me these days.
anyone else care to help?

Do you have this problem with all calls or just some?
What do you mean by distorted pattern?
Does this problem happens when VAlert is disabled?
Thanks works great on my prophet with 6.1

That's not a delay. By default (there is a registry setting to change it) the ring is delayed by 2 seconds. VAlert does not have that delay, so it will always start vibrating 2 seconds before the ring.
Nice tool... works goodm i like it!!!
i saw a post about ringer delay for AT&T user and they just need to disable the dialer and the problem solve but what about us sprint users? Here is the original post about that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=449417
i tried to disable the dialer on registry but still get 2-3 second delay before my Touch Pro actually ring.
Download and install DiamondTweaks. There is an option to disable the ringer delay. Works well.
convert your ringer to .wav file

The ringer delay that this changes is the pause between when the ringtone ends and it repeats. Not the delay from when the LED starts flashing (because a call arrived) till the phone actually starts ringing.
If you wish to turn off the HTC dialer and use the WM Dialer, simply goto the following registry entry,
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/Phone/Skin]
"Enabled" = dword:1change the Enabled value from 1 to 0 which will disable the HTC dialer.
I vote for converting to WAV files as well.
If you would like to complain to Sprint about it, the following is the thread I started on Sprint's forum regarding this very subject.

Know anyway to get the light sensor to turn off the screen when on a call (Sprint) other than S2U2?

Depends on what you may have done (adding programs, etc..) to your phone. By default, our devices will turn the screen off to conserve battery while a call is in session. However, if you have added one of the S2A dialer GSM versions which was taken from the Touch HD, that feature was disabled because of the InCall curtain. The CDMA versions (my signature and others) were taken from the Sprint Diamond ROM that was released and still contains the necessary code to turn off the screen display while the call is in progress.
Smotrs...just HR'd and installing now. I haven't tried that one, and actually think I ended up with the GSM version I WAS using.
I'll let you know how it works.
Thanks...
Well, it still sits there while the screen "times" out. I thought the light sensor was supposed to dim the screen almost immediately. I'm on the call for 30-40 seconds before it dims, and then cuts off.
Is this a Sprint thing?

It should Dim after about 10 seconds (or whatever you have in the backlight Advanced setting under Battery). After about 40 seconds or so (same location) it should turn off the screen.
At least that's what mine does, just verified it again. Sounds like maybe your values are too high. After a HR they usually are by default.
Somehow it was at 30 (dim) and 1 min (off). That is a little high. Changed it to 10 / 40. We'll see what that does.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep you posted.
Seems to now be working the way you explained!!! Thank you for the help!
Is there anything else out there, other than S2U2 that allow FULL SCREEN Caller ID pictures??? I don't want to reinstall that because the dialer is actually working right. I just miss full screen caller ID.
Thanks again.
That I don't know, sorry.
Eh...it's ok. I'd much rather have a dialer that works than a full screen picture of my ignorant brother.
you can also change the Slot Cycle Index in the epst settings... you'll need your MSL though
it's under "Modem Settings"
What is slot cycle and where are these settings? How do I find my MSL? I don't see "Modem Settings".
not trying to be an ass, but i suggest you do some searching. there is plenty of info on the subject

I know search is my friend LOL
lol, no prob man...
Changed the SCI to 1. We'll see if that helps. There is always "0"!
I'm also seeing mixed reports/opinions on ACCOLC - Access Overload Class. Mine was defaulted at 8 on Sprint. People say leave it alone. People say set it lower. Others say set it higher.
i found that setting SCI to 1 is good enough, i'm able to catch my calls and haven't noticed decreased battery life from it so that's where mine stays.
Hi guys
This might be a basic question to most, but I´m posting it regardless;
On the standby state (screen off/all functions on) when a notification like a sms arrives the screen turns on for about 5 secs.
I find that timming a bit too short but could not find a way or options to get it a bit longer.
Any hints on this ?
thks in advance
i dont think there is an easy way...
didnt find anything related to this so in my opinion - its an inside setting that can be change only by changing the code itself.
10 seconds should be better...
OK so I got my Z4 tablet three days ago. Fantastic construction, fantastic specs on paper.
I had a Z tablet up until last weekend that I sold for a good price and got this as a much needed replacement.
Both are LTE versions.
Anyway, here are some things I've noticed and I would like to have your comments on.
1) The "antitheft" system for the first two days seemed to be a PITA. As my device is set for three users (me, my wife, my son), it kept popping for the others that it locked and needed MY credentials to unlock. I did unlock it at least five times for each, which means I can't really be... far from the device and let them use it. That I use two step authentication, makes things even harder. Once my "authenticator" phone was out of power and I had to wait several minutes to unlock the tablet. Yesterday I updated to latest firmware and I haven't noticed the issue since. But it's just one day, it may come back. Once (before updating firmware) I tried to disable My Xperia (although I love the find my device feature) so they could work, but it kept me "waiting". In the end I pressed back and it didn't get disabled. Any similar experiences with the theft protection?
2) Backlight (set in auto) seems to be too dark some times. I clicked on the intensity bar, set it brighter while STILL in auto (like it is now set to have a brighter "base value"?). Does this sound normal?
3) This is not a Z4 issue, I also had this in Z. It's probably a lollipop thing or I don't understand something properly. Clicking the volume buttons I can set it to "no" sound from home screen. Or so I think. Because even if I set it to "off", apps STILL have sound and I have to RE-adjust the volume to off from within the app (without the "priority buttons" under the volume bar)... Am I the only one to find this stupid?
4) Anybody notices some lag or ESPECIALLY stuck web browser, when other profiles (users) have run apps? If I reset the device and not visit the other profiles, the device is more snappy. If some other user goes in, even quiting every app they run, the device seems to get slower when back in "owner" user. Still fast but not as "snappy". Anybody noticed the same?
5) Any idea when we get Android M? Will we get 5.1 before that? I mean official firmware. Anybody?
6) Is there a way to go to test menu? The tablet Z method doesn't seem to work.
7) Serious. No restricted profiles. Why? Sony support replied that lollipop has this disabled only on 3G/LTE devices (that makes no sense), yet my Z was also LTE and both are on lollipop 5.0.2 and it DID have restricted profiles. What's up with that?
Thank you for your time people, have fun.
...wow
2) Yes.. brightness is usually set a little low at first for battery purposes.
3) There are different volumes for different things. Using the volume rocker on the home screen and putting it all the way down will only adjust ringer/notification volume. In-app sounds will use the media volume which you will need to adjust while media sounds are playing or you can adjust it in your sound settings. Not stupid imo, just gives more flexibility.
5) It'll come when it comes.. nobody knows except google and sony. I'd like to hope we'd get 5.1 before 6.
(pending something on the other questions above)
2) So the set value, when brightness is in "auto" is like a base value?
3) Well I find it stupid. Why: Because when I am in home screen I used to be able to manage the universal audio settings of the device. Turning device to mute, would turn it to mute. As simple as that. Also clicking a simple icon next to volume bar, you could separately adjust notification and ringer and stuff like that. Now? You THINK you set your device to mute, but you have only set the notifications. You sleep in a silent house (next to the wife or something), start a game, it YELLS with the last volume settings, ignoring that you set the device to mute in home screen and you have to "run" and re-adjust the volume to zero, usually with some delay (in the meantime waking everybody) since the device won't let you adjust anything while loading the game. No, I call this stupid.
5) Well if it won't delay 6, I don't mind for 5.1. But I want 6 the soonest possible.
The app is setedit and you'll need to hand over almost $3 Canadian if you want these tweaks. 1 of them will work for sure without needing to enforce but I think it's a sweet deal and 3 of these are working on Pie. 2 of them, or even 1 is worth the price.
You'll need to go into a shell and enter exactly:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Copy and paste it. If you don't know how to do that just look up ADB, android developer options, and Samsung USB drivers.
First the freebie. Go into Secure Table and click +add new setting (your first entry may ask you to grant a permission. DO IT)! enter: clock_seconds value: 1 BOOM! Hope you like it because it'll NEVER go away! Just kidding. If you factory reset... or simply enter a value of 0 you'll be rid of the ticker.
Next up I think is a freebie, too. Still in Secure Table, scroll down to sysui_qs_tiles delete everything. NO DON'T! Carefully, without erasing the entire list, add in MobileData exactly like that. So actually it'll be a comma first. Have a look around for other tiles because 'ol Sammy likes to keep things real tight with the carriers. You can also remove some but I think it's best to not potentially freezing your phone up.
Now, pretty sure these ones will need the guardian to stick so if you can manage 3 bucks it'll be worth it, especially the last 2!
Change tile rows and columns.
Right above the tile edit in Secure Table is sysui_qqs_count I like a value of 7. Don't go too small or too high. Or do it and see what happens. Please don't. I can only vouch for 7 and 8. I have heard of 3 but never tried it. This changes the first row, first pull on notification menu.
Now to change the rows, the long pull I guess you can call it, qs_tile_row in Secure Table still. I do 4. I heard if you enter in 50 you get a widescreen TV. No idea. I only tried 4.
Screen Timeout not long enough?
While some of you may not need it, I need more than 10 minutes. Head to System Table and... not sure why, but I think this needs both screen_off_timeout_rollback AND screen_off_timeout to work. I set mine to 1800000 (yes 5 zeroes) to get 30 minutes. Do it on both. Double that, 3600000 will give you an hour. So if you want 13 minutes and 27 seconds, figure it out. I think entering a value of 1 will get you a free trip to the ODIN app. Don't know what that is? You'll find out pretty quick if you screw this one up. Of course you're gonna head to the menu and look to see a new entry of 18 minutes and 55 seconds. Not happening. What you will see is that no selection is made. DON'T TOUCH IT! Just leave it alone. It's working. This one works in Pie. Only one setting is needed. Can't remember but you'll find it.
These 2 are the bestest and they work in Pie.
Goodbye HIGH BRIGHTNESS and HEADPHONE VOLUME warning!
In Global System set audio_safe_volume_state to a value of 2. "But mine's already at 2." So then you've been warned. Now add it to the guardian.
In System Table, you'll want to alter a value of 1 in the shown_max_brightness_dialog "But I don't have that entry." So close the app, crank up the brightness and be told how evil it is. Wasn't that fun? Now fix up the entry. Add it to the guardian with the 1 value and if set to 0 don't forget to change to 1
*NOTE* most of these values take about 15-45 seconds to kick in after every reboot. So, before you reboot and say it doesn't work, well, you're kinda right. But you'll soon forget about it and one day be able to reboot without seeing if it works or not. Finally, one day, you'll go to turn up the brightness, or volume, and that warning will not appear. And THAT'S when the real joy is felt. As you're cranking up that slider, in all of .02876 seconds, you're going to think, "Stupid warning" "OMG I am not gonna get a warning" "Hey cool I didn't get the warning. Anyone see that?"
Bonus Feature! When bored I random;y change values of random entries. See how fast you can screw yours up! Don't play with anything unless it's your friend's phone. We're not friends.
I can't vouch this works on any other device except A8. It's a representation of what's on your phone. Adding a custom ROM will change the output and results. Use your noggin, yo
Finally, I turned off battery optimization for the app and feature pack, and turned off notifications. It works fine. No usage pops up because it's very small and no problems with enforcing the edits. No annoying notification required.
mindlery,
I'm doing an article about Drone flight and high NITS display devices. A tablet or phablet that can display the sun equivalent brightness is very expensive so most pilots use cell phones. Of these cell phones samsung and lg both have models that will BOOST brightness (manually at least on the lg G7) but it will only boost for up to 3 minutes. one might think its' a heat issue but the timer is probably a battery saver because when flying I keep resetting my boosted brightness on the Lg-G7 and the phone never gets warm.
So you appear t6o have knowledge on this and there may be an opportunity to help a bunch of pilots if a boost timeout can be changed (easily via app or some easy method) to fix the boosted time to about 30 minutes or make it a manual switch.
If you are at all interested, I'm going to do an article and video for other pilots on this if I can get a solution down.
