I am getting voice alerts for emails and phone calls. I will tell me I have 1 email when it arrives, and also it just recently began telling me who is calling me when the phone rings. I did not change any settings, and I have looked everywhere to figure out where these alerts are controlled. Can anyone help?
Turn off the driving mode toggle in the notifications pull-down

Any app that will let you adjust how long the vibrate on an in coming call will last? The default just ain't cutting it.

I turned off mine. When I get a call.
And I've never heard of one app that could do that. But who knows.

What I mean is like long short long vibrate. Something that will pulse til it got my attention.

I used to use an app called Missed Call on my droid to make custom settings for my contacts before handcent added that feature. I only text really so call settings don't matter to me but if I remember correctly, it has settings for everything from email to call to texts.
Just looked in the market and it seems to have been abandoned. You could still give it a try.
Finally found a great app to give missed event reminders. Works for Gmail, Google Voice, SMS & MMS, email, Google Talk and something called K9 Mail.
Reminders are very configurable. It can make a sound, vibrate and/or even flash the screen for a brief period (default is 1/2 second - it will show your lock screen).
Lots of other options to customize, and all seem to work on the Streak!

Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out. Right now i am using EA and thats doing more or less the same thing...
I would love to have repeating alerts for missed calls, texts, and calendar events. I found a reference to having Tasker do this but before I go this route I wanted to see what other apps people are using for this function?
Agreed. I should probably take the time to figure out how to do this with tasker, but if there is a simpler solution it would be nice.

Try "NoLed" it has lots of options and is very easy to setup.

Missed Call Reminder looks like it may do the trick. Going to try it out...
Anyone use this app yet?
Try Missed Message Flasher Free, in the Android Market. I been using it forever and I love it.

Easy reminder does texts and missed calls. Calendar alerts I am not sure of.

noled has the option to have audio only reminder notifications
GO SMS has settings for this.
i found an app called Flashlight Alerts (search on xda) but it flashes your camera flash when you receive a text or phone call (sadly theres no way to have it repeat a flash every few min to remind you though, yet)
Can anyone tell me how to cut off the voice notification that happens everytime I get a text? I've looked in settings but haven't seen anything that would change it.

Its part of the "voice talk" app. You must have it set to drive mode so it announces everything that happens on your phone. You can turn it off through the widget, or through the app itself.

Yup. That fixed it. Thanks!
So just wondering if anyones came across a flashable zip to turn out screens off when getting a text..ive looked and cant find anything. The help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn off notifications and use an app like light flow.
Use a different MMS app.

This.
I use Handcent and there is an option in settings to set the "Do Not Wake Screen" setting.
You need to go into your stock SMS app settings and uncheck notification options though.
As suggested by another user, turn off notifications in the sms app. Download an app called sms popup in the play store. Go into that app. Disable the popup notification. Set the rest of the settings such as the notification icon, notification sound, etc. With all that done, you essentially have the stock app behaving the way you want. I've been rocking this solution along with light manager for a few weeks and it's flawless.
