Good Vibrations - Well, not really good

[nitrofreak]

Has anyone else seen an issue with the ATT Tilt where it will vibrate to indicate an incoming call or email and lock up (still vibrating) until the user either removes the battery or the battery just dies and the unit resets? I work for an organization and have had two different units do this on multiple occasions. The second one was recently RMA'd and replaced and has only been back in service a few days. We are running the factory ROM which may be part of the problem, but I hate to send these guys out with anything experimental. Any help/advice/co-misery would be appreciated.

Cant say this is something i have come across with my many ROM's flashed onto the kaiser. Sounds like just a bit of bad luck to me

Have not seen this reported for a while now, but see here:

You may want to consider changing the vibrate ring string to avoid the third vibrate that appears to cause the lockup.

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
v0 will vibrate continuously;
v3 will vibrate for 3 seconds;
v3p will vibrate for 3 seconds, then play the ringtone;
v0p will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and when the ringtone stops, the vibrating stops as well;
v0p3 will vibrate and play the ringtone at the same time, and stop after 3 second
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

Some more examples
Display - a
Flash - af1w60f0
Ring - apw3r
Ring Once - ap
Increasing Ring - c50apw3c150r
Vibrate Then Ring - v3w3apw3r
Vibrate - av3w3r
Short Vibrate - av1w3r
Vibrate Long Then Ring - v3w3v3w3apw3r
Vibrate And Ring - av0pw3r
Increasing Ring And Vibrate - c50apv3w3c150r
Fast Vibrate And Flash - af1v1w1f0r


There are several notification sound settings in the registry – examples:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RoamingRing0]
"Script"="apw3r"


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\KnownCallerR ing0]
"Script"="apw3r"


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\Trout.wma"
"Script"="av0pw3r"
