[FIXED] VAlert 1.21 - Customize vibration pattern

[ochakov]

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)

[bedaweed]

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

[Xenn]

Ohh man i was about to post a thread on something like this. Thank you so much for making this!

[Syd159]

Sounds nice. Will try it out. Thanks for sharing. :)

[ochakov]

Edit2: lol doesnt seem to work on my vogue when i go to phone->options and press play its just a long vibrate

Play from phone options is not implemented. Open the program and click Menu->Test or just try an incoming call.

[bedaweed]

oh okay im gunna try now

[nothin]

hmm.it may be useful.thx.

[Dr J]

+ 100 i would guess

[_fm]

Downloading now,.


Thanks for sharing sir! :D

[Dr J]

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?

[mreaglejr]

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.

[ochakov]

Post your suggestions. I am making a list of changes for the next version.

[Dr J]

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.

[Dr J]

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?

[wapvirus]

Thanks works great on my prophet with 6.1 :)

[bedaweed]

i have that problem with calls but its only like 2 seconds not 10

[itsme_4ucz]

Sounds nice. Will try it out. Thanks for sharing.

[ochakov]

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.

[Christian72D]

Nice tool... works goodm i like it!!!

[Dr J]

by "distorted" i mean that the vibe pattern is not quite the same when the phone rings as it is when hitting "test" in the app.

tested a bit further, i've freed up about 7mb of RAM by closing all applications and then called my mobile.

- the 10 second gap must have been due to device memory, it's cut to the default 2secs as you mentioned above, so that is just a device memory issue to do with my Elf juggling lots of things at once, not your app.

- the distorted vibration pattern is happening mainly on first ring (just as the ringtone kicks in) and then seems to sort itself out (mostly - it still vibrates a fraction too long on some "vibes" and ends up a little stuttery), so i'm guessing that this is also to do with my device memory and not your app.

why on earth did they have to make the Elf so weak in spec?? :(


so, all in all, i think the issues are probably on my end rather than any prog bugs. i just thought i'd mention it in case others have similar issues

thanks, and keep up the good work.

[lleheaven]

So cool software that works well on my smartphone WM6.1 (O2 Graphite):)

[nonegiven]

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.

Which registry entry is that?

[eMpTy3000]

This does not work on my Samsung i730. The red incoming call light goes to the pattern of VAlert, but the vibration is still the same as always.

When I go to test, it just flashes the incoming call light and does not vibrate.

Thanks!

[ochakov]

Which registry entry is that?

Get Tweaks2K2.NET
Go to Phone tricks and there you will find "Disable 3s delay in ringtone"

Attached is version 1.11, which must support different device types. I will officially release it tomorrow. Until then, please let me know if works on your i730
Thank you!

[ochakov]

But what registry entry is it?

I have no idea what registry key is responsible for this. I am using Tweaks2k2 anyway, so I wasn't bothering searching for the key.

[bugsykoosh]

Ochakov, can you insert a delay when the app begins so that those of us stuck with the 3 second delay can just add the same 3 second delay to VAlert? I have a Tilt and I've been trying out a bunch of different things and all it's done is remind me that a 3 second delay is totally unacceptable but I've decided I just want VAlert to work:) Thanks

Why don't you just edit the txt file and put in whatever delay that you want?

[bugsykoosh]

There's no real instructions on what the txt means. It's all just lines of either 100,100 or 100,600 but there's no "key" to indicate what either value is...

It's very easy to figure out the txt. Those are simply the durations of vibrate and rest.

[bugsykoosh]

What do the values represent? Is 100,100 an indication to rest or vibrate? Or for 100,600 is one of the value a period of time and the other an rest/vibrate option (like 100 is 1 second and 600 means vibrate)? Thanks for the help

[nonegiven]

vibrate, rest

Just play with the values and you'll quickly figure it out through testing.

100,600 means vibrate for 100 msec (0.1 sec) and then rest for 600 msec

[bugsykoosh]

Thanks- I'll toy around with it but it sounds like a value of 0,3000 would work (no vibrate followed by 3 seconds of rest) to add a three second delay to the start time

[ochakov]

Why don't you solve the issue with the ring delay and add the same delay to the vibration? Don't you want your phone to notify you as quickly as possible?
I am going to find the registry key resposible for the delay and update it upon VAlert installation, so there will be no delay of the ring.

[sibbor]

Thank you! This made my day ;)

[eMpTy3000]

Thank you!

Still does not work on my i730. Thanks for trying and please continue to try.

[Dr J]

is anyone else gonna post their scripts if they come up with a good pattern?

even better, if you make a pattern to match a ringtone, post both of them up!



by the way, i've got Tweaks2K2 and tried to disable the 3s delay. It didn't work.


actually, i found the regedit, changed it, and it cuts out the 3 seconds between each time the ringtone is played, but not the 3 sec delay from the start of the pattern. this means that the ringtone ends up playing wrongly.

back to square one.

[bugsykoosh]

I am going to find the registry key resposible for the delay and update it upon VAlert installation, so there will be no delay of the ring.

If you could solve the ring delay issue I'd be as happy as a pig in sh!t (which I hear is pretty happy). I tried using different suggestions on XDA but the registry tweak only altered the time delay between rings (not the time of the first ring) and the only way to alter the first ring appears to be through use of tweaks2k2.net. Thanks again - it's even more frustrating that there's a ring delay since my phone now vibrates right away then I wait for the ring to begin...

[bugsykoosh]

Sorry- Guess Dr J clarified that even tweaks2k2 doesn't solve the ring delay issue. I tried this on my Tilt and it didn't change the behavior: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109

[Dr J]

just out of interest, are the ringtones you are using on your SD card or on device?

[bugsykoosh]

mine are on the device itself and I've tried it as both a wav and wma

[nonegiven]

tweaks2k2 doesn't work with WM6+ phones.

The only way to decrease the first ring delay is to decrease the slot cycle index.

[Spawnaston]

vibrate, rest

Just play with the values and you'll quickly figure it out through testing.

I installed the v1.11 on my storage card. And tap "test" in the program, nothing happen ....please help...

I have WM6.1 and I tryed both WAV and MP3 ringtones. I don't have 3s delay. I had it before using Tweaks2K2.NET tweak.

I used a PPC phone with unpopular brand name of "QIGI i55". It is a dual SIM cellphone with WM6.0...I have installed lots of third-party software. Most of them worked well except this one..I did change the script file, but still nothing happen...I really want it vibrate in pause instead of continuous..thx.

[ochakov]

The next version will allow manually choose vibration led ID. This should solve the problem for most non-HTC devices.

Vibration is hardware related and is not just a third party software

[eMpTy3000]

I have G-Alarm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422362) installed on my Samsung i730 and the vibration works great with that. There is no way or need to choose the vibration led ID. It just works. I don't know what G-Alarm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422362) uses to control the vibration. Maybe you can get in contact with ageye (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=425797) and find out how it is done.

Thanks for working on this!

[ochakov]

Please check version 1.12 for non-HTC device compatibility. Samsung i730 and other brand owners who had no luck with previous versions, please check and report.

i installed the software in internal memory, then go to "program" folder to run the "valert.exe" file. Then a blank screen with 2 options below..i click "test", nothing happen...

[eMpTy3000]

When I press test I get a flashing LED, but no vibration. On an incoming call I get the same constant vibration I always got, but my LED does do the VAlert pattern.

[technicien]

If something is not clear, abuse my translator. On ASUS P526 WM 6.0, VAlert 1.11 works well, but with one profile there are problems, namely with "Only the Sound", at an entering call the screen of phone lights up and through long time appears CallerID and the sound, sometimes lights up only the screen. If program VAlert is inactive, all is normal. Please, correct it, I understand that the program is intended for change of a mode of vibration, but sometimes it is necessary to change a profile that there was only a sound, and to close the program long enough.

[venery]

Thanks a lot, it works very nice...

you may have PulseVibra_Sorg_Mod in rom, especially, if it is custom one...check if you have pulse vibra settings applet in setting/system...
if so, it may be a problem to use valert..i think..

Hi, the first version worked on my xperia but not these last two versions. Don't know if you fixed this in the last versions but in 1.10 the vibration is active a short period when i have answered the call.

In other ways its a great app.

When the profile "Only the Sound" is active and the program VAlert loaded in memory and when i get incoming call, the phone hangs for 30-40 seconds. After the sound appears. With other profiles VAlert works normaly. Check and correct it, please.

Since there are multiple versions supporting different devices, I am still trying to combine all in one version to release.

New version 1.14 released. Finally, supporting all device types!
Enjoy!

[VaThInK]

Test results with HTC TP: v1.13 is not working at all, however v1.14 fixed this. One thing though, on the HTC TP, when VAlert is running, flipping the phone will not stop it from vibrating. Neither pressing the on screen mute button. They will only stop the ring tone but will keep on vibrating. For me, this is nearly PERFECT! Hopefully you can fix the above minor issue I'm experiencing. Thank you very much for sharing such a great app. :)

AWESOME! VAlert 1.14 works as described on my AT&T Tilt, running WM6.1 (MBarvian's great Solace 1.5b). I've been wishing for an app like this for a lonnnng time, since I always use custom mp3 ringtones.

Many thanks to ochakov!

Thanks for this

It works greate on my cruise :D

thanx but it didn't work on my at&t tilt

It works perfect on HTC Hermes. This was the development device.

[killerm]

Works flawlessly on my XDA/HTC Diamond. Great work, thank you very much!

[jamesbond_28_007]

sorry to be dumb. Found it under Program Files and works fine under 'test' but how to implement it to my ringing? Thanks.

[wapvirus]

Thanks mate works great on my prophet:)

[Revz]

Hi,

i have a HTC VOX flashed with a WM 6.1 clean rom.
The installation of the .CAB cannot be completed, it says "the installation file is not intended for this device"

[DeathAxe]

Great APP man. Works pretty good. The only thing I encountered is a slightly higher memory usage than 11kB. On my device it takes about 96kB of RAM while running.

[meynardo]

Thanks for your work ochakov.
Doesn't work on my Samsung i907 (same as i780).
Only led and keypad are flashing following the pattern, vibration is continuous.
Maybe in the next version. ;)

[kourosh4]

good!
very tanks:)

[ShadowVlican]

omg! i don't know why the idiots at microsoft didn't do this in the first place :mad: when my phone rings, it rings as long as the ringtone... unlike all other phones which have intermittent ringing no matter the length of the ringtone

this program is working perfectly on my HTC prophet (Qtek S200)

thanks so much for this MUST-HAVE program!!!

[Barreto]

This is great app. Thank you very much for developing it and sharing!!

It works great, I just have one suggestion..

I have an HTC TyTN II

As VaThInK said on post #77, when I scroll the side wheel or press the button to mute the ring, the vibration continues.. It would be perfect, if, when the user scrolls the wheel, or presses the mute button, the vibration would stop as well..

Maybe you could include this function in next version?

Anyway, great app!!

[jug6ernaut]

wow idk if u made this or found it but props man this is awesome!

[maximo_lider]

sounds cool:D:D

[KozzioU]

This is truly a great piece of software but I noticed one thing.

When you have an incoming call and you mute it the phone keeps vibrating.

Great, great, great (great) piece of software I've been looking for awfully long time! From the state of perfection only one minor thing divides it - as someone's mentioned before, the phone keeps vibrating even though you press "mute call" button (on Diamond). If this was fixed, I would have absolutely no problem!

[KozzioU]

Bump so ochakov can see it and possibly look into this issue :)

[VaThInK]

I hope he will look into fixing this issue as well. I uninstalled the soft because of this very issue. When TP vibrates it's pretty loud and I use mute feature very often due to work requirement. It's a fantabulous soft nonetheless tho. Can't wait till this get fixed. :(

[.wojtek]

Feature suggestion - ability to edit vibrate pattern for diffrent events besides incoming call (like txt, mms, etc)

[mrbelvedere]

Just to piggyback on the above, same thing happening on my Wing. This is a great program nonetheless! If you could address that issue it would be the shizzle...:D

[wizaard]

I've just sent the "request" to the author hoping something is going to happen.

[reereeizme]

This program works great on my HTC Touch Pro! Thanks sooo much!

[the guitarist]

hi there ochakov ,

thanks for the great APP But i want to report a serious bug in your Valert :

usually with the default settings of the device and while the phone has been set to (viberate and ring). when you're talking with someone on the phone and you get another call at the same time waiting on the line (waiting call) your phone gives some peeps to know that there's another call on the line

BUT with Valert the phone viberates while your talking and while it's near your ear which is really annoying and painful most of the time even the other person you're talking to gets annoyed with the sound of the vibrations.

this is the only bug that keeping me from using your app at the moment i really hope that you can fix it

thanks

[hanackin]

any new on the next release ?

Because it could be great to manage the SMS ans MMS vibration :D

[ExTREmE99]

yeaaa...id love to be able to manage sms vibrations!

[Basf1]

Is there any news about new version?
P.S. Thanks for great app.

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

This app is great. By the way, is there a collection of different scripts floating around at all? Love to switch it up when necessary. Thanks in advance.

[Dr J]

i did one at the start, but nobody else seemed interested enough to share theirs, so i gave up

[MRE-net]

Great application. Using it on my HTC Touch Diamond and works perfectly. Thanx man....

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

i did one at the start, but nobody else seemed interested enough to share theirs, so i gave up

Yeah, yours is the one that I am using (nice job by the way). It helps my distinguish from a text message vibrate or a call vibrate. You don't happen to have any more scripts lying around do you?

[Dr J]

i never made any more as i stopped using the app on my Elf, when a call came in there were issues using S2U2 Call ID, VAlert and a ringtone on my Storage Card, and the horrible lack of memory on the phone.

I've got a Diamond now though, so I might try this again.

If I make any more I'll let you know :)


Edit : Just tried it again, even with the spare memory on the Diamond, it's still sluggish and the vibration pattern is distorted. Can't see me using this again in it's current form.

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

I understand and appeciate the time and effort. And hey, I you ever need someone to take that diamond off your hands, just let me know. :)

[mrobers]

I'm using this app for a few weeks now on my Touch Pro and I am loving it! It really works great and I never had any problems yet! There's only one glitch where I can live with : it also vibrates when you're having a second call while on the phone.

I never made my own pattern, so still using the original one which works fine for me!

Keep on the good stuff !

[orb3000]

Thanks a lot ochakov

[orb3000]

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 (~11K) 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

New version supports more devices, including non-HTC. The installer runs the program upon installation.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that your app rocks. After I installed it and without any configuration done, it has stayed installed ever since. Even with any change in rom, it goes back in. Now I don't miss any call when my phone is in my pocket.

[mrobers]

Just curious; did anyone create his/her own script? If yes; can you post it?

[barev]

Hi ochakov,

thank you very much for this program. This is exactly what I need for my ipaq 514 as it has this annoying bug that vibration doesn't work simultaniously with the ringtone. With VAlert the phone now functions fine as any other phone would do unlike what the shitheads at HP programmed it to. I cannot express my gratitude for this piece of software. I have only one bug report i.e. the cab doesn't install on the smartphone, it says:

"the installation file is not intended for this device"

so I had to unpack it manually. I see another user with HTC Vox reports the same problem.
Maybe you could repack the cab file so it works on smartphone version?

Btw if you wish I may setup a free hosting account for you to host a website for the program and/or host anything you like online. If interested just PM me. This would be the smallest thing I could do to express my delight with the software.

[DeathAxe]

Hi, since I love the valert very much, I decided to cook it into my ROM. Instead of putting a link to startup directory, I added an entry in the registry.

The issue is, that valert shows up its application window on startup, which looks a bit uggly upon boot. May you please try to avoid the application window from being shown upon startup? Thanks very much.

[nheeka]

on my samsung omnia valert testing works, but during the incoming call the vibration is still continuous.... :(


edit: my fault - after soft reset everything vibrates as it should

[tomcraft16]

До установки Valert при входящем вызове при нажатии на качели громкости у меня звонок ставился на беззвучный режим (при этом выключался звук звонка и вибра), то теперь выключается только звук, а вибра остается.
Это не совсем удобно. Можно ли как то сделать чтоб при нажатии качельки вибра прекращалась вместе со звуком?

I am very busy in the last time and had no chance reviewing feedbacks and requests. I decided to make a new version with the following fixes:

1. No vibration on waiting call (while in the middle of other conversation)
2. No visible window on startup
3. Mute ringing should stop vibration

It will take a couple of days to build and test, so stay tuned.

Please check ring mute and report if works properly on different devices.

[Impunitus]

Hello.

Sounds like just what I was searching for but am sad to report it doesn't work on my Touch HD; neither test (doesn't vibrate at all) nor actual call (still continuous vibrate). Soft reset doesn't help.

Apparently the HTC custom app for the volume keys has something to do with it (I'm just guessing since the volume keys app doesn't work properly when VAlert window is active).

I'll be glad if anyone has it working on HD and tells me how.

Cheers,
Rok

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to try it.

[VaThInK]

Thanks for your great work ochakov. Unfortunately I've got a bad news. It's not working on my TP. :( Basically it doesn't work at all even using the test feature. When I select test, my TP doesn't vibrate at all. I hope you can fix this on future version. Looking forward for the next release. Thanks mate.

Is this the first version you try? What device do you have?
If you put an empty debug.txt file in the application folder, you can get debug menu to manually adjust vibration led. Once you do it, it will store the value in the registry and work for future.

[Vladimyr]

the same for me...

the new version is not able to control vibration (in the "test" mode it does nothing, and i feel continual vibration during the ring)
the previous version worked fine!

[tomcraft16]

У меня вообще теперь не работает. Вибра как была неперевная так и осталась.
Предыдущая версия хоть как то работала!

[ochakov]

I tested the new version on two devices.
No changes were performed on the vibration part.

I will try to check the problem in the next days.

Can anybody report this version works?

[hanackin]

the link is missing on the first post can someone put it please :D ?

Ok, bug in version 1.20 was fixed. New version 1.21 was placed on the first post.

Sorry all who tested 1.20 :)

[Barreto]

V1.21 is working great on my Kaiser!

This is a really must-have app, now that the vibration stops when muted!!

Thank you, ochakov!

Нашел баг на даймонде (не знаю как на других). в 1.21 версии программа перехватывает кнопки качельки громкости тем самым блокируя регулировку громкости.

Found a bug in the Diamond (do not know how the other). in the 1.21 version of the program intercepts buttons volume thereby blocking volume.
Sorry for my English.

[exidler]

Great program! Thanks!
But i have a problem: i'm using Inesoft Address Book with it's CallerID. So VAlert does not stops vibrating when i choose mute in inesoft CallerID. May be you can try to fix this? I can try to help you, but don't know how :(

[mrobers]

I've found the same bug! Volume control doesn't work when 1.21 installed :(

Can someone please post the original version so I can reinstall? I deleted it :mad:

I tryed on 2 other devices having volume control, but no problem was found.
I will try to provide a workaround fix in the next version.
Stay tuned.

[fourcc]

you said to set vibrate and ring in phone settings but it is not true. I use phone alarm that sets different profiles with some settings that vibrates and some that don´t and if i use Valert, my device always vibrate using designed vibration pattern although i have set a no vibration profile in phone alarm (Phone alarm also changes phone settings when switching between profiles). So it seems that Valert doesn´t mind if there is a vibration profile or not in phone settings.

Do you think is possible to make Valert run only when the device has a vibration setting active and only in such case?

thanks for this great tool, i can´t use it with phone alarm but thanks a lot anyway.

[Impunitus]

The same bug (new version 1.21) on Touch HD - volume keys are not responding properly anymore. First press (up or down) brings up the volume control, the second press dismisses it.

Seeing how all the newer devices seem to be affected (Diamond, HD, Xperia), could this be related to WM 6.1?

Unfortunately, this is a serious bug which prevents me from using the app. Otherwise, the vibration control now works as advertised.

If you manage to fix the volume buttons bug, I'll be as happy as a clam.

Cheers,
Rok

[wizaard]

True - my Diamond suffers from this problem as well. But (unfortunately) that's not the only problem - in my case (Diamond with 1.93 ROM) the "stop vibrate on call mute" doesn't work - I press "mute" and the vibration continues.

If these were fixed, I have nothing against the app! It's a really must-have app and I hope this will be fixed.

[Impunitus]

the "stop vibrate on call mute" doesn't work - I press "mute" and the vibration continues.

Haven't tested this before, but the same problem exists on my Touch HD as well. So apparently, it's something common to the newer devices; either WM 6.1 or that they are all manufactured by HTC (including Xperia). Weird.

Anyways, Ochakov, I really hope you can patch your app to fix these bugs.

Cheers,

Rok

[Photle]

very good idea. Would love to use this on my xperia, but seems to be some problems with the current version.

My greatest wish however would be to make this program also encompas the SMS vibration (right now the sms (or any vibration for a small event) is very intense and long, kind of suffocates any other sound you have attached to it).

[ruwan7]

The same bug (new version 1.21) on Touch HD - volume keys are not responding properly anymore. First press (up or down) brings up the volume control, the second press dismisses it.



I just installed this on my HD too.. the volume buttons are working perfect.. it mutes the sound and vibration. Maybe there is a conflict with one your other applications installed! :confused:

For me this is working perfect and super! thanks for this app ;)


Oh yeah.. the volume buttons are not working. i thought you were referring to muting the ringing using the volume controls. Sorry pal.

I will release another version to control the settings of the captured buttons to make it compatible with different devices. If I had some other devices to test, it would be easily fixed, but since this project is not commercial, I can not afford myself testing with different devices.

PS. I am using HTC Hermes (JasJam) in my testing environment.

Should you have a test build that needs a test run, do post it here and I'll take it for a spin on Touch HD, then report back. I'm quite certain many people will join in (thus providing you with feedback from multiple devices).

i seach the old version 1.20

thank

[rjmjr69]

I'll test it on a TP Sprint for you

[Baxxx]

Hi!

First: Thank you for your effort in that grat little app!

Unfortunately, the Volume buttons bug in 1.21 applies to my phone as well (Xperia)...

Two further thoughts:
- i second the idea of independently "designing" the sms and the ringing sound
- what i would love to see would be a possibility to combine the "increasing volume" ringing with vibration. WM6.1 doesnt seem to be able to do so (only "ring an vibrate", "vibrate, then ring", "increasing volume" and "ring only", but no "incerasing ring AND vibrate"). Maybe that could be solved by an application like yours....

thanks again
Bax

[wizaard]

The thing is that the "increasing ring" in WM doesn't even work the way it should - it's just another stupid ringing profile that implifies the ring AFTER it plays the whole audio file. So in fact unuseable.

[rjmjr69]

Alright I finally installed this and it is not playing nice with my phone. When the first call comes in after install it seems to work ok BUT you can not ADJUST the volume using the HARD KEYS on the side of my TP the volume control comes up but then disapears if you press again you can use the stylus to adjust though. BUT that is of no help considering once the first call is over the next just constantly vibrates. And I can not find anyway to launch this app in menu?

[ecard]

Super great feature !! I love it :)

BUT, I cannot use my volume control anymore, and my device won't go to sleep/standby. So, I removed it from my startup folder :(

If you can fix those 2 issues, would be so great :D

[i2gh0st]

i think i have hard reset the device at least 10 times to find out what causes the volume keys not to adjust the volume.

same problem here

diamond roms 1.97 ; 2.03 all same problem,
at least now i know where to whait for a fix :)

[kuztardd]

great application, thanks
but should it work with the text/sms vibration too? as it only works with phone calls (xperia phone)

[joeykrim]

after reading through all 186 posts...
i have a new sprint touch pro, for about a week - stock rom - few minor tweaks
just installed valert - did a soft reset - everything went smoothly
confirmed side volume buttons up/down only open volume controls, do not adjust
the vibrate pattern works when I hit test in the program
when i receive a phone call, it does the stock vibrate pattern, long steady, pause, then long steady
not sure why?

for suggestions, along with a few other ppl, supporting sms would be sweet.
i do 10 text to every 1 phone call. to me, support sms alert is more important than phone call alerts. future sms support would be great! :)

Same problems here.

So it's the VAlert! I was wondering what app messed up my volume keys!

I read somewhere that it is possible to write vibration scripts directly to the registry. So if the dev does not show up any more, we might have to do it manually.


EDIT: Here for example:

http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windows_mobile_6_6_1_forum/38147-individueller_ring_and_vibrations_alarm.html

http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forums/windows-mobile-5/16354-windows-mobile-5-0-change-ringtone-vibrate-led-flash-characteristics.html

[Ennsi83]

Does anybody have an old version, in which the volume buttons work with?
It would surely be a very nice program!

I've tried to configure the registry manually, shown in the first link posted from SlappyHours, but with no success!

[i2gh0st]

Changing the registry to vibrate with a pattern and play ring tone at the same time it is not an option, because windows executes that code in an succession for example if u make a pattern for vibrate and in front you put play ring tone first it will play the ring tone to the end and after vibrate.

and the v alert problem is with the manila htc volume control, if you disable it vol control will work, i think i saw that htc uses some scripts for controlling the volume. I don't know how to fix this, i am not a programmer :)

hope if i give u the ideea someone will fix this :)

[Vladimyr]

I see author has not updated this app for a long time.
May be he will reveal it's source, to let somebody else finish the work? ;)

Have a look at TreoVibe

I just want to say thanks to YYYYY for this suggestion. I installed MortScript and TreoVibe, and it works perfectly. It even solved a problem I always had with my phone, a 3 second delay before it starts ringing. now it start vibrating almost immediately.

Thanks

[cvrle1]

Quick question about TreoVibe. What I found is that if I have incoming call while I'm having a phone call already (call waiting) my phone will start to vibrate and the person I am talking to will hear the vibration until I answer the 2nd call.

Any way to fix this?

I am using HTC Touch Diamond.

Thanks

[Rudios]

I've installed VAlert today and read about all the people having troubles with their volume buttons.
My first opinion is that it works great.
I've an Xperia X1 and both when on standby or an a call, i can change my volume only using the volume keys on the side of the device.

This problem appears when using HTC Volume application. However the standard Windows Volume application is working fine even on HTC TP or Diamond.

we really need a fix for the HTC Volume Control issue...

This is a must have app for every htc user but without a fix it's just annoying.

hoping for an update soon

[dancemacabre]

Not good on my Xperia.. the ringtone delayed for like 6 or 10 seconds before ringing.. No vibration at all although i followed the setting @ post 1.

If this can be fix it's a good cab

[kuztardd]

sadly and annoyingly all ringtones are delayed for apprx 3 seconds, regardless of VAlert with the Xperia.

[i2gh0st]

there is a delay in win mobile for 3 sec :) search for a registry tweak

Hi,

I would like to ask a "feature" if it is possible to easily implement in your VAlert program.
I use S2U2 for CallerID program. When I got an incoming call, it is possible to silent the ring tone with the volume up/down button. This function works perfectly, except the vibration does not go to off.

Can you fix this issue?

Thank you!

Any program to customize the vibration of an incoming SMS?

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

Smiley SMS does allow for variations in vibration, but it does allow you to control it vibrates for when you get a new sms.

first of all: great tool, extremely small and working fine!
On my HTC Touch HD it works perfect for incoming calls, but not for SMS. Can it be extended to work for incoming SMS as well? There I've got the same 'problem': an mp3 tone assigned for incoming SMS and the vibration is as long as the mp3: annoying long...

When can we expect the new version with volume control fix?

[Latty]

I'd love a version with the volume fix too.

[HGGN]

Thanks for sharing :)

This is one of the many apps that I love but cannot use. Why? Because it is an ordinary process. So? WINMO can run max 32 processes and will kill the first one if you execute more. What to do?

Solution: This kind of app should be system service

[TheMorpheus]

It works great in WinMo 6.5
Thanks!!

[dionysos77]

I couldn't read the whole thread, is there any release with SMS vibration adjustment capability.

if not yet, any plan of release with that feature ??

[teddyteddy92]

very nice app!
the only problem is that it s lagging on my touch diamond:( so i can't get i synchronized with a song!
any idea if this is a problem of the diamond or only my device because there are too many apps installed and so it hangs up?

The first couple of seconds are unpredictable on my Touch HD and it occasionally speeds up or slows down throughout as well... :(

[Shadow_Nexus]

I just got landed here somewhere from forum's front page... :D
Look like this is a nice app's. Downloading now.......

Thank you...:)

[Geeforce]

Very nice, but.....indeed the volume got stuck on my HTC Diamond.
I really hope this will be fixed.

[Kisu]

It seems not to be working on ROM 2.03 :-( Worked on 1.93 though

Any solutions?

[i2gh0st]

did u remember to set option ring and vibrate, because it does work in 2.03 it works even in wm 6.5

[trjons]

can this e configured for SMS?

[dannyboi1988]

Brilliant tool. Could you please change the instructions slightly to something like : "How to use
1. Install the CAB
2. Soft reset the device or manually run \Program files\VAlert\VAlert.exe
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"
(Taken from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-valert-v1-10.html)

I was staring at my phone for a while trying to figure out why it wasn't working. Turns out the Soft Reset does fix most things :P

Again, keep up the good work.

Cheers

[milos797]

hey, workd on my HD (rom Dutty 6,5 R4) but volume control worked just if: one time touch volume control, volume set up by touch screen. It is not 100% perfekt, but work

[portos03]

thanks..working on hTC touch pro 2 aka Rhodium...

[bjorn78]

tried on my touch pro2 and have the same problems with the volume buttons as reported earlier in this thread.

[vicko5000]

Id give up the HTC volume control in order to use VAlertif i could use something else (for instance the standard pop up volume bubble that windows mobile comes with) Unfortunately i cant firgure out how to use the windows stock volume control nor anyother.
I love VAlert .. wish there was a fix

[Spider84]

Hi!

Can VAlert turn off vibration when I press Volume (Turn off ringtone function) button while Incoming ring in progress?

[bjorn78]

You can remove the htc volume app with this cab:

Excellent program!
Small minus: when use Valert ceases to work switching the cameras on samsung i780.

[NoPH8]

Thank you for a very good program. But there are one bug on the Toshiba G900: when Valert is running, hotkeys at PocketMusic does not work. It is possible to fix? Thank you

[numsmän]

[biomy]

tried to add the above registry key, rebooted, but the volume buttons are still not working for me. I'm on a Touch Pro 2, stock ROM.

[Swaddy]

Ok, my HTC Jade is not a "new device", but this registry key doesn't fix the problem

[phonymike]

Nice app, works great on my tilt, I was playing around for a few minutes and came up with this little piece. in a quiet atmosphere or on a desk people can hear your vibration, I was trying to get different tones and got something pretty close. the key to it is the motor has spin up, so to get a note you'd have to tune it to your motor obviously, but I got a nice little fade in going.

[biomy]

Did any one notice??
its good program, when i test the script file it gives me great result, but when the phone already rings it doesnt play the pattern greatly as in the test, it do some delays that makes the vibration tone sounds silly ! ...

my device is HTC touch diamond..

[gwassef]

Thanks for this program it is really nice, but i have one notice i do not know if i am the only one facing or not, when i have a call and i press on the mute ring buttom, the ring is muted but the vibration is still going on.

[fingerpoppin]

Are you shure the registry key is exactly as you wrote? Maybe
HKCU\Software\VAlert\DisableMuteHook=DWORD:1 ?

Added: I tried this registry key - nothing changed - volume control still glitchy :(

Excellent. Working on i780 wm6.5.3 :D

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)

Program is excellent I have touch pro 2 in that while muting the call the vibration is not stopping. But inbuilt vibration will stop when we mute manually or turn the phone face down. Is there any option to activate this with Valert
Once again thanks for your excellent program

[EET]

Had this for my stock X1, worked well. Now running on my Custom Rom X1 (wm 6.5) Still works well...Thank You ochakov. \m/

[scorpion_1912]

Is it also possible to costomize the SMS vibration?
Or does anybody have another programm to do that?

thank u

This is a great software, but it doesn't work on my Garmin-ASUS M10 with WM 6.5.3.
(it works well on my HTC diamond)

After installing Valert, the phone still vibrates constantly. And it do nothing when running Test mode in Valert.

Does ochakov help to fix it?

many thanks!
