Default Faria WM6 ROM - vibrate on new message when in standby?

Anyone else having an issue with the Wizard not vibrating on receipt of a new e-mail when the device is on standby? Does anyone know if this is correctable with a tweak to the registry or somewhere else or if it's a bug in the OS files themselves? Does anyone on the MB or aRTM ROMs have this problem?

When the device/screen is on, I'll get a vibrate notice on new e-mails, but not when it's on standby.

I'm having no issues with anything else in this ROM and it's a keeper even if I don't get the vibrate working, but it sure would be nice to get that working.

Thanks.

-Pete

Yes, that's set. Everything works fine except when the device is on standby. If I'm actively using it or the screen is otherwise active, the device vibrates on new e-mail as expected. When it's on standby and I receive a new e-mail, nothing happens.

Ditto. I have the same prob. Sounds but no Vibe. BUT, Faria's ROM is so far THE BEST that I have used yet (and I've used a lot).

Well, good to know I'm not alone. I've said it before - I don't think this is a problem with Faria's build particularly, but more than likely something in the ROM/OS itself. I like everything else about the ROM and am not considering switching back at this point. It's just disappointing that this one feature doesn't work right now.

Still, if the WM6 release was actually a year ago, it could have just been a bug in WM at the time that has since been resolved. I know that WM5 1.18 had this issue and it was fixed in the 2.* releases. Hopefully this will be similar (and we'll actually be able to get the fix when it's GA).

Same problem here, the Molski AKU 3.2 rom had the same problem, the AKU 2.3 was working. A lot of people got this problem, nobody knows what the problem is (even the official NL Tmobile rom got this problem)

This isn't unique to just Faria's WM6 ROM. I've tried both MBE and mUn's aRTM ROM and they both had the same problem. Push e-mail isn't as common yet as the old POP3 pull e-mail and I suspect that more people aren't reporting the problem because of that.

As was mentioned by others, I imagine this will be fixed in future releases of WM6 since it was an issue with earlier releases of WM5 and wasn't fixed until the AKU 2.* releases.

I know, but I still think it is strange that this problem keeps coming back. Isn't there anybody who knows how to fix this problem? That is one of the key features of WM and a lot of people want to use this feature.

(and yes, it will be fixed in the future but I want to know what the problem is )
