Getting rid of the Voicemail notification and ring - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So any ROM I run that isn't sense, like CM6 or DS 2.8, I get this terrible, annoying, loud ringtone every time the phone starts. It thinks I have three unread voicemails (I have none) and constantly bugs me about it.
It's starting to drive me nuts, and I'm considering going back to Sense rom because they do not have this issue. I just want the notification to go away, but there is no option for it anywhere in the call/voicemail settings.
I need this to end before I chuck my phone out a window.

Default notification sound, change it lol.

Also turn off SD card notifications, that's the one that really pesters me...

Doesn't do it. This is a ringer separate of my notification sound. Trust me, I get other notifications; I would change it to a sound of my liking if I could. I basically ransacked the options menu, this "feature" isn't listed anywhere.

Any luck?
I know this is a bit outdated, but did you ever find a solution to your problem?
I have a rooted Samsung Fascinate and whenever I get a new voicemail I get this constant ringing until I check it. It's not the same sound as the normal ringtone or notifications. I can't find any settings anywhere that can adjust it.
So far you're the only one I found with the same issue.

Too much SMS vibrate

Is there anyway to make it vibrate for a shorter time when a text arrives?. At the moment the vibration makes as much noise and disturbance as having the ring tone on- not so good when you are trying to be discreet.
I hate to bump such an old message but does anyone have a solution for this? I did a search and can find only options for Ring vibrate changes... the SMS vibrate I have on this ROM is long and annoying. Before, I had just 3 short bursts.... Honestly, I would like just 1 short one!
If you go to start, settings, sounds and notifications, you can configure some things, but not set 3 vibrations to one, but you can set the vibration off

You may as well put it on silent then?
what you need is a registry change. Which one though is a question I can't answer.
I have the 1.3 NmLs rom, and set on vribation, i only get one vibration, for a few seconds.
I was also wondering if someone could point me to the registry change for sms vibrations. On Dutty's older roms, I had 3 short bursts.... on his version 4 ROM, its a longer single one. I really would like a short discreet one....
I am sure there must be a way. Heck you can even control the haptic feedback on some keyboards like finger keyboard 2.1.... Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

I have a solution but there's a catch. It's only a workaround and only allows *.wav files as ringtones.
You can configure your own virbation sequence. It's not user friendly though
after installation you will have some new files under /mydocuments
among those are
v100.vibrp files. These are scripts containing the *.wav file for the sound, and the ringing sequence
You can then select those virb files as if they were normal ringtones in your sound settings
you can alter the ringing sequence to whatever you like - it requires some trial and error. You can alter the wav files as well.
I can upload a file which results in 3 short vibrations if you can't manage to configure it.
Is there seriously no easy registry fix for this? In my current rom the vibration is for like 1234312 seconds and it really annoys me and the rest of the world.
there is none, but my above fix works just fine

Is There Something Better For Notifications? (Stock Stinks!!)

Hi,
I have been searching and looking for something to replace the mechanism for notifications on my TP CDMA (Sprint).
When my calendar notification, SMS notification or voicemail notification activates, its a tiny icon in the status bar at the top, which I have to tap multiple times and then I get the annoying HTC status screen and then I need to tap the icon for VM, or alert to see what my notification is...
I find this very annoying and its easy to miss important notices.
Isnt there a better way? Ideally, something that would automatically play a ringtone and display a window on the screen (even after standby) until I dismiss it....
Does anyone know of something like this?
Thanks!
If you go into Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> Notifications
You can configure how the phone notifies you about each event, so for a SMS you'd set for it to "Display Message on Screen"
Granted this is not a huge amount a flexibility and a lot of the time the pop up dissapears and one would have to click up at the status bar again to get it down, yet it is still options.
I haven't looked into differenet notification programs / systems as I am quite content with the stock ones just changed to my liking.
Personally, I hate the pop up, always comes up in the middle of something and just gets in the way.
Is there any way to actually change the look of the bubble ???? I'd ideally like it to be centered on the screen, instead of at the bottom. Also, if you looked more like a bubble, or something else, that would help too. I've been Googling around for about half an hour, and have found NOTHING except changing the bubble color on iPhone and some apps for changing those.
Why aren't there any on WM ????

Francarl is working on trying to change the look of the bubble Check out FingerMenu in the Dev & Hacking section. It should look something like that if it works.

I just set everything to vibrate and flash. I have rlToday setup with 4 BIG finger friendly icons for SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and Voice Mails at the bottom of my Today screen... with their respective counters. A Vibrate and Task icon is enough already. Looking at the today screen will let me easily see anything I need to worry about.
rlToday is a today plugin based on XML which you can create to look like anything you want. Highly customizable.
dontforget works but appears initially to conflit with s2u2 so I'm using dontforget insdtead. hope to find a way to do both.

I hate how I have to constantly go back and turn on "display" for reminders. It disables itself all the time.
dontforget is doing that? not had that issue.
Hey, i have used PhoneAlarm for a few years with past phones, just loaded it on my new Verizon TP, works great as usual. It is not free, ($15 i think), but has been well worth it. Google PocketMax PhoneAlarm (you want the pro version). It is very customizable (skins, custom sounds and intervals for different events), has profiles that can change alarms based on your location, meeting status, or manual selection, and supports TF3D. It also supports a popup on new event and with the notification softkey that allows you to easily click and address the event. I started using it because it allows custom repeat alarms (different sounds after a certain period of time as well as custom intervals). I needed something to alarm pleasantly a few times then an obnoxious alarm every 20 seconds to wake me while sleeping. I'm a paramedic in sometimes remote locations dispatched via this phone, so i NEED to get messages. I've tried several others and always come back to PhoneAlarm. Just my 2 cents...

How do I get rid of the "Battery 100%" notifications?

I upgraded to official ATT Froyo yesterday, and was hoping that they were going to give you an option to turn off the "battery full" notification bar symbol, pop-up notification, and sound alert, but they did not unfortunately. Is there an app, or script I can run that will turn these notifications off? It's driving me crazy.
I asked the same question earlier. No responses though. I'm hoping you have better luck than me!
Try this and let me know if this helps. Try first one, check it out, and then the second one if the first one isn't successful.
Trial 1:
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Trial 2:
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.

[Q] Anyone know how to disable these things..

Hey guys, sorry if this has already been posted, i know double posts are silly and a waste of time, but the search function isn't working right now and my phone is driving me nuts haha
okay, i just got this captivate, i came from an HTC Desire to this phone, and when i got a message on my desire, it just made the sound and the indicator light came on. now i know the captivate doesn't have an indicator LED, but is there a way to stop this screen from turning on everytime. i use the no lock app and when it turns on in my pocket i start swyping.. hahah
oh, and this battery notifcation thing where it plays my notification sound super loud at 3 in the morning beside my head while i sleep.. can i turn that stupid option off too??
thanks in advance!
For the SMS notifications, I would try installing the app called ""SMS Pop Up".
You can control much more options for SMS notifications that way. But after you download it, make sure you disable the normal SMS notifications under:
SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
This is so the phone won't send you two notifications on two different apps. (The SMS Pop Up app isn't really an SMS app itself, but you get what I mean).
As for the battery notification, I would have no idea... Most of the custom roms I've tried have battery full notifications turned off as a default (cos it's pointless and stupid).
Yeah i noticed a lot of roms have it disabled, if your just rooted and dont' do roms does any one know what you do to disable it?
Is it editing a database or something?
For the battery notification, you can put your phone on silent out just turn notification volume all the way down otherwise I don't know, it isn't present in the froyo update
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time
For SMS notifications I would use NoLED, not sms pop up. For not hearing the full battery notification I would use sound manager to turn off notification sound at the time you desire
Thanks peeps

Issues with Brand New Note 9

I got my Note 9 about five montsh ago and it has several strange issues that I never had on phones that weren't nearly as good. Here are some of the issues (I'd appreciate any help):
1. The ringtones, notifications, and alerts go off on top of each other and also while I'm talking on the phone or have the text application opened. I'm texting someone and they text me and the notification sound will go off though I have the text open. Or notifications and alerts will overlap: a text comes through and while it's notifying me, another text (same or different person) comes through and the notification goes off. Or two emails (same or different email accounts) come in back to back and their notifications will overlap.
2. The ringtones and alerts will suddenly go silent. I often restart my phone when this happens which might fix it for a while but then it's back to doing the same thing. Either the notifications completely go silent (I think it might at least vibrate but I don't remember) or they get quieter than the volume I set them to. Also, sometimes the notifications will simply start working off the media volume rather than the notification volume. I mean, wth.
3. There's a pause or freeze sometimes, like with some text functions (eg. changing individual notifications or opening options for individual text chats).
4. I have seven 'home screens' with widgets rather than just one, but when my phone starts up, it starts on one of the screens and not on my actual (main) home screen. No idea why.
