Enable the Repeat Check box for voice mail and missed call notifications

So as you may have noticed in Windows Mobile 5 that the “Repeat” check box for voice mail, missed calls & New Text Messages is disabled. In other words, without the fix below you can receive notifications only once if you missed a call, received a voice mail or text message…hopefully you are not in the bathroom away from the phone when that notification arrives!!

Needless to say I am just annoyed at the fact that it is disabled so I went on to figure how to fix this issue and with a little trial and error, I stumbled on the following Registry hack solution. So, as always; be careful and backup your data before you do this. Oh and yes you do need a registry editor.

In order to resolve the issue, you only need to change the value of the “Options” key under the following registry paths to "1337":

For Voice Mail:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D661-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

For New Text Messages:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

For Missed Calls:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}

Now I did not test this in other phones other than my own so another way for you to make sure that you are in the correct path for each of the above categories try to check the value given to the “(Default)” key under each one of the paths above. The value should be clear enough in English to tell you what you are looking at. I.e. The value for New Text Messages is “Messaging: New text message”

Good Luck
