Does anyone know how to stop the ringer for my text messages to stop ringing so long? I cut it like a regular ringtone, so its like 20-30 seconds and I can open the message, slide up the screen and send a reply and it will still be going. The only way to stop it is to lower the volume while its ringing and turn it back up after its done. Is there a trick in the settings or a way in the registry??
Also, on my A630 I was surprised when I first found out that, for instance the ringer that goes off for my girlfriend when she called would also go off when she sent a text message...on this phone, which is far superior, only the default text message ringtone plays no matter who it is, is there a way to change that??
It will play the entire SMS wav file. no way of stopping. So, put a short one there.
No, as far as I know of customizing SMS alert tone to contacts.
any kind soul can advise is it possible to select a mp3 for sms tone??
if can, how to do it??
tks alot
Yes it is.
Put the .mp3 or .wav file into the phone's \My Documents then select it as usual in the "sounds & notifications" window of the personal tab of control panel. Look for "Messaging: New text message" and assign the .mp3.
mp3 as new message arrives...
Hmmm, be careful. If you're mp3 file is "long" or
over 15 seconds, it will become annoying because it
will play the entire song even if you answer or view
your new text message. Please confirm this, as this
is what I observed on my HTC HD.
yep
Tested it with a guns n roses song and you are right it kept playing after i read the text, will try shortening the song or look for an app that can control this problem
Sorry if this seems like a couple of daft questions but I can't seem to find them out myself.
1) Is there a way to make the notification sound different for a text and an email. Right now if I receive either I hear the same sound, with the number of emails I get a day I tend to ignore it which now results in my not seeing I have a text till a couple hours later.
2) Is there some way to see how many texts and calls I've made over a set period of time? All the phones I've had before would give totals for me which I could then reset but I can't find that in this phone. I've downloaded an app called Phonalyzr but it doesn't do what I'm really after.
on the first point, go to Messages, press Menu --> Settings --> Select ringtone
same for email
hmm i dont seem to be able to do that. When I change the notification sound in either the messaging app or the default phone settings it changes in both. I dont have the option to change it in mail (I use activesync btw).
Its very annoying to have the same sound for both.
The notification sound set in the main phone settings will be for anything on the phone that you haven't set a different one for.
If you then go to messages and in the first messages window with "compose message" at the top, press menu / settings /scroll down to notication setting and choose select sound - you can then choose a different sound for messages.
There's currently no option to choose a different sound for gmail or mail as far as I know.

but when i open my Gmail, Menu, Settings, i get the Choose Ringtone option....first is Default Ringtone, then others :/
You are right Suisen - Thanks - Meant the HTC Mail one, but of course you can change the gmail notify to a seperate one. I just not done it on my Hero.
With most progs, if the app itself allows you to select a sound it'll have its own, but if not, it plays the one you choose in main Phone settings.

Cheers for that, now I know when to actually look at my phone when it makes a sounds
I set my default notification ringtone to Guitar 2.
However it only plays when I receive emails. When I receive SMS, another ringtone plays (The default one that comes with the phone). No matter how many times I change it ... It just seems to play that one tone.
make sure you check it in your SMS program as well (open the program, menu>settings)

its the way windows mobile operate, its not device specific, a workable solution is to make a ringtone 5-10sec something short just go give you an idea of the song..thats what i use to do but im tired of the whole music for sms(on any phone), plus it annoys everyone around me so i just stick to the generic alerts
I'm not an HD2 user, but this caught my interest, the HD2 has the ability to set a call ringtone and a sms ringtone seperate for a contact? Would anyone know if this is an HTC setting or a something? I'd love to be able to do this with my TP2 without using a 3rd party app if at all possible.
are there any tweaks to this problem?
angeldeath, i am sorry i cannot help u on your question. maybe u can ask in other threads.
I will check this out on my phone right now..
My brother just called me and said that he added a whole song as his sms ringer and now his HD2 TMOUS freezes half way thru the song.. He has to soft reset after that..
My GF says that if she gets one sms song starts playing, then gets another sms 4 secs later, same song starts playing but initial sms song doesnt stop so they overlap.. Once she actually open the sms is when they stop..
There should be an option where u can just hit any button to stop the sms ringer as you can silence an incoming call.
Ok so here is what happened.. I added a super long mp3 song as my sms ringer.. send me a txt.. phone started ringing sound doesnt go off unless i actually open up the message. i left it ringing.. phone went to sleep more and ringer still ringing, then once ringer was over, phone didnt wake up anymore..
had to soft reset..
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone will only sound for 3-5 secons...
SMS alter tone

My problem is that SMS does not ring. I have set a tone and it will never give me the alert.
Any help on this?
Sunil
Come on guys!!
Take a break!!
If u really need this particular song for a sms, just trim the hell out of it making it less than 10 secs max!! U could do that by any prog on the PC (i use acoustica mp3 audio mixer) or simply by using mp3 trimmer on the phone directly which i also use!!!
For ppl who will be asking about where to place the ringtone for sms to work, just place it in the root directory of "my documents"!!
I've trimmed my mp3 to a few seconds.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it does'nt.
Most of the time it hangs on sms.
My supplier changed my ROM to Energy ROM. The ring tone will stop when I access to my sms but still it's not functioning properly. It still hang now and then.
I then us the standard avaliable ring tone. I found out that if the ring tone (even with the standard avaliable) is too long, the sms will still hang.
I now use a short standard ring tone, with vibrating on and it looks like it's working, but I'm not 100% sure if the sms will hang again!
But I still have a problem with charging. I hangs sometimes.
Pls help.
