SMS Tones - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I am using a custom wav file for my SMS tone. The problem I have is that if the PDA volume is muted then the SMS tone it not audible.
Is there any way around this?

what device ?
because in ppc2002 there is only 1 vol slider
but in 2003 there is one for the phone and 1 for the pda
not sure if it's the phone one which deside the sms recieve sound
though

XDAII using 2003
There are 2 sliders but the SMS tone seems to be controlled by the PDA volume.

then you have to unmute your pda
or have some program run in the background which
unmute the pda if a sms is recieved

do u know of such a program? i like to keep the pda muted most of the time

sorry no
but you could look around on the free and shareware sites

SMS alert

Have anybody found the solution for
'using a wma file for my incoming SMS, but when a message arrives and i am reading it, the wma file just keeps playing. Can i set this in such a way that when i open the message, the music stops?'
crop the song.

I think crop means to make shorter.

They don't go in your rings folder they just go straight into the windows folder and then that way you can access them
sms notification
I have an xda2i, does anybody else's give off an sms sound but there is nothing in your inbox, no notification on screen but an sms has been sent to you?
I don´t know how you can choose wma ringtones for sms because when I put them in windows folder they simply aren´t displayed in the list. And I have another problem, when I receive an sms my Qtek 2020 doesn´t ring whatever is the ringtone I choose. It just makes one sound just like a single note. Anyone knows a fix or something else? My ROM version is 2.06.00WWE, Radio version is 1.14.00 and ExtROM is 2.06.100a.
Thanx

Managing sounds and notifications

Is there any way of making my magician play my normal message tone, but shutup when I open it? (I have a long message tone - and I want to keep it) also would like to know if there is a fix for stopping full message alerts when in a call, and maybe change for a discreet tone.
message alert tone
Soory to other you but nobody is answering my blog, and you seem to have solved my problem. When i try to change my message alert tone ,hte only options i am given are the default message alerts, ive tried copying tones into the windows ring folder but still only get default tonesthe previuos process works fine for my ring tone, can you help?
Your notifications have to be in wav format. Or they will not work.
-This goes into the /windows folder
Ringtones can be in midi/wav or mp3 format
-This goes to the /windows/ringtones
Here are some wav files I made which you can try out

M3100 Questions on Sounds and Ringtones

Hi,
I have just upgraded to a M3100 on Orange..
When I receive a text message the tone is too loud and the call ringtone is ok. Is there a way to reduce the loudness on the sms tone and leave the call ringtone as is?
Also, where should I store custom sms and rington MP3's and WAV's?
I have just one other question, is the a SIM Unlock program freely available for the Hermes on Orange?
Thanks
Mark

Ring tone Dilema

Hi All,
The ring tone on my M700 seems to cut out after 2 seconds..... The vibrate will still continue but the sound stops.
I have tried different ring tomes including the default wavs and it happens to those too.
I'm not using MP3's as ring tones and the RingTone0 script is correctly set "avpw0r" in the registry.
Anyone seen this before ?
It did work fine untill i flashed WM5 back after trying Mun's WM6.

sorry nogs - i assume that the tone you are using is longer (eg., when played with windows media player), than what you are hearing when it rings...?
also, sorry to be slightly O.T, but how did you set your ring tone to use an MP3? can you do the same with notification tones such as for a new text message?
Hi,
Yea the tone is about 30 seconds long and plays fine if you go through the phone option in system.
The above post says i'm using wavs for ring tones, not MP3's. You cant assign MP3's to SMS notifications. I may be wrong there as there may be 3rd party apps that allow you to do this pocket phone ZEN may be one of them.
Anyways i think it may have something to do with MS Voice Commander trying to announce the callers name but failing.

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...

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.
