Ok, so on every dumb phone I have ever had you can hit the volume button on the side of the phone to silence the ringer for both incoming calls and SMS. On every WM phone you can only do this for incoming call. Kind of sucks because I want a long sms ringer so if im in the next room it gives me more of a chance to hear it, but it also sucks when you have a 30 second ringer that you cant shut up. So here is my challenge, someone develop and app that will allow you to silence the sms ringer with a button push. I don't have the slightest idea how to go about doing it, but i'm sure someone on here can do this fairly easily.

Mabe this totally isn't what you're looking for, but this is my solution.
I'm using PhoneAlarm. When I have a missed call or SMS, it gives me a
warning every 30 seconds for 30 minutes long.
That would solve you're missed SMS/calls problem.
I'm afraid developing an app for this, is much more difficult.
not really what im looking for but definitely a good solution for the general problem. So anyone know why its so hard to develop an app that can interrupt the sms ringer?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how a can redirect a incomming call to the mailbox when I don't want to answer that call?
I only can decline the call and then the caller gets a busy tone and know that a pushed the call away....
Settings>Phone>Call Forwarding>Get Settings...
Make sure "No Answer" is ticked and diverts to your mailbox number.

Thanx for your help, but that one I know... :lol:
What I want is to stop the phone ringing and push it to the voicemailbox!
Now I have to wait 30 sec before the call is redirect to the mailbox...
In conjunction to "elyl's" suggestion, if you don't want to hear the phone ring, then turn the volume off. Otherwise you need a 3rd party software like Phone Alarm.

but sometimes you just don't wanna talk to a person that is calling you... and I don't mean because I'm busy or something just push it away to the voicemail.
I use Phonealarm but it didn't give me the option when the phone rings (with a certain person I don't wana talk to) push it to voicemail!
So now I leave it ringing and then it goes to the mailbox at last.
I've just tried it on my Magician. If you press the red/end button right after it ring then the call is redirected to the voice mail.
hmmm, when I push the red button it gives a busy tone to the caller...
Thanx for trying
do you have the other call divert (when busy, when out of range, etc.) functions active?
Must be an operator-dependent thing then, cos when I reject a call it gets sent to the mailbox. Dial into your mailbox and see if you can change the settings.

Yes when I don't pick up or when the phone is off it go's to the mailbox.
this is for you......good luck trying to get it to work....i didn't have much time (spend about 1hr trying to get it to work)

Finaly it is working!!
I just re enterd the voicemailbox number and send it again to the telecom provider.... :?
Thanx again for your help and testing...
great to know that you have it finally working
One day I learned (by accident), that if you use the hardware volume button while the phone rings, it will mute the ring tone. That way, you can let it "ring" in silence for the duration of the 30 seconds before it forwards to your voice mail.
I use the vol down in these situations, but I think it also mutes on vol up.
hi, i was wondering if already exist a software that allow to turn off the mobile alarm just speaking to the phone, saying a word previously learned..
i.e. "ok" or "shutup!!" or "f*c*o*f" or clapping hands...
is there any software has the option to do this?
I think the software might have a tough time listening to your voice, WHILE the alarm is going off... don't you think ?

I was thinking along the lines of STFU
but NRGZ28 is right. It might be a little difficult to isolate your voice from the alarm. Even M$ Voice Command, which in my opinion is one of the best voice recognition softwares for PPC had a really hard time understanding me when I was either outside, driving in my car, or around any type of outside sound...
Maybe with the right filters, who knows?
I would LOVE such an application...
Rather than trying to filter out the problem, I'd try for an "on off" solution. The programs listens when the alarm isn't sounding. The alarms beeps for like 2 seconds, then pauses to listen for 2 seconds, then beeps for two seconds, then pauses to listen for 2 seconds. It'd go like:
BEEP - BEEP - BEEP - BEEP [---------pause-------] BEEP - BEEP - BEEP - BEEP, etc.
good idea. that would work.
Lol i already imagine how my ppc rings every morning and i keep crying " shut the dam **** up" XD
You know those guys who trows their alarm clock onto the wall? My voice would do same^^
Please!!! Any good coder built something like this!
RedRamage had a good idea...but...
when i call using the speakerphone my friend doesn't hear his own voice..so i think it would be possible to make the ppc not to hear the alarm ring or the music it is playing
btw...i think there's not any software cas do this already, right?
Great idea
This is a great idea for an app. It would be a bad idea for me because I would just shout and then go back to sleep! Maybe someone knows how echo cancellation works in Skype for WinMo.

I just find that the ringer is often not loud enough for me. Maybe it's my ripe old age of 32 that has brought me to this point of degraded ability but if I leave my phone downstairs or vice versa, I usually won't hear it ring. Worse is the one time sound notification, that's rather short in my opinion, for SMS's. Both of these are even worse if I forgot to remove my phone from the protective sleeve.
I searched and only found people having issue with the volume in relation to calls but no mention if I could increase ringer volume above what is currently selectable. Is there any way to increase this volume and/or extend the ring time for the text notifications?
http://www.wirelessinfo.com/content/T-Mobile-G1-Cell-Phone-Review/MakingReceiving-Calls.htm
According to that website, they tested the G1 ringer volume and found it to have the lowest dB of all the phones they tested.
Is it that speaker is underpowered? Is it possible that we may be able to re-encode the ring tones with a higher volume to help compensate?
I don't think it has a low volume... I think it has to do with what you are using because it is just as loud as my Wing when playing music.
What I'm using? As in which ring tone? I've tested several different ones and they all seemed the same to me. Do you have any suggestions?
I have the same problem frequently, it isnt that you dont hear the rings or notifications, they actually dont play at all. I have had this happen with my phone on in front of mewith a great signal, and I call it from another line. It "rings"(but never does), finally ending in a voicemail. When I hang up and check the G1 it shows a missed call and voicemail.
Unfortunately there is no fix, just a reminder that you bought a phone that shouldnt be expected to work until the system is given time to mature. Until then, you either return the phone, sell it, or live with its limitations. (or so I have been told)
No, I have that happen too, but I do frequently have it ring just not loud enough for me to hear it. I know because my girlfriend often has to tell me when it's ringing if I've left it in another part of the house.
I have also noticed that the ring volume isnt great with the standard wring tones. Using mp3 ringtones is better.
Notifications do sometimes seem buggy. I have had no notifactions with messages when i have had the message application open. Not even vibrate.
I have missed calls installed now for notifications and it seems to not happen anymore.
Theres also a program out in the market that allows you to create your own ringtones from full songs. You could just cut a song into a small section and use that for messaging.
Its called ringdroid

The down-side to this feature of the program is, the notification light will stop. If you check your missed calls, texts, so on from the bar on top.
You have to actually open the "programs" manually to keep the notification light working.
Ex. if you get a missed call, instead of pulling down the notification bar to check. Press the call button once.
if you get a text, open the messeging inbox using the messeging button or SMSChomp button.
Try to limit how often you have to pull the notification bar down.
Pulling the notification bar DISABLES ALL notifications of all kind.
The text message tone will keep ringing till the end.. how do i end it? In diamond, I can simply press the end button but now since the end button acts as the power button, i couldnt use the method anymore... Any idea anyone?
i have the same problem please help the ringing will drive me crazy!!!!
I also have the same problem.Any ideas for this??
Sr for my bad english.
Who said you to put a 5min mp3 as message tune or anything longer than 4 sec :S.
Go edit it first, then put it.
I am using Shine, so stop thinking that you wont know when you get a message because you'll, as i do easily. If you have plans to show your neighbors that you got a message then be my guest...

I think that counts as rude...
I believe that there are situations where by you leave your phone in the bag, or another room and won't get to hear the incoming message and it'd be nice to have the ringtone ring until you hear it.
Just that you don't want it to continue ringing when you pick it up and start reading the sms while listening to the ringtone...
Editing the ringtone to 3 to 4 seconds doesn't help... Gothik, I think u're being very narrow minded and stereotyping...
If you dont like something/doesn't please your 'mind', that doesn't mean i am being rude or whatever is that stereotyping thing.
and every sane one knows messages ring-tone should be short, not full songs.
Certainly i am no girl and have no experience with haivng a phone in the bag :S...
On other hand i tried it, works fine on my cell, so flaw in your ROM.

Is it possible to decrease the vibration when someone calls or new sms is received?
I would like to have vibration for case I don't hear it, but default power is too much for my taste, it is like an earthquake if the phone is on the table made of glass

I don't think it's possible to change the actual vibrate settings. I've asked a few times on here and no-one seems to be able to help. It is an annoying feature of the phone
It is ok when vibrate reminds me...but not in such power...

Wow actually its a advantage for me.... i actaully it takes powerful vibrator to wake up monoster like me
Hi all!
This is my first post, but I've been reading the forums for a long time and I'm happy to be able to help.
I have noticed that the vibration time is linked to the lenght of the played sound. If you have a long tune for the SMS then the phone will vibrate for a longer period of time. If you have a very short "blip" then it will vibrate one or two seconds...
I hope this helps you!
