I'm not sure where to post this. But I wanted to know have anyone ever found out if we have the capability to put a long ring tone for a text and able to press a button to stop it? If im not clear let me know
thanks
i've noticed the same thing. i can send a response text before the 'new text message' sound stops playing. very irritating, and i cannot find anything about it, either.
you have no idea how Ive looked for a solution for this... I finnally settled for short ringtones for sms... If you have NERO 6 ULTRA EDITION ON YOUR PC and use the NERO WAVE EDITOR APP, or even windows movie maker, it's possible to "cut" audio files and save it on .wav format, its the only solution I have found for this
Thank you both. Its only with windows mobile phones too. but I guess I'll have to stay with the short ringtones

Hey all just got some questions regarding my O2 XDA-II mini:
Firstly, how do you set a background properly? I've got the mode as 640x480, but when I try and set the today background the picture is too big and the opacity is really light and it doesn't auto-size to fit as the background. And if I try and set it a different way, the pictures comes up but it's too small, but clear. Any other ways to fix this?
And with messaging, is there a way I can have my own custom SMS receive tone? I want to record a tone from my computer and set that as my SMS receive tone, anyone know how to do that?
Cheers!
Anyone?!
Come on... i'm sure some people on this forum can help me?!?!?!
Duffman, did you look around for this info?
I don't use this kind of stuff, but I understand that MortRing does this - infact, the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20711&highlight=mortring is called "MortRing - ringtones and SMS sounds per contacts/category".
Also this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mortring
is called "SMS Ringtones?" and says
as far as i know you can only use .wav format audio....... if you have something you want to use, then copy the files into your /windows directory, dont put them in seperate folder, just into /windows
then when you select all your different sms alerts, you can see the files you placed in the directory , in the list to select.....

Re the background image. How are you getting 640x480? Using nydiot or something? Normal magician is 320x240. I don't use a background image, but I think it doesn't stretch to fit the background, it just tiles them, so you need a background image of the correct size to begin with.

i got a new problem now - when i push the 'record' button on the side of my phone it does not bring the recoridng menu/folder up! why is this?!?! thanks..
ok i got a few problems with my phone now which i'm pretty angry and confused about:
1) when i push the screen on button, it takes around 1 second or more to actually turn the screen on. why does it take so long, it didnt take that long before?
2) my record function is f*ked!!! when i push the 'record' button on the side of the phone it doesnt bring up the folder/menu like it used to. and when i record things now and try and play it - it wont play!! but i can play previous recorded stuff. for example
TEST
Record1
when i click on test, it plays. but when i click on Record1 there is no play button, and when there is the play button, it plays the 'TEST' file, or the last file that i have played. wtf is wrong?
please help me people!!! i havent even had this phone for a week!
ok ive managed to fix that problem. now i have a problem when i start my camera by pushing the 'camera' button. it takes about 30 seconds to load the damn thing and freezes the screen while its at it. why is this? it never used to have this problem? its a great phoen but recently i'm running into a lot of bloody problems with it!!! :evil:
DUFFMAN
You seem to answer most of your own posts..............
Every time i send a text message i get a bell and a box come up telling me my remaining credit. This is all very well but i cannot silence this bell. Even if i turn all the volume sliders onto silent and uncheck the play sounds boxes in the sounds settings.
anyone help me get rid of this ?
thanks.

proud new owner of o2 xda mini s
anyone help with this ? i thought i must be able to just delete the wav it uses (notify.wav) but its in the rom and doesnt go.
It's really annoying that even with the vol sliders all the way down and the sound unchecked this sound STILL plays
anyone help ? please !!
I had the same problem with the message sent sound, it really got on my nerves! Just create a silent wav sound in Nero wave editor or a similar application and then transfer it to your wizard's windows directory to overwrite the existing one. sorted!
tried that, i created another notify.wav but cos the original is in rom it wont let me overwrite
ok following a recommendation to use total commander to do the copying, i did, and it worked.
Not sure how, as the original file is a read only file in ROM but nevertheless it worked. Windows explorer using the pc to browse/copy whilst synced wouldnt do it.
Cheers,

Hi. I've been searching threads for the past two days trying to find the answer because I was sure that this has been asked before, but I couldnt find any threads dealing with it.
SO
My question is: Is there any way to set a custom SMS ringtone on my WM6.1 device that will stop playing when I read the text message? I am able to set the ringtone, but it plays through the whole song, even after the message is closed. Does anybody know what to do?
NOTE:
I am using an XV6800 (VERIZON)
ROM VERSION: 3.57.605.1 (MR1 UPDATE)
I don't know of a way to make the full song stop, but you can make the song shorter. Download Audacity on your PC http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and us it to cut the song down to the desired length. It's a good audio editing program and it's free.
Use Myxer. Download your song from your comp, make it as short/
long as you want and then send it to your phone. This is the link https://www.myxer.com
Assign custom message tone in WM6
Windows mobile is infuriating in just this way; that simple-to-do tasks are made a nightmare, if possible at all. As it is WM6 comes with no way to just select your sound file and set it as your message tone, however it is possible to do what you're after.
copy/send the sound to your device, you can put it anywhere.
open File Manager
Find your file and use menu > edit > copy
go to My Device > Application Data > Sounds. Paste your sound here.
It will now show up on the sounds list. Hope this helps
Works!! Thank you!!
Hi all,
I am using Elfin for past 4 months.
Earlier i used to put my own ringtones in folder "/Application Data/Sounds" and they worked.
But for past 1 month, no external ringtone put in "/Application Data/Sounds" is working. whenever i set my ringtone through Settings->Phne->Ring tone, it automatically sets it back to Ring-WindowsMobile.
I tried putting ringtones in /windows folder. but still i can only see those in Settings->Phne->Ring tone list and not able to set it.
somebody please help
------------------------
Whenever i try to open any ".mid", ".amr", ".3gp" or ".mp4" file, Windows media player open and displays error msg
"No Combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
'.mp3' and '.wmv' files play well in Windows media player
somebody please help

Hi Kaplesh Patil,
1. Did you install any new softwares in your device after which this issue came.
2. Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties.
3. How do your rip those file. Do you use any specific software to do it.
4. If possible can you attach one of your not working file.
Hi HDR87
1. I keep on installing softwares. so its difficult for me to guess after installing which software this problem has started
2.Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties
???? what do u mean by check, i mean how to check.
3. i usually rip .mp3 ringtones by SoundForge. but what i am saying is all same files used to work fine before. but now they have stopped working.
4. Even built-in (factory) .mid, .amr and .mp4 also not playing with WMP.
5. to aggravate my problem, now even built in ringtones like Ring-WindowsMobile have also stopped ringing
It sounds to me like you have something you installed that is causing conflict. You will have to try to figure out what it was that you installed- Try by trial and error remove an app you installed see if it works and so on. Start with apps that are related to the devices audio capabilities - I have read about several people having problems with SRS WOW application.
Note that if you installed an app that created a Registry change, it is possible that even uninstalling the app may not change the Registry values back to normal and if this is what has caused the problem than only a hard reset would work (unless you can figure out which Registry values you need to change and what you need to change the values to.
Sorry I can't be of much more help; however, if you figure out that it is a registry value change and you figure out which values need to be changed, just let us know which ones and we will check what our values are set at so you can make the changes manually.
@ hotrod101
I am currently exploring my registry... If i figure out the values to be modified, i will share here, so anybody having similar problem might be able to use it

Dude - you shouldn't be hijacking other peoples threads to ask your question. Use the Q&A Section and start your own thread or even better do some searching. This question has been asked before and even made it into the hall of shame.
To answer your question: If you are going to put a song or a long sound to message tone the whole song or tone will keep playing until it reaches it's end. (it's not like ringer wich is instructed to end as soon as you answer the call. Don't use a long tone or song. If you want to use a song, make sure you edit the song to make it just a short clip of it.
Weird one which has only come on in the last few days and I haven't installed anything that might have affected things.
Phone is set to "Ring" with a built-in ring tone (Old-Phone2) but when it doesn't ring when a call comes in. It wakes up, S2U2 shows the CallerID but it doesn't ring.
I have gone through sounds and notifications and it is set to "Phone, Incoming Call", "Ring", "Ring-OldPhone2", the speaker is on as I can hear other events. So, I set "Phone, Incoming Call", "Ring and Vibrate" and "OldPhone2" and it vibrates but no ringing.
Text messages and new email messages work but the ringing doesn't.
Is there anything else or anywhere else I should be looking to find out what might have caused this.
Stuff I have installed:
TomTom
SBSH Touch Calendar
PocketPlayer 4.0
HD Tweak
Diamond TF3D config
IContact
TCPMP
WAD2
Mobile TFL
psShutXP
SIP Change
SPB Weather
Plus some other stuff.
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Please. I don't want to do a hard-reset and reinstall of everything
Thanks
this happens to when my hd fell from 3 feet to the concrete ground and the only way to get sound back was when i hard reset it.
Okay, this I think is because something has changed the association for .wma or .mp3 from Windows Media. This happens to a lot of us and I've never found a good solution. There are a couple of workarounds though.
First, set your default ringtone to a .wav file. That'll work, though if you reset you may need to re-associate that file to the default ringtone. Second, spring for something like Ringo which lets you assign ringtones to specific contacts. This will have a default setting which can in fact be assigned to a .wma or .mp3 file. It'll cost money though, unless there's a free one that I don't know about.
It's a really unbelievably annoying and stupid flaw in the design of the system. One learns to live with them.

This may have been the problem as I dropped it last week.

The phone is set to a default .wav file and it still doesn't work.
Bummer, looks like a hard-reset.
Thanks
I have the same issue here. Just fall down from the car holder to center stack. Now even wav file for ringtone and alarm is not working.
Can the software or setting issue relate to the fall? Or this is the hardware problem??
If we do the SPB restore the setting or hard reset, can it be solved?
If you are using MSVC disable notification for incoming call. It causes the behaviour you described - all sounds work except incoming ringtone.
I had to hard-reset and then I re-installed one of Dutty's ROMs and it works a treat now. Can't work out why a drop should produce a software issue.
Regards
For Touch HD, try this! It solves at least for me now .
If you have HD tweak try to set the 'Ringtone' function in 'Call' to
'Vibrate and Ring', that's it. I never change this before but it switch to 'Vibrate only' for some reason.
Dunno after changing of the ringtone song in Windows mobile menu 'setting' to another, then it turn-off the sound even you select the 'Vibrate and Ring'
