SMS tone while on the phone - G1 General

I don't know If i'm going deaf or what but I don't ever hear any kind of notification tone when I get a sms message while I'm on the phone. Any ideas? I hope there is and I didn't activate it or anything, cause my wizard did.

The tone while on a call for sms, email, or any kind of alert is what I missed the most from my WINMO phones. Also the ability to make different kind of occurance on my calendar. Android doesnt let you create your own pattern.

Voicemail - popup nofitication dismiss does not dismiss

I know there is a standard feature in the wizard where when a new voicemail comes in, it does a popup notification saying you have 1 new voicemails, etc.
I also know that when you click "dismiss" the popup notification is hidden, but no new popup notifications can come in until you actually listen to the voicemail.
Since I don't like to listen to my voicemail, is there a way to change the behavior so that it "clears" the popup notification and I can get to my other popup notifications?
I too HATE this problem. I have not yet searched the forums for a resolution, but I will see what I can find.
BTW: I had forgot about that problem (must have just been ignoring it) until you brought it up again! :x
Later; Lew
As far as I have been able to determine, there is no way to make it go away. However, new notifications do come in (but do not pop-up automatically). You can access the new notifications by clicking the notification balloon on the top of the screen. I use this quite often to get to the missed call notification without checking my voicemail first.
i too am having this problem and was wondering if there was a fix for it, it is quite disturbingly annoying.
Sometimes i get a slew of notifications and since i cant see them all since i am at wrk and i get time to see them usually voice mail is the "TOP" one and will not dissapear until i LISTEN to it, EXTREMLY annoying.
Does anyone have any fix/work around?

Hi... I wanted to bump this message because I have the same problem and I was hoping there was an easy answer.... i figure its an easy fix.... but man its annoying getting that voicemail txt msg and you tap on dismiss and its still there...
thanks in advance..
I just posted an ongoing email thread with Cingular/HTC support for the Cingular 8525 (Hermes) about the exact same issue. Included in the emails is a verification that this is also a confirmed bug on the Cingular 8125 (Wizard). I am going to stay on their asses about the 8525, and post any replies I get. Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299865

8125 Email notification options wanted

So here are my needs/wants. I am looking for some piece of software or Outlook Mobile add-on I guess....your ideas and thoughts would be helpful.
I would like to be able to assign a different ring (notification) to a certain mail from address....I need just one but of course having an option for more would be cool. With assign rings tones I have this option on the phone part....having it for emails would be very cool. Here is an example of what I am talking about...
What I am thinking is I could have a cracking whip sound when I recieve an email from my girlfriend [email protected] and I would like to get a chash register sound everytime I recieve an order from my webstore from [email protected] even better I could have some really loud notification when someone mailed a certain to address....say supp[email protected] or a different sound when something came from [email protected]
It would be cool if you could assign it like the ring tone in my contact just like assigning a ringtone to a contact....
Anyone know of something like this?
Nothing? No one has heard of anything like this?

Different custom notification tones for each thing?

Okay I have searched and found some good info on getting custom tones for notifications and such. However I would like to know if theres a way to have my email notification tone seperate from all the rest of the notifications. I know using ringo pro I can have my text msg notification tone seperate. But I do not like it when I hook my phone to my computer it gives me the same tone as my email one. I currently have it set to the "you've got mail" and its annoying to hear it with updates, hooking to computer, and such. If this has already been answered please supply me with a link and I apologize for not looking harder.
Open your gmail app. Press menu and select settings. Should be in there. Same with txt messages
Wow do I feel like a moron. I even knew that option was there too. Just completely overlooked it for no reason at all. Well thanks for pointing out stupidity at its best. Seriously though thanks ubernicholi
no problem, i didnt know that was there for a while either
Hey thanks for something so simple, I didn't even know that haha

Change Vibrate pattern for incoming calls

So Handcent allows you to change the vibrate notification pattern for SMS.
Is there any way to change it for incoming calls? I find the current pattern bad, as it is one small 'blip' followed by a fairly long pause before it vibrates again. I'd want it to start big to get attention faster.
Is there any application out there that allows this to be changed?
+1 on this one too...I think short multiple vibrate is effective for calls too
Missed Call allows for this.

Just installed it, and it only seems to allow it for after the call has been missed?

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.
