On my Kaiser, when I got a text message a long MP3 would play which I could cancel by pressing the Red call hang up button.
Very annoyingly on the HD2 there doesn't seem to be any way to stop the MP3 so it just keeps on playing for a few minutes. The hang up button just switches off the display but the song carries on playing.
Anyone have an idea for a workaround?
You simply cut the favorite part of your mp3 and use that as a ringtone?
Unfortunately it's not that simple. I need the whole MP3 to play until I cancel it.
As I need the text message to wake me up if sleeping or be heard from another room etc.
I don't have an HD2 yet, but can't you just turn it over to stop the tone?
Just tried that, doesn't work.

Can't believe no-one else is being bugged by this problem?
the only way i found out is long pressing end call button and tap "set vibrate".. also pretty disappointed by this behaviour
This happens on all htc devices (and as far as i know on all windows mobile phones), your sms tone is set to ALERTS, meaning that it will play the whole song before it stops. I think you should switch to a shorter alert tone.
It doesn't happen on all windows phones as my Kaiser could stop the song, but I was using a newer 6.5 build I guess, although I did think all 6.5 roms had the capability of stopping the mp3.
does it still play when you've read the text msg?
Yes unfortunately it carries on playing.
then I've got nothing...
tried looking in settings under the sound and notifications?
Yes
I think it's just a fault that hasn't been fixed in 6.5 but has in 6.5.1. So once custom roms are out that will be a solution.
default notification
and whats the default SMS ringtone ,does it have a short one preinstalled?
Pressing the volume rocker used to stop this on my diamond
Has anyone with the new 1.61 rom found this problem has been fixed?

I got all my tracks in Storage Card/My Documents, when I change my ringtones they appear in the list.
I haven't found any solutions to stop the sms but when it is a calendar related the music stops as soon as you press dismiss or view the appointment, perhaps there is a key there that can be transferred to sms functions?

Hi,
I like to use my own MP3 ringtones for incoming text message, They are quite long (40-50 seconds) so that I don't miss them if I am not next to my phone but How do I stop it from ringing as it always plays to the end, would like to assing a buton same as when you get incoming call just to end it...
Cheers

If you just click the End Call button while it's ringing from an incoming call, the phone should immediately forward the caller to your voice mail, and end the ringing.
Have you tried pressing the End Call button while the text message ring is going? You might be able to kill the ring that way, without doing anything unwanted like inadvertently deleting a message.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but I have tried this, still does not stop the ringtone, I have tried to see if I can assign a button to do what I'm after but have not come up with anything, I know people will say just make a shorter length ringtone for my incoming text message but I prefer the longer length...
Do you think there would be a registry hack or maybe 3rd party software for this...
Cheers

It may be possible to write a mortscript that will stop any active ringing, and from there it's an easy step to create a soft button that does what you want using, for example, rlToday, or using Smartskey to place a secondary action on an existing hardware button (Press=original action, press+hold=new action), but you still have the problem of finding the activity that is the ringing, and creating a shortcut that will reverse that condition. It's over my head, I'm afraid.
Smartskey is definitely the tool to add a key function. Mortscripts is probably the easiest option you have for making a "program" that cuts a ringtone short, but it's probably not the only solution.
I'm afraid the SMS tone is played from some system process, so you can't just "kill" it with e.g. MortScript (except maybe if you don't care to get any further messages until a soft reset...). I think there's only a chance to cut it off if another app does the job. Maybe phoneAlarm does offer something like it.
MortRing in theory would be able, too, if "internal playback" is checked and the system's signal is turned off, but so far it hasn't any means to get a "stop it!" signal. And it only supports WAV...

Didn't mean to throw you under the bus, so to speak, but hey, I'm a fan of your work. Glad you could drop by, Mort!
i just use the volume slider to switch off the ringer. I do it even if I want to ignore a call without hanging up.
Have anyon found or developed anything that will allow windows based phones to use extended ringtones for text message and have the capablilites to stop it early. Like with the treo if you press reply while the tone is going off it stops at the tone short

Whenever I put my g1 on vibrate and then get a text the phone doesn't vibrate. is this happening to anybody else
I am getting this issue to, but it is intermittent. I am also having an issue with different ring tones playing. Every call rings a different ring tone, even from the same person. It is very strange!
open messenging --> menu --> setting --> tick vibrate
text message do not share the same setting in ringtone
Try to install rings extended in marketplace and set again~

just wondering are you in a text message when it does this? I noticed that it doesn't tell me I have a new text message from the same person if I am on the thread screen of their text messages... if that makes sense

If you are in the conversation screen with "sammy" it wont notify you unless you back out of it and you're in a different area, window.
It makes sense to me why they do it.
I don't like that feature though.

Yea thats what I was trying to say LOL... I agree I wish we could disable the feature... but then again just turning on the screen seems to work now that the app is out.
I recieved two OTA updates, the first one fixed this issue for me.
The noise goes off, but the notification clears and the light doesn't blink still. Oh well, it's progress at least.
mine will stop in the middle of the day, just pull the battery out and place it back in, and it will work again
updating to the RC30 update, mine is fixed, now they do

Hi I just registered with this site to see if I can help you. I had this problem all day tday n couldn't get a fix. I tried everythin except hard reset which I wasn't wiilling to do. My vibrate now works, what I did was this. I have the 'timed profiles' app, I timed it to make silent go off in 1 minute n then my sms vibrate function started working agen. This is a big problem with the g1 but this fixed it for me hopefully permanently! Hope it helps
I have problem how my Touch HD handles Alarms and Reminders. Not sure that this is WM 6.1 general problem or Touch HD specific but I would appreciate any help regarding this.
When I set alarm (clock settings) or create new appointment I expect from my phone to play sound until I do something about it. But that doesn't happen. When Alarm/Reminder starts, everything is ok but... After sound is played first time, there is almost 1 minute delay. And after that delay sound is played at same interval twice more times and that is it. Phone goes back to standby mode and until I power on manually I wont see message popup, or in most cases just a small bell icon in title bar.
My setting are pretty simple - everything is checked under Sounds and Notification:
Enable sounds for: Events, Programs, Notifications, Screen Taps, Hardware buttons
For Reminder event: Play sound (Alarm-Rooster), Repeat, Display Message on screen, Flash light for 5 minutes, Vibrate.
My questions are:
1) Is there possibility to loop sound while it is playing? Not just repeat at "unknown" intervals
2) Is there possibility to repeat alarm/reminder until it is turned off?
3) Is there way to have some notification window which can't be put in background until I do something about it.
I am not heavy user, so I don't check regularly what is going on on my mobile. But I do expect to be somehow notified when some important events happens (sounds, blinking, vibrate - just not led, because I can barely see it).
I tried to find program which handles alarms, notification and run into PhoneWeaver which is great but problem remains. As I understand PhoneWeaver rely on WM Alarms and Notifications behavior. It just adds convenient notifications for SMS, E-mails.
What bugs me is that I have now perfectly working notification when Email, Missed Call or SMS arrives. It will repeat chosen sound on certain periods of time until I do something about it. And standby doesn't have anything to do with it.
But problem still remains, Alarm and Reminder sound notification is repeated just three time until phone back to the Standby mode and that is it. If I don't see it then, I won't until I turn on phone.
Any ideas?
if I snooze an event for 1 hour, it comes back with a reminder in 30 minuets
WinMo handling of notifications is horrible IMHO
it may have been good enough back in the days of WinMo 2003 but it's just annoying now
my biggest gripes
*not enough snooze intervals (or a custom snooze time)
*wakes up the whole device to show u the alert
plus it's buggy
if I snooze an event for 1 hour, it comes back with a reminder in 30 minuets
does anyone else have this issue and maybe know a fix?
Is there any custom application that handles default WM behavior regarding alarm/reminders and notification? I found few, but all of them are just providing handy UI and keep using buggy WM. At the moment I am using PhoneWeaver in order to have profiles like on my Nokia. But look like it doesn't have full support for HD because I can't even change sound for Reminder.

I want know also how I can fix that. I have ticked "show message on screen" and then a "bubble" comes on the screen when I have alarm/appointment, but that works only once. Next time I have a alarm or appointment, theres only bell icon on top bar.
I check settings and "show message on screen" is unticked! Help?

I found a same issue with Touch Pro, that's really annoying problem
The cure (almost)
Yes the repeating alarm/reminder thing is a bit weak to say the least I REALLY need to know if I've missed a call, SMS, meeting etc. There's a real nice powerful app called PhoneAlarm which does everything you could possibly want. Almost too customizable. The problem is it relies on the Today plugin but most of us are using HTC's TF3D which disables all the plugins. I've tried a few others but ended up with something called "Best Reminder" - corny name I know but its ok'ish. Try it in case it helps.
SPB Phone Suite, IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD, it has a repeating alarm bug fixes, and also repeated notifications for SMS/emails/Missed calls.
Try it, its sweet!
Willy
Sorry, I forgot to mention this:
No need to enable the Today plugin, just Set it, and forget it!
Will try it...

If it's from SPB it should be good
I'm just having another go with http://www.pocketmax.net/alarmPal.html. Last time I tried alarmPal it kept crashing but this time round its on the device memory and seems ok so far. Its cheap too. "Best Reminder" is a half solution so hopefully one of these should work out.
Well i have the Telus version of the HTC Touch Diamond. And sadly enough it does not have a light sensor (for some stupid reason). So i was wondering if somone could make/find a tweak that could make it so when you aare in a call the screen would not become useless but you just have to put a bit more pressure than you would normally. Because my cheek always touched the end button and it pisses me off. So you would just have to push a little harder to press the end button.
Also i dont like how you cant use ringtones as SMS/TXT sounds. Well you can but it just plays till the ringtone is over. I was wondering if there is a way that you can make it so when you recieve an SMS/TXT than you all you have to do is either tap the screen wthout anything happening from pressing it(unless you press the message tab), or to touch the center button (cause its touch sensetive) also without anything happening.
anyone??
the second one is just a sugestion
the 1st is a request please

Pretty sure he wants to stop the ringtone manually. As opposed to letting it play a full song of 3mins.
Dude, use the MP3 trimmer and trim an MP3 down and set that as your SMS tone. Thus no more verses and choruses, only a portion of the song.
To stop the sms ringtone, you can press the call end button, but it switch you to the home page if your doing anything on the phone.
Yes Dickenz
Thats what i want but i used the trimmer but i always use the main chorus of a song
and thats to long eveytime i get a txt
So i can just press the end button?
