Not as simple as the headline. Anyway, I have a SMS tone that lasts for about 15-20 seconds (can't make it shorter, it's chorus of a song) and the thing is that when I hear a message has arrived, I take the phone out of my pocket, but I cannot make it shut up! The melody keeps playing even if I have read the SMS until it's all played. I tried pressing every single button, no results. The only thing that worked was pressing the volume key and pressing the silent button, but that feels kinda stupid. On my old HTC Touch HD i only had to press the hangup button and it would stop ringing. Some help would be most appreciated...
Why don't you cut it with an audio-editor to the needed lenght???
Read a little more careful
It's a chorus of a song very dear to me, I don't want to make it shorter, i wrote that in my post. I want to turn the sound off in the middle of it, not make the melody shorter. If you're going to answer anything, read the post first and make sure that you understand it before giving an idea...
Here's an idea, try being a little courteous to someone who has taken the time to try and assist you.
May help you to get an eventual solution!
Just say you don't know
I was courteous, but I didn't see any help. Maybe I spelled something wrong. I said that I DON'T want to cut the melody and the advice is: use an audio editor to make it shorter. Gee, why didn't I think of that? I hope you don't make it your business looking around and commenting people are rude without offering any actual thoughts on the problem. I created this thread to get help, not a lesson from you. So, either help me in a constructive way or don't try to help anymore.
question has been covered before and the answer is you can't. (well no one has figured it out yet, at any rate)
Thank you
Not the answer I was hoping for, but thanks. Now at least I know where I stand. Hope someone will make it happen soon...

I have the german T-Mobile MDA-Pro with D1. (whytf can't I specifly that in my profile ?) I experience some strange thing with it. When I pick up the phone when someone calls me (by pressing the green phone button) it takes a while until the other side can hear me.
So whenever I answer a call (by pressing that green phone button) I will have to wait 5-8 seconds after the buttonpress until I say something or else the other side wont hear what I say and still thinks I havent answered the phone yet.
Yes! indead...I've got the same problem. is it a software bug?
I too have the same problem, and sometimes it hangs up the call even when I press the green button.
I've posted before and everyone has said 'Use the search'...I have and can't find anything relevent (don't think the search facility of this is very good).
Can someone PLEASE point us.
I really do miss the speed and efficiency of my XDA2s!
I have had some experience of this, it does delay mine was worse before I got rid of all th O2 tat, it is now liveable with, however it is cutting off when I press the answer button !!! OR IS IT after conducting tests using another mobile I found out that
1) the phone does not take very long before O2 divert the call to Voicemail
2) the phone starts ringing long before you know anything about it (its worse if the phone is asleep) it can be a good few seconds before it makes any indication noises
3) it carries on playing the ringtone after the call has been diverted which gives the impression that pressing the answer button is futile.
I have talked to the technical suppport of t-mobile germany and they told me they era aware of this issue and they will be releasing an update in Q12006 that will resolve this issue.

I too have this problem and for the moment while i await any future fixes from O2 or others, i am using the following short-term fix; Under phone settings I have changed the delay period before calls are forwarded to ansafone if unanswered (this works on O2 anywa). One problem with this is that callers may give up before they are diverted to ansafone if you set the delay too long
did this really resolve the issue I was talking about in my initial post ? (that when I pick up the phone by pressing the green button the caller can not hear me for the fist 10 seconds )
I have XDA Exec and kept getting confused why my GF always sounded confused and puzzled when I answered the phone, Id say "hello" and she would wait a while, then say "Hello? you there?"
I never realised it was MY phone that was cutting off my voice at the start of the call.
In regards to the delay ringing, and answering etc, I am giving all my friends instructions to bloody well keep ringing! I turn answerphone off normally as my phone is always on. If you want to speak to me, keep ringing till i answer, if I dont want to talk, ill reject the call.
Why ring twice and hang up? I could be doing anything that takes more than 2 seconds to get that damn phone out of my pocket, get it out the case, open it, see who is calling, press the button, damn, missed call.
Same problem here. I am seriously thinking about using this as just a PDA. I don't think it's practical to use a phone that only works some times. Somebody on HoFo said that the Universal isn't meant to be used as a phone, it can, but it isn't meant to be. I'm starting to agree.
I just like the idea of not having to carry around a phone AND a pda. I kind of hoped that's what the universal offers. But it kind of looks like it doesn't ...
Its a great phone when used as a hands free device, answers almost straight away, and has great volume unlike most hands free - my callers also comment that the line quality is excellent even if a few metres away from the phone.
I do always feel stupid though when using the phone as a standard phone, would feel more comfy putting a brick to my head.
I use the old phone ringer as my incomming call notifictaion and I hear my phone in plenty of time. The standard o2 incoming notification sound was useless. I don't know what T Mobile have but might be worth trying a different notification sound.
Cheers

Did anybody found a solution for this? this is very annoying.
Agreed, its just ridiculously slow - I worry whether or not I've hung up on people too, it takes a good few seconds before the line is actually dropped, let alone for the interface to update.
I've stopped using the "suspend" option and the phone seems to work like you'd expect (even on a cheap cell phone!). But the battery life is suffereing. Hopefully my new spare battery should be here soon.

You mean I should walk around with some spare batteries in my pockets. :wink:
I think my pockets are too small for so many things.
Does anybody knows if this problem is known to HTC? Is there going to be an update?
It isn't possible that a phone doesn't act like a phone in these features that are already working 100 years. I want to pick up my phone and talk immediatly
By the way how do I switch off the "suspend" mode?
What is the "suspend" mode and how do I switch it off?
Look at Settings>Systems Tab>Power>Advanced Tab
Uncheck to "Turn off device if not used.."
This will stop the "suspend" mode
eeek ! Now I know why I would need an extra battery ....
... and hearing something? No matter if i'm answering or making a call, there's 5 seconds silence. So you have to press the button and lead your phone to your ear rather slowly and speak then. And if someone answers the phone quickly, you might miss the opening "Hello". How ANNOYING is that?
Presumably there's no fix for that?
blimey what coincidence!!
i was going to posta topic of exactly the same problem, thanks god im not the only one then!!
is there no solution to this problem then?
i have found to not open the device and just use the answer button on the side and speaking while the device is closed in laptop mode, only bugger is that you cant see whos calling!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697
on this thread it mentions a 7 second delay problem, maybe this is the solution!
i have no confidence in myself to perform such major operiotns like changing roms etc so might try the freeware software first!

Im trying to set a longer tone, basically a ringtone, to play when i get a new text message
and its like a 15-second portion of a song
but it plays out the entire thing every time i get a text
whereas with like say a flip phone, as soon as you upen it, the sound stops playing
is there any way to silence this tone, so i dont have to listen to the whole 15 seconds every time i get a text message?
End button doesnt work
Dismiss doesnt work
Reading the text doesnt work
Putting the phone into standby doesnt work - and when it does, it finishes it when i turn it back on
Scroll wheel doesnt work, like when your getting a phone call
thanks in advance
no one?
is this even possible?
id have thought someone would have found a workaround for thiss by now - considering its an issue in WM5 and WM6 for me?

try taking out the battery, i guess it will stop. Another option is to slam the unit against the wall. That would definitely stop it.
anyway, why put a 15 sec sound??
hahah
sometimes i dont hear my little 2 second "Alarm3" and would like to have a long tone, that would last, depending on how quickly i read the message lol

I am glad you did not get offended by my sick sense of humor here ;-)
anyway, I have no clue how to stop that other than picking a shorter one and repeating it several times?
Well, I'm not sure if you are willing for fork out some $$ to do the job... but PhoneAlarm does a SMS repeat thing, which if any new messages aren't read, it will give you a beep (configurable) in every 1 minute (configurable). I think it cost $15 and it will cost you some space on your Today screen, depending which skin you use.
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.

OK, everybody is claiming that low in call volume is fixed after 3/8 kernel, but try this: dial a number by keypad (with dial pad tones enabled) and make a call. listen to the volume level. Then disable dial pad tones and call again. there should be a huge difference in volume level. You can experiment the same thing by quickly enabling and disabling speakerphone while in a call. I guess the problem is, when a sound is played back (like a ringtone or dialpad tone) in call volume is reduced for a short time. This can be eliminated for outgoing calls by disabling dial pad tone or waiting 2 seconds before pressing call. But for incoming calls, even disabling ringtone is no good. I also tried LVH v3.6 to boost the in call volume but no good. I tried almost all builds, ROM and radio combinations. With the new kernels, all have this problem. The most important function for me is the phone part, anyone has a solution for this?
Did you really need to make a new thread for this? Couldn't this been posted in one of the -post your questions here- topic?
Fix: No, there's no obvious fix (yet). Best fix is to use the supplied (or custom) ear-piece. Never any problem with that.
I felt the need to make a new thread as the old threads were referring to old kernels and most people tend to read only the first post. I wanted to present my observations, which I believe are not stated before, in the original post. Sorry for bothering you and thanks for the info.

I understand why you'd want to open a new thread for this, but this topic will just as much go down under as soon as it's solved or (more not-so-useless) threads get added later on.
Your observations + results could be stickied/hotlinked in the answer topic if they seem to be right-on the money. That way we keep it all nice and tidy, ánd more people would find a quick answer
I have the same exact problem. I hope there is a fix for this soon. Searched multiple times, but haven't found any answer.
I notice when you pick up an incoming call. The volume starts from soft and goes a little louder after about 2-3 seconds.
hi im also suffering from a low in call volume as well with my HD2 has there been any way to resolve this?
iam facing low rington and media volume , i can hardly hear my ringtone when on other room
I disagree with maseo I found this thread useful,
THANKS DUDE
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
hey, try this
when u wait for the other side to pick up the phone or u pressed the answer button when a call comes in
press on the Speaker button to use the speaker phone, then turn it off
repeat it again once
your volume will get lounder just like in WM.
Edit: oops. it was just a hardware failure, the front speaker had bad connection, there are another speaker in the chassis that worked.
thanks
i press the speaker on & off and then is more louder. i wish this will be fix soon.
IT WORKS!!
Hey, so I was/am having this problem but i tried the mute/unmute during a call and it worked. Incoming and outgoing. Only problem is seems to be low every new phone call. So i have to do the mute/unmute at the beginning of each call for it to be ok!
Hopefully there is a permanent fix soon?
Thanks for the post.
I have this same problem. I read somewhere someone having a fix on this.
One more thing, any of you guys had the robo-voice?
Got the same issue. Still no fix out there?
