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
JAY
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...

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.
Hello all,
I am looking for an application of some sort that can mute the ringtone (incoming call) using the g-sensor ... by turning the TP2 upside-down.
The Nokia 5800 XM has this feature.
Since I am a complete N00B I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work
Cbx
yeah nice idea
Why dont you just try it.. See what happens..
Yes, it supports this feature by default..
Or didn't you mean when you have an incoming phone call?
Double post
LOL
Indeed it features this function by default ! So sorry !!!!
I tried it before, but I flipped it the wrong way.
Post can be closed
I thought this is a standard in the TP2
Sorry just noticed the post date.
Reduce volume?
I recently saw the Leo feature regarding incoming call sound: when you just take the phone in hand while it's ringing (move the phone), the volume of ring tone fades out to minimum, still audible, not 100% silent as when you flip the phone over.
Can we do similar thing to our Rhodium?

Can anyone else confirm that their Standard Ringtones (1 to 4), don't actually ring like a phone, they don't have a pause between them like any normal phone, i.e. Instead of "Ring Ring..............Ring Ring" it's "Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring"
Is this a bug or just me?
It's like that on mine too. It's quite irritating and seems like your phone is saying "PICK ME UP NOW! HURRY UP! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!"
I guess the only way round it is to get hold of the sound file and manually add some silence onto the end.

Thought someone might say that, slightly annoying though! Kind of expect things like that to work, it is a phone afterall!!
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.
Duplicate post
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?
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
Yes there is.
Go to settings/sound & display/Single volume/off.
Some people on this forum had reported issues with this option, so do a little testing and see if it suits you.
The single volume thing just separates the ringer and the system volume. I'm talking about stuff like SMS, MMS, reminders, voice mail notifications, and THEN system. Thanks, though.
