Hey all. Coming from a BB 6 months ago I still find new things about the Dinc that I love. Now that I'm rooted and running a custom ROM it's even better, but there is 1 thing that is Annoying the crap out of me. I want a professional sounding ring for when I'm those business environments, but this rings like its on steroids. Why is it that when I select the stock ringtone Standard 1, this thing constantly loops when I have an incoming call. I want something that rings like a normal phone (ring..pause..ring..pause..,etc.). Is there anyway to change that? I don't really want to go find an app to do it for me. I remember seeing a thread that you can go into the menu (## and a few numbers) and change the delay of the first ring, but can you do that to space the rings apart or create a pause? Can anyone help? Thanks.
Try this ringtone. It is a old phone sound but has a blank at the end to achieve what you want
You will need to rename it to .mp3 since I changed it to txt just so I could upload it
Perfect!! thanks on the way NilsP!
If you wanted to do this with another ringtone, use Audacity and add some blank space at the end.

That's actually what I used plus Krystal does a nice job also (guitar player).

Normally when I receive an email or a text message. WM5 allows me to get a sound alarm and a visual pop up notification. The problem is that the sound only happens once on initial receiving of the message. And if I am not around the device I would miss the sound alarm. And if I dont open up the device to see if any messages are there I would not read them for a long period. The light flashing is not covering my needs.
What I would like to do is..
When initial message received ( text or email only , not phone ) from a particular sender, have the device play the standard receiving sound, then assuming I missed the initial arriving alarms every 5 minutes after receiving the message play a another ( different WAV ) to say message received but not yet opened or viewed. This reminder alarm would stop one either opening of message or by myself turning it off.
Or can one do this in WM5 that I have not yet worked out.
Any ideas
Should have done more searching on google
I found this little tool : http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Looks goog, can any one pass comments on it.
Pocket Max Alarm is a good tool for alarms, reminders or waking up to your choice of music as your alarm sound.
However, I dont believe it affects phone related sounds. Therefore I would suggest your best option may be to play around in Settings > Sounds and Notifications. Perhaps try the flashing light option? It seems to be a professional way of letting you know you have something to look at on your phone.
Anyway just a suggestion hope something works out.

This product does exactly what it sounds it should do.
It provides profiles so you can store all settings vol,sound,backlight etc
and provides repeating alarms for "phone notifications" ie sms/mms/email/missed/voice calls etc.
It does not alter the normal notification sounds like calender or task alarms for that you need their other product called alarm today (i think its called)
Matt
Yep your exactly right I was thinking of Alarm today. My bad, problem solved thread and case closed.
My M5000 rings alarmonly once, can I change in somewhere to repeat? so far didn't find place. In my Tornado I found this place.

start-settings-system-clock & alarm then tap on the bell and select repeat sound
Selected
Still don´t repeat
mmm... strange...
I remember I saw a thread regarding a nice program in Dev & hack section
Try a search with "alarm"
Hope it helps,
Is there a way to stop the "fade in" in the beginning of the ringtone. I do not like it's implementation. It is kind of too fast and the effect is annoying. I see no option for this anywhere.
Seeking how to stop the increasing ringtone too
I also have the same problem (actually not a problem, just dun want it)
I find all the setting in phone but no way out
any suggest?
If you set an mp3 as the ring tone, does it still do it, I don't think mine does :/
yes, I edit a mp3 in PC and copy in i9000 then set as ring-tone, I still behave the same, sad.......
have the same problem
it was on my omnia i900 too. The modding community managed to tweak it away, so its only a matter of time before you can get a small tweak to turn it off.
But I believe that Samsung made this a feature (i read it somewhere long ago) in that sometimes people have just finished a call and the phone is still next to the ear, they might receive another call (with the phone still next to their ear), with the fade in feature, the ringtone wont blast into the persons ear which can cause damage, instead it starts off low volume and then increases, allowing time for the phone to move away from the ear.
hope that made sense
i like it how it is, what is so bad about the volume up per ring?
at most after the 4th ring it goes to voice mail, it doesn't get that annoying
its not really a problem indeed, but I will notice a call when I at street after the ring-tone finish fade-ing, it may be the 2tnd or 3th ring of the person who call in, after I pick the phone out of my bag and looking the information who call in, it may be the 4th or 5th ring then that person may think it is no body to answer or the system make it goes to voicemail............I miss the call...........

Like most things it's called choice. I prefer no increasing ring as well.
I'd like this gone too! The fading ringtone is irritating
This also is a problem to me.
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't make this an option for us to turn the feature on or off, not to mention configurable fade-in time.
The problem is here since, I don't know, i900, perhaps?
I would also like to see this disabled. Hopefully someone will find out how to do it soon!!
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd really like this problem solved also. Obviously there's no clear option to change this, however does anyone know where we can start looking? (ie. certain config files or similar for rooted users.)
There's still no solution?
any update on this?
have you tried 3rd party ring tones apps
those have its own way of playing sounds when a calls comes in, some replaces the stock features.
try ring extend and ringo plus and many many more
android market is full of it

Thanks AllGamer, but I've tried many apps including Rings Extended, Ringo Lite and Zedge, but they just replace the ringtone picker. No matter which app I use, I always get increasing volume for incoming calls.
P.S.: I noticed something funny: I selected a ringtone from DoubleTwist playlist using Rings Extended. When I got an incoming call, I listened to a "hidden ringtone" which is similar to the digital phone ringtone. Probably Rings Extended failed to pick a mp3 from DoubleTwist and my phone used a "fallback ringtone" (such as the Nokia Tune when you remove an sd card with your ringtone). I think it's called "832" but I can't find it anywhere!
Sigh the increasing ringer is pretty lame.
Should be optional.
still no fix huh...

I have been using a lot of roms lately.. and loved everyones work over here except one big gripe I have.... I m sure lot of you might agree and disagree with me.. but I just want to throw it out there.
My issue is with boot animation sounds and ringtones.
CAN WE NOT CHANGE THE BOOT ANIMATIONS SOUNDS AND RINGTONES IN EVERY ROM AND KEEP IT STOCK.
and leave it at user selected ringtone and stock boot animations and sounds. And provide a separate .zip for boot sounds and ringtones if anyone wants, instead of giving them nobootanimation sounds.
I have flashed Viper roms couple of times and everytime I end up with these sounds which makes me look weird if the phone dies/rings/shuts down at work with default sounds.
I flashed synergy yesterday and today my phone rang at work and every one just gave me a glance like.."What do they call you....???" (due to the default ringtone)
Just a thought.. if it makes anyones life easier..
Thanks!
You don't like added ringtones, notifications, and alarms that come packaged with apps as well? I can understand the boot sounds, but not extra sounds that help you customize your phone.
And the custom boot animations are kind of the branding you have to deal with for using someone's work you didn't pay for. These developers work hard and most (essentially all) only get paid through donations. Having that boot/shutdown screen with their custom logo or image is their form of advertisement. I've had plenty of friends see my phone while it was rebooting or whatnot and ask what I was running. I've converted a few and brought them to the modding community =).
I guess I could understand where you're coming from if these developers forced us to pay for the product they deliver, but they don't.
In SRF:
Boot sounds: The sweet sound of silence. Ain't it grand?
Boot animations: Yeah, it's our logo... If you don't like it, flash another animation. If we didn't put in some kind of bootanimation.zip, you'd just get... crap. And how often do you reboot your phone, anyway?
Ringtones: The full stock library is there. But the default? It's a phone. Shocking.
If you ask me, a ringing phone sounds more normal than whatever crap Samsung defaults to.
make your own rom. Or customize the one you got... there's a secret sub forum called Themes and Apps.. don't tell anyone else about it, but you might want to check it out before somebody really rips you a new one..
kOnane that was a very classy retort nicely played

seriously, anyone that has a phone at work that doesn't have it on vibrate is an idiot. and that would solve all these issues. its called silent mode, best feature of the phone. maybe you guys are 16 (its a great time, so no offense) but other than that, ringtones and nonsense like that would be the least of my concerns.

These are all things well within the end users control. Just check your ringtone, that's not the developers responsibility. If you want download my midNIGHT ROM and just pull the extras folder out. I ported over the Rhodium ringtones awhile back. There are a ton of zips in there that should work on most ROMs. k0nane is right someone will always complain.......
My only complaint is loud, obnoxious boot sounds, which I havent heard in quite a while... Viper had a pretty crazy one a couple months back. not really a big deal, as I know we can change it, or just use a diff. rom... as far as boot animations, im all for them, and if people want to brand their work, more power to em.
I have a well used option in Startup Manager that dumps startup and shut sown sounds. It absolutely amazes me how many people think that devs should do whatever they demand. Sorry guys, but these are volunteer operations and they do what they want. If you don't like it vote with your feet...

I looked around the forum briefly, but I didn't find anything.
I'm currently on CM7 and I really don't care for the system sounds too much. Can someone running a sense Rom grab some files for me? I think you could just copy/paste them to the sd using astro. I'd like the alarm "snooze" (I sleep through cm7s buzzer sound ),the notification sound "major" (sounds like the super Mario 1up shroom), and there's a ringtone that sounds like a digital phone. I can't think of the name, but it's not the old school sounding ring.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download one of the several Sense ROMs on this site, then open the zip file, and go into the media folder and take all the sound files you want.

Duh, I should have known that. It's been a very, very long day...
I still have zips for stock and liberated Roms, will have to dig them out tomorrow.
Thanks!
So I am pretty ecstatic over all with the performance of my Moto X pure, and a little impressed by the moto voice command function. I can access just about everything on the phone by voice alone, except there's one problem. Everytime the phone understands one of my commands, it responds with a very loud and obnoxious sounding "bloing!"
I can even tolerate the robotic voice of the Moto lady, who sounds like my 3rd grade teacher, but the response sound is just too much. Does anybody know what folder it is in so I can nuke it, or is there a way to turn that sound off.? I looked in the media files, and in the notification files, of both the phone and the SD card, looking for a matching sound but did not find it there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The response chime is connected to the media volume control. Keeping the media volume down has helped me a bit but it's still no fun. Also, I've noticed that it uses the old Google Now sounds so when I initiate a search it gives a loud "old GNow" confirmation then a more pleasant "new GNow" tone. If I could at very least do away with the double confirm, I'd be happy.
I wonder what would happen if we found the folder containing that sound and nuked the file.
do you know what the actual file name for that sound is?
Anybody here have a better idea?
Thanks

My question is how else would you know the phone is responding to your commands. For example if your phone is across the room.

I don't know, every other function in android seems to have both visual, and audio option.
They could just have a flashing screen,, the problem is, when I want to use Moto X voice, that sound, is way louder, then most of the other confirmation sounds used in speech to text conversion. If you turn the media volume down, the female voice is reduced in volume along with the confirmation sound.
Or they could just have an option, like most of the other audio in android, that allows me to choose a sound.
Which brings me, to my quest. Or question
if it is a regular audio file, or a .ogg or MP3 or MP4, I should be allowed to go to the containing folder, and simply drop in an audio file of the same kind into that folder, right?
Anyway the "bloing" is annoying, has no individual volume control, and makes me look like less than the coolest kid on the block, which is what I so desperately crave, which is why I spent so much money to buy the coolest gear.
Please help my quest for coolness
From previous experience, sometimes these sound files are inside the apk file itself. Really no way to change or get rid of it unless you start decompiling them, remove/add your own file. Samsung used to do it with their screen unlock sounds. Looked forever in folders and found nothing. One day while searching inside the apk, found it. Just a bit of help to maybe help your search
