Sounds

Every couple of days my ring tones go to the annoying default ringtone, all I have to do is reboot my phone simple fact us it's annoying

Are the notification sounds in options being reset, or is it just the file won't play? Also, when it happens again see if you can play music in the music app. If it fails I'd net its the same crap from MOTO that plagues many DX's.

That's unusual. Are you running any exotic-type apps. Are you rooted? Apex has notification settings in the apps themselves. Just trying to figure this out.

Stock rooted and yea they wont play in music player when it happens they stop working until its rebooted wierd

Are you using gtunes to download your music? Formally known as mp3 music download... I had the same problem and noticed the ringtones would change after I would update the app... the app kept on updating like once a week

may I have your help please

Hallo,
the past days i´ve been looking for a ringer that automatically lowers the ring volume when you lift up the phone or mutes when you flip the phone face down
Just like it works on the new htc wildfire and the htc desire hd
is there an app which does this for the HTC HD2

If your running windows mobille stock rom and im going to assume you are. Your phone should already do this, if not slide to settings in sense and chose sounds or something along them lines. I cant remember exactly I've been running android that long I forgot lol should be in there.

[Q] Custom SMS Sounds or Length?

Is there any way to create custom SMS notification sounds or length?
This was my number one complaint with the iPhone and looks like to be the same way on the Atrix.

There are any number of ringtone making apps in the market, just search for Ringtone Maker.
If you mean be more selective and pick ringtones for each user and the like, there is an app called Ringo Pro or the like that lets you set custom ringtones, notification noises and even LED colors for different people.

Thank you!

I use ring extended to be able to select any audio file on the sd card and ringdroid to edit length or use only certain parts of those audio files, ex.. the course of the song.

Or just drop any mp3 you want to use as a notification sound (SMS) into sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They'll show up in the list and work perfectly.

LightFlow - LED Control
works well and very customizable

Is there a way to change the ringtone for the received sms but only from one specific contact?

You can in Handcent SMS. Click on a message thread and in the top right corner you can edit that contact's settings.

Yea.... that's my favorite thing about the Atrix, or Android for that matter, among MANY favorites about the Atrix/Android. You don't need to be running a version of iOS that's currently jailbreakable.... use iPhone Explorer or a similar program to hunt around the core system files of the phone to figure out exactly what M4A file is the sound you're looking to replace.... then find the sound you want to replace that one, and make sure it's in M4A format and trimmed down enough that the iPhone will recognize it for some stupid freakin reason, just to get it to work. And then if you update iOS again... you gotta do the whole thing all over. And then Apple pulls a **** move and releases SMS tones that go on FOREVER! WTF Apple.... make up your mind!
But yea.... SOOOOO glad i got away from that boat.

[Q] Text (notifications) Interrupt Music

Notifications Interrupt music for about 2 seconds, then music starts again. This does not happen on Cyanogen just wondering if there is a FIX for Sense Roms.
Is there a FIX out there for this very annoying issue? I have searched and searched with diff combination of words and no answer comes up?

If you are using the standard music app, open the app, p ress settings, then you should see a lossless ducking option, enable it. Then what wil happen is that the notification will play at a quieter right through the music, so it doeesn't stop at all.

Is this for the EVO? I forgot to mention what device I had lol...I just went to the Myn Synergy RC2 ROM from CM7 ROM. I cant find this setting on it. I want a sense ROM that doesnt interrupt music, I know Myn Warm 2 Point 2 RC5 didnt do this. Thnks for your reply

put the phone on silent. the media volume remains unchanged, and the phone will vibrate your notifications and not interrupt the music.
been doin this since stock froyo, and now running synergy rls1, but works on and rom this way.

Thx for your replys guys...I put notifications on Silent for now...until Poweramp Player includes fhe option to fix this. I just wonder why CM7 and Myn Warm 2point2 dont interrupt.

Putting thebphone on silent is the on,y wat to fix it at the moment but some developers have just found way to build their rooms so that this flaw doesn't occur

I don't think it's a FLAW, but rather intended operation. When I'm listening to podcasts in DoggCatcher, it pauses while any notifications are playing. It resumes playback after the notification sound is complete, but I don't miss words in the middle like I would if it were playing the notification over top of the podcast. It really seems like it's a system feature that requests to pause currently playing media while notifications are happening, and these apps merely respect the request.

It only does it when the headphones are plugged in, without them it will not do this.

So is there nothing to do for this then since I plug my evo in through the earphonejack to listen in the car
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

that happens to me too. i cant find anyway to fix it. turning off the notification sound just draws a silence when i get an new email or sms.

I don't think there is a fix yet if your on a sense Rom. I went crazy reading and searching about this. The Dev of Poweramp Player will be fixing this in the next update. Def. Worth the purchase without the fix...its a major plus once he can fix this.

DX does not ring out loud after installing google+ app?

Hey all, newbie to the forums and didn't see a thread anywhere so I started one.
I'm running my dx with apex 2.0 and if it makes a difference, I have the tbh tether patch flashed.
Anyway, I installed the google+ app and now my phone shows incoming calls, but it does not ring out loud. However, it does ring for sms and alarms. I've narrowed it to google + app by restoring to a clockwork backup and testing it to see if it rings, and as soon as I reinstalled g+, I was again given the silent treatment on all incoming calls.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just did a test call...and I'm not experiencing the same thing.
Recently installed G+ myself.
(I'm on CM7.)
Download an audio manager or maybe check your incoming call volume in sounds?
I've no idea bud.

Thanks for the quick reply. But that's the problem i'm having is sound settings force closes on me when I try to open it . I'll try the audio manager, any recommendations?

I'm on Apex 2 RC3, I was getting DSPManager crashes a few days ago, but that's stopped since, probably due to a reboot. I'm assuming you went directly into the sound settings to verify they're correct, or is that actually what's crashing?

I had some weird issues with apex as well, I could call people but couldn't actually talk to them, I couldn't find a fix or fix it myself, it seems alot of people have random issues with apex, I don't know if its the rom itself or whether the g apps package is the issue, I ended up moving on to a different rom after I couldn't fix the phone issues as obviously I need that, I wish you luck in finding a fix

Sorry, haven't been on for a few days. But even after not installing g+, the issue has recreated itself so it looks like a titanium backup and re flash is coming tomorrow.
But to answer your question, the sounds settings is what crashes, I can't access anything within the menu.
Thanks for the replies, I'll post again if it happens after re flashing

Update: figured it out. For some reason it changed my default ringtone and would force close when I went to sound settings, but when I selected an mp3 file and set that file as a ringtone without using sound settings to do so, it seemed to clear up all my issues. Hope this helps someone
