FYI...
I just ran into a slight problem with the above mentioned apps and hardware. When the speaker is set as the default source to play voice mail in you mail, the stock music app will also be defaulted as speaker. However, when you set the default source to headset in you mail, the stock music app will play music on the headset as well. In you mail, you have a button that you can switch back and forth at any given time, which works with no problem. In the the stock app, you can't set a default nor can you change back and forth. So even though I would like to hear my voice mail through the headset and my music through the speakers, I can't have those be the default in each app. As of now, my work around is to leave you mail defaulted to speaker and just switch to headset when I play a voice mail.
P.S. just to clarify, I'm not trying to listen to music and voice mail at the same time.

Hi All,
The ring tone on my M700 seems to cut out after 2 seconds..... The vibrate will still continue but the sound stops.
I have tried different ring tomes including the default wavs and it happens to those too.
I'm not using MP3's as ring tones and the RingTone0 script is correctly set "avpw0r" in the registry.
Anyone seen this before ?
It did work fine untill i flashed WM5 back after trying Mun's WM6.

sorry nogs - i assume that the tone you are using is longer (eg., when played with windows media player), than what you are hearing when it rings...?
also, sorry to be slightly O.T, but how did you set your ring tone to use an MP3? can you do the same with notification tones such as for a new text message?
Hi,
Yea the tone is about 30 seconds long and plays fine if you go through the phone option in system.
The above post says i'm using wavs for ring tones, not MP3's. You cant assign MP3's to SMS notifications. I may be wrong there as there may be 3rd party apps that allow you to do this pocket phone ZEN may be one of them.
Anyways i think it may have something to do with MS Voice Commander trying to announce the callers name but failing.

I am having trouble with the sound profiles on the vibrant, mostly in understanding them. Let me explain. When I am listening to music (stock music player) on my wired headphones I get the following results:
Incoming sms (stock client) will vibrate even though vibrate is disabled
Incoming mail (stock client) will chime in the headphones (expected result)
Incoming yahoo IM (true yahoo version from market) messages (come through speaker)
All notifications are set to some sort or audible alert with vibrate off and all work properly through the speaker when headphones are not in use, Is there anyway to make all the notifications go off audibly in the headphones? Or to at least make them all consistently do the same thing.
No replies....
Can anyone even confirm that their units experience the same

You did open the messaging application, press menu, settings and scroll to the bottom and disable vibration, right. Not trying to be rude, just making sure you know that notifications are set on a per-app basis.
Yes I did but honestly am more concerned with my yahoo notifications coming through the system speaker. I can replace the stock sms with handcent and that part is resolved. I often listen to music at the library or in a "quiet" place and the yahoo coming through the system speaker is an issue in a situtation like that
Well then I would suggest you go tell Yahoo that they're doing it wrong.
To be honest, I didn't know anyone actually used yahoo.
ok well thanks for the reply
I personally use Timeriffic from the market to manage my profiles. I got tired of trying to figure out the phone.
Not really relevant to the Mako specifically, but anyone know if voice-only calls on Google Hangouts default to the "ear speaker" when connected? On GTalk they would always default to speakerphone and I'd have to manually set it to "use handset earpiece." On Gingerbread phones there isn't even an option to set it to "use handset earpiece." I don't need the whole world to hear the other side of my convo if I'm placing a voice-only call.
BBM is smart enough to default to the "ear speaker" if you choose not to enable video in a call. I hope Google learned from that...
I like the edge notifications with the built-in messaging and email apps, but would prefer to use 3rd party messaging apps and gmail. SMS is also a concern because my car and my wearable (garmin) only send/receive texts via the messaging app. Are there any 3rd party messaging / email apps that will work with the edge, my car/wearable, etc.? Or am I stuck with the built-ins if I want those notifications to work?
Thanks,
Pete
My go-to 3rd-party SMS app, Textra, works fine with my car's Bluetooth. It reads messages to me out loud phonetically, and the car recognizes new text messages and displays a notif on the car screen (Ford Sync basic). I assume this is what the default S7E SMS app does as well? Question mark there only because I've never used the default app - Textra is always the first app I install on a new phone or after a clean wipe, along with SwiftKey keyboard.
As far as email goes, I've only ever used the stock email app for work email, although I do use the stand-alone GMail app for personal email. I've never thought about it, but you're right, the Gmail app doesn't give me the option to read emails aloud while I'm in my car - it just plays the default notification sound through the car speakers.
Hope this gives you some help at least.
While on bluetooth using my car stereo, when I get a text message there is no sound notification from the phone. All I hear is the music volume lowering for a few seconds. I'm using the stock messaging ap . Thanks.
I know it's obvious but any chance you have it set to a silent notification in the messaging app settings? It's a stretch but I have some apps set up that way on purpose
