So as you can see I have managed to get custom tones on my phone and everything, BUT when they are set and I get a message and open it the tone doesn't stop playing and does the whole audio file. Is there any way to make it stop playing right when the message is read. Actually I even tried pressing all my buttons and it still plays... Is that normal, like I get a message and the song plays, then no matter what button I hit it continues.... Any ideas, suggestions, help? .... PS I have the HTC Tilt..
Thanks In Advance..

Any Suggestions?
Thats how it works. I dont know of a work around either. I dont think it is possible as of yet.
I have the same problem and it pisses me off. A phone that can do so much but doesnt have such a simply capability that my first flip phone had? Who wants to hear 30 seconds of music every time you get a text, especially during a convo....
Well, who puts a 30sec sound for texts in the first place?

If the file is a song it needs to be stored in the sounds file on your device, in application data\sounds! Then it will stop when you answer or check message!
I did what you said and yet te file keeps playing after the message is opened and read. Let alone I can't do anything to make it stop playing other then put the phone on silent for the length of the song. Even then the song plays. This doesn't make sense. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Simple solution edit the song so as it's short enough for a messege notification, the best free audio editor is Audacity
Umm..
Well to be honest who want a short boring message tone. Its nice to have the option of letting it play or just opening the message to shut it off am I right? Come one some one must know how and have an answer to this small blurp in the phone..

Geez you want to have your cake and eat it too! Either have a 30 second long SMS Notification sound EVERYTIME or don't. When the phone gets a Message its sends a command, "Play Tone" And that is all. Very Simple, no way to stop it.
Woah..
Sorry man. Just curious, I thought I phone as complex as this that maybe there was some silly and simple fix. Maybe that could be a project for someone that is up for a challenge. Find the command and a way to change it so it shuts off after being opened. I don't know, just bouncing ideas around that's all. Thank you for even responding though, I appreciate it it very much

To each his own... personally I'd be saying "Who in the world would want a 1min message tone that would require him to grab his device and open the message to stop it if he doesn't want to be looked at like a dork by all the people around?"
Phone call = continuous ring, normal as the person on the other end is waiting for you to pick up - Message: short notification so you know something has happened, but isn't urgent so no need to insist...
Can go both ways
im interested in this also,keep me updated

This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...ugin-all-icons-coloured-clocks-1-package.html
Ok first off, been a member here for awhile but never posted because most everything was GSM (nice to finally see a CDMA section).
So my prob is this; almost every short text I send (lol, ok, lmao... those kind) to someone, they get it twice. Longer texts dont seem to cause it. I'm using a kitchen from ppcgeeks and have the latest Arcsoft.
The only thing I can think of is that there must be some sort of receipt timer in the programs registry that needs to be tweaked. I have combed the reg looking for it, but cant seem to figure out which one it might be. Any help?
if one close outlook before getting a msg sendt notification and one have set
X to terminate rather then minimize that very thing happens
I have my sent notifications turned off, I'll turn em back on and see if that helps.. Thanks for the reply
Well that didnt help either... People are still getting duplicates from me

After you are done typing out your text, hit Enter, then Send. See if they still get dupes.
To wake people up without waiting by the phone.
pretty cool
Just wanted to add I think this would be pretty cool, and unique.
Otherwise known as the "stalker app"...pretty sure this would be pulled from the Market if it existed.
I really, really need to find a way to send a pretyped text message at a predetermined time.
That's something ill pay for.
Though the stalker app seems useful, I really NEED the timed-text option.
There is an app called FutureSMS which supposedly sends text messages at scheduled time but I could not get it to work. I don't know if it's because I use Handcent or what but you may want to give it a try
sounds like your trying to stalk or annoy the hell out of someone, i doubt itll be on the market long if at all...
Gramon, could you share it with me? I mean...FutureSMS

No, when i find out what work assignment to send everyone at night, i wanna auto send-text them there stuff when im asleep and they wake up for work.
Not sending it at the 3am when i find out what everything is for everyone, and waking everyone the hell up.
SMSbomer is a pretty good alarm clock when u get hit with 100s of SMSs at 6AM
Back when the Internet was booming, in the late '90s, there was aservice that used to do this for you. I would hit snooze for hours, in college, so I set it up, and it would call my sweet-ass Qualcomm ThinPhone & force my ass to get up. It wouldn't stop calling until you picked up.

I am not sure how this happened but,I am unable to answer incoming phone calls. No matter what button I press, and I have answering mode enabled, also having answering key enabled or not I still can't answer. I don't know if this other glitch will help as a clue to figure this out or not but, the ringertone is stuck on default and rings as one long continuous ring with no break. If I go to settings and try to change the ringtones or notification tones, I'm unable to do that either. When I am selecting from the incoming calls section of sound in settings, in either phone or notification ringtones, when I choose between android or zedge the phone just freezes or sends me back to main settings screen. When it freezes, it really freezes. I have to pull the battery because the power button does nothing.
I'm about to flash a new ROM (not sure which yet), and was wondering if this problem will go away, or will it be persistent and plague me in the new ROM? Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to help me with this one. I'm trying to do things without having to ask for help, but sometimes being a noob has its limitations.
Anytime any of you need answers about your electrical in your house or business, I'll be glad to answer your questions. 17 years as a union journeyman electrician has taught me a few things. LOL
Full Wipe Rom should do away with the problem. Just watch as u restore apps and see if u got a bad app causing the prob.

When I put the phone into a dock, or remove it from it, whatever app I'm running tends to either stop, or more commonly lose focus. Is there a way I can stop this from happening? I watch a lot of podcasts and other videos, and sometimes I take the phone out of the dock to go to the kitchen or whenever, and it annoys me when I have to spend 10 seconds trying to find my place again!

Is there another app/message that pops-up when you un-dock the phone?
If so, try to get rid of those, then there shouldn't be a problem.
No, it just sort of forgets about everything.

That's weird, I just did a test with WhatsApp and the only message I got was the flaps warning. After I pressed ok I was still in WhatsApp.
With video?
Picking this up again. REALLY annoying. Podcasts not only stop, but some times the app (PocketCasts) gets confused and thinks the podcast has finished, deletes it and starts another.
