simple text message tone question

when your getting a call you can press the scroll button and the sound will stop...is there anyway to do this for when you get a text message? thanks in advance

Hi,
I posted a similar question a few months ago relating to this on my XDA IIi, Orbit & Vario as I like to have lengthy MP3's as my incoming text ringtones but sadly nobody gave me an answer...
I did get round it by installing PhoneAlarm & when a text comes through you can either press the incoming text icon which will make the tone stop & take you to the text message or press the mute icon which will obviously make the tone stop...
Cheers

Hi,
Yeh, I thought a lot of peeps use MP3's for text tones and would get a few answers but neve mind also forgot to say that I downloaded the New Carbon skin to get this to work for PhoneAlarm, there are a few other skins but this was the one I liked...

why are you using a full song if you won't want to play it. How about chopping the head off the song and using it?

Probably the same reason I do - when I'm at home, I leave the phone wherever. Can't hear a short message tone from across the house!

Would be more convenient to take ur phone with u. I leave the phone around me, not neccessarily in my pocket but on a table or a bed or a sofa near by.

Lack of true in-built profile control is one of the remaining, glaring issues of WinMob.
That's why the first thing I install on every new phone - and the first thing after any hard reset is phoneAlarm.

Hi,
I am not using a full MP3 as a tone, I pick my fav MP3 tracks then cut out about 30-40 seconds of the part I want to use as my tone, then If I am in the house but not near my phone I can hear when a call or text arrives, but if I am out with my phone on me I can then cut the incoming tone as I mentioned with PhoneAlarm, I am happy with this set up, the standard tones that come with the phone usually only last for about 3-5 seconds...

Going nuts over volume..

I've been searching the forum but can only find volume changers for the standard "Volume" function of the phone, where as i want one which controls alot of volumes or just specific phone-based volumes (that made sense?)
Basically voice commander / tomtom 7 etc really need the phone volume to be set on max (plus the application on max), which is fine.. until i send a text message & everyone in the house gets woken up by a PONGPONG!!!!! sound & i have to change my shorts.
So i need to keep swaping the volume up & down, i know this sounds like a silly thing to be bugging me but omg it does!
Is there anyway to set program specific volumes?
or any other way that'll solve my problems, just to shut up the phones OS based sounds so they play at a tolerant volume rather than so loud my ears bleed.

well, you can set the master volume to high, and disable all the sounds and notifications you dont want. OR craft up your own sound using a sound editor and tweak it to have less volume, then map it to whatever notification u desire to have a sound.

Hmm yeah i had thought of that but its alot of work, was kinda hoping someone could just say "Download this, problem solved"

Check out a program called TomTom Started located over at FreewarePPC.com. It will automatically max out your volume when you launch TomTom, and turn if back down when it closes.
For future reference, I found this answer by searching "tomtom set volume to max" using XDA's Google search engine.

Chane vibration style for incoming text and call?

BTW the title of the thread is supposed to start *Change*...!
basically, i find the constant vibration really annoying when receiving a text or call... especially a call! i no the butler app changes the call vibration to every 300 ms or something along those lines, but i could never get the program to work properly on my TP. i was wondering if anybody knew the registry tweak (if there is one) to edit vibration length.

the thing with butler, i cant get it to run on my device. i have even had to hard reset because of it, so i dont want to fiddle with it nomore (which is a shame).
Is butler really the only way of changing the vibration?

I'm with you Manoli, Butler locked up my ROM also. Anyone have any other options.

How to set RING ONCE and then Vibrating every 2 sec?

Hello!
I tried everything, but was not able to set the Caller Alert as:
Ring Once and then vibration every other 2 seconds without RINGING.
Thank you!

Mmmm...
That's probably because the Diamond doesn't have that profile... you get what you see in the ringer options!

what other ring options did you find while trying everything else?
also, try VAlert and making a ring tone with the appropriate duration.

[Q] Question regarding Dialer Pad "long tones" and how to change?

Hi All,
Can someone tell me how I can change my dialer from inputting "long tones" when dialing to "short tones"?
Example... When I call my bank to check my acct. balance and enter my ATM card number, it always gets read wrong because of the length of the dialer / number tone and I am never able to get it right.
My Samsung Omnia was like this as well but it had an option for either "long button press tone" or "short button press tone" and I cannot seem to find this option on my SGS.
Can anyone advise on this? Does anyone know what Im talking about?

Anyone? Does anyone know how to change this or if there is even an option to do so?

Use Dialer One (search the Market). There you set the tone interval in miliseconds (unders settings).
And believe me... You will never use the stock dialer anymore

How does this work exactly? Does it actually automatically replace the stock dialer or does it need to be started seperately everytime you make a call?
I dont mind the stcok dialed otherwise but I just wish I could figure out how to shorten the tones when dialing the phone.
This also only happens when I am already IN a call. When I make the initial call there is no actual tone sounds like a regular push button phone. It makes little "bloop" sounds instead... (Im sure you know what I mean... LOL!)

I have this same problem and it seems to happen at random, try disabling the touch tone sounds in the sound settings.

I have just tried that and I will let you know my findings. Thats kind of weird that this is the only way to do this and that there is no setting for it.

***EDIT*** Yes... This works but again it is awfully strange that there is no actual setting to switch this.

It replaces the original dialer (actually both can coexist). You just have to choose which icon to click. But I tell you. It's really a way better experience. Very customizable.
