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

thanks alot my friend....i cant believe there is so few interest in this topic...i mean this as far as i know is a windows mobile wide issue....and im pretty sure me n u arent the only ones using mp3's for our text messages....haha but thanks man ill try phonealarm out

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...

LOUD Ring Tones

Anyone know where I can get standard LOUD ring tones for the Tilt?
Also, what folder does it need to be in in order for the sound menu to find it?

If it's just an incoming call ringtone then it can be anywhere I think, just select "Set as ringtone".
If you want a custom text or email tone you have to drop it into the 'windows' folder, then you'll be able to find it in the drop-down menu for sounds and notifications.
In order to make your tones louder, you can download a free piece of software called "Audacity".
I had a few tones that were a bit too quiet, so I gave 'em a boost using Audacity.
I regretted it a bit when I was in the Doctor's waiting room and the "2 girls 1 cup" tune blared out when I received a call!

That, my friend, is one sick ass video. No pun intended. It's just plain sick.

I use the "Top Cat" theme tune now.
That makes everyone smile, whereas the aforementioned tone only got the occasional "knowing" smirk from internet weirdos.

So there is something in this world that can gross you out... Personally the repair rech for my equipment at work told me to look that video up about 5 or 6 months ago and I felt for sure I was going to throw up.

OK guys... just settle down.... Here is a QUICK way to increase the volume of any ring tone you want:
1. Connect your phone to ActiveSync with your PC. In ActiveSync, click on Tools/ Explore Pocket PC, Click on My Windows Mobile device/ Click on Windows, and locate all the Wav files including your ring tones. Copy them into a new folder on your DeskTop.
2. On your DeskTop, click on Start/ All programs / Accessories / entertainment / Sound recorder.
3. In sound recorder, click on file and open and select to open the folder you saved those wav files in, then select a desired wav file.
4. Click on effects, then increase the volume (25%). Save the new NOW LOUDER wav file into the folder created earlier. Chose a new name.
5. You can repeat No. 4 above and each time you do it the volume will increase by 25%.
6. when done copy the newly created (LOUDER) wav files into Windows on your device using the activeSync window.
Good luck...

Or you could download GoldWave, a free audio editing suite.
I use adobe audition to edit my mp3's to create ringtones, as well as amplifying them. GoldWave does this too but is far more basic (when i say basic theres still a hell of alot it can do, just not as intuative as audition, but then thats not free is it!)

http://makeownringtone.com with default settings produces ringtones with good loudness.

Sparrowhawk; any chance of you posting the Top Cat wav file? Thanks!

Which video are you talking about? if its the 2 girls video then the website is www.2girls1cup.com but make sure you got something to throw up on next to you and make sure you don't mess up the keyboard lol

Ringtone/Sound collections

I've noticed a lot of the ROMs remove the original set of ringtones and other sounds and surprisingly people want them back!
It occurred to me that other like me might be happy the originals were removed but would like a decent ringtone/sounds collection to replace them with.
Does anyone have or know where a good place to get these from?
I'm aware people have different tastes but there should be a place where we can find decent collections i.e. Dance, Rock, Futuristic, Techno, Jazz, Hip Hop etc. I know it's easy for people to go through sites finding one tone here and another there but having collections in this forum would make it more ideal and a lot easier for all of us!
P.s. Searched and couldn't find a definitive thread about this matter although it's what a lot of people might be looking for!!

+1 I'd like to have this too

i have a great old phone ringtone...very loud

Now see this is what we need and maybe if there are other tones for notifications for instance, which could be considered loud, we can bundle them and make a collection called 'Loud tones'.....sorry about the original and exciting name I've suggested!!

A good collection of tones
Used to have the Nokia N81 8GB and remembered it has some interesting tones. So went a hunting and managed to track them down.
Attached for your enjoyment.
Remember: Store them on the /Internal storage/My Documents/ folder. Only the files in that folder, no sub folders or it won't find the tones. Also, don't worry the Diamond knows how to play AAC files....
In case you need to know how to change the tones: Main tabs > Settings tab > Advanced > Notifications.
Lets see some more tones from elsewhere......
Enjoy!!
Fingers crossed this attachment works!! Download here:View attachment Nokia_N81_Original_Ringtones.zip

THey are great mate- I love the variety.
Here's my contribution (23 MB) - this file includes the original Diamond ringtones for those who like them as well as a bunch of others I got (mainly from the new MS WM portal- which were surprisingly quite good) and also all the ringtones converted off my useless E90 (some of which are also quite good considering it's a Nokia)

[Q] Custom Ringtones

I read sometime back about the inability of WP7 to change the ringtone to a custom music but it totally slipped my mind.
I just want to make sure if that is still true... I couldn't find the option in the phone or anything online..
Is there anyway to change the ringtone to a custom one?
Thanks in advance.

No, at the moment there are no custom ringtones.
There is some indication that ringtones may become available in the Marketplace so I'm not sure when / if we will see our own music used as a ringtone.

I'm surprised by the concern people show about this -- it must be just me who just lives with whatever comes as standard!

After years of training yourself for that custom ringtone, which you can pinpoint in the middle of a Iron Maiden concert, its hard for some to adapt to a "ring ring ring".

vibrate is the best ringtone ever

[REQ] Stock notification sounds

Hi everyone,
could someone please post the names of the stock 2.2.2 notifications sounds? Lost mine when flashing CM7-SK7, and I am looking for a specific one but sadly forgot the name.
Btw, if it matters, I was at the German V10C.
Regards,
Eric

Nobody on Froyo anymore?
The one I'm looking for was something like "chke-chk-wow!"...Try to actually write down a sound!^^

Well I'm also on sk 7. But I've a friend who is still on stock Rom due to WiFi problems of sk 7.
But the problem is I don't know how to give you the stock sound from Rom. I mean I tried with es file manager but I couldn't find the notification sound files in any system folder. If anyone can guide me where to look for that notification file... be it m p 3 or amr... I shall upload it for you.

Oops edit: he is on nova v 8. Hope nova has the stock notification sound. : D
