I have installed handcent, and I seem to be having trouble after having assigned different notifications tones to my contacts.. When I receive a message from that contact, instead of me hearing the tone I set for that person it appears to just play the standard htc default tone.
How can I stop this from happening?
Many thanks

All,
I have searched up and down using google and this forum, and all I have found is people with similar problems but no answers to these questions below:
1. Ring tones for contacts saved to the phone are easy, as is setting a single .mp3 to play for SMS messages, but all I really want is my default ring tones for contacts to play when they send me SMS messages. I know Ringo does this, but it crops my ring tones down. I don't want this. I want the full 3-8 minute song to play for a given contact whenever they send me an SMS message.
2. Why won't my current SMS ring tone stop playing on opening of a notification? No matter what it is, a stock 10 second clip or a 8 minute .mp3, it plays completely whether I have opened the phone or not. The equivalent of this would be you getting a call, answering the call, and as you are talking, your main ring tone is still playing. I don't know if this has to do with windows media player, which I have replaced with the audio manager, which is much better, but it is a huge hassle for the sms message ringer not stop once you've opened and are replying to an sms notification. I don't want to have to have my text messages just vibrate or have no sound at all. I want the whole .mp3 to play the ring tone for the specific contact unless I read or dismiss the notification.
I have looked into Ringo, Phonealarm, and Mobiedit, and none does want I want. Ringo crops my SMS alerts, but plays full .mp3s for incoming calls...It should be the other way around. Mobiedit wouldn't recognize any of my .mp3s. Phonealarm has a lot of nice features, but what I want is very specific.
Any registry hacks for this? Any cabs for this?
I want to thank you in advance for your answers and for all the wonderful information, tips & tricks, and downloads you offer.
Thank you,

Can anyone point me in the direction of another resource then?
PhoneAlarm WILL do this. You just have to set it up.
Really? Then I couldn't figure this out. Is there a difference between the trial version and the full version?
Thank you for your help and I will report back to see if I can get it to work.
phonealarm does indeed allow you to shut off the notification once you either dismiss or reply to it. I don't know if it is worth 30 bucks. Is there a way to get an 'answer on open' like function for sms?
It does not however, allow me to use my contacts ringers for their incoming text messages. Is there a registry tweak out there I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I've looked around the forum and couldn't find a solution anywhere but Whenever I receive a text or e-mail, my ringtone keeps playing and playing... no matter what button I hit or what I do on the screen (I can completely read and respond to a text and the ringtone will still be going!), it doesn't seem to quit! .... I want a ringtone on so I know when I get a text or email, but I don't want it to be never ending! Any ideas on how to make it stop ringing when I want it to ? Angry
It is a known limitation of Windows Mobile, the ringtones for Messages play till the end.
You probably should select a shorter tone for messages.
i have a need.. i have found that .wav files played as text message sounds.. are incredibly small. and i found a program that contained 6000+ noises..
so on my raphael, it would be convienent if i could find a program that will point the sound of any incoming text to a random .wav in a folder on my phone. or to a random.wav that is changed before the sound in played.
does anyone have any suggestions?
You can try the following app. this app allows you to assign sms wav tone to individual contacts. its pretty neat.
Here is a description of that file above...

i googled heavily before posting a question here in the forum. the goal is to have a sound that is different each time, no matter who has sent the text message.
geez..
401 people have read this thread, nobody knows nothing. who do you ask to fabricate you just such a .cab? do they have a paypal button?
I dont have a solution yet... but im thinking of using Mort Script to change the reg key after a sms event. I just dont have the time now.
This is what i would program.
1. Insert command to execute the program on a SMS event in the notification queue, then exit.
2. After a SMS event, Change the sms Reg key value to a random .wav in some directory
3. Insert command in notification queue again then exit.
have a play with mort script samples and you will see how possible it can be.
Ringtone stops when Voice command speaks
When I get an incoming call, I set voice command to say the number or name of the caller, I just flashed my phone to the Energy Rom Genesis and installed the Voice Command cab..... now when I get an incoming call, the ringtone plays for 2 seconds and once the voice speaks the ringtone doesnt play any more..... is there a reason for this and can it be fixed? Thanks.
Hello,
Windows Phone 8 now supports custom text tones so you can select custom text tone (SMS) for each phone number. This works great but I have a problem because I would like to select a custom text tone for receiving fire alerts (like pager), but the problem is that sender of this messages is not a phone number but a text entry (instead of for example 0028631234523, sender is GZTrbovlje). I have tried to save this as a contact and then add a custom text tone, but it doesn't work, because it is not a phone number. Any idea how to solve this?
I would like to have this configured because I would like to have a very loud text tone fort his messages. Andoid has a FireAlert app but there is no app like this for Windows Phone so this would be a good workaround.
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Marko
Hey,
You might try the following, but I have no idea if it works since I cannot test it:
go to your messages, click the thread with the message. On top, it should say "GZTrbovlje". you can click that name and save it as contact, it will save the name as email address, but you can still change the ringtone without having the phone number.
Hello,
thank you for your answer. I have tried this but it doesn't work. Any other idea?
Best wishes,
Marko
Hey guys,
I am trying to add anew alert tone for a contact. the contact only has an email address. And when I get a text messageven with that email address as the sender I want a custom ring/alert tone to play.
I currently have ringtone/message tone set to the tone that I want but it still does not play
Am I doing something wrong?.
