I've got a wav recording of my baby laughing as my SMS incoming message sound which is around 10seconds long.
In my old sony ericsson phone (ordinary phones), whenever I receive a message, I just press any button and it stops the sound. I love the longer sound but on certain occassions, like in my office, I would like to turn off the sound using a single button.
With the Kaiser, I tried to press all buttons but it can't be silenced right away. It has to play the recording until the end. My option is to go to the HTC home plugin / audio, then set it to silent mode, which may take a little longer, or I just try to cover the speaker with my hand. biggrin.gif
Would you know of any shortcuts to stopping the sound?
Thanks.
Have you tried moving the wheel on the left down-wards?
Thats what I do when my phone "rings" when someone calls... just knock the wheel down and it silences it
tried it, didn't work.
thanks..
Same here. I chose a song as my incoming SMS that was 3 minutes long. I had to go to the notification settings page to silence it.
Any help would be appreciated.
As the guy above said, scroll the wheel down a turn or two. That silences incoming call alerts.
(And a 3 minute song as a ringtone is not the best idea. Edit it down to 20 seconds)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That didn't work for me with SMS. I scrolled down, up and hit every button on the device and it still wouldn't work. I edited down to about 10 seconds. That's well long enough for an SMS.
same problem
I’ve the same problem with my tytn.....if I don’t have a long sound I don’t see a new sms or mms even if sometimes the short sound it’s better!
also I’ve tried all buttons but they wouldn't work!
So...if don’t have any hardware solution…could I have some chance for a software solution?
How about just leaving you phone on vibrate when at work instead of disturbing everyone around you
Easy solution to you problem and your coworkers will probably thank you for it...
Or you know, using Audacity to pare down the length of the sound file?
thx for the answers....
i work in a lonely room...and the song volume isn't a problem...but i leave the phone everywhere...so i would like to stop the music sound when i've find the phone and i've read the new message!
Hi!
My son called me while listening to an audiobook yesterday where I recently swapped my iPhone for one of my older Androids (Samsung S3 with custom Omega v61 ROM). I had already silenced everything in settings (power button mute etc) and to my surprise the Philips headset was ringing - and LOUDLY too I might add (almost died).
So I spent a lot of time with Tasker and SoundAbout (vibrate on all profiles but none seems to do the magic) but really haven´t been able to sort this one out. I do want the headset to be able to be used for calls also but my "optimal setup" would be that the phone vibrates while a caller calls me muting the BT headset until I have answered making sure the "ringer stays quiet" both on the phone and headset.
The weird part is that the ringtone is not the default of my phone (which has a custom silent.mp3 tone). So I thought it was built into the Philips headset but then I remembered that if I muted my iPhone it works as expected leaving me in hope of solving it for Android as well.
If anyone have time to solve this with me I would be very very grateful.
Thanks guys.

Root Call Blocker
I am very happy that I found Root Call Blocker. It makes sure that my eardrums stays clear of "incoming ringtones at max volume" while listening to my audiobooks. Great.
It seems they "block" the call before the system "acknowledges" it which perhaps explains why its possible where other fails. Are there any way of RCB asking me (popup etc) if I want to "take the call"? As in: it solves my issue, but on occasion it would be great to be able to answer if I want to. Can it be setup in a more clever way or solved with another app than this? Again: the whole point is to make sure that the BT headsets dont "call / alarm" when theres incoming calls. I do however want the phone to "vibrate" (which it now does thanks to RCB). So there only one wish left and that is if RCB could "notify" me that there are a call "ringing" asking me if we should continue to ignore or "answer" the call..
Good morning
I'm experiencing a 3 seconds delay when I make or receive a call.. When on speakerphone works without any problem..
I think there is something is the main mic! Tried to rec WhatsApp audio etc and all works good.
The problem is only on calls!
I noticed this if connecting my phone to car blutooth ... my car speakers rings significantly before the phone
It's happened to me on more than one occasion now and I am hoping someone on here can try and duplicate the issue I am having.
Scenario: When listening to music with the Buds and a call comes through.
Issue: The music turns off when I answer the call. After the call has ended, the music comes back on but at a reduced (and really low) volume. When I check the volume it's at the same level it was before the call but even if I turn it all the way up, I can barely hear anything.
My workaround: turn Bluetooth off and back on. This re-connects the Buds and the volume is back to normal.
My music app is poweramp. Phone is S10 (Exy).
Thanks in advance.
This happens to me every time someone is calling me in FB Messenger. I had to reconnect the buds for it be fixed. I encountered using both Samsung Music and Spotify. Can someone enlighten us?
Hi.
I just got my Pixel 7 last friday after being on iPhone for 5 years. Loving it, really a great device.
My problem is answering phonecalls on the device when my bluetooth headset is connected. On iPhone the call is routet to the device when using the answering button on the phone and routed to the headset when you press the butten on the headset.
I often leave the headset on my desk without turning it off. If i get a call while not at my desk i have to first switch from headset to phone before taking the call. I would like to change this so that i can get the call directly to the phone when not using my headset.
Is there a way to get the Pixel to behave in the same manner as the iPhone?
