Hi Guys,
I was wondering, has anyone played with the registry or seen an app that will mute the SMS Ringtones??
I had WM5, WM6, and i currently have WM6.1, if I have a longer sms ringtone, when i receive the ringtone will keep playing, even tho i read the sms and replied....
Is this normal?
Can I somehow Fix it?
Thanks,
Have a Great Day!
How is that a bug ?! Make a shorter ringtone!!! Problem solved!
DUH!!
In this day and age, do we even have to say that anymore?!?
I mean COME ON.
IT is a Bug!
its a bug because how come on other phones, when a txt message arrives, if u press any button, the ringtone immediately stops????
Na its not a bug its how the dash reads the file.
I would really like this "feature" added as well. Or a way to implement it with a registry edit, etc.
I use a very long, beeping sound byte for my text message arrival sound. The reason I do this is for work purposes. I receive pages to my mobile phone. If I receive the page and then start to view the new text, it would be nice if the sound would stop playing automatically.
I realize that this thread has been buried for sometime now, but I recently discovered this problem as well, and wanted to see if anyone has come to any resolution to this (besides the ones that say make it shorter etc etc). A real resolution like a reg edit or something of the sorts. Thanks.
its common sense make it shorter.. jus time it.. um cmon

You obviously missed my posting. I want to be able to hit a button, and make it stop. I realize that making it shorter will fix this, but that's not what I'm after. There is apparantly no fix for it as of yet, and your answer would be the obvious, but again, not what I was looking for. Thanks for not even reading my post.
no problem thats why lm here lol
damnit i missed all the [email protected]#
its not over yet ha ha it jus begun
do you know why when i add guns n' roses - november rain (9:12 long) as my text beep, it plays for 9 [email protected]!#[email protected]
jk man...honestly its not a bug...its the length of the file...there is software you can cut up mp3's with to make them the length you want. i ran across something today...let me go see if i can find it...ill send it to you if you want. let me know.

you could just go the htc touch/diamond attchments. im pretty sure theres an mp3 trimmer
LOL, I understand that its not a bug within the Excalibur itself, but any other (as a matter of fact EVERY other) cell phone I have ever come across, (roughly 30 or so) has had that feature. Yes, thats what we'll call it... a FEATURE. Ok, so, let me rephrase my whole posting.....
Has anyone come across any software that will add the FEATURE of making the "file" stop playing by a key press? If so, I would greatly appreciate it... Thanks.
Example:
If im upstairs, and I don't hear the phone, and come back downstairs, then I would love to hear the end of the 3 or 4 minute song thats playing to let me know I received a text message. I'm not going to just go check it every time just because I just came back downstairs. Now if the phone is in my hand, I would love to just be able to push a key and make it stop. That simple.

sure...the feature is called use a smaller file.
Edit. Edit. Edit.
we messin with you.. we kno wat u talkin bout.. like other phones.. wen u wanna read it.. the song will jus stop.. but theres nothin you can do.. its not a bug.. thats jus the way it is.. if u find somethin hit me up
yea man...other phones might...this does not. i offered a tool for you to create and chop files. you dont want it...thats cool man. take care
Ok, good to know we're all on the same page. Thats just it, I don't want to make it all small, its kinda like it was in my example. For that reasoning... Sort of.

i just picked up a Dash yesterday... so far im likin the phone and itll definitely hold me off till i get my tilt.. anywho... today while i was on a call i recieved a text and midcall my txt alert tone started playin and i couldnt even hear who i was talkin to any longer.... i didnt find anything in the settings to stop that so im guessing there might be a registry edit or something to fix that... is there one or was that a one time error that probably wont happen again?
noone has the same issue? its extremely annoyin now.. midcall the phone just starts playin my sms alert tone really loudly..
Dont know, happens to me all the time but never seen a fix
best thing
the only thing you can do to stop that is to put your msg tone on vibration. Hope this helps
theres a setting in accessibilty, then goto in-call alert and just turn it down or off

How long is the ringtone as you call it??? Is it a song? Or the default tone?

What do you mean you tryed shorter? Just use the default text alert to see if it carrys on in a loop? If not already tried this?
The .wav or .mp3 will not stop untill the sound plays out if it is long.

Yes i do but what is the prognosis please be a bit more specific on what is wrong when you use the default message tone.
Stylez, is it just me, or are you completely confused with what the problem is too?
So from what I've read, the message tone starts, doesn't loop(start over), but it never ends. So has it grown artificial intelligence and refuses to stop when it reaches the end? and just keeps making up new tones so that the party continues on and on and on....
I'm totally misunderstanding the problem here I think
I don't think he understands what you are asking (LOOPING). Might I suggest not using any sound notification at all then. Change your settings to no sound notification. (SIMPLE) or you can try Vibrate Notification - if the vibrate loops too then you will have to turn that off as well. (Looping refers to once the track has reached it's end, it starts over again, and again and again and again................................................. If it is not looping, then the track will stop playing once it has reached the end. A song can be only so long. I have never found a song that lasts forever; however, there are some Pink Floyd Songs that are over 20 minutes. ***DONT USE THOSE***
This is the best I can suggest since I haven't used your device. I have the Touch Elf.

I'm with you on that one, i think he's not sure himself what is going on but we will see?
I'm off to bed will dream about how to sort out the artificial intelligence message ringtone tone thing.
This could be a retoricle thread or could end up in the hall of shame
Hotrod101 maybe i need to leave the terminology @ home surely everyone know what a loop is??? so if i ing what's it do???
Alright guys, I think I know what he's trying to say.
I've had this similar problem before.
I think this is what he's trying to say...
1)He set a custom alert,(a song), for his text message.
2)He gets a text, and bingo - it starts playing his selected ringtone.
3)So he picks up his phone, goes to the text message, and wouldn't you know? The ringtone won't stop playing even though he's clarified with the OS that he's acknowledged the message, (therefore expecting the ringtone to stop). Hell, he may even be creating a response to the message already, but the alert still won't stop....
4)So what does he do? He sets a shorter ringtone; shortens the length of the song, hoping it'd make a difference.
5)BUT, it doesn't. Why? I believe this is because that is one flaw in the dash's OS, (if you wanna call it that). Even though you may have acknowledged the new text message, it will stay play THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ALERT you have assigned it.
EX) Phone says, "I have a new text?!, play the designated alert! What? You already know you have a new text message? I don't care mufucka, I got a job to do, and that's play the full [length] alert I was told to play!"
If you notice, the pre-installed text message alerts, are relatively short.
So did the programmers just say, "f-it, we can't seem to make it so the alert stops playing once a message is read/acknowledged, so we'll just install short alerts", who knows.
Ok, I got this now, since you explained it. Let me put this so even mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm can understand.
Hey mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
you have to useeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee a short tone, not a long one, because it will playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy until it finishes the whole toneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............
So use the one of the defaulttttttttttttt tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnessss if you can't make a shorter one yourselffffffffffffffffffffffff. did you get it mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????????????????????????????
Don't use long tonessssssss like you like to make long wordsssssssssssss.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool?

I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of first timers here who don't know much about electronics, computers, let alone these WM devices; therefore; they are not familiar with simple terminologies, or even basic operations of our devices. We don't know anything about this guy.
I mean no disrespect to you or the individual who created this thread.
but you must have seen some of these seemingly rediculous posts / questions -
Not that this one is rediculous
I have answered some peoples questions (Simple to me) but not to them - How do I install a cab? I downloaded the cab but cannot install it because it is zipped and when I unzip it is is not there? My weather app displays the wrong temperature? (this was a matter of this user having to change his weather settings from Celcius to Ferhenheit.) We are all learning as we go, some of us have been in the game a lot longer then others. Those just starting out (NOOBS as they are sometimes referred as) have to learn somehow eventually. Even those who have years and years of experience and education can get confused, over think things, or just plain forget. Sometimes out of frustration, we cannot see the obvious. That is why these forums are so great. We can ask for help from others who will be objective.
I have never seen this problem before and it may be a legitimate problem (Who knows) It is interesting to me to find out and learn about it because maybe it might happen to me.

Yep i also answered one half an hour b4 this even had to check 2 c if double post, if u want to use a custom sound song whatever? Google Audacity it's free and chop the sound up, sorry answer short, i'm one eyein phone, can't sleep must turn off Dash the light is shining.
I think I may have stumbled onto a solution to our dreaded quiet phone that doesnt notify us of a SMS or MMS and possibly email when the phone goes to sleep or standby. I have searched asked inquired, and beat every search engine and found absolutely nothing. So being frustrated of seeing msgs pop up when I hit the power button to wake the phone up I went hunting and I think I found it. I tested this all of today and so far I havent missed one yet, and normally I miss at least 3 a day. Its still in a testing phase so I DONT guarantee this works, but with some feedback with others, it might be the solution. I did alot of comparing with my other phones and my 8125 and 8525 had a different value so i changed it to that value.
I have made it a cab file so that anyone who wants to try it can uninstall it if it doesnt work, I suggest a soft reset after making this change. This changes the following location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
Good Luck! And if it works or doesnt, please leave feedback of either thanx or didnt work, like I said so far its working on my att tilt 2 stock eu rom 1.86
Nice one, but its already been solved here.

Well at least its here, I know there is a ton of posts going around in here about this problem, and I did munerous searches, but obviously if you dont get the right keyword you'll never find the post.
so what does this do? light the screen up everytime there is a message? or basically just solve the problem of message not ringing in sleep mode?
Basically it does the same thing it did with the 8125 and the 8525 when a msg comes in the screen wakes up from sleep, so far (I thought) I might have found a solution, but it seems I was beaten to it.
So far there isnt a solution found yet of the alert coming thru without lighting the screen up as far as I know.
yea, i thought it lights up the screen when msg comes. I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep without locking it, so it might cause problem when i put it in my pocket as i receive message more than calls.
Thanks anyway mate

Yeah but if you have the end key setup as a long hold it will lock the screen to prevent that accidential tapping of the screen. Unless you have a modded rom then you would have to see what key it is. But hey for me its better then missing a msg.
Hi AngelDeath,
Just wanted to say thx for this one -I realise this thread is old, but it's sorted my no sms alert issue on my HD2. It had been driving me nuts for ages!
Hi... it's me agian... with my new Omnia 7... is there a way to have both the ringtone and vibration going on at the same time?... sorry for my english,.. i'll try to explain it better: right now when someone calls me the vibration starts for few seconds, then stops and the ringtone starts (without vibration).
Is there a way to have them both forever and ever (happily ever after)???
at present, no. maybe best to bring this up on social.microsoft.com, or check there to see if someone has already asked (as i think it has been asked here before as well).
I'm a bit disappointed right now...

As a matter of fact, it has indeed! When I'm in a loud area and my phone is in pocket, I can't feel the vibration because it's too short and the sound because of the loudness.. You will say:"keep it in vibration mode" but then I would have to replay " I spent 500€ for this thing I'd like it to do at least the basics"... Then you would say: "why did you buy it in the first place, then?!.." ...and we will go on and on and on.... :-D
What's the deal with the loud advertisements on the pages now? I was very abruptly greeted with an advertisement this morning while at work talking about non-sense and it made me have to mute my computer. This is kind of a pain and to be honest the first time that I have every had an audible add that didn't give an option for muting. I know you guys have to pay to keep the lights on...but this is going to be a big nuisance for many users.

Will do! Thanks for your help!
whats the go with this? almost all the pages i load now have adds playing with the volume on straight away. normaly you have to unmute it but all the adds im getting are unmuted first and to make it stop playing you have to click on it to open a new window and it stops
I thought I was hearing stuff the other day. Couldn't figure out what was talking lol.
if you have an XDA page open just scroll to the bottom right and you should see it playing. soooo anoying when you open 5 different windows up and they all start playing loudly -.-
PLEASE FIX, i know you guys need to make money. but do the adds really need to automatically play sound??
Hey guys that admin provided a solution above...if you witness a loud advertisement take a screenshot of it and send to the admin above so they can take care of it
