i have had this problem since i got my touch pro....i have a .mp3 as my notification for SMS and its about a min long. after i read a message, respond, and close it the .mp3 keeps playing..i would prefer the sound to stop after i open the message.....is there some tweak or perhaps program that can resolve this?? Any responses are welcome and thanks in advance
im guessing no one else is having this same problem....come on devs im sure there is some way to resolve this...im sure there are a few people with SMS notifications that are longer than a min....on my old MOTO a1200 i culd simply push the volume togggler either up or down and be able to silence the ringer immediately..and this phone is far more advanced
I am guessing most people just have shorter notification sounds. I never made mine longer because i never thought there was a way for any device to cut off the sound.

So here's the thing, on any cellphone, whenever an SMS comes in, a sound or tone can be set for it, and when you open the message, the sound stops. On an xda2, the sound just continues even though you already opened and read the SMS.
Can this be altered in the registry?
I cant use long SMS sound notifiers because, every time an incoming SMS is received, the whole sound clips plays and its annoying.
mate, you saying that the sound played for your sms is continuous but not repeating? that's what happens when the sound/wav file used for the notification is too long; i think the unit will keep on playing it until the whole file is finished. similar to your alarms; unless you click it off the unit will finish the sound or loop it (if you want it too). if this is the case you can just change the wav file assigned to the sms notification...a shorter one would help..
cheers
yup, its continuous, even after opening the SMS. A long SMS notifier would be okay, but as ive said, its annoying if while im reading the SMS, the sound still plays. Hope theres a workaround for this.
Yeah its really annoying when you can't stop the sound while reading the message! :?
I was forced to assign a 1 sec length wav file instead of my favourite sound
I wonder why they didn't solve this issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turning the sound off when you go to look at the message usually works for me
well, its not that practical way to do so....!! :!:

It could work, but its still a 2 step process. DCS? Waxx? ZeroExtreme? Any answers to this?
Hi All, I've noticed that a few times my TC has stopped playing alerts for SMS & Emails. I've gone into the "alerts & notifications" page, and when I select the SMS or Email drop down and hit the play button, it still doesn't work. (Standard phone call ringer still works though)
As soon as I change the choice of alert, and back again, it starts working again.
Any idea what's causing it to stop, or maybe hang? I've tried using different tones, but it's still the same; works for a while and then doesn't.
try after changing u,r sound profile.
FWIW, I had the same problem with my Touch/Elf when using an MP3 for alerts. Sounds like a little software bug to me.
jefmcg, I've tried changing the MP3s to WAV but it still happens.
Alipi, you seem to be right, it happens after I've change to silent and back again. It doesn't seem to put the email and SMS tone back to normal volume.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I'm using the O2 profiles app to change profiles, as the HTC home one doesn't allow you to put any additional ones on. I like to have a "sleep" profile, which doesn't beep for SMS or email, but does ring the phone.
Open to any suggestions or workarounds!

Hi,
I have the same problem. But until today I though I´m alone . And I haven´t investigate that it arises after I switched form silent to "normal". Have to look into this as well...
Sorry, but I haven´t got any workaround, maybe someone else...
Pobably dont belong in this thread but i have the exact same issue/problem with my Tmo Wing, everytime i change the sms tone (incoming text) it works fine for the first 5 or so text but after that just goes silent when receiving new ones...a fix or advice would really be appreciated...i have no clue
UPDATE!
Ok, so I'm an idiot!
I thought I had deleted the mp3 versions of my ringtones and replaced them with wav files, but I hadn't. I've since done it, and whilst they do sound slightly different (crap converter?), it SEEMS to have fixed the problem....
...at least I've tried to move in and out of silent a few times, and the tones still sound!
So, guys, perhaps try converting them to WAV and go from there. FYI, my tones sit in the windows folder.

No - for some strange reason, ring tones need to be in \WINDOWS\RINGS, but SMS and other notification tones need to be in \WINDOWS.
Yet Another Update!
OK, so converting to WAV, only worked for a while, it did eventually stop beeping for texts and emails.
HOWEVER... philip gave me a great recommendation of PocketZenPhone, which is much more powerful at managing profiles, and especially on the text and email alerts, ACTUALLY WORKS!
Hi guys,
I do not know if anyone else has this problem but when I receive a message on my phone and the ringtone rings, it keeps on ringing no matter what I do or whatever button I push till the tone finishes.
Does anybody have any solution or is it like this with every touch cruise?
Thanks

It's perfectly normal. The only interruptible notification sound (the WAV ones) is the alarm one.
Hi, thanks for the reply. But it is a problem for me because when I receive a message I want to hear it and then be able to stop it, but ofcourse it doesn't. I read my messages I close the inbox and the stupid thing keeps ringing. Btw, is there a software that has an option to stop the ringtone when you press some key/screen?
funny... i have the opposite problem. i don't hear or see anything when i get an SMS other than a mark that i have 1 unread sms. no sound.. no notification.. no vibration.. nothing. and i tried changing the notifications in settings but it didn't work.
i used RingToneManager but it has a problem that you can't mute SMS messages.. so i get this annoying tone in class all the time. somewhat uncomfortable.

Thanx
i put my own ringtone on my text mes but when i am on the phone with someone and i receive a text mes i can hear the song playing and so can they the only to turn it off is pushing the end button but then it cancels my call
try getting a piece of software to shorten the song and then use that instead
where do i get that
how about
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimedia_and_Graphics/Misc__Sound_Tools/Power_Sound_Editor_Free_2009.html
havent tested it and may not be 100% what you need but you get the general idea
strange that they can hear it. when i get a tone during a call only i can hear it.
I second shortening the sms tone... tho that doesn't completely solve the problem.
i'm not aware of a solution as i never heard it was a problem
i'll get back to you if i find anything
hey guys well i just got the fuze and i absolutely love the phone, but one thing im coming across is i set the notifications for my text messages
sound: Communique_Perfect Weapon
Flashing Light: No Limit
Vibrate: On
for some odd reason i would not get any notifications, only the ring would light up but no sound or vibrate, but when i soft reset it it would work only ONCE and then rest of the time the same ol thing, when i change the sound to Alarm4 or any other sounds that are from the WM6.1 itll notify me fully, can it be because of the sound file?? or is it something else? plz tell me if theres a fix for it, thnx
UPDATE: nvm i seem to find my way around it
