Hi, I believe many of us know how to set mp3 as our ringtone now. But there's 1 more question in my head now.
Many times, when we receive sms, the ring tone will ring.. and using a normal phone, it will kill off the music when any button is press. however, smart phone user like me and you have to wait for it to play finish.
So, anyone gt any solution to kill the music when we read the sms or when we touch any button?
Thanks.
When I press the End Button on my Phone, the sms-music/tone/ring stops maybe that will wirk for you too
negative.. cant...
Don't use full MP3 - Edit the MP3 to a shorter edited version like 10 or so seconds average so that you don't have to wait for the full song to play. It will only play the 10 second clip and be done. When Phone rings it will play the 10 or so second clip and then start over unless you answered the phone.
Yea.. i have edit the music to 15s or so... but sometime during meetings and lesson in class, the phone sms ringtone will go off if i have forgotten to switch to vibrate mode.
no body noe?

hi.. i was thinking of something that may be of use regarding stopping SMS tone sound/vibrate via keypress (or assigned key) or screentap..
maybe if we could have a background program that monitors incoming SMS.. when an SMS comes in, it plays the selected sms tone and/or vibrate - but at the same time, captures all buttons (or an assigned key perhaps - like games) and/or screen areas so that it continues to play the song only if any of these actions (button press or tap) are made -in which the background program will stop the tone and or vibration it is playing..
the thing is, there is really no way of stoping any notification because it is handled by the OS itself..
so, maybe one of the initial requirements for this idea to fully work is to disable the native SMS Sound (and vibrate) notification so that the OS will do nothing upon an incoming SMS.. (it can be done so by unchecking the play sound and vibrate boxes in the incoming text message section of the Sounds and Notifications Settings)
so the SMS notification function (sound and vibrate) will be fully handled by the proposed program suggestion..
imagine it like this..
it is like having a background media player with just 1 song in its playlist and that is your SMS alert tone..
it stays in the background, invisible, but it monitors the sms notification database.
if an incoming SMS (or email whatever) is detected, it starts to play the song in the playlist once..
it then takes control over all physical input controls in the device (buttons, scrolls, volume sliders, touchscreen) - ala buttons locking program - in which all of the input controls are assigned as a STOP playing function..
so when you press a button (or tap the screen whatsoever) the program will stop the background music, unlock all buttons to it's normal functions and returns to the background - awaiting another incoming SMS..
another analogy can be made is that it is like an alarm clock program, it stays in the background, but instead of waiting for a time to strike before activating the alarm, it waits for an incoming SMS (or email whatsoever).. and like alarm programs, it will become activated from the background (so that it will become the top/active window/program) and takes control of the hardware buttons and the screentaps (some alarm programs do this so you can stop the alarm with any button or screen tap).. then after dismissing the alarm, it returns to the background and once again wait.. the only difference is, the active window of this program is invisible, meaning, no visible window will be imposed in the screen (only the title bar will change i presume)..
it sounds simple enough.. but i'm no programmer and i don't have any idea if even half of what i said can easily be done..
i just know that these things can be done because such things have already been done or is a part of exsisting programs.
like detecting incoming SMS (can be done by scripting, or have been done by SMS-like programs)
making a program that resides in the background
making a program that is invisible (not detectable by task manager and has no visible window) even if active
and of course music playback and vibration control (aside from media players most of these are alarm programs)
i hope this can help.. and someone can develop a little program from the idea..
thanks..
here is some reference/source code on detecting incoming SMS .. i don't know if it works because i can't read .net and progy stuff.. but i hope it can help

anyone?
guess programmers are busy.. hehehe..
It's more like nobody's interested.
Though I do kinda miss it when my Nokia stops playing the alert/vibrate when I press a button.. but I'm already ok with it right now.
I just make short alert tones 3 - 5 seconds long.
Ok lang yan pre, mga tao kasi dito ayaw ng may additional background services pa dahil every byte of memory counts. Unless kaya talaga nila baguhin ung notification dll, they won't be interested.
I actually wouldnt mind this as well! Although im not a ppc programmer or anything.
But i cant assign a longer sms tone (The one that goes "Message....Message...Message....") and as it goes longer it slowly goes louder and louder.
Love that sms tone but i cant put it on because i cant stop it by pressing a button - which you could do with normal phones.
Im keen to support and this project if anyone takes it!
(Im glad i wasnt the only person who wanted this!)
thanks for the support guys.. upping this again, hoping that some good programmer can spare some time..
yeah.. i really miss the "normal" phone/notification behavior of other Mobile OS..
the problem is so basic that the big annoyance and inconvinience can't easily be tolerated..
it's been a problem ever since people started using a WM phone (and i've been using WM phones for almost 5 years now)..
they say, just assign shorter tones.. but that is not the point.. doing so is not really a solution.. it is more likely tolerating the problem and adding another problem..
the problem with assigning short SMS tones is that you are limited only to short ones (which is a rarity these days), and most of the times the old school cheesy ones..
cropping and converting tones (mostly from mp3 songs) to shorter ones need a PC (or a special in phone program), which is a hassle all the time.. you can't even download and immediately use tone contents off the web/wap/carrier or use tones sent from other people's phones.. you always need to shorten it up so it won't play infinitely when receiving a text message..

Guess no one really wants this except you and myself ytsejam_....haha...
i don't really get it.. it is an OS/Phone function and SHOULD be given attention.. and should have been so, decades ago.. but people are just plain gaga about skinning and all apps and stuff nowadays are centered on making our WMs into iphones (instead of solving OS problems)..
the basic problems and functions already ignored..
well.. just my 2 cents.. i'm also grateful for the nice skin and plugin apps made in this forum.. and much respect for those people..
and.. please.. no flaming thanks
up again..
Upped, has anyone found an alternative or anything?
Hi, just come across this thread. My Samsung Omnia CAN stop the sound/vibration on incoming SMS by pressing the hang button, dunno if other PPC/PDA's will behave the same way
Btw, my old Nokia 6280 worked exactly the same way, just pressing the hang button
this would be realllly nice.. i just want a normal music ringtone that doesnt have to play for 30 seconds everytime i get a text

hey i want this too... its kinda irritating me u see. i have msg tone which is about 10seconds i cant wait that long to read a msg hehehe so everytime when the SMS tone i playing i read a msg while its playing the nexttime a msg comes the sound does not play at all. So im supporting this one hoping someone could do something with this..
maybe if there was a way to play 2 tones but the second would be silent n play when u open a message that might stop the first tone
Up 1. I support this idea too. It's kinda irritating when u in some meeting or conferences while u forget to silent up ur phone. The tone will keep ringing until it end. Me myself met this situation b4 and the bad experience still irritating me... XD
ytsejam_ : Based from your handle, you must've wanted to assign a Dream Theater song as your text tone... That's why you thought of this... Hehehe!
BTT: I support this idea, as well...
I hadn´t look the full API searching for a solution for there problem, but I imagine that there´s now way stop the SO playing a sound after he started. What could happen is to turn-off all the SO notifications for SMS and use another program to show this notifications... then in this new program includes an option to stop play the sms tone...
Testing in my HTC Touch... when I use the hardware button for setting volume... it stop vibration and playing sound for calls and sms incoming...
some idea
i noticed that you can stop the long sms alert by navigating to sounds & notifications - sms tone , and press stop button ■. maybe someone can find the source code to relate this touch button press to hardware button in order to stop the tones.

I ran a test to see how long it takes for my phone to actually start ringing.
And it took at the least 4 seconds to start ringing, by this time the caller has heard the ring in his ear for about 5 rings.
Does anybody know how this can be fixed or to be made faster?
What ring setting have you got ? Vibrate and then ring ?

If i remember right the easiest solution is to convert your MP3 ringtone to a .wav file.
Its set to Vibrate and Ring

That is also in my case.
But... once I had a longer period. I checked the taskmanager and a lot of software was loaded. Maybe a program was too busy.
Then I tested again and loaded a bunch of programs and each time the phone was like above: 1e ring blinking and second ringing.
Of course it is possible that, while calling from the same number, the mp3/wav is already in memory, speeding up the process.
So, after a soft reset, it should take more time.
Did not have time to check that.
Huib
P.s.
My problem is: I keep loosing my ringtones now and then after synching with my PC's

Thanks, I will take a look at running apps and try and see what factors would cause delays like this.
I disabled the touch pro themed dial keypad using advanced configuration tool. The phone rang a bit more quickly using windows mobile default keypad.
Ok so I uninstalled CommPro and it seemed to be much quicker now. It get the ringtone after the second ring.
Thanx
Hello
When i receive an sms, i have a music for about 30 secondes.
What can i do to stop this music before the end ?
Can i do this with some buttom ?
Thank you for your help !!!
nobody to help me ???
if you click on Start Menu > Settings > Sounds & Notifications and then the notifications tab, you should be able to turn off the sms notification sound or change it something erm..shorter?
30 secs is a long time for a sms tune!
Thank you for your help but my probleme is not how to disable the notification, but how to stop ( with a buttom for example)because i am on call all the night for my job and i am called by SMS. I want to stop the ring when the SMS arrive, before all my family is wake up. (my wife is not very easy.Does i change her :??)
Thank you for your help
Why not simply choose a shorter SMS notification? Maybe one that lasts only 2-3 seconds?

You are called by SMS??? That's stupidest thing I ever heard. Isn't phone call better?
However, how fast do you usually react when SMS tune starts to ring?
If you're fast and don't want to wake up your wife, choose shorter tune.
If you're slow and your wife wakes up most of the time, you have two options:
- Change room in which you sleep when you're on call, or
- Change wife
I know that this is not quite answer to your problem, but I have no better one at the moment...
I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to silence my text ringtone (I have a 30 second song clip) by hitting the volume rocker/power button. Just to clarify, I want to silence it while it's going on (as opposed to just setting the phone to silent beforehand).
I know that hitting the volume rocker while the phone is getting a call will silence it, but it doesn't do it for texts or email notifications
Thanks!
I don't think you can do it.
But really, a 30 second sound clip for every single text message? How does that not drive you insane??
To be very honest, I think this was apple's exact argument for not allowing custom sms ringtones

Many times while I'm home my phone isn't in the same room as me, and they were just carry over from when I had my blackberry (in which anytime you hit any button on the outside, it would mute the current ringer). So I usually don't hear the entire clip usually, but it is very annoying if it is in the same room
Edit: Haha well I was sure that because RIM could do it, there would be a way to do it on android. I figured it would have to probably be built into a ROM or something
Hello, and first of all, sorry if my english is bad, I am german
Ok, I own a Galaxy S7 since 2 weeks without branding and with the latest (officially) available Android via Smart Switch.
Everything works fine and all, but one thing is bothering me. The Volume for "media", I mean the volume if you for ex. listen to music, turns itself on to fully loudnes. I don't know why and how to stop this.
If an app is doing this, how can I find out, which one is responsible?
Thanks.
PS: I haven't rooted yet.
Hi, You dont tell, is that problem on speaker or headset?
I have same problem with original headset. After first drop of swat, to headset controls, on training. After dry up, everything back to normal.
WEll, it is combined with the speaker. So I turn the volume down, and after like 3-4 hours, it is on highest volume, without me touching the volume button.
Ok, I may have found out that my alarm clock is one of the responsible apps. As now with Android 7 on the S7, there is no seperate Volume for "alarm clock", but my galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2 had it. So now it is the same as the Media volume. If I want my alarm clock to be loud and wake me up, it automatically has to increase the volume from mute to max :-/
Is there an app, that automatically mutes the media volume from time to time?

Do not disturb built into settings, allows alarms and anything else you add through and keeps everything else silent during those hours
Ok, I never really understood this "do not disturb" mode... I will give it a try. Thanks.

Basically the days & hours you set = when the phone will stay quiet, apart from exceptions you can add to the exceptions list (Like alarms / people added to your favourite list etc)
I have mine set to shutup at 11pm apart from alarms, and to go back to normal sound mode at 8:30am every day
But you can set it up to whatever schedule you like, and/or manually enable it from the notifications pull down at the top (no entry sign)
Great for keeping those people who think it's funny to WhatsApp you at 3am, quiet
