Losing SMS & Email Alert Tones

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!

how to fix incoming call delay

My Tp delayed around 3 secs then ringing after some1 called me,any1 know how to fix it?

Search for 3 seconds delay and you'll find thats its possible by making some adjustments in the registery

Hi,
the reaseon for the delay is the dialer skin of TP.
If you disable the skin then the phone rings imidiatly. But that's don't satisfy be, because the standard WM dialer is very nasty.

The design is just case of opinion. For me is much better than stupid HTC skin in functionality(Smart dialing with national symbols) and can be skinned as well,even tough default design I like. And WM built-in is much much faster and don't spend system resources as HTC's designed. Only thing,that's missing is video calling feature,but I never use that.

You can use the diamond tweak program to get rid of the delay. I believe the option is under the call area of the program. just download the cab and install it on your device. I would link you but I'm typing this from my fuze. Search should turn it up fairly quickly.
Hope that helps

I guess that will not fix the problem as the setting you are talking about deals with the delay to END a call, not with the delay in the beginning when the phone receives a call.
So the tweak program won't help at all.

The stock dialer skin will remove the delay, but you will also lose the bluetooth icon. In addition I've read that you will no longer be able to use the side keys to change the volume while on a call.

advanced config has the setting for time to end a call (default 3000ms). diamond tweak has the setting for ring with delay or without. i can confirm that setting no delay works great... there's still a small delay but now its just like any other cell phone
btw, since this is just a reg setting (and the end call timing) why the !#[email protected] would MS or HTC implement it? is it supposed to be some sort of feature? it's just annoying as bleep and it doesnt help the publics impression of WM, once again, the phone part is really just tacked on...

Wasn't something mentioned about using a .wav file instead of an .mp3 would help out as well or was that ruled out?

Touch Pro Text msg rings tone

I recently bought Touch pro, gr8 phone, but I dunno how to set my own ring tones for text msg, is it possible at all?
I mean its gr8 phone, but its stupid Its not possible or Im doing something wrong?

you gotta dump the sound file in /windows
then it'll pop up in the menu so you can select it

i would just put all the sound files into
Application Data/Sounds...................that way they are all together

Thanks
This solved my 3 month old problem. Thanks.

[Q]Disabling fade-in ringtone?

Is there anyway to disable the the ringtone fade-in for this phone? It's the first phone I've ever had that does this and I personally prefer my ringtones to play at full volume whenever i receive a call...I tried playing with ringtone apps to add a few seconds of silence to the beginning of the ringtone, but it's just not the same. I've also tried the 'volume locker' app and it's not what I'm looking for. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

+ 10 for this, I hope there is a way?

ditto the +10 I too would like to know how to prevent the fade-in. I make my own ringtones, if I wanted it to fade-in or fade-out I would include that in the tone

Count me in, I was disappointed with the fade in...

hmm
just a thought check over in the optimus thread. since alot of the framework for their overlay is still there i wonder if it was an option in settings of their overlay but is just sitting in the framework with no way to modify it now.
i havent ported my number over yet from my verizon phone so im not sure i have gotten more than 1 call so i never noticed this.

[Q] How to reset contact ringtone to default?

Hello guys!
Last night, I set a custom ringtone for a contact via 'People'. I noticed that the effect it has - Calls and Whatsapp notifications from this contact now uses the same custom ringtone which I set yesterday. When I tried to set it back to 'Default', I noticed that there's no 'Default' option in the list of ringtones available. The ringtone which was default can be selected but that would results in Whatsapp ringtone to use that one too instead of its own default ringtone, which is a different one.
Appreciate it very much if someone know how to actually reset contact ringtone back to default? Its driving me nuts!
Thank you.

In settings--->sound--->phone ringtones set it to sense simple
