Actually I have two different issues that are somewhat related...First, i think he's talking about the text message ringer. For example...if i set a ringtone to my text messages(songs that is) and i recieve a text message, there is now way to shut the ringer off...it just keeps playing and playing and vibrating and vibrating....the only thing that will make it stop is a power down or soft reset.....whats even weirder is if i recieve a text message while the first message is ringing it plays the ringtone a second time in the background...so not only can i not stop the first one but there a second one that i cant stop either...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!....now for the second issue....i downloaded mring for my phone and it allows me to stop the problematic ringer from before by pressin any button on my phone (GREAT!!!!!!!!) no, not great...when i set my text messages to ring and vibrate it rings, but no vibration occurs...and if i have it on vibrate only...it doesnt vibrate either....at first i thought it was problem with my phone, but the vibration on telephone calls works fine...it's only text messages...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!! if anyone can fix the problem im having with mring that would be great cuz i want to continue using that program seeing as how i purchased the product and now that im having that problem its basically useless...

hi i am fairly new too this stuff and what i think is happening for the first issue may not be happening.....but only a professional can correct tht....when a txt message ringtone plays it basically plays the whole song or ring..before it stops....it almost as if when u recieve a text message windows media player launches in the background and just plays till the end....but it dose not do that for phone calls because any musical content or data service is stopped the second you recieve a phone call...as for the vibration issue i have no idea what too tell you oon that...but what u can try is use small sound files as ringers tht way they wont overlap each othereaside from tht i think there is a registery key tht you can change to achive a limited time ring when a text message is recieved....
as for the reg key you will have to search the forms for tht i believe....
What i do is crop my songs / sounds for text messages. I crop them to about 2 seconds or a little bit more and I dont worry about ongoing sounds playing.
Also you can change the settings on your phone to vibrate and ring, ring, vibrate and so one. See if any of those settings are interfering with your notifications.
Ive tried all of your suggestions in the past..the whole reason im using songs as ringtones is so that im aware of when im recieveing a text...if i wanted a 2 second ringer id use a stock one...guess the problem is unfixable...thanks for th input tho

Hello,
I'm missing calls with this unit all the time. When I call the unit, it does not even ring until second or third ring... am I doing something wrong here?
I'm with Fido.
Thanks
I had the same whith ELF . The problem is that it has priority for data connection . (and i can guess that you are checking mail every 5 min with sevelal accounts ). so when it use mail-push ----you miss calls
Solution to my mind is to check mail manualy or not every 5 min
I myself have ELF for telefon and reminder and X7500 only for DATA (mail internet massanger) and as organizer (more convinient to write than with ELF)
You can also call your carrier and ask them to add more time before voicemail picks up. My mother had this problem - picked up after 3-4 rings so she never had time to get it out of her purse. She got it extended to 6-7 rings and now she's fine.
My Athena rings on the 2nd ring, but my Jabra starts vibrating on the 1st, so I haven't had a problem.

Make sure you use a .wav ringtone and not a .wma one
normally there is a 3 second delay. Try changing the registry to remove the delay
You've just to edit the follwing reg value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
edit "Script" value to apw0r
that's a zero in apw0r
Another issue that effects the time to ring is the type of ring tone. .wav files will ring quickest.
I just found a long list of registry hacks, and one of them might be very useful for this thread - you can change how the phone rings/handles incoming calls. Maybe playing around with this you can get your phone to ring sooner?

i found this at one point but i cant find it anymore. has there been a reg edit or a cab to press a button and stop the ringtone from ringing. please dont tell me to make shorter ringtones i am aware of this but sometimes theres no good place to cut a ringers and ir woul just end too abruptly. so if someone can let me know please greatly appreciated. i have a mogul but the telus version
This might have been the thread you thought you saw.

I don't think this does what you want though. Doesn't it stop when you press ignore? I can't think of it right now. Maybe you just want any button to do this, but then you couldn't answer. Maybe explain this one more.

Hi there..
I have the t-mobile G2 TOUCH, hero that is, and I cant seem to find out how I could change the ringtone for my notifications.
The thing is. When I change it like it should normaly work, it keeps on giving me the lousy and way to loud t-mobile notification sound.
when i receive a mail it does give the chosen sound, but when i receive a text message it gives me the **** t-mobile tone again.
I did i guess everything i could (to getting the maps on the root for ringtone, alarm and notifications. I can see the files, but like i said before, i only hear them on my email receiving and not my text messages.
anyone familiar with this problem and if so, got an answer, or should i go back to the store and swap the fone now it is still possible...
thnx
The message tone is different to the notification tone. Go to messages - menu - settings - sound and change it there.
you most definetly are my hero
alsmost returned the poor thing haha
i never guessed that nor would i have found that one!
many thanks
Your welcome
I love Steve's AOKP PUB Rom but I seem to have one really irritating issue upon using it. I set my ringtone and notification sounds to the ones i always use. Pyxis for Ringtone, and Don't Panic for notifications. Then i noticed that i was not hearing the sounds during incoming phone calls and texts. So i go into the sound setting to see whats up and they both have unrecognized sounds listed. When i try to re-establish the original setting all the choices are gone except for 2 or 3 instead of the usual several dozen. If i use Root Explorer to go into the media folder all the ogg files are still present. Sometimes they come back upon a reboot. Sometimes they dont. Anyone else seen this or know whats happening? Thanks.

Same here. I'm back of AOKPBRAVO at the moment because of the sound issues. One thing that helped me a bit was to disable vibrate with ring and have ring only but it still would lose the ringtone and on calls the screen would light up and i had missed calls because the ringtone wouldn't be recognized.
I have noticed this same issue and believe I have found a work around for the problem. First take off the Vibrate on incoming calls. Then in the root of your sdcard there is a ringtones folder. Make sure that the ringtone is in that folder. With some of these new roms, they will only play ringtones that are in that folder plus the default that the developer chooses. Go into contacts and set the ringtone for the contact. First I would do it as a test ringtone on a number you can call from. If you have the same ringtone for multiple people then you have to make a new copy of that file. It will only play it for the last contact you assign it too. That is how I cleared my troubles with it. Hope this works out for you.
When I get calls, it just shows the name of the caller but doesnt play the tone. I even moved the ring tone to the phone (Samsung S2 i9100) internal memory. Still nothing. Sometimes it vibrates once and then again no sound. Sometimes plays the first 1 seconds of the ringing tone and goes silent (It is not on Silent/Vibrate mode, Volume is on highest) Please tell me a way to fix this soon please. Im missing alot of calls and getting blasted by alot of people
