challenge to developers

[ajk511]

Ok, so on every dumb phone I have ever had you can hit the volume button on the side of the phone to silence the ringer for both incoming calls and SMS. On every WM phone you can only do this for incoming call. Kind of sucks because I want a long sms ringer so if im in the next room it gives me more of a chance to hear it, but it also sucks when you have a 30 second ringer that you cant shut up. So here is my challenge, someone develop and app that will allow you to silence the sms ringer with a button push. I don't have the slightest idea how to go about doing it, but i'm sure someone on here can do this fairly easily.

Mabe this totally isn't what you're looking for, but this is my solution.
I'm using PhoneAlarm. When I have a missed call or SMS, it gives me a
warning every 30 seconds for 30 minutes long.

That would solve you're missed SMS/calls problem.

I'm afraid developing an app for this, is much more difficult.

not really what im looking for but definitely a good solution for the general problem. So anyone know why its so hard to develop an app that can interrupt the sms ringer?
