simple text message tone question

[jug6ernaut]

when your getting a call you can press the scroll button and the sound will stop...is there anyway to do this for when you get a text message? thanks in advance :)

Hi,

I posted a similar question a few months ago relating to this on my XDA IIi, Orbit & Vario as I like to have lengthy MP3's as my incoming text ringtones but sadly nobody gave me an answer...

I did get round it by installing PhoneAlarm & when a text comes through you can either press the incoming text icon which will make the tone stop & take you to the text message or press the mute icon which will obviously make the tone stop...

Cheers

Hi,

Yeh, I thought a lot of peeps use MP3's for text tones and would get a few answers but neve mind also forgot to say that I downloaded the New Carbon skin to get this to work for PhoneAlarm, there are a few other skins but this was the one I liked...

why are you using a full song if you won't want to play it. How about chopping the head off the song and using it?

Probably the same reason I do - when I'm at home, I leave the phone wherever. Can't hear a short message tone from across the house!

Would be more convenient to take ur phone with u. I leave the phone around me, not neccessarily in my pocket but on a table or a bed or a sofa near by.

Lack of true in-built profile control is one of the remaining, glaring issues of WinMob.

That's why the first thing I install on every new phone - and the first thing after any hard reset is phoneAlarm.

Hi,

I am not using a full MP3 as a tone, I pick my fav MP3 tracks then cut out about 30-40 seconds of the part I want to use as my tone, then If I am in the house but not near my phone I can hear when a call or text arrives, but if I am out with my phone on me I can then cut the incoming tone as I mentioned with PhoneAlarm, I am happy with this set up, the standard tones that come with the phone usually only last for about 3-5 seconds...
