Ringtone fix

[Psych0t1c]

I get this bug where I set an mp3 ringtone and whenever I get a text or email the ringtone will play and still play after I checked the notification. Is there a fix for this?

No. That is how windows based phones work. That is why ringtones for texts and alarms have to be put in a separate location than regular ringtones. All the default notifications are filtered to a specific length for that reason. The only real fix is to use shorter tones. You could try a 3rd party app for ringtones and notifications but they may do the same thing.

I know that and I know what folder to put them in. I only have this problem on one rom and he doesn't know either. I thought there was a reg tweak or something.

Every windows phone I have used had this issue and I never found a way around it.

The only ringtone I have been able to place and actually use on my phone was for the default ringer...I cant get seperate ringtones for each contact like I could on my other HTC phones. I am also having trouble setting ringtones for my email as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

To choose ringtones for each contact just open the contact, choose edit, then scroll down to ringtone and select a new one.

SMS, alarms, and email notifications all have to be put in the \windows\ directory or my device\application data\sounds folder.

I tried that and there wasn't an option for that until I copied all of my ringtones to the Windows folder on my phone. Once I did that everything worked just fine.

Thanks
