Quick ringtone, vibrate question
 

So I flashed my phone to WM6 and i finally was able to switch ringtones for things like text messages, but not when I get a text, the ringtone that i made, will play the entire length, and vibrate (if vibrate is on) for the entire length of the song. Before as soon as i got the text message and dismissed it, or read it the ringtone would stop after that, but not now.

Does anyhow know how to fix this, is it a registry thing or what?

Oh what type of file does it have to be a alarm clock ringtone, wma? And what is the screen resolution when displayed horizontally?

Thanks

Ok, tones for the alarms and such must be .wav and placed in the Windows directory. The resolution on the device is 240*320 vertically or 320*240 horizonally. As for the ringtone and vibe characteristics, try this.

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

weedahoe,

Thanks for posting that information. I just ran across it a few days ago, but didn't bookmark it. However, I was really hoping you would answer gopher2011's question on how to make the notification stop playing the sound when it is dismissed. WM5 did it as far as I remember, and that's probably the ONLY thing I miss from WM5.

Most of the time I don't mind listening to the 10 sec or so clip of Raining Blood as my text message notification, but sometimes it's just not necessary or appropriate.

I cant tell you how to make it stop responding or playing the tone as mine does it also, sorry.

Believe me I know what you mean. Sometimes I forget and leave my ringer on and turned up all the way and when I am at lunch in the company cafe I get ALOT of looks when my phone screams that I have new messages.
