Text Message Ringer Issue

[bonethugsfiend7]

When I receive a text message or email message on my Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800) I cannot hit the scroll wheel or any button at that to silence teh ringer and I end up having to listen to the entire ringer...I would like to be able to have a ringer that is more than 3 seconds and I've searched everywhere trying to find a solution...Anyone know of anything??? Oh and I've tried opening the message, and I've tried responding...Neither silences the ringer. Thanks
