Unable to mute or stop SMS message ringtones during playback
Dec 13 2006, 3:37 PM EST
If I set a longer ringtone (MP3 or MIDI) to ring when I get a new SMS there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the ringtone short, you have to let it ring all the way through. Test this by setting Jig as you SMS ringtone and send yourself a SMS and see if you can figure out how to stop the ringtone before it finishes, short of turning the phone off that is. I have server monitors that send out SMS messages when there is an issue, 24x7, so I need to have a ringtone that is long enough to wake me up but I also need to stop it when I'm awake. 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

There is no way to stop the SMS, MMS, or email alerts when they are sounding. The entire file will play so you may just want to shorten the file. Do you find this valuable?

All you need is a trimmer to cut the file to what you want to hear. Do a search and you'll find one. Do you find this valuable?
