Smartphone 2003 SMS Notification - HOW DO I SHUT IT UP!?

[Guest craigp]

I have just upgrade my MPX200 to 2003 and have hit a MAJOR problem (for me)

In 2002 whilst the SMS alert was playing I was able to stop the sound by using the down-volume. This no longer works in 2003!

This means you HAVE to listen to the full WAV at full volume even AFTER you've read the SMS!!

PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A SOLUTION!

PS Short ringtones are no good as it is paramount I am woken up overnight! (unless the sound can be repeated UNTIL I READ THE MESSAGE)

[Guest kurtfhouse]

I'm sure I have silenced my little beast with the volume rocker switch since upgrading???

I may have been on a phone call though not SMS can't remember, will check nect time I get a text

[Guest crafty]

you don't have to wait to get a text to check this - you should be able to mark a message as unread to get the same effect.

[Guest kurtfhouse]

Cheers crafty :oops:

I think mine is the same actually, must have been for a phone call then.

Its hard to tell on mine though as I have a short message tone, will test with a longer one..................

[Guest kurtfhouse]

Yep, same bug, how f*cking annoying :evil:

[Guest midnight]

hmmm, you should be able to reg tweak this so that on keypress it turns the sounds off, similar to my led tweak, but instead on keypress play a blank wav once :P

[Guest craigp]

midnight, I would be eternally grateful if you could expand on that.

I am aware you can put 'scritps' in the registry keys but I don't understand how I could play the empty WAV on a keypress. Also, how would this work anyway given that the MPX200 will play simultaneous tones (i.e. if you get 2 SMSs nearly at the same time then you will hear two SMS alerts played slightly out of sync)

Please correct me and help me fix this problem :oops:

i said 'should' :P

i have no idea if it will work, and i dont have an mpx200, so i dont have a way of playing around with this i'm afraid.

[Guest craigp]

Fair enough of course midnight! :P

Would you happen to know then if this is a MPX200 (upgraded to 2003) quirk rather than a 2003 operating system feature? (or do you not have any 2003 device?)

Cheers for trying either way m8!

I'm a bit busy at work now for a couple of days but if you want I will have a fiddle and see if I can get Midnights suggestion to work?

Doesn't effect me that much but little things like that really bug me :P

[Guest craigp]

kurtfhouse,

If you could take a look it would be most appretiated. I find it really frustrating when 99% of things about the smartphone are brilliant yet fundamental things like this are neglected :P

Fingers crossed and thanks again!

I have an i-mate SP3i and this also has the same problem... so I'd guess it's a 2003 OS problem

Any solutions yet?

I'm keen for an answer too, surely it'd be easy for some clever fellow on here to solve this prob?

[Guest rodg98133]

I have a C500 running 2003 and I am not really aware of this happening to mine.
