Is there a single button to silence the sound (from SMS or others)?

I've got a wav recording of my baby laughing as my SMS incoming message sound which is around 10seconds long.
In my old sony ericsson phone (ordinary phones), whenever I receive a message, I just press any button and it stops the sound. I love the longer sound but on certain occassions, like in my office, I would like to turn off the sound using a single button.
With the Kaiser, I tried to press all buttons but it can't be silenced right away. It has to play the recording until the end. My option is to go to the HTC home plugin / audio, then set it to silent mode, which may take a little longer, or I just try to cover the speaker with my hand. biggrin.gif
Would you know of any shortcuts to stopping the sound?
Thanks.

Have you tried moving the wheel on the left down-wards?
Thats what I do when my phone "rings" when someone calls... just knock the wheel down and it silences it

tried it, didn't work.
thanks..

Same here. I chose a song as my incoming SMS that was 3 minutes long. I had to go to the notification settings page to silence it.
Any help would be appreciated.

As the guy above said, scroll the wheel down a turn or two. That silences incoming call alerts.
(And a 3 minute song as a ringtone is not the best idea. Edit it down to 20 seconds)

That didn't work for me with SMS. I scrolled down, up and hit every button on the device and it still wouldn't work. I edited down to about 10 seconds. That's well long enough for an SMS.

same problem
I’ve the same problem with my tytn.....if I don’t have a long sound I don’t see a new sms or mms even if sometimes the short sound it’s better!
also I’ve tried all buttons but they wouldn't work!
So...if don’t have any hardware solution…could I have some chance for a software solution?

How about just leaving you phone on vibrate when at work instead of disturbing everyone around you
Easy solution to you problem and your coworkers will probably thank you for it...

Or you know, using Audacity to pare down the length of the sound file?

thx for the answers....
i work in a lonely room...and the song volume isn't a problem...but i leave the phone everywhere...so i would like to stop the music sound when i've find the phone and i've read the new message!

loud tone when pressing call end button

or any on screen buttons in the HTC dialer. anyone know how to get rid of it? its supppper annoying

A little more information would be helpful -
1. does this tone happen when you press a button while on a call?
2. if it does - does your other party hear it or only you?
3. what buttons does it happen on touch screen buttons or only the buttons on the front of the phone?
4. is this when you have speaker phone on or a headset or simply using the phone?
5. is it only when you hang up or any button at any time while on a call?
6. do the buttons make normal sounds when you are NOT on a call?
7. have you turned off sound on your buttons - have you at least tried this to see if it kills the problem?

when in the dialer go Menu->Options then Keypad: Off

ahh keypad tones off got rid of the annoying beep lol thanks! wish there was a way i keep the beep for the numeric keypad without the obnoxious beep that came out of the speakerphone part rather than the ear piece when backspace/ call history/ speed dial is pressed

jut realized it still makes the annoying noise when it connects to a call

i found that someone had my exact problem on a wings smartphone. they edited the registires in order to turn it off. i played arround with mine all day but no luck. here is the thread if anyone can apply it to a kaiser id be very greatful!

Ringtone disappears when scroll wheel is moved?????

Hi All
I recently lost my ringtone and found a solution on here, so all is fine.....EXCEPT when the phone rings, the ringtone disappears when the scroll wheel (if that's what it's called) is moved.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so found a fix???
The phone carries on ringing silently if I move the wheel, it's just the sound that disappears and that's obviously not very good if it's in my pocket!!
I've tried pressing all the other buttons when it's ringing to see if they make the sound disappear but they don't, it's only the wheel
Any one got any ideas????
Thanks

That's not a bug.
That's a feature...
My TyTN1 did that.
My P3600 did that.
My TyTN2 Does that.
It's the only way of making the phone go QUIET without canceling the call.
Quite usefull actually....

Honestly!!??
It's a feature??
How do I turn it off????

I like that feature very much, too. When someone calls and I don't want to talk to them I just hit the scroll wheel to silence the call but let it continue ringing for them. That way they don't know I'm ignoring them. I can plausibly be out of range of my phone or some other excuse. If you press the end key or hit "ignore" on the phone screen it sends the call immediately to voicemail and the person on the other line can tell they've been actively ignored...
I don't know if it's possible to turn it off.

ive always found it usefull. but sometimes it can be annoying as OP said when its in your pocket

The beginning of every sad story I've heard about screen cracks and phone damage, has always begun with , Well the phone was in my pocket and..............
When I pull my phone from it's padded holster I always look at the caller id first and do not wish to disturb other people while I decide. I appreciate the feature

I'm guessing it's a feature that can't be turned off then

Screen Timeout during Calls

Is there anyway I can turn off screen timeout during a phonecall? It's really annoying when I hit end to end the call but it actually only turns the screen on and I have to hit end again... I would rather have the screen stay on during calls and hitting end (either the physical button or the on screen end, but in this case, probably the on screen end) to end the call. Are they're any apps on the market or any patches for ROMs (I'm rooted running a custom ROM) that I can get to achieve this?
Thanks

i would also love to be able to do this. Toggle would be good for this setting too. When I am on conference calls , I typically use a Bluetooth headset. Therefore I need the screen to stay on to control mute, etc. But when I am using the phone up to my ear screen timeout would be desirable so that i don't accidentally press buttons.

[Q] Proximity Sensor issues during calls

When I'm making a call with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000, the proximity sensor seems a bit... well... unefficient.
Usually, if I need to do something with both hands, like going through papers or using a computer during a call, I put the phone between my ear and my shoulder to hold it. Usually when held like this, the phone isn't entirely pushed against my ear/cheek, so the proximity/light sensor reacts to pretty much everything. When it reacts, the screen is turned on and my cheek sometimes pushes the mute(or speaker or end call) icon, and that gets really frustrating as it happens multiple times during a call, and you can't really notice it.
So you may imagine how it's like to keep on jabberin about something and then you hear your friend going "Hello? You still there? " and then you just go "****, AGAIN!?".
I was simply wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a fix for it. I have been looking all over the web for an app or a mod to disable the proximity during the call, so that the screen would simply go off only if you press the screen lock button. Or so that the screen would at first use the proximity sensor and then disable itself, so that the screen would go on only if you press the lock or home key.
I have been thinking about trying to solve this problem with creating an app through the SDK, but I still kind of lack the knowledge of creating such things (with being busy studying and stuff).
So, if anyone knows an app already or has found a way to solve this problem, I'd be greatful of your advice.

I have the same problem with the proximity sensor on my Samsung Focus.
Probably there are work arounds for this issue - but IMHO the proximity sensor is too sensitive and phone call UI is not very well design (end call button should be at the bottom of the page opposed to the top where it's not and is very easy to press it accidentaly with our ears/cheeks/etc.)

Since Samsung isn't fixing this, why don't you try Sanity app from market. It has many options along with the option to switch off the screen during the call.
Give it s try.

I have this problem since th beginning, with my FOcus. Any luck fixing this? I did increase the count to 75 through the Diagnose mode. But I still constantly find my phone on hold or on speaker or on mute while on call. Please help!!!
