Stop playing email ringtone

Is there a way to stop playing a new mail ringtone. For example I have the Alarm ringtone set for new email. When a new email arrives it starts playing the Alarm ringtone. I look at the email and it keeps playing the Alarm ringtone. Why does it keep playing the ringtone, I'm looking at the email? The phone doesn't keep ringing after I answer it. I can't even turn down the volume of the ringtone.
The reason it needs to be a loud ringtone is because it needs to wake me up in the middle of the night. However it doesn't need to keep playing after I've looked at the email.
If it can't be done is there an app that will stop it's notification once the email is viewed?
I thought I was going to be able to do it using Notifications, but it looks like Notifications is visual notification only.

Do you have a long ringtone assigned to these types of messages? Different OS versions on the phone can sometimes handle this differently. Try a shorter message notifier, not a long mp3.

HT1689 My IPhone stopped playing any audio except the ringtone. Any ideas?

My IPhone stopped playing audio such as my music or applications with audio. The only sound it makes is the ringtone. I read some blogs where people said to plug in headphones and then unplug them. I tried that and actually had audio a couple of times but then it was gone again. Any ideas?

You could have dust, or a partical in the headphone port that is causing your phone to think there are headphones plugged in. Look into the port and gently blow it out if there is anything in it.

Ringtone set for text alert, doesn't stop playing

i have a ringtone set for my text alert, whenever it plays and i toggle the silent switch the ringtone keeps playing, especially if I get multiple texts. How do I fix this?

I have also run into this with using the Web Object Interface and pointing it to an HTML page that we host which displays a streaming (Video On Demand or VOD) video ever since we started using Captivate 7.0
What is strange about this is that this problem only occurs in the FLASH-format published output from Captivate (we now use 7.0.1).
When testing out the exact same course using the HTML5 output that was published (tested on an iPad) the audio from the previous slide actually stops playing when we go to a different slide. This is the desired result and it works fine.
I have just posted a bug report at the link that you provided (thanks) because the part of the Captivate program which publishes the Flash version of the course does not seem to be destroying the previous web object when the student goes to a different slide.

Music stops playing when recieving a new email / whatsapp / ping or any other notification

Dear All,
I want to use my blackberry as audio device when riding my bike. However i noticed that it just stops playing music when there is a new notification, once thats has been cleared, it just resumes playing. This is highly unusable 'cause the torch is somewhere in my jacket.
Could someone help me out here? I saw that this was a common problem and i find it very unlicky that cracking my blackberry (which i bought for 800$) is the only solution to make it work like a 20$ mp3 player.
Cheers!
Pascal

When I want music only I set my alerts to vibrate only so it wont be interupted
Try a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC. Then try again and see if your problem persists.

IPod stops playing when using Safari

Ever since I updated to 1.1.2, everytime I'm listening to the iPod and open Safari to surf, the iPod stops playing after about a minute or two. The song isn't over, and its not at the end of the playlist. The music doesn't fade out either, like its receiving a call or email. Just straight up cuts out. I tried restarting the phone, which helped the first time, but now it starting doing it again. I've searched for answers elsewhere, to no avail. Thanks!

I had heard about this for quite awhile, but never experienced it. Then the other day I was sitting outside an Apple Store, listening to some music and decided to take advantage of the free wifi for a moment. Suddenly every song would stop everytime a page loaded or a I used the back button. Totally reproduceable.
I held down the start/off button and turned off my iPhone, waited a few seconds, turned it back on, and the problem went away -- at least for the time beling.
Sorry I don't know a permament solution, but that did work for me.

My Droid Ultra stopped opening emails

My Droid Ultra stopped opening emails. How do I get it to open them?

Franks73
I'm sorry to hear about the suddenn trouble with your emails! We definitely want to get this up and running again. What happens when you try to open an email? Are you using the pre-installed email application or one that has been downloaded from the Play Store? What email domain do you use (ie @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @aol.com, etc.)?

For certain songs on my iPhone 4s with iOS7 some songs stop playing audio but continue playing the song almost as if it were muted. Where can I fix this? Say "Stronger" by Kanye West stops playing sound after 2:25 but it is 5 minutes long.

Basically it is just like it says. Certain songs stop playing sound after a certain point in the song but the song continues playing and ticking down like it normally would. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi I found the answer from another post. So far everything is working find. I been trying to fix this since march,

Deleting the application rarely solves anything on Macs. A better starting point is normally to delete the preference file for the application (in Users/~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist) or see if you have the same problem in another user account on the computer.

HT201401 Hi my 4s has all of a sudden stopped playing sound.

Hi my 4s has all of a sudden stopped playing sound. I have a ringtone but no sound for music/movies etc. tried turning on and of and letting bat go flat then recharging. Sound came back for a while then went again. I noticed this started soon after I upgraded to 5.1.1 . Ive also looked at the error reports the phone generates for apple and there are a few memory low notes. Any help would be appreciated.

We have a WHOLE discussion about the issue over here:
Re: IOS 5.1.1. update bug (Volume Control)
So far Apple is not doing anything to fix the bug with 5.1.1 It's really annoying!

Have you checked all the volume settings? Look under sounds. You also might want to try doing a soft reset.

IPhone 4S stops playing music

Hi, my iPhone 4S randomly (or so I thought) stops playing music but still rings when a call connects and beeps when an email comes in. The on screen volume controls would disappear and the side volume button stopped working too. I have seen many many comments on google/apple etc by people with this same issue. Some people have even gone to the extent of writing blogs about this issue too. I had an old iPod 4 when they first came out and after about a year it developed the same problem. It had been a bit misused by my then young children and assumed it was our fault but when it happened on my 6 month old iPhone 4S I thought it was odd.
I initially blamed my recent software update to iOS 5.01 and hard reset the phone 3 separate times with varying temporary success (if you try a hard reset remember to back up first or you lose everything) I took it to an apple store and the assistant said he'd heard about the issue and after checking all my settings were ok he performed a soft reset which worked until.....I plugged my iphone back into its docking station.
I read a couple of threads online about the iPhone thinking it was in docking station mode and decided to gently poke a thin implement into the dock opening. Immediately and with the smallest of tweaks the volume controls appeared back on screen and my music played. It only appeared briefly but with a little more wriggling of the implement the control came back and so far has stayed put.
Apple want to charge 20 dollars for tech support calls but I've requested a call back for 'one off hardware faults' which makes the conversation free. I want to see what they have to say about what appears to me to be an inbuilt hardware problem. I'll keep you posted here. Beware that if you tinker with your equipment you could invalidate any warranty etc. I'm quite appalled that apple seem to have complete disregard for a their hardware failure and when we, as customers, pay top money for Their products we should expect top quality goods. The hardware should not be routinely confused by periphal hardware or lack thereof. Not good apple.
If you're reading this thread I assume you have the same problems and I wish you good luck. Maybe if we all call their support line (selecting the one off free call option) they might start to listen and do something about it......

I am on my 2ndiPhone 4s (in less than a week) and BOTH have had this stop-start music issue…
I got a new one last night when my original 4s (received on Wednesday 11/02/11) would not play alerts, keyboard clicks, music, or videos without the ear buds or Bluetooth (after nearly a dozen hard restarts, one restore through iTunes and a “deep” restore for the firmware at the Apple store). After I got my replacement, I was told at the Apple store not to sync through iTunes anymore if I am using iCloud because that would contribute to the problem?!?!?! I thought maybe it’s an iCloud problem because it needs a strong Wi-Fi connection which I don’t have here at the office…
I hope this is just a software fix because I am tired of all of these problems. 5 iPhones, 5 iPods and this iPhone (4s) is the worst... Apple, please get that operating system upgrade out FAST!

Itunes 8 congrat it stops playing my music

I've just quote and quote upgraded my itunes to itunes 8 congratulations it just stops playing any of my music and asks me for an old email address which i'm not using any more and does not authorize me to play anything. the lousiest upgrade i've ever seen. help what can i do to revert back to the previous version can't think it's a stroke of 'genius' on the part of our beloved apple engineers

I have a problem that may be related. Here is the summary: M"any mp3's will not play in iTunes or in my iPod, but they used to before the recent versions of iTunes came out. These same mp3 files play fine in Windows Media Player, just not iTunes. The files are listed in iTunes/iPod, just simply will not play when you click the play button (nothing happens at all). These are all songs I bought on CD and imported. When I click "get info" on these files, the summary tab is missing information that is listed for the mp3's that still play correctly. The missing info is all in the column on the right (Format, Channels, ID3 Tag, Encoded with). " Does this sound like the same problem you have?

TS3899 my phone has stopped sending emails

my i phone 5 has stopped sending emails,it has been playing up since 7.02 update

A single email account has 2 different servers, one for receiving and one for sending. BOTH have to be set up separately. I sounds like your outgoing server has "forgotten" your user ID and password.
Sometimes the two servers have the same URL, sometimes different, but even if they are the same URL they use different ports (which essentially makes them different servers) and must still be set up separately.
When you set up the account, after entering your user ID and password for receiving, you must tap the Outgoing (SMTP*) server settings, and enter the server address and your user ID and password a second time for the outgoing server. I know it says "optional", but that is only optional from the phone's perspective; it is not optional from the server's perspective, except in very rare situations where the outgoing server can only be accessed over a private network, and not over the Internet (cwmx.com is an example of an exception; it is AT&T's cellular network SMTP server). The reason it won't automatically use your incoming user ID and password is because there is no requirement that they be the same; for example, you can use Google's SMTP server for sending and a different ISP's server for receiving.

Nokia 6230 music will not stop playing when starte...

Hi guys, i just transferred 3 tunes to my 6230, and set one as a ringtone. When i play them, the quality is great, but they don't stop playing. I tried to set one as a ringtone, and it rang, and rang, and rang even when i picked up it carried on ringing. The only way to stop them is to turn off the phone, any ideas?

Are you using version 6.80.20 of pc suite ? (the latest version).
Rip tracks from cd's using windows media player or nero and then transfer to phone.Works just fine for me.I just copy and paste the mp3 file from pc to phones memory card.I use dku-2 cable connection.
