Text message ringtone additional suggestion

While it is nice being able to set a ringtone for text messages, during the day i do want to have my text message "ring" set to vibrate.  With the newest update (released 11/15/09), you can only set a ringtone, system sound, or mute it.  when its muted, it doesnt vibrate.
I'm suggesting that in addition to those 3 options for text message types of tones, to add in a "vibrate" option so that you dont have to turn the phone into silent mode for that to happen.  I would think to either put in in the messaging app preferences, or in the sound and ringtones on the quick launch menu (i think there would be better and easier to access)
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Thank you for this feedback. I would suggest that you also give us this feedback here: www.palm.com/feedback. This way it can be seen and routed to our developers and engineering dept and see if this can be implemented into webOS.

  • Text messages ringtones are not working in the Storm Two

    Device:  Storm Two running OS version 5.0.0.713 on the Verizon Wireless network.
    Recently, I upgraded from a Storm One to a Storm Two because of a multitude of issues with the Storm One; not enough memory, constant lock-ups; dropped calls, etc.  On the Storm One I had customer ringtones for contacts; so when a contact calls me the phone will sound a specific ringtone for that contact; the same for text messages from that contact. Now that I have the Storm Two the text message tones for the contacts are not working. In fact, even when I select a ringtone for text messages for a contact the phone will ring the generic ringtone that comes with the phone. If I go into the sound profile and change the generic ringtone to one of my own and the contact sends me a text/sms message the phone will ring the ringtone that I selected in the profile that is being used at the time. This is not the way it worked on the Storm One.  On the Storm One; if I have a specific ringtone for the contact and that contact sends me a text message it will sound the text messages tone for that contact. These ringtones have worked for previous devices including my Treo and Palm devices. The ringtone files worked well in the previous Storm One.
    So to make a long story short; I want to know why my text message ringtones are not working as designed/setup-up. If a contact calls me the phone will sound the ringtone for that contact; but if that same contact text me it will not ring the ringtone for the contact. This is annoying and I am at my wits end trying to find out why this is not working.

    Hi Jain....
    Field separator is for separating the fields.That means it will effect every field in the node.
    But end separator is not like that.It will apply at the end ofall fields of a node.It will effect node not a field.
    according to ur scenario if u use data.endseparator 'nl',output will come like this
    2008/0701$101
    2008/0701$102
    2008/0701$103
    2008/0702$105
    if u want new line for every field try to insert a separate node for second field.That means
    MT_DATATYPE:
    Data -
    1:UnBounded
    . .OrderDate----
    1:1
       <Data2>                   1:1
    . ....OrderNo -
    1:1
    now give data.endseparator  'nl'
                data2.endseparator 'nl'
    if possible try like this....

  • TEXT MESSAGE RINGTONES 3.0 UPDATE MISSING

    I'm a huge fan of apple. I'm a huge fan of their products and I convert people to their products all the time.
    Who here wants to see apple make one little change they should have done a while ago to the iPHONE??
    This message's purpose is to create traffic towards this website link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    And help change the biggest set back towards the iPhone. *Everyone should go to that link and POST FIX TEXT MESSAGE RINGTONE AND LET US CREATE OUR OWN!*
    Who here is annoyed with having the same default ringtone option for their text messages? To not have it in the 3.0 update is appalling!!!! I thank the "Apple Gods" for all the new and wonderful things that came with the new 3.0 update, (Copy and Paste). BUT! Where is the new option of being able to create our own ringtones for TEXT MESSAGES! The text message default ringtones are boring and other phones will start to beat you out because lots of people like to have options. WHO IS WITH ME ON THIS?
    Sincerely,
    Dave
    One Concerned and Annoyed YET Biggest Apple Fan.

    We definitely listen and that's where we go to submit your feedback but use it wisely. I don't want to imagine what would happen if that starts getting spammed. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the new features in our updates come from the feedback our engineers receive through that link.
    Handle with care.

  • I dont' see the camera to enable attachment of pictures to text messages anymore, any suggestions?

    I'm trying to attach a photo to a text message and the little camera icon is not there anymore.  I've tried to reboot the phone and checked the settings but I'm missing something.  Any suggestions?

    Is DATA turned on ? Verizon  makes you have data turned on to send/receive media via text.  To use only wifi, send the media via email like with a Gmail acount.

  • Text Messaging Ringtones

    I have a few questions regarding ringtones that go off when text messages are received.
    1. When a text is received, can we have a custom ringtone go off when it's received? Or are we stuck using the pre-set tones that come with the iPhone.
    2. If a contact has a specific ringtone assigned to them, will their ringtone go off if they send me a text?
    Thanks!

    I wanted to add a star trek communicator to my sms alert tone. I'm currently using a program called itoner to sync my one ringtone (the CTU phone ringer from 24). I really don't feel like jailbreaking the phone because I think all the benifits are going come via apple pretty soon.
    Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to add sms alert tones?
    ** Note to the apple guys ** can you ask the engineers to include the star trek communicator sound?

  • Two ringtones with text messages

    I recently reset my phone to factory settings (due to the phone not ringing for incoming calls and the Smart Profile issue).  I changed my Notifications ringtone to one that comes with the phone, but now whenever I get a text message, it plays the ringtone I selected AND the Droid ringtone.  Is there a setting that I missed because it didn't do that before I reset the phone?

    I think i have a solution. 
    By default the text message ringtone is set to be the same as your notification ringtone you chose on the main settings.
    Go into your text messages program and press menu for the settings.  here you can change the text ringtone to be different than the notification ringtone you chose on the main settings.
    So..if those 2 are different you may hear both.  One for the text message and one as a general notification.  I am waiting for someone to text me to see if i'm right.
    Check to see if you have them set to be different tones. 

  • Apple wireless BT keyboard with TEXT MESSAGING?

    I know that I can sync the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard with the my iPhone 4, but I just want to verify that it will work with text messaging, in addition to the usual email, etc. apps. Frankly, that's the main reason I need it. I messed up my elbow from texting so much. I don't want to, but I MUST text a lot, so I figured I'd get the keyboard to save elbow injuries. Sounds silly -- lugging around a wireless keyboard in order to text... but it actually wouldn't be so bad. I do a lot of texting from my house, anyway.
    One more thing -- The wireless keyboard can only be paired with one device at a time, right?

    The Bluetooth keyboard will work with the messaging application.
    I know I always turn the Bluetooth off on the iPhone so when I pull out my keyboard it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Granted I only use it with long emails on the road that would take an hour to write with the keyboard on the iPhone, so it's not too bad. The iPad dock keyboard will also work with the iPhone and iOS4.x so if you need a keyboard and don't want to deal with the Bluetooth than that is an option too, just a thought.
    As far as the Bluetooth keyboard goes it can only be paired with one device at a time.

  • I have purchased my first smart phone. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5.  I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over.   Any help would be appericated.

    I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
    As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
    Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck.

  • I can no longer see the gray "suggested text" boxes when I type an email or text message.  How do I restore this function?

    I upgraded my phone to the latest operating system a few days ago.  I really like the gray suggested text boxes that appeared when typing an email or text message.  That function has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    Make sure you have "Predictive" turned on (green) in Settings > general > Keyboards.
