Message Alert Poor

Gah, this bugs the crap out of me, like i cant even hear my phone when a text goes off. it blows! they need to fix this or something! i mean we can barely hear the tone, and when we sample it, its loud as hell, but when we set it and we recieve a text, its ultimatly too low, and im a pretty big texter, sigh =\

I am gonna call them~ That's the same number to Samsung that one of the TMobile reps had given me some days ago but I hadnt called them yet. I just traded mine in for another one this morning and now I dont think my email messages are doing right. I dont think Im getting any email alerts anymore. The GPS on this new phone STILL doesnt work. I've tried it on the other one I had about 15 times. It goes all the way to about 96% and then says "GPS signal weak. Find better sky view". I was at least  wanting to try it out during the 2 week trial period to see if I'd like it but I'm not paying to get that service if tis' never going to work. Blah-

Every ringer or tone on the t919 Behold is an increasing tone. That's the problem. Meaning that the default installed tones are to short to really hear them. When you are in here

 "Menu -> Settings -> Sound Profiles -> Normal (or which ever profile you want to customize) -> Press the Down arrow on the top right corner for "Message" -> And Customize your Text Message Notification "

you need to go into "Sounds" in the lower right hand corner and use a ringtone sound from the default library or one that you downloaded for free at http://www.zedge.net/ringtones/

I am using the THX Dolby Surround Sound as my text alert.

My THX tone is 14 seconds long. How long is your tone?

Prec, Dan is right. I saw his post on the main page and he explained the longer ringtone getting a very niiiice volume when its longer thanks to the phone being locked into INCREASING RINGTONE by default.

I used the strange HIGHWAY (pre-installed in headset already) which is about an hour long (kidding) and it works great and gets VERY loud!

Sammy Sung...no more default locks please! Open this baby up and let us do the walking.

Thanks Dan.

Ps; the browser and non-threaded is still crappy so keep on complaining.
lol.

I really do hate that the text messages arent threaded (unlike with the Palm Centro and Treo right??)
But okay- so I have to find an alert that's long enough but that still doesnt make me feel better. Here's why: It's supposed to be an "alert" (short) not a detailed, drawn out notification or shall I say, "ringtone".
On the other hand, this will have to do (for now) as a work around... 

It is a bug, someone posted something before, can't remember who, that it's supposed to play out the speaker, but it's playing out the ear piece instead so we can't hear it.  samsung hasn't done anything about it.
