Custom SMS alert Cracking?
 
Is there any solution to this issue. I notice when you preview the "song" theres no Cracking, but when set and one receives a message at the peaks the audio clips:(

I've notice this for a while and i even think i heard it mentioned before(im not sure) but im certain i've never read a solution.

if anyone knows of this problem or even a solution please feel free to share.

Edit: it happens to custom ringers too:(

my file types are MP3's

Sorry, I didn't understand your question fully. Are you saying that when you set a message tone or a ring tone, the song only plays for a certain amount of time before being clipped (ie it stops the song or just loops again from the beginning)?

i believe there was a thread about this before, but it dealt with ringtone more so than sms tones.

i think the consensus was that you should convert it to aac on your computer first. something wrong with the way the phone handles mp3s as tones.

could be way off though.

Can you upload the songs you are having trouble with if the above post doesn't work? Maybe the one with the most cracking (provided its not copyrighted or something), or even a youtube link :)

This is a reported bug, it's due to the fact that the ringtone you select gets converted into a mono wave file and that can cause cracking effect,

the file is too big.. but it happens with all custom alerts... when picking alert go to "MORE" and navigate to your MP3's and test you will only hear the cliping when u recive and actual sms(any alert)

Edit: right now im going to convert to acc i will post findings

ps: thanks all
