    Hey all, I have question that I can't seem to find the answer for. I tried going though all the settings but no luck.

    Is there any way to tweak the notifications to allow for ringtones/audio notifications to last more than a couple seconds? I currently have an Mp3 as my text message notification in one of my profiles, however whenever a text does come in it only plays a few seconds and then stops.

    My main use for this feature is the fact that at times I can't hear a notification that beeps, however I'm sure to hear my phone if it's a song playing nonstop until there's some sort of interaction with it. Eg. When I'm in the basement but the phone is in the kitchen

    Thanks in advance

    Possible, it is...

    Select longer song, you must. Notification Settings, you must adjust:

    (sorry, I was channelling Joda, if you know must :-)

    Technically, any sound / song can be selected as notification sound. As per picture above, select what notification you want to adjust, drop down select, Browse Music or whatnot, and select appropriate sound / song.

    If you need any additional help, please shout

    OK so I guess for text notifications it's not possible

    I imagine not. Even the tones don't repeat and are very short in length.

    It is indeed possible to get longer times for your phone call rings using Verizon and version 2 on your Z30. I am using an audio clip from Forbidden Planet using Applian Software on my W7 PC. I call my clip "The Attack of the ID Monster on the Krell Steel Door". My ring will last 17 seconds. Mostly the duration is controlled by your provider - in my case Verizon. You may need to call them and be nice. (Keep in mind that you are using their resources too.) Doc Neutron

    I do apologise, you are right... even the long song plays for few seconds (3-4) only. Sorry I have no further 'wisdom' to share. It looks like it is 'limitation' of the OS. In some other os', repeating the alert signal was an option...not on BBOS10.

    Well... not giving up that easily! After little research, you MIGHT be able to solve this problem, you search BlackBerry World for ' notifications ' , you might find few addons that might just suit you and resolve long sounding notification problem. It might cost you a buck or so, but it include with disco lights!

    I think it's a bug in some of the 10.3.1 builds.
