Hi
Wonder if anyone knows how to customise the xda to use different ringtones to different calls received?
Thanks
V
Only solution i know is the tool caller2picture....
With this software you can choose different ringtones and you can add a photo to display on incoming call.
Just try it. There is a free testversion...
Regards
Stefan
Thanks- got it at pocketgear.com
HI Stefan,
Thanks for reply. Just after I emailed you, I found a thread titled caller2picture further down on scrolling the same forum and found the software in pocketgear.com
Will try this out. Anyone with other softwares available besides this?
Cheers
V
You should take a look at http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl.
There you can download PhonExt.
It's small, but effective; and it's free!!!
MTUX
Hi Janevries,
Thanks a lot !!
Great application; in fact I found another one called MTUX RingtoneX (can be found easily in pocketgear.com ) which does almost the same as Phonext and is not free. The advantage of RingtoneX and Phonext is that both can assign a whole category of contacts to a special ringtone and this is something that Caller2picture cannot do. Hopefully the later versions of Phonext can allow one to assign photos to the contact as well.
Cheers

That would be da bomb!
I already love Phone Ext in its current form.
Great job!
Can't get the phonext to work in UK
HI folks,
Just after my last posting, I downloaded the phonext programme and tried to dial from it. Unfortunately, it kept assuming the +1 country code and I could not get the phonext program to dial a UK number. I also have Caller2picture in my XDA and wonder if this is the problem or is there something else I should do ?
Hope someone could help.
Thanks.

Phonext dial properly but can't assign ringtones
Hi folks,
Found the solution in the General section where there is a posting on Phonext- go to settings, connections, connections and dialling locations and change the country code to 44; somehow by default my country code was 1 and area code 425 !!! Don't know why before using phonext this hasn't affected my dialling but anyway with this change, phonext will dial properly. However, I still couldn't assign ringtone using categories or by the contact menu. Any ideas?
Cheers
Vic
Make sure you use PhonExt v1.2, we had a similar problem with v1.1
(PhonExt will definitely make it in a next version of the Special Edition ROM)
Version just downloaded
Hi
Thanks for reply. The version I used was just downloaded yesterday. Anyway, will try again to see if it works and will let you know.
Just one question though: how is it that previously when I was not using Phonext, the question of country code did not come in? ie all along I was just dialling ok with the country code set at 1 and area code set at 425 by default when I got the phone and honestly I did not know it was set at these values at all !!!
Cheers

Hey guys ...
anyone managed to get PhonExt working on WM20003? because when i installed everything went well till the time i assign a Ring Tone to a contact then nothing happenes the phone keep using the Standared Tone i assigned...
Am i missing anything here or its just not yet ready for Wm 2003???
Dear
I also have the same experience, but with a different software called pic2caller (or something similar). The program seems unable to recognize the contact destination and hence fails to assign any ring tone or picture. Anyone knows why? help us
Hi there,
I was looking around for an app to let you choose different ringtones for contacts on a priority basis.
I found something similar by v3patel, but it didn't allow me to prioritise, e.g. a 'personal' ringtone to take precedence over a 'business' ringrone when a contact is in both categories.
....so I made this app. I hope that it might be useful for others too, do as ever let me know of any bug reports or feature requests.
EDIT: If you were testing v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix!
Download Link Here - v0.2
This app requires the .net compact framework on your device. For WM6 this comes pre-installed in ROM, others need to download here
Carlos
=====
Instructions
============
1. Choose a category and a ringtone.
2. Click 'Add to list' to add it to the priority list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've chosen all your desired categories and ringtones.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to order your list into priority; categories at the top take precedence over categories below them.
5. Click 'Set Now' to make the changes.
Troubleshooting
===============
The app assumes that the ringtones are stored in \Windows\Rings. If this is NOT the case, go to the menu and choose 'Set Folder' to point it to a different location. This setting is currently NOT stored (sorry!) but will be in a future release if I get time!
Further help / support
======================
Please go to www.fatattitude.com/software or post in this thread
cool, will try
Good work....
Hey, great work and a good idea...
will try it also (it's too late to tell someone to call me )
Maybe it could be possible to listen to the ringtones before adding in a future release ? Just as input for you....
what does it mean "choice currently not stored" ? Will the changes be made to the categories, but when you restart your app, you can't see it anymore ? I think it is this way, but i'm not really sure....
Anyway, i like it !
Cheers, Peter

No, it just means that your preferences aren't stored, including where you tell the app to look for the ringtones. Your contacts will be set to the new ringtones you ask for and will stay this way, even after a reset.
nice work. will try today. thx

Sorry, I forget to mention that the app requires the .net compact framework 2.0 to be installed, perhaps this is giving you the error. Download link added to first post.

Hi, for anyone experiencing problems with ringtones not playing in v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix... ...first post updated!
Do please keep feedback & suggestions coming - nearly 200 downloads and no comments on the program!

wm6 should have 2.0 by default. at least on official rom. I believe the bape rom should also have it. Anyway, I will try 2.0 out tonite and report later.
has anyone tried this on a WM Treo?

No, please try it out and let us know if possible!
If you just want to test the app, you could always add a contact to a new category, for example, "Test". Then just run the app and assign all contacts in category "Test" to a ringtone. If the contact you changed is successfully updated then the program works for you! If not, no harm done.
Do let us know if you have success.

It is perhaps to do with the recorded version number of your ROM and the settings for my CAB file.
Can you post the exact error message that you are receiving, along with when you are receiving it? Then I can try and help you.

It didn't work on my Prophet running WM6.
The program itself works, and assigns the correct ringtone to each category, but when a person calls, the default ringtone that is set in sounds & notification is played instead of the category ringtone assigned.
In each contact's information, the correct ringtone for that category is assigned. But it doesn't play that tone when that person calls.
When I open someone's contact detail and tap the ringtone, the left softkey changes to "play". When I tap that, there's no sound.
However, if I assign that same ringtone manually in the contact details, it plays when I tap "Play"
Hope you understand what I mean...

Thank you - if only all bug reports were that detailed!
Can you confirm that you're running v0.2 of the program? There was a bug in v0.1 that caused this behaviour. (see first post for download link)
C
Hi carlosp,
Yes, v0.2 works perfectly. Thanx for this app! It really saves us the chore of having to assign a ringtone for each contact individually.
Now, I'm trying to decide if I still need innesoft address book...

No problem - let me know if you have any bug reports or more feature requests. I was thinking perhaps add an 'Any Category' option in the drop down, so that it's possible to unassign ringtones from all contacts in order to clear everything off and start again.
Hi,
something strange happened: I flashed my prophet to Prophet Touch VII ROM (I was on v6 before), and the Tone Manager didn't work.
Ran the program as usual, but after that I got the same problem as described in my post above. The ringtones are assigned to each contact but doesn't play during the incoming call. Exactly the same prob as in v01.
Strange....??? it was working before on my previous ROM....
A request: the folder is not saved but always reverts back to \windows\rings at each opening of the program. I have mine in the SD card... can you make the prog save the SET FOLDER?
Thanx...
EDIT: I re-downloaded the program from your website and re-installed it, and it works! Very strange, maybe the file in my PC got corrupted or something...

I've tried V3Patels VipPimRingTone, and I get somewhat similar error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

i think this is like RINGO but ringo is better coz u can classify also which sms tone u like for individual or group.
Today I tried to suggest some new functionalities like SMS or other notification ring tone management to the great TNT WM6.1 cookers and someone said these are junks and should not be add to the great OS, if you want it then DIY (do it yourself).
I want to mention these functionalities are not junk because every simple phone OS has it. If it is junk why everybody searches the way to handle it ?
Why Windows Mobile can not handle such simple tasks ?
Anyway, I developed one and uploaded it for you in a simple executable file under .net compact framework v2.
This application supports MP3, Wave, AAC and WMA formats with no need to be copied to Windows or any other directory.
If there was something wrong, please let me know .
Hope you enjoy it.
Edit : A new feature added, Reminder Alarm. Consider assigning a new Task and set a reminder time and date for it. In this release you can set a new sound for it.
It says I need a newer version of the .NET framework
where do i get that?
my framework version is 2.0.7045.0
I have it installed on my device via TNT WM6.0.
You can download it from microsoft web site, from the following link I think :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6B-356B-4A2C-857C-E62F50AE9A55&displaylang=en
it works!
but only the incoming tone works. i tried to work the text tone
but when i do receive the text, no sound comes out
and i tried a soft reset
What format did you set for your SMS tone ? was it MP3, Wave or AAC ?
What OS version are you using ? And what's your device ?
I've tested it on Wizard (I-mate K-Jam) and TNT WM6.0 so many times and it worked.
i tried both WAV and MP3
I can not figure out your OS correctly.
What does the application show in the Messaging : New Text Message part, when you open the application ?
I ask others, please let me know the results.
Thanks so much.
it works. i uploaded the slim WM6.1 last night but is it normal for it to be so short?

You mean your SMS tone worked too ??
I did not understand what do you mean about it to be so short.
Happy that worked.
Do you have any new idea to be added or any problem in the application ??
Does anyone know how to change the alarm clock sound to any other sound file ?? any tweak ??
no. but that is what i wanted to ask from you
if you can make your program do alarm clock sounds too
I'm hardly searching for it, have not found the solution but if I found it, I will add it for sure.
Thanks you so much for your patience.
At last found the solution by testing on my own device
The application will be ready soon.
Provided the new application with following functions :
1- Changing Incoming Call Ringtone
2- Changing New Text Message (SMS) Ringtone.
3- Changing Alarm Clock Ringtone (new).
Uploaded the file here in this post and also updated the first uploaded file too.
So, please download the latest file to have all the functionalities. (Both of them are the same)
I will be really happy to hear from you and having your ideas about it.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it.
you are one amazing man! thanks
much appreciated
Thanks dear sungersoo for your support and help.
Any new idea and comment is welcomed.
Hope all of you to be happy.
can you tweak it so, when a sms does come in... you can touch the screen or hit the side button for the music to stop?
or the menu>dismiss when the notification pops up
I searched a lot, but I have not found anything.
I'm thinking about handling on screen key events, so when I done it, I will let you know.
Anyone who downloads the application, please let me know the results.
Thank you.
Hello,
is there a way (software or setting) to configure my Wallaby (with PPC2002 or WM2003) that any incoming sms is forwarded to a defined number?
Thanks for any answer
Best regards
nobody an idea how to do that?
wallaby is the first htc phone out and a pretty dead device
I would
1 use search and look in the forum search for any info about forward calls
2 ask in another forum as forwarding of sms's would likely be a general wm thing rather then a spec wallaby thing
Hello Rudegar,
thanks for your answer.
The forwarding of calls is not really a problem.
But the forwarding of sms is one!
I have found some programs that can do automatic sms forwarding, but the problem is that they don't work with WM2003 or PPC2002 (the two OS for Wallaby).
Now i'm searching for a program that works on WM2003 or PPC2002!
I know that this device is very old, but i only want that this device forwards my calls and sms! So this device would be the whole time in the cradle. And i would use another device "Samsung Omnia" for working with it. So i think it would be a little bit to expensive to buy a new device only for being in the cradle and forwarding sms and calls!
I hope you know what i mean!
Best regards
Andy
i've not seen any .net sdk code that can handle sms for wm02/3, just the pocketoutlook for wm5/6.
i could be missing it, but goodchance you're going to be out of luck.

I'm off topic - or device - here, I use HTC touch Pro and Treo Pro, so i would appreciate if you know anything that runs on WM6, 6.1 or 6.5 that does this well. I DLed a trial of txtForward, it doesnt seem to work.
ANY suggestion/solution used with any success would be appreciated.

I bought txtForward. It forwards incoming text messages (with an option for outgoing as well) to an email address. So, since all my "phones" have at least exchange/active sync support, i get my text messages delivered to my email that i am always connected to. Good enough.
