On PPC2003 4.00.10 I have set a ring tone for a contact. However when the person rings I hear the default ring instead of the specific ring tone. With version 4.00.05 this option worked well.
Does anyone have the same problem and have perhaps a solution?
Did you do this using PhonExt, or how?
PhonExt, at least to my knowledge, only worked on 3.17.03, and not on 4.00.05.
To my knowledge I did not use phonext (ring tone to a group) for this. In the contacts app I choose for the option "set ring tone" so I can set a ring tone on an individual person.

That is a PhonExt feature. But PhonExt ringtones already didn't work in 4.00.05, so you must have had it work in 3.17.03 or some other 3.x ROM, right?
Oeps I thouth it was a PPC2003 feature. Í am sure btw that is worked in 3.17.03 and 4.00.05 (cooked by Jeff). It's odd, but I noticed more bugs in PPC2003. I.e. in the today's screen not my all day events are displayed.
But overall I am happy with PPC2003. Hope that we have a Developers version (like v 1.2 SE) soon.
Strange it is working for me very well, I am using Qtek with 4.00.05 from Jeff's Kitchen.
PhonExt does work with 4.00.05
Just confirmed that PhonExt's distinctive ring feature does indeed work on 4.00.05. So there must have been something else wrong when I tested before.
Could someone confirm whether or not it's working on 4.00.10 ?
Amazing. Verified here as well. If you recall we discussed this a month or so ago and it was not working. My .05 ROM does not have it installed so I installed it in RAM and it works! If we can only figure out how to get the "G" notification active in .10 we'd be set. I checked most of the registry without luck.
Hey guys,
I must be shouting my face blue now. I couldn't get the darn ringtone to work in 3.17 rom cooked from Jeff's kitchen and it seemed that there are a couple of guys out there who bothered to respond in my other threads also having the same problem. Somehow it is not working at all -- can anyone reading this post who find that phonext 1.2 doesn't work at all even with 3.17 rom please confirm by tying a simple reply in this forum as well? Thanks.
Cheers

Try installing it to RAM, not ROM and let us know.
phone ext wont work
ive installed it to both ram and rom...used ser 1.2...now using one off jeffs excellent recipes.....3.17.3......phoneext ringtones wont work!..i did notice a misspelt setting in the registry.....command is spelt commnad[search for phonext]...but that didnt sort it out!...any ideas?
Strange. It did not work for me before either and upon seeing it working in this forum I tried it again and it worked. I know that MUTX RingeToneX works with ppc2002 and it only runs $6.
MUTX RingeToneX works with PPC2003
I just tried MUTX RingeToneX and it works wel with PPC2003 4.00.10
Hi guys,
Just an update- already re downloaded the latest 1.2 phonext and reinstalled it via Active Sync (presumbably means into ram) and still no sign of the darned ringtone working normally. I could dial OK but could not assign any ringtone at all. I also noticed that in the registry Ringtone0, the SavedSound entry doesn't change at all and is fixed at OldPhone which I used as my default previously. I have since changed the default and it still remained the same. The Sound entry is the one which changes whenever one switches the default ringtone. Can anyone throw any light on how to use the software?
Cheers

I've not had any luck getting it to work either on my XDA with any version 4 of the rom. I can get it to assign the tones but it just doesn't play them when the person calls.
I think it is the luck of the draw for I tried it with many many reinstallations of all of the 4x roms and NADA. I gave up and then two days ago I saw here that is was working so I downloaded it again, installed it and VOILA! Weird but it works perfectly. It didn't even work on my old ppc2002 install.
Using the 4.00.11 Cooked ROM - Phone Ext does not work for me either despite an exhaustive pount around registry settings - Contacted the Developer - He is looking into it - Will advise when I have news
Hi,
It didn't work for me also with version 3.17 and 4.00.11.
But I'd like to ask you an off-topic question. I see that plenty of you maintain PPC 2003 on your XDA. Doesn't it erase your SD? Because that's the reason I downgraded from PPC2003 to PPC2002 again. :?
I didn't want to say this for fear of jinxing myself but .11 has not erased my sd card once! Knock on wood 3 times! However, I will say I believe the erasures are due to:
-using explorer or other program that accesses files or resides on the sd card and not CLOSING the program when not using it and make sure it is pointing to RAM when closed.
So, try our 2003 and make sure when you use a program that accesses your sd card, close it when done and make sure the program in question is pointing to RAM when you close it. Just my .02.
im having the same preoblems as well guys, have installed phonext on all roms and rams ive had and i can set ring tones, but it will only play the default when someone rings. any one shed some light yet?

I can see an RTFM coming but but does anyone know whether you can assign different ring tones for contacts and / or groups in your contacts list? eg. if work is calling tune to muppet's show rings and if the significant other is calling a different tone.
Oh btw this is for XDA II
Have a happy new year.
[edited typos]
Sadly no you can't. You can only assign different photos for different callers.
There is an app called Caller2Picture that can do photos and ringtones, but I can't remember if it likes WM03. Can't remember where you can get the app either. Probably www.handango.com
its in hacking it or something the link and the poster said it didnt like WM2003 im about to try it on my XDA

You can try V2R Call2Picture, new versiom 2.5 works for XDA/MDA II, you may get it at http://www.v2r.ag/. Another option would be Pic&Ring 1.49, get it at http://www.xda.com.cn/E/index.htm.
I will add another one here. To summarize:
1. Caller2Picture (http://www.v2r.ag)
2. Phonext (http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl)
3. MTUX RingToneX 1.31 (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=8675)
4. Pic and ring (http://www.xda.com.cn)
5. Phone Plus 0.99 (http://www.mesoftware.co.nr) - Free but current version does not work with XDAII
And I for one have not manged to get any of these working on my Xda II, they all seem to change the default ring settings but that is about it.
Weird. Then again none of them play any sound when I as then to play a sample I wish to test - very strange my Xda...

Nothing wrong with your XDA II. I have tried only 1, 2 and 5 on the XDA II and have had similar experiences. They did work OK on the XDA.
Glad it's not just me, oh well someone somewhere is bound to write an application which works.
The app that works
I tested the following application for the ringtones and it works
(Mtux RingtoneX)
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=8675
Tried it, no go for me I'm afraid.
hey,
did you download the latest version for mtux already? i previously had the same problem where the assigned ringtones wouldn't come out. whenever someone would call my generic ringtone would sound. apparently the author of the software said that there are bugs; and thus recommended that you download the latest version. once installed it has a musical note icon on the lower task bar (right beside the bluetooth icon for xda2); it's the shortcut to go to the ringtonex program. after installing the latest version; it works great.
cheers mate

Hi,
Do you know if Mtux RingtoneX is compatible with MY|PHONE PROFILES?
Could we use both programs without any interference?
Thanks,
I have just upgraded my XDA II to
Rom: 1.60.00WWE
Radio: 1.06.01
Ext Rom: 1.60.21
Since this update all my custome ringtones (.mid) ring at full volume when a call comes in or when i playback from the menu to select a ringtone. However the default ringtones play at the volume level set in ring volume properties.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue for me please...? :?
dunno the answer mate but....
why choose midi tones over wav or wma tones?
its like choosing old beep beep tones over polyphonics lol.
get some propper tones instead of polys lol
thanx for replying...
the midi tune i have very good and i do really want to keep it.
when i didnt get any other posts re my problem i continued to investigate. i have discovered that the problem is somewhere in the dangaard extended_rom. if i use the o2 extended_rom i dont have this problem.
the thing is i dont really want to use the o2 rom and would like to keep my xda as generic as possible, as i am not with o2.
do you know what part of the extended_rom contains the comonents for the ringer? i though it may have been the midi.sa.cab but sadly not. i dont really want to have to go through each one and doing a hard reset each time i want to try the next.
any thoughts?
try installing the o2 rom again and go into the file explorer on activesync and copy everything off the device into a folder on your pc...
install the other rom and then try each one ect... that way you wont have to keep going back and forth through the roms
sorry mate i dont ahve a clue
gaz
this is what i am doing at the moment. i want to keep as much of the qtek rom as possible and only use the o2 rom for the part that it causing for the ring tone to be stuck at max volume.
any guesses which .cab mad have the sound file? i will just try them one at a time. i will post my results for any future user with the same problem.
I'm Curious also....
Let us know what your findings are :roll:
Well i have solved the problem. the problem was the camerarc131_WWE_1.5.sa.CAB
i used the o2 camera_WWE.sa.CAB instead and the problem didnt reoccur.
i hope thats the last time i have to hard reset my unit...
I am experiencing problems with my Mp3 ringtones which have been assigned through photocontacts and are kept on my storage card.
For some reason it keeps defaulting back to the awful default ringtone, it cant be the size of the file because I have cut them down in size.
The thing is if I change it back and test it with a friend ringing me immediately then it works but if you leave it for a while the next time they ring it has defaulted back.
I keeping changing it back and it works for 10 minutes or so then defaults back to the original.
This is really annoying, has anyone else experienced these problems and been able to fix it?
thanks in advance.
i have this problem too.
Xda II Mini.. :?
Put your ringtones in \Storage instead of the card. The SD is too slow to start when the Magician is sleeping and the system can't find your ringtones.
Used to have this problem also. After keeping my tones in \Storage I've never had this problem again. I use WMA tones Stereo encoded at 96kbps.

I have the exact same problem with mynew XDA IIi, although it has a standard ringtone assigning feature. None of the solutions seems to work. Any help, I'm really getting very frustrated with this problem!!!!
I have the same problem but with regards to the photo in the caller ID. I resolved this problem by usiung the old version of the Photo Contact Application.

Could you please be more specific wrt: "the Photo Contact Application". Where do I get it from, and how to install it on my XDA IIi?
I too have problem - for some reason the Caller ID app will not function at incoming call after a while. i've tried to determine if there is a specific app I'm using that is conflicting, but so far the results are inconclusive.
What also sucks about Photo Contacts is that there is no way to backup and restore your photo/ringtone assignments - this kind of software limitation is just not allowed in this century!

Hi mates, after doing the BigStorage thingie to my mini, and flashing it to 1.11.00 WWE, I have caller ID issues too!!
sometimes i get my predefined photos, and sometimes i don't!! i even set a default for all incoming calls, and sometimes it doesnt show too..
Then, i found 1.12 Caller ID CAB and installed it. System complained that some files exists and cannot be over-written. I note down the names, delete the existing files manually, and then redo the CAB install, and it doesnt complain. but i still have issues with photos that sometimes doesnt appear.
So, in this case, which version of CallerId should i downgrade to??
does my above method to install 1.12's Caller ID applies when i downgrade the caller-id??
thnx!!
Have u got PocketMusic installed?

no pocket music. what i have for Today plugin is:
1) D25
2) TodayPlus
3) PhoneAlarm
my primary suspect is the BigStorage hack.. and the "new" 1.11.00 WWE ROM.
i need to know which old version of CallerID are you guys talking abt, so i can try and download it and test..
Ringtones
I also have the same problem. Unfortunately, i cannot link it to anything in particular as I have been tweaking mine since 2003SE was made available. I installed originally Sin's Rom and all worked fine, then I found out that the JoJo/Tonenailed release made a comparison between the two and found that they had a newer Caller ID.cab file and installed it.
Dunno if that is the cause, but I need to know what files need to be "renamed"/deleted in order to install back to the original cab file that was provided in Sins version, then I can tell if that is the cause.
Ring tones are also a problem, which I believe is related. However, I cannot change any ring tone at all, they all default to some dodgy one. Even if place .mid files into the ringtones directory, they dont get "recognised". I even open them manually, and say "set as ringtone" (which I think only copies to the existing ringtones directory), however this didnt work either.
So, in summary, if somebody can tell me the files to rename to install Sins caller id.cab file, I will find out if this is the cause or not.
My caller ID version (photo contacts) version is 1.20 (Build 18567)
Do you guys have a method to restore your ringtone/photo assignments after a hard reset or a ROM upgrade?
to swedbass
Yes! Just use photo contacts pro. Simply the best!
I have been using BigStorage hack on my 1.11 ROM and I can confirm that it has nothing to do with this hacked ROM. I experienced this problem previously when I had PocketMusic installed on my Mini. What I did to solve this problem was I unassociated all media files from my PocketMusic and use Resco File Explorer to associate those media files back to Media Player.
I also did a registry hack to point the ring tone folder to my Storage instead of the default Windows/Rings folder.
For your information, I am using Photo Contacts Pro as well.
Based on experience here is what I can contribute:
1) Place the ringtones in a local memory storage, maybe the Storage ROM or in Windows\Rings, avoid the avoid the SD card, it takes up time to initialize.
2) Use the old version of Photo Contacts, I was refered to use 1.20 as it had less issues with GPRS problems as well.
3) If you have third party applications playing MP3s, make sure it is registered. If you are using Pocket Music and you are still trying to use the Bundle which is not registered, the ringtones will stop or not work because the player is not initializing becasue it requires a serial or something.
4) Try to get the file association to WMP to play .wma files.
Hope this helps.
Hopefully someone can help me please. When I receive a phonecall, the phone no longer rings. If I put it to vibrate, that works OK. I have gone into the phone settings and played the ringtone so that's OK and the MP3 player functionallity is also working OK. When on a call everything is perfect. Even if I have the earpiece in, it still won't ring but again the earpiece is perfect while on a call. It would appear that something software wise has become screwed but I don't want to have to do a Hard Reset
I also use my PDA for Destinator v6 for GPS and mapping. It happily gives me my vocal directions.
I should also say that this has only just started happening in the last week or two. I did have to re-install my Destinator because it lost it's voice.
Can anyone help - PLEASE

Did you install a new rom? Hapened yesterday to me when I installed T-Mobile rom on my SPV M500
No. I running the same one for the past 6 months. Anyone else got any idea please/

Hey Raven2000
Have you fixed the problem yet?
Cormac
I had a similar problem yesterday as well. I couldn't play any of my ringtones other than the windows default. (Try to see if the windows default ringtone works). My problem as far as I was concerned started after I installed xPad 2.1. Even after I deleted the program it would not work. I finally resorted to restoring from a backup which sorted it out. (I must start to schedule using xbackup on a weekly basis) Hope this helps.
I've had this exact same problem with my Magician - I bought mine as a T-Mobile MDA Compact, and am now running the BigStorage ROM. I have tested this in the past - running it as a "clean" system (no other apps at all installed, factory-shipped ROM) and it seems to work fine - but when you start installing software, the ringing function on the phone seems to stop working - and the only ringtone that still works is the annoyingly crappy "Windows Default" piano-tune ringtone. If anyone manages to work out why this is happening and a way to fix it, I would be most grateful! I am still working on a solution myself.
I'm now running ver 1.12 from iMate's website and have the ringing back again. I am tentitive about loading up too many programs so keeping it to a minimum for the moment.
As a matter of interest, did you ever load up an alarm clock program? I have re-installed most of what I had previously so I am wondering about this since it would be one of the only ones which would mess with the sound
C
Correction to my previous post. After installing one program at a time, I found it wasn't xPad but another program called iMusic.
Have You installed a media player?
this happened once to me when installed a media player that got associated with the WAV and MP3 extensions so the default internal player stopped working.
Hope this helps.
As soon as I removed file association for the new program my JAM started ringing again!
So did you have to edit the registry or was there some other way to remove the erronious association ?
Cormac
MP3 File Association
That happened to me too. Are you using MP3 patch so you can use MP3 as a ringtone? If so when you install a program that deals with MP3 it might change MP3 association to that program. Try re-setting MP3 association to File Manager and problem is solved.
Hi All,
First question from me. I have just moved to the TD2 from nokia n95. On the N95 you could set it so that is would say the callers id when they rang. So, I had a short ring tone that would play, then it would say the name and cycle.
Does any body know if it is possible (or how to do it) on the TD2.
thanks for your help and ideas.
cheers
Use Voice Command...START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL-VOICE COMMAND
if it is installed on your device.
thanks jdwilson,
it is not installed on my device - do you know how I would get it?
Search on this forum or Google.
Well, I have got it installed and working for everything but the caller id (despite all the things ticked and setting the bits from other threads). If anybody has any great ideas they will be welcomed, but I will play.
It certainly allows a gap in the tone, but the phone is silent, then the tone starts up again, so I think it is trying to do it.
Use this:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=673
But can it be used on other ROM versions?
I was never clear what, exactly, this update did - and since HTC said it could only be applied to a ROM version that pre-dated mine (and 6.5) I never found out!
If this 'fixes' any issue for Caller ID is it applicable to WM6.5???
thank fighter for the suggestion, but my rom version is not suitable
Read this:

thanks again fighter, my caller id displays fine it is just not annouced.
When you open Voice Command, and select the phone option, on the right side of the screen, is a notification button, select that, then you will have 3 options for the announcement, make sure you select the one you want.
Yes, I have tried all of the options in notification, thanks. I will keep digging.
