Set ring tone [PhonExt on 4.00 ROMs]

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
Vic

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
Vic

PhoneExt
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?

photo contacts and ringtone problems

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 had this problem too...even if I have put the ringtones in Storage folder... I have solved the problem with downgrading the ROM from 1.06 to 1.03...but left the radio stack 1.05...now it works fine...the caller ID, but have some issues with answering the phone...

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?
I had that problem with PocketMusic , when i've uninstalled it i solved.

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.

Phone app notification (payg credit amount)

Every time i send a text message i get a bell and a box come up telling me my remaining credit. This is all very well but i cannot silence this bell. Even if i turn all the volume sliders onto silent and uncheck the play sounds boxes in the sounds settings.
anyone help me get rid of this ?
thanks.
malty
proud new owner of o2 xda mini s

anyone help with this ? i thought i must be able to just delete the wav it uses (notify.wav) but its in the rom and doesnt go.
It's really annoying that even with the vol sliders all the way down and the sound unchecked this sound STILL plays
anyone help ? please !!

I had the same problem with the message sent sound, it really got on my nerves! Just create a silent wav sound in Nero wave editor or a similar application and then transfer it to your wizard's windows directory to overwrite the existing one. sorted!

tried that, i created another notify.wav but cos the original is in rom it wont let me overwrite

ok following a recommendation to use total commander to do the copying, i did, and it worked.
Not sure how, as the original file is a read only file in ROM but nevertheless it worked. Windows explorer using the pc to browse/copy whilst synced wouldnt do it.
Cheers,
malty

Network mesaage sound in new Qtek 9000 rom

Hi,
Recently Dangaard, the official Qtek distributor herein Italy, released a new rom: 1.30.89 ITA.
There is a problem.
My operator use to send many network messages (i.e. when i close a connection it says "data connection stopped").
Well: with this new rom when i receive this messages.. I can hear the NOTIFY sound.. EVEN IF I MUTE the system sound!
It don't cares about the system volume.
So i tryed to deactivate this notification.. But i don't know what to deactivate!
I tryed to deactivate "New message" "New sms".. NOTHING.
Maybe i have to look in the registry?
And where??
I wonder if the problem it's caused by the beta of Agile messager..
Please help me!

I tryed to Hard Reset.. But the probleme is still here! Should i re-flash the rom? Or is it useless? What could be the problem? A corrupted rom file?
Please help me!

1. Try muting both the phone and multimedia sound.
2. Post the extended ROM. I'll try to figure out the cab which has that sound and you can simply skip installing it.

Well even if i mute phone and multimedia.. The problem is still here!
In the registry i found a solution.. but i understand that there is another problem: i can't set the volume of the ringtone by the multimedia volume. The volume of ringtone is always the same! I can only mute it deactivating sound or setting the vibracall!
My extrom is 1.30.177 ita.
I don't know what there is in the extrom!
Do you think i have to reflash? Is it useless?

I re-flahed the new rom and i soft resetted before it begins to install extrom cabs.. Well.. Always the same problem: the ringtone is not setted by the multimedia volume and the network message is notified even if i mute all the sounds!
Is it an hardware problem.. OR IS IT A NORMAL BEHAVIOR?
For the Network Notify i have to delete only a string in the registry.. But i don't know what to do for the ringtone volume value!

I have imate JAMin and the same operator Wind Italia, and the same problem of network notification :-(!!

I have teh same problem too, anyone know a way of turning teh dammned thing off?

Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\InCallBuzz and delete "Sound" (value and string). You should read as value "Notify.wav". Don't delete "(Default)", "Category" and "Scri.pt".
Works for me.
Can you say me if there is the same problem in new aku 3.2?

Using AKU 3.2 that works perfectly !!

Thank's

Thanks - it works

Low sound level
When I installed the sound level was much lower. Is there a fix ??

I really love this tone as it's so loud. Most importantly, people close to your phone will remind you again that you have a message, whether you are next to your phone or not!

Your iPhone tingtones are set either in the settings tab or via theme manager.
In order for you to use your own ringtones, you have to download&install an iPhone theme/ringtone application into the iPhone and than you the option given byt the application.
