Assigning Ring Tones for Callers / Groups

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.

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
here you have a link ...

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...
Tekguru
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,

Assigning ringtones to different callers and groups?

Hi all, does anyone know if it is possible to assign a different ringtone for different groups, like "VIP" or "family" is this possible, or is there a third party application that can do this?
Photo contact pro
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/
i was about to ask a similar question, however mine is that I would like to assign a different tone for some peoples SMS messages. I havent tried it yet but i dont think photo contact pro will do this ?? anyone know of another prog

Thats a feature I am also looking for - but no luck so far. All the different programs that I found can do is:
1. Change ringtone per person/group
2. Full Screen Picture ID of caller
But none allows me to change the SMS tone per person/group. I am going to write to the authors of PhotoContacts PRO if they will add this feature to their program.
i just had a google and it appears 'Ringo mobile' may do it. I'm going to try it now and i'll report back.

Cool! This sounds promising - let us know what you found out.
Couldn't wait - I gave it a try myself 8) So far it seems to work pretty well. At least I could test the ringtone part - all my friends are still sleeping so it'll be a while for my SMS Test :wink:
Nice thing is that I switched off the ringtone manager in Photocontacts PRO and Ringo takes that part now and Photocontacts shows the caller full screen picture. But I guess I will be getting rid of Photocontacts once Ringo performs solid and without problems, the tone is more important than a picture to me - or I need a lightweight fullscreen picture id program...
i gave it a shot too, i havent had a sms off anyone yet either but seemed to be able to set the tones per contact ok. My only worry is intergrating it with phonealarm, as that app takes over the tones too. I've set the default sms tone to 'system' in pA, hopefully that will let ringo take over.
So far I am really amazed by this Ringo Mobile. It works ( for ringtones ) like a charm. Hopefully my friends will be up soon so I can test out the SMS Part of it.
Now I really want to get rid of PhotoContacts PRO, since its such a memory monster - do you know of any other fullscreen picture ID caller software? AFAIR there is a freeware but I am not sure of its name
i just got my friend to text me and it works perfectly
Good news!
I got some mini-bad news though - there is a bug in Ringo - when a person calls you are not able to use the volume slider to turn of the ringtone. This bug is already reported in the yahoo group of ringo.
So hopefully this will be fixed soon since I don't want to hit the IGNORE button ( since the person calling then knows I ignored them ).
The official statement regarding this problem:
This is a side effect of Ringo Mobile volume being the system volume
not the ringer volume (although we respect the ringer volume at the
point of the notification). However we do intend to add this ringer
mute facility in a future release.

Just found out about another Ringtone/SMS Tone Tool - its really tiny and FREEWARE!
MortRING
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/wmpdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=66
Haven't tried it yet - but it does sound like it does the same thing as Ringo - but for free.
MortRing works great on my SPV M3000 Wish that I could hide the icon on the traybar though :roll:
I also hope that there will be support for sounds on SD-Card instead of on the device. That way I will be able to attach a SMS/ring tone to every contact and not just a few 8)

Unfortunately, MortRING has issues with WM 5.0. On most WM 5.0 devices (including my US T-Mobile MDA), it does not recognize the caller ID and reports all calls as "unknown caller". I spent about 3 weeks researching this, and Ringo is the best that I have found (best = works great, and not overly expensive).
agree with the previous post...when i upgraded my xda2 to wm2005 it had some issues with mortring (i used the .97 version). sometimes the caller id would malfunction...at times the phone would ring but there was no sound...doing a soft reset would solve the problem but eventually the bugs would come back.
now i'm using a mio a701 and still mortring has some issues....

Does B7610 have an info LED?

Hi!
Does Samsung B7610 have an info diode? On same photos it does seem so, but a review here in Czechia says there is no such info diode (for example to inform about unread messages).
Thanks
nope, neither does have the omnia 2

That a real let-down. So do you know if you had missed a call or a message had arrived? I mean when you leave a phone for a while and can't hear its ringing.
Actually this is among nuisance that keep me from buying this phone (no back button among others...)
many different applications exist to make sure you get informed of a missed call/sms/mail/phone. Take a look at PhoneAlarm for example (but free alternatives exist)

I'm really tempted to buy the phone... just not to make the same mistake as with HTC Kaiser again, uh.

sms / text tones for individual contacts

Hello all, this is my first post. I have an HTC HD2 and am looking for something that i can customize my text alerts with...so that each of my contacts has their own alert. I've been told Ringo does that...but i feel that i should'nt have to pay for something the phone should already do. So,any suggestions? Thank you...

I really hate to say this but it is gonna take a 3rd party app to do this. I used to use inboxtones but have not used it in a while.
I wish there was a free app also. I came from a G1 and had Ringo, which was free. I did break down and pay for Ringo for my HD2 and it works great. Good luck.
thanks for the help guys. i'll try and find inboxtones. is there a way to try ringo out before you buy? thanks
Another option is phonealarm. Pretty expensive though but can do much more, e.g. customized tones for sms/email per person/group, repeating alarms, profile w/ auto-switching, etc.

Where to get classy sms tones?

As you may already know, the tones that came with the HD2 are lame So for ring tone, I use one of my fav songs. But I have trouble picking a tone for sms. I've searched the forum but most of the links offer cheesy sms tones like "hey baby" or something. So, does anyone know where can i get some classy sms tones? Thanks.
Weeell...
My idea of classy might be quite different to yours but check the link in my sig.. you might find something there.......
You can pretty much set any sound you want as long as you can get a hold of it on your computer, just cut out the part you want, save it as a .wav file and throw it in your /windows directory...
Theres plenty of free .wav editing software on download.com or other such sites.......

I have just remastered all the Street Fighter II Turbo sounds for my HD2.
I have 'Hadouken!' for SMS, 'Shoryuken!' for e-mail and 'Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku!' for MMS, and I use this for a ring tone!
Loads of good free ringtones here:

Im sure if you ask nicely in the diamond forums somebody will be able to point you in the direction of the stock tones........
Or you can try these........ they're not the best but hey..............
http://audiko.net
Best ringtone site on the net bar none. There aren't many ringtones and message tones that haven't been uploaded by someone.
EDIT - make sure you change the search to audiko from the default Google search.

Here you go, I have remastered it for my phone so I have changed the volume level to suit my preference, if it's not quite right let me know and I'll redo it for you so it's a bit louder/quieter.
