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

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?
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
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,
Hi,
I was wondering why the sms were sent twice when switching off my mdac 2 before the message comes that it was sent ?! The Message comes after switching it on again but with sending the message again.
And which rom is the best for the MDAc 2 ? Currently is installed:
ROM-Version: 1.12.2.21 GER
ROM-Date: 11/14/05
I've searched a lot but now I am more confused as before.
SMS issue was discussed already, please use search..
SMS application, tmail.exe should not be closed and minimized instead if you use any task management application lik spb poket+ or wisbar..
ROM, current rom of yrs is goin without any issues and the latest 1.13 may be nice but wont show up much difference.Its up to u to choose.
Regards
Carty..
Oh, thanks...
Tryed searching the forums but couldnt find anything...
I did a search for the term "sms sent twice" and within 2 seconds, I had 5 threads with the exact same content as this one. So I guess the search function works ok after all...
after extensive wiki reading (no lies ive been here long enough to know read the wiki before you even get the device)
and searching this forum
ive found no references to an odd keyboard glitch while in sms
when the white box at bottonm of screen is pressed the keyboard should pp up for editing. my devices keyboard will pop up then minimise itself again. the only way to get to type is to tap the sip icon bottom centre any ideas
devinfo
operator verion 34.119.1.611
ROM 1.19.61.1
Radio 1.09.25.14
protocol version
There's a couple of threads about this issue and I don't think there is a solution currently that applies to stock ROMS. However, I know that duttys 1.8 and up roms don't have this issue (using the new TF3D)
oh well
ill keep an eye out for 1.20.xx.x

Now, theres a lot of jargon i dont yet understand so if someone could tell me what the following mean?
Manila
ROM
Radio
Cooked
Bricked
Flash
SSPL
HSPL
NBH
SPL
RRU
(I think thats all the terminology i dont understand ATM)
I have seen new versions of Manila and Sense posted on here, can anyone tell me the Pro's/Con's to installing these before i go ahead? Like what are they updating/fixing, and is it worth it? I want my phone to be its best.
Right, there the complicated questions (for me) but as i work odd shifts it will be easier for me to ask other advice in this thread aswel.
Is there any way to disable the hard "end call" key when in call as when I'm using my BT headset i hang up on people in my pocket. (I do have a CAB installed that disables it whilst ringing so i dont hang up getting it out of my pocket but it releases the key again as soon as its been answered)
Is there a way to stop WIFI disconnecting when the phone is in standby (I have the BsB Tweaks but the option doesnt seem to stay on)
Is there a way of setting the Mobile Web connection to automatically turn off when its not in use and back on again when needed (I.E if I'm browsing and minimize the app to put the phone in my pocket)
I see people favor the Igo8 and TomTom 7 (i think) Satnav apps but cant seem to find where to get either from, and help?
I can update my Facebook status at the bottom of my contact card in "all people" but it seems a bit of a silly place to put the feature, is there any way of making it a bit quicker to access? (I like the way it says "from my HTC" on the updated) or does anyone know of a decent facebook app? The best iv found so far is FIM but it crashes every time i update my status. Id like to be able to chat and Tag people in photo's (and tag in status' if at all possible)
Sorry for the lengthy questions and any help is GREATLY appreciated and if i think of anything else i need to know ill ask it in this thread.
Keep up the hard work guys and i hope to be as knowledgeable as you in a few months

Well for a new user, you certainly seem to have got your head around some of the modifications possible!
Terminology:
Manila: The HTC interface with the big digital clock and tabs. The HD2 comes with Manila 2.5 (= HTC Sense)
ROM: Read Only Memory, but for our purposes usually means the operating system itself, which can be written to the ROM of the device. There are standard ROMs like the HTC 1.48 update and cooked ROMs like those you see in the forums.
Radio: Usually refers to the part of the OS controlling radio functions, which are the phone signal receiver, Bluetooth and WiFi. This also contains the GPS drivers.
Cooked: A ROM that has been modified by a ROM 'chef' to make it either more up to date, more functional, or to give more available memory. Some better than others, and all technically void your warranty.
Bricked: A 'cooked' ROM needs to have the boot sectors of the device modified to allow the ROM to be installed. If this hasn't been done, the the device can get stuck in the middle of the update, hence the term 'bricked': it becomes basically an unusable brick. There can be ways out of it, but sometimes it's terminal.
Flash: The process of updating the physical ROM with a new ROM OS image
SSPL/HSPL/SPL: The SPL is like the BIOS of a PC. Stock SPLs don't allow updates other than from the manufacturer or the phone operator. SSPL (SoftSPL) is a temporary software fix that allows the ROM to be updated and HSPL (HardSPL) is a permanent fix that protects from bad ROM flashes.
RRU/NBH: RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and it is the PC executed process to update a ROM. It has a few steps such as checking versions, battery status then putting the device into a mode to allow the ROM update (Bootloader mode) then doing the actual update. The NBH file is the actual ROM file itself that overwrites the ROM. It is possible to copy the NBH file to a storage card and rename it, then do the update without connecting to a PC.

Hard end call button: I don't know, but I suspect not!
WiFi always on: There is a file or registry modification to do this, but why would you want to? The hit on the battery with WiFi on is enormous so keeping it on when in standby would soon see the battery expire. Unless you don't have a mobile data plan there's not a lot of point in keeping WiFi on.
Mobile Data on/off: There is a program called Modaco NoData that allows you to manually turn the data connection on or off. As above though, why would you want to? These devices are sold and used as 'connected' devices and mobile data is used for a lot of background updating like weather updates, MyPhone sync etc. An open but quiescent data connection has almost no impact on battery life, and only uses data when programs are set to do so.
SatNav: TomTom don't officially support the HD2, but there are many forum topics about how to get it workng as long as you buy the correct version. iGO8 is a bit different- it is not formally available in UK and even where is it available it has to be run from the SD card it is supplied on. Also, it is pretty expensive. If you have a legitimate copy, there are ways to make it work from a different SD card.
Facebook: No idea- I don't use it!
Thank you Neil, yea iv got my head round some of it, luckily im not a technophobe im just in new territory
I only want to keep the wifi on because i stream radio when at home when its on charge and the streams just stop when the device sleeps but thanks for the battery tip, ill remember to disable wifi when i know im not in range of any.
Mobile web, i do have an "unlimited data plan" but subject to fair usage policy so got me panicking a lil bit when i see its been connected for hours but knowing that it doesnt actualy use any data unless needed is good to know.
Thanks for he jargon busting as well, Iv seen that there are higher versions of Mania/Sense on here and im aware that they may void warranty but am i right in thinking a hard reset put's it back to factory original? If so, im happy to upgrade the version but what new features would i be getting? Id quite like the whole today and manila tabs to go landscape.
Satnav, ill probably stick with CoPilot as the 5 day demo it came with functioned better than my dedicated Sony satnav lol
Once again, thank you very much
If you want to maintain the WiFi when the device is on charge, the best way is to go into the Power settings, and set the parameters for 'External Power' to always stay on.
Even a USB charger is capable of maintaining a charge with the device turned on.
Regarding the Manila updates etc- you actually have to install a newer ROM to get these new features. I have to say that pretty much all the current 'cooked' ROMs have issues of one sort or another. Once the new ROM is installed, a hard reset only puts it back to how it was after that ROM was installed. You cna however always revery to a stock ROM if you need to.
