Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a program that allows you to set various ring profiles like on the nokia phones. This is a very useful and quick way of changing ring settings. :roll:
Hi,
I use phone alarm from pocketmax and have done for about 6 months. I think it works perfectly especially when getting on a flight.
www.pocketmax.net
Hope that helps,
M.
Or try PocketZenPhone, it's much easier that PocketAlarm.
Try PocketZenPhone, is the better!!
Have to say originally I tried - ok 6 months ago - PocketZenPhone and didn't like it. It hung alot and just didn't integrate well. Haven't tried the newer version.
Phone alarm though I like for the following reasons:
1. Allows MP3 SMS tones
2. Repeating alarms (like Motorola) to avoid missing alarms
3. Integration with WebIS mail
4. Integration into Today screen
5. Skins
6. GPRS settings
7. General notification settings
It seems to do what PocketZenPhone does and more. Just my opinion though
M. :lol:
Here you go!
Hi mates,
I have spent several days looking for a phone profiler (ala Nokia) as much simple as possible... no whistles and bells, no bloatware... just profiles.
I miserably failed!
So I decided to develop myself a software solution to accomplish this simple task.
I am so happy with it that I have decided to share it with you.
It is completely FREE. Take it as it is, of course!
I've been using it for several weeks now, and could not experience any failures. Nonetheless there could be bugs or malfunctionings I would be glad to fix if you let me know.
My "Phone Profiles" includes a control panel Applet to change your settings and a Today Item plugin to easily select or change the current profile.
Just select the today item, tap-n-hold (or hold the action button down) to display a popup menu with your profiles.
For all the CLaunch lovers, it also possible to activate a given profile from a command line using the following sintax:
ctlpnl.exe profiler.cpl, n, 1
where n is the profile number. Change 1 to 0 if you want just to edit the profile's settings.
This software has been tested on WM2003SE Phone Edition only.
That's all, I guess.
Enjoy.
M. Panzica (aka Silver Bullet)
UPDATED: Looks like it does not work properly if compiled with VS2005. Recompiled with eVC4. Please re-download. Sorry.
Pocket Zen Phone can be found at http://zendrui.free.fr/ :wink:
@TheBrit
Do you mean you didn't like mine ?
@slvrbllt - does your profiler work on WM5 - I have a universal and am interested to know if it works on that. I can't test it on it tho just now cuz it's away for repair
@NinjaDonkey:
Nope, buddy.
As far as I know it doesn't work (yet) on WM5, since I use API calls that require the code to be signed. I am currently working on a new version that is supposed to be running on WM5 as well... stay tuned.

I'm sure yours is just fine.
I've been using PZP for a while now and it really does the trick. It not only profiles ring tones but lots of other settings too. 8)
...and here is the ITALIAN version many of you have requested.

hi! i'm a new magician user. may i ask how will I install your Profiler to my phone?
Try PocketZenPhone or PhoneAlarm
Those 2 should be the best in the market now
I just try both of them as of late
And I must say I choose PhoneAlarm better than PZP, PZP is a little slow and would hang once in a while
Plus PhoneAlarm got more feature like billing info, better skining...ext
@Silver Bullet: Could you post some screenshots please?

PZP has full instuctions here: http://zendrui.free.fr/

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed your little program on my Magician, and I am seriously impressed! The Today DLL is a mere 12k, and everything works flawlessly so far!
Great job - thanks a lot!
Would you allow me a few comments, in no particular order?
- your program needs a name.
- the GPRS problem that PZP has seems to not exist in your program - well done! I'm almost convinced to switch...
- this thread here is about the three existing profiles programs. Could we have a separate thread for your program?
- would you care to comment how you manage to switch on/off Bluetooth? I remember that for Zendrui this was not easy to implement. Does your program also handle Widcomm stacks?
- I would be interested in a German version, and if you send me a string table, I'd be more than happy to to provide German translations.
- one wish: I certainly do not want all of the settings PZP offers, but there are a few I do miss:
-- setting the volume for system sounds. There are situations where any sound is unacceptable, even the beeps when tapping.
-- set the backlight time-out. For example, when I navigate, I do not want the backlight to turn off at all.
-- backlight level independently for battery and charging mode.
Yes, I know that this already sounds like beginning featuritis. But afaik all these settings are simple registry entries, so should not bloat the code. Trying to put this into the UI may be a bit tricky. Well, just my personal wishes - feel free to ignore if you disagree.
Overall, I find it a really well-done little program. Thanks a lot again!
Cheers

In my opinion the best is Profiler :lol: Very simple and friendly program.

Having had my XDA 2 now for a few weeks, and having finally worked out most of the kinks of the really inadequate bluetooth stack (by installing the widcomm stack) I am now moved to address my other annoyances: the very feature poor phone software.
I expected a very configurable phone, but was very disappointed with the microsoft dailer. The short list of features I find missing are:
No separate ring tones can be assigned to each contact. This could be very usefully, as you would know who is phoning without checking the screen.
No software to keep track of your calls or GPRS allowance. Even my old nokia from 3 years ago could do that.
No way to transfer a call from the handset to a headset. I know you can do it the other way around, why not this way too?
Very little status information on the dailer screen. Why is this,when most cell phone screens look like the status display on a jet?
Anyways, there is alot more, and people may want to add their annoyances. Im really wondering if there is any software that can replace the microsoft Dailer (like Pocketinformant replaces the pocket outlook).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Surur
Took me a minute to know what you're talking about.
No, I hate the built-in dialer on the Pocket PC.
The author of mobidial (http://www.mobidial.com) told me there will be an XDA II version.. hopefully soon.
-arebelspy
hey,
just a few comments....
re: No separate ring tones can be assigned to each contact
- i beleive the o2 xda site has free software for download; one of which is called powercontacts. i believe it allows you to assign a ringtone to each contact. i tried it when i still had the xda1...never got it to work. so, i downloaded a trial version of ringtonex; it works like a charm and i'm able to assign individual ringtones to any contact i want. i immediately bought the software, i think it was for around 9usd. now that i'm using the xda2; the software still works great. for ringtones what i did was record the voice of my friends, officemates, my wife, and used those wav files for ringtones corresponding to their contacts. it also works in tandem with the photocontacts app in the xda2
re: No way to transfer a call from the handset to a headset
-the xda2 has bluetooth and i use it together with the bt200 headset. incoming and outgoing calls are automatically transferred to the headset.
2 cents worth.
cheers mate
robson
Transferring from phone to headset is a headset dependent thing. My HBH-65 allows me to transfer to phone and back to headset, but my Jabra wouldn't have.
Thx for the great pointers. I am definitely getting the RingtoneX app, and mobidail or something similar, when it comes out.
I just wish that developers would design more for handed use, not using a stylus, especially as bluetooth voicedailing does not work.
About transferring to a headset, I mean after you pick up a call with the XDA, transferring the call to a headset should be possible, but has not worked for me yet.
Another minor peeve, why is the sms option not on the dialler, but on the menu bar, and why is speaker phone also not on the front, but you have to press a key for it. There still needs to be alot of improvement. Hopefully independent programmers will kick in and fix all these deficiencies. It does make you wonder if the developers actually use their own devices or not...

Very little status information on the dailer screen. Why is this,when most cell phone screens look like the status display on a jet?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i think it's because that most cell phones screens is their version of the today screen
i most surdenly would not wish such a confusing cluttet messy interface on my worst enemy
(yeah of cause not all cellphones are all that bad some many are)
I dont know. At least they should have the battery status on the screen, and the network logo would not be ammis either (currently its difficult to know when you have no reception, or just no reception)
Alot of the stuff thats currently in the task bar could also be bigger icons on the dailer, and it would also make it look less plain and just incomplete, as if its been thrown together at the last minute.
Surur
well not sure if it's much help but if you install some bar like advanced wisbar on your pda you'll have batt status in the bar both in today and the dialer
suppose this is a pre customised vs. free 3. party customising
some people like to set up their device with personal customising and some people want the place they buy it to handle that
in that way i suppose xda and other such devices are more like computers then std phones are
of cause if one get a xda with all the stuff in the preloaded provider rom they get more of that stuff you want
of cause thats not saying that they get enough
Ive been a user of Icbar for a long time, but as notifications is so important on a PPCPE device, and its not supported, I am not able to use it anymore. This is unfortuanate, as I enjoyed knowing what my battary status is all the time.
Surur
If you want to use your finger to dial contacts try Fingerclix by imaginet software. I used it on my Samsung I700 and now my I-Mate and it works just fine.
http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=fingerclix_en
This is brilliant. It would be even better if it could use the phone key insteadof loosing my contacts button. Any idea how to do htis.
Thx

Hi All
Ive been requested to develop a simple profile manager for the xda II.
My users thought thet Zen's was gr8 but too complicated and too big on the today screen.
Here is what Ive come up with thus far. If anyone is interested feel free to check it out and of course any feedback is welcomed.
Cheers
Bretto

Old download files deleted. The latest apps are further down the thread.

Hi All
How it works.
Profiles :-
Silent
Turns system and ringer volume down. Can still use bluetooth and bt headset. Can still select vibrate functionality.
Soft,normal,load
User definable. Can set system volume. can set ringer volume, can use bluetooth and bt headset, can select a number of different ring options (ring, ring and vibrate, etc)
Automatic
This profile is a special one. as above but can opt to trigger on appointment status of meeting or busy. When selected it used the previously selected profile's options (if using normal then switch to automatic, normal profile settings are still in use) but when an outlook appointment of status busy or meeting starts as per outlook entry the profile changes to whatever the settings are you selected in the setup for automatic. When the appointment ends the profile settings switch back to how they were and it all goes around again for the next meeting until such time as you switch to another profile.
Here is the lastest version (v1.06 ) of the app and some screenshots.
Cheers
Bretto
Hi Bretto.
I haven't installed your application yet, but why are they called 'demo'? Is this utility commercial?
Well, for Zen's PhoneProfile not only can you make the icons smaller (I used paintshop pro and reduced them 50%), so that it's smaller on teh today screen, you can now also use PocketZenPhone Tray, the version of PZP that resides in the tool tray rather then the today screen....
Hi all
Im just calling them demo versions at the moment. Of course when its finished I wont.
I was using pocketzenphone myself but I simply got pushed into this project because some of my users wanted an alternative to what else is around. Something simple that handles the basics.
Cheers

IMHO:
With PocketZenPhone you can both manage the simplest options and have some more sophisticated options like run a program on profile switch, switch a profile according to any outlook status, manage all the available profiles on a timed base... etc., etc,
With it you can do all of this or just use its basic functions, and the settings page is "newbie proof" (oops...I was using a less polite expression :shock: :lol: )
Finally... I cannot see any reason to develop another application... also considering the price that PZP costs: if your nice sw will do less it will have to cost less...
But of course the choice is up to you, good luck !
I certainly appreciate your comments but I would have thought choice for the consumer was always a good thing.
Not withstanding that its users who have requested this application after reviewing whats available.
I certainly dont take anything away from PZP its a great product and Im sure will only get bigger and better. Personally I like it.
Cheers
Bretto
Thank U Bretto for a exelent work .. Love it ..
Carlis
Thanks for the feedback
I do have a new version with some enhancements that were requested.
The ability to have bluetooth on/off/leave as is.
The ability to have a point and click selection mode as well as the popup selection mode.
A couple of fixes.
The app is still being tested so when it has been cleared I'll post a new version for you.
Cheers
Bretto
Hi All
Here version 1.08 for you to play with.

nice work, only bad thing is the "demo" popup after setting the profile..
Hi All
Thanks very much for all your comments and feedback.
This app has been released for sale as at V1.09.

Hi slvrbllt,
Just been to your site. Many thanks for the cycle bluetooth app, just what I was looking for.
I tried your Phone Profiles app and its good but unfortunately conflicts with my Qtek firmwares flight mode - it's a long story.
Anyway I'm trying to remove the app but finding it a little difficult. It keeps saying that /windows/profiler.dll is open or read only even after a soft reset. Any ideas how I can remove the app? It suggests doing a stop all but no apps are listed there.
Thank you,
hi slvrbllt!! Can we assign only a vibration for the new SMS without ringing (for a silent profile for example with a vibration for the ring)? Thanks for this great update!bye

Thanks, I gave it a try but it has problems with flightmode also (note. these problems seem to be due to a particular Qtek firmware). I think I'll stick with radiooff and CicleBT. Thanks for the info though.
I've downloaded and installed the software, it look good !!
But when I get an incomming call the callerid popup appears followed by a short beep, not the ringtone I setup in the profile... What am I doing wrong ??
Regards,
Dennis :?
I installed it on my Dopod 818 Pro and it was working fine. However I noticed that the ringtone I assign for any profile is disregarded! It always plays the default ringtone.
So I had to remove it
[Posted to wrong thread]
I can't even install it... I just have this cab(?) file called Winmobileapps_PhoneProfiles.zip but what do I do with it? If I unzip it to my home pc, three files come out from it but none of them is an installation file (.exe)
-John
Try this link http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=15580 then
Yeah, but the specific thing here is; Where do I put the CAB file on my device - which directory??? As you can see I don't know ANYTHING about Win CE
-John
Hi John,
you'll get used to it. I suggest you put the .cab on your SD-card, either via Act.Sync, a card reader or direct download with Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE). Then click it from within File Explorer to install. I've installed it to my storage folder (not the default location) & it runs well.
Another suggestion: get caninstl (google for it), then you can choose where to install cab-files far more easily & it got an option not to delete the cab after finishing the installation.
Regards, M
Nice work slvrbllt, everything that was missing in your first post in now in it. You made me happy hehe

What is exactly the feature is (I haven't install v1.2.0 yet)?
Thanks!

Hi-res Icons are for VGA devices only... ;-)

Hi slvrbllt, i have tried your other app Flightmode on my BA WM5 and it works great. I have a question on Phone Profiles; would it be possible to add control over the backlight and power save options? This would be helpful to create a profile for "Car" for instance where i need the backlight on and power save disabled for my GPS and would be easier to setup a profile to do this.
Thanks for your applications and hard work.
Hi,
Im just looking for a simple app to create/switch profiles on my 8525, to just set different preset values for notification sounds and volumes. PhoneAlarm is good, but i dont need all the stuff it offers as a today plugin, i just need profile switching.
Are there any freeware apps for this?
Thanks!
Modaco PPCProfiles-Pro
Yes, I would love a repeating notification reminder like PhneAlarm has but just refuse to have all the other rubbish it comes with - don't need Today plugin or skins, or profiles or even multiple sounds (just a beep once a minute will do me fine).
Alas, I have been looking for weeks and can find nothing.
Some that look promising, trun out not to work in sleep mode which I believe is the big problem. If you have to wake the OS constantly to create the sound it uses lots of battery power.
But maybe someone will come up with something eventually... even if it is MS and the OEMs.
An alternative i previously used before PA was PocketZenPhone you can use a today plugin or a simple tray app, which is what sounds like you need.
Works really well, im not sure if its free or not but it does the business. The only reason i switched to PA was because i wanted profile switching based on GSM CellID (which i had on my old Sony Ericsson P900 with "Magic Profiles Pro").
But it is good, and a tidy app rather thana brightly skinned today plugin.
PocketZENphone not free anymore
...sorry, you got to pay for Version 6 now...
I use PocketZenPhone, yes you do have to pay for it, but there is a 15 day trial use.
I did use Phone Alarm but changed for the same reason, it did too much for what I wanted.
All I can say about PocketZenPhone is that it does a vary good job of being able to set up different profiles.
I have it set up as Silent, Quiet, Normal, Loud and Car.
Makes changing volume level, ring tones, message tones a doddle.
I recommend it.

what are you guys using for switching profiles ?
i'm looking for a basic profiles app along thelines of ppcprofiles or phoneweaver.
unfortunately, i cannot seem to get phoneweaver to work at all - changing profiles says that the notification has changed but it never does.
is anyone else having this problem or should i blame it all on tf3d ?
thanks in advance
I always use the SPB movile shell and want more profiles too!
you could use spb phone suite. it works but imho it takes up too much place on the today screen.

Hi there all,
you could use the Touch HD\ HTC profile manager. It can be found under the Xperia Programs, Panels and tweaks section for the Xperia. I was also looking for the same thing a while back, and found that.
hope that helps!

I dont think we are talking about the same thing? ... the volume control is just a new skin for setting the volume right? .. I think with profiles we mean like they are used in nokia phones where depending on your selected profile u ve a different ringtone, volume, message tone etc. ?
cause I d find something like this really useful .. at the moment I cant even figure out how to change the tone of when I receive a text message.
Looking at the Original Poster's request, I suggested a solution, which I thought fits the bill pretty well.
If you want to switch between silent, ring and vibrate then this does the job.
having read the request again, and googling the programs that mrdo tried, i see that i may have made a mistake. :S
The SPB Phone Suite is awesome! Well worth the dosh! Have as many profiles as you want plus automatic time or event based profile switching.

thanks for your input. i do have the touchstone volume control installed and it's very handy but i am looking for something that will allow me to switch ringtones, alerts and volumes at the touch of a button.
after a hard reset and yet another reinstall of my apps, phoneweaver still doesn't work. grrr and double grrr.
mrdo, what is the problem specifically? Is there an error on the device or do you start the application but nothing of significance appears?
I briefly tried phoneweaver and had the latter problem. Couldnt figure out whether it was running or not.
In the end I ended up giving up and going for the Touch HD simple profile manager.
I don't find HTC profile manager in that thread, can u post the direct link?
