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.

Hope that helps,

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

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.

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.
Cheers.
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?
Greetings,

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

hi, i have problems with wizards alarm and i was wondering,
dose any one have or know any good third party alarm clock software?
someone else in another forum here asked a similar question. My favorite bar none is Chronos. I've used it for a year or so and have never once missed an alarm
where do i get this Chronos?
where do i get this Chronos?
Firstly, ever heard of google?
Secondly, don't bother it will not wake up the device from standby so it is effectively useless.....
Says who it won't wake a device out of standby? I use my wizard as an alarm clock to wake me up in the morning. After 8 hours it is most definitely in standby.
Agreed, google is your friend, you should be able to find a trial of Chronos on any of the normal pocket pc software sites (handango, pocketgear, etc.)
Try the trial and see if it fixes your problem... I would be willing to bet that it does.
Errmmm,
I have the trial version (so it is the latest and not cracked or illegal); it does not wake the K-Jam out of standby (especially when snooze feature is used). This is also the case for my wife's XDA Mini S as well. Alarms are a well known problem on the Wizard; you must be a lucky one.
Hi,
Give pTravelAlarm a shot...
It's really great... it does wake up the device - and it turns it into an effective alarm clock. Really nice. Using it on all my business travels.
Google pTravelAlarm
Oh, and it also has a today plugin. Great little proggy.

WELL i have installed it. (pTravel Alarm) and it dose not wake up.
the simple way of doing this if anyone wants to use this software is that you use th wizards standard alarm to wake the wizard and then time it to set off after 1 min.
After my hardreset i did not install SPB pocketplus and my wizard never missed an alarm again. Although some people with pocketplus do not experience any alarm trouble i will stay away from it.
Also there is a free program called "check notifications" or something like it. It searches for duplicates/corruptions in your notification database. (probably responsible for the problems)
i'ts a standalone .exe file that you can copy to your ppc and then run from there. I heard it does wonders...
You know what, i will attach it to this post as an extra service

THANKS
if i remove the duplicate file will take currupt my Wizard?
eeehm i have no clue as to what you're asking here :shock:
But i guess the question is about the notification checker
just run it on your pda,you'll get a list of all your notifications (alarms), it will show the duplicates in red to delete.
the file will not take corrupt your wizard, but don't give your corruption wizard taking of the database :lol:

Chronos... the alarm clock of the gods!
I've been using Chronos on my K-Jam with the original and new ROM and it works a treat, waking me from stand-by, snoozing etc.
check out http://www.activekitten.com/en/games/detail.php?ID=351 for more info and a trial... their support is great as well... let 'em know how you find it for you on your machine
try Mobialarm 3.2 - works for me and plays most types of media files including wma. And its free
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=587
And yes it does come out of standby

AHHHHH
This is driving me crazy.
Downloaded, installed and looked really good BUT......
When the alarm goes off and I press dismiss, it just keeps on vibrating.
I cannot stop it NOTHING I have done short of going to my running programs list and KILLING the app stops it vibrating.
Is it just me???????

not good. it's done that to me, only once on the original (pre AKU2) ROM but I've not seen it do that since. might be worth a support request just to let 'em know
ALARM
I use mp3alarmpro.net and it wakes my k-jam just fine and without fail..
Best part is you can choose any mp3 or wav file from any folder in your device

How did you download this?
Each time I try their download link it takes me to their site map page.
seems to be broken. have sent an email to the ActiveKittens to find out what's broken! Hopefully they're just releasing v2.9....
Thanks Offbeat - I will keep an eye on the site.
Hi all,
I need help waking up in the morning and figure I'd use my phone for that, along with my other two alarm clocks
My problem is, the alarm function of this phone, Cingular 8525, leaves a lot to be desired. My question to you, simple and to the point, is: what Alarm program do you use that is free or at least reasonably priced? I tried SPT Time, and though it seemed nice, seemed to be more than what I was looking for. I'd like something simple but good.
Thanks,
ADP
I hear PhoneAlarm is awesome.. I'm gonna try it out pretty soon.
Check it out here:
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
not free tho ..
Try Pocket Wakeup...it's free and works great! You can setup to use any mp3 as your wakeup alarm sound. Check it out:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1299
http://pocketalarm.iit-bsuir.com/indexen.htm is free for Russians
I use Stop Time by Jonathon Sachs on my Himalaya with WM2003 but haven't tried it on my TyTN yet.
http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/
The calculator Eval is good too.
PocketTravelAlarm is also great, not free though
Is anyone having success with apReminder+ on their Wizard?
I cannot seem to get it to react to notifications, etc. It "runs" and appears to be operating and a .lnk is in the \windows\startup but thats all I get.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
I have tried the pocketmax pa alarm but it is to much for me and seems to slow my dev.
Regards,
Padawan

ps. I think i've arrived at the promised-land when on this site!
Well, I happened to be the author of this utility.
apReminder+ kind of works on WM5, except one feature - Auto Snooze. That's because the Reminder pop-up in WM5 is implemented completely different way compared to previous versions.
But the repeat functionality should work fine - I'm using it on my JAMin.
Hi Alpax,
apReminder+ is exactly what I have been looking for, but alas I can't get it to work on my WM5 Hermes
Followed your instruction exactly but don't get any reminders.
Any ideas or suggestions... or if you know of an app like yours (simple and small) that will work, would love to hear.
Seems like an indispensable utility to me and I'm surprised there aren't lots avaliable.

The utility does not implement the reminders themselves - it just repeats alarm sounds when finds the system reminder pop-up on the screen. Do you see the pop-up with "Reminder" text in its caption, when the alarm goes off?
If it doesn't work, it's difficult to track down the cause as there is no visual indication if apReminder+ is running and handling reminders.
First of all you have to make sure your system reminder dialog is enabled, then set system sound volume to maximum (just to be sure it's not muted and loud enough), run apReminderPlus.exe, check Play sound option (press [ > ] to test it), set number of repeats to 5, for example, and repeat interval - every 30 seconds. Tap Run, create a reminder in Calendar or an alarm in Clock&Alarms, wait for the Reminder dialog to come up and do not dismiss it for some time - hear for reminder sounds.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work - it worked every time I tried on any PocketPC including WM5 devices.
Thanks for the quick response.
I think I see my problem... I thought it would work for Notifications also. I first saw apReminder mentioned in a thread for reminders when calls or messages were missed, which is what I need most - not so much for appointment reminders.
Sorry.
Great little app but if it could do the above it would be awesome!

No, it works for regular PIM reminders and alarms, doesn't handle phone notifications, sorry. Those are completely different things, which have to be handled some other way.
Is there an alternate to this program that works on WinMo 6.1 ?
I need a good program who can easy change my ring setings(ring tones,volume...), and that is not for Today plugin.
what are your recommendations ?
I daily use SBSH PhoneWeaver : http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/phoneweaver
Good, reliable, and effiscient... My phone is totally under control of PhoneWeaver !
(Switch on and off, mute while meeting, etc...)
thanks for help,
I try PhoneWeaver 2.0 and it is OK.
i'm using phonealarm for several years now and i'm very happy with it. It has many many nice features...a bit hard to make it all work in the beginning, but once everything is configured as you like, it works very well!
phonealarm is too complex and large program
but thanks for help.
For me phoneAlarm is the best, you can set everything for each profile.
Yes, a little complicated but it's doing everything. the best for me.
Well, i think both solutions have got their advantages...
It's just a matter of taste... and experience !
Maybe PhoneWeaver is better for a beginner... more intuitive ?
Solved, hence shut.
PS: A search would have been a better option, do use it in the future.
