in order to manage missed calls, incoming notifications emails and sms,
are there others apps?
i use my magician since few weeks and i have to say that altought ppc s.o. could make many things, there are not good application to have simply phone functions..... : (
am i right?
my goal is a good screen locker, locking pda also after a missing call (standard lock wakes pda, screen and buttons are active);
good sms manager: big screen and big fonts when a sms arrives;
manage sms and mms sounds separately from other system sounds.
which app do u use for manage phone, sms and profiles?
can u advice me?
thanks in advance
photo contacts pro
For profiles and different sounds I use PocketZenPhone.
The one and only good screen locker is ScreenGuard in my opinion.
For your SMS and MMS issues, I don't know a solution. Maybe there just is no because the phone API of Windows Mobile is not completely officially documented from what I've heard.

I have tried most of them outthere, but have to say that PocketMax PhoneAlarm is the best ( IMHO )...

i'll second this. For photo contacts pro v4, there's profile for your ringtones such as 'outdoor, meeting, silent & etc' apart from the individual ringtone assigned to your contacts and photo id.
do a search on aivanet or iphone-forum.org
cheers

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category with the HTC Wizard (IE: Friends get ring1, family gets ring2, business gets ring3, etc.)? I have found a way to assign the ringtone for each specific contact, but that can be a pain when you have a large number of contacts.
Thanks in advance,
You can do that with Photo Contact Pro!
I don't think it is possible in default WM5
Doesn't mortring do that, free?

How did you do that?
shdwphnx, How did you assign ringtones by contacts?
Thanks

Edit your contact, and scroll down about 75% of the screen - there is a Ringtone option there. At least there is on my US T-Mobile MDA.
BTW, which field is used in Outlook for Ringtone? Perhaps it would be easier to assign the ringtone on PC and then sync it?

I just found Mortring, and it is unfortunately currently not compatible with WM5.

As far as I have been able to determine, the Ringtone field is not transferred to Outlook on the PC.
Hopefully Mort will update his program, or someone else will release something similar for a reasonable price. (I found a few such as Photo Contacts Pro, but they all have lots of features I don't need, and am not willing to pay for).
There is a nice app that does excactly that, i've tried it out on my k-jam and worked very well, assigning ringtones to groups and even sms tones to groups or individual contacts and still keeping the default sms notification tone!
However (there always are howevers)
Before installing the app, when i would receive an incoming call and just wanted to silence the ringer, not reject the call i'd simply slide the volume button up or down and the ring would stop.
After installing it i could no longer silence a call by the volume button, therefore my only options where to answer it or reject it.
I contacted their support team and was told that it's not possible to silence the ringer as the app's ringer is controlled by the system volume, not the phone volume..
If you're quite happy not having the option to silence the ringer of an incoming call, then i recommend trying this app.
Product Name: Ringo Mobile WM5 (by Electric Pocket) .
in settings--sound and notifications-- advanced
there you have settings for each alert however for new sms, email, missed call the repeat option is greyed out, how can i enable this ?
I want it to keep bleeping till i realize either constantly more preferrable every few minutes. prefer not to have to put extra software that has a million more functions which i am not looking for. Feel the more apps the more issues tend to arise (purist)
No WM5 does not offer any way to repeat reminders for missed calls, undread text messages, unread multimedia messages, etc.
However I strongly suggest that you try out PhoneAlarm latest version. In addition to repeat alarms it also will provide you with an easy way to define profiles and switch to the desired profile with the click of an on-screen icon.

Hope this helps.

PhoneAlarm is great, working real well so far, and it does what i wanted.
Thanks alot for the tip.
Are there any more skins available other then the ones on the pocketmax website ?

ok phonealarm works good but ...
does exist a "Registry-way" to repeat the sound?
I think that Phonealarm is great, but the pda run much more slow with it.
Why would it be an option if we can't change it?
apReminder plus is the answer. Small footprint, and much versatility. I find phone alarm is too intensive and when combined woith WisBar and WAD everything goes tits-up.
Using this application you can change your Incoming Call, Reminder Alarm, Clock Alarm, SMS Alarm to any sound file on your device with no limitation.
This program supports audio formats like MP3, Wave, AAC and WMA.
Be aware that installing and running this program will turn off functionalities like standard SMS recieve notification and standard SMS alarm notification.
If you want to uninstall it, first remove the shortcut of MessageInterception from Startup folder and then run Uninstall.reg file to enable standard SMS recieve notification and set standard SMS alarm notification from Settings, Notifications And Sounds, then restart (soft reset) your device.
I have tested this application on Windows Mobile 6.0 And Windows Mobile 6.1 and on my own Wizard (G4) device.
Note : This application may disable Threaded SMS.
Please feel free to post bugs and new ideas,
Thanks,
damet dadash
Could you post some screen shots of this app im not sure I know what this does or why it disables the standard notifications? Does it give you different notifications? Sorry if im a little slow.

Um, er... it sounds like its a replacement for standard functionality, therefore only one can handle these events at a time. Also it enhances standard functionality with more sound formats.
What I'm looking for is a good set of sound themes
I'm waiting for this apps !!! Great i will test it immediatly
Dears,
Please report your device info and if it is running on your device or not.

What error did you get after running uninstall ?
Dear speoples20,
This attachment may help you out of this problem.
These files are in zip format, so you should have an application to open and extract them ( uninstall.zip and EnableThreadedSMSMMS.zip )
Is this application for WM 6.0 to enable the Threaded SMS feature found in WM 6.1? Or just an application to deactivate the Threaded SMS feature in the WM 6.1?

Does your SMS notification behave as expected ? I mean if the application handles them or not.
Change your alarm clock setting to what it was before from Settings, Notifications & Sounds. Then re-check again.
Do you have the same problem with Incoming Call ?
Thanks,
The program has an issue with smartSMS program.
Conflict occured when there're smses sent from smartSMS' red list.

hi,
I have this software called photo contacts pro, this software can let u change sms tones for each contact (like the way u change ringtones on the standard wm contacts).
But i have a problem, the software conflicts with my wm/spb shell software and as such if i change my profile in the spb shell (and standard wm setting) to say silent, it does not change.
Does anyone know of a software that lets me change sms tones for different contacts but does not do anything else (profiles etc) or has the ability to choose what it can do.
ps. i know there are settings on photo contacts pro but if u set it not to do anything but sms tones, the standard wm settings still dont work.
thanks

Hi people, I've an HTC TP2, and I was trying to set a ringtone for a callers group. I've seen there's not this capability...
Is there a software that can do it?
tnx in advance, Giovanni
+1
I need this also, or at least - on my treo 700wx with WM5 and treo pro WM6.1 I had known and unknown caller rings
I use Pocket Informant and it allows you to assign ringtones to groups by filtering your contacts via category, then selecting all contacts and assigning a ringtone to them all.
It's a handful of clicks but I don't do it every day so find it quite useful
Beh, I could try to develop it... Anyone wants to help me is welcome!
Do you know where contacts are stored?

Search for MortRing. I've been using it since my Prophet days...
In TP2, TF3D needs to be disabled to find the icon in home... I didn't understand also where to add categories...
Is there something more update?
tnx

Yes, initially when u set up mort-ring, you have to disable tf3d. categories are defined in your contacts list. If you set "A" as family, "B" as work etc, it'll appear in mortring.
After you set up mortring, you don't have to touch it anymore. It'll run in the background hidden behind tf3d

Unfortunately, it's not free...
you can assign specific rings tones for specific contacts as a built-in feature.. but i am not sure about the call groups

Fortunately, Tone Manager is You can use it to assign a ringtone to all entries belong to a Category.
To set a contact to Category on TP2, you need to edit your traditional Windows Mobile Contacts and not your TF3D interface. The most direct way is by:
Start > All Programs > Contacts
Note you can assign a contact to more than one category.
If you have opened your entry using address book from People tab, you can access Contacts by clicking "More" at the bottom of the entry.
An alternative is to your Contacts in Microsoft Outlook on your computer, then sync it back to the device.
hi
Freeware vipringtone does this job excellently, category, individual contact ringtones etc,. Just a search away from you. if you couldn't locate it, send me msg and I'll post the cab. Been using it since WM5 to WM6.5 works fine.
