personalised ringtones and message tones - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I know we can have personalised ringtones per person. This is easily done via the contacts setting for the person.... But is it possible to do this for sms's too?
Also as a bonus... how about for emails for specific people....?
Thanks,
Dre

ohhh now your pushing it, M$ have only just got around to doing personal ringers, you godda let them learn to walk before getting them running dude

Problem with custom sms ringtone

Hi guys, i am new to this forum and after going through some of the threads i can say that this is a gr8 forum to find help regarding ppc phones. Hence, I hope that someone could solve the problem i have been having with my sms ringtone.
I just bought an Imate Jamin a week back and i am definitely loving it. Anyways, the first thing i did, is make a few custom incoming call and sms ringtones and set it up on my device. Now the incoming call ringtones are working as usual but the sms ringtones have a problem. A particular sms ringtone is around 15-20 secs long, and when i recieve a new sms, the ringtone keeps playin even after opening a new sms and also after closing it.
As far as i know from previous experience, the ringtone should stop playing once i have pressed the appropriate button to open the sms. My friends are using the same sms ringtones on their nokia and motorolla phones but they dont have such problems. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be.
I can't answer you this question but have a request: do you have some nice sms ringtones to share with me??
I would appreciate....
Thanks!
Yeah sure man. I 'll give you the one i am using at the moment. However, the ringtone is in wav format and i cant seem to upload wav files on this site. You might have to give me your email add or if you know a better way to send the files to you pls let me know.
Also if you want some really cool ringtones and other stuff, go and take a look at this site http://homesite.mobile9.com/
Thanks for the site! I sent you a private message with my e-mail.
All the best to you & New Zealand!

New Email Sound

Right guys, im after a bit of help here, i need a different sound for when i get a new email, so that i can tell if the message is an sms or an email.
Ive had a listen through the OEM ones on the tytn but none are really any good, so just wondered what everyone is using? To give you all an idea, i am a mobile pc engineer so i around customers all day long so it cant be anything silly.
What are peoples thoughts?
Most of the phone sounds ive got on mine are ripped from the star trek lcars console sounds......prolly not appropriate!?
haha i wish i could mate, but your right, probably would be best if the customer hears "beam me up scotty!" :lol: :lol:
Try this, I use this for SMS and a normal WM5 sound for email.

I use the bionic man sound. Let me know if you're interested.

Hey all,

Works for me
anyone like this one?
I used these

messaging contacts in SIM

hey everyone
i'm new to this forum, have read around and found alot of useful info about the tytn.
but there are two issues i havent seen anyone talk about on this or may be its just me.
first, i cant seem to find an option to text message contacts that are saved in my SIM. Can you not message contacts in your SIM? or am i doing something wrong here?
Secondly, how do i set my ringtone as the alarm tone as well? because the sounds for alarm are too short and i need someting that will play for a while.
can anyone help me out with these ? any help will be appreciated. Thank You in advance
For the alarm tone, you need to copy a .wav file to the WINDOWS folder of you device. It should then show up in the drop down menu on the alarm page.
Unfortunately, you can only use .wav files and not .mp3. I've also noticed that files larger than 30kb wont play which means the tones would be short.
oh ok.. i tried to put .mp3 file in the windows because i noticed the alarm tones are there but i did not see it when i was setting the alarm so i guess it should be .wav and no more than 30kb i guess?
thanx alot.. going to try that
is there a way set different tones for receiving a text message and different tone for receiving a call? i did not see an option for that
also about text messaging.. i cant see an option of texting a contact if they're saved in my sim.. is there a way around it?
thank you for your help
anyone....?

when you open contacts and select a sim contact it asks you do either to make a call or send a text

thanx for the info.. i put a .wav file into windows folder and the size was 798kb and it worked
figured out everythin except messaging sim contacts..
i go in contacts.. there are no contacts so i go into menu .. sim manager.. and go into menu .. no option of text messaging.. i even keep the scroll wheel pressed on a contact and only options are to edit, delete or call.. etc but no text messaging.. so i'm guessing the contacts have to saved on the phone !?
You're not the only one, I had the same Issue with my SIM contacts and text messaging also
Spent HOURS on the phone arguing with the iMate Support Helpdesk guys who all use the same stock-standard response "Have you soft-reset? Try a hard reset? I know you say you've done it but do it now while Im on the phone? Didnt work? I dont know then?"
Problem no longer exists with WM6, I also made a thread on a local forum:
http://pressf1.co.nz/showthread.php?t=86250
Unfortunately I dont think they're about to start patching WM5 for us, so I figured it was time to go back to WM6 again (Using Schaps 4.30 this time), and so far so good... pics up my SIM contacts fine in messagins now!
thats a releif .. thanx!!
so i guess i'l b upgrading to a different rom soon enough

Change SMS Notification by Contact

I searched for all kinds of different words hoping to find a quick but simple install that will fix my problem, but I kept finding these full blown applications that do WAY more than I need.
The phone already has ringtones for individual people, but I get system pages from the servers at my office and I'd like to set an SMS ringtone to those that will silence them. I still want the SMS from my friends, etc to come through with the default tone.
I haven't tried it, but would setting a silent ringtone in the contact silence the SMS for that contact too? I thought that was exclusively for voice calls.
Is there something simple I can use rather than buying one of these huge packages that have profiles and more advanced settings than I can shake a stick at? Should I just suck it up and get Ringo or something like it or is there something much simplier that is free that anyone is using? I only want the one e-mail address to be silenced.
(And this is on WM6.1)
Man, I am in EXACTLY the same situation.
I tried Ringo Mobile and it's a piece of junk; didn't work half the time. Was a pain to remove.
The other is phonealert, which is just too much overkill and it didn't work either. I wanna barf.
One thing I've noticed is many of these don't know how to handle SMS messages sent from an email address.
Maybe if they had a "reverse group" logic. That way I could set my default alert to be something loud while every other SMS message played something else.
I'd gladly fork over $20 for something that does this, and that works.
Found one that actually works!!!

$15 bucks.
Has a trial, but worked on an SMS alert from an email address.
FINALLY!!
I've downloaded the trial. It does appear to be working with the e-mail addresses though. Whew!
Thank you very much for the lead! This is very helpful.

Seperate ringtones for sms, email and incoming call

can anyone point in me in the right direction on how to specify a mp3 / wav file for:
1. Incoming Call Ringtone
2. SMS
3. E-Mail
I dont mind editing the regitry if someone could point me to the location.
Also do the ring tones have to be installed in \Windows\rings ?
thanks.
1. Put the MP3 in the My Documents>My Ringtones folder
2. Put the MP3 in the root Windows folder
3. Don't know but I'd imagine it's the same as SMS tones
Put the files in \windows then go to settings tab, sound and display, there you get ringtone setting, then below notification sounds for the rest.
Hiya.
I am working on a ringtone app. Mr-tones.
Just about done and ready to post the release.
I am curious if the registry settings for for the HD2 are the same as for the rest of us?
Of course if it's unique for the HD2 I would like to add those settings...
Thanks much.
Keith

I've managed to sort the ringtones out, ( I wasnt looking hard enough ) but if you want to tell me the registry locations for the stuff you already have, and I can confirm them for you? or if you dont want to post it here you can pm me? either way its up to you.
Or alternatively I can test the program see if it works?
