As you may know, you can assign a custom ringtone to a contact. However, this field does not appear in Outlook.
Everytime I upgrade my TyTN I have to painstakingly re-assign all the custom ringtones again! Very frustrating...
Is there a way to get round this? Thanks for any help in advance.
I'm guessing a backup only,
but if anyone knows how to assign ringtones/pics in outlook and then sync them with the phone please do tell
Still noone has found a solution to this?
I had the same problem and finally solved it with Mortring http://mort.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=63. When finished assingning the custom sounds with Mortring, backup the contacts.dat file from installed directory and restore if afterwards.
works for me!

Thanks for the tip. You da man!
another method for custom ringtones/sounds back up
I have found that backing up the pim.vol file from the phone (copy to SD, HR, rename the new pim.vol and than copy from SD the file + SR is working better.
The method backs up your contacts, calendar, ringtones and call hystory (at least) and it does not create duplicates if you resysnc with x-change server.
It had been described more detailed a couple of times around here.

So, nearly 4 years on (it's amazing how quickly time passes) and I still can't find a decent wireless way to do this.
Is there somewhere in the notes or extra details fields in Gmail/My Contacts to store Ringtone information? That way I can backup with Google Sync/MS Exchange.
Anyone?
Still no solution to this? ;(
I have solution.
Search in market Ringtone Keeper (or ringtone backup) and you have what we need.
I`m author, the suggestions and comments are welcome.

Hi
While im waiting for my universal to arrive (need to wait for 7th of november :-() i have been rading though this forum.
I was just wondering, now that it seems like ringtones for contacts has been integrated into the contact software, is this a HTC implementation or is it a microsoft? would the the selection sync to outlook 2003 so i wont have to set it up everytime i hard reset?

ive not tried contact ringers, but i do use the contact pictures, which does sync with oulook 2003, i shall experiment with ringers shortly
As far as I can see it does NOT sync the ringers with outlook. But maybe I am wrong.
After a hard reset I had to do them all manually.
If there is a solution for this I would be greatful.
Maybe the contacts database on the Jasjar can be backed up?

Just as i thought :-(
anyone knows if the ringetones support is integrated into wm5 or is it a htc add on?

you can store your ringtones on the root of your sd card....and can assign them to your contacts etc....thats a sly trick
so, you can preserve space on your device root....

And you think, after a hard reset, Outlook Mobile finds the ringtones where they were if they are on the storage card? Or better said: is the relation with the location synchronised/stored in the main outlook file?
When I search the Outlook fields on my PC I cannot find any field containing this information.
It is however a good advice to store them on your card because they take pretty much space.
I had the same problem on my Nokia 9500.

Ringtones on Storage Card
I used to put my rings (wma/mp3/wav) in the storage card. A problem I faced was that the Universal would sometimes need more than 5-10 seconds to wake-up/read the ring tone/play it/show the incoming-call-box.
I moved all the tones in my windows/rings folder and it is all okay now. I believe my MMC card is slow or may be it takes too much time after waking-up to power the card and read from it.
The tones are converted to smaller versions, so a 30secs ring i no more than 200-400k with good quality.

Hi,
I needed some help,
The reminder on my Wizard quite working since yesterday, NO SOUND NO VIBRATE, NO LIGHTS...etc
Can someone please help???
Thanks
cifp48
No tips yet???
Had the same problem. Sorry, couldn't solve it. Did a hard reset and now it works fine again. But of course that's not ideal...
Thanks for the reply.
did U backup your data before doing a hard reset??? How did U backup??
Thanks
Sprite Backup
I first made a backup with SPB backup. Then I only restored the contacts, not the programs (I tried that first, but then I ended up with the same problem). Obviously some program caused the reminders to stop, but I still haven't figured out which one.
One small good thing: after a hard reset and all programms installed again your device is markedly faster (for a while). Also an opportunity to upgrade the rom?
Thanks.
What ROM do U recommend?? what are the changes?? WHats the latest ROM????
gees, thats lots of Qs in 1!!!
I had same problem, but successfully solved it.
1. Clear all "calendar.exe" events in a notificatation queue with MemMaid.
2. Drop all events in a calendar folder of Outlook on desktop PC.
3. Sync with Wizard, disconnect.
4. Restore events from "deleted" folder.
5. Sync again.
Good to see that it can be solved. Hope I can find it back when it happens again.
About a new ROM: CID and SIM unlock your device and download one of the latest Qtek or Imate roms. Go to the wizard upgrading forum, or type keywords like 'rom and upgrade' in the search function of the forum on top of this webpage. The you'll get more than enough tips and tricks.
Good luck!
Hello,
i have a file called History in the main device memory and it keeps going larger and larger every day! it seems like it is a log file for every time i soft reset my JasJar. i can't delete it or rename it and the only way to open it is to copy and paste in other folder and then i can open the copy.
can anyone advise how can i delete it or disable logging events?
Regards.
Internet Explorer history perhaps? You periodically need to clear the history cache from IE if you don't want your memory to fill up. I haven't found a way to put a limit on it. It just keeps growing till the whole friggin memory is full.
hi,
thanks for your reply but this is not the case! it is stand alone file which keeps recordings a log file of each time the device reset.
i had all kinds of i-mates before but this is the first time i see this file!
Hi,
I have raised this question many months ago. I had it on my old ROM and since upgrading to the latest Orange ROM i still have it.
The answer to my old post was that it was a debugging flag that was left enabled by the ROM - so far I have been unable to find it in the registry.
The only option might be to backup your device, hard reset and when you restore from the backup see if there is an option to ignore restoring the history.txt file.
Its very annoying and before I upgraded my ROM the file was at about 750K - now its at 55k, and thats within about 2 months.
Let me know if you find anything else about it.
Matt

I have only used Sprite Backup and this does now allow selective file restoration in the root directory.
Might be worth seeing if SPB backup will give the option to be more selective.

Hi there
I am planning to to flash the hard SPL followed by Duttys ROM for the firt time so can someone explain the easiest and foolproof way to backup everythingfiles,photos,videos). I have tried to download Pim backup 2.8 but when i try to install from Total comander nothing happens.
Any help appreciated
PIMBackup should be a cab and all you need to do is double click is from your device (I think but its been a long time since I installed it as it remains on my SD).
Not sure there is a best answer.
Myself I use Pimback up of SMS and call logs.
Outlook for contacts and calendar.
Pics are sent to SD card so I always have them.
E-mail I use on my PC and not on my devices so I don't have that problem.
There are a few backup applications (SPB, Sprite) that allow you to restore after a rom flash. My theory is a new rom will have new seetings, reg keys and files, so I don't like the idea of restoring stuff I don't understamd.
Thus I go for the data only and flash clean.
It helps that I use Sashimi to reinstall my apps thus its prity much automamted.
Hope that helps
Hi!
One of the most annoying things after a flash/HR is re-setting up my e-mail-accounts. So I'm searching a way to backup only SMTP and IMAP/POP-server, usernames, passwords SSL-settings and send/recieve-schedules. The mails do not have to be saved in the backup because I'm using IMAP only. Has anybody of you out there a good and simple solution to backup these settings?
I tried SK-tools but I think this program backups "too much" for my taste. I'm not a friend of solutions like Sprite-/SPB-Backup.
I'd be really very grateful for any help!! THX in advance!!

Try Sashimi. You can use this tool for more then only mail. You can make xml's with all the settings. After a hard reset import the xmls with sashimi and done. One tip dont put the password in the xml beacuse its plain text. So when you loose youre telephone they have your password. If you put the password in the xml first time you will sync windows will ask it and give it and enable "save password". When you are usign shashimi you can also use it to install your programs. Copy files. etc
And if you want to go further you can also use it to backup files before a flash.
Hi. Thanks for your tip. I read about SASHIMI yesterday for the last time and I was about to try it anyway. Thanks again.
