You could at least search before posting a question
Google: assign sms tone contact => mRing?

I have mRing and it works... sort of. It has to be active in order to work of course and it is a bit heavy for TyTn... but it works nonetheless...

Well, I found MRing, but first I'd though it was for Palm OS only. Allthough it installes fine on my Qtek8500, but MRing screen relolution is to big for my phone Otherwise it was a very nice utility

is there only phonealarm?

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 )...
yup, PhoneAlam for me

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?

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.

All you need to do is go to your contacts, tap on the contact, click menu, tap edit. Find ring tone on the long list of options,tap where it says ring tone, select one from the pop-up. This same procedure is used for assigning pictures to contacts, also.
Here's a screen shot of the page you need to be on.
I think he is talking about assigning ringtones to "private numbers" and not the ones already in his contacts!
Simple solution

When you get one of the calls, Private Name, Private Number...just add it to your contacts, then set a ringtone for it.
Simple solution.

It may be a complete shot in the dark, but have you tried adding a registry entry for "UnknownCaller"?? e.g.
Code:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/[b]Unknown[/b]CallerRing0/
You might need a soft reset or power off to force that key to be re-read by the phone service (Cprog.exe)....
Give it a try, what's the worst that can happen
Mark.
u could go 3rd party and use something like photo contacts pro

No SMS Notification WM6.1 Workaround

To those who disabled the Conversation Style in WM6.1
i.e. those who edited their registry to SMSAvailable = 0
some drawback of it is the loss of alert of incoming SMS.
install third party software.
my suggestion is
Electric Pocket Ringo
it's a commercial software.
i never suffered from lacking SMS alert.

I have no 3rd party alert software and I have never suffered from a missed SMS alert either. I guess it all depends on which ROM you have installed.
sorry, i forgot the cause....
i was talking about those who disabled the chat-like style of SMS... via registry entry SMSAvailable = 0
it sometimes disables the alert for incoming SMSs..
will update my post.
chat-like style rules!!
i like the chat-like style. it reduces and narrows down all ur messages in a conversation with the same person, so u don't have to scroll down further to look for message/s sent by the same person. well yeah u have to scroll thru the entire conversation if u wanna look for specific details, but its alot easier, i guess?

Check this previous post of mine, it seems to have helped the member that I replied to quite well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1987977&postcount=156
this is how to disable thread mode without lose notification
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g=0
Now that would be the FIX not the workaround...
and since it's FIXed you dont have to follow my suggestion. haha...
ok... another one bites the dust... and that's me
happy developing!
hi,
i get some missed sms alerts - not always - maybe 50% of time - but ive not altered any reg settings :/ any ideas?
thanks
This needs to be stickied - it's fixed the problem for me!
Might be worthwhile releasing it as a CAB file for those unwilling to edit the registry themselves?
PS: This problem also occurs in the Shadow 2.1 ROM after disabling threaded messaging

Select ... Event:Messaging: New text message on DROPDOWN->
Uncheck "Display message on screen"

Solution found!
All these hints did not work for me!
Now i have found a solution: you just need to install "InboxTones" from qorefunctions.com.
In this application you can choose a notification-tone. After you have done this, everything works fine!

[APP] [REQUEST] Callers groups ringtones

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
Maybe I found something interesting:

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.
