Hey all i was wondering what programs there are that will allow individual ringtones to be assigned to people in the contact list?
I know photo contacts does but after the big storage hack, i dont have it any more and i'm assuming that it is within the ext_rom.
I'm happy with my new set up and dont want to go loading unnecassary programs back on to my jam.
Also i found photo contacts to be unrealiable to the point that i only had 2 contacts with assigned ringtones and they rarely played when i received calls from those 2 contacts.
Cheers in advance!

small programm that'll give you what you want.
doesnt support mp3,but i use wma,so...
Hey,
Im somewhat new to this WM6 stuff. I previously had a Sony Ericsson and when I had switched to my new Wing, I had saved all my Contacts to my SIM card and when I went to load my contacts from my SIM onto my PPC, they all look like "Norman/M; Norman/H; Norman/W" or instead of "Norman Kiwan" it would show "Kiwan;Norman" for all my contacts. It gets really annoying and I was hoping maybe some of you found a program I can use to easily edit/change my contacts on my phone... it would be extremely appreciated! thank you.

That's quite simple. Space character is not allowed in name string on SIM That's probably why you have a semicolon between the first and the last name. /M or /H are shortcuts for (M)obile or (H)ome phone number. Remember on SIM one number is always one independent record. Just save numbers to Contacts in your phone, then synchronize with Outlook. Amend contacts there and synchronize back.
ok so pretty much use outlook to change the contact's name... just gotta figure out how to do that with outlook.. ill give it a shot.
Now in terms of using MSN messenger, for some reason even if I put in the settings NOT to sync contacts it still does! and its just a huge mess seeing all these phone contacts and email contact everywhere... is there a way to get rid of those too?
thanks for the help!

Not syncing contacts means only not syncing contacts when you sync manually. but when you start messenger it syncs contact's automatically.
Contact manager..amzing and easy install
lol
I hate the way contacts are sorted on wm6 too!
Check this one out is pretty good one, actually i love it!

Haven't had problems with contacts ever since my first WM phone ( got used to it quick) but the only problem I ever had was that you couldn't delete multiple contacts at once. Tried to do this for the first time in over a few years and seems like the SIM Manager has had quite an overhaul since I've last tried to use that feature. If it were a Microsoft program I think we would still be having this program.
Thats enough ranting for now
Peace
Hi all
I copied my contacts over from my sim but now am left with 2 sets of contacts how do i get ride of the sim contacts(can i use shcapps)
Thanks
Robert
Double, triple contacts are caused by outlook.In sinchronizations settings on PC u have to make update items on pc, not pda.Something like that. I dont use that by myself. Hope u will fix it.
U can use schaps for sim contacts.
Use the SIM Manager that is in Programs (can also be accessed from within Contacts). That should allow you to delete contacts from the SIM card quickly.
Thanks
Used shcapps tool to get rid of them

Hey I have some questions so I thought I might collect them all in the same thread =)
1) Any SMS replacement/software that will make the SMS-threading a bit more similar to iPhone? When I saw my mates iPhone I was very enticed by the look and feel of the threaded bubbles approach.
2) Some better guide to WIFI? And some better WIFI manager application. I need/want my phone to roam between different WIFIs with different settings. My work WIFI gives a proxy, my homewifi dont, most cafe WIFI doesnt use proxy either. I also want to make sure that my GRPS/3g is never accessed without explicit approval. Whenever I try to go to start -> settings -> connections I only find setups for modems(GRPS) etc. Never any good way to specify wireless, profiles and so forth.
3) Improve GPS. Right now (when I have internett at all on it) the position is off by ~50-100 meters.
4) Reverse GPS. I would like my phone to transfer GPS-information to a server (eg. via webservice or similar) so I can track my phone if it's stolen/lost. Not even sure this is possible but I would think it is.
5) Exporting numbers from a Nokia N95 -> Touch HD. I have synched all my numbers with my provider but it turns out they don't support HTC yet for synchronization (burn!!!!) and my simcard only supports 400numbers, not to mention I only found ways to copy 1 and 1 contact to simcard. I need a way to move larger amount of numbers (up towards a thousand) easily from an N95 to a Touch HD.
Best regards

I remember there was a software for a glofiish phone, that sent GPS position as sms to number specified if pin/security key(or smth like that) is entered incorrectly. I'm also searching for smth like this for HD.

for the number 5:
the better way is to use MSOutlook, you syncronize it with nokia pc suite, then with active sync you syncronize your HD and voilà.

Ah yea I could try that =) Is there anyway to prevent activesync at spesific locations from synching numbers into outlook though? I have large amount of private numbers I do not want synched into my outlook at work, nor do I want worknumbers to be synched into phone automaticly since I really don't want to end up accidentaly calling or texting people from work (even worse my bosses) drunk at 5 in the morning =)
I also tried mJustice now and got it to work half. +m to popup messagebox worked, locationcall.exe I have no idea what does, +g for gps did not work. Might be because Im sending text from same phone as Ive installed it?!
Best regards

If you haven't found a solution yet, this is what I did when I moved from N95 to HD:
- In Outlook, go to contacts and create a new contacts folder. Move the contacts from the "main folder" to the new one. Your main contacts folder should be empty.
- Sync the N95 with Outlook. PC Suite allows you to choose the outlook folder you want to sync to, but ActiveSync doesn't . This is why you need to go through the first step.
- Sync the HD with Outlook. (see note below)
- IN outlook, delete the contacts from the main folder.
- Move the contacts back from the folder you created in the first step to the main folder.
- If you're done, to make sure that the contacts are not sync'ed again, disable contact sync in ActiveSync.
NOTE: the first time I sync'ed the HD with outlook, instead of copying all the contacts from outlook to the HD, it deleted all the contacts from outlook! It seemed that the sync process "believed" that the version on the phone was newer than Outlook's. To prevent this:
- When the n95 contacts are copied to outlook, create a new folder to back them up. If the main contact folder is emptied, then copy the contents from the "backup" folder back to the main folder.
