[HELP] Ringo doesnt ring properly!!

hi!
i am using ringo to assign indvidual tones to my contacts but i have a problem..sometimes when my phone rings i hear a very low ringtone..infact most of the time. its not for a specific caller but for almost all..as i have just assigned 2 tones to 2 callers..(tried removing them also..still problem exists) Tried re-installing still no use..i hope this doesnt have anything to do with WA and WAD..or tweaks2k2.net
Please help..

wm5 has its own contact ringtone program inbuilt, why use another non tested program?
I can only presume that you dont have a universal and are therefor posting in the wrong area.

Fire Butice, i do know that window has its own ringtone assigning program but i am using this software basicaly to assign individual SMS TONES.. n hence use this utility for contacts also..

any 1 facing the same problem..please help..

do not use Ringo...
try photocontacts or Mort Ring...

Do the ring tones you want to use work OK in Media Player.
I have a similar problem with my O2 XDA Exec and someone told me to run the following cab file in the extended rom and this fixed it perfectly.
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB

Yes, they do..so downloading this cab file would solve the problem. Ill try it then.. BTW where can i find this cab file?
thanks..

My problem is when assign mp3 tone for sms, it dont play the whole song... only like 3-5 seconds... why?

changing sms tones?

hi could anyone help me please ive searched for days for a program that will let me use my own wav files for sms alert. ive changed where there stored on my phone and sd card all to no avail! ive a program to use mp3 as ringtones called ringtone manager that i got from a post on this forum and this works fine but i carnt find anythig similar for my sms tones. ive a xda mini s running mw5, can anyone help me please!? thanks in advance of ur help.

Wave files should work for sms's in WM5 if you put them in the Windows folder.

success!!!! id read before that only wav files could be used be for sms tones, so after re-reading the threads on here i was still stumped as to why none of the wavs id got on my wizard would work. during a chat and comparing phones break at work today, a mate had a funny wav he was using for his sms on his nokia, he bluetoothed it to me and i thought id try following ur advice one last time, and ureaka! it worked!!!!! id copyed the folder of "wavs" i was using stright off my old phones sd card, id not relised that they were mp3 format.(i swear i thought they were wav!) it was then i noticed in the folder in my wizard the icon was different on my new sms tone, it was a media player icon where as the icon on all others was i mini mp icon in the corner of a white rectangle. is there a list of icons to file types anywhere? oh and thanks to xon1 for ur post, carnt belive i was so stupid as not to double chech my file format!!!

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

Buy or Download Ringo Pro or Lite, I use it for my SMS tones so i know if its worth goin to my phone or not haha.

Add a 'notifications' folder to your memory card.
Copy the tones you want to the folder.
They should then be visible in email, calendar, sms tone settings.

@CodeMonkey
at first i put 'Notifications' but didn't worked out, LOL i thought my magic wont have any problems recognizing 'Notifications' and 'notifications'
it needed to be all small letters to work AND ALSO the 'notifications' folder must be inside the 'Music' folder of your card.
Thanks alot CodeMonkey you ARE my HERO =p
btw i can't forward messages sent to me to my other friends,
also there is no inbox, outbox,sent messages etc.
SMS in magic is like a chat...

Thanks heaps, was just trying to figure out how to do this!! Didn;t need to put notifications in music though, just straight on the sdcard and it worked a charm.
Thanks!

Open your message and do a long press, this will bring up the menu to forward your messages. This applies to the stock Message app and chompSMS.

@aniriand
my bad dude, yes you it also works even if the folder is not inside the 'Music' folder
@BigRD
Thanks dude for that one oh men im really loving this phone

Note that you can do the same for alarm tones with a folder called alarms (on the root of the card) and ringtones (with a folder called ringtones).

download rings extended from the market... it easy to use

@whitechocolate
i dont have android market on my phone, just slideme
and i think making folders is better than installing apps
@CodeMonkey thanks for that another useful info ^_^

were not allowed to post warez on here but hopefully i can do this...

its a free app so shouldnt be deleted

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?
