Ring tone Profiles like nokia

Hello all,
Does anyone know if there is a program that allows you to set various ring profiles like on the nokia phones. This is a very useful and quick way of changing ring settings. :roll:

Hi,
I use phone alarm from pocketmax and have done for about 6 months. I think it works perfectly especially when getting on a flight.

Hope that helps,

Or try PocketZenPhone, it's much easier that PocketAlarm.

Try PocketZenPhone, is the better!!

Have to say originally I tried - ok 6 months ago - PocketZenPhone and didn't like it. It hung alot and just didn't integrate well. Haven't tried the newer version.
Phone alarm though I like for the following reasons:
1. Allows MP3 SMS tones
2. Repeating alarms (like Motorola) to avoid missing alarms
3. Integration with WebIS mail
4. Integration into Today screen
5. Skins
6. GPRS settings
7. General notification settings
It seems to do what PocketZenPhone does and more. Just my opinion though

Here you go!
Hi mates,
I have spent several days looking for a phone profiler (ala Nokia) as much simple as possible... no whistles and bells, no bloatware... just profiles.
I miserably failed!
So I decided to develop myself a software solution to accomplish this simple task.
I am so happy with it that I have decided to share it with you.
It is completely FREE. Take it as it is, of course!
I've been using it for several weeks now, and could not experience any failures. Nonetheless there could be bugs or malfunctionings I would be glad to fix if you let me know.
My "Phone Profiles" includes a control panel Applet to change your settings and a Today Item plugin to easily select or change the current profile.
Just select the today item, tap-n-hold (or hold the action button down) to display a popup menu with your profiles.
For all the CLaunch lovers, it also possible to activate a given profile from a command line using the following sintax:
ctlpnl.exe profiler.cpl, n, 1
where n is the profile number. Change 1 to 0 if you want just to edit the profile's settings.
This software has been tested on WM2003SE Phone Edition only.
That's all, I guess.
Enjoy.

UPDATED: Looks like it does not work properly if compiled with VS2005. Recompiled with eVC4. Please re-download. Sorry.

Pocket Zen Phone can be found at http://zendrui.free.fr/ :wink:

@TheBrit
Do you mean you didn't like mine ?

@slvrbllt - does your profiler work on WM5 - I have a universal and am interested to know if it works on that. I can't test it on it tho just now cuz it's away for repair

@NinjaDonkey:
Nope, buddy.
As far as I know it doesn't work (yet) on WM5, since I use API calls that require the code to be signed. I am currently working on a new version that is supposed to be running on WM5 as well... stay tuned.

I'm sure yours is just fine.
I've been using PZP for a while now and it really does the trick. It not only profiles ring tones but lots of other settings too. 8)

...and here is the ITALIAN version many of you have requested.
Cheers.

hi! i'm a new magician user. may i ask how will I install your Profiler to my phone?

Try PocketZenPhone or PhoneAlarm
Those 2 should be the best in the market now
I just try both of them as of late
And I must say I choose PhoneAlarm better than PZP, PZP is a little slow and would hang once in a while
Plus PhoneAlarm got more feature like billing info, better skining...ext

@Silver Bullet: Could you post some screenshots please?
Greetings,
BGK

PZP has full instuctions here: http://zendrui.free.fr/

Hi,
I just downloaded and installed your little program on my Magician, and I am seriously impressed! The Today DLL is a mere 12k, and everything works flawlessly so far!
Great job - thanks a lot!
Would you allow me a few comments, in no particular order?
- your program needs a name.
- the GPRS problem that PZP has seems to not exist in your program - well done! I'm almost convinced to switch...
- this thread here is about the three existing profiles programs. Could we have a separate thread for your program?
- would you care to comment how you manage to switch on/off Bluetooth? I remember that for Zendrui this was not easy to implement. Does your program also handle Widcomm stacks?
- I would be interested in a German version, and if you send me a string table, I'd be more than happy to to provide German translations.
- one wish: I certainly do not want all of the settings PZP offers, but there are a few I do miss:
-- setting the volume for system sounds. There are situations where any sound is unacceptable, even the beeps when tapping.
-- set the backlight time-out. For example, when I navigate, I do not want the backlight to turn off at all.
-- backlight level independently for battery and charging mode.
Yes, I know that this already sounds like beginning featuritis. But afaik all these settings are simple registry entries, so should not bloat the code. Trying to put this into the UI may be a bit tricky. Well, just my personal wishes - feel free to ignore if you disagree.
Overall, I find it a really well-done little program. Thanks a lot again!
Cheers
Daniel

In my opinion the best is Profiler :lol: Very simple and friendly program.

Timed Profiles

Hi, I'm hoping that someone's going to know how to do this..
On my old S60 Nokia I could set up timed profiles and zoned profiles.
The timed profiles was useful as it meant the phone would automatically turn to a "silent/vibrate" mode between a certain time, like late night/early morning, and then automatically change back in the morning.
The Zoned profiles meant, that when I was in the office the phone would automatically set to quiet, then when I walked out would go to loud, by use of mobile tranmitters, not GPS, but either would be great!
Does anyone know whether there is an application that would work with WM5 on the Uni that can do this? Or even just Timed Profiles... Or even Profiles PERIOD!!!
Cheers and best regards!!!!

Take a look at www.s-k-tools.com and SKSchema which does not do all you want but it has the basis and the author is very helpful if you ask for extra features.
regards cjb

Any one would be PhoneAlarm which supports timed profile.

Cheers I'll have a look at both of those. They the only ones?
Regards.

Hi,
PhoneAlarm (Current Latest Version 1.31) supports both timed profiles as well as zoned profiles.

Hi, I can see the bit for the zoned profiles, where you go to location bit.
But I can't find out how to add zones Any ideas?? :-s

Hi,
PocketZenPhone is better for what you want to do... Changing profiles on time, calendar...outlook...

Hi,
I've tried PhoneAlarm and PPCProfiles, but they've both got some problems :-(
PhoneAlarm did something but for the life of me I can't remember what It was annoying and needed a hardreset I know that!
PPCProfiles messes with my Ringtones, it conflicts with the Phone and Notifications options in the Control Panel :-(
I can't find a demo of PocketZen, all the links get me to 404 errors :-/
Is there anything else? What I want is so that between 0800 and 2200 Mon - Fri and 0900 - 2000 Sat and Sun my phone rings as normal, but other times the ringer is automatically turned off (leaving alarms to sound as normal)
Any ideas?
Cheers.

free alternative to phoneAlarm?

Hi,
Im just looking for a simple app to create/switch profiles on my 8525, to just set different preset values for notification sounds and volumes. PhoneAlarm is good, but i dont need all the stuff it offers as a today plugin, i just need profile switching.
Are there any freeware apps for this?
Thanks!

Modaco PPCProfiles-Pro

Yes, I would love a repeating notification reminder like PhneAlarm has but just refuse to have all the other rubbish it comes with - don't need Today plugin or skins, or profiles or even multiple sounds (just a beep once a minute will do me fine).
Alas, I have been looking for weeks and can find nothing.
Some that look promising, trun out not to work in sleep mode which I believe is the big problem. If you have to wake the OS constantly to create the sound it uses lots of battery power.
But maybe someone will come up with something eventually... even if it is MS and the OEMs.

An alternative i previously used before PA was PocketZenPhone you can use a today plugin or a simple tray app, which is what sounds like you need.
Works really well, im not sure if its free or not but it does the business. The only reason i switched to PA was because i wanted profile switching based on GSM CellID (which i had on my old Sony Ericsson P900 with "Magic Profiles Pro").
But it is good, and a tidy app rather thana brightly skinned today plugin.

PocketZENphone not free anymore
...sorry, you got to pay for Version 6 now...

I use PocketZenPhone, yes you do have to pay for it, but there is a 15 day trial use.
I did use Phone Alarm but changed for the same reason, it did too much for what I wanted.
All I can say about PocketZenPhone is that it does a vary good job of being able to set up different profiles.
I have it set up as Silent, Quiet, Normal, Loud and Car.
Makes changing volume level, ring tones, message tones a doddle.
I recommend it.

That app doesn't offer the repeating alarms.

PhoneAlarm but guzzles power flashlight ... Do you know someone on the program as good, but so immature like a flashlight?

x1 profiles ?

what are you guys using for switching profiles ?
i'm looking for a basic profiles app along thelines of ppcprofiles or phoneweaver.
unfortunately, i cannot seem to get phoneweaver to work at all - changing profiles says that the notification has changed but it never does.
is anyone else having this problem or should i blame it all on tf3d ?
thanks in advance

I always use the SPB movile shell and want more profiles too!

you could use spb phone suite. it works but imho it takes up too much place on the today screen.

i did try that and i agree - it's far too complex !
have decided upon a hard reset and retrying phoneweaver :-(

Hi there all,
you could use the Touch HD\ HTC profile manager. It can be found under the Xperia Programs, Panels and tweaks section for the Xperia. I was also looking for the same thing a while back, and found that.
hope that helps!

Can you post a link please? I can't find it and neither can the search engine.
At the moment I use SPB Phone Suite and it integrates into the Mobile Shell panel, if you don't like it on your today screen.

Sorry, my mistake... first post! Link Contained.
Here is the link to the whole thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
the section your after is under Touch HD utils its called volume control
Regards
Winmowgster

I dont think we are talking about the same thing? ... the volume control is just a new skin for setting the volume right? .. I think with profiles we mean like they are used in nokia phones where depending on your selected profile u ve a different ringtone, volume, message tone etc. ?
cause I d find something like this really useful .. at the moment I cant even figure out how to change the tone of when I receive a text message.

Looking at the Original Poster's request, I suggested a solution, which I thought fits the bill pretty well.
If you want to switch between silent, ring and vibrate then this does the job.
having read the request again, and googling the programs that mrdo tried, i see that i may have made a mistake. :S

The SPB Phone Suite is awesome! Well worth the dosh! Have as many profiles as you want plus automatic time or event based profile switching.

thanks for your input. i do have the touchstone volume control installed and it's very handy but i am looking for something that will allow me to switch ringtones, alerts and volumes at the touch of a button.
after a hard reset and yet another reinstall of my apps, phoneweaver still doesn't work. grrr and double grrr.

mrdo, what is the problem specifically? Is there an error on the device or do you start the application but nothing of significance appears?
I briefly tried phoneweaver and had the latter problem. Couldnt figure out whether it was running or not.
In the end I ended up giving up and going for the Touch HD simple profile manager.

I don't find HTC profile manager in that thread, can u post the direct link?

sound profiles?

is there a way to set different sounds for different sound profiles i.e. new txt alert is silent within the silent profile but I would like a noise when the phones set to normal?
I have tried setting this in the sound settings but if I turn 'play sound' off when phones set to silent it seems to do the same thing when i change to normal mode. must be a way to change this but cant seem to work it out?
thanks for any help.

Anyone? Someone must know the answer to this?

Hi,
maybe something like:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en

or maybe a free Version:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1162

I use PhoneWeaver and it s for me the best
http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/phoneweaver

Does those Apps also work under TF3D? I suggest they only work on the normal today screen as an Today Plugin... so what about a working Profile switcher under TF3D?

Sure ... it works fine.
You just have to install "Second Tody" and here we go.

I'd love a similar app which can also change things like, how often new mail is checked for, wether BT should be on, WiFi etc. Is such an app out there?

PhoneAlarm is what you're looking for.
Go to PocketMax.net
Absolutely brilliant application! Controls just about everything
(and will work with or without Second Today)

Okay, this does look quite cool. I have it installed... but how do I select a profile? How do I run it without second today?

But how can i make a second today?

I am also interested in this, I am trying to edit Silent Mode, when it rings I want to replace the silence with a "beep.mp3" so it just beeps any ideas?

Get PHONEWEAVER.
