Hey all, I bought HD2 a few days ago.
Still learning the WM stuff.
Contacts
I can't make contacts with many characters cus it's on the SIM, how do I transfer all contacts to my phone?
Ringtones
How I put my own ringtones?
Cus I saw that there's only built tones and u can't edit them or add my own.
Startup
One more thing, how can I make startup for apps that I want to be loading when turn-on mobile?
Thanks for the help, Ziv.
If u have the contacts only on your sim, u have to edit them(first copy them from sim to phone via sim manager)
U can put your own ringtone to your storage card/my documents/my ringtones
if u have to change the ringtones for sms, u need to copy them to windows folder

I've done it already, "Save to Phone" option.
but still I can't rename my contacts if the name is too long.
u are probably trying to rename the contacts on your sim, u have to rename the ones that are stored on your phone

User manual, this unknown tool... ;-)
In the contact list MENU > SHOW > ALL/CONTACTS/SIM
I dont have my Leo here, but when u open the contact app, every contact has an icon on the left side, and sim contacts have different icon than contacts on the phone. U can hide the sim contacts via bsb tweak application.

well, I done it but just the BattClock works.

keyboards dont work like other programs, u need to set it in sip options. Tap the right side of the keyboard icon on the bottom bar, a menu should pop up and there u should choose keyboard u want to use

I put it into the \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones.
and the SMS ringtones I put it into \Storage Card\Windows\SMS not working.

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
Hi All!!
I have a little problem.
I don´t want my sim contact showing in phonebook.
( I get double post of contacts in phonebook becuse I allready have phonecontacts showing).
How do I disable sim contacts from showing in phonebook??
Have tryed Advanced config to disable sim contacts, but after it resets the phone the task have not been saved. I dont know why.
There must be a way to disable them throu windows.
Thanks for all your help

welcome to this forum
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
and yeah next time use search botton
i'm using DiamondTweak and there is an option 16.1 sim contacts, where you can choose to hide them. that works for me.
edit: i just noticed this option will be reset after you do a soft reset
I use mortscript for that. It's a tiny script that executes after each soft reset and disables the sim contacts in my contact list. I already posted that somewhere here on the forum how to do that. Please do a search on mortscript + hidesim.mscr and you will find it.
EDIT: read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2486985&postcount=2
or use the cab file in the last post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2486985#post2486985
Exactly NikiSimFix.CAB works great!
Thanks for helping me
Installed NikiSimFix.CAB and everything is great.
That simply doesn´t work for me puting the "showsim" option.
I´ve only made it with sktools, but after a softreset it´s there again.
sktools doesn´t insert the showsim either. I´m clueless where it is disabling this
Edit: forget it! my bad. Was checking on HLM.
i wonder if there is a way to add more ringtones for SMS? because i can only use my mp3's or other sound effects for calls.
thanks!

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
I tried searching for hours. When you go to write a new sms you click on the avatar icon in top right corner to choose your contacts for the sms. It shows both phone contacts and sim contacts. I just want to view phone contacts to choose from.
I have my phone set to view only contacts from phone. I even tried this registry edit HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone -> ShowSIM=0
I know that BSB tweaks has an option to hide sim but I suspect it doesnt hide sim contacts for sms also. I try and stay away from these tweaking programs as much as possible and do everything with registry or small cab mods.
Is there a way to hide these sim contacts for sms?
I make backup and deleted contacts from sim card.
i'm also facing this problem =.= many of my sms (conversation mode) shows the SIM sign instead of the picture/photo integrated wif my phone contact. And I want to keep my SIM contact as well in case of emergency so i cnt do what deserted did :/
Seems to be a simple issue that just doesnt have a solution other than deleting the contacts on the sim card.
BSB tweaks does not fix this issue either.
Anybody know how to do this? I just can't believe that deleting is the only solution.
SOS
I need the solution too, anybody?=??
try app: XDA SIMShowHide

Contacts -> Menu -> View -> Is for Contacts, but I have acctualy never had contacts on my SIM card, so I have no idea if it works for SMS...

Works for me.
Then you are the only one. Sim contacts are still shown on mine. For the contacts page it does work. But go to messages and the sim contacts are still showing there.
we most definietly need a small cab or tweak for this...
i mean.. compared to all the other amazing stuff you developers end up doing.. this should be a walk in the park..... do we have any takers... i also can't imagine it taking that long either...
before you say it...
if i was talented enough or knowledgable in that depoartment.. i would be making crazy cabs for this community left and right.. but unfortunately.. i can't.. my talents lie elsewhere... so please.. can someone just resolve this issue???
