Evening,
Just finished setting up my arc,s with JJ rom, and was very pleased with the way it operates, using arcknight oc kernal. Only one problem that i cant seem to get over is that i cant keep contact assigned ringtones to hold to the contact.
What i mean is i can assign it and then if the phone does not sleep it will use the ringtone i have assigned for that contact, however once the phone goes to sleep, the same contact ringing in will ring with the default ringtone.
I have made the mp3 i have always used for ringtones into ogg and pushed them in the system media folder instead of just putting them in a media/audio/ringtone folder on my sdcard but the problem still persists. Anyone have any thoughts what i need to do to get this problem fixed ?
Much appreciated
Ps not at ten posts so cant post this to the actual rom thread. Apologies to the thread police before the get called.

Hi guys, i am new to this forum and after going through some of the threads i can say that this is a gr8 forum to find help regarding ppc phones. Hence, I hope that someone could solve the problem i have been having with my sms ringtone.
I just bought an Imate Jamin a week back and i am definitely loving it. Anyways, the first thing i did, is make a few custom incoming call and sms ringtones and set it up on my device. Now the incoming call ringtones are working as usual but the sms ringtones have a problem. A particular sms ringtone is around 15-20 secs long, and when i recieve a new sms, the ringtone keeps playin even after opening a new sms and also after closing it.
As far as i know from previous experience, the ringtone should stop playing once i have pressed the appropriate button to open the sms. My friends are using the same sms ringtones on their nokia and motorolla phones but they dont have such problems. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be.
I can't answer you this question but have a request: do you have some nice sms ringtones to share with me??
I would appreciate....
Thanks!
Yeah sure man. I 'll give you the one i am using at the moment. However, the ringtone is in wav format and i cant seem to upload wav files on this site. You might have to give me your email add or if you know a better way to send the files to you pls let me know.
Also if you want some really cool ringtones and other stuff, go and take a look at this site http://homesite.mobile9.com/
Thanks for the site! I sent you a private message with my e-mail.
All the best to you & New Zealand!
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
I wanna change the sound, informing when SMS/MMS comes in.
What should I do for this?
+1 for this. I tried dropping mp3 and WAVs into the Rings folder but they don't appear for message notifications just ringtones.
I haven't tried this, but could you rename your own .wav file to the name of one of the pre-set alarm tones that you don't use, then select it for your SMS alert?
MP3s go in the root Windows directory, they then appear in the SMS list...I have a movie sample as my SMS tone
Brilliant....thanks a lot. Works a treat!
You can also place sound files in the my documents root folder on your sd card. That helps to keep more space free on your phone. This took me quite a while to figure, too. Because I also started experimenting with the windows/rings folder without success

I've just read this thread as I wondered also how to use my personal SMS tones and couldn't figure a way.
I was initially going to put it in Windows root as a PP suggested but followed the advice of another PP who suggested My Documents root on the Storage Card.
Well... originally I had a choice of 7 message tones and after I plonked my chosen tone in the My Documents root, I went back to the message tones to select it and... as well as mine, loads more appeared that weren't there before! Like my doing there seemed to unlock/release more to choose from.
Hey, I'm not grumbling, I'm just like How did that happen?
Hopefully this won't turn out to be a bad thing
Ive figured out how..but..
ok thanks for the root insight. I was curious though if there is a way to keep them in a folder and not just in the root folder. I like to keep my sd cards clean and organized.
Hmmm I also have had problems with this, i have my text message alert i want to use and have dropped it into the my document folder on the storage card, but still can't see it to set it!!!
Any ideas please?
Ahhh it's OK, unplugged the phone, went back to main menu then tried it...I see it now
Thanks
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?
although I defined all alert sounds (sms, email. missed calls etc.) to give an alert still when I receive any of the above the phone is silent. need to mention that I chose a different alert than the default (different sound)
any ideas?

Hello!
I have had the same problem after I updated to the next available rom provided by HTC.
I have tried several things and experimented with the different sound formats.
I noticed that I still got a sound alert in standby mode for my mail account and wondered why I didn't get the same for my sms.
Like you I customized my sounds with soundfiles from the internet (like effects and stuff that I copied directly to the \windows\rings directory .) And I noticed a big difference between the sound I used for sms (WAV) and the sound I used for mail (mp3).
So just for the fun of it I tried converting my WAV file to Mp3 because I couldn't find the same sound file in that format.
And what do you know... problem solved...
I yet again recieve sound notification in standby mode for sms.
I don't know if this is something that occures due to the upgraded rom but it works for me.
Maybe it's an idea you'd like to try. I was very frustrated by this problem and spent an entire evening on trying to fix it. So I have invested a lot of time.
Maybe it helps you to.
Goodluck,
Joey
solved by upgrading rom
the opposite happened to me when i upgraded the rom and now the defualt sounds are playing for everything.
so what I do is just leave the default sound and won't choose other sounds since i dont know if itll remain ok or itll go mute again and I don't fell like hard reseting again...
thanks anyway for your help - I'll remember your offer if ill need it
and by the way, mp3 ringtones that i added are working fine..
check out the new update on HTC's site it is specifically for this problem!
