Is there a way to make HD2 ring for a certain contacts even in Silent Mode? - HD2 General

Hi Friends
Well,i would love to have my HD2 have this feature as i dont want to miss calls from certain very important persons in my life....any one knows a way 2 do this?

you can set 1 ringtone per contact actually. or group your contacts and set ringtone per group. all native alread in windows.
so instead of silent mode you set a default ring of something silent or a mere ping and then set up the contacts you want to hear with their own or a group ringtone.
at least the ringtone/group option is available under 6.5.x winmob versions

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category?

Is there a way to assign ringtones based on category with the HTC Wizard (IE: Friends get ring1, family gets ring2, business gets ring3, etc.)? I have found a way to assign the ringtone for each specific contact, but that can be a pain when you have a large number of contacts.
Thanks in advance,
You can do that with Photo Contact Pro!
I don't think it is possible in default WM5
Doesn't mortring do that, free?

How did you do that?
shdwphnx, How did you assign ringtones by contacts?
Thanks

Edit your contact, and scroll down about 75% of the screen - there is a Ringtone option there. At least there is on my US T-Mobile MDA.
BTW, which field is used in Outlook for Ringtone? Perhaps it would be easier to assign the ringtone on PC and then sync it?

I just found Mortring, and it is unfortunately currently not compatible with WM5.

As far as I have been able to determine, the Ringtone field is not transferred to Outlook on the PC.
Hopefully Mort will update his program, or someone else will release something similar for a reasonable price. (I found a few such as Photo Contacts Pro, but they all have lots of features I don't need, and am not willing to pay for).
There is a nice app that does excactly that, i've tried it out on my k-jam and worked very well, assigning ringtones to groups and even sms tones to groups or individual contacts and still keeping the default sms notification tone!
However (there always are howevers)
Before installing the app, when i would receive an incoming call and just wanted to silence the ringer, not reject the call i'd simply slide the volume button up or down and the ring would stop.
After installing it i could no longer silence a call by the volume button, therefore my only options where to answer it or reject it.
I contacted their support team and was told that it's not possible to silence the ringer as the app's ringer is controlled by the system volume, not the phone volume..
If you're quite happy not having the option to silence the ringer of an incoming call, then i recommend trying this app.

Open it and change it.... or change your time 12 hours backward or change between AM and PM
Yes I can do this, but i will like to know if it is possible that by default birthdays reminder are not full day but from 12 to 14!!!
or is there a way to disable reminder audio?
you can
you can open the birthday and adjust it to a period...
and you can set it to silent too. Two volumes, one for the Phone function and one for PDA (alarm and PDA functions).

[APP] [REQUEST] Callers groups ringtones

Hi people, I've an HTC TP2, and I was trying to set a ringtone for a callers group. I've seen there's not this capability...
Is there a software that can do it?
tnx in advance, Giovanni
+1
I need this also, or at least - on my treo 700wx with WM5 and treo pro WM6.1 I had known and unknown caller rings
I use Pocket Informant and it allows you to assign ringtones to groups by filtering your contacts via category, then selecting all contacts and assigning a ringtone to them all.
It's a handful of clicks but I don't do it every day so find it quite useful
Beh, I could try to develop it... Anyone wants to help me is welcome!
Do you know where contacts are stored?

Search for MortRing. I've been using it since my Prophet days...
In TP2, TF3D needs to be disabled to find the icon in home... I didn't understand also where to add categories...
Is there something more update?
tnx
Maybe I found something interesting:

Yes, initially when u set up mort-ring, you have to disable tf3d. categories are defined in your contacts list. If you set "A" as family, "B" as work etc, it'll appear in mortring.
After you set up mortring, you don't have to touch it anymore. It'll run in the background hidden behind tf3d

Unfortunately, it's not free...
you can assign specific rings tones for specific contacts as a built-in feature.. but i am not sure about the call groups

Fortunately, Tone Manager is You can use it to assign a ringtone to all entries belong to a Category.
To set a contact to Category on TP2, you need to edit your traditional Windows Mobile Contacts and not your TF3D interface. The most direct way is by:
Start > All Programs > Contacts
Note you can assign a contact to more than one category.
If you have opened your entry using address book from People tab, you can access Contacts by clicking "More" at the bottom of the entry.
An alternative is to your Contacts in Microsoft Outlook on your computer, then sync it back to the device.
hi
Freeware vipringtone does this job excellently, category, individual contact ringtones etc,. Just a search away from you. if you couldn't locate it, send me msg and I'll post the cab. Been using it since WM5 to WM6.5 works fine.

ringtone per contact

Hi
Is that possible to assign different ringtone to each contact?
There's an option to assign a ringtone inside a contact person page, however when that person calls, the ringtone that rings is not that specific ringtone I assigned to that person, but it's the ringtone that I set in the Sound setting rings instead.
Is there a way to make that works?
thanks

If you use a contact manager like resco contact manager it will work.

SMS ringtone?

Where is the setting to change ringtone for the received SMS?
I don't see any such setting in the (stock) SMS app, and in global Settings/Sounds, there are only options to set ringtone for calls, alarm, events and notification - none of them corresponds to SMS
MIUI 11.0.4.0 QFJEUXM Global Stable
Good one
Go to settings, sound and vibration, there you have 4 rectangles at the very top, right bottom is notification tile, so you know what to do

Hmm ok, but that means SMS must share the same tune as any other notification (excl. calls, alarms and calendar events). Pretty bad design from Xiaomi
Besides, this is a dual SIM phone, hence expected to be able to define different 'ringtones' for SMSes received over different SIM cards (fortunately, ringtones for calls can be distinguished per SIM channels)
Dude, do you even went through settings or used search in settings?
You can set specific ringtone to every contact and you also can go to settings, notifications where you have every app with possibility to set specific notification and ringtone

Dude, I don't want to set different ringtone for every contact, but simply want to distinguish from which SIM channel did SMS come.
I will be very grateful if you show me where is that in the MiUi Settings.
And I know that eg WhatsApp and similar apps can set their own, different tumes (to distinguish from default notification - but this is not thanks to MIUI or XiaomiI, but thanks to those apps and their developers themselves.
Found it, it is possible to define different ringtones for SMS received via SIM 1 and SIM 2, by using Setedit app and by changing the values for:
sms_received_sound_slot_1
sms_received_sound_slot_2
in the System Table
