Is there any way how to assign specific ringtones to some of mine contacts? Even my old Motorola had this feature very useful specificaly for the people who need to be accesible by some of their contacts all the time, but can call back most of the callers later.

You can assign ringtones to contacts stored in the phone. You cannot assign them to contacts on the SIM.

How will you do that? I have no such option in menu in Contacts?
after the contact is saved, you will see the option to set a ringtone for them under their mobile phone number when editing the contact form.

Go into contacts, highlight the name, click on Menu > Edit. If the contact is stored on the phone and not on the sim, you should see "Ring tone:" under "Mobile Tel:"
Got it it.
Sorry it was stupid question, but I overlooked it always when I was checking settings. Sometimes we just need somebody to open our eyes.
Thank you.

It's no big thing. We all miss stuff sometimes.
Look at vipRingtone
I think this is what you are looking for located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328560
You could try Ringo, it allows you to use mp3s and assign to individuals and your outlook group categories. You can do the same with SMS notifications.
to be honest, i'm really surprised no user flamed you for this question. it is really too basic, you can find the answer in the user manual that came with your phone. but as someone said, everybody overlooks things sometimes. cheers!

I took joy in the fact that I haven't seen anyone ask this before. That made it worth answering without any snarkiness.
I must say I'm a little disappointed. When I say the subject of this post, and that jarek91 was the last poster, I was expecting to read some juicy trash.
But I must agree with jarek91 that I actually haven't seen this question floating around in quite a while.
OK guys, so I found that my original question was not so stupid after all. Of course I overlooked edit setting in contacts, but as I now controled all contacts transfered from the old phone, it seems like they all have already assigned the proper specific ringtone. However, whatever I do (and I tried all settings on phone for changing ringtone from none, through generic to specific) all incoming calls still have only one ringtone.
What now?
I am using 1.83.631.4 (radio 1.27.15.32) Rogers Rom (only ROM with public caller ID)
From what I remember that is the exact reason I looked around for something. As I said earlier try Ringo!

I tried, and it realy works. Thank you.
What I want is a "unknown caller" specific ringtone. AFAIK this cannot be done without additional software. Can someone please prove me wrong on this. Essentially I need a discrete call tone for no caller ID.

Hi all,
due to the fact my provider has now started charging me for accessing voicemails and will not include voicemail access in my inclusive minutes I have turned off the voicemail answerphone on my t-Mobile MDA Vario III (Kaiser), what i'm looking for is a programto run on the PDA that will answer a call after say 45 seconds of ringing and act like an answerphone and record any messages direct to the PDA. I have searched for answerphone but without luck and the only program I can find via Google is iSecretary, but that aparantly isn't fully compatable with the Kaiser?. Has anybody got any ideas as to anything else available that will do this job, preferably free but if I have to pay for the ideal solution so be it.
Thanks

I'm afraid there is no solution, because of the limitations of the Kaiser (and many HTC devices) with the incoming sound.... (mic only)
A workaround should be available in iSecretary, recording loudspeaker -> mic, but this application crashed a lot on my Kaiser so removed it...
Also because it is not a nice solution anyway...everybody can 'enjoy' the voice message.

According to iSecretary the TYTNII is only "half supported" but it looks it would do everything you want.
- lifts the handset automatically when the preset time expires;
- plays the file to the caller;
- records your caller's message within the limits of preset time and hangs up;

check your voicemail using a landline...
I guess i'll have to try isecretary and see if it does enough to get me going, unfortunatly checking voicemail via a landline is not an option in my situation.
Thanks for all the replies so far.

just be prepared.... you will be disappointed...
I did try iSecretary and it worked on some of the calls, about 2 out of the 10 I made to my phone. And like "Optimistisch_nl" said: the callers voice is on loudspeaker while leaving the message. Also the message that I recorded to tell people to leave a message doesn't play either for the caller.
Sorry dude, I'm also still looking for something like this and will let you know if I find a solution.

You won't find a solution unless you buy e.g. a Nokia.....
Guys, ALWAYS check out the Wiki first. I've answered this very question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...nswering machine for Windows Mobile released!
(also see the group http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Audio and call recording, answering machines )
In a word: no, don't expect much - WinMo is, by default, pretty much useless when it comes to local (!!) nswering machines. Should you really need them, go for Symbian.

I was also told that file sharing on WM is not possible by "CLEVER" people, but hypest told me that by setting up a ftp server on the ppc you could share folders that would be visible and able to be browsed by another ppc. Now if that is not "file sharing" then lets call it "sharing files". It works just the same as normal file sharing on Windows.

You should have asked me I've even reviewed & thoroughly compared FTP clients (along with mentioning FTP servers) for Windows Mobile - search for example for 'vxFtp' in the Wiki.
Hi all, has anyone managed to sort out the 2/3 second delay from phone receiving a call to playing the ringtone? Its rather annoying
I'm also having this problem.
Anyone found a workaround yet?
Anyone? I'm very curious as well.
I am using the new ROM and got also this problem.
My HTC Wizard, running on WM5 has the same problem. Never bothered me, really and always thought WM was the culprit.
my blackberry used to do the same thing!

Open the registry editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER >>>> ControlPanel >>>> Sounds >>>>> RingTone0
And modify 'Script' by removing the w3 this should solve the problem let me know if it did not !!

then do this tweak hoop that it works now:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER------>ControlPanel------>PhoneNetSelMode------>Timeout
change the value from 3000 to 0
thanks for your help..
but then still the same..
i think its the natural lag on windows mobile when theres a call?
so different from my n95..
the lag seems to be the time it takes to initialize the mp3/wma/wav player and then load your ringtone from the storage.
Ya my March 2008 firmware updated Nokia N73 also has this 2-3sec lag.. It annoys me.. i 'miss' few of the missed calls (short ones) given due to this...
I've just increased the time it takes before a call is forwarded to voice mail.
Not ideal but at least I'll have fewer missed calls now.
I even had the same Issue on my Motorola RAZR...

How do you do that?
@nokmond
presuming you are in UK then you can change this by following the instructions in this thead:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=40232
It may work for other providers but don't know, it definitely works on O2, T-mob etc here.

Thanks mate
try using *.wav as the ringtone. Let me know if it helps.
You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....
I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

If you're going to make a smart comment about someone's English how about you don't mess up your own comment. I think you meant simply.
lol , damn missed that. But see I have no problem laughing about a simple mistake of missing an e for a y . My sentence was still understandable.
Now I do understand that there are people from all over the world coming here for info and to share what they have found. I can usually still make out what most poeple are looking for. I understand that most countries don't structure sentences like here in the US so somethings are understandable.
Here being nice......to OP
He is looking for a program that will change the ring tone randomly from files in a particular folder.
Wouldn't that really SUCK as an application? I mean imagine you've got specific ringtones for people set for when they call and bam all of a sudden this is completely undone. Would be pretty bad if you were picking up the phone thinking by ringtone it was your girlfriend and it instead turns out to be your boss?
