Set ring tone [PhonExt on 4.00 ROMs]

[Goijers]

On PPC2003 4.00.10 I have set a ring tone for a contact. However when the person rings I hear the default ring instead of the specific ring tone. With version 4.00.05 this option worked well.

Does anyone have the same problem and have perhaps a solution?

[Peter Poelman]

Did you do this using PhonExt, or how?

PhonExt, at least to my knowledge, only worked on 3.17.03, and not on 4.00.05.

To my knowledge I did not use phonext (ring tone to a group) for this. In the contacts app I choose for the option "set ring tone" so I can set a ring tone on an individual person.

That is a PhonExt feature. But PhonExt ringtones already didn't work in 4.00.05, so you must have had it work in 3.17.03 or some other 3.x ROM, right?

Oeps I thouth it was a PPC2003 feature. Í am sure btw that is worked in 3.17.03 and 4.00.05 (cooked by Jeff). It's odd, but I noticed more bugs in PPC2003. I.e. in the today's screen not my all day events are displayed.

But overall I am happy with PPC2003. Hope that we have a Developers version (like v 1.2 SE) soon.

Strange it is working for me very well, I am using Qtek with 4.00.05 from Jeff's Kitchen.

[Peter Poelman]

Just confirmed that PhonExt's distinctive ring feature does indeed work on 4.00.05. So there must have been something else wrong when I tested before.

Could someone confirm whether or not it's working on 4.00.10 ?

Amazing. Verified here as well. If you recall we discussed this a month or so ago and it was not working. My .05 ROM does not have it installed so I installed it in RAM and it works! If we can only figure out how to get the "G" notification active in .10 we'd be set. I checked most of the registry without luck.

Hey guys,

I must be shouting my face blue now. I couldn't get the darn ringtone to work in 3.17 rom cooked from Jeff's kitchen and it seemed that there are a couple of guys out there who bothered to respond in my other threads also having the same problem. Somehow it is not working at all -- can anyone reading this post who find that phonext 1.2 doesn't work at all even with 3.17 rom please confirm by tying a simple reply in this forum as well? Thanks.

Cheers

Vic

Try installing it to RAM, not ROM and let us know.

[xdaeire]

ive installed it to both ram and rom...used ser 1.2...now using one off jeffs excellent recipes.....3.17.3......phoneext ringtones wont work!..i did notice a misspelt setting in the registry.....command is spelt commnad[search for phonext]...but that didnt sort it out!...any ideas?

[valheru]

Strange. It did not work for me before either and upon seeing it working in this forum I tried it again and it worked. I know that MUTX RingeToneX works with ppc2002 and it only runs $6.

[Goijers]

I just tried MUTX RingeToneX and it works wel with PPC2003 4.00.10

Hi guys,

Just an update- already re downloaded the latest 1.2 phonext and reinstalled it via Active Sync (presumbably means into ram) and still no sign of the darned ringtone working normally. I could dial OK but could not assign any ringtone at all. I also noticed that in the registry Ringtone0, the SavedSound entry doesn't change at all and is fixed at OldPhone which I used as my default previously. I have since changed the default and it still remained the same. The Sound entry is the one which changes whenever one switches the default ringtone. Can anyone throw any light on how to use the software?

Cheers

I've not had any luck getting it to work either on my XDA with any version 4 of the rom. I can get it to assign the tones but it just doesn't play them when the person calls.

[valheru]

I think it is the luck of the draw for I tried it with many many reinstallations of all of the 4x roms and NADA. I gave up and then two days ago I saw here that is was working so I downloaded it again, installed it and VOILA! Weird but it works perfectly. It didn't even work on my old ppc2002 install.

Using the 4.00.11 Cooked ROM - Phone Ext does not work for me either despite an exhaustive pount around registry settings - Contacted the Developer - He is looking into it - Will advise when I have news

Hi,

It didn't work for me also with version 3.17 and 4.00.11.
But I'd like to ask you an off-topic question. I see that plenty of you maintain PPC 2003 on your XDA. Doesn't it erase your SD? Because that's the reason I downgraded from PPC2003 to PPC2002 again. :?

[valheru]

I didn't want to say this for fear of jinxing myself but .11 has not erased my sd card once! Knock on wood 3 times! However, I will say I believe the erasures are due to:

-using explorer or other program that accesses files or resides on the sd card and not CLOSING the program when not using it and make sure it is pointing to RAM when closed.

So, try our 2003 and make sure when you use a program that accesses your sd card, close it when done and make sure the program in question is pointing to RAM when you close it. Just my .02.
