How do I get photo contacts back once upgraded to WM5? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I did some searches but couldn't find an answer to this question: is it possible to get PhotoContacts back if you've upgraded to WM5? I really miss the ability to assign individual ringtones to each contact. I also like alot of the other features it offers. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated!

Photo Contacts is built into WM5 now, as well as the feature to use different ringtones for different people. When you are adding a new contact or editing one, you can select both.

Thanks, I digged a little harder and you're right, it's all part of the contacts now.

Single SMS Multiple Contacts

Hey Everyone,
I am looking to send a single sms to specific multiple contacts. I understand that the sms feature in WM6 allows you to autocomplete a contact by typing theyre name as you go, I am looking for however a CAB file or something that will allow me to do something like tick the people i want to send to?
I hope they're is something like this out for WM6, otherwise its a long time sending about 200 mobiles a new number ha ha.
I'm not a often poster, but long time viewer, and i know you all know your stuff and i'm thankful for anything you can tell me!

Don't know if you'd only be satisfied with ticking multiple names, but the auto-complete thing does allow you to type in more than one name. I assume you realized that? Alternatively you can just continually click on "add recipient" and select them all one-by-one, though that's a pain in the ass. I've found the autocomplete for multiple recipients to be pretty fast. Do you not find that to be the case?
I was chatting to a few people on palringo's MoDaCo group and one user suggested Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.0 Demo. It does exactly what i wanted to do on the phone but on windows XP!
I only really needed it as a one off but i would recommend it as a solutions especially if your going to use it reguarly
Thanks for your comments and suggestions though, your all good people!
Sean Saunders
you can try this software SMS Assistant from QimSoft
http://www.qimsoft.com/
After install, it will add one Menu item "Add Recipients" at the bottom of Menu
Click it then it allow you to multi select contact
yeah I use group sms as well you can find it in the development thread. didn't realize it was included in the 6.1 rom as well.

Don't worry mate there is an ultimate solution for GRoup SMS... Although i already answer this query in this forum before but anyway...
You definitely need a RJV SMS SCHEDULER OR SHUBAROO'S GROUP SMS 1.4.4 ...

Setting a different time zone while creating an appointment

I know that while creating a new appointment, WM6/Office Mobile does not have the capability to let you set a different time zone for that appointment -like Outlook on a PC. I have searched for quite a while on this site and elsewhere using different combinations of seach phrases to locate a solution to this - a hack or a addon application or a replacement for the built in calendar program with this capability - either freeware or commercial. It is a strong irritant for me because at least half of the entries in my calendar need to be created with time zones set to a zone different from mine. Each time I have to do a calculation in my mind to add or subtract the difference before creating an appointment. If I dont do that and then I go travelling all appointments get shifted to wrong time slots. Anyway to a cut a long story short - I did find an application called TimeZones on www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php which seems to do exactly what I need - However that does not work on WM6 !!!! presumably this was written for some older version of WM.
I am sure there are many people out there for whom this will be a very useful feature.
Any help in finding a solution to this will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump!
Several days and no comments! Either I am one of the very few who is bugged by this problem or there is no solution! I am afraid of the later because I didn't even get flamed for not searching before asking!!!!!
Try SPB Traveler. It does exactly what you want.
Thanks a lot. I will give it try right away
Does PocketInformant allow this?
On thie site:
Multiple Alarms, Travel Appointments
Beyond the primary alarm, you can now add secondary alarms, notifications and travel appointments to new and existing appointments
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This was in the manual:
There is almost no difference between the dialog you see when creating a new appointment, and
the one you see when you edit an existing one. The only exception is with Appointment
Timezones which only show up for new appointments.

Thanks guys for your help. Of the two Pocketinformant is more like what I needed. Many of the goodies in SPB Traveller are already available on Worldmate (free version). Thanks again for the suggestions

voice calendar application

Hi all
Im looking for an app that will complement the calendar by allowing to record voice notes instead of text input when the calendar is open on "day" view.
when you hold down a specific time on the calendar, the voice recorder is activated and the Voice Note automatically gets recorded on the calendar date and time you are holding down, and gets added to your reminders/appointments with default settings and no more questions.
It would be a lot better obviously if it was translated to text first, but not necessary.
I was able to find "voice cal", very old and uninstallable on wm6.1 with .cf.net 3.5
and also "speerio voice organizer"... looks like a memory hog and i read it doesn't work right. Its also crowded with a million different things that are not useful.
I just want a simple interface to be able to use with one or two clicks or buttons in order to set up a calendar event while im driving or on the phone etc....
thanks
bump!.................
Hi Spiro,
any luck on finding that app? Cos i've been looking for the same, tho i would prefer that when u push the "record" button, u get multiple choices regarding where to place the voice note, where "calendar" bein one of the first. Then u just had to place it into the day and time you would like it to be. Haven't found one yet, so i've started to write to different application developers suggesting such an app. I'm surprised that they haven't made one ages ago. In meantime, if you should come across one, pls let me know.
cheers
anyone???
Do I really have to take up programming and write my own app?
I was lookin around and saw this
handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Calendar/VoiceCalendars-52540.shtml
I think this is different than VoiceCal
The one I gave the link to, seems lke it could work. Only problem is that it doesnt use WM existing calendar.
I tried speerio voice reminder and it was horrible! I dont know what some people are thinking.
All I need is a simple plugin to show itself on the calendars context menu when I "long press" on dayview to say "new voice note" and when I click on it it should have a HUGE red record button and a stop button. When you hit the stop button the calendar would save that as an event with the default alarms on the date it was created
the only problem I see with that is that the heading of the event would not be very informative unless one typed the info, but im willing to live with that. Or maybe MSvoice command could help there with some text to speech engine!!! (im not holding my breath)
Im using an app called "thumpcal" right now but they dont have a "day view" and I have to set the time after I scedulle an event on a specific date, but its better than the built in calendar BECAUSE ITS SIMPLE!!!!!
I dont understand how am i supposed to use a program like "speerio" while im driving when it has 30 f...n buttons the size of a neutron on the screen in a grey on grey display?????????
Does anyone know what I have to learn in order to put a little program together to do what I want it to do?
PS I also found some other interesting programs like "freenotes" that I thought was a good idea but I would like to be able to initiate that from the "day view" on the calendar (right click on a time on the screen and have the choice of a voice note or a pen note) so that I dont have to key- in the time that I want the event to take place
ummmmmm.....the link that I posted does what you want.
1.Make folders by subject name
2.Click on a folder, it then brings up calendar
3.Click on a day of the month
4.There is a BIG RED RECORD BUTTON at bottom of screen
5.Record your note, it is then stored for that specific day
Is this not what you want? Granted it doesn't use your existing calendar but hey, something is better than nothing, right
VoiceCalendars
Update*
I was just lookin around and found this app. I think it might be right up your alley. Very simple/minimal interface. Allows you to record a voice message up to 2 minutes and then you can set a date and time for it to play aloud automatically.
Voice Reminder: Download Cab
Heres the website I found it at
I hope either of these programs can help. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find that perfect app!

Hey asofiker
thanks for your reply
I have an HTC Kaiser phone
I tried both programs you suggested and had the same problems with both that other users seem to be experiencing
the "voice calendars" displays a "the control grid .....could not be created" error
and the other program from the XDA member gives me the "An error occoured on sub_app_start.
This device does not support display power on/off Continue?" error.
I appreciate your help and if I find anything that works in the future Ill be sure to post here
Thanks again!
Not exactly what you're looking for but an idea: Agenda Fusion with its Notes Organizer and Data Linking features. Also a good agenda with lots of views. http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm
Pocket Informant 8 is the best Calendar and Contacts app available and I always install it to my wm devices. It has voice notes recording functionality and then some. Check it out. I have tried all the others at great expense (some provide trials) and this is by far the best one.
Regards,
MAC
I tried agenda fusion in the past and find that it falls in the same category as most of these organizer programs its simply overkill for a one handed hand held device with a 2 inch screen
Ill give pocket informant a try and post back
Thanks
pocket informant no good for this purpose either!

Which version of PI are you using?
Mine is version 8 and it does exactly as you require! It saves a voice note under Storage Card/Voices when you select Notes View>Menu>Recording

People TAB supports no more than 15 favourites -> how to remove this limitation?

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anybody noticed that you cannot add more than 15 contacts in the favourites (People TAB in TF3D).
Is there any way to remove this limitation?
Cheers!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
I find the same limit...
Is there any workaround?
Thanks in advance!

LOL - that's the best link
people contacts limit
I apologize, but I've searched a lot before posting and still I can't find a solution.
Would anybody be so patient and willing to help me?
Thank you very much!
Andrea - Italy
Unfortunately, I don't think there exists any tweak to do this ATM...
do you really need more than 15 favorites in "favorites" tab ?
you also have the option to add to yr phone lots of favorites without pic but still a fast way to access yr most used/important contacts.
i like the favorites tab but i find all the favorites option a little redundant. my smart dialer takes much faster to the contact i want.
shortly, in my opinion not such an important issue to be asked and asked again, and pushed again.

Very true that- I make an effort to add the favourites every time I flash although it's much quicker to use smart dialing (awesome feature). I guess adding the favourites is mainly for showing off because it is quite impressive.
I turned that whole tab off

I think you will find more info in the wiki and by trying different roms, it won't hurt really. many free programs listed here and also in members signatures, but really this forum has a google search engine that works. best of luck. my favorite is in my signature, but you need to try find what you like and dont.

You don't need to flash a whole new rom just to get a good contacts manager. Most of the custom roms contain a readily available cm, like icontact or pocket cm. Just look through the notes of a couple roms and see what contact manager they cooked in.
If your a noob???
