Few Kaiser Problems

I have spent 1 day with the Kaiser, i sell them but never use what i sell, they go to fast. So yeah, 1 day so far. I like the phone, a bit heavy but its expected.
1- I installed the WM6 threaded text (i have to have that) so now sometimes when i get texts, it vibrates and makes the sound i chose. even though vibrate is off in the notifications.
2- The phone vibrates on a soft reset, no that big of deal but i havent seen anyone correct it.
3- The weather doesnt pull up my city, but i did find a fix for that.
4- I cant COPY and PASTE in my emails. I tried copying from one email, creating a new and then pasting, PASTE wasnt even an option.
5- The scrolling (touch flow) is very difficult with a screen protector on, is there any way to increase the sensitivity of it?
6- the home screen. I like their concept with the digital clock. is there any way to make that any smaller, so when in landscape, i still have the full view of everything on my screen.
(they should have made a TODAY quick launch button on there, i know i can set the button to be one, but they just should have.)
can anyone else who installed the threaded text messaging found here
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=139379
sorry for the link but its the only way to be sure people know what i am talking about.
Please help. especially for #1 you know how annoying that is?

Oh and it also vibrates on the SILENT setting too.
AHHHH

also, id like to replace the word DELETE with NEW on the email screen.
once in your inbox it has delete on the left and then menu on the right, where you can select NEW.
on all other WM devices, NEW was on the left.
any ideas?

1. Which threaded SMS program did you install? If its the Palm threaded one, then there's a separate notification type for those. So, changing the normal SMS notification type doesn't do anything. You have to change the one that's called "Messaging: New Message: Palm threaded" or something like that...If you installed some other program, it might be similar, but I couldn't say.
2. No fix for that so far. It's such a short vibrate, I guess I don't see the big deal.
3. I guess you must live in a pretty small town. THere's quite a few cities in the list. But even then, it's changeable using a hack.
4. I can't seem to do that either.
5. Don't know if you can change the sensitivity, again, there might be some hack of some sort. But, I am using a screen protector and dont have any issues with it. What kind of screen protector are you using? I didn't use th eone that came with it. It looked cheap. I'm using the PPC Techs one, that are great.
6. No way to change the clock size in the HTC Home plugin. You would need to use some other home plugin/clock program to customize it.

thats where i got it from. but see where it says "once the divice is finished rebooting open resco agian and navigate to program files / palm messaging. You should see this"
i didnt see that and didnt do those steps. it was already in the correct folder.

I don't know about that. I just go to Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications Tab, Event : Messaging: New Message (Palm), then set the type of notification you want for that event.

I can copy - but it seem it is the paste into an email that is broken.
I was able to paste into a note, but something I had copied from the note would not paste into an email. This seems to be a bug - Anyone knows if other WM6 devices can paste ok?

You can copy and paste into emails - it's a weird bug, but the paste option becomes available only after you've typed at least one character into the body of the new email.

From all the searching i have done on various boards with this threaded SMS app it appears this is a well known bug. If you reset the audio profile it does not buzz until you slide the keyboard out at least once during a session, then it vibrates from then on. If anyone comes across a bug fix or a "most recent" version that does not suffer this for Kaiser TYTN II than I would be pleased to know.

I just had mine beep like i waned to, on emails. So i know that works fine. But as far as the vibrating on sms, i cant get that to stop. I open and close the slider and still does it.

Any way to set a custom text message tone for a contact?

I searched the forum but could not find any information. I wanted to find out if there is any way to make a custom text message tone for a contact, similar to making a custom ringtone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

http://ringomo.com/

or try phonealarm

Thanks for the replies. Are there any "simple" apps that solely change the text tone for a contact rather than "complicated" apps like those.

ringo is pretty simple to use, you just pick a sound and then pick a contact, what part are you having trouble with?
I don't believe there is a way to integrate this into the current contacts list if that is what you are looking for.

I personally use Mortring

About as "simple" as you can get. Works great & takes up next to nothing memory/ram.

Cannot Use Ringtones On WM6.1

I finally got WM6.1 installed and ran into a little issue. I tried to customize the device with my old ringtones from WM6.0.
The issue is that they do not show up in the Incoming Calls area of the ringtone section. I moved them into various FOLDERS hoping that WM6.1 would see them but this didn't work. I did notice that the ringtones were showing up in the area for RECEIVED TEXT MESSAGES and other types of the sound notifications.
How can I get the ringtones that were working perfectly fine on WM6.0 to work on the latest WM6.1?
Thanks!

Did you try putting them in the "Rings" folder. That worked for me.

I have tried the following FOLDERS without any luck:
/dev/My Documents/
/dev/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/storage card/My Documents/
/dev/storage card/My Documents/Ringtones
/dev/Windows/Rings/
Seven ringtones (mp3) that worked perfectly on W6.0 are no longer visible as choices for the "Phone: Incoming Call" area. The only options are two WAV files I use for messages being received. However, those mp3 ringtones are visible and are options under all of the send/receive notification tone menus.
I don't get why I can't choose them as phone-call ringtones...
Any thoughts?

mine is doing the same. However, my song still rings even though it does not show being the ringer selected.

/dev/Windows/Rings/
That's where I have mine.

I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was from which ever folder you music is in just press and hold down on the song, and set as ring tone. Now your phone will ring with that song, but if you go in settings/sounds/notifications it still wont come up.

I assume you are on an AT&T Tilt? If so, I had the same problem as well. It turns out that it has something to do with the file size. There's some limit ~400k for the file for it to show on your notification lists for ringtone.
I had to chop off the end of my song, and get it to 300k and then it showed/worked just fine. I'm sure this will get fixed soon.

There's a cab that enables this function. You install it and voila all your mp3's can be set as ringtones. As soon as i find the link again Ill post it. I used it and it works great.

The Fix:
Install the .cab then move the desired MP3 File to Device\My Documents\My Ringtones and you should be able to see them in your Sounds & Notifications settings program.
Source: MikeFordMustang.com, Tiltmobility.com

Okay so I may not post it since someone beat me to it. LOL
http://mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab

I've got all mine on the root of the storage card and it works just fine - can have any size ring-tone you want...

Yo what a difference a .cab can make. I was racking my brain trying to figure out the solution to this issue. I was trying to convert .mp3 to .wma, I was downgrading the audio quality of my songs trying to get their filesize down, all with no positive results. Then I find this thread install the .cab and presto it works. To the creator and posters of this fix THANK YOU!!!!!!! You saved me from a downgrade back to 6.0. :-D

Hi,
I transferred the cab file to my xda ii, has a wm6.1 rom and it just seemed to open an html internet page with the commands in.
I see my ringtones now BUT i can't find ringtones for text.
Basically I want set my own ringtone for incoming calls and then set a differnt one for my incoming sms texts... but it just shows default when I go to look in incoming sms...
If that makes sense can someone help?
I should also mention when i extract the file it is .xml - i tried chaning the file ext to .exe or .cab but no luck... im probably being stupid but all help is appreciated,

thank you
wow, thank you

WM 6.1 registry edit for ringtone file size
I upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 and now my custom ring tones that are over 500Kb do not show up in the pull down menu in order to select them for contacts. This fix is to edit the registry.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.
Alan

Thanks for that .cab it was driving me insane as well not being able to have any of my old ringtones that I used for 6.0 work in 6.1 Thanks a ton!!

Thank you!!! This is just what I was looking for.
Happy Holidays!

I did not want to start a new thread for this secondary issue. I loved when my Nokia bar phone made that BEEP sound with vibration. I could hear it from a distance as it was so distinct even at low volume.
This new Windows based phones suck when it comes to rings and how they sound.
Does anyone have a very distinct beep / similar ring tone that is heard well from Tilt's loudspeakers? That would be appreciated.

New registry keys display list of ringtones.
This is my first post to these fantastic forums. I think I finally found something that merits a post.
Note: I am using WM6.1 AT&T build for Blackjack II. This may not apply here if you use a custom ROM, in which case the chefs may have already remove these keys. If not, here's how you get to see your ringtones, etc. from the Settings/Sounds menus.
In WM6.1 the registry key,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
have 2 new keys:
AllSounds
Ringtones
Each of these keys is a collection of sound files, obviously the ones shipped with the original rom. Use a registry editor to delete both keys. The time to display the list of sounds will increase if you have many sound files.
If you have a set of custom tones, you could put this list into the registry instead and the list will display much faster.
I hope this saves someone some time and frustration.

Can you tell me how to install the NoRingtoneLimit.cab to my phone. This is new to me thk u.

[Tweak] Enable more settings for WM Notifications

This is a collection of registry tweaks to allow greater control over the notifications in WM, including the ability to prevent repeating sounds for reminders. What it does is enable the controls in "Sounds & Notifications" that are normally unavailable for several types of notification.
It's a further enhancement of Juggalo_x's enhanced notifications, which has never been updated or particularly well explained (at least not on this website!) ... I have also included the low battery tweak, as suggested by juiceppc in that thread.
Large credit goes to fredjones32 for this guide with an explanation of the registry values and how the repeat check box can be enabled.
These are the notifications included:
ActiveSync: Begin sync
ActiveSync: End sync
Beam: Autoreceive
Connection disconnected
Connection established
Low battery
Messaging: Downloading MMS
Messaging: MMS downloaded
Messaging: MMS sent
Messaging: New e-mail message
Messaging: New MMS
Messaging: New MMS report
Messaging: New text message
Messaging: Sending MMS
Phone: Missed call
Phone: Voice mail
QuickGPS
Reminders
Wireless network detected
NB: Installing this CAB will turn off all notifications for all of the above events. If you go into Sounds & Notifications you will be able to turn on the ones you want again. This happens because the 'repeat' checkbox cannot be enabled without changing the registry value that controls which notifications are set. It is difficult to preserve the previous values during a simple CAB installation - but if anyone knows of a way please let me know. Detailed settings, for example sound file names, are not lost.

thanks mate
Hi Dave!
Thanks for this great piece of enhancement for all of our diamonds
I'm going to look into it!

Hi Dave! Thanks for your reply
I tested it yesterday...it's working great, except for one thing
I'd configured the notifications for text messages. I used the option repeat which was also available, so than I wont have to miss the alert about my messages...
But what happened, I heard every ten seconds my alert, I opened my message and It just went on and on and on....even though I already opened and read my text....that's quite strange/odd.....(hope you'll understand what I mean)
Did you had same behaviour on your device??
For the rest..I really really found it useful!
Many thanks again and I hope everybody is going to like it, just as I do!
Cheers
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,
I don't use the repeat setting - I was mainly interested in being able to turn the repeat off for reminders! I use SPB Phone Suite on my phone, which allows you to configure sounds that repeat every few minutes until the original notification has been dismissed. The beauty of that system is that it is all configurable by profile, so when the phone switches itself into night mode the repeating sounds are turned off. It's not free but there must be some alternatives.
I've just had a play with the normal repeating sounds and you're right, they're particularly ****ing useless.

thanks I really needed that

Davey 101,
Thank you for compilations.

Davey,
Thanks for this application. I've used a couple of your applications/suggestions before (I can't remember which one - bluetooth perhaps) and they all work great. Thanks for your great contribution.
By the way, I have installed this and it works on WM6.5 too.

thank you for developing this. now i won't have to go climb a bell tower. those repetitive reminders were more than just annoying while i was on a call driving and couldn't shut it of.
thanks again.

Turn off led
Davey101 how to turn off led light notifications, because this .cab is only unblocking options

any-way of making this work when phone is turned to vibrate mode? works great when phone is in ring mode for me!

text message custom tones?

hey all~
so this is my first post here, hope this is in the right thread (if not i apologize and ask the admins to plz move it?)
anyhows, i has a tytn2 (at&t tilt of course) its all upto date and all. i was wondering....i know i can set custom ring tones for contacts for when they call, is there any way (free way) to set custom tones for when somebody texts?
i had my old phone (motorolla rokr z6) set to do that and would like to have my new phone set that way too but i can't find how to or if its even possible anywhere....
thanks all

Ok, I think I got two questions out of that test. J/K
1. Edit: Sorry about that. I didn't read properly.
2. To assign notification sounds. Start>Settings>Personal>Sounds&Notifications>Notifications. Open the Event: drop down, find the event, Open the Ring tone: select the sound, turn on Play sound, finished.
Notification sounds reside in the \Windows\ root folder of the device. I like to put ring tones into the \Windows\Rings\ folder. They work in other folders but I find the Rings folder neater than the root for example and thats what the Rings folder is meant for anyway.
Hope that works for you.

U cant assign different ringtones for text messages to contacts. For that u will probably need some 3rd party application.

hey all~
hurm, okay well if i can't then does anyone know of any 3rd party app that can do it? i know pcm can NOT do it for text's (but they can for calls) . . .
thanks for the help guys and gals
~j

try mortring. you can personalize rings for calls and sms according to individual or category.
although it's been slightly buggy since i upgraded to 6.1, it still does the job well enough.

somynex~
thanks ill google it right now
~j

Try photo contacts. You can assign text tones to individuals on it

hey all~
so igrabed mortringand installedit buthad no luck with it working :-( so i guess ill look into that other suggested program....
like i said it's not a big deal, just something i would likes (it shouldn't surprise anyone as my screen name should imply i'm a linux guy [ubuntu is a linux distro.] and i love everythiing tweaked as much as possible lol)
~j

sorry to hear that mortring didn't work. in WM6 and before it seems to intercept the call and then change the ring.
But in WM6.1 it seems to have to change the ringtone for each contact/category according to the ring i set it to, which can take a long time. the first time after i set the rings, thought my phone froze up. but actually it was just taking its time setting the rings for each contact (and takes a long time when one has a lot of contacts/categories).
anyway after the first couple days of freezes, it seems to work fine now and hasn't froze up on me since.

somynex~
maybe i'll give it another go then....i tried with my brothers contact info. changed his txt tone then had him txt me....maybe i needed to let it sit for longer to 'finish the change' . . .
thanks for the extra info

No problem mate.

Here's a post of mine from almost 4 years ago that you can use with Mortring (free) to make custom notifications for your contacts.
Okay I figured out how to create a custom notification/ringer.
1: go to http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
And type in what you'd like for the notification or ring to say and then
download it after picking a voice. (keep in mind sometimes you have to purposely
misspell certain word to get them to be pronounced correctly. For example for DJ

3: move that .wav file to your devices /windows directory.
4: go to start - settings - sounds & notifications - notifications (select the
event you'd like to change the ring for and select the respectable audio file).
If using Mortring in step 4 assign that .wav for your contact(s).

dj~
wow thanks, from 4 years ago...kewl that u looked it up fo rme i appreciate it and will be off to create
~j

Of course.. then there's always Electricpocket Ringo. It lets u assign ringtones and sms tones individually, or to groups. The best I've used so far.

Free? I tried Ringo over a year ago and it slowed down my phone a lot.

hey all~
i got mortRing working! seems pretty good, works for sure. one thing though...it seems that everytime i get a text from someone whos got a personalized tone, that wmp opens to try to play the wav file (and go figure, wav=windows audio video...wmp says it can't play wavs lol)
i think i may have fixedn it with a registry tweak, have to wait till someone with a custom tone texts me back lol
~j

hey all~
ok so this question is probably for those who have or have used mortRing....everytime a custom notification comes my media player opens :s
i went in the registry and undid the default wmp handling of wav files (as the ringtones...err text tones lol that mortRing recognizes are wav's) but then it opened a dialouge saying it didn't know how to handle the wav file (nvm it played lol) ii changed the default to mort player but it still opens whenever one of the custom contacts text me....at least mort closes quicker then wmp...but still would be nice to get it to stop...
so any ideas? a registry hack (i'm comforatable doing that, even though im a linux guy i work on peoples win-slows computers....a LOT) anything?
thanks
~j

I have an older version of Mortring that doesn't have that problem.

DJ~
do you happen to know what version number you have? thanks
