....is there any way that i can set categories in my Contacts, and then set ringtones for specific categories? is there a program out there that does so? i tried Photo Contacts Pro, but didn't really like it, so is there anything else that could do so?
What's wrong with using Microsoft Outlook.? When you open Outlook contacts to set up a new or an old contact for that matter, at the bottom right hand corner there should be a box for selecting and editing categories. Then sync.
I don't regularly sync contacts, but I can recommend Pocket Informant for your ppc and it dose a very good job of managing and editing categories.
yeah, i set up the categories and everything, but i cant assign ringtones to a specific category, which is what im attempting to do...
Use Phonealarm to assign category specific ringtones...
There is no way to set ringtones per category. Just set them for each contact.
Look for a small program called Tone Manager - you should be able to find it on www.freewareppc.com This does exactly what you need. Assign a ring tone to ALL contacts in a category. Hopefully you have categories assigned to all contacts

I'm trying to do 2 things on my new Tytn II and I'm wondering if anyone knows how.
First, and mostly simple, I want to somehow enable the date to show on the top bar of all screens, sort of how you can enable the clock to show on all applications. Any ideas?
Also, I manage all of my contacts through Goodlink so that it is sync'd with work. However, this prevents me from using certain features that are in the device. For example, you can't set a voice dial to a contact in Good unless it's in the Outlook mobile client that comes with the device. Is there any way to automatically sync all Good contacts with the Outlook client so the two are always up to date?
Thanks!
For the first issue, click on the clock, then on the "more" tab, there is only 1 option in this window, which does what you want
Hello,
I am looking for a contactlist/phonebook editor (windows xp) to edit the phonebook of the diamond touch ( including the pictures )
I know of the xml backup, but it dumps all contacts separate.
Is anyone working on a easy to use editor ?
thanks in advance.
If you use ActiveSync, the default application is Outlook's address book I believe. It's pretty convenient and has support for editing photos and all different kind of information fields on your contacts.
aye - you get a free outlook with the thing - use it. If you already have outlook running even better.
I just couldnt figure out how to have it sync only a specific category of contact. I know you can do it, i just cant find the setting.......
you can do all your editing on the phone through the menu.
I sync mine through Lotus Traveler only problem is it keeps listing them Surname, Forename instead of the other way around - I keep having to go into each contact individually and change it around after each new ROM install.
Hi there,
Simple question, how do I delete categories? When I create a new appointment the list of categories includes one I never use (like Facebook - created by Snap2Face), but I can't see any way to delete them...

russ~
seems like a very similar question to one i asked a while back re. deleting unused phonebook categories.
haven't seen any way to do either in my research....i imagine that with enuf searching someone will find a program or registry hack to do the job!
~j
AFAIK the categories can only be deleted on the PC in outlook. Then on the next sync it will remove them on the phone.
try 3-d party pim. AFAIR agendus can do it
Hello...all my contacts came from my gmail so when I try to set a custom ringtone it shows no contacts. Is there a way to copy all my gmail Contacts to the phone? Or a 3 rd party apparently to set customized ringtones? Thx for the help!

Nobody knows?
When i play song in music player, i click "set as" caller ringtone, and it shows no contacts, even if I create one it seems as though I cant assign a ringtone for that particular contact, but it works fine if i set it as my ringtone (for everyone)
Are imported through Gmail contacts not the same as "fully-fledged", inputted into the phone contacts?
...I was about to load all of my numbers into my Gmail account's address-book, and sync. Now I'm not so sure that I want to. Partly for privacy reasons, I've kept segregated email and telephone—for years. Why make the leap now, if integration is not total...?
I've heard about an application called Google Sync. I wonder, would that be of any help?
Here is what I did. Sync contacts from gmail, in contacts hit menu and export to SD card. Copy file from internal to external SD. Hard reset to remove Google account. When resetting up your phone unchecked contact sync and them when in contact hit menu and import from SD

kind of weird and annoying why it isnt simple.
I found a way to copy them all to phone, so they show up. But when I assign them a ringtone, it doesnt work, despite a different song being chosen when i see them on contact.
Does song have to be less than 300k? i dont get an error or anything, just plays my default ringtone for all my contacts.
You can get around the 300k limit for songs. Simply create a folder on the root of your SD Card called 'ringtones' and copy the music files into there.
As for assigning custom tones to google contacts, RingDroid can do that.
Damn—you know, it's really cool that "there's an app for [everything]"—but some of these features really ought to've come standard in the OS... like, shuffling around icons on the dock, or, rearranging icons in a folder, or, placing folders within folders, or, allowing for %-indication of the battery in the status-bar.
Methinks tweakfreak users ought to be the first guys hired to field-test/QA these devices, and point out what's missing to the devs
Well ring droid worked great...many thanks!

Hi all
My g/f got the HD7 today and it's been fairly plain sailing so far. Couple of things have come up though, she got her contacts imported from her sim card without any problems but as soon as she linked her Hotmail account it imported those Contacts as well. Thing is she doesn't want the Hotmail contacts, so can we get rid of them without deleting the Hotmail connection.
We also couldn't find out how to set the snooze time for the alarm or set the alarm to be full volume as soon as it goes off.
Thanks for your help
you can't set the volume separately so the phone has to be left at full volume, and there aren't any snooze time settings as far as I've been able to see, the phones very beta maybe even alpha state atm
They can't really have released a phone in beta form can they? That would be a sure fire way to upset customers. Going back to the alarm, currently it starts low and raises the volume over time, we want it full volume straight of. Might try a third party alarm.
the software's stable but the feature set is really limited, patches are going to add features such as cut and paste and use your own ring tones, things that people have come to expect as standard, so though the software/hardware isn't really beta, the feature set is so lacking it's as if MS launched early and are waiting to hear the cries about what is missing to add them ala the cut and paste.
Any answer to the hotmail sync of contacts? Can we pick and choose which contacts to use or not use any or delete them after the sync?
I had to delete all of my contacts, didn't really bother me seeing as I don't use MSN nowerdays and my Windows Live ID is a @Gmail addy anyway so I don't and Can't use Hotmail.

Hey, yes you can remove the hotmail contacts...
Go into "settings", "email & accounts" then select your hotmail account. from here you should have a "content to syncronsise" section. just remove the contacts from the list.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That cant be done if that account is being used as your primary live id though.
Indeed - it's not possible. The solutions are to merge hotmail accounts to normal sim accounts, if they match, or to delete your hotmail contacts completely.
Not ideal, but it's how it is.
