15-second Delay

For the third day with this phone, another problem arose.
There seems to be a 15-second delay receiving incoming calls. In other words, the caller would of went through at least 6 rings, before receiving my first ring on the Diamond. Am I missing something here?
-Johnny

are you using stock rom and radio? if you are FLASH!

Are you sure about 15 sec delay?? Most people complaining about 3 sec delay. There is a tweaks program you can use called Tweaks2k2. You can disable the 3sec ringtone delay. Im pretty sure if you install it on your device you can check the checkbox called ''disable 15s rintone delay''

or try this...

Btw, What filetype are you using for yr ringtone?
I tried the tweaks2k2 tweak, and it seem to reduce the delays BETWEEN rings.. not diminish the first 3sec delay.
I'm using wma. Ya think wav would be betta?

Isn't this the common problem using the HTC phone skin? If you disable that it's supposed to make the delay non-existent. You can do it in Schaps Advanced Config I understand.

Hi thanks what does this cab do, i mean the word loudest indiactes louder volume also?
Thanks
Dinesh

Thanks guys, I had got it down to 1 second now!
I installed the program and got it to come down to 4 seconds.
I converted my ringtone into a .wav format and moved it into the 'Ringtones' folder. No more 15-second delay!
-Johnny

I can confirm, after converting my ringtones to wav files and installing this patch, the 3 second delay is gone.
Working perfect !!!

Does anyone know exactly what this patch modifies so we can do it manually and track all the changes?
Or is it only the converted .wav files that is the big change?

I can also confirm that after you apply the patch and change the ringtone to .wav, the delay is gone!

@ Mask
I use mp3 files. When i call myself i took less than a second before ringing. Normally it takes 3 seconds. But i dont understand the 15sec delay..

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.

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.

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
I had to spell it as d j).
2: rename that file you downloaded into something you'd like.
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

MP3 as text alert?

Hi all, i have recently got an mp3 trimming program i found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4841262#post4841262 which works fine on the TD2, and i have chopped up a few mp3 tracks and put them in the ringtone folder(main memory) on my device. Now i can select one of these to use as my ringtone fine using the notifications tab in sounds but i cant seem to set a mp3 i have trimmed as an incoming text message alert. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how?

no it is not possible, you have to put your file in wma format into windows folder
edit: sorry my mistake, mp3 works in wm6.5

I set one of my trimmed mp3s as my incoming text and mms alert. I renamed as "Alert-tonename" and dropped in into my windows folder. I also put into my ringtones folder for good measure so I don't know if you need to do both. But, that is how I got one of my trimmed mp3s available as a message alert. Hope this helps.

Put it directly into your Windows folder, rings are only for rings but sounds go to Windows.

Thanks for the info guys ill take a look now
Hmm if i try and move the file on my pc via sync for some reason it does not show the windows folder i need to move it to, and i have tried several things on the device itself i.e. touching the mp3 file till i get the pop up menu, pressing cut then going to the windows folder holding the screen again but i have no option to paste :S sorry if its a simple solution i just cant seem to work it out.

Many thanks guyd i have sussed it ou, im well happy thanks
P.S. if anyone else is unsure feel free to ask here or message me and ill do my best to explain.

Hi Shambolicuk, I'd be grateful if you could explain to me how you did it.

I copied them in My Ringtones and they automatically appeared in the ringtone list

Changing ringtone and alerts to Mp3's or Wav's
This is old but I wonder if there are any fossil TD2's that are still using TD2's. Change the login sound by setting "HTC-tonename" ? Cant delete the original HTC-Quietly...wav any ideas??
Quote I copied them in My Ringtones and they automatically appeared in the ringtone list Quote
This works for ringtones but not for alarms or alerts.

Tiramislim 2.0 custom ringtones not working

Is there a patch or is there a way to repair it ? Tried with converting mp3 to .ogg ect ect... It just doesn't work. The ROM is awesome but this is annoying as hell.
Tried to use the rings extended and other apps but still nothing.
Please advice and cheers.

Same question yesterday, no answers till now.

I'm using my own ringtone on Tiramislim v2. I could choose it in the ringtone list in the sound settings.
What you can try is copy the file to: [\sdcard\media\audio\ringtones (or Notifications for SMS/Alarm/etc.) and see if it's in the list in the sound settings.
I also set a ringtone from poweramp with no problem.
Hope the above will work for you!

STILL NOTHING this is b*shi*
I managed to get a ringtone for any call, but not for my friends and family :/ I have a custom ringtone for my default call. But still I can't assign a different ringer to a different person... WTF?! On my last ROM - no problem. Different person - different ringer... This is bugging me... It's a small detail but men is it annoying...
