After I upgraded to WM6, I lost the "default" text message alert tone. I dont know if you guys know which one Im talking about, but I'd really like to get it back!
If anybody still has it, could they email me the file? or tell me where I can download it back.
The alert tones that come with WM6 suck and I don't know where to download text message alert tones..
Thanks!
Hi Chrissystar.
I dont know what "default" alert tone you were using but most of them are stored on " My windows Mobile" in the windows folder.
But you can use any small .wav file as your tone I was using Rom 4. something and could play the catchphrase. But I know have upgraded to 6.1 and cant play it anymore. I keep getting Memory to low to play. so looking for a new one.
If you have any Music on your phone just highlight it with your pen and within the menu that pops up it asks if you want to use the file as your ringtone.
any way if I find some decent text tones I will post a link to you. OK
I Cant find this anywhere and wondered if its possible to change the sound/alert that is heard when an SMS (not MMS) has been sent.
I'm sure I managed it before but nothing appears under 'sounds and notifications' and I cant remember how I did it before if I did at all!
At present i see a pop up box saying 'Message Sent' and hear an alert tone that I'm not keen on, its certainly not what it was before a recent o2 rom upgrade. Currently its the same sound as the sound heard when youre SMS cannot be sent (because of no signal) whereas before these two sounds were most definately different to one another.
Ive taken a look here which is a starting point
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc...eep-popup.html
this information is not quite what i need because....
There is still no differentiation between the alert sound of an SMS that was sent successfully or one that has failed, since the alert sound falls under one category of "Default" notification accross the phone.
It's kind of half of the info I need, if you like.
I have no idea how this was different on my previous 02 ROM but if it helps to explain a little more then the "Default" pop up alerts were "Alarm2" (IE: message not sent & all other notifications/alerts) & the SMS Sent successfully alert/pop up was "Alarm1".
Im guessing this would need an additional registry key adding in the notifications part of HKCU, but I wouldnt know where to start
Terribly sorry think I found my answer here, yet to test

EDIT-----
NO that wasnt right, still searching......................
Did anyone ever find a solution to this?
I'm looking to delete the annoying SMS sent tone but just keep the 'Message sent' speech bubble - is this possible?
"same problem" here ...
edit: done, i've managed to put a mp3 sound ^_^
Please share how you resolved issue?
sorry ... i didn't concentrate when i read the topic .. i didn't know how to change the sms ringtone .. sorry
Resolved
Found out how - you need to edit registry and replace the target .wav file with whatever one you want to use (must be stored as a .wav file in windows directory).
Navigate to HKEY_Current_User > Control Panel > Notifications > Default and then change Wave string to point to your new .wav file.
I recorded a 0.25 second blank .wav file & put it in windows folder so no annoying sound now, just the speech bubble notification & the envelope icon pops up which is fine.
My Problem is, that I recieve only some of my SMS/text that was sent to my. So I heard from friends that they sent me a text message, but I didn't get it. There is no pattern on this problem. I have a conversation with 4 sms sent to me, but i only recieve 1,2,4. Message Nr. 3 is missing. Sometimes its also the first message thats lost.
All my friend got the status for sms/text activated and they get the status "delivered" for the lost messages.
Someone else that problem?
I only have seen the problem about sending, but none with getting.
yeah the same happened to me recently, but only with my GF number (same operator), not other contacts (AFAIK: since no one complained, no sms got missed!). still no diagnosis, and no solution obviously. hope that won't lead to a hard reset, which is a major pain
I had an issue that my sim card was full - it seemed the phone was trying to save sms to the sim. I deleted a few and now all seems okay. However they can't be going to the sim any more as I have received more than I deleted.
This happened after I had been using a spare phone as I went camping and needed a phone that had a few days battery life instead of the day or so that my touch pro 2 has
thanks for your help smudge.
it's not my case since my sim card is blank, no sms or contacts in it.
however, yesterday evening I hard resetted the phone, now I'm waiting to test if the problem is still here. If it is, it must be the operator's fault, or something related to my GF device / SIM. I'll let you know if I discover something new...
I have similar problem - I'm supposed to receive SMS, but I don't. I didnt have this problem (I didnt notice it) before I installed latest version of S2U2, maybe there's some problem with it? I have S2U2 set to show incoming SMS/MMS messages...
Also I have enabled hack mentioned in this forum which powers on mobile on receiving message (so it is displayed on the screen, not only notified by blinking LED and sound as is default setting). Maybe there is some incompatibility with S2U2, Im trying to pipoint this.
ChAr
uhm...missing sms should be the operator's problem,
i've been having such issue not only with TP2.....not all the time but usually consecutive sms with only one person usually caused it
i have the same problem, tried hard resets rom flash but no success!
i am from austria!..
please somone fix that thing
after HR yesterday evening no more missed sms until now, no one I had notice of. but that doesn't make me feel safe, it needs to be checked further.
surely gunggu is true!
sorry, probably ot, but i have the opposite problem.
I have too much sms in the incoming folder: I can see my sent sms. That means an sms like (me: hi bla bla..)
the received notification is disabled. any hint?
so after some tests, I figured out my problem.
It was the programm proxy cab, that I used. If it is installed, I got only every second sms, after it is deinstalled I got every sms...
Strange problem.
Hey there people all much smarter than me. I just bout a HTC touch pro 2 (i know 2009 called and wants their phone back) anyway i am having this problem of some sms messages not getting through. i have not been able to see a pattern due to not finding out about missing messages till sometimes weeks after i missed getting them
if anyone found a solution thats not alreay mentioned in this thread (cant find an option to save stuff to the sim)(cant find mention anywhere of "program proxy cab"
any help would be great otherwise i will have to go back to using my HTC tytn 2
Greetings All,
I recently got the tilt 2 as a replacement for my Fuze from ATT warranty, and marcini made my day with his volume fix, but I still have a couple of questions I hope some can either help me out, or direct me in the right direction.
Being a Motorola user before, I liked the idea of being able to setup contact ringtones and sms tones for each contact, instead of WinMo have one tone for all sms's. Anyone know if there is a way to do this, either by hack, or third party that threads along?
Also I see there are alot of lock type programs, and have done searches but havent found anything, is there a program that allows you to lock certain programs from being accessed without a PW? For example I'd like to lock the messages from being accessed and say the contacts without entering a code. Again motorola had this feature as well as some other phones, and was wondering if anyone knows if there is anything out there like this for the Tilt2?
Another question is, in the stock ATT tilt2 when you get a call it shows a picture of who is calling, after answering the call, I notice that the call screen says unknown with a avatar outlining? This from what I have seen only happens with incoming calls and not out going calls.
Another problem, in the Fuze under the people tab, you could finger swipe to have the plus box to tap so you can add people to the list, it seems that in the tilt2 you have to tap the plus sign thats located at the right, having big fingers, thats not always easy to do. Is this by design or a bug?
Last this would be a mod if anything, cause I have seen this be this way with htc since the 8125 model. is there any way, hack or cab or what not (Not third party) to increase the amount of alarms from 3 to possibly 5 or 6? I normally use the 3 alarms and when I need to I change the last one all the time, because the first two have to remain.
Last question I promise, US Tilt2 or US Touch Pro 2 users, On my version I have noticed that the signal bars are constantly shifting from 0 bars to 5 bars, especially after the phone screen blacks out and then you hit the power button to wake it up, but it also does occur with awake too. Is this something everyone is experiencing? Or only ATT tilt2 users? I have checked this with other phones I have, (Fuze, Tilt, LG Incite) and I dont see this problem occur.
If any of these have been answered I apologize in advance, but I have been coming here for a very long time, and I have done numerous searches over the past and sometimes I get lucky, and sometimes you dont, but I dont recall seeing any of these questions ever asked.
Incase anyone needs to ask, I am running the stock rom that came with the tilt2 from ATT with WinMo6.5.
Thanx for anyone helping out with the questions, or directing me to the right place!

You can choose individual ringtones for a contact by editing their entry in the Contacts app and selecting a ringtone from the drop down menu. There is no native way of selecting a tone for SMS though.

A known issue with the Tilt 2, and lucky you, HTC issued a fix for it today.

That is by design. You can also tap the Menu soft-key and select Add Favorite. You can also add favorites from within the HTC Contacts app. Just slide over to the Favorites tab and tap 'New'.

Windows Mobile by design only manages up to 3 alarms. To get more, you will probably have to resort to some 3rd-party application.

I have not seen this issue with my phone. It may be the way the phone responds to the reception in your area, or some other factor.

Then do you or anyone know of a third party app that threads into the htc app to add sms tones to each contact?

Yeah I know the other ways, but thought they would have changed that since the screen usually stays at the last contact to stopped at.

Well that is another factor in this area, but none of my other phones do it so I thought I would ask and see. I have tried with Advanced Configuration to shut off 3G but it wont let me, going to see if the HD2 Tweak program will to see the results, since 3G is just about dead here in South NJ with the flood of Iphones sucking up the bandwidth.
I'll ask my questions here since I dont think making multiple posts is needed:
Anyone know where the registry location is for landscape to portrait mode? I installed the cab that increases the list of apps using G-Sensor, but for some reason if I go into file explorer in portrait mode and then turn the phone, the screen wont switch to landscape mode?
Anyone notice that the calculator is different in landscape mode then portrait mode? Landscape its scientific.
Did HTC remove the IMapp for AIM, Yahoo, MSN? If so, does anyone know of a IM app that works on the TP2 that doesnt use Data? Meaning AIM, MSN, Yahoo, would connect but I have an umlimited txt plan and its free, does anyone know which might do those 3 or all of them thru the txt msg plan and not data?
Sorry for all the questions, but I havent seen them asked so incase anyone else has issues its in one Post.
Thanx in advance for the answers.
As far as a seperate alarm.. I fully endorse G-Alarm.. http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about
That is one sweet alarm proggy..
As far as the individual sms tones.. a google search of xda with terms sms+contact* gave me this thread as a first result.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=236909 haven't used it, but reads like Mort Script stuff to me..
I have a might sound like a stupid question, does the slideout keyboard on the tilt2 light up? I am getting mine on Monday 12/20 I have searched everywhere and can not find the answer.

Yes it does in fact.. Pls try to search harder.. lol..
This should answer a lot of questions that might 'pop up'.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=019DUvmT8D8
What are folk using to read or reply to SMS messages on their units?
I did some searching on the old thread and TabletTalk looks exactly what I'm looking for but it unexpectedly crashes whenever I open it on my HU and I'm not sure if there are any logs I can check to see why? Anyone else having that issue?
I also seen that another option is Tasker with a few plugins but does that use 3G to sync the messages? Ideally I want something that does it all over Bluetooth. I'm not really fussed about WhatsApp messages or that, just SMS.
Cheers
I was using mightytext (needed to get apk from my tablet as hu is not supported in google play) and it used mobile data. Added bonus of being able to reply...however can't do so when driving, which negates it a bit
I'm in the middle of setting up tasker/autoremote/autovoice. The plan is for message to be received, sent to hu, seneder read out, yes/no option to read message, yes reads message, no ignores message (possibly third input for reminder in x minutes). Gives a bit more privacy when others are in the car
Autoremote works over any data connection; mobile, wifi, Bluetooth. It's easy enough to transfer messages (sender, body) using autoremote and getting it to appear as a notification on hu (instead of my more complex goal)
Also pushbullet works fine (but might be mobile data only)

I seen mightytext as well actually, didn't like the fact that it was over data as well though and assuming your texts will be stored on a server.
Ahh I didn't realise Autoremote worked over Bluetooh, the tasker/autoremote/autovoice sounds like a great option thanks :good:

I think there is a fallback order to determine which protocol to use (haven't had time to use in a while). I like that it'll use Bluetooth when no data as when I have my wifi obd device connected, it takes over wifi and turns data off
I've been using mysms on my PC and phone for the last few years, an alternative to mightytext. Mysms has annoyed me though so I think I'll be checking out mightytext even though I have a paid sub to mysms. It sometimes leaves a message that the phone might have not had the reception to send in a limbo zone, where you can't resend it for 15-30 minutes until it officially fails. Plus it's freaked me out with display problems sometimes, showing me I sent messages to people not that I intended.
Thanks for all the replies
I had a quick look at tasker and automate but had some trouble getting the URL on the start page and it does seem like a bit of hassle to set up.
I've been happy with the stock rom but I might just flash Malaysk's rom and see if tablet talk works on that.
Sorry to bump an old thread, just thought I'd mention I now have texts from my phone displaying on my HU and I can reply from the HU.
I'm using Tasker, AutoRemote and AutoNotification. It took me a while to get my head around working them, if anyone wants me to export my tasks etc so they can text from their head unit let me know and I'll do so
From my searching before I posted I remembered a few people had asked about it so just thought i'd mention in case anyone wants it. I only have mine set up for SMS which talks to the HU through Bluetooth but I'd imagine its pretty much the same for WhatsApp etc.

Sure, would be interested in seeing how you've done it
Ditto. Avid Tasker user so would lurve to see your tasks ?
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using Tapatalk
I'm at work just now (working hard clearly ) so can only upload my phone profiles/tasks, I'll upload the HU ones later.
I had been testing on my tablet which is why the recipient may be different but I suppose if you wanted to use it you would need to change it anyway. Any questions or suggestions fire away, its been a while since Ive done any programming type of stuff so if there are more efficient ways of doing things I'd be glad to know
For folk with little experience with Tasker, AutoRemote and AutoNotification, here's how it works:
1) On the phone: If I receive a text and my bluetooth is on, set a variable to 1.
2) On the Phone: When the variable equals 1, start the AutoRemote Bluetooth service and send the SMS details to the HU then set the variable back to 0. (Messages are sent one at a time so it sends the recipient's name, then number, time received and text body separate)
3) On the HU: When one message is received, add 1 to a variable to count each message received.
4) On the HU: When all messages are received (the counter equals 4) use the AutoNotification to show a new notification that you have received a text.
6) On the HU: On the notification there is a reply button and a discard button. Discard button runs a task to just close the notification and reset all variables. Reply button runs a task that closes the notification and then opens a tasker scene (a sort of window)
7) On the HU: The scene shows the name and number the SMS is from and a text box to type a reply. Buttons on the scene are an exit button, send button, car button and call button. Exit obviously closes the scene and then clears all variables. Send button will send the details back to my phone, close the scene and clear the variables. The car button I have set to send a template message "I'm driving just now sorry, I'll call you later" then it clears variables and closes scene. I want the call button to call the contact through the built-in bluetooth app on the HU, although I'm still working on this to see if its possible. This is one of the main reasons I went to the hassle of doing this myself rather than use an app since most apps deal with calls too and use your phone mic which I didn't like since my phone will most likely be in my pocket and I have my mic all wired up in my car.
8) On the Phone: The phone waits for the number and text message to be received. I used separate tasks and a counter like before to make sure both parts are received.
9) On the Phone: When the counter equals 2 (both the number and message have been received) then it sends the SMS from the phone, clears all variables and stops the AutoRemote Bluetooth service since I dont want this running all the time.
Hopefully it makes sense but like I said, happy to help other people get it set up I'll get the HU XML's uploaded tonight when I'm home and get some screenshots as well. Its still at very early stages so I may make some tweaks, I've actually yet to test it in my HU but its all working on my tablet so I dont see an issue. I'll get a better feel for how functional it is as well once Ive imported it into my car but I suppose its down to personal preference and people can add or change what they want.
Cheers guys
Here are the HU exported XMLs and a few screenshots taken from my tablet from texts I was sending to myself.
Its at early stages so go easy on me
Nice approach. In autoremote you can send multiple parameters by using =:= between them like " SMSSendTo=:=number=:=body=:=time"
And then access them by %arcomm1 %arcomm2...
That way you can do it a bit more efficient.
I have edited your profiles and tasks. I will upload them later today so you can se how it can be done.
I used Tablet Talk years ago so I had paid for it already. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the HU to connect with my phone with bluetooth or wifi. I just purchased Tasker for the first time and the amount of options is incredible not to mention the plugins. I just don't have the time to learn the ins and outs of it all at this time. I look forward to seeing how this develops. Thanks for sharing your work!
Thanks guys
Yeh I had trouble getting tablet talk working on mine too which is why I decided to do something myself. Glad I did though sice tasker is such a great app, now using it for some other stuff too
By the way, I got a few notifications for messages on my tablet so someone must have used the project and forgot to change the receiptient device. That might be why it's not working you can change it by opening the scenes then editing the buttons that send messages. In the "tap" tab I think it is, click on the tasks that send the messages and make sure you select your device from there. You will have to have added it already though in AutoRemote by clicking on the devices tab, then add and use the URL from the device you are adding. Any other questions fire away, I'm still quite new to tasker though but I'll try my best.
Here are the example on how you can do it a bit more efficiant.
Dont forget to change the receiptient device in the "Send_Tther_Device" task on phone and in "SMS_Reply" scene on hu.
I've been trying out the tasker files you listed nanab. It definitely works but only once in a while. Autoremote seems extremely delayed or never sends the message. I tried forcing the connection between wifi/bt but it seems to not make a difference. Long texts from the HU back to the phone seem to anger it as well. Messages and notification reach the HU well but from HU to phone has issues. I will usually be able to send one and then it stops working. Any suggestions or tweaks I can make?
This has been helping me learn some tasker stuff so thanks again.

can you make a tutorial step by step thank you
At the first try it works for me but after restarting the engine i don't get any message to the car unit anymore
My Phone tolds me that the message was successfully send to the Car Unit but it doesn't get them.
After a lot of reconnecting in Autoremote it works again but only until the car unit was restarted.
Has anybody found out another solution?
