How do I choose an MP3/WAV file for Incoming SMS alert?

I guess the title pretty much sums up my question but just to let you know what I've done so far I'll explain fully.
I've been dropping my audio files into the 'Rings' directory for my ringtones without problem. I can then assign these with Start-->Settings-->Phone.
However my dilemma arises when I wish to use a personal audio file as my incoming SMS tone. I've tried copying these to both 'Rings' and also to 'My Music' (although anywhere would be ok I'm sure?). When I try to select an audio file from Start-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications I can't see any of my audio files in the 'Event' list to choose for 'Messagin: New Text Message'.
Can you help? Thx in advance.

Try reading the instruction manual..
Start\Sounds & Notifications\Notifications Tab\
User drop down menu to get to Messaging: New Next Message.. Make sure the 'Tick Box' is filled in and use drop down menu to change sound.
If you desire a custom sound, put custom .wma sound into "Windows" on PPC.
Hope this helps..?
Cheers!

After searching for the present notification samples (namely Alarm1, Alarm2 etc...) and finding these within the windows directory of the handset I simply decided I'd store my audio files in the 'Windows' directory to see if they appeared in the 'Event' list.
Tada! I now have funky audio files for my incoming SMS tone. Hope this helps anyone else having difficulty with this problem.

As I mentioned I can change the Event sound for Windows actions but I want a personal audio file to be used instead. I since worked it out but you managed to get your reply in before I posted mine
I haven't got a manual btw it was an eBay PDA2K purchase and came with no manual a little annoying being a PPC noob but easy enough to use anyway. Just need to find some regedit tools now and see what's really under the bonnet!

It's not got everything but try here.. It's on the T-Mobile UK site..
http://www.manuals.t-mobile.co.uk/start.asp?manual=844

The online manual is VERY HANDY, thanks for that link *bookmarked*
I'll probably d/l the pages and reference images to use offline incase T-Mobile suddenly decide to remove the pages one day (knowing my luck this week).
I'm actually unable to register fully with http://www.clubimate.com as the PDA2K is pre-owned and consequently I need to pay $59.99 to get access to updates and downloads. Which unfortunately for me includes manuals and ROM upgrades. So again I can't thank you enough for the MDAIII link
You are a star!

I wouldn't worry about the clubimate registration as, if required, an i-mate ROM update would proabably be posted in here..
Regarding the Manual, it's probably best to made it usable off-line as I'm not too sure how long the On-line manual will be available.. They've recently stopped selling the MDA3, you know!
Enjoy the BA!

i was trying to do the same..but it doesn't seem to work
i copied both versions *.wma and *.wav..in /windows
but it still does not come in the list..though it comes in the incoming call list
im using wm5..though i doubt that should make a difference

hello??

seems no one knows !! i dont think its that tough?! i tried changing the registery value to the location of the file
still does not work

TyTN with WM6 lvsw 20070315 .

Yeah I'm running that myself. It's nice to have the GPS feature. It also lets you take photos using the front camera as well as the back (finally a built in use other then video calls) though the pictures aren't great so I use the 2mp cam instead. Still nice to have it. Also, new overlay templetes. The only thing I need to change on it is reports the photo as being taken on a Dopod (gotta fix it to read Hermes or TyTN) - haven't looked - it was probably in the registery entries I imported and didn't even bother to look

Hi guys at last some body talking about the camera, what I took notes about apart from the not a very good focus camera on the Tytn, I don't know if is a problem with the flash that is not synchronized with the shutter ,because if you take a picture ,has got the same light ,like it was before the high intensity beam that shine when some body press the camera button.If some of you gurus came have a .cab or fix were we can adjust the synchronization of the shutter with the beam will be wonderful.Thanks

It did that for me too when I was trying to run it from my SDCard. When I replaced the internal version with it, it worked no problem. Dont forget to import the new reg settings!

The worst is this version cann't use FLASH Light because it's from D810.....
Anybody can help

no strobe light function.

Hmm - never noticed - the flash is so weak I never use it - practically useless (imho). As a (lame) work around, if you really need a flash, you could use VJ canella to turn it on, take the pic and then turn it off?

I extracted the camera application from the latest Trinity ROM and it got several problems so I give it up. For example, Video function doesn't run and the photos taken with MMS mode are full of garbage. I believe that the Trinity camera is physically diferent to the Hermes one and the DLL's cannot be shared.
This version from Dopod got the same problems so I don't reccomend it. At least, if you use the files from the Trinity, you can use the flash.

The file is not working
I downloaded this file on 3 dif computers and they all say the zipped file is corrupt, is there something im missing?

Hi,
I’ve just upgraded my SPV 3100 with Camera 4.02, seams that something is wrong witch colors !
To get near to real colors, I must set contrast, hue to max setting ??!!! and the colors are far from those which I got in previous version of camera software.
BTW the sepia effect is BLUE ???!!! & it’s impossible to use front camera
Did anyone got similar problems ??
Is there somewhere “old” HTC camera software available ???
I prefer avoid of hard reset

If you have installed the 4.02 version on SD the previous version 4,00 she still works like before.
Simply launch the program camera.exe from \windows.
The two versions coexist.
BTW : Camera400.zip from LVSW 20070408.

I think it is not possible, coz vcandella uses driver/hardware to put light on, but at the same time is not possible to do this on two programs. you can use light with vcandella or with original camera application. try to use vcandella and run camera - I think error message will appear - hardware is used or something like that...

Yes, you're missing a normal archiving program. I'm guessing you use Windows' builtin "Compressed Folder" crap - it doesn't work with all ZIP files. Try WinZip or WinRAR or IZArc, the latter being completely free (I use it).

GPS Capture

Like many of you i am sure an attraction of this device was the GPS function.... now i was wondering does anyone know of a program that can use the GPS to record the longs and lats and dump them to an xml file when a button is pressed? For example i take a photo, it has a timestamp.... i then take the long/lat with this program and save it to an xml then when i get back i can link it all up and then plot it to a map where i was and what it looked like... Anyone? Or even an automated way to take a GPS location save it to an XML and link it to a photo for example.
But really what i want as a barebones is just away to press the screen and dump the location to a txt or an XML with a line or so of writing so i can link it to what i was doing or where a location is.
Anyone?
Would anyone find this useful or is it just me?

For GPS exif data take a look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560

ok then that looks great howevs does anyone have a fix for making the minutes in lat and long differ? or have any info on a possible fix or another program?

Its the seconds that appear to be the issue, not the mins
strange though with the HTC Artemis P3300 it works fine but with the O2 XDA Orbit or the T-Mobile MDA C III it messes up, not found anything as yet to address this though - Mike

Check out the GPS Tuner website. http://www.gpstuner.com/
They also have a free program called "Map Calibrator" which I think does what you want.

Hmm i wonder can anyone extract the camera app and stettings etc of the P3300 to try it on the XDA/MDA?
And Mike you are right im sorry it is the seconds that are just coppied between each other.

I doubt the GPSTuner application can do this functionality, what we are talking about is embeding the Lat/ Long information directly in to a photograph taken with the onboard camera, its a nice application though all the same.
The GPS Software is the same on both the HTC P3300 and the MDA C-III (if you check the Exif info it lists them as 29.29.9.9 on either device - not got direct access to an O2 Orbit to check).
The Camera versions are the same but the Build number is different (24865 on the HTC P3300, and MDA C-III is Build 24724, will have to try "playing" around a bit more - Mike

If anyone wants to help, I've been putting together an application to fix this long/lat camera issue on the Artemis/Orbit
So far I have the following working
1. monitor a given folder on the device for new jpegs as they are created
2. query the satellites for the correct GPS long/lat values
3. update code to write to the EXIF GPS values for a given JPEG
I have a mixture of C# and C++ code, which I need to combine into a single application.
If anyone has C# or C++ skills and wants to help, then please PM me and I'll share what I have so far
I've also posted this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1217400#post1217400 post #54

Ah that seems to be a great idea i will eargerly await any info on it.
I still hope that HTC fix this issue would be a great not to have to use additional applications.

GPS/EXIF Camera Option WM6 - partly solved

since I've updated to O2-GER WM6, and enabled the GPS Option in the registry, it's not working any more as it does in WM5. I can take photos in that mode, but when I switch to it, the GPS is not activated as in WM5, and no exif data are available.
Anyone an idea?
Edit: I've posted a workarround in #7

Ahh it would be nice if this worked out because the lat:long on the old version of gps-photo taking in WM5 was broken.
Peter? Are you saying that it doesn't ind a signal so trips out? Have you changed any defualt settings for the GPS config? eg Com 4?

Also want to see the registry hack for this one.

Same settings as in WM5, and same registry entrys. I had hoped, that the lat/long buck would be solved, but the problem grows.
In WM5, you could see, that GPS would be enabled, if you change to that camera mode. - Flasching GPS-LED and runnig dots in the lower right corner of the screen during GPS.sync. That doesn't occur since WM6
The attached file is the WM5 registry entry !

Same problem here GPS photo mode do not work any more on wm6
the option is there but GPS does not work

This might be a solution for that problem
http://www.mobile2day.de/news/news_details.html?nid=11575
But it didn't work with my WM6 Orbit in the demo version.
I apologize that the Link shows only a german web site

Meanwhile I've found a workarround with the internal funktion.
The lat/long bug semms to be solved!
First I've enabled the P9 camera funktion.
When I start the camera the first time, a screen appears, where I am asked, where to store the images. It doesn't matter what I choose, but the 'don't show this message again' should not be marked.
When I now choose the GPS Exif mode, it works.
When I start the camera a second time, it wont work, if the screen where to store the images doesn't appear. So I have to choose the internal memory in the upper task bar. Closing the canmera and starting again, the desired sceen appears again, and the GPS funktion is working.
I've tested it with the O2Ger WM6

Hi can anyone fill me in here If I understand correctly you can take a photo in GPS mode.
I cant find this anywhere Iam still using WM5 not 6 so where can I find this capability, hope you can help..

Take the registry file, I've posted in #4, and add it to the xda registry, and in the camera menue is the GPS mod enabled. But ther is another bug in WM5, so You got a position error in east-west direction up to 1/2 mile

excuse me being stupid where is the registry i cant find it LOL

No matter!
The attached file camera_gps.zip in my post #4 in the beginning of this this thread includes the registry entry for WM5

What do you do with GPS embedded photos?
Hi guys,
I am able to take GPS photos with my HTC P3300. Could anyone please tell me what to do with them? Sorry for the STUPID question but can they be used as POI's for Tomtom? If YES, how?
Thanks for your help!

You can regard the place where You took those GPS photos in google earth.
These function is implemented in several pc viewers, e.g. irfan view.

I am with you guys so far but how and where do I paste it to . I cant find how to paste to the registry could someone help please
I imagine its easy and I am just being stupid but I cant work it out
Thanks

Thanks for your prompt reaction...
Is this the only thing we can do with these photos? I thought that we could use them with TomTom or other nav applications.... Please let me know. Thanx

You need a registry editor like Resco Registry
Go to HKLM/ Software/Htc/Camera/P9
and set enable to '1'
thats all

still doesn't work, i see the exifcamera icon in the setting of the cam and yes enabled the p9..but gps doesn't start. no blinking orange left led.
any updates fro wm6?

See my post #7. There I have described the workarround

i did it, but it didn't worked...so i tried it again.
i went with resco to the key and yes it was already enabled. so i put again 1 in de key and saved it over and damn NOW IT WORKS!
just one time till you turn the cam off (you can take as many pictures if you like), so as i understand it, everytime you want to do it you have to save the key again to use it.
Thanks a million dude, lets wait now for someone to solve it permenantly.

Well you also need to go in the camera settings and change the mode to "GPS Photo". Why on earth was GPS photo disabled on the O2 Orbit!!! They missed a massive opportunity there I think.

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard?

Do images rotate on turning the device without opening the keyboard? like on HD or Diamond? Because in my TP2, images do not rotate on turning the device as it is supposed to due to g-sensor .... isn't it? Does it have to be activated somehow or is it not possible in TP2 ... which will be strange.

by default rotation with gyro does not work on Rhodium.
You can use gyrator2 if you wish to enable this functionality.
Cheers,

I have the same problem. Screen rotates in opera, but not in Album.

same here, and gyrator is not the perfectly program for this... its slow, and it isn't integrated with WM after install. its just a stand-alone app what runs as the same way as other programs (you can also close it by taskmanager).
Also taksmanager doenst close programs by clicking [X] ?? (even when i select it)...

Attached regisry that will enable a lot of programs in G-sensor.
You also can edit by notepad to remove program that you are not like.

Well found! Very Handy
Thanks

I understand this works great. few questions:
Doesn't it slow the device?
What programs do you suggest to be rotating without the screen sliding out and what programs do you think shouldn't flip to landscape because it gets annoying?

The same question could be applied to many things HTC have done with the Rom on the Rhodium.
At the end of the day, do what we do best here, add the functionality that you want, then fix any problems that occur afterwards.
I haven't noticed any adverse affects using gyrator, as yet anyway.

thanks for any help

Doesn't it automatically display the picture at the maximum size? Meaning if it is a landscape picture it displays it in landscape and if it is a portrait picture it displays it in portrait? I actually prefer the way it is done in the new album which I am running on my FUZE.

i am still trying to get the gyrator to work on my pro2.
did you also have issues with the dotnet thing?

Hello, brilliant suggestion from bigjezza. Myself I'm trying to get Microsoft Reader to react to my phone's gyrations. However when I bring up Gyrator 2 the MS Reader app is not listed. Actually it never came up in my program-list in the first place even though it did install and runs perfectly. Had to stick a shortcut in the Windows/Start-menu.
Any suggestion on how to get MsReader onto Garator's list, or does anyone know what the relevant data is for MsReader just like that?
Many thanks/McHan
