Hi everyone,
Just recently picked up the O2 xda 2s unit, given to me free of charge by o2 for continuing my contratc with them. I must say im pretty impressed by the unit as a whole, yes it has its bugs but tell me which phone hasnt lol. I have SE P900 which likes to keep crashing on me every so often even though it has the latest firmware on it.
But anyways im new here and wanted to say hello and also ask a question that may have been asked before but i couldnt see it anywhere so here i am
Right is there any way i can put a different tone to the one that is already on there for the sms, mms and email alerts???. I couldnt see for the life of me anywhere on the pda where you could change the incoming tone alert unless im blind or something lol. On my P900 you can easily change or put any alert tone for your mms, sms and emails etc but so far havent been able to do that with my XDA2S.
So does anyone have any ideas if this is possible or not???...also not forgetting is there anyway the phone could be louder or vibrate when you have an incoming sms, mms or email as i tend to miss most of them when they do arrive.
Thanks for any advice
Hmmm so no one knows if they can do this or anything???
I have the t-mobile mda III so it might be slightly different with the menus however you might be able to make it work for yours.
As you wil know you are unable to select any other file than those already in the sounds and notifications menu however you can add an extra ring tone but that only works for phone calls.
As a work round when your phone is being connected to your pc you can explorer your device either thru my computer or Active Sync. This will then allow you go to the Windows directory like you would on a normal computer. If you then copy your file that you want as your sms tone to here you will then be able to select it from sound and notifications.
Another good one I found is that by changing the sound files in the windows folder you can also have a very nice sound everytime a menu pops up plus a whole host of different event sounds.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction as it works on the mda III
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.

Hi im trying to find a way of send a message to all my contacts, without typing each name individually into the sender box. Is there anyone that can help?
Thanks in Advance,
James
I came across this issue myself over christmas when I wanted to send multiple sms to certain contacts.
Sadly I couldnt figure out how to do it with the stock messaging app so I installed GO SMS and that done the trick.
While this is more than likely a missing feature I cant believe that google didnt include it as standard.
You just select a contact then tap back on and select another one?? Same as always
Or am I missing something? This is same as most phones

the way you describe is correct but can take ages if you want to add about 20+ contacts.
Google should of added a tickbox method or "select all" option at least
Yeah i wanted a bit of a quicker method. When trying to send contacts my new number this becomes too time consuming, ill ad the other app. Hope Android adds this feature on the next update.
Get groupy... it allows you to select multiple contacts and send a group message to them using the stock messaging app. It even allows you to select whole groups and send group messages to them...

So.. I really like that, when declining a incomming call, I have the option to not only decline it, but also choose between a couple of prefabricated texts that can be send to the declined caller.
But.. I would really like to be able to change these texts, since I dont think all are relevant to me.
Does anyone know where this can be done? Or better yet, do you know of an app?
P.S. I've been trying to search, but havent been able to find a post like this, despite that it seems like an obvious request, to me. So, if my search skills are null, please link.
Phone -> Menu button -> Settings -> Quick responses
Click the one you want to edit and you can edit it!
What I would really like to see is the ability to add custom texts as well......haven't found how to do that yet so far

Yep. Same here. It is in Cyanogen so I dearly miss that option...
hi,
i didn't get to finish the title. i just got a 5x, and previously have had an n5. both seem to have the same problem with the native android messaging app (used to be messenger, now it's android messages). anyway, if i'm talking on the phone, i get no audible notification of an incoming text. i get them for emails, map directions, etc, but not the texts.
i believe i tried this query a couple years ago, to no avail. i'm just checking to see if anyone knows of a setting i can try to accommodate this simple request, without having to download some third party messaging app.
thanks

When I'm on a call, I get a silence all notifications icon on the top of my phone. I prefer to not hear anything, I'd check in the phone app settings.
