MortRing - SMS notifications failing on SX66

Looks like a cool program, but SMS alert isn't working on my SX66.. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Phone Alarm (pocketmax) or MortRing. In the "Recent SMS" it shows the SMS and the ringtone I chose, but the ring never happens (this includes soft reset, telling phone alarm to not alarm on SMS and a number of other setting combos I tried). Any help would be welcome.
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: Mortring problem

No, at least not very reliable, and not with the current version.

The problem is: MortRing changes the same value as the profile programs. So, I could read this value when a call comes in and reset it when it's finished. But if the profile program modifies it during a call, MortRing won't notice it, and reset to the previous tone. Another problem are hangups. If your device crashes during a call, the MortRing tone would remain, and due to this be used as default tone later on (until it's corrected by the profile program).

I.e., it would be a rather risky and unreliable solution. That's why I stayed with fixed tones for "the rest".
[General Topics] Mort:
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. If there's no ringtone assigned, MortRing shows the ringtone that would be played (i.e. the one of "other contacts"). In this case, the "X" is greyed. If it's still active, I'll have to look about it...
[General Topics] Mort:
Did you enter the correct predials in the settings? They are required to find the contacts.

Sounds like an older beta... Did you download the latest one?
[General Topics] Mort:
Er, that's where you have to enter the predials for your country. Germany and USA are only examples. Simply put, it's whatever you dial instead of "+(your country code)" for local and "+" for international calls.

That's where it works... Just tap the phone icon in the tray (bottom right on the Today screen), and you'll get a menu to access all options...
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: MortRing - SMS notifications failing on SX66

I don't know about Phone Alarm. It could well be it does some disturbing stuff...

But maybe you simply disabled the SMS signal? There should be an option in Phone Alarm, if not, try changing it in the "Sounds and notifications" settings from Windows.
[General Topics] kev51773:
Ive changed my ring location to \Storage\Rings\ which works great

Is there any way to change the location of the SMS tones?

Ive had a good search through the registry for other instances of the text '\Windows\' and haven't found anything that looks right.

Very nice piece of sofware BTW. Far less buggy than photo contacts which used to randomly lose my ringtone assignments.
[General Topics] Mort:
Not to my knowledge...

If there is any, it will probably change the location for all other notifications (i.e. alarms, AS (dis)connect, etc.), too.
[General Topics] kev51773:
Thats what I figured. Thanks anyway Mort.

If only there were some pocketpc way to make symbolic links like in Linux, then none of this stuff would be a problem.

Mort,

I am in USA and have a Audiovox 6601 (HTC?) using Sprint service.

Windows Mobile 2003 2nd edition.

I have tried 0.91 thru 0.93 of your program and it will not seem to identify last incoming call, but it does identify last incoming SMS.

0.91 & 0.92 show nothing for a last incoming call number, while 0.93 shows debugging info refered to in a previous post.

I have not set anything for the international/local codes on your setup screen, would this keep the incoming number from showing up in the last incoming call pick?

Tone only happens once

Hi Mort

I had Mortring working great, apart from the contact refresh problem, but I put up with that. However, I needed to hard reset my PDA due to some faulty software and now I can't get mortring to work consistently. I set a tone for an SMS from a contact and when I get an SMS it plays the correct tone, but the 2nd SMS i get from them plays no sound at all.

Any ideas ?
[General Topics] TraumaTiger:
Hi Mort

I know your program is free, and I appreciate that a lot, but the contact refresh problem is now a major problem as I have installed photo contacts which looks like it refreshes the contacts everytime I run it (even if I don't make changes). This means that my sms and ringtone settings are reset on every soft reset of my PPC.

If you need any debug logs or settings, please let me know, or if you simply want to say "Tough, the program was free and works for most" then I'll have to accept it.

Hope you can help.

Hi,

My settings is 00 for + an 0 for local code

My number in outlook is formatted like this +33 (01) xx xx xx xx

Phone application shows +331xxxxxxxx

but MortRing play unknow ring.

This number is the third in MortRing contact settings.

Have i missed something ?
[General Topics] omarabdallah:
Mort, thanks for this great program. It works very well on my XDA IIi.

Is it possible to hide the MortRing icon from the taskbar?

Practically, I just set ringtones once at installation and then have very little use for settings on a day-to-day basis. I am therefore interested in removing the icon from the Today screen taskbar so that the display looks less clogged.

I am thinking that for users who hide the icon, they can simply go back to the program file and tap it to display the settings screen in the rare event that they need to adjust settings.

What do you think?
[General Topics] Mort:
It will if the number isn't transmitted exactly as it's listed in your contacts. I.e., if the transmitted number's +012345 and it's 112345 in your contacts, MortRing won't find it.

Otherwise it should work.

However, MortRing has just a few milliseconds to set the ringtone before the call app reads it. Due to this, if there are many contacts, it might be MortRing's too slow. Sadly, there's no way I know to work around that... (Well, MS documented some, but they don't work...)
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: Tone only happens once

Sorry, no. In theory, such a behaviour is impossible... :confused:

Is the "recent SMS" shown correctly?

I think I don't get your "refresh problem" correctly. Could you please send a step by step list what you're doing and how the result differs from your expectations?

It doesn't matter to MortRing if anything is modified in the contacts database. It's only read on startup and if you select "Refresh contacts".

Maybe there's some problem with saving the ringtone assignments. Could you check the file date of contacts.dat in your MortRing directory after you modified something in the contacts ringtones?
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: + troubleshooting ?

I experienced a lot of troubles with numbers in this format (e.g. I couldn't send SMS to them), and I noticed most users use +33 (1) xx xx xx xx format, too. That's why I don't support this format anymore. It's impossible for it to know whether the first digit after the opening bracket is part of the city code or not. But maybe I'll make it an option...
[General Topics] Mort:
I'll have to check on that... I think it might not be that easy...

Problem

Hello Mort, Thanks for all your efforts. I have a Audiovox PPC-6600. All of my incomming calls are playing the ringtone for the *number supressed* category. I suspect I may have something incorrect in the settings as my recent numbers log shows:

none4 - 260,3,04 - 256,5,24 - etc....

I am in the US and will likely never receive international calls, but I believe my settings should be as follows

011 for the international setting

and 1 for the predial digit setting.

When I dial a number that is not local to my city, I dial a 1 first, otherwise I just dial the normal 10 digits..

Can you help?

Thanks,

Andrew
[General Topics] b432291:
Lordbater, make sure you have 0.93b (Mort's latest) - that gets rid of the debug info found in 0.93.

Mort, I'm still seeing nothing in the "Recent number" pick from the Mortring menu - even after I've just called the phone. I get idle.

Is there a way for Mortring to display the raw value of the number being given to it?

My hunch is that the US is dealing with incoming numbers a little different than Europe and it's confusing Mortring.

Are there any US (prefurrably Sprint) users that are sucessfull with Mortring?

Update...

- SMS and ringtones can be (de)activated separately

- Alternative number search by using simply the last few digists (no country code troubles, but mix up people with same numbers and different predials)

- Option for +xx ( <local predial>xxx ) xxxxx number formatting

- If the shown sound for a contact is not directly assigned to the contact (i.e. retrieved by category), it's shown with "->"

- Removed "Idle" debug message

- Current SMS/ringtone is used if its emtpy for the fitting "*....*" category

Always play windows default ringtone

i am using mortright 0.94 on o2 xda IIi

i have tried to assign ringtone to categories and contacts but when there is a incoming call, it keeps playing windows default ringtone. i have tried to reset the device but still does not work. any idea what's the problem?
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: Always play windows default ringtone

If the correct number and ringtone's displayed in "Recent calls" (MortRing menu), it just doesn't work on your device. If there are too many contacts (or maybe some devices/branding?), the system's call program reads the ringtone before MortRing modifies it.

Otherwise, maybe the number wasn't recognized correctly. Please check the settings.

hi mort,

just dropping a line to say that i really like your prog! been keeping up to date with all your revisions / beta / etc. aside from the assigned ringtones per contact; i also like the sms tones that can be designated per person. in my case i travel a lot on business and my staff send sms's or call me directly. for sms what i did was make wav files saying "message from _____". that way i don't get confused with so many different tones.

cheers mate

feature ideas

Hi Mort,

I cannot imagine life without mortring :), it works great...and I have few ideas to make it even better ;)

see if you'll also like them:

* custom volume - absolute and/or relative (ideally with some conditions based on current volume)

* repeat sms sound - like "repeat each X sec/min but at most Y times"

* vibration on/off - or even fully customize ring/vibration like here

* profiles - well, that's maybe too much, but it would be great (+ possibility to set profile from command line so you can synchronise it with pocketzenphone)

Soft reset problem with Mortring

Hi!

Mortring 0.96 on Motorola Mpx, Windows Mobile for Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition SE (Second Edition).

After every soft reset the configuration panel for Mortring comes up. It is empty, no settings remembered. And it does not go away until select what I need and press OK.

Any way to make Mortring remember the settings and restart silently after soft resets?!

Thanks!
[General Topics] Mort:
Re: Soft reset problem with Mortring

Usually, simply pressing OK should do the trick. The values are saved the moment the dialog is closed. It seems your registry's a bit corrupt. You could check with a registry editor whether the settings are saved correctly in HKCU\Software\Mort\MortRing\Settings

Uninstalled, reinstalled. The problem remains: the registry looks like above when MortRing is running, but if I restart the machine, the settings screen comes on again, empty. I have to select the Rings and SMS again, otherwise the two last values in the registry become zeroes again.

I can't do anything about gregkovacs' problem. I'm just using default interfaces, but it seems the manufacturers don't care about them. As long as the default phone app works, it's fine, if the interface is buggy, the can say it's the fault of the one who's using it...

Version 0.97 works! The restart goes smoothly, MortRing appears in the tray area, the settings are remembered, no settings screens jump up. :!:

What have you changed, if it is not a secret? I mean, was it actually programming, or I could have done it myself by altering the registry or config files? :?

Anyway, thanks again!

Hi Mort, what a great program... I have the Photo Contact and I'm trying to remove it because the mort ring works beter. But I can remove it. I went to the add remove prog., deleted from everywhere but still appeare the program icon. Any susgestion?

Do you have a list of all your programs?
[General Topics] PRTEQ:
I can't istall the 0.97 it says that is not a pocket pc program. What I'm doing wrong?
[General Topics] Mort:
Something in-between...

I only checked whether the predials were entered, because they were necessary with the older versions, where only the "extended" check was possible. Now I check them only if the extended check is chosen and also display a message if they're missing when the dialog is closed.

If you mean how to remove PhotoContact - sorry, no clue. But I think there should be some help in this forum...

If you want to remove MortRing, the remove programs tool from Windows should work, maybe you need to exit with the tray icon first.

MortSaver's either a screen saver (display off) with button lock or a tool to avoid accidental power on (or both), depending on the settings. You should first check the "MortSaver options".

MortRunner's a batch language, similar to BAT files in DOS or shell scripts in unix. It's focus is to run and remote control other programs, so there's not much GUI and file handling available.

Currently not in English. After some server troubles I had and still have to redo my page (well, I wanted to convert it from 10 year old perl scripts to a modern CMS anyway some day...). Since I want to release several new versions of my programs soon (*), I'll fill my page one by one, hopefully having most of the PPC area filled until the end of this month.

*:

MortSaver 2.0: It's been in beta state for much too long

MortButtons 2.21: A small bugfix, and some speed improvement

MortRing 1.0: I think it's quite stable now, hope to have it in a releasable state soon

MortRunner 3.0: The latest beta's very stable and has lots of major improvements, like variables and subroutines.

MortPlayer 3.3: Well, this might take a bit longer. I did some changes for speed improvement, but they're a bit risky (multithreading's always a good chance to shoot yourself...). However, the current developer version seems to be quite stable, and I think there needs to be some prove of live, so if there are no troubles with the next beta version, I'll do a release before implementing new features (planned: user definable actions for long button presses, improved alarm clock, easy skin change with selection dialog, maybe CUE support).

Well, that's also a complete list of my current programs...

Hi!

Today I bought a brand new HTC One (not locked to any carrier) and I wanted to install ViperROM. I did probably something stupid, because I bricked the phone and I have no idea how to fix it (please note that this is my first Android, I was an iPhone user so far).

After following a guide how to root my device tried to install the latest viperROM and put it in the "download"-Folder on the device (I guess this was my mistake). When I tried to install the ROM in TWRP (version v2.6.0.1) the installation got stock with "Flashing Kernel". After waiting for 10 minutes or something I rebooted using "adb.exe" and tried it again (this time putting the ROM on an USB-stick and using an OTG-cable). This time the flashing ends up with:

Done!
Unable to mount '/cache'
Unable to mount '/system'

When I try to restart TWRP warns me that I have no OS installed. Normal booting gets stuck on the white HTC-screen.

I'm totally desperate. :crying:

Is there anything I can do to save my new device?
