Is there any way to change the ring tone that Windows Mobile reverts to? It always plays that awful Windows Default.wav even though I've tried pointing the DefaultRing registry value to a different file.

I suppose I could always copy over the file...

Yes, I think Mort gave up on this project... it's a pity 'cos it's an awesome prog under 2003SE.

On Dopod 818 pro (WM50), my sms tones work under the categories I assigned. But the ring tones do not. So I installed MS voice command that will announce the incoming call.... sort of a work around.

Beep sound/ Vibration

I've been using MortRing for about a week now and it was working fine. Two days ago it suddenly stopped playing the ringtones! Instead of playing a ring (mp3, wav, wma) it plays a short "tap" sound and vibrates, just like it would be in silent mode! If I exit MortRing everything works fine and i am not in silent mode so what's wrong?! It's like I'm missing something...

Anybody else encountered this problem?

MortRing modify SMS sounds?

Been using MortRing forever, Previously on my BlueAngel, now on a Wizard. I love it, it works well and my only complaint up til now about it is that it seems to read EVERY file from the windows directory as a possible sound file rather than JUST sound files... No big deal. I can find my own filenames

However, I have stared using MMS as well as SMS msgs on my phone. And while MortRing handles the SMS messages... It doesnt modify sound for MMS messages. Most likely, I am assuing due to the fact that the the MMS application in the default TMo rom for the wizard is actually a third party app, but it would still be great if it handle it.

That aside.. thanks for the app, and good job...

I have a problem with changing default path. I do change it to Windows\Rings and paste some wav file there, soft reset the device, but Mort still cannot see that file of mine. It keeps displaying all wav files located in \Windows without that one in \Windows\Rings. Moreover..if I changed the default path..why there are any files outside \Windows\Rings shown?

using my original QTEK S200 rom..

Before making any changes I was able to do the following:

For the standard ringtone of the phone I could choose any file in either the /windows/rings or the /storage card/

In contacts I could assign specific ringtones to contacts but it could only see the files in the /windows/rings directory.

- After installing mortring the same things applied, only mortring could only see the items in the windows/rings directory.

- After changing the directory in the registry to /storage card/ mortring can now see all files in the /storage card/ directory, but I can't select any ringtones when I go in the the option for the phone.

After a long time, finally a new update...

What's new:

- WM5 support - at least it works fine on my Asus P525 with phoneAlarm...

- Option to play WAV files for SMS alerts or on incoming calls by MortRing. This allows e.g. to play a custom SMS signal, while phoneAlarm is set to "<silent>" and repeated vibrate, or to play a WAV with the callers name during the (silent) intro of the system's ring tone

- Execute programs in SMS filter

Mort,

Somehow on my device (Prophet using the Qtek S200 ROM), the incoming call tone does not work. When I tap recent number, it shows (unknown), and the tone I set for *number supressed* plays even though the caller is in my contacts list. Tried both simple number check and enhanced number check.

What am I doing wrong? I've put the rings in my \windows\rings folder. And in my reg, under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring, the directory is set as \windows.

Also, I can't play the tones from within Mort. Clicking play does not give any sound for wav files. For MP3 files, it opens windows media and gives the error: The system cannot find the file specified.

What does play sounds internally do? Checking or unchecking it does not seem to make a difference.
[General Topics] Mort:
If there's nothing in front of "(unknown)", the system doesn't pass the number of the incoming call. Either it's supressed by the caller, or there's a bug in the implementation of the device's telephone API.

There's a small error when I create the file with path (forgot the \ in between...). The error's only in preview, incoming calls or SMS should work fine though.

If checked, MortRing plays the sound itself. This works only for WAV files (at least on most devices) and "program notifications" must be checked in Sounds & Notifications. In this case, the system's handling is not modified, so the MortRing sound and the system sound might be played at the same time. This allows e.g. to configure phoneAlarm so it handles vibration and LED according to the profile, but doesn't play any (fixed) sound - that's done by MortRing. Or you could play the callers name while a MIDI file is playing...
[General Topics] Putra:
The prob should be with a bug in the device's API as all numbers are listed as "unknown". Is this device specific? Because if I remember correctly, your (old) prog works fine on my Xda2 running WM5.0. But it has never worked for the ringtones for my Prophet. The sms tones, however, are working fine.

Hi,

I have a question, How deal others program, like RinGO Pro, with changing sounds to each contact or event?. I mean, MortRing deals with it changing dinamicly the WindowsCE registers to get sound changed.

Using this method MortRing get stuck when more than houndred contacts must be processed by it. I don't know if RinGO Pro have this limitation but I care about the most optimal algorithm and/or way for change sounds.

Someone knows if MortRing and RinGO Pro are compatible with Palm SMS threaded program?.

[General Topics] V J:
Hello,

Just tried the MortRing application, and it is a nice application.

An interesting feature would be to allow for multiple profiles with different ringtone setups. Suppose 2 categories (A and B), and a couple of ringtones (including silent). It would be convenient to set:

profile1: A => ring1, B => ring2

profile2: A => ring1, B => silent

...

and then be able to switch easily between the profiles (this would allow for a easily customizable call filter).

I am quite used to such a functionality from my previous phone (Nokia), where I had profiles for work (only calls from work-related numbers), family, night (no sms, limited filter).

Because there's no way to access that field with EVC4. I'd have to update to DeveloperStudio to do that, but that would cost some money, cause a lot of work for migration, and bring incompatibility with systems older than WM5.

not working well for sms

i'm using Mortring in my Dopod D810 (Trinity). Set a contact to play a specific sound when a sms arrived from the said contact.

but when a sms arrived, the sound file will be played (together with the profile sound set under PhoneAlarm) and then, the WMP 10 will be activated and an error message saying something about the path not valid blah blah blah.. any idea why or what have i done wrong??

also, just to clarify, i can only select the sound files found in Window, right? cos' i moved the file to 'My Documents' and it is not displayed in the list for selection.
[General Topics] Mort:
Hm, maybe you set a sound file as application to run in the SMS filter?

MortRing only runs WMP to "preview" MP3s and WMAs in the ringtone selection, there's no invokation anywhere else. But invoking an audio file might cause something like that...

Yes. That's because WM doesn't support anything else. Technically, I could have offered different paths when the WAV files are played internally, but usually the files are located there anywhere, and it would have caused troubles if the "play internally" option was unchecked.

Hi Mort

Somehow, MortRing work well for 1 - 3 sms after I deleted this 'Smsfilter' file (tho' 0Kb) from the folder.. then the same problem happened again. This is after I install the Softkeyapplet and soft reset the phone.

Now, even if i delete the 'Smsfilter' (which appear right after I open the 'Sms text Filter' option, even if I didn't set any rule there) file from the folder, the same thing happens - Window Media Player will be invoked to play the sound file.

Any other HTC P3600/Trinity/D810 users face the same problem?

So far, I've only assign a sms tone for one contact. But other contact suddenly has the same sms tone. Checking MortRing doesn't show the sms tone assigned.

DEFAULT RINGTONE-Problem Solved

Hi Guys!

Yes, this is my first reply, so Hi to everyone. I had been playing with XDA and Mort's software for almost fives days now (A very big thanks to him) and what I wanted to do was "as the available memory in XDA is limited and I wanted to use my Storage card as the base for rings". Now the problem was "even after changing the registry key just like Mort advised us to do on the very first page of this thread, it will still keep on playing the 'default' ringtone', which frustrated me a lot. May be there is an answer somewhere but so far "It was like 'tough luck'. Anyways so all you guys who want to use this and have this problem, please follow this but remember:

My self or any one in this forum does not take responsibility in case it funks up your PDA, please do it at your own risk and always remember to back up, so that in case it doesn't work, you can restore your system-ALTHOUGH I am sure it will work.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY XDA BUT CHANGING THE VALUES IN REGISTRY MIGHT HAVE ITS OWN repercussions - and I am sure everyone must be already aware or it.

Offcourse you have to use EDIT REGISTRY SOFTWARE

GO TO \HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER

In simple words click on + sign before Hkey_local_Machine and scroll down and click on + sign before system and scroll down and this time do not click on + sign but on actual “Storage Manager" and you would see two entries, click on PNPUPLOADDELAY : Mine was set up to 15, all I did was changed it to "0" and tried the mort rings software again and guess what? It works just fine.

Thank you very much every one

Mort Ring Category Problem

Hi,

Mort Ring seems to be the best program for solving the caller id / ringtone issues on my I-Mate JAM. The photocontacts program (IA-Ringtone) stopped working for reasons unknown to me--perhaps the threshold for contacts was reached (200+) I'm not sure, I never counted.

I can not get Mort Ring to work so that I can create my own contact categories or even use the given categories. Steps:

* I bring up the icon from my PDA tray (mort ring icon)​

* I open categories and attempt to create a ring tone for the Business Category. It should be noted that on the Outlook Contacts feature of both the phone and the PC, the categories are business, mobile, personal, pager, work etc.

* I try to assign a tone (using the Mort Ring Category Feature) to that which is most familiar (Business) but alas when I move into my Contacts feature of MortRing, there is a box with a blinking cursor, which says "Category" (the perfect place to enter a category or have a pull down menu) at the lower right of the screen. No text is ever accepted when I try to enter it there. Strange....no pre-existing categories from the Mort Ring Category Feature are ever listed there as well. Just a big beautiful perfect place to enter things or select things but yet zero functionality for me.

* I attempt to type in my own category or Business (from the existing limitation) and the blinking cursor box will do nothing. No text ever enters this box. (Redundant from above but underscores the point)
​

​

​

The obvious convenience of having pre-assigned ringtones to existing categories,is that it saves the user the trouble of assigning ringtones to each individual contact, especially if identifiers such as friend and work are used or Personal and Business. This can easily preassign a tone to over 50 contacts.

Since I can't get it to work, or figure out if it does not work----Can anyone explain via screen shots how the Categories feature should work (for dummies)? Again, under contacts (mortphone feature), I've got no capacity to enter any category information or to use the existing Categories feature in any manner.

Tech Notes: Imate Jam, Pocket PC 2003. Jam with latest ROM. Latest version of Mort Ring being used but all other versions evidenced the same problem with Categories.

I've deleted the Photocontacts program (IA-Ringtones) from my system.

Also for those of us new to the program, once again what are the best steps to install the program. I know we open the zip, hit the executable while Jam/Phone is docked to PC. It installs to Windows directory on Pocket PC but what then?

Do we still need to open messaging and close messaging? Do we need to soft reset after the install? If for some reason the program reverts back to the global ringtone selected in the Jam Phone feature, do we need to somehow jostle MortRing back on via the icon, soft reset etc.

Let me know.

Regards,

ralph.savage@gmail.com
[General Topics] Mort:
Finally a new beta...

Now, when you have at least WM5, there's an option to update the contact ringtones instead of fetching incoming calls. Be aware you can manage your ringtones only with MortRing when you're using it. MortRing will also update the ringtone of any contact created or modified as long as it's running or at the next start.

Since it's still beta, I'd recommend to do a backup of your contacts first.

@RalphSavage: The category info in the contacts management is just an information, so you can retrace which category ringtone is used. To assign ringtones (or SMS signals) to categories, there's the category dialog (just above "Contacts" in the popup menu).

MortRing so far only uses the already assigned categories, there's no way to edit the contact.
