Cant Change Default Ringtone

I upgraded my HTC to this rom and now I cannot change the ringtones. I copied my .mp3 ringtones in my documents/my ringtones and can see my ringtone but when I select from phone options and say ok it goes back to default ring tone.

I have associated .mp3 with windows media player using total commander.

I was able to change the ringtones earlier in WM5.

Please help..

Streaming Media problem

I'm having issues with this ROM and using Streaming Media, specifically from the YouTube mobile site (don't know any others that work to try).

Is anyone on T-Mobile UK able/willing to test this and let me know if theirs works? Also, if anyone on another network could confirm if the app works (no disrespect to your amazing cooking skills intended vp3G!) then I can start narrowing the problem down between ROM/Network/Setup.

Thanks.

With WM5 and WM6 I've never used ActiveSync to setup my exchange syncing... I exported the certificate to a DER file and keep on my storage card. Install the certificate, open ActiveSync on my device and go from there.

(I don't use Notes and I keep my Favorites on my SC so I only use the cable to flash and copy new cabs...)

Internet Sharing and ActiveSync at Same Time

Well I don't know if you all know so I figured I'd post it.

I found out this weekend that it is possible to do both. I was using the Bluetooth for an internet sharing connection when I noticed my battery on the phone was at 10%. So I decided I would connect the USB and switch IS connection. well I notice the phone connected to activesync so kept it that way. Active Sync and Internet Sharing at the same time.

Well for those who didn't know here you go.

Hey guys great release. I have one more question. How do you load the extras that you have provided. Basically where do I have to put these cab files to get them installed.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
Get a Stoarge Card! (and not a $9 one either, ehehe!)

Make a folder on it to store your cabs and install them from there. This is also useful as you can have Pocket Outlook save its attachments there and you can also have PIE store its cookies, history and temp files there. Also your pictures and videos.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hermes:
Yea i put the cab files in a folder under my documents on the device. on the device i can only see a remove program option. Where can I go to install...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
Where do you find the certificate? How can I geta hold of that? How do I find out what certificates are already installed on the device? I'd like to try your suggestion. Any help would be most apprecited. I moved to vp3G's ROM from the official AT&T ROM and essentially setup my Exchange from my device. Everything seemed to go well but syncing is very intermittant (it doesn't sync "as new items arrive",). All other operations on the phone work fine. No lockups or anything.

Unable to Answer Phone

I am not sure if this is ROM related, Radio related or HTC Home related, but occasionally (every couple of days) when my phone rings and I answer it show connected but cannot talk or listen. I hang up and caller calls back and same thing. Takes SR to finnally make work. It seems like the phone has low signal strength until SR. Happens on all Radio versions and newest ROMs. Makes me want to set up a program to SR the phone on a dailly schedule......

I know similar posts have been made but did not see any cures.:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
Well, I have my ringtones (mp3's) in the Windows>Rings directory. I suppose the process is the same but try this. Once the files are loaded into the directory, choose the "Menu" option (right soft key) and select "Show all Files" and then hit refresh. Now go back to your phone options and they should be there. If not, thry putting them in the Windows>Ring directory and follow the same process.

@nthdgreee:

Open Internet Explorer on a PC syncing with Exchange, then select Tools, Internet Options, Content. Then select Certificates, Trusted Root Certificates. Find your Exchange server and select Export. Accept the defaults and copy this file to your storage card, then double-tap the file in File Explorer. The cert. wil install and you should be good to go... Or, you can ask your network admin. for the cert. file...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nthdgreee:
Toyfreak,

That did the trick. I founds 4 certificates when I followed your above instructions. I just grabbed all of them, and then installed them. Once installed I deleted my server setup and rebooted my 8525. After reboot I setup the exchange server parameters once again, attempted to sync and...bingo, it was working.

Thanks for the great advice and willingness to help.

ps A coworker of mine had a similar problem (t-mobile wing) wouldn't sync but every few days. We did the same process and now his works fine as well.

I really need help with this ringtone issue... Please Help....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Only thing that comes to mind is make sure hidden attribute isn't set on the files you're trying to use.

Also try the Storage Card if you have one. I've just tested an mp3 from "My Documents" and "My Documents\My Ringtones" on my SC. I don't think placement is the issue in your case considering they're appearing in the drop-down.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
I'll look into it. Mine seems to have adopted some strange meter behaviors as well since installing the HTC Home plug-in.

EDIT: Attached cab contains the original power modules from the AT&T 3.57 ROM. Note: No uninstall.

help with the file

im prety new to this but wen i download the rar file and unzip itit opens up these 2 files and i cant open either of them because i get the error message saying failed to instalize do i put these files in my fone or wat do i do?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GldRush98:
1) Proper spelling, grammar, and capitalization would be a good start.

2) Maybe you should read through the 894 posts BEFORE your post to give you an idea on what to do. If you still are unsure, please don't flash your phone. You'll more then likely only damage it since you don't know what you're doing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
You're such a stickler... :D

But yeah, spare yourself -- don't flash your fone, "kid".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hangon:
I have looked at the file properties and it's not hidden, but one thing I noticed when I browse to the folder My Document\My Ringtones and I can see the file associated with "Windows Media Player" when I double click on the file it opens Windows Media Player and displays "System cannot find the path specified". I tried even copying the file to root folder of the storage card still the same result..

Stayunlock

Thanks for the great ROM! Today I converted my Hermes to work with the corporate email system and it locks every 15 mins. I tried to install and run the program zenyee stayunlock. It seems to be running but not working - any clues?

Also do you know what registry setting changes the 15 minute lock value as I can't seem to find it in any of the control panel applets.

Silly question, but...

Forgive me for this silly question vp3G, but after I flash this ROM, should I see any new files in the Extended ROM? (Or more precisely, shouldn't the old files have been deleted?)

Seems like the old files I had in Extended ROM are still there. I'm just wondering if I should have wiped out all of the old files there before flashing.

Excellent ROM btw! Kudos!

Power Drain

Just an FYI,

I installed wpBear's proxy cab, and my device started draining power faster. I don't know why, I guess because the radio may have been doing more work or something. I am testing now to see if anything changed. I mean like within 10min of disconnecting the external power I was at 80% of my battery. I know that when I first installed VP3G's rom I could about an hour or so before I was at 90%.

But if you all are already having trouble with power consumption this is not the answer.

Corp. Emails

You know I couldn't figure out the why I couldn't use the BBC. I kept getting that a signal was available but it wasn't registering. Then on the desktop I kept getting that the exchange wasn't properly provisioned. So I just figured I'd use Cingular Xpressmail. Got it installed and during work hrs I get my work email on my device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Dr Puttingham:
OK... I'm sure somebody's going to slap me but I'm just really confused... You installed a Cingular ready customized ROM... then you installed wpbear's cab (made for Cingular) ... are you on a Cingular network? If so.. why did you install wpbear's cab? Also... WTF are you??? If in the US of A Cingular's 1.40 has seemed to had better power comsuption (and with me and mine, quality of sound) ...

Just curious... but I'll still sleep if I don't get an answer...

vibrating alert

Not sure if this is the proper location or my question, but...

Is there a way to change the default 3 pulse vibrate alert (for SMS and Voicemail alerts, etc) to something longer like the original default one on AT&T 8525.

I sometimes have trouble noticing a text when it only does the 3 quick vibrates.

Many thanks.

i am currently using vp3G's WM6 v3.0.

Phone dialer screen question.

Is there a setting (registry or otherwise) to make the phone dialer screen default to displaying only the 'speed dial' entries.

By default, my vp3g v3.0 BB connect version defaults to 'calls and contacts'.

So I have to select 'Menu->view->Speed Dial', to obtain only my speed dial entries
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Iridious:
Excuse me Dr. Puttingham, but I have been trying to figure out why my cingular 8525 is recognized by my WMDC as a TyTN but I can't. Any way to address your issue I am a little new to this whole thing.

So, Dr. Can you figure that one out. I did use the WWE version vp3g's rom.

There is a battery status issue in a post a few back for this ROM. I dont see any others stating an issue with my cab and battery use. I have no batt issues on my personal device either. I did the imediate SR so the ROM is ATT-less. Then I run my cab to install ATT WAP and proxy.

On a side note what are peoples avg time to open the Windows Dir under this ROM. It seems to take forever for me with this ver.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Iridious:
You know I am using that increase battery life option. I am just used to at least 30-45 min before I notice any drain. I got ten minutes after installing the first two cabs. I was just using the process of elimination when it came to the problem I was having. I was a little for the battery discussion but I figured I could still join in. Any way I don't have your full cab installed. It's great, a bit much but I think if you and vp3g got together you all would make an excellent rom.

HTML in WM6 Outlook

My understanding was that WM6 Outlook would display HTML mesages correctly. Not the case in vp3G's AT&T ROM. Is this a misunderstanding on my part, or is this a ROM issue?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Pretty sure it's fine coming off a fresh HR. Mine is down to a crawl currently and I'm not sure where it crept in. Unofficially blaming the HTC Home plug-in, atm...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Which option would that be?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
It does, but not if you're hooked to Exchange 2003. It's a 2007 thing with Exchange accounts. HTML works fine for other accounts, so let's not be fingering the ROM... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Change the default? Not to my knowledge. But, d-pad left (or down) is a much quicker route to the speed dials than going through the menu. ;)

Still Ticking

I have the HTC Home plugin with Tab settings and the version .7 HTC Home Customiser running and the windows directory opens in about 3 sec. Not bad.

I had/have an issue of not being able to answer calls sometimes (looks like it has answered yet no connection and eventually disconnects) so I decided to not use any data connection such as Edge or 3G except manually for short email downloads or weather updates. I fully charged the phone last night and now 9 hours later (maybe 6 phone calls) I am still at 100% battery. Yesterday after similar usage but with data connected most of the time I would be at 50%.

Well i think i have solved my issue. I downloaded a new copy from the first link and installed it over the one i had on there. The flash window identified the new version as vp3g 3.0xxx while it said the original software was just labeled vp3g with no version number. I believe that was downloaded from the sendspace link. It appears the sendspace link needs to be deleted or upgraded to the correct version.
