Hello!
Something I noticed here is that the profile 'general' it does not vibrate beyond the delay

Unfortunately too many problems, need to fixing...

Re: Custom ringtones for your contacts [in Extras-Devel]
 

I have tested it by putting on my desk and phoning it.

The light comes on, because the call is incoming. That takes 1-2 seconds. Then blackness for another second as the useless N900 tries to realise what to do with the call. It then flips into phone and you see the contacts face and the red and green buttons. Nothing is sounding at this point, no vibrations. The phone then stays silent for about 8-10 seconds, I think it depends on the location of the mp3 file. Longer for one on a memory card than the phone memory but both still around the ten seconds mark.

Then the phone rings with the ring tone. So it is very good but at around 15 seconds before I hear it. I then would normally have to fish in my pocket to get it out. (Five seconds) And then again to get it out of it's case (Another five seconds) Which usually uses that stupid and horrible Nokia built accelerometer for portrait and landscape mode of the phone. So the mp3 cuts out as the screen re orients itself with the movement of me taking it out the pocket. That takes five seconds. Once I finally get back to potrait to click on the green button. There is now no sound and I don't know if I have answered or not. Assuming most of my friends have not already hung up I can speak to them, at 30 seconds before I get to speak to the person calling me.

Anyone know of a way to stop the phone orienting itself. If I answer the phone I just want it as portrait, who answers it in landscape anyway? The CPU can't handle moving the screen and playing noise despite claims to multitasking. If you remove that feature you might get more speed out of the ring time searches. That would save 13 seconds for me.

that is why this app is in extras...

i updated the n900's libraries, works better, still needs work for by the time i call and the time it rings on the other hone is abolut 3 or 4 then goes to voicemail. this may depend on the network though, i called from tmobile to at&t and there was a definite lag.

i was 8 rings in before i heard anything on the N900, and i think this happens even with stock install. this would explain why my wife always has missed calls. shes using the n900 on at&t's network.

If the problem is the slow mmc , why don't the developer make a copy of the mp3 in some tmpfs filesystem and point to there. It should be no delay, at least not for some read device delay.

I had to uninstall this app, as much as I wanted it. I call and the first few rings don't register on the phone. This is my experience will cell networks in general. Then, the rings will go thru my .BT headset, for a few rings, then the last ring, around number 8 plays on the N900.

Usually, before this app, the first few rings would not ring the N900, then the rest would play on the N900 AND the BT headset. Uninstalled and everything back to normal.


I'll be watching for this bug to be fixed because this will turn out to be one of the major killer appz when it is ironed out.

My N900 auto-updated this application yesterday, and after that it does not play any ringtones. I had noticed the call-delay bug earlier (Recaller notices the incoming call several seconds before the phone app appears and the ringing begins), but now it plays no ringtones at all. Uninstalled & everything is back to normal.

If the call-delay bug wasn't there, I'd go back to an earlier version of the app :/

I also noticed that the delay bug is solved but no more ringtone is played! Why?!

Re: Custom ringtones for your contacts [in Extras-Devel]
 

Besides the delay for ring, i noticed that phone doesn't vibrate on any other ringtone. Uninstalled now all is fine. If those problems fixed, it's going to be a nice application.
