qwerty12, thanks for posting this.

Before I install, a couple of questions :

I presume I need to have shortcutd installed for this ?

Which directory do I install it to ?

Once installed, do I run a.out once off only?

Do the changes persist through reboot ?

How do I uninstall, should I need to ?

(Sorry to push for details, but I'm a linux noob. I'd love to learn more - neurosurgery is just keeping me a little busy ATM )

No. Unless you turn off "Use the camera key" in Shortcutd's settings, they'll most likely conflict (nothing adverse, just Shortcut'd would also execute its configured action).

Of course, the ideal course of action would be to integrate it into Shortcutd itself as I have no plans to work on this - and that is what I was doing, but I couldn't figure out libdbus and went back to my beloved DBus-GLib. I'm also glad I didn't as being able to use the camera key seems to depend on what position the moon is in...

Doesn't matter, as long as it's not /home/user/MyDocs.

Nope, you'll need to run it after each reboot(and leave the Terminal window open... unless you run it with nohup).

Hmm, still no good solutions? I'm seeing many other threads related to this bug now.

I am fasing the same problem too. I tried flashing my device. Seems to be fine for a few minutes or hours i must say. Then suddenly after a few reboots etc, back to the same old situation where the phone light turns on and after approx five seconds (2 rings on the callers side) the phone starts ringin.

I assume by 2 rings you mean two cycles (ie ring ring, ring ring) because in my experience its perfectly normal for most phones to not ring for 2 rings (caller side), even landline phones. Its simply lag between call initiated and received.

However the N900 does have real problems in PR1.2 with calls. I almost always now seem to get the phone ringing, the screen lights up as I take the phone out of my pocket, then it turns off again and I am left trying to get it to come out of standby so I can answer the call.

Why there is this obsession with NO buttons on touchscreen phones I do not know. I would much prefer it to be like the N97 or 5800XM where you at least have pickup/hangup buttons so you do not have to rely on the touchscreen.

Well you are right about the rings as cycles. Well I own an N95 too with this. So I actually can make out the difference. If anyone tries to give u a miss call, and the ring cycle is less than 2 cycles, the phone doesnt register a miss call while my N95 does it. Well I aint trying to be picky or something but i do understand that this firmware has a lot plugins for it to go through before registering the call on the phone. But I guess it is some software or some package causing the problem coz if i reflash the device, the phone will ring before the the second cycle starts.

Hi, recap your case. I found 'per-contact-ringtones' in your installed list. May be you should remove any contact related packages like that for now, as it's reported that it has issues with the delay until next update.

Also, my further recommendation to you is that if your calls are very important then you should really take extra care when installing anything from extras-devel or extras-testing as they'd put your phone into very unstable status. For me I'd test the most critical functions prior to attending to some important business trips as I play heavily on the extras-repo like you.

Guys, I know what I may say may sound extremely silly, as i found it doesnt make sense either. 2 weeks back,I flashed (rootfs and eMMC) my N900 which was a lil annoying at that point cause it had got friggin slow. So after all the things were done, (Restored backup etc) it was still havin the sucked up telephony. Yesterday I installed the update of the Custom per Contact Ringtone (I guess thats the name) and the updated actually screwed everything. when the phone came, there was no ringtone in the general mode at all. So after the uninstallation, it seemed to be ringing faster than before. Rings before the first cycle on the callers side. I have no clue what has happened or why this happened. The custom ringtones does not work on my mobile now even if i reinstall them, but who cares, it fixed something that I needed to get fixed badly.

Also My mobile is overclocked by titans kernel at 850 MHz

Get back from overclocking and see again. Overclocking is good but sometime may not work well.
