In Holster/Out Of Holster with different ringtones...

I recently switched from a Bold 9000 to a new Torch 9800 with the new OS 6.0. On my Bold I could set one ringtone for In Holster @ one volume and a different ringtone @ a different volume for Out Of Holster within the same profile. So far this seems impossible with the new operating system. Seems I can only set one ringtone and one vibrate for each profile. Am I missing something?

You're not missing something; that functionality - which existed on the Curve model I had - was dropped with this version of the O/S on the Bold 9900.
I want it back; setting a different ringtone and volume for my alerts when in or out of the holster was incredibly useful for me - and I can't get over how this could have been dropped.

Can't Customize Multiple Contacts With Different Ringtones

I am copying this from a different Blackberry Forum sight I posted at. I can't get different ringtones for different contacts, I already got the phone calls but I want the text messages different just like I have the calls customized.
Ok, call me stupid but I think I am having the exact same problem as everyone else. I see absolutely no point in having the same ringtone for ALL text messages(or a max of 2 if you make a different profile/exception)... On the last 4 phones I have had I was able to use this function. Now days a lot of the consumers text more than they call other people (especially if they work alot). I can customize the ringtone by changing the profile(ex. Custom Tones) and making an exception(Custom Tones), but I can only do this for one person(Trevor). Yes, I realize I can add more than one person to that exception(Trevor, Mike, etc.) and still have the same ringtone(on that Custom Tones exception), but that does me no good. I don't want to have to group my friends together to the same ringtones. That makes NO Sense in the updated cellular world!
There is no way to make 20 different profiles and 20 different exceptions so that you can get 20 different ringtones for 20 people (yes all different TEXT Messages, I have all of the regular Calls customized). This is the question I would like answered by a Moderator if possible. You can do this on almost every other phone in the last couple years.
I have found out that I can make a separate EXCEPTION, and use the ACTIVE PROFILE (so it gets me the different ringtone as before, Custom Tones, but there is no way to adjust that specific person's ringtone, ***meaning other than the Custom Tones Profile***, since the Custom Phone Tune is the only thing you can change on that menu and it's phone calls only). If the phone had a Custom Text Message option under this it would work great, but it doesn't!
The only way I can see making a different text message ringtone is by setting one as MMS ringtone, one as SMS ringtone, etc. I want these all combined for EACH PERSON, like EVERY OTHER PHONE out there!
I am not dumb when it comes to technology, but this is really bugging me.

You are right, there is not an easy way to customize SMS, etc. for individual contacts.

HT1688 On my iphone 4 below the search window, I have three greyed out safari icons with different web links attached

I have a iPhone 4 8GB. I have three greyed out safari icons that doesn't say safari but a web link. It's like a bookmark to your homepage but not in your homepage. I noticed it when I deleted all my web pages and on that one web page where it says "search or type in a address" right below it where it's just all white, there's three grey looking safari icons with each one with a different web site that's attached to it. When I tap on it it goes to a specific website. For ex one if them says www.longchamp.com, the other macys.com. There's no way to delete it. The wired thing is each one in color it like three shades of grey . Light, med and darker grey icons. When I hold down the icon you can move it around but can't delete, nothing just nothing. It's been there for the longest time I can remember. Do you know what this is? I took a pic of it. I don't know how to attach it to this discussion. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Can I swap out defected iPhone with different color one

In november my friend purchased me a black iphone 5. It was awesome with No problems. Recently however, I have been experiencing a very short battery life. After a day of light usage sometimes my battery will dip below 5 percent. Now, I already tried disableing bluetooth, turning off data and wifi when not being used, and even turned down the brightness to half way. Because the iphone is certainly defected, when I exchange the iphone is there a possibility to swap it out with one of a different color, as the black one devolops scratches along the champhered edge like crazy, also ios 7 looks wayyyyyy better with the white iphone, it just blends into the device itself. Anyways, thanks for any responses

No. Apple will replace your iPhone only with an indentical model. If you want your iPhone to be a different color, consider a skin; those are available in a multitude of colors and patterns.
And just FYI, there are many causes of short battery life other than a hardware defect. Apps such as the Facebook app can use a lot of battery. While you may indeed have a failing battery, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and running with just the Apple apps for a while and then evaluate your battery life before concluding that there's a hardware problem.
Regards.

Different ringtone settings in/out of holster with 6.X software?

Hi,
With my Bold and 4.X software I was able to set different ringtone settings when the phone was in and out of holster. I used this to set it to ring really loud when it was in my holster at home, but not so loud when it was in my pocket during the day.
With my new Torch and 6.X software I can't find a way to do this. Is there any place where I can make these different ring notification settings for when it is in and out of the holster? All I can find is the ability to set it to make sound or not depending on the holster, but not different sound settings as I could with 4.X software.
Thank you,
---Karl

Selecting different ringtone for in holster in OS v5.0 for BlackBerry 8520

Updated yesterday to OS v5.0.
Previously in v4.7 it was possible to select a different ringtone for when the phone was out the holster and a different one for when in the Holster.
I cannot do that now with v5.0. All that I can now do is turn the ringtone off or on when in the holster but not select a different ringtone.
Is there any way of doing this like in v4.7?
THanks.

That should have done it. Try the instructions below:
You want to download this file:
File name: 8520wifijEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_Globe_Telecom__Inc.exe
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

How do I display call out accessories with different images?

I need some help with an app I'm developing. I'm displaying a map with an array of annotations.
I have managed to display the map & annotations successfully.
What I want to do next is have call out accessories that display different images everytime they are tapped.
Can anyone help with this? I have managed to display a right call out accessory but I'm getting stuck here & I don't know how to get my code to display images.
Any help wil be greatly appreciated!

baltwo: Thanks for the tip, I didn't know how easy it was to set up custom icons in OS X. In this case it's a difficult solution because it will have to be done by hand for every single folder, which is a problem if I'm going to have these in two places. I'm new to Automator but there doesn't seem to be a way to have it; 1) Select all the folders in a directory. 2) Copy the first image in each folder to the clipboard and have it use that image as each folder's icon.
Barney-15E: I know it sounds moronic, but yes. I've tried iPhoto but it's not a very good solution in this case. My folder structure is like this:
Root -> 282 image folders with 10 to 60 pictures in each.
All I really need is the ability to see at a glance what each image folder has without opening each individual folder. The folders are numbered sequentially (1-282 in this case) rather than by proper names, so this is the most efficient way.

I upgraded to the iphone 4S yesterday, ive got my contacts-apps-music back but I've not been able to figure out how to get my ringtones back? I purchased many tones with my 3G I assumed they would go back on my new one with everything else..

The iPad is looking for a 4 digit passcode that you used to lock the device. Did you set a 4 digit code when you set up your iPad? You need to enter that code in order to unlock it. If you don't know the code, you will have to restore the iPad in order to unlock it.

Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts. I need to see texts immediately, but not emails. Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible. At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts. Thanks!!

Well,
The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications. If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings). In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
Hope that helps!

Pixi able to have different ringtones for different callers??

So after about 4 years I finally had to get rid of my trusty Treo 650. I went with the Pixi and just got it a few hours ago. So far I like the phone, but have not been able to figure out how to set up different ringtones for different callers. I am on call with my work and having a distinct ringtone for when work calls me is super important (they showed up as NO CALLER ID on the 650 if that helps figure this out) . Also it was nice having a few other distinct ringtones so I knew right away who was calling and made it easier to decide if I wanted to take the phone out of my pocket to talk to them. So I guess long story short:
1. Does the Pixi support distinct ringtones for different callers?
2. If so where do I set that up?
3. If not does anyone have any idea if this will be something that can/will be addressed in an upcoming software update?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

So after playing with my phone some more I figured out how to give contacts distinct ringtones...but I still havne't figured out how to give "uknown callers" (at least thats what the Treo 650 called them) a distinct ringtone. This ringtone is the most important one due to the fact that when work calls me they come up as "NO CALLER ID" (once again thats what the Treo 650 did, been lucky enough to have not been called out in the few hours since I bought the Pixi....yet).
Anyone have any idea how to set up a distinct ringtone for "uknown callers" in the Pixi??

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.
