it only show general and silent with the vibrate tick box,
i know N900 will only have 2 profile, but can it be customized? changing ring tones, message tones?
The N900 has two profile : standard and silent. You can customize the standard provile using the menu - settings - Profiles chosing :
- The ringtone ( chosing a ringtone and the volume )
- The sms sound ( chosing a ringtone and the volume )
- The chat sound ( chosing a ringtone and the volume )
- The e-mail sonud ( chosing a ringtone and the volume )
- The level of the system sond
- The key sound
- The screen sonud
and you can choose to activate or not the vibration.
The deceiving part of this is that it's not immediately obvious you can and must scroll down to view the additional options, such as ringtones... also, the settings don't automatically recognize audio files you previously added to the ringtones folder-- they need to also be added specifically to the Profile settings. I call the latter a bug, and the former a UI shortcoming.
It would also be nice if I could access the Profile applet from any reference to Phone...
What I would like to see is a way to turn vibrate off when the N900 is charging like my E90.
Yep, the worst case scenario is that vibration will eventually drop your phone from the table. Only two profiles is definitely something that will be enhanced in the near future. Does anyone know whether there is development work by Nokia going on currently?
If you need more profiles just install "ProfilesX Extended" from Application Manager (i think you need to add repository - testeng,extras). After installing you will find it in "settings".
. Is able to make "new profiles" with desired name. Auto-answer and "speaker on answer" option, easy change between, icon in task menu. is a "must have" application.
