supamanning18 · 07-11-2006, 08:50 AM

Just wanted to know which one most people use and recommend! Also, throw out the links so I can take a look for myself.

WHat are the pros and cons of each one that you may have used?

ringo pro, do a search and you will find the link, I don't remember it. you can add your rings for globel or individuals plus assign pictures for each caller.

I tried RingoPro for awhile, but it wasn't very stable (for me). I was missing calls because sometime it would go silent, until I went in and "reapplied" my preferences. I've heard the more recent versions are better. I will say that a lot of people seem to like the program, though. FWIW.

I went with mRing as well, because when I was looking into ringtone managers, I read several threads here and on other forums about issues with Ringo and Lightwav. I understand that both are much more stable in recent versions, though, so it probably will come down to which program is the best fit as far as features.

I looked at Ringo Pro and mRing...and downloaded them separately for a trial run. Of the two, Ringo Pro never crashed or forced me to do a reset. mRing in its trial run, kept freezing and causing resets....BUT..here's the thing... and keep this in mind....I also suspect that when you add a new app to your treo, it has to live in harmony with all the other apps you may have purchased. So maybe the combination of add on programs I purchased just didn't get along with mRing.

Either program does the job...so you can't go wrong with either app!

UPDATE: After not using it for many months, I opened up RingoPro and there was an option to check for a newer version. I have been using the latest version and it is working great. So, I am changing my recommendation on Ringo to a "buy"!

I LOVE Ringo Pro...it allows you to assign mp3 files to groups, individuals and the main ringtone. It also will attach photos to each person OR group!

One issue I ran into with the trial version of Ringo Pro was trying to uninstall. Everytime I attempt to uninstall Ringo Pro using Uninstall Manager, I get the message that the app is protected and that I need to do a soft reset and try again or change the settings of Ringo. Anyone had anything similar to this?

Thanks,

Scott

Try disabling Ringo and then uninstalling.
