Yeah, I had Work at the top and Default just below it. Work had a location with a 100m diameter which lowered the ring tone volume. Default had no conditions and had my standard ring tone volume.
At times both seemed to be bold and at others Default was bold
For me default is always on, but then as work is higher it takes priority. Not sure what to advise matey, beyond if you're not happy with it you have 24 hours to get a refund on any marketplace purchase.

If you don't want to use up loads of space with widgets for things like wifi/BT etc, then check out "Quick Settings".
Place one icon on the desktop, click it to open a dialog window with all the settings you could possibly want. Also you can customise what settings it displays.
Free too!

Same here...but for some odd reason it doesnt work unless im doing something wrong??.
Put my phone on silent...tried ringing it but still remains silent...tried saying wheres my droid but nothing....hmmm
Check out SwitchPro widgets (link in sig) - it's absolutely awesome
ive got that, i used to have brightness, bluetooth, mobile data, gps, aero mode, wifi, sync all, 2g to 3g, taking up one box now all i have is this plus gps [gps toggle doesnt work off it and all it has is 7 spaces, but i gain some back with this
i also got the led light too thats really handy and bright!

I might be stating the obvious here but you didn't "speak" to it did you?
Send a text message using the exact phrase as chosen in the settings for WMD and see if it replies back?
I set GPS and WHERE as my phrases and it works flawlessly.
LOL yeh i spoke to it...felt like a right tit lol
...ok thanks for explaining it...didnt know you had to text it etc.If you lose your Droid how would you speak to it so it sends the GPS co-ordinates or rings etc if it's nowhere nearby
Provided some lols there Spawn
Hey i didnt know did i??...lol
...i thought you just call the name out ie wheres my droid and it would pick it up and start ringingBut thanks for explaining it to me
lol spawn, i have an image of you walking around saying wheres my droid? here boy!!
Alright alright....next time ill keep my weirdness to myself.
Anyhow it seems to work but have it set to 30 secs...so far its only rung the once...is it not supposed to keeping ringing every 30 secs or something??.
Saying that my text message tone keeps going off every 30 secs...until i clear it.
It should ring for 30 secs yeah, can switch to 5mins though, probably more suitable. The donation version allows email support too so you can just email your phone and it emails back, probably easier if you've only got access to a non smartphone as c/p maps links is not easy

Hmmm ok well i have it set at 30 secs and when i text it.....it rings the once then my text notification sound rings...after that its just the text notification sound every 30 secs.
Gonna play it with it some more i think.
also trying the weather widgets thing, but havent got much room spare, friends stream and emails take up 1 screen each, i also cant decide on the htc weather widget or the 3rd party app, [i like the animation on the htc one ]
also still wishing it was possible to screen shot without root lol

Oh well cant seem to get the freakin wheres my droid app to work properly...it doesnt even ring...all it gives me is the stupid text notification that i have and thats it...had a look at the help pages and even the videos and set it up according to those but doesnt work.
Good thing its free as its a pile of rubbish if it doesnt work properly.

I can't get it to work properly either 
- Turned the volume to silent
- Texted the phrase
- The phone sms alert goes off and then it rings once, that's it
supposedly it's a known issue with certain ringtones but mine is the standard ring, not really a custom one.
Anyone got any suggestions?
