Hello,
I am trying to add alarm clock sounds to the default alarm clock but they do not show on the list. I do not want to add a third party software. I found a regedit to change HKCU, control panel, sounds, clock entry from alarm to ring but no change even after reset.
Any ideas ???
Thks,
On my HTC Artemis (O2 XDA) and WM6 I was only able to get .wav files (PCM Uncompressed) to work for alarms, and then they must be less than approx 2.33mb (as reported by XP or ~2,450,000 bytes). They must be stored in the windows directory.
There are .wma files also in the windows directory but none of them appear in the clock & alarms drop down list. So I assumed .wma's can't be used for the alarms.
The .wav files must be 8bit or 16bit and either 8kHz, 11.025kHz, 16kHz or 22.05kHz (32kHz does not seem to work).
It's a bit annoying as I had a good .mid file as an alarm on my old Sony Ericsson and they are tiny (28.3kb). Converting it to .wav made it 2.5mb!!! So I had to trim it down to 2.33mb before it would work.

Where are the sounds (for rintones, alarms, etc.) stored on a WM6 device?
I want to change the alarm sound on my phone and I don't like the built-in list of alarm sounds and want to add my own.
So, two questions:
1. where are the alarm sounds stored?
and
2. what format can you use for alarm sounds?
BTW I want to change my alarm to sound like a standard telephone ring so that I can set it to go off in the middle of meetings to pretend that someone is calling me to let me escape these ****ing wastes of time. It never fails.
In windows folder you will find another folder its name is Rings you can add your fav. files by copy and paste method then if u would like to change tones, you can do that by settings-> Personal -> Phone
oh I forgot!!!!
.wmv .mp3 .... are usually used format
I think for the alarm sounds, you're restricted to just wav (maybe wma but i've not confirmed that) but they have to be in the windows folder, not the rings as stated above.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
you are right Lordsmiff!!!
I am so sorry
I do not know why I chose tones option for alarm

To add further, alarm and notification tones are restricted to WAV format.
Put then in \windows\ folder.

Thanks for clarifying this.
Does anyone have any good WAV "alarms" that sound like telephone calls (ringtones)?
Cheers.

Does anyone know the location of or the name, of the sound files for 'sms sent' and 'delete confirmation', please?
There is no option to change these in Settings>Sounds & Notifications. The files don't appear to be located in the Windows folder either...
Anyone please help?
I'm just getting to grips with my new WM6 device
I dont know if any of you use the alarm clock function on your mobile but in the past (on previous phones) i found it very useful. The alarm clock on the blackstone seems to have much more limited funcitonailty than my previous model phones though. ie there is no way to change what it uses as the alarm (meaning you cant use custom sounds from mp3s) and there is also no snooze function. I was wondering if anyone new either a way of doing this on the existing built in alarm function or another app which i can load onto the phone which do have these functions.
you can select custom sounds under the clocks and setting by clicking on the little bell.
i use galarm personally and find it quite usefull. together with secondtoday and the today plugin it's easy to manage.
I use klaxon as it integrates into the TF3D alarmclock and is g-sen enabled like galarm. you can also use custom sounds with klaxon
hi all
i will like to assign my own music as alarm tone, any1 knows how to do it?
and i like to use SE panel 02. just wondering can i change the background with my own picture instead of the colours scheme they offer?
recently i realise my phone ringtone keep jumping from vibrate and ring into ring only by itself. so fustrating. any suggestion?
thanks
For ingtones you can use any mp3s, for message tone you need to use a WMA or WAV. file which you have to put directly into the windows folder... for Alarm tone you can only use a WAV. file which also goes directly into the windows folder.....
Check your ringtone setting to see if you have set it to ring then vibrate...
To change the picture on the panel you need to get 2 pictures one vertical and another horizontal (you can use the same picture but you need 2 files) rename one to "00h" (horizontal) and one to "00v" for vertical. Then place them in program files, panels, sonyericsson panels, images folder. Notice theres alots of files with these kind of names you can replace any of them by renaming your file but this will over write the original colour backgrounds in the panel.
It is possible to use a MP3 file for message tone
No you would need to convert it to WMA or WAV

i cant paste anything inside the windows folder. whenever i go into windows folder, there is no space for mi to hold my touch for a paste. there is no paste option.
regarding the ring and vibrate, everytime i set to "ring n vibrate", after a while it will set back by itself to "ring"
any idea how come everytime i encounter error with tmail.exe also?

My text message tone is a MP3 file so it IS possible
my default alarm app from wm6.5 is just playing the sounds once and doesnt repeat it. can anyone help??
download an app called klaxon. winmo's alarm is garbage and it's been well known for years. they are obviously never going to fix it.
Not sure if I should start a new thread given the age of this one but I was experiencing this problem. I found an answer from 2003 on another site which I adapted to newer WinMo versions. The following registry tweak works for me to create a looping/repeating alarm.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock
Right click: New>String Value
Enter Value Name: Script
Enter Value Data (for no vibrate): apr
or
Value Data (with vibrate): av0pr
If you want to add a delay between each ring add 'w(delay)' before the r(repeat), for example: av0pw3r would have a vibrating alarm with a 3 second wait before looping the ringtone
Delete the 'Script' value to revert back to the normal alarm ring.
I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question, so please delete or move if it isn't.
I am just wondering if there is a way to show the alarm names on the clock of SPB Time 3. For examle, if I have two alarms named "Work" and "School", I need to show these two names on the face of the clock beside the alarm clock symbols.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It would be nice at least to be able to use different colors to distinguish the different alarm clocks.
Also it would be very handy to have a 24hour clock instead of the classic 12h so am and pm alarms don't get mixed up.
