Can someone tell me if it possible to import mp3 ringtones?
Or is it just wav files that it plays? If so what is the maximum quality it can handle?
Cheers!
Unfortunately no Mp3's - but convert your mp3's to wma format & copy the file to \windows\rings.
keep in mind that wma support is enabled on the 1.40 rom...it wasn't supported on the older ones...at least not the one that came on the SX66...cheers...
Thanks for your help! I worked it out in the end. I converted the MP3 into a WAV file and just dumped it in my documents - click and select use as ringtone - JOB DONE!
Cheers Guys
WAV ringtones
Hi,
I just bought the Orange SPV m2000 and i am having problems playing WAV files as ringtones. I imported a WAV file into \windows directory of the phone and then when i come to select it as a ringtone all i hear is ding-dong-ding-dong which shows something is clearly wrong. can anyone assist?
Thanks

I have tried this several times, even contacted orange, but am now getting conflicting information
The manual says mp3 files can be used as a ringtone
orange then advised me to move the files into the /rings folder
However, the device cannot recognise them
I've now been told by orange the device does not support mp3 files at all!
I then told them that I can play them in Windows Media Player and was told the device shouldn't be able...
Any ideas?
Try the attached file; works for me on my SX66.
How is this installed, and into which folder(s) on the Pocket PC?
just move into any folder...and...tap on it.. it'll automatically install...
just as simple as 1-2-3...
Tried that, no change...
I have a file called bigbrother.mp3 in windows/rings folder, but this is not being recognised
If I move any other type of file (.mid .wav) into this folder, then I can set those as ringtone
I can also setup any other ringtones from the start/settings/system/add ring tones
What next?
WAV ringtones...
Hi! I also had issues getting an MP3 to play as a ringtone... Not sure if it was due to the file size or the file type.
My work around was to use a tool to slice and dice the file to
1. Make the ringtone duration 20 seconds
2. Convert the file to WAV
3. Increase the gain so the ringtone is louder than original
There are tons of free applications to do this... I usually download todays' most popular from http://www.download.com ...
Enjoy!
Hi There,
Try renaming bigbrother.mp3 to a smaller name i.e big.mp3
I had an MP3 that wouldn't display in the list until I renamed it to a smaller name, then it became available and worked succintly.
let us know how you get on

No, no change
I was wondering of the file is too large, so uploaded a smaller one at 0.9MB, but this too was not recognised
The only conclusion I can come to is the orange SPV M2000 (QTEK 9090) does not support mp3 files as ring tones, only mid and wav
That still doesn't match the manual though (clearly states "use mp3 files as ring tones")
Update to latest rom (1.40.00 ?) That should fix it - I had the same problem - updated rom & voila
I've tried the latest orange ROM 1.40 and as really unstable and went back to ROM 1.31
I'll try again and see if there is any change
If you convert a MP3 file to Wav or WMA, then you would be able to set it as a ringtone (by right clicking it in your phone).
WMA is comparitively smaller than WAV, so I personally recommend WMA. I am converting files from ""Microsoft Digital Media Edition""Audio Converter" http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/dme/Music.asp#audio.

Just upgrade. This is an issue solved long ago. Newer ROMs are more stable, just get used to them
after you have your file in the phone, make sure you put it in mydocuments/my music folder on MAIN MEMORY, then go to file explorer and find it, hold down the stylus on the song mp3,wma,midi you want and there will be an option to set it as ringtone.
easiest way to do it..
anyway now that this has been answered, i keep a 2gb minisd card full of mp3s on my phone and i need an app that will let me cut a small (30 - 60 sec) clip .mp3 and be able to send it via bluetooth, it doesnt have the option to beam built-in but it would be easier. does anyone know of such a program? (for the phone not for a PC)
again sorry for the thread hijack, theres just no need to create a new one.
I've updated the ROM to the latest version from orange
The ringtones are still in the correct folder
Also tried right click and set to ringtone
Still no change, none of the mp3 files are recognised
It does look as if it is a misprint then in the orange handbook
Note this is an orange SPV M2000
Found out why I had previously downgraded to an old orange ROM
The one (currently) on the orange website is faulty when used with the camera... and causes an internal error
Works perfectly on my i-mate jam
Ya, it not work on M2000/O2.
I think ,this causes the system do no identify MP3 type(you can see the
files property).
Please change .mp3 type to WMa or WAV, then you can enjoy.
doesntwork on my xda 2... i got set it as a ring tone, click it , then nothing else happens :O/
This can be caused if a third party app takes control of the .mp3 extension. I installed a media player and it took .mp3 control away from WMP10. in order for your phone to use mp3 as ringtone it has to be associated with WMP. I had to use pocket tweak to re-associate mp3 to WMP. and this cleared my issue.
ooh, i think i have pocket tweak somewhere, makes me so irrate when other phones less complex can use mp3 ringtones with no fuss and bother. infact this phones annoying ime more and more , its so faddy!
I downloaded some ringtones as mp3 or mp4 but no sound when selected as ringtones. It works if I select it to play in windows media player.
I have 3VO series rom on WM6.5.
check your settings, and make sure you have the ringer on loud and your system all the way up on the slide. hopefully this works.
i was using ringtones downloaded from myxer and they were in mp3d format and would never work. so now i just cut my own songs and make my own shortened mp3's and they work fine everytime.
check the file format on your computer and see what they are.
ignore what i said earlier it is invalid. my problem stemmed from the newest 3vo rom. dont know how to work it out.

Are the files you are trying to use high-quality, or better quality? If so, then try to use ones of lesser quality, since you don't need a HQ sound coming from your cell phone on RING...chances are that loading up that sound (if it is of a higher quality) takes up a decent amount of processing power/RAM, that at one point it just can't process the ring anymore.
I am using the 3vo 2.5 as well...if you want to send me the file, i can see if i figure out what the problem is...(you can email me it, just click my name and send me an email)
There MUST be a way in WP7 to set a MP3 as a ringtone. I used the a thread here to gain access to the device from the PC but all i see are the music folders. No ringtones, etc. Has anyone found a way yet? Thanks.
at this point you have to write an app that will do that .
Ringtones are most likely in the root folder and may only be in wma or wav format. Until we have access to the Windows folder or wherever the default ringtones live, we won't know if mp3 is an acceptable format.
To me, this is the most bizzare, mystifying Version 1 ommission in WP7. Surely, it can't be THAT complicated.... right?
Very simple, sync the music you want as a ring tone with zune.
Use touchexplorer and go to my documents /zune/..... there you find a folder which contains files like **.mp3.
Play till you have the right song, and then copy it to my documents ringtones. rename it if you want, close explorer and go to sound settings. now you can select the ringtone.
Wait up. Is touchexplorer actually out now?
I want it simply to make custom ringtones and alarms. Would I also need to jailbreak with chevron or is touchexplorer by itself enough. And if so, link?
I am not sure i undersand. sorry for being so slow here. I thought you couldnt get to a "file explorer". Is that what Touch Explorer does for you? Can you point me to the download please? Also, is this something you have working?

touchexplorer needs the phone to be jailbroken I think and can mess up the device.
This does work actually. The easiest way to find the song your after in touchexplorer is to find it by size. I knew my ring tone i made was 2 meg so i just looked through the folder 0100 (on mine it has 3 subfolders) till i found one at that size. It saves playing every Mp3 on your phone anyway. Oh and by the way it will play Mp3 as ringtones.
Use ChevronWP7 Custom Ringtone Manager for custom ringtones. WP7 doesn't support MP3 for ringtones, so you will need to convert your MP3s to WMA first, then use the Ringtone Manager to deploy them to your device. Easiest way to convert to WMA is with this free converter for PC. Make sure you convert to 48Khz WMA or WP7 might not recognize the file once you deploy it.
Is there any way we can choose tone for sms/email?

Overwrite the existing Alarm-##.wma or Alert-##.wma files in the \Windows folder using TouchXplorer or any of the other file exploring solutions.
Need to convert in Wma. no mp3
can;t convert in 48khz

the easiest way, imo, is to unlock phone and deploy TouchXplorer. put your ringtone, in mp3 format, into zune and sync it with your phone. then you can enter TouchXplorer and navigate to where all the music is stored on your device. once found, copy the mp3 and navigate back to my documents and then my ringtones, and paste the mp3 there. then go back to the main screen, go to settings, ringtones & sounds, click on the ringtone part and you should now be able to see your ringtone
YES- MP3 files are able to be ringtones
Just download the RingRing7v1_1.zip. found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990022
Make sure you extract all files to use the application
The file will then change from RingRing7v1_1.zip to RingRing7v1_1
READ THE README.txt first. you have to add ffmpeg.exe file into the RingRingv1_1 in order for the application to work. SOURCE-http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/FFmpeg/git-c9e16a9/FFmpeg-git-c9e16a9.7z/download
Click and drag the ffmpeg.exe file to the RingRing7v1_1 file to add.
After that, you should be able to open the application called RingRing7.exe
Pick any song, every song is then converted to the required wma format by itself, drag the song to empty bar next to Name, pick a start time for your ringtone and keep the duration to 30, its just a good duration time for a ringtone, but it can be changed.
Make sure the start time is like this 00:00:42.824
the 42 is seconds and the 824 is milliseconds.
PREVIEW the ringtone duration to make sure it where you want the ringtone to start on. It should preview on your zune software program.
If you like the ringtone.
Make sure your phone is on and your live tiles are showing, zune software is up, and the phone isn't syncing anything, and then DEPLOY.
The RingRing7 application should pop up on your phone, after it says SUCCESS. hit the menu button, and your custom ringtone should be added to your list of ringtones in settings!!!
Hint I found: Change the name of your song on the application if you want you ringtone to show up in alphabetical order. The name should pop up with the track number with it. Ex-"02SongTitle" Get rid off the track number before the song, then the phone will display only "SongTitle". Add the artist too if you would like.
ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW- Right now, there is no way to delete the added custom ringtones on your phone, only way is to do a hard reset or restore your phone to your previous update.
And that is how you add mp3 songs as ringtone without reformating every song to the dumb 48 Khz, and .wma formats. Also formats any other audio files too.
I wanted a different startup sound on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II so I created my own .wav file then converted it to an .ogg file and renamed it PowerOn.ogg.
Then I went to system/media/audio/ui/spr and I renamed the existing PowerOn.ogg to PowerOnn.bak
Then I copied the PowerOn.ogg file I made and pasted it in the same folder
Reboot and it should work, mine does. I noticed there are many PowerOn.ogg files in this folder and some of the other folders in the system/media/audio/ui folder, I guess I got lucky and changed the right one.
Here is the sound I used, it is a clip from the song that was the theme song for the TV show Sons of Guns.
Here is the full song on youtube, if you like it then you will like my PowerOn sound.
"Shelter Me" by Tab Benoit - Sons Of Guns Theme Song - YouTube
I hope to attach the file here.
Let me know if others have success with this. As I stated, this does work on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II that I use.
Custom Shutdown Sound
Well I changed my shutdown sound also. The sound I used is one that sounds like an electrical short like the phone is literally frying, its funny..
I went to system/media/audio/ui/ and the file name is PowerOff.ogg, renamed to PowerOff.bak, then I moved the new PowerOff.ogg file to the directory and rebooted and it works great. I will attach the sound file, it is pretty neat since it sounds like the electronics is shorting out. Hope this helps anyone wanting to do the same.
Here is another startup sound, I downloaded a sonar sound, then made the single sound into ongoing sonar pings, then adjusted the volume, it was way to loud, then I adjusted the speed of play to give it the sound I wanted, I have attached the file needed for the phone, the PowerOn.ogg and I attached the same in a .wav format so you can listen to it before you actual install it. This dawned on me after I thought about it. This one zip has both so you can listen to it, and if you like it the file is there to place on the phone.
Enjoy..
