I'm new to the Wizard 8125 and i'm trying to figure out how to use ringers besides the ones that come on the phone. Can i upload songs or download of the internet?
any song. mp3 or wma
if you have a sd card . just tap and hold the mp3 or wma file song you want . and tap ( set as ringtone ) in the window
this will automatically add the song to your ringtones Folder in the main memory of your phone
good luck.
yes, but that only works for ringtones
not for notices such as incomming messages, or missed call notifications....etc
on a fluke however, i have a wav file (of homer simpson screaming woohoo) that DID end up in the menu for incomming messages notifications and such... so my question is, is there a certain criteria for custom soundfiles to work as something other than a ringtone?
anyone? anyone at all?
I use PhoneAlarm to do this. I am not sure how to do this through registry or know of a freeware app but I do know phoneAlarm does a very good job of this.
SoBBie
alerts
The way i do is copy the sound from you mc card use file explorer then go into windows on your phone scroll to the bottom of the folder then press with the styles then paste then it will be there when you set the alarm hope that helps

The G1 has a silence mode, but it unfortunately only silences ringers and notifications. If I want to play a game of Solitaire I am blasted in the face with stupidly loud music. Is there a system-wide switch to just disable ALL sound through the built in speaker?
Go to setting -> sounds & display -> media volume bring then it all the was down you should be able to map a. Shortcut to this with anycut.
Hope this helps
Ringtone/Notification Questions
Is there any way to put your own ringtones on the phone through a storage card like on the wing or other windows mobile phones, I just got the phone and am playing with it right now ad so far don't see no way to do this. If there's a way can someone please help.
I added 2 tones from my wing to the memory card from the G1. Placed them on the root of the card and then installed from the market "Rings Extended". Then selected them.
download the rings extended app. that will let you do what you want.
google market: rings extended
+1 rings extended.
I had a stale page load and the two previous posters beat me to it!
-- edit --
also, fwiw, with 'rings extended' I found that the media listing was recursive as I had an entire directory structure from my wm6 phone. So, you can still have categorized directory structures if you like.
if you use the correct folder structure there will be no problems setting up the ringtones

Alternatively you can just go to the music player, choose a song and press " use as ringtone".
First off, what helped me the most- connect the phone to a pc and enable the usb on the g1. When it pops up (it will look like a mass storage device on the pc) format it and then create these folders at the root of the storage card:
music
ringtones
alerts
notifications
Anything inside music will show up on the music player. Anything outside should not show up anywhere but where it is placed. If you do not format the card first, this will not be the case at least in my experience. Formatting seems to make it all work right.
The folder structure is taken from the tmobile website online instruction manual- cant remember the page

While true, it also means you may have a bunch of ringtones and alerts mixed in with your music, something I dont like
for the record:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringones
etc
works as well, as does
/sdcard/media/video
for video files.
good to know about the alternative folder layouts
what are you using to play video files? I grabbed the "video player" on the market but curious to know what others are using.
Thanks a lot guys, you were very helpful.

put stuff into the folders. uncheck the USB box on the phone (you lose the PC connection at that point). Now your phone can find stuff.

having trouble
ok so i need some help xda-ers!!!
i had the wing. i took my 2GB card and put it in the g1. i connected it to my pc running xp and changed the names of my folders to what was recommended. maybe i should have made new folders altogether is the issue? i can try that. anyway... it's not working... i go into settings to set ringtones and i cant set anything except the stock ones.
is the issue that i didnt make brand new folders and just changes the names?
or do i need to take everything off the card, reformat it, and start fresh?
thnx!

in my experience, this is exactly what you need to do. Format it on the pc while its in the phone using the data cable.
Is there a way to change the bluetooth thing to make it save on the storage instead of phone memory? There barely is space on it, not for big files anyway. I cant save it and move it, and i dont know where to change standard saving folder to memory card.

Thanks for this nice application, Working 100% on my Treo Pro after Soft reset!
I have my SEXperia X2 for almost 5 days and I am almost ready to throw it at the can-first I had a major unequal battle with the sms vibration and thx god after installing some sony-ericsson software update I raised the victory flag...but it was just a short break...today I heard some strange noise coming from my phone and when I reached it....it was ringing with some strange ringtone....I tried to put some of my old ones but what did I found no sounds in my ringtones folder at my card I tried to put some mp3's but no it is not possible,when I try to put a file there it rejects me,when I enter the folder is empty,at least I managed to put an mp3 as a ringtone from my music folder but it makes a copy to the phone memory and decrease it.So I am wondering does anybody had the same problem and what I must do to find my files or to relate files from my mp3's without sexperia to make copies of them at the phone memory?
I am sorry for the strange story and probably I should post this somewhere else but I didn't find any related topics after an hour of searching

AFAIK you have to put ringtones to phone's memory to make
it available for ringtones.
yeah I know that,at the beginning before the update(from the official SE page) all of the ringtones were at the my ringtones folder at the phone memory,but after it all of my ringtones were moved at the storage card at a folder named "my ringtones" and that was great because the phone mem remains less occupied and I was very happy with that and I paste a few songs there and they rang as my contacts and phone melodies but than just in a sudden they disappeared from there and the folder is useless at the moment.
sounds strange. normally when you update it completely wipes your phone and internal memory and starts from scratch. so all of your personal info and ringtones should of been lost. seems that you where lucky they randomly appeared on your memory card.
i found that if i put mp3s into the my ringtones folder on the phone memory nothing came up in the sounds and notifications settings at first. if i used the spb panel and selected contacts i could set the ringtone from the storage card straight away. i went back into the sounds and notifications settings and they had finally appeared in there too.lol. maybe the spb setting is better at searching or something.
no idea why your folder would suddenly wipe itself though. youll just have to try and copy your mps3 back in there and see if they work again... if they dont appear straight away try resetting your phone. it might only scan the storage card at certain times. mine are in "storagecard\my documents\my ringtones" theyre still mp3s and dont appear to be converted in anyway... maybe try deleting the my ringtones folder and creating a new one. it might of got corrupted...
theres an update due in march so hopefully if they do dissapear again its something that will be fixed in a few weeks.
The situation is unclear
how the ringtones appeared on phones memory folder before:
moved by the user or were there by default.
Standard SE upgrade means wiping off the personal data
but loading all the corporate default material
like videos, music and rjngtones too.
Try to see what choice you have in ringtones settings.
I finally came to a solution after playing with my phone till 2 am last night,I erased the folder named my ringtones at the storage card because it was inaccessible then I made a new one with the same name then I put some mp3 there and now they are still there and I can mark them as a contact ring tones even,but after a while today I found that my ringtone was changes again with some other melodie(all other mp3 were there this time but the one with which the phone was ringing was changed,but was still at the folder )-of course some ugly default se ringtone and after poking awhile I reached to an answer:I have some program called modaco-nodata that is installed at my phone card and this program blocks the gprs traffic,so when the blocking is on it blocks some folders and make them inaccessible.First it was on my storage card and it blocked the access to windows folder there,now I've put it at the phone memory and it blocked my "my device/windows" folder now I am going to remove it from the phone and I will see the result-than I will give a feedback if it was the reason of all that strange behaviour of my Xperia.
Thank you for the ideas
Hi! It happened the same to me!!! I lost almost all the ringtones that came with the phone!!!! What can I do? How did you manage the problem definitely?
Is it possible to get all the old ringtones?
Thanks

On your sd card make sure you have a folder named "audio"
Then inside that folder make these 3 folders "alarms", "notifications", "ringtones"
Place your alert sounds in the folders.
New ringtone? "ringtones" folder
New message? "notifications" folder
New Alarm? "alarms" folder.
Obviously don't have the " " s when naming the folders.
Rings Extended
Mark you might also try the app called "Rings Extended". It's free and will let you pick any audio file for ringtones/notifications/etc.
