Changing sound SMS - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to change the sound of an incoming message into an mp3 file or so? I can change it in the standard sounds but want to use my own file. Is it possible?

Of course it is ! Not easy to guess at first, but I found a way to enable this.
You basically need to copy your .mp3 file (and remember its name to locate it after in the list) in the Windows folder of your device. It's a little long to load, don't be afraid, but then just paste the mp3 file in the windows folder, nowhere else, at its root.
Finally, go to sound configuration (parameters, system...) and set your mp3 file as the default SMS tone.
Enjoy !

That didnot work for me. It works when I press the "PLAY" button when configuring it but the only way it sound when I get a SMS is if I use a .wav file on the Windows folder mp3 dont work for me on SMS althoug the work on call tunes.

convert it to .wav then

MP3 Ringtone

Hi
I have a QTEK 2020i and I don't find a way to setup a mp3 ringtone.
If in file explorer I found a .wav or .mid I can open the shortcut menu and there is an option "Set as Ringtone". But with a mp3 file such option doesn't appear.
Also on Start/Settings/System/Add Ring Tone, mp3 files are not listed.
I finally tried to copy a mp3 file into \windows\rings directory.
The file appears in Start/Settings/Personal/Phone but doesn't play.
How can I set a mp3 file as a ringtone?
My regards
Ruka
use file explorer and navigate to Windows>Rings and drop ur mp3 into there
Hi
As I wrote on my first post, I've already tried that solution.
If I copy a mp3 file to windows\rings, it will appear as a ringtone (in Phone in Settings), but if I select it, it is rejected (it won't play, and when I press ok it will revert to Windows default ringtone).
I've seen on other posts that other people can setup a mp3 ringtone, but I can't. I wonder if it is some additional software release by some mobile phone company.
My regards
R.
hope this will help you.....
Don't work
Sorry.
Download and install then on the 2020i.
Even tried with a reset.
Nothing changes. Still can't set a mp3 file as a ringtone.
Where did you get these files: they say Helmi Mp3 RingTones.
Is there a site where I can check if there is another version of them?
Thanks anyway
Use a registry editor, then locate:
1) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 - Default = WMAFile
2) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\DefaultIcon - Default = wmplayer.exe,-2001
3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\command - Default = wmplayer.exe "%1"
It worked!!!
Actually I only had to change the first registry setting, (.mp3 - Default = WMAPlayer).
The other two settings were already there!!
And it worked!!!
I have PocketMusic installed and the .mp3 default setting pointed to it.
I always wonder why if those equipment could support mp3, why I couldn't set one as a ringtone.
The only thing that is still different (from the .wav or .mid files), although not important at all for me, is that I still don't have the "set as a ringtone" in the shortcut menu when I click on a mp3 file. I guess that via registry that could also be set.
Thank you very much
Ruka
Done that too!!!
Hi
I search the registry for the string "Set as ringtone"
and found it at
HKCR\wavfile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4 ... }
with the values:
Default = Set as ringtone
DelayLoad = 1
Then I created the same structure inside HKCR\WMAFile.
Since
HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4... }
were already there (although witn no contents), I only had to create the values Default (as string) and DelayLoad (as number)
Thank you all again

Is it possible to have Ogg files as ringtones ?
u can set mp4 files as ring tones.
i converted my fav mp3 to mp4 using nero wave editor.
copy the your_music.mp4 to any folder and right click set as ring-tone
it'll tell u that it has copied your music to the windows\rings folder
and thats it :d
i don't even have settings-syste-set as ringtone and i can use my wav music only with sms not with incoming call, help?

this worked great even with TCPMP assigned to mp3... thx!
okay so this broke again... solution was not change .mp3 to wmafile but look down for registry key "wmafile" and there is "shellex" key or something. I've copied that key to "mp3file" key and so it works with whatever association.

Custom Alarm tune

Hi. How can I add to the alarm rings?
I have a custom tune which I would like to use. Do you know which folder I need to place it in to make it avilable as a selection in the drop down list ?
Max
Just drop'em straight in the windows folder! At least this works for wav-files.

I dropped an MP3 in the windows folder, but it doesnt work. Thanks. I will try dropping a WAV file there.
It has to be a .wav file. The smaller the size, the better.
I have a 59sec file that I converted from mp3 to WAV. I dropped it in the Windows folder and sure enough, it shows up on the list of allowed sounds in the alarm program. However, when I select it from the drop down list, the selection reverts to "default". Furthermore, when I try using Spb Time, I can select the tune, but it doesn't play, just silence.
Any ideas?
BTW, if I play the WAV file via File Explorer, it plays fine.

How to add .wav files as ringtone

When I add a .wav file to my windows directory, I can not see it in the phone options to use it as ringtone.
Can anybody tell me how to add this wav as a ringtone?
Thanx RObert
Convert to mp3 or wma.
I just found out that if you put a .wav file in the windows/ring folder, you can select the files.
or, better (in my opinion) into the internal storage/my documents. they are much easier to find/replace (opening windows directory takes a long time and finding something there is a pain in the a..s.). also, this way after a hard reset or flashing a new ROM you will not have to copy them again and as a bonus you'll have more memory in the "device".

set as ringtone my wav. file.

where can i download a app, that set the wav. file as a ringtone or messages alert?? can you give me some links. thanks in advance..
are you dislike mp3 ? )
Use ur laptop to send the .wav file to ur X1 through bluetooth.And then u can see the wav file in the ringtone list
making the wav into mp3 would dec it's size by a factor 11 though
The best software to encode between mp3 and .wav is free CDEx.
I use it all the time in profi usage.
With 320kbps mp3 you get perfect quality without any loss for a ringtone.
well for ring tones I would advise mono and a pretty low Kb/sec as the speaker in most devices don't really do high quality audio much justice
Put it in either the My Documents folder on your device or in Storage Card\My Documents and it'll show up in the ringtone list.
Works for mp3, wma, wav, mid etc
Rings

How to change alert sounds

I need longer alert sounds on the built in calendar app so that I can hear them. I have tried adding mp3 files to /system/media/audio/notifications but the folder won't accept them. I cannot find any way of calling sounds from another folder (eg the external card) within the app itself. How can I do this?
You need to be rooted to be able to copy files to the /system (and thus /system/media) folder.
If you are rooted, convert your mp3 to an ogg file with any audio converter and put the file in /system/media/audio/notifications and see if you can select it as your notification sound in the calendar.
Thanks, but I'm not rooted and wouldn't want to attempt to go down that road as I totally don't understand it.
Can anyone help me put in some useable alert tones please?
