Hi D2 fans
I would like to addd some alarm tones and ring tones to my T2. I didn't find a thread yet that covers that.
My idea is to convert a mp3 file to wav and copy it to the ringtones folder or in the windows folder. But I am missing how to display the new tones in the D2 config menu.
any help or ideas appreciated
If you want to use the build in Alarm I can't help u.
But u could use G-Alarm... it provides mp3-alarm files
g-alarm
Thank's, but I don't like g-alarm.
I try always to minimize third party apps on the devices.
does it mean that the álarms are in the ROM?
copy the file you want in the my documents directory and it will apear in the combo box so you can asign it to alarms
No, this won't work. Default alarm only accept WAV file, no MP3 nor WMA file.
if you read the first post, he already says that he converted the mp3 to wav wich is why i didn't mentioned it
cheers
it does not work
thanks, but it works only for ring tones and not for the alarm tones displayed in the alarm menu...
oops
sorry, this worked on the hermes.
on the topaz, i just tried to copy a wav file in the windows directory and it does works and apears on the list of available alarm ringtones.
cheers
When you in active sync hit the explore tab, then within windows under folder options go to show hidden files hit ok or apply then back to active sync explore and you will find the windows folder drop you file in here, then you will be able to use your tone...

WOW!
Thanks guys!
finally I can wake up with a romantic song and not with a beeeepp

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
Ringers-alarms-n text,emails-ext
Yes the ringer 4 the cell does work on mem crd by tap hold n set as ringer as far as alarms n text n blah blah the have to b WAV files or u can copy n paste it under windows to the main phone mem. n that will work !!!
PERFECT
you just need to copy the file under the windows folder... thank you!
Right i have searched and searched and cannot get the answer i am looking for. I have the mp3 i want as an SMS tone in \storage\my docs, \my device\windows, plus all the other places people suggest and still it will not allow me to select the tone for SMS. Some one please help its driving me mad!
Easiest way if you are stuggling is to open the mp3 trimmer application, browse for the file where the mp3 is, select the mp3, then edit it to your liking. The phone will then ask you if you want it set as default ringtone!!
Hope this helps

Have you tried putting the files in /Application Data/Sounds/ ? Works for me..
I have never been able to use an MP3 file as an SMS, Mail, MMS, Alarm etc tone. Using it for a ringtone however works fine.
It seems that it only want WAV files if you want it for an SMS, Mail etc tone. So convert the file to WAV using you PC / MAC and drop it in /Windows. Then you can select it.
try putting it on the root of phone memory.
mine never works on internal storage but on phone
memory is fine.
Yep had it in route and still wont work. tried in app data\sounds still no joy. Ill try the convert to a wav file see if i get anywhere with that
nope still no joy with the WAV file
Try not only to save it as .wav but as a wavefile in PCM format
I spend some time back on the earlier QTEK's to get this part working, best shot is that it's still like this.
Kindly
you should copy them to your windows folder on the phone
thats where te other sms tones are stored,worked for me even with mp3 files

lol thanks - as i said above it doesnt work
I've got my worms sms notification located in File explorer>My device>Internal storage.
Then go to sounds/notifications and it should appear in the available sounds list.
Works fine... however I did try it with another mp3 file in exactly the same way and although it appears in the list it won't actually play the sound.
Matt
Available patch for mp3 SMS tones was:
>My device>Internal storage
>My device>Windows.

Hi,
Is there anyway I can change the alarm tone to something of my own i.e. mp3 one?
thanks
Hi,
For me, I just convert the format of mp3 or wma (whatever format) to .wav format.
After that, just paste it into the windows folder.
Your song should then appear in the alarm menu.
Hope this helps
Hi,
thanks for the reply.
I have converted the file and placed in the hidden windows folder on the X1, do i need to rename the file same as the alarm file? as i don't see an option to select a different alarm tone on the X1.

Tap the "bell" icon on the alarm page to change the tones.
thank you,
this phone takes getting use to I learn something new on it everyday
Copy mp3-music file to the phone or memory card--> Use File Explorer to locate the musicfile-->Press _long_ on the file --> Select "Set as ringtone".
Edit: My bad. You were talkin' about the notification alarm...
just to let everyone know that you will have to convert the mp3 it to windows pcm wav for it work.
Could anyone just check this out?
The X1 stock roms come with a few different alarm sounds Alarm1,2,3,4,5 - 2 and 5 are .wav's but 1,3,4 are .wma's. In the alarms where you can choose the sound you should be able to choose any of those 1-5, as im using a custom rom, I can only choose the 2 and 5 which are .wav's.
Would anyone mind checking this? It would be appreciated.
I made a tutorial.
Here I will show you how to make a custom alarm (for the wakeup alarm). Note that this is not the same as a ringtone (Normal ringtones can be MP3, alarms cannot.)
1) Get Audacity: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
2) Open your favorite sound/song with Audacity.
3) Set Project Rate to 11025 kHz (at the bottom)
4) Select (mark) the section you want as an alarm with the marker tool (default tool).
5) Choose Edit->Trim
6) Choose Mix -> Split Stereo tracks (the dropdown in the box)
7) Choose Mix1->Mono
8) Choose Mix2->Mono
9) Choose Track->Resample->11025kHz
10) Choose Track->Mix and Render
11) Choose File->Export Selection
12) Type in a filename (.wav) and then OK, OK.
13) Copy the file the Windows/ on your phone and select it in the alarms screen. It works for me.
Notes:
*) Alarms have to be in the following format:
- 32bit floating point WAV
- 11025kHz
- Mono
**) Alarms have to be in the Windows/ folder.
****) You do ABSOLUTLY NOT want the whole song as an alarm! The filesize is huge (~20MB for one song in alarm format, as it is uncompressed. And because the Windows folder is on the device, you can't put it on the memory card.
*****) You can preview the selection if you click play. there are also useful tools such as Zoom in for more detail, fade effects etc. Just be bold and experiment a bit. Fade out for example will take your selection and fade it.
Greetings.
I was seriously disapointed when I found out that my new (first of mine) SMARTphone couldn't do several things that were absoutely elemtary with all my old SILLYphones. Why the hell can't I use the .mp3 as wake up alarm why the do I have to mess around with those .wav files?!
And when I've found a sutable alarm tone then when it rings the snooze options for 5, 10, 15 min are sooo small that it is rather impossible to hit the right one with fuzzy head at morning. I have to admit I've overslept twise because of that.
Luckily it's a SMARTphone and we don't have to stick with the "great" development work from M$ - thees guys probably never have to wake up because they are always at work
So I downloaded an app caled g-alarm that adds a funn element to the waiking process - you have to complete a maze to snooze the alarm.
I thing better idea is to instal g-alarm. It's free, you can set mp3 as alarm tone and it has lots of other functions. Stock alarm sucks in fact, even in new manila where it has more friendly interface.
Weird

My dear fellow from Switzerland, I just downloaded the Audacity, and, no more 11025 Khz, just 8000, 16000, 22500, and the usual 44100, mind you when I do work with wav files with Samplitude I use the format 48000......But, I found it.....thanks Audacity is improving a lot.... have a nice....
Got audacity is great on music,only on moviesound it stalls.
Mediacoder is a great alternative though.
It has transcode features for i phone and PSP (and 3GP mob phone edition for most other phones)
With Mediacoder(free),i rip the sound out of movie files into WAV.,
and trim them with audacity.
When i receive sms it's Arnold saying 'I'll be back'.
It's only few kb and you can make all ringtones/smstones yourself.
Ringtones should not be longer than 30 sec,wich is the max time my provider gives me until voicemail,so all over 30 secs is waste of space.
I use the stock alarm app. It is simple and functional .
Where are the alarms

how to paste .wav file in windows folder?
This is weird! I created my .wav file and uploaded it to my phone.
Then tried copying and pasting it to windows folder. First I just right clicked on the windows folder but there is no paste option. Then I opened the windows folder and tried pasting in there but whenever I try right clicking inside the windows folder it automatically selects a file within the folder and does not let me paste the new file.
Is their something I missing? How do I paste this file in windows folder??
Please let me know.
Thanks.
To edit your Windows Folder, you have to use a 3rd-party app like Resco File Explorer or Total Comamnder. The standard WM file explorer won't let you change anything in that folder (or edit read-only files, change ROM files, etc.)
i can not figure out how to get a mp3 ringtone that i downloaded to work when i get a text. the tone shows up in the new text thing to select which tone u want but it doesnt ring when i get a text? my ringotne from a incoming call works. but not the text
thanks chris
I got the same problem. anyone can help?
are you sure the text tone does not work at all? I am running WM6.1 stock on AT&T Tilt which I purchased a couple of days ago. Today, I did not notice when I received the text. I thought I was probably away from the phone. But when I read your post, I doubt that the same thing is happening here as well?
hmm.. experts?
maybe not an expert, but afaik You cannot use mp3 as a message tone. it's got to be .wav
br
bro
[EDIT]
...and I believe You need to drop it in windows folder
You can use a mp3...you just have to copy it to the windows folder.
do u put it in windows folder in sync or on the phone?
i use resco file explorer to transfer it. You can use the default file explorer. Just do it on your phone. I keep them saved on my card because I flash so often that i just copy them from my card to the windows folder.
mp3's will work as message alert tones. Just make sure you drop it in the windows root directory.
If your particular mp3 file doesn't work try another one.

Easiest way is to use MP3Trimmer.
"Assigning Ringtones" problem for TILT phone...
I'm having the same trouble with assigning ringtones/mp3 files as text alerts, alarm clock tones. I installed the .cab file (ringtone manager) mentioned earlier in the thread, and I have all ringtone files in my WINDOWS folder. Howerver, when I use the installed "Ringtone Manager" program and explore my files...my mp3 files do not show up w/in the "Ringtone Manager" program. Any suggestions? I'm relatively new to all of this...please dumb it down for me.

I don't know from where you got the ringtone manager app. I don't see it anywhere in this thread. Maybe that application doesn't support mp3 files as text msg alerts or something.
I always place my mp3 files in the first screen after you've clicked 'Explore' in ActiveSync. I believe it's called "Mobile Device Center". Afterwards, it should allow you to select the file for texts. Try that. It should work.
I put all tones that i plan on using in the root of my storage card... no problems.
OK i have searched and i didn't find anything that helped me
i want to change my*new text message* tone to custom tone i added
i placed in the ringtones folder, but i cant find it in the drop down menu, under my notifications
basically theres no option for it to be set as a sms tone
i tryed to place it in the tones under windows > rings..that didnt work also..it didnt show
i dont get why it is so difficult to change add your own sms tone..like wow cmon
can some one please tell me in step by step guide how to do accomplish this

I suggest you drag before dropping
YOu can also use MP3. No problem. Put it in /Windows/Rings/ Folder and then you can select it.
Or in your \My Documents or \Storage Card\My Documents
Not true....i can't find the tones anywere:S i did what you guys said...nothing.
just drop it in the /windows folder and it will work, I just figured how to do this yesterday, dont put it in a 'rings' folder
yeah it works great..thanks man!
it has to be WAV and copy paste to windows folder on the phone not the card.
>and not in ringtones.
Ringtones can be mp3 on any location just tabhold and choose use as ringtone.<
Then go to settings<sounds and notification(or so)<tab notifications(bottom tab)<in dropdownmenu action choose messages new text message<then it should be in the dropdown menu.
Carefull WAV is big on Kb.
trim your wav files with audacity(free)

I had to refresh this info because it was very useful to me and this solution was simpliest I found.
No need to convert Mp3 to WMA and it works. I use storage card method.
i cannot find my window folder so where can i put...
All my ringtones are in "Application Data\Sounds" and it works flawlessly. I can assign any tone to any type of notification.
