Does an MP3 ringtone drain battery faster? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

I'm currently using an MP3 music file as a ring tone. The file is about 4.5MB but the phone ring is set to divert after about 30 seconds. I don't think that by using a bigger file as a ring tone will cause the battery to drain faster but I'm not 100% certain. Anyone here experienced this?

not faster. to encrease battery life, decrease brightnes and disable programs, that use gprs automaticaly.

stuttering ringtone during incoming calls

Hi,
I remember reading about this a while back but cant seem to be able to find it anymore.
When I get incoming calls my ringtone sounds like it is stuttering sometimes. It is not happening all the time just most of the time?
Has anyone heard of a the cause/solution to this problem?
Thanks.
Edit:
Just like to add that I am only using the standard "old phone" ringtone and it happens whether or not vibrate was turned on or off. (in case the vibration was making speaker terminals lose connection)
I get the same, so you are not alone.
Fish
It's due to the system WAKING UP out of the sleep mode
I have the same but it doesn't seem to cause any real problems.
Not really due to the waking up from sleep mode actually in my case.
I went to sounds and notifications and chose "old phone" ringtone and it plays a test sound when you choose it. It stuttered during this time too.
so its probably some sort of software conflict maybe???

I have to agree with this point. I never had stuttering of ringtones on my XDA Exec. I use the old phone ring tone sound.
ive found recently over the past couple of days that since i've resorted to the standard phone skin by getting rid of the "bubble" default skin, I get no skipping or stuttering on any incoming calls. Its been working fine for a couple of days now even after a few soft-resets. I suggest sum1 try it to confirm.
its a little hard to say whether the skin would have done it or not since my problem is intermittent. After a soft reset the problem goes away and then comes back once in a while.

I have GB-Soft's Tweak but I have always no idea what is this Audio Priority for? Mine is positioned at "110". What should it be?
me having stuttering ringtone too.
As i using mp3 for ringtone.
I tried lowering the bitrate & reducing the size of the mp3.
it somehow helps but i still have the stuttering once in a while.
could it be cpu speed problem?
can anyone overclock the cpu and try to see if the stuttering still exist?

Qtek S100 volume problem?

Hi
Something weird happened yesterday. A friend of mine called and my pda just started to ring at his highest volume. I checked and the volume was at the first level, level on which we hardly listen the reminders or alarms as you all know.
I did some test and the clock alarms, the reminders, and all the other sounds increase or decrease their sound level when we change the volume level. The phone ring sound misteriously stays always at his highest level. I tested all the sounds that I have in my pda and all of them worked at their highest level when selected as a phone ring but worked normally when those same sounds were selected for another sound, an alarm for example.
Can anyone explain me what the hell is happening to my pda?
Why only the phone ring is giving this problem?
Thanks

Do you have some 3rd party phone software like PhotoContacts installed? I think some of these programs have their own ring tone volume level which overrides the OS default settings.
I don't have a 3rd party phone software but I did remove the photocontacts programs to the storage.
The thing is, I did a hard reset and before I started to install all my software, I tested and did the exact same thing, phone ring sound volume extremely high.

ring delay before ring tones: grrrrrrrr

Hi !
Has somebody found some solution to reduce the delay for the ringtones for blackstone ?
I've installed the second cab here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109) as well as write in the registery (av0pw0r), but i can't reduce the delay under (almost) 2 ring tones, eventough i use a *.wma file.
I've also tried to play on HD tweak (1.7 option), but this does not change anything...
This is very annoying me, i've already lost some calls.
I haven"t tried yet a cooked ROM, but i wonder if this would change something
Please help
make sure the ringtone is on the phone and not card. That helped me a lot.
tks for your answer.
But well, i use (for the moment) the "Alarm-Classic.wav" under windows\rings, so i think it's ok from this side
How much delay do u have ?
hi.
using wma ringtones I get a response on my HD in about 1 ring after a soft reset. From the second call on the HD rings at about half a ring to the caller.
three rings from to wake from soft off.
but i forgot to say that if the phone is already "on", the delay is about 1/2 half ringtone, which is acceptable ! .
It seems that the additionnal delay (about 1 sec.) comes from the phone to go from "standby" to "on"
I've always had a delay with every HTC I've had (C500, C600. E650, Touch HD) using standard and custom ROMs with ringtones as WAV's and MP3's on the device and the storage card. I got used to it ages ago and if the phones on my desk can now predict an incoming call before it rings
Hi,
I was also searching for a solution on the ring tone delay issue. Guess that is a winmobile thing.
However there is no delay if you switch off the ring-tone and enable vibration mode only. That is weired behavior of the phone cause why cannot the ring-tone sound as fast as the vibration comes in vibmode only? And why does the vibration comes as late as the ring-tone when in combi-mode?
I am afraid there is no solution so far...
Regs!
this delay is something you'll have to learn to live with, unfortunately. at least in europe people seem to be finding loud and/or dodgy ringtones not very nice, and when dealing with the wiindows mobile vibrate mode is the one to go for.
another suggestion is to set up a caller tune, people are more likely to wait longer when they're listening to music.
ive found i can get it to ring at 1 ring if i turn off caller id pictures on s2u2
Yeah, the operating system does all the checks and clearing up before handling the call to prevent dropping, the way WM handles things, you can't get way from the delay, slowing the CPU with app like a nuedynamicclock worsens it. Well I notice a call before it rings if it is on

All my wm devices have had this issue. My blackstone lights up from sleep a good 2 to 3 sec. before the first ring. I use the old phone ring tone and have four fairly well spaced rings before vm kicks in. I just count the rings as I get to the phone and it has become a non issue. The hd tweek for it seemed not to have an effect btw. Also I'm with t-mo usa and using their code I have my ringtime set to max rings. which is 30 sec. before vm.

low battery tone

want the low battery tone, that just says driod. anyone know how to make this possible?

Low battery sound. Help

So whenever battery drops to 15 % or lower, it makes these loud beeps for every few percantages. They are louder then anything on my phone. It woke me up few nights before too. IS there a way to turn it off?
Haven't tried silent mode but I need my sound on to not miss calls.
