Hi guys! Just wondering if anyone knows how and where to install polyphonic ringtones for text messages on the TyTN. Spoke to a really helpful guy at TyTN HQ who tried to help but to no joy.
At the moment, text message alert is using midi sounds but I would like to use my own MP£ or polyphonic sounds as an alert instead as I don't like the ones provided...can anyone out there help me at all please?
Many thanks,
Stevie.
Hi,
without a special prgramm you can only use wav format as polyphonic format. copy the wav files into the windows folder. thats it.
Good man Rob and thank you so much for the reply. Managed to find a sound conversion program and it seems to have done the job.
Which program were you talking about which would do the job for me just fine?
Many thanks once again,
Stevie.

Anyone can Help?, I have been trying to add alaram sounds to my XDAII, but I can't figure out how?
I'd like to know too, as my partner has some great ones on her new Nokia 6230, so I would have thought the XDA2 can use normal wav's we record, or wma files etc.
The Alarm application doesn't list any of these though.
Any ideas anyone?
Alarms & Notifications only take .wav files stored under \Windows.
That's ok mate - I can work with that.
I can copy any files I need to there, and I can covert whatever format to wav if needs be.
Shame about the larger file size, but this will just about do for me.
Cheers mate.
Anyone here can convert mid to wav ?
i been trying to find software for my apple to do this, where i do not have access to a peecee i dont know how to do it.
If someone could convert these

I be so greatful, email me @ m3nf(at)m3nf.com
Your wizard should be able to play midi. You probably need to convert only those messages tone.
Update: Attached 2 message tones in mp3. Using standard sound card midi-wav.
Yes they work fine as ringtones, but i like to use them as message tones, but unable to convert them into wav for them.
I'll convert the files for you with professional instrument sound libraries (think a 2GB piano, for starters). Just give me a little time.
If I posted them as MP3s (to save space), would you be able to then convert them to WAVs?
Yes i have software for that so that would be really great, many thanks for your time
Done the first, AutumnSky...
The board won't let me post MP3s, so here
I'll be on vacation until Sunday, so I won't be able to get any more done until then.
Many thanks, i very greatful for your time.
midi 2 wav recorder
you can use this app, but it is not free

Thanks for the link, but as first post say i use a apple mac computer, so i am unable to use what most of you do .
Thanks again thou.
I suppose the solution is really simple, but i still havent succeeded in doing this. How do i add my own sounds for messages?
Changing ringtone is really simple, just add the mp3 file or whatever to folder ringtones. But ive tried to put my sounds for messages everywhere, but i still just can choose from the default sounds.
Cant the p3600 play mp3 files for sms and stuff?

I don't know if you can use mp3, but try setting it on 'setting panel' saound & Notify
Put the fileon windows dir.
BTW try with wav files it work
I fixed it now.
The problem was the name of the file plus format. I changed format to wav but it still didnt work. Then i renamed it from "xxx - xxxxxxxxxxx.wav" to just "xxxx.wav". Now it works. Thx.
/j
there are several WAV formats, can i use all of them?
there is one WAV format that can really compress like an MP3.
did anyone try it?
Program for it
You can probe Ringo Ringtone program. Works easy with the Trinity. Is from Electricpocket Company.

Sometimes it helps if you use the manual!
thanks for your helpful reply!!
Dont you think i have read the manual from cover to cover- it doesnt say where i have to put the files for it to be used as the alarm tone or the message tone!!
THANKS

Ok ok, put in /windows/Rings folder on your device.
it seems that you can only use .wav file format, is there any workaround to use .mp3, .mp4 or .wma files? wav audio format is so big it will be a complete waste of memory, btw. for alarms sound you must copy wav to \windows folder
Did you know that actual size of predefined .wav files in windows folder is almost 2MB and you can't delete it?

you can use mp3 and mp3 has smaller Filesize than wav. just use a good converter and use low bitrate. you can also cut mp3 files as you might do not want the whole 5th symphony for a ringing tone.
yeah- i got the ring tone to be changed to my favourite Hatebreed song but for the life of me cannot get it to change the alarm ring tone to something other than those included with the phone..... i used to have an edited mp3 as alarm tone for my sony-ericcson..... i am assuming this phone is better and can do that.......
any ideas to change the alarm tone?
thanks

Yes for ringtone but NOT for alarms and sms, if someone know how to do it please xplain ...
G'Day Guys,
You need to use .WAV files bummer I know as they are generally larger but it is the only way to use them.
Convert your MP3 files to .wav with a program such as Ease Audio Converter:
http://www.soft32.com/download_15987.html
Once converted, connect your phone to the USB Sync Cable and let is sync.
Once synced go to >my computer>mobile device>my windows mobile-based device>windows and place your .wav file in the windows folder.
It should convert the file for mobile windows format.
Then in your phone go >start>settings>sounds¬ifications>notifications>events and select event, then associated sound.
or for alarm
>start>settings>system>clock & alarms>bell symbol and select sound.
I found that the sound file for the alarm cant be too long, at 17 sec it wouldnt work at 10sec it would................ Again I used "ease Audio converter" to clip the length of the wav file.
Hope this helps, spent many hours delving around on the net finding the answers.

BIQ
can this be stickied or put in the wiki under common problems with the Trinity? just an idea

This is nothing to do with the Trinity as such- it is, and has been, universal with all Pocket PC/ Windows Mobile devices.
As the previous posters have said:
Ringtones can be WAV, MID, WMA or MP3 and need to be in the Windows/Rings folder. Later devices have other permissible locations, but Rings is univerfsal.
Other notifications must be WAV files, and preferably need to be 25KB or less. These need to be in the Windows folder, and are selected via the Settings/Sounds and Notifications control panel.
You can use MP3's as alarm, SMS and messaging tones, but you need add-on programs- SpB Time /Chronos etc for alarms, Ringo Mobile for SMS & Contacts etc.
Anyone get "tone this" to work with their tytn? (sprint) I keep trying to make ringtones and send them but the download fails and I can't read the error message in time.. Let me know if you've got it to work for you.
I just put MP3 files in /windows/rings and they work that way. Not sure what tone this is, got a link?
Tone this is an application for croping wallpapers and stuff. I suggest you use a better audio editing software such as Audacity or Goldwave.
