Coupled with a "Hello Kitty" theme?!?
That has to be the most nauseating Universal yet.... :wink:

Here are two of mine.
The "Numa Numa" Dance is still very popular around here, so, here's Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone.
Also, the dance version of "California," the theme to the teen show O.C. on Fox, is pretty cool sounding.
Both in WMA format.

I have the Codec "chirp" sound from Metal Gear Solid
I have also the final fantasy advent children ringtone :lol:

ctu ringtone does not work...can somebody plz post it here?

I have the MTV ringtone .
Starts simple and not loud, and the longer you wait the louder and cooler it sounds .

Haha... Yup, you're right... It could be the cheeziest device ever.. it probably would make you swoon (mind u, i didnt use nauseous.. ). And the hello kitty theme is in Pink!! Guys from HTC would probably kill me if they saw it.. haha..

Answer me
I use this....

What an ANNOYING ringtone that last one is - and fancy getting a chap that can't pronounce his R's/W's to record a speaking ringtone!
I liked the intro theme to 24 so I've sampled it from an episode, and have attached it - enjoy! Great to use as an incoming SMS tone.

BTT, i actually downloaded the OC ringtone from your site and it's still my main one! kind of embarrasing though when the OC ringer goes off in public and everyone gives you that look - we all know how loud the Jasjar's volume is.

Try doing that with the Numa Numa song and you'll get snickers like I do.
Perhaps I should make one for the "Chronicles of Narnia" rap by SNL.
That is hilarious!

Bit boring but I'm for the old style business ring tones. The ones you used to get on phones!! There are a few via link to choose from
http://myt610.lasyk.net/sub/109/ALL/date/1/T610-Ringtones-Business-page1.html

I'm using the "Pick up the phone" one from this forum, but I can share with you my alarm sounds :lol:
Trust me, they are working in the morning! :wink:
Enjoy!

like this one
get lots of today plugin threads, never seen ringtone before though, impressed,
Ok for ring alert (and alarms) using a rip and convert to wav of the Car Alarm from Peter Kay's Pheonix Nights,
Get back You b______D I'll Break Your Legs, Beep
for text, ripped the very beginning of Hits From The Bong by Cypress Hill,
Does sound like its in water though

Text to Speach Ring Tone Possible?

There seems to be lots of free and open source text to speach code out there: http://sig.levillage.org/?p=551
So, wouldnt it be cool to have your universal say 'Incoming call from <contact name>' instead of your usual ring tone? It gets right around the problem of having to open up the screen to see who is calling.
It would also be a great gimick for people with other phones too. Talking ring tones havent even been done by Nokia yet. 8)

There is the Fonix range which can read your email, but I don't know whether it'd be able to read your SMSes too.
Not to be a stick-in-the-mud, but why would you want SMS-to-Speech?
"Dot Dot Dot Forwardslash dot dot dot Open Bracket dot dot dot", and that's just the first line of one of those cutesy smsses. Or the ones where each letter is converted into it's visual brother, but with umlauts and all the other diacritical marks (accents, breves, circumflexes, spiritus and hooks)? To the english speaking person, the letter "ß" looks like a funky "B", but in germanic, it's an 's" sound.
And "Ur th bst 1 n da wrld" (not a good example, but you get the idea) does not translate well if not heavily interpreted first.
It'd be a "neato" feature, which you'd uninstall after a day's usage.

Can Microsoft Voice Command read up a contacts name and tell me that?
.. Microsoft Voice Command is it worth buying?

Messed around with MS voice command a bit.. havent been using it much before because I dont need the features much over the built in thing. I tried turning on the announce incoming phone calls option, but its really soft. (Far too soft to hear). The normal ring tone plays for a second, then goes soft and I assume the voice command is trying to speak after that, but its too soft to hear, even with the phone next to my ear.

I agree, I love the Voice command function that tells you who's calling but yes it is way to quiet so I usually turn it off, it needs to be load and not trying to swap between the ringtone and voice command telling you the person who's calling. So yes a specific program to do this as a ring tone would be great.

Interesting thread. This is a great idea, but I have to say, MSVC does the job so well, it's probably not worth expanding beyond there. However, I'm looking into a general text to speech solution for PPC.
Our best bet is flite, which is a relatively large install and doesn't sound very good.
However, an easy way for you to start thinking about this is to check out the app WordBook. I think it installs a version of the Flite dll. You can copy text and get it to speak it straight back to you. The speech is quite poor quality, but it gives you an idea. Now I imagine you can access this externally, and so you can intercept SMS, calls etc and get it text to speeched.
However, since MSVC is installed in traditional SAPI form, it should also be externally accessible.

Voice Command
I have just tried the demo of Voice Command on universal, but i couldnt get button on bluetooth headset to activate it. Also it would be nice if the caller name being read out would be good over the bluetooth headset.
Can and of the genius's on this site create such a programe. Or anyone know of any other programmes.
Using the phone in clam mode means you dont know whos calling, and as i use my bluetooth headset all the time, it would be nice to know whos calling.
Thanks in advance
Tim

timha: there are about 90 threads on the VC+Clam issue. Non successful, but helpful...

I dont know about that. Have you tried using the announce incoming calls option? On my universal, no matter what settings I try, its simply impossible to hear what VC is saying while the phone is ringing. So for me, VC definately doesnt seem to be doing the job very well at all.
Has anybody been able to get VC to properly announce the caller ID?

No VC is to quiet, so useless

Aaah, ok, I don't use my universal as a phone, and just remember it from the Magician, when it would announce calls. I think there's a thread around trying to resolve this issue though.
V

Voice Command has a known problem of being extremely quiet on the Universal.
Somewhere on this site there is a fix CAB file that ostensibly makes the volume higher. I hadn't found a major difference, but look for it and try.
The announce works best if you turn the ringtone off and use annouce only (make sure your normal volume - not ringing volume - is turned way up)

No good, its still very soft. Having the volume on full is also quite a hindrance, since you have to keep turning it up and down all the time. As they said back in November, we'r going to have to wait on an update to make voice command properly compatible with WM5. There doesnt seem to be any move by Microsoft to actually do this, though.
Strange that nobody has really used voice caller ID on the Universal before - it seems the obvious choice for a ring tone to me on a phone like this.

The hack for increasing sound - never tried it, but it involves, IIRC, changing the attentuation type in the notification settings.
V

Hi.
I only have Voice Commander. Is it different from MSVC? I keep looking for the announce incoming calls but couldnt find it. Voice Commander has been in my phone when I bought it so I just use what's available but it gives me so much headache. When I say "Call John", it gives me several names that dont even sound close to John. Grrr! I even put tags on the names individually but my VC is so deaf! Is it because of my bluetooth headset, VC or is it the phone's fault?
thanks

I've been using this for a couple of years now:

Type your message, pick and voice and download the WAV
Nice and easy and works VERY well so check it out

->>>
aside from microsoft voice command; what i use is mortring...i'm sure you guys are familiar with this app...it allows you to assign ringtones and sms sounds to individuals in your contacts. using the xda's microphone, i made my own ringtones by recording either my voice or someone else's. example; i deal with a lot of raw material suppliers and i get calls all the time. when this guy working for a foundry calls me up; the sound i recorded goes "mr. johnson is calling". for others whom i've developed good relationships with, i asked if i could record their voice and use it as a ringtone....so if my supplier from an aluminum die caster calls my xda goes "hi robson, this is ch lim". sms' are easy since you can do the same and assign them for that particular contact. when i receive and sms, my xda goes "text message from ____". for the people who call me that are not in my contacts list; the default ringtone i've set sounds off. this is very convenient for me when i'm driving or the like, no need to look at the phone and simply activate the bluetooth headset.
you don't really have to go and search the net for ringtones all the time; you can use the xda's recorder to actually make them. the format output is in .wav file. for text to speech for sms, i agree that would be a very interesting feature...flite is a good app...perhaps vijay can link up something for sms? but then that would probably violate the license thingee for flite...

video ringtones

hi all,
any s/w available for having video ringtones on wm5 ?

why would you want video ringtones?

Something eye catching for deaf people?

it looks cool...so is nethin 4 tht available ?

time to keep this post on the top of the thread. someone please code this up before apple takes credit for one more thing.
http://gizmodo.com/5020939/video-ringtones-for-iphone-revolutionize-answering-your-phone
and i dont want to hear "oh thats stupid" because after apple does it...it will be the best thing since slice bread.
it would be nice to see it in a program like S2U.

If I could work out how to capture calls, I'd give it a shot... But, I haven't worked it out yet!
I hate Apples marketing lies too!

VERY DOPE IDEA.....someone please hop on this

ya for real i will donate or pay. we need something way cool to shut the iphone people up. video ringtones

maybe itll be easier to start with animated flash or gif instead of full vdeio clips? very interesting idea indeed!

If you could capture the incoming call
the all that woyld be needed is like tcpmp to play full screen video
or even wmp instead of audio ringtone
With 2 buttons Ignore and answer
And of course the caller ID info displaying
I havet written code in 10 yrs and I was never that good
i wish i was though
This is a great idea
But sprint phones had Video Ringtones like 5 years ago
On the sanyo mm500
So APPLE didnt revolutionize sh**
But WinMo can make it BETTER!!!

Apple are not revolutionary, and this is done by a seperate company anyway...
I'll package up a very basic call capturer as a test to see if it works in theory... Then I'll try and embed some form of media player...

could we maybe modify photo app by removing limitations (picture format),so it can play gif's as someone mentioned....or maybe a plug-in will be enough....it'll just take to make a plug-in

I was just wondering yesterday why WM phones can't do this. Seeing that a lot of non-smartphones can do it. I don't really mind since it's kind of pointless. I have S2U2 showing who's calling me, which is actually useful.

I think this is a cool idea, not sure that I would use it, but nevertheless..nice idea

Here's a quick test app to see if it's possible to intercept the calls...

You would like this-
My boss left his phone unattended when he went into a meeting so I set that as his incoming e-mail notification. A couple hours later I was out of the office and he sent me a text message "THANKS FOR MY NEW NOTIFICATION PUNK!" He said freaked out when it went off and couldn't figure out what it was. I laughed my @$$ off! Now he's kept it as his notification and loves it.

Where to get classy sms tones?

As you may already know, the tones that came with the HD2 are lame So for ring tone, I use one of my fav songs. But I have trouble picking a tone for sms. I've searched the forum but most of the links offer cheesy sms tones like "hey baby" or something. So, does anyone know where can i get some classy sms tones? Thanks.

Weeell...
My idea of classy might be quite different to yours but check the link in my sig.. you might find something there.......
You can pretty much set any sound you want as long as you can get a hold of it on your computer, just cut out the part you want, save it as a .wav file and throw it in your /windows directory...
Theres plenty of free .wav editing software on download.com or other such sites.......
