Alright well i searched around and i couldnt really find anything.
I use a .wav song for my text messages and its getting a little annoying now because it plays the whole thing every time i get a text message...
Is there any way that i can stop the music once i hit a key just like a regular phone would?
--- I use an ATT Tilt.---
there is a program called mp3 trimmer. I would suggest converting your .wav to an mp3 and trimming it down to a much shorter length, like 10 seconds or somethign like that. I am not sure if mp3 trimmer will work with .wav files. You should then be able to save the new file to the ringtones folder, select that tone from the list of tones for when you get a txt, and wallah you have a new short ringtone.

hilarious
but seriously, MP3Trimmer would be your best bet. If you have Audio Manager, you might already have it (it's inside Audio Manager)
good luck
in order to get the ringtone to stop playing you have to pres the red end call key. i have an tilt also and thats what i do to stop my ringtone and it works everytime

Hi guys
Does anyone know if there is a limitation to what you can have as a ringtone?
I have done what *seems* right, it even plays on media player on the M1000 but I cannot get the wav to load in the "Add Ring Tone" section.
Does the file have to be some obscure wav format or no longer than say 20 seconds etc?
Has anyone come across this problem as well?
Cheers
Ben
it have to be good old std wav which is called PCM
not sure if there are any length issues
try
looking if it shows up in sounds and notifications
or make sure the file is places in windows or windows\rings or something like that
Ok - I have tried a standard PCM wav and it still doesnt like it! Also tried a short 1 second one and that doesnt work!
Confused? I am!!!
did you put it in windows ?
did you put it in windows/rings ?
did you try and see if you could choose it under sound and notifications insted there you can choose both phone rings and others
add ring tones are mainly used for adding wma's

I'm guessing it's so he can receive calls silently but still be able to use the device for playing game or watching a film etc. Nothing worse than concentrating on something on the device (game, film) and being startled by the ringtone you use because you've got the system volume somewhere near max!
i need the blank mp3 file so that i can set it as my default ringer so i dont hear calls from people i dont wanna talk to.. i plan on setting custom ringers for the people i do normally talk to.. everyone else can go to voicemail for all i care.. i need a .mp3 .wma or .wav blank file
go to notepad....file >save as...(all file types)....*.mp3
doesnt work.. errors out
k i made a wma if neone wants it :x
also here is the .wav file
Why not edit the ringer profile, I can't remember the reg keys off hand, something like this:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=208366&view=findpost&p=593269
Alternatively - load sndrec32 on your pc, record for a second and save as format mp3.

Search google for a mp3-wav converter, cant remember which one i use but will update post when i get home and check.
Remember also a mp3 song converted to wav form will be a very BIG file, better to sample just a small ( very small ) section of the track and then use this for sms notifications.
There is a program called phonealarm that you can use, you can choose any sound you like for SMS.
First post....hello everybody.

I use Audacity (free) to edit MP3 first by selecting the part of the song or clip I want to use as a alert. Then you can remove one channel (right or left) which cuts down the size quite a bit. As far as I know all PPC speakers are MONO so there is no need for a stereo ring-tone or SMS alert. You can also change the bit rate but don't go to low or your sound will be distorted. Audacity also allows you to adjust the volume of the output alert so you can have a nice loud sound and attract allot of attention when you pull your phone out. LOL.
Also Remember that a SMS alert is (I think) shorter than a ring tone alert. (ring tone alert is between 30 and 35 seconds) I wont get my 8525 till Monday but I have a E-TEN M600 and I believe the length of the SMS is the same as the 8525/Tytn.
One thing to note: you can mute a ring-tone when someone calls but I have not found a way to mute or stop a SMS alert when it comes in.
After you have the perfect RT/SMS alert as a MP3 find a free app out there that will convert it to a .wav. I use a app that came with Nero.
You can also try Ringo. This is a app that will allow you to assign a different sound to any incoming sms message.
ie. I get a traffic update via SMS everyday before I go to work and I assigned the sound of tires screeching and horns blowing impatiently as my SMS traffic alert.
I tried putting an MP3 file in the Windows\Rings folder so it does show up as one of my ringtones in the phone options. But it doesn't play and my Windows default ringtone plays instead. There isn't a native capability for MP3 playing as a ringtone. So is there any way around this?? I know I can convert it to WAV, but the WAV file turns out to be 4MB compared to 300K as MP3!! Big difference especially if I want to assign dozens of ringtones for different contacts. Any suggestions?
The only thing i can think of is that maybe in your contact list you have the default ringtone set for individual callers. If not then i guess try to clear your data, maybe something you installed is making it go screwy.
Very easy .. Tap on the mp3 file and hold ... there is an option 'set as ringtone' All I use is MP3's as ringtones.
If what they said doesn't work then it might just be a problem with the mp3 itself. I think I had a problem like that with an mp3 once but I've had a whole lot of wav files not work even when they played fine on my computer. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix them so they will work other than to try downloading it again or downloading it from another source.

What are you running WM5 or WM6? I have found with WM6 that in the phone settings when you select a ring tone and exit out it automatically changes back to the default ring tone. If that is what's happening then there is a workaround. Just something to look for.
dont put the mp3 in any folder, that worked for me. i even tryed putting it in the ringtones folder but it wont find it when i select a ring tone.
Actually, I think what the o.p. is talking about is this;
Say you have a default ringer for all people. Default, or whatever. Go into your contacts, and edit one, placing a MP3 file as a ringtone (I guess you'll have to move it to windows/ringtones?). Now, if you highlight the file on the person's contact page, it should 'play' for a preview. Mine does not play. The ringtone I've set happens to be >5Megs. not sure if that matters.
So, setting individual ringtones for people doesn't seem to work. However, I have previously been able to assign a MP3 as a default ringtone for 'all' people.

I can't get this option if the MP3 is in MBs. The thing to do is copy the MP3 to My Documents and paste it under UA Contents. Go to phone settings where it says ring tone, scroll down the box, find your song, tap on it. It will pop up in the ring tone box. Be sure that the MP3 is associated with windows media player and no other you may have, otherwise it cannot be used as a ringtone. That's why I didn't get the option to set as the ring tone. The MP3 I tapped and held was associated with GS player, but that was easily solved.

Simply tap/hold/cut or copy the MP3 you're transferring from, go to windows/rings , and paste. The MP3 has been moved to the Rings folder.

Question: Why would you want to set a MP3 as a ring tone regardless of who's calling you? Are there any 30sec. MP3s out there because the longest you can listen is 30 seconds. MP3s eat up your memory in MBs that you might need to have at a later date. Why not download effects or tv theme ringtones as a suggestion only. You can download thousands, maybe more at www.polytones.net.....www.freemobilefun.net, or funformobile.com. You can download videos, music videos, other types of videos at www.mymobileclips.com. Free registration, and after registered no need to log in future visits. Check the box remember me each visit. On this website you can browse or search Metacafe, Dailymotion, Google, You Tube, etc. Select where you want to search from, type in the search box, ex: elvis presley, and videos about him will come up for downloading.
Google for Audacity. It's a ringtone creator that will cut an MP3 down to a usable size by allowing you to select just the part of the MP3 you want to use as the ringtone. It's also free.
randomly my ringtones will stop working. i dont have the volume on mute. i have to either go into the sounds menu and select a different ringtone and then go back to the one i was using or do a soft reset. its kind of annoying to do so. i just got my wing yesterday and ive had this happen to me twice now. has anyone experience this problem? also i was wondering if there is a way to stop the SMS/MMS ringtone from playing the whole ringtone even if i dismiss the message? i know i can just make the ringtone shorter but if there is a way to stop the ringtone, id much rather do that. thanks in advance.
I have this same problem with my t-mobile wing when I use an mp3 for sms tones, after a few messages it goes silent, I tried placing mp3 in windows folder but eventually it still goes silent, hopefully someone has a fix
yes exactly. only when I use a mp3 is when this problem occurs. hopefully there is a tweak or something to fix this
anyone have a solution?
i have the same problem and i've been having to do soft resets...pain in the butt
has anyone came up with an answer to this problem? i lived with it when i first got my wing, but now it has caused me to miss a few important text messages and what not from my girlfriend and other people.
I placed my .mp3 file in the windows folder and hit refresh then closed file explorer and assigned that .mp3 to my messages. It worked for a while but eventually it still goes silent so this is just a longer temporary fix. I'm still looking for a permanent fix

mine is saved to the phone. its the only way the ringtone will show up in the ringtones list for me to choose it.
It Think That It Might Be A Reg Tweak For This Ill Do Some Looking Around After I Get Outta Work
Same here...
I have the same problem as well. I've searched for registry fixes but I've found none. I've converted all of my sms rings from .mp3 to .wav and i haven't had a problem since. But .wav takes up a lot more space. Is this a problem with any other roms or just the t-mobile stock rom.
oh i didnt think about changing them to wav. ill try that.
what did you use to convert to .wav?
