6. here to find and put owner name in the device. ?
Please feel free to add new and modify my questions to help other new users to the Windows Phone.
Thanks
1. no
2. "\application data\sounds\"
3. Go to "Settings" tab, tap "Sound", tab "Advanced", go to "Notification" tab. Adjust accordingly.
4. Go to "Settings" tab, tap "Wallpaper", browse to your photo, and just set it.
5. You need to browse to them.
6. You can set a unique ringtone for each contact via edit contact screen...
Do you even have the device? Sounds like either you don't have it or you haven't used it. Please read the manual and quick start guide that came with the device. And do experiment with the device...
Hi, And Yes i have it in my hand and yes a read the manula = Crap.
its a biggstep from beeing a nokia user and now a wm user.
For the ringtone. i would like o have it in my sd card so with everything else.
i found \application data\sounds\" in my device and i realy dont want to use that space. is it possible to have the mp3 in the sd card and still use it as a ringtone if i create a folder with some fancy nema ?
3. i would like to choose my own ringtone for sms and i can only find preloaded one with the phone, at the location you mentioned.
4. for wallpapers. you have to click on Album and then choose memory card to see the pics. Thank You =)
5. i have to say that you are missing the point of the Dummy giude...
please put more effort to the answers. in contacts i can not select a ringtone for any one.
Wait. you have to copy the contacts from the sim to phone and now you can select many things. But still there is the ringtone that is preloaded boring tones that comes with the phone.
same here, where do you pu the mp3 yi like so it can bee seen in the list of the phone ringtone ?
2. Found this when I searched "ringtone folder". I can't verify that it works, since I have no need for it. Be wary of this post in that thread. It makes sense...
3. Try the link suggested above first. If it works, you should be able to place your SMS audio files in there as well; and it should be selectable as SMS notification.
5. Trying to be helpful. You want to assign a custom ringtone to a contact. So intuitively, you should look where you would edit the contact. Don't think anybody (dummy or not) needs a guide for this. For selecting your own ringtone, see above link.

I have some mp3 files in my storage card.
I am aware of software line mRing , Ringo etc. but is it possible to use mp3 files as ringtone from Storage card WITHOUT using 3rd party software ?
Any registry settings to change the ringtone folder from main memory to storage card ?
also, whether or not the above is possible, what is the best mp3 ringtone solution WITH software ?
thanks...
Well I just realized something. But is this normal ?
If I put the mp3 files in the root directory or in a 1st level directory, I can see them in Ringo sotware and but I can't see them in default contact ringtone selection.
If I put them in a 2nd level directory I can't see them from Ringo and default ringtone selection screen.
If I put the files in root directory I can see them both in Ringo and default ringtone selection screen.
is this normal ?
If you search the forum, you'd find that you've found the answer to your question. Now if you need an explanation of the solution rather than the solution itself, please contact Microsoft.
hi,
so you mean it's normal behaviour ?
I don't need an explanation of the solution.
what I want is to be sure that I'm not doing something incorrect or I don't miss something.
btw, I had searched the forum before opening this thread. There are so many threads about mp3 ringtones.

Yes, and I'd be cautious anyway. Having ring tones especially anything not in a vanilla wmv or similar format can slow up time it takes for your phone to start ringing. In addition storing the file on storage card makes this delay even worse and finally can cause phone to crash on incoming call. Not saying this will happen to you but if it does you'll know why. Once you have it set up test out delay until first ring and response time from off/sleep.

well, I decided to use "mring" as ringtone manager on my Hermes.
I would just pay for this great application but I found a problem with Hermes.
If I use mring , I can't connect to my GPRS connection after disconnecting.
To re-connect to GPRS I need to reboot the Hermes.
This means I just have "one" time connection to GPRS (for each reboot of the device)
If I uninstall mring, this problem disappears and I can connect to GPRS each time I try.
So ,I think there is a conflict with mring and GPRS connections.
Can anyone confirm this ? Does this work for anyone ?
What else can I use as an alternative to "mring" ?
hey guys, I am really desperatly looking for ringtone managing software.
please advise...
You can also put them in "\storage card\My Documents\" and they'll show up in the default ringtone manager but as mikechannon said, it takes a while for the ringtones to load. Like it'll say incoming call, then ring 2 seconds or so later.
What i do is i put all my ringtones in "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\Ringtones\" and then just copy the one i want as a ringtone to "\Windows\Rings\" and when i want to change it, i'll remove the one i have there and replace it with another one i want.
well, that's a nice idea but mring was also adding features as "ringtone to contact/category/know caller/unknown caller" , "sms to contact/category/know caller/unknown caller"
it also has "vip" settings for contacts marked as vip and it has profile support like (discreet/loud/normal...)
I am also looking for such features which the OS itself does not include.
so I am still looking for alternatives to mring.
any idea ?
Hi guys! I have recently bought a Qtek S200 device. When i wanna register on Qtek website for updates and etc. it says ur IMEI is wrong! I noticed that the code I get from mobile has an extra "00" in the end while the one printed on the box is a normal IMEI. does anybody have a clue?!
And i also wanted to know how can i personalize my SMS Alert tone?
tnx!
Q2) Settings -> Personal -> Sounds and Notifications -> Notifications -> Select text messaging in drop down list and change tune.
U see ... I wanna use my own tones. But i don't know where to copy them in order to appear in sound and notifications.
nobody to help?
you have to put the file in mydevice/windows folder in WAV format. and in notification apear the tone
Newbie
Hi Guys,
I'm new at this. I bought a QTEK S200 and as far as i read this foruns is the same as HTC Prophet.
Basically my problem is that i've got a 4GB SDHC but when i go to the storage she doesn't detect it. Is there any capacity limitation?
The reader is working because when is on stand-by and i put the SD it turns on the light, i think this means she's detecting something.
Thanks in advance for any info about it.
As far as i know the Prophet doesn't have the drivers for a SDHC. Only a regular SD card will work.
hi guys!
is there no way to use a .mp3 or .mid file as SMS notification? [i mean anything except .wav]
Some roms do, some dont. Youll have to look into it. Its not too difficult to convert an mp3 to wav though.
Windows - http://www.dirfile.com/wav_to_mp3_encoder.htm
Mac - use Toast or VLC player
cymru thanks man! I have another dumb question to ask!

I already did my research on this topic using the search function provided.
However, I can't get anyone giving the correct solution.
So,
Did anyone here knows how to change Notes SAVE PATH ??
I tried to change the registry in :
(HKLM/Sotfware/Microsoft/Notes) from \Storage Card into \Storage Card\Notes
HOWEVER,
everytime I saved the new registry, and DO a soft reset, it always revert back to the original condition, and sometimes, the registry value is "\Storage Card\Notes" BUT when I save new notes, it was saved in the root of storage card (as usual).
Please help me to find solution for this one

I'm watching this myself.. I just wind up moving the damn things. Once they're moved, they stay where you put them, but anything new winds up in the root again.
I really should look into a better notes program anyway. I have yet to find one that operates in a sane fashion for WM.
Hello every one!
I'm facing the same problem.
Jmohik
Did you solve the problem? can you share the solution?.
I'd been trying to acomplish exactly the same, with no luck. I'd changed the reg keys to target "my" new paths, but the sys just ignore them.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

For myself, I solved this issue the following way:
When you open the Notes program, in the upper left corner you'll see a drop-down menu to select different folders. Choose the folder you want (I chose /My Documents/Notes), and that's it! After choosing it, all the new notes that you make are saved in that folder.
Hi. I've been searching threads for the past two days trying to find the answer because I was sure that this has been asked before, but I couldnt find any threads dealing with it.
SO
My question is: Is there any way to set a custom SMS ringtone on my WM6.1 device that will stop playing when I read the text message? I am able to set the ringtone, but it plays through the whole song, even after the message is closed. Does anybody know what to do?
NOTE:
I am using an XV6800 (VERIZON)
ROM VERSION: 3.57.605.1 (MR1 UPDATE)
I don't know of a way to make the full song stop, but you can make the song shorter. Download Audacity on your PC http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and us it to cut the song down to the desired length. It's a good audio editing program and it's free.
Use Myxer. Download your song from your comp, make it as short/
long as you want and then send it to your phone. This is the link https://www.myxer.com
Assign custom message tone in WM6
Windows mobile is infuriating in just this way; that simple-to-do tasks are made a nightmare, if possible at all. As it is WM6 comes with no way to just select your sound file and set it as your message tone, however it is possible to do what you're after.
copy/send the sound to your device, you can put it anywhere.
open File Manager
Find your file and use menu > edit > copy
go to My Device > Application Data > Sounds. Paste your sound here.
It will now show up on the sounds list. Hope this helps
Works!! Thank you!!

Hi Metta,
To add a custom ringtone, you need to copy the file to the Windows / Rings folder.
To add a custom message tone, you need to copy the file to the Windows folder.
Once the files are in the folder(s) above, you can select it as you would a normal ringtone/message tone.

Thanks alos Greg I will keep that in mind .
An easier way that i have used on many WM devices is to just make a "My Ringtones" folder in the root section of your sd card and any music u add to it will show up on the device as a ringtone. That way u are not taking up any space on the device.

Good point, but for the sake of one song and when changed simply deleting the one you don't want is not to much imo.

True but when you can have hundreds of ringtones on the sd card and you can use them to set different songs for people in your address book it makes life alot easier. Also it is one less thing to setup if you load different roms or reset your device.
