when turning on the phone (after a reset or just turning it on), the phone looks for the signal and once it's found it makes this little sound (like a small, short beep). at the same time the "G" for GPRS can be seen on the upper part of the screen. does anyone know the NAME of that sound :?: file? i have a short wav file that i want to use for the GPRS connection indicator. before the low bat sound fix came out; what i did was get the name of the default lowbat wav file name; then replaced it with another wav file (overwrite).
cheers
hi
i`v done some research for you and it came out with some interesting resaults :wink: here they are:
this GPRS sound you`r hearing is the same sound that's being played when you change the volume with the side volume button on the xda and the slider is in the middle.
this is NOT a WAV file. its called standard.mid.
:shock:
here is the interesting part. 8)
the xda is capable of playing small 1 note MIDI files! as system sounds.
when you hang-up a call you hear another MIDI file called pegdisconnect.mid.
so in order to change these files, you need a midi editor like cakewalk. just note when you edit these files that they have to be in a 1 note format (1 channel).
:wink:

hey,
thanks a bunch for that info; first time i found out that the xda was capable of playing midi files! so i take it the sound i'm hearing has the name of "standard.mid"? if so, is it possible to convert standard wav files to midi files as well (using those media-file converters (e.g. wav to mp3)?
i'll give the midi file editor a try; and keep in mind what you've said about the one-note format. what happens if it's more than that....no sound?
cheers mate!
"is it possible to convert standard wav files to midi files as well (using those media-file converters (e.g. wav to mp3)?"
because mid files are a pattern of predefined instruments those programs need to make many choices to convert and the result is often hhmmm interesting and of cause not voice and strange sounds like that of a car door closing
can anyone tell me is there a function or software to make it possible for Mp3 to be as a ring tone?
I convert all my ringtones (MP3 and WAV) to WMA using Sound Forge 7.
They get really small and remain very good soundquality.

Converting to WAV is a bad idea
Convert the mp3 to WMA (Windows Media Audio) , U will conserve the quality , less file size and u can set a .wma file as a ringtone !
Recommended software: MP3 to All Converter
Oggi,zimo4321,thanx,
but plz. give direct links to download on of these programs.
google knows best

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
this is the best tool i've come across and it's opensource
Forget paying for Soundforge - use dbPowerAmp - it's free and integrates into the shell
Transcoding will result in quality degradation, but not in so far as you'd notice it as a ringtone

ok,where can i download(link) dbPowerAmp :?:
How about using using Windows Media Encoder which is a free download and has pre-defined settings for encoding for use on PocketPC etc?

this is the first place i would look for dbpoweramp
Has anyone experienced lag when using a bigger file as ringtone?
I have. When I use a .wma file which is bigger than 500k, up to 900k, there will be a lag. When there's an incoming call, the unit will light up first, but the ringtone will not start after 2 "toot-toot" or about 2 to 3 seconds later. I've simulated this using my landline to call my mobile, the lag is terrible for bigger files.
Hardly surprising when the ring tone has to be loaded into memory before ist starts playing, why do you want or need a ringtone of 500k or more?
because a 10 to 20 seconds .wma is that BIG!
Fair enough but my ringtone is the 02 Advert theme which is 30secs in length and only 300k? Encoded from an .mp3 using Windows Media Encoder.
Thanks guys
But 1 thing, did u guys actually found out that when setting the converted files as ring tone the sound quality of the files actually became softer ? is there anyway to make it louder? no point setting it as ring tone if u cant actually hears it.. thanks
1. When converting to WMA do this into mono mode (file will be twice smaller than stereo) and lower bitrate. U can't see the diffrence with this mono, little MDA speaker. speaking from my experience best result will be with 32 kb/s which gives 45 s ring about 200KB.
Check this one out http://annawhite.net/avatar/14-samuel_jackson-gmg pocket.wma souns great IMHO.
2. U can make WMA or MP3 louder with any good software mensioned above. If UR software doesn't have this function it means clearly that's not a good one . It's not easy to find good WMA soundeditor but U can (before converting to WMA) convert MP3 to WAV and there are plenty of applications which have this functionality. There will be no quality loss becouse any converting software does exactly the same (convertion from MP3 to WMA means that software does an uncompressing to raw - Wav format and then compressing it again to desired format).
Hey. I'm a musician and sometimes I use the microphone on my Wing to record song ideas. I usually open up "notes", "view [the] recording toolbar" and record. The last time I opened notes it started me out with a black note. I recorded a guitar riff, and then a little speaker icon appeared in note; when I click on the icon it plays the recording. Is there a way to extract that sound file that's embedded in this note so I can save it as a .wav file?
I've tried recording with "voice notes," but the quality sucks; *.amr files are annoying. Is there a way to change the quality and type of file?
Thanks.
PWI2WAV
adam79, a few months ago I found a solution: Look here: http://www.huslik.net/. It's freeware.
Go to Software section and choose PWI2WAV.
It converts perfectly. Just drag the PWI file onto the exe in Windows (I stil think this is a funny way of filehandling) and the wav comes out!
Good luck.
Hey everyone,
I was wondering how to change the message tone in the HTC Touch HD, to a message tone which i've downloaded over the internet
Thannks
Appreciated
look for a small program called ringo, it allows you to take small sections from your ringtone or song, and converts and sets them as either ringtones or message tones
Try convert those tones to wav format or wma format. and paste into -my device-windows.
and it will appear in the sound settings. cheers!
not nessesary
Hi. On the HTC Touch HD it´s not nessesary to convert the tones into .wave the phone can recoginize .mp3 files to
Just copy the .mp3 files to e.x. you memory card in "My Documents" - now you can change the sound in Start / Settings / Sounds and messaging
Not 100% sure on the names because my phone i running Danish language...
thanks! thats new to me. cos i'm a old xda lli user in the pass.
now HD.
Whoa! even works with acc m4a files! Great!!!
Sorry I know this is an old thread, but which folder do the mp3 files have to be put in for the phone to recognise them as a message tone?
(i cant understand the guys post above)
I would like to change some of the .ogg files in the "ui" folder but I don't know what quality to make them so they sound the same as the ones already in there.
Any help would be appreciated please
