If anyone has any interest in playing MMF (Yamaha SMAF) ringtones on their devices, here it is. There is one drawback though, either you let every MMF ringtone vibrate to the beat of the music, or you completely disable vibrate altogether. I have a large collection of MMFs and actually prefer them over MP3 ringtones so I didn't mind to kill the vibrate function. Only compatible with WM5 and WM6.
it works on my Tmobile MDA vario II. but mmf files are hard to find in variety on web, and when ringtone music call ends, only vibrator keep calling running continuously .

hi... do you all think its possible if the phone (any windows mobile 5.0 device) vibrates with the beats when we play a mp3 or audio file on the device? can any program be written for it such that with every audio bass output the phone vibrates simaltaneously so that it gives a nice effect ? just an idea
i dont know how phones vibrate these days but last time i checked it was achieved by runnning a very small motor with an off-balance weight to make the vibration.
If thats the same method that they use today then it would probably drain your battery life after an hour of music playing.
Im sure its possible, just probably not wise
i know one of m friends 'candy bar' phones vibrated tot he beat when it rang. that's what I thought of when I first read the post. anyway think that mgiht be possible? it would be a weird program. cause i dont see how t would know the beat.
I've had a bit of experience with making polyphonic MIDI ringtones.
Nokia phones supported a special function for having the phone vibrate in sync with the ringtone. Essentially, the vibration was just like another instrument in the MIDI file. It had its own channel and responded to a certain note event; essentially, the phone "played" the vibration just as it did the rest of the "real" instruments.
In order for this to work, the ringtone had to be a properly-formatted Scalable Polyphony MIDI (SP-MIDI file), and the author had to have actually created a vibration track for the song.
As far as I know, our Windows Mobile devices don't support this format. They do support MIDI files, but not SP-MIDI. As SP-MIDI is somewhat backwards compatible with MIDI (it's really just an extension), the melodic instruments would play. However, the vibration track may be ignored, or it may even be rendered as a normal instrument depending on how it interprets the file's initialization messages (really nothing more than System Exclusive messages).
Well, certainly using the MIDI way would be much easier and, file smaller in size. However, still, theoretically, it is possible with any music format, depending on the implementation. E.g. If you would like to have the ring tone to be vibrating with the deep base, you would just get the signal, do a FFT, and get the sound spectrum (those things you get from a graphical equalizer withs bars jumping around?). If you were to use your PC's WMP, you can get the sound spectrum by choosing the visualization to 'bar' (I think). Bars at one of the ends (usually the left) reflects the base sounds. If there could be a vibrate-controlling-mech that reads these bars, you can switch the vibrating on/off if these bars exceed a certain height.
Hi,
I have noticed that my phone takes a while to ring if I phone it from another terminal. However, if I have set it to "vibration", it rings much quicker.
Can this be due to the size of the mp3 I use as a rington? I am using a 2.13MB stereo 192 kbps. I am thinking of transforming it to a mono file with lower bitrate, but I have not tested it yet.
¿Do you think this can help? I have also heard that some people have had problems missing calls, due to the time the phone takes to ring. Maybe it is because of this...
Thanks a lot.
Hey boy
I dealt with this problem and I decided that it's better for the OS that the sound file is uncompressed. So the best format that you can set as a ringtone is the plain WAV format. You can convert a some mp3 music loop, not the whole song, to WAV and set it as your phone call ringtone.
But listen: I have found out that there is an interesting thing if you want to hear ALL your call and misscalls: in the Sounds and Notifications section you have an entry that says "Phone: lost call" or something like that. Look for it and choose to play a short sound, for example. This way, even if the phone call is too short to produce any sound, it always plays the sound.
I hope this helps
Thanks for the tip about the notifications for the missed calls. I'll do that.
I am at work now, but I will do some testing with other mp3 formats and with wav files, of course. Thanks again for that tip. Should I use any special format for the wav file (mono, estereo, bits per channel) or would anyone work? Which one is the most common?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I'm using a c2125 with WM6.1 and I can't get any ringtones, including the included ones, to work. Vibrate works, speakerphone works but can't get it to play ringtones when selecting one or when someone calls.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
ringtones must be on SD card or in phone memory! and see what profile do you use!! If you use SRS WOW HD see configuration!
I'm not trying to put ringtones on it..just trying to get any sort of ring working. None of them to, even the preloaded rings. I thought it may be the external speaker but speakerphone works (assuming ringtones and speakerphone uses the same speaker)
uninstall every programm concerning your home screen. it's true and pitty about WM6.1
Hi all,
I am having some problem with changing ringtones/ playing mp3 songs in my htc touch2 t3333(spl edition).
Till yesterday it was working fine. today morning when i got a call the ringtone changed to some default tone. i tried to change the ringtone in settings/notifications and sounds. every time i try to to change the ringtone, the phone seems to work on it and goes back to default tone. i tried playing different tones from the dropdown menu and it doesnt play. and also when i close the notifications and sounds tab it doesn't close.
i tried playing mp3 files from storage card and nothing seems to happen. i can only play video files from tcp player(i can hear the audio). other than than i am not able to play any audio. and i cannot open the default windows player.
its rather strange that none of the audio files seems to play either in phone or storage.
any advice is appreciated.
thanks

guys any suggestions ?? dont want to hard reset
Back to one of the most simplest things of cell phones but that is often forgotten in the abyss of features that our smart phones have.
What is your ringtone? Is it a built in one? Custom or what?
Also for anyone who didnt know you can make Mp3's and other audio files ringtones by simply putting them in '/media/audio/ringtones' on your SDcard. Then setting them as you usually do.
My ringtone is the Song from the Radio in Portal (Still Alive Samba Version).
Heres a link to it.
Mine's the old fashioned 'Digital Phone' ringtone from the Stock N1 ROM. None of that fancy music or the autotune BS ringtones.
Also, on a sorta related rant, if people let their ringtone songs play while their phone is ringing instead of answering it, maybe you shouldn't have a phone. And don't get me started on ringback tones...

I don't care that you can take an mp3, take your favorite 30 seconds from the song, and chop it up, and make it your ringtone. I don't need to hear the whole whole "BLAME IT ON THE A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-ALCOHOL" chorus, while you wait to pick up your phone. You want to listen to music, put some headphones on, and play music.
And I don't care who it is, if I call you, and hear a ringback tone, I hang up. You can call me back so I don't have to hear Jamie Foxx again just to call you.
