I wanted to use the same notification for my email/text messages as Outlook 2007. I found the notify.wav file inside Windows and copied it to my device and it works but it is very quiet.
How can I make this wav file louder? I am sure it can be done but I know nothing about editing audio files.

you can edit it through windows sound recorder. open the file in the program. click on EFFECTS and you can increase the volume by 25% increments. Save it and reupload to your phone. hope that helps.

Ok guys I have looked but can't find. I have used CDx to take 30secs of"Kylie's can't get you out of my head" and have saved it as a .wav file. This has then been added to the phone in the normal manner cool. My question is an issue of size the .wav file is 5.90Mb where as the mp3 was only 549Kb.
Do I have to live with this size issue or am I doing something wrong??
Thanks
Paul
Why don't you rip it as a WMA file and the file size will be approx the same as an mp3, and your phone will play it as a ringtone.
If you want it as a text alert it needs to be a WAV file format, and placed in the Windows folder on your phone.
all
is there a way to;
A) change the actual volume of the alert (I know about turning vol up/down) but what I want here is a louder alert when I recieve a message.
B) can I download new wav files to add to the default ones with myxda2i?
B1) if the above is answered yes, can you advise how I install them please?
Thanks

I would like to add to this.
I have downloaded .wav files and copied them into the windows directory, but when I go to listen to them in the sounds and notifications section they don't play, this has happened to all .wav files apart from one so far.
Look for the Nokia sms sound file uploaded somewhere in this forum. it works on my imate pocket pc and is loud.

I've also noticed that many wav files are some how encoded in mp3. So they have a file ext of .wav but ppc will only play pure wav files. If you switch the file ext on the wav's that do not play to .mp3 they will sudenly play in windows media player. this will tel you that it is not pure wav encoding.
if you choose properies of the wav file on the pc
it should ms ad pcm as format then it's a pure bred

I have a mp3 ringtone that I want to transfer to my phone. How can I accomplish this?
TIA

Have you plugged the phone into your computer and copy pasted the file over?
I am not sure where to start, how new are you to smartphones?

I am pretty new. I have not pasted the file over. I guess mainly I am just wanting to know what directory I need to put the file in? Do I need to create a directory? I have Droid Explorer working, and Root Explorer installed on the phone.
Ringtones:
path /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
ringtones. note, they must be of a certain size, I cant remember what, but it will tell you at the time of assignment
Notifications:
path /sdcard/media/audio/notifications
ditto to the ringtones.
NOTE:
/sdcard is what android sees it as.
When you mount it in to your computer, it will just be /media/audio/ringtones.
I'd also like to suggest Free application RingDroid http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ringdroid for on-phone editing of ringtones from sound files. Very useful, very friendly, works quite well.
The file directory is:
sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
You should be fine using the default My Files app and not Root Explorer. Make sure to convert the MP3 to a WAV file.

DO you have to use WAV? I use mp3s for my ringtones and they work just fine..
mp3s are fine. and no size restriction. i've used up to 5meg files. it only plays the first 30 seconds, but it doesn't seem to have a size restriction.
if you want a specific part of the song, i recommend Audacity. easy free audio editor
ok, I created a folder /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
I then dropped a 1MB MP3 into that folder, I then noticed in the notification bar that the media scanner had started. But when I go to the sound and display menu and look under voice call ringtones, the mp3 I put in there isnt in the list. How do I get android to add it to the list?
Edit: Nevermind. I found out what was going on. Android browser had downloaded the mp3 and for some reason gave it the file extension of .mpga Once I renamed it from *.mpga to *.mp3 it worked fine.
You do not need to create /sdcard, it is the main directory. I also recommend converting the MP3 to WAV.
why do you recommend it? there isn't any need to convert the file...is it just personal preference?

THE free trial version of audacity now overlays a "Voice Logo" on any file you use it to create - basically every 5 seconds you hear "AVS Media Demo"
i tried using it last night to edit the mp3 file from that samsung promotional video
ended up downloading adobe audtion 3, you get full use of the program, free for 30 days with no logo overlay
Hi there,
I'm new here and i'm sorry if i'm doing something wrong.
i want to put a mp3 music as ringing call and alarm but i cannot find the mp3 to select.
how can i do that?or where can i put him so i can select it?
Thanks
For sure put it in Windows folder or My documents\Rings, but it only works for calls. For alarm you must use a .wav file, only under Windows folder.
Hi...
Thanks...Now is working well...
Thanks again...

Only .wav files will work for SMS/MMS alerts.
You copy them to your Windows directory and also to Windows\Rings.
Make sure you have everthing for SMS and MMS turned on in your sound settings. If it doesn't work, try selecting another file. Sometimes not all .wav files will work.
If you put an .mp3 file under windows folder, it will work for sms, maybe and for mms.
The problem is bigger:// Even system files are not playing the sms sound. Other files copied to windows directory also doesn't give a single sound of incomind message.
mp3 as sms/mms
i use mp3s for mms/sms. put them in your my documents folder on your phone. then go to settings-sounds¬ifications-over to notifications-under event pick new mms or new sms then select the sound, it will be there
is there any way to use a file larger than 300k for an ringtone?
thanks in advance!
ringdroid app worked.
Or just flash cyan ROM.
get a file manager and make a folder called media. inside media make a folder called audio. inside of there make ringtone. paste your ringtones there. they then will b selectable from the phones ringtone menu.
