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!

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 guys... i have a big question:
our Omnia have two kind of audio: audio call, and system audio.
for incoming call, i have set the audio at 5 level
for the system audio, i have set at 1 level.
My problem is this, and i believe so for everybody:
when i receive a sms, the audio is much low! This because the sms tone its played with system audio, right?
So all the other tones like notify, tap on display, play a video..ecc
My question is, is there a way to play sms tone with the "audio call"?
Otherwise i can't hear so well... through registry's mod?
I ask this because i feel fine with these little tones on every tap on the screen, are comfortable so i understand that i have tap well, in the settings of device i have set also "low tones" but, for example, i play a video with max audio, and logically to every tap on display make a sound much higher, loud! I hope that you understand me...
So, does exist a way to solve it? much time ago i ask me this quest... its so for you too?
Sorry for my bad english, but i'm italian... thanks a lot!!!!
Somebody can answer me please???
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...

^this x100
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.
Hi so when my OPO gets a call it will just rang one time Why is this?
I've tried to mess with the settings but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Can Someone help me please?

No one has this issue? I guess I'm a n00b.

This is a tricky one
Yes, I also have this thing, but I can't say if it is a bug. A phone is supposed to play a ringtone repeatedly, right? I don't see an option to set my OPO to do so either.
I found out that it depends on the ringtone files. Some play repeatedly, some don't. You can test this just by selecting a ringtone in the ringtone setting and see if it plays once or repeatedly.
Workaround: I add the following metadata tag to my ringtone files and save them as Ogg Vorbis files.
ANDROID_LOOP = true
Note: There are some free apps that can do this on Windows/Mac.
