Alltel Touch Pro, Basic Wm 6.1 not TF3D.
If I can, where do I put the clip, and how
long (secs) should it be? Would it repeat
if unanswered?
If not, how do I convert from mp3 to wma
to make it usable?
Thanks
Update: further searching told me to put it in
\windows\rings\ that worked, but its very low
volume. Is there anything I can do to make the
sound louder. I'm hard of hearing, I use the
speakphone with the 'boost sound cab' for
normal talking. I do feel the vibrator, but would
like to hear the ringtone too. I can hear the
default ring tone which I set to old ring2
preset as its load enough to hear.
thanks
dunno about the volume but...

Use this program to increase the volume of your sound file. I do not use this application, but it is free, I use a different application that must be paid for.
Anyways, I do know that this app is very easy to use.
Steps:
1. Open sound file with audacity
2. Select or highlight the parts of the sound file that you want to increase volume
3. Look for an option such as: "amplify" "amplification" "increase volume" "make louder" etc...
Anyways...because I don't use this program I cant specify to you the exact steps or wording.

audacity truely is a wonderful sound capture application.. unfortunatly as it's not professional enough it kinda ruins the quality of your files if you amplify them.

I just installed the X-plore ROM last night and I love it. The only thing that is bothering me is a certain system sound. I first heard it when booting into WM6 for the first time before the on screen tutorial, and now I hear it when I get almost any kind of error. It's a rather obnoxious noisy sound and it even irritates my cats. I don't know what the sound is called but I sure wish I did. It is a kind of stuttering noise and it definitely seems to be associated with certain events, but I'm not 100% clear on which events exactly.
It isn't listed in the Sounds part of the control panel (I tried listening to all of those) and it isn't in any sound file in the Windows folder. I tried using Search to find files that are .wav , .wma , and .mp3 but Search doesn't seem to look in all folders.
I found out how to disable specific event sounds with a registry tweak but I would rather just know where this sound is stored so I can change it if possible. I tried searching the forums here but I'm not finding anything useful.
Many thanks in advance for any help!!
p.s. I just realized I forgot to say this is the PDA Mobiz version of X-plore , so it might have been added somewhere down the line.
I have set an MP3 to alert me when I get a phone call coming in but can see how to do it for a text message. I'm sure its' something obvious but I can't see it.
Any idea how to set it up please or even if it's possible?
A friend of mine pointed that out and I just noticed it. Any help?
create the file and place it in the Windows folder
I tried doing this but it cant seem to find the file in the windows folder..must it be in wav format or is mp3 ok?
I dont think it matters but mine are in WAV

No, you have to place it in \Application Data\Sounds. Afterwards it will be available in the list shown in settings for event sounds.

All that you must do is to put mp3 files in a folder called my documents, on device or on storage card an you will find in tones list
Not sure if you just kinda overlooked this, but while you can change your Ringtone for calls from the "Phone" option in settings, you have to go to "Sounds & Notifications" for text messages.
I just put my sound files in the root folder of the storage card and it shows up.
Must be a wav file, must be in windows directory for you to use it as a sms alert. Nothing else will do.
MP3 works as well - at least on my TP with stock HTC German ROM.

My mistake, you are correct. Had to put the MP3 in Windows>rings.
Must be new to WM6.1
If it's a long MP3 can you stop the music or does it carry on till the end of the file??

im using the fuze, with RRE 4.5 rom, with mine if i place my mp3 on the window root folder or in rings they work for phone rings, but not able to select on text message, so i did as you said, place my mp3 in application data\sounds and bingo they work. only downside is you have to hit the "end" call button. you can mute it with the volume buttons, so if a text come in and its in your holder you have to take it out and hit the end button. hope this helps

Why not find and employ the MP3 trimmer that comes on the Touch Pro in many markets - or edit on your desktop with any of the readily available programs? You could have it go on for - like 5 seconds, then quit.
Personally, I save songs for ring tones and use the jetson's doorbell for SMS and MMS and HAL from 2001 saying: "There is a message for you..." for incoming emails.
Topic, please help out. Thanks in advance
1. Goto Programs
2. Open MP3 Trimmer
3. Trim if you like
4. Set as Default Ring Tone from options
This should be the easiest way.
You can also copy the mp3 into the Ring folder inside Windows folder. This might work as well.
To get a custom sound to work for any notifications, they must be in the .wav format and be in either the \windows\ or windows\ring\ folder depending on the default for your device (HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory)
Easier way
Guys guys... Hold up. There is an easier way:
\\My Documents\My Ringtones\
If you don't have it, make the directory. This has worked since the Magician. You can select all files *.wav/*.mp3 in this dir. No editing no nothing. They will appear under sound options...
What I've done and it seems to work is, just take the .mp3 and put it in the \\phone\My Documents\ dir and then it appears in the little drop down menu in the sounds tab.
What I want to know is, is there a way to get it to stop vibrating and playing the sound after there has been some input on the phone, so that my .mp3 ringtone wont play for 2-3mins everytime I get a new SMS?
How do i create them??
Cant find anywhere that shows us who to use the updates
Need to edit an mp3 (and wma i think) file to be less than 30 seconds and set its category (in zune or file properties) to "Ringtone". Sync. Mission Accomplished.
Also, they should be nonprotected. Try using audacity (plus the LAME plugin for mp3 exporting).

Exactly what I said
OK, so have any of you guys actually TRIED To perform this, actually tried to follow his advice? I have and I don't get past 4 minutes and 19 seconds of this video. I will tell you WHY. In the updated Zune there is not OPTION ringtone or RINGTONE as was in his case for genre. Not only do you have to trim the ringtone to a smaller size but you have to change GENRE. AND RINGTONE is not an option available in my ZUNE. So what do we do NOW?
By the way, I use several phones and for that reason I need to use 3 Sweden for my smartphone, just so you know. AND to answer myself. Use a meta tagger editor to change the genre field to RINGTONE, that is the trick.
I've done 2 now and they work fine.
After you've trimmed and converted your file, add it to zune then edit the file and delete the genre and type ringtone.

I'm not allowed to insert links yet
Edit: or as you say a mp3 tagger.
On another note, anyone know if we can do custom text alerts???
Hello.

You don't have to choose from the list in Zune. Just type it in. The list is just a common set of genres, nothing more. -_-'

Custom ringtones are only for contact phone calls.
So we have to stick with the 10 anoying ones that came in the mango.
I think i will buy another phone with other OS.

I believe there is a hack or someone is working on a hack to let you use custom alert tones. Try doing a search, and you'll find something.
But otherwise yes, by default, ringtones can only be customized for phone calls.
No, thats just stupid. I'll explain it. This is too easy and yall are making it complicated. I use Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 to adjust my ring tones to the appropriate size. Just make sure you set it as a WMA file when you encode. As far as Zune goes, no, "ringtone" is not in the drop down list, so you actually have to TYPE it the first time. After that it STAYS in your drop down list. YES it works, I've got 20 custom ring tones on my LG Quantum right now using this method. I lost all my custom ringtones when I updated to 7720. You can also generally get the right file size and type from http://audiko.net/ you can download your ring tones for free, sync them to Zune then sync them to your phone. BEAR IN MIND IF IT IS OVER 39 SECONDS IT WILL NOT COME UP ON YOUR RINGTONE LIST ON YOUR DEVICE, SO U MAY NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK IT AND USE THE EDITOR. Oh, and NO. WE CAN STILL NOT MMS audio or video or set custom tones... ive been trying to figure out how to do that for months... still have not been able to find a hack. I figured out how, but it seems that part of the OS is read only... so I can not seem to over right it with my own tones... Why? **** if I know... ask MS.
anyone know if i can personalise my notifications,as i can't really hear googles ones when phone is in my pocket,far to low

Yes, you can add more sounds. On your sdcard (internal storage) there's a folder called notifications and one called ringtones. Simply put the sounds you want to use in the appropriate folder. They'll then show up in the list of sounds available when you go to change the sound. You may have to reboot after adding them in order to see them.
Or if you're rooted, install viper4Android to boost audio levels
I got a smartwatch band to do that, Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro, no way to hear or feel the phone in your pocket while walking outdoors

thanks,that's what i will do :good:
Install something like Audacity on your computer, then boost the audio levels, and push back to your phone. It may clip though depending on if you boost too far.
