Hello!
I've tried changing the registry to have ringtones from my SD card but it does't work.
I did this:
Open up Registry edit software and navigate down the registry tree like so:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>SoundCategories>Rings
Once in that directory tap on the "Directory" string and under the "String" box put in something like this:
If you want to store your rings on an SD or miniSD card:
\Storage Card\Rings\
Hit OK, then hit Yes to accept the modification of the value.
Open up File Explorer and create a folder called Rings to put your mp3s or wavs into.
Once your ringtone is copied over, soft reset your 750 and your good to go!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've Tried setting ''\Storage Card\Rings\'' and ''\Storage Card\'' but when I add the ringtone from sounds and alerts it goes to ''Windows\Rings''
I have a Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6 (ROW, the Palm Update)
Can someone give me a hand?
What am i doing wrong?
And one more thing, Is there a way to power up the volume for ringtones and calls? I've tried to modified the AttenuationCategory to ''4'' but it was lower.I read it somewhere i don't remember.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings!!

i go into settings->system and click [add ring tone]
i switch the one i want and press ok
then i go into settings->personal and click [Phone]
and find the file under the Ring tone: dropdown box
you dont go into sounds and notifications to change ring tone
If the ringtone is a .mid file, or possibly even a .wav (others will confirm?), then you first need to choose the option to 'create ringtone' on the phone before it will appear in the Notifications listbox.
On the other hand, where some users get confused, is when they cannot find a .wma file, when going into the "create ringtone" option, for the simple reason that .wma ringtones don't NEED converting, and are already in the notifications list box, if you saved them in the right place.
So for .wavs, midis, and similar, you need to first choose the option on the phone to Create a ringtone.
But for .wma files, if you save in the right place, these will NOT be available in the covert list, and instead ALREADY in the sounds and notifications drop down list.
All I had to do was to copy them into the Windows/Rings folder. And they were listed along with the original ringtones.
I have a siemens sx56 and so far I've used Ringtonex 1.44 and PhoneExt 1.2 and both won't allow me to assign ringtones to specific contacts. they always go back to the default tone. is there something wrong with my phone?
I'm using A.30.05 rom and A.33.01 radio stack.
please help!
in this model ringtones must be .wav files. there may be limmited support for .midi or .wma, but depending on the OS you have loaded on it.
yea they're all .wav files. thing is whenever i assign a contact with a ringtone it always always reverts back to the default ringtone (Windows Default) or the ringtone i already set as default for all calls
I use PhoneExt. The program must be active (it runs in the background) to overide the default ringtone. Make sure the .exe file or a shortcut to the .exe file is in your Startup folder: My Device\Windows\StartUp\PhoneExt.exe.
After placing this file in your StartUp folder, soft reset, the program will load.
You should see an icon in your system tray when the program is active.
Go to Contacts, tap and hold on a contact, tap Set Ring Tone...
The icon in the system tray can be used to dial a contact or assign category ringtones.
Can I change my the alert in SMS Request message delivery notification. to another sound soo I have one sound for SMS alert and another for delivery notification?

Probably not, simply because Delivery Notification is sent to you as an SMS itself.
not sure if i got this right but let me try...
when you say "sms alert" does this mean the sound the xda makes when you receive an sms? if yes then the sound and notifications will allow you to change the sms sound for new text messages. or you can use mortring to customize the sms sound for each contact.
the delivery notification which sounds off when you send an sms is actually named "default". it's a wav file; you can alter the sound by overwriting it with another file. normally the default sound goes "blip" or something like that . if you have a wav file that goes...say "ok"; what you do is rename this wav file in your laptop to "default". you then copy and paste this on the windows folder of your xda. the screen will tell you something like "there is a file with a name "default"; do you wish to replace this file?"...or something like that. click ok and the default sound should be the wav file you want.
btw; if you've upgraded to wm2005 you can't overwrite the files. i used to change the default sounds in the xda with wav files i like. upon upgrading to wm2005 i found that i could no longer do this...something about the rom being write protected...
hope that helped...
I have a sound for new text messages horn.wav but I like to have another for notifications. In settings ---> Sounds and Notifications there you can make 2 different sound for MMS one for MMS notify and one for MMS New message. But only one for New SMS message :-(
Is it possible to change someting in the S100 software?
In a Nokia there is only a bib for notify and another for New SMS message

Robson, I did just what you suggested and that solved the annoying "blip"my phone's been making when receiving sms. But my main problem is that the Sounds and notification settings on my phone no longer work. No matter what alert tone I put my settings to ( i.e Text messages/Activesync/Incoming call..etc) The phone always reverts to the "Default" tone. Can you pleae help me with this...or point me to the right direction as to where I can find more answers to "sound and notification" problems. Thanks...Loids

Just for info, in my Orange Universal rom, the sent message has different tone(cant be adjusted) than message confirmation(regular recvd msg tone)
Does anyone know if there are some software that gives me the possibility to define different sound setups and store them for quick access and change?
If I go into a meeting I want to change the ring tone and the sms notification sound to something that no one else will pay attention to. To do this change manualy takes too long when the meeting has started. It has to be done quick and unintrusive.
The ideal way to solve this is (in my opinon) to have icons on the today screen, one icon for each sound setup. One tap to change both ringtone and sms sound.

I am using MortScript for this, here is how I do it.
I have different ringtones in a folder A. The ringtones that are assigned to an event are in a different folder B.
For every sound setup, I have a different script; this script copies files from the folder A and overwrites the assigned soundfiles in folder B.
Furthermore, the script also changes the vibrate function using a registry setting and shows an indication on the todayscreen (with rlToday or a registry hack, both work but I'm not sure which I like best).
Changing to a different soundsetup is then a matter of launching the apropriate script.

I use Pocket Zen Phone for this purpose.
im transfering my ringtones from my bold to my captivate and it states that i cant use anything above 300k, as most of my ringtones are above 300k. Is there anyway to get around this? Thanks. Also is there a way to set said ringtone as the DEFAULT ringtone besides using the stock sounds that samsung provides? please advise.
i used MP3s for my ring tones and they are 3-5 megs with no issues.
what you have do is sync to your computer and create a folder in the root directory of the SD card (/sdcard/) that's labeled ringtones.
i copied my MP3s there and they showed up in the list of available ring tones.
you may be able to do it right from the file browser on the phone, but i don't know how to do that yet. just got the phone yesterday.
now to figure out how to get custom txt message noises.

btw i downloaded ringo-pro and was able to change the default ringtone no problem...
thats sorta stupid the 300kb cap... i would just go into the sd card and make a folder named ringtones that works usually
Get Rings Extended
I actually own a Captivate, and the only way I was able to get around the limit was to install the free Rings Extended app. I had already put my full-length ringtones in the /media/audio/ringtones folder on the phone's internal memory, after trying to just have the ringtones folder on the root of my SD card to no avail, and it didn't work.
In order to get Rings Extended to work (it doesn't have an icon on the app list), go to Settings, Sound and Display, Voice Call Ringtone, check the set default box, and choose Rings Extended to manage ringtone selection. You can then change your phone's ringtone to something larger. To set ringtones per person, just go to your Contacts list and do it as normal. Rings Extended will pop up to allow you to choose longer ones.
