Well I just updated on my HTC trophy and it is very good, only feature I cant figure out is custom ringtones. at the top of the list of the ringtones it says "windows phone". This wasn't there before, which makes me think they must have implemented the custom rings, but I cant figure out how to get them. Apparently you create them on zune on your PC?
Any ideas, thanks guys

Search, there's already 2 threads on this....
can someone help? i did a search and found nothing regarding adding custom ringtones to the Mango BETA version.
is it possible?
I understand that the official release, will require zune, to edit ringtones, and upload them.
Checking if you can do it on the Beta.
create a ringtone on your desktop with zune at the genre field you must choose ringtone than sync...

<1MB

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

Wow! I figured it out after a couple of hours but this sucks for the average user. Microsoft is making stuff harder for the normal folks, not good for sales.

this will likely change until release. for the average user ringtones is one of the highest priorities - just go to the ATT WP7 forums
does ChevronWP7 RingtoneInstaller works on mango?if yes, why dont use it?
wish to the chinese vision。。。。。。。。。
With Mango, a new dir "Ringtones" was created in "My Documents" and the ringtones (for example My_ringtone_custom.wma) synch with Zune are renamed as e6.wma in this dir !
Maybe HTC users can upload a ringtone in this dir with touchxplorer or Windows Phone Device Manager and it's work ? ...
MicroSoft have left custom ringtones mainly up to the developer with Mango. The API is there, but wont be directly implemented into the OS. But you will see a hammering of Ringtone related apps on the market.

Hi all,
I've been checking this forum for a week or so now and the only thing I cant seem to find info on is...
What benefits do you get if you upgrade your Magician to the latest rom?
Does it get rid of the camera speckles and snow? Or do I still need to download that camera fix?
Does it enable me to use MP3s as ringtones? Or do I again need to download another file?
What other features do I get from upgrading? If any?
Thanks for your time.
Mr. E you can use MP3 as ringtones on all ROMS even if you have the very oldest, 1.01. Just copy the Mp3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder.
I did that but it didnt do anything. Is there some sort of special way of selecting the file for a ringtone?
Easy way to set mp3 as ringtone:
Click here
By the way, if you have no issues with your existing rom and you're happy with all aspects of your phone and it's running stable, then don't bother upgrading.
Sweet that looks like what I need.
As for the camera... I guess just download the camera fix.
From what your saying Jimmy-bish the rom updates dont give you anything worthwhile then?
If you have 1.11 or earlier rom, U may encounter the famous "bluetooth not found" problem. Is it worthwhile enough? :twisted:
Yeah, sometimes it comes down to the individual phone. Heaps of people complained about that bluetooth and GPRS issue with 1.11 rom. I had it once, so I kept the same rom as I had no problems with that and just upgraded the radio to 1.13. Problem solved.
If you notice bugs or errors on your phone, search the forums and if everyone says it's the rom version that's causing the problem then upgrade. If you aren't experiencing any problems and can't be bothered upgrading all the time, you aren't missing too much. Most of the time it's just bug fixes and slight improvements, which can often be found through the forum without having to upgrade (camera patches and improvements, extended rom applications etc).

Install the snowfix file and this will change all the relevant setting to do away with the speckles etc. Can't remember where I found this so can't give authors name.
Jim
I did download the new camera from here... not the snowfix. The camera didnt seem to change anything tho, so im guess I need this snowfix too?
Problem with me is that I always want to have the latest update... so more than likely I will install the new update onto my Magician anyways...
I put that MP3 ringtone fix on, thanks heaps for that. Is there anyway of using a MP3 when you get a SMS?
Snowfix is just a case of turning down sharpness and saturation etc, i think.
V
Question, anyone know how to make the MP3 ringtones louder? With my phone volume right up its still kinda quiet, if I play it through the Media Player it sounds at the same volume until I turn the media player volume up to 100%... thats about how loud I would like it.
Is it possible without having to up the volume on a PC based app?

That is exactly what it is, but its still better then the standard camera settings.
Does that phone alarm allow you to use MP3s as your SMS tone?
Mr E, yes it does!
Now I have seen somewhere, that someone had the same problem as I am having and that was the SD card is coming up as 128mg but its actually 256mg... someone had some sort of format program for the SD card... anyone have that? As my PC wants to format it as 128 when it clearly says on the card that its 256...
btw: you can use mp3 as rings without any other prog. just associate mp3-files with mediaplayer, copy desired file to windows/rings and choose it in the normal ringtone dialog. the built in volume slider (telephone one, not loudspeaker one) works for me, too.
I have a HTC 7 Trophey had no issues with it and so liken it .
The one thing i cant stand is the default ringtones. Can i use Mp3's as ringtones
Sorry if this question has been asked
Yes, this question has been asked, and NO. At the moment there are people working in the file access of WP7, and you must wait until someone makes an app that let you modify the files in the system area.
But don't worry, is a matter of time.
Microsoft are also supposed to be working on an app for that to be released with the Fabled January update
Let Me Google That For You
Guys, I have a buddy of mine with an HTC HD7 and some version of windows on it. He asked me if I can find out WHERE to get FREE ringtones that he can download through the phone?
I have no idea and wasn't sure if I posted it in the right section.
THanks
George
atleast you can convert your mp3 to wma 48kb by using converter.thats what i do
??????????????
You cannot set custom ringtones if it's a Windows Phone 7. As for yet, that is. Recent Mango update promises to add this feature.
We are going back in time
Eventually, WP7 will be able to do most the things that WM6.x did.
Friggin' incredible. He says he can download them but has to subscribe to something. Doesn't that mean you CAN or you were talking about not doing it for free?
THanks
George
You need to Dev Unlock your device & you can use Chevron WP7 Custom Ringtone Manager to make custom ringtones.
Thanks. So bottom line is, right now, you CAN NOT get any ringtones other than what come with the phone?
If I get that manager, are there any places where he can download ringtones for FREE or do you have to actually MAKE your own?
Thanks again
George
What has everyone been doing for changing sms tone and ringtone? Ive downloaded ringtones to my phone with a free ringtone app but i cant load them.
I also remember a while back the only way to change an sms tone with switching one of the origional .wav file to a new one of your choice. Has this changed? Is it possible to add custom tones now?

Hello Floods7
I downloaded some free ringtones using "Free Ringtones" app, the one that has white chroma on blue background (don't know if it's the same
you used).
I was looking for "Yes - Roundabout" and find it. I clicked on the download button and the app went into the "Downloading page".
At the end, I slide to "MyDownload" and I found it there. I clicked on the floppy icon (Save) and finally the app saved the ringtone
in the list you find in Settings menu.
Or you can add a ringtone zia Zune, following this short tutorial:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/start/create-ringtones.aspx.
About adding new sms tones (or email, or other kind of alert), you can use the app wrote before to find them.
But if you want to use them, you could try this way:
to have an unlocked device
deploy "advanced config" into your phone (last version will install inside Settings menu, last position)
go to Sounds
choose your favourite tone (don't worry if Advanced config returns an error)
Unfortunately, you will not find their name, i.e. Yes-Roundabout, but a long number (can't know why......): don't try to rename them.
I tried it using TouchXplorer, but neither Advanced config nor usual Settings menu voice could find them!?!?!
Don't know if it's related to the fact that they're mp3... wp's mystery
Easiest way to do this is with Get Advanced Config for your phone This will allow you to change ANY tone on your windows phone 7. =D
To add ringtones you just need Zune and this handy guide
Hope this helps
Uhm... Today it didn't functioned... When I chose with advanced config the "new" sms tone, hothing happened when sms arrived...
And in Settings menu I could only find no sms tone chosen... Maybe I'm missing some other step (changing something in the registry or, simply, remove and reinstall advanced config... bah)

When you use advanced config it will show nothing in the actual ring settings menu of the phone.
However, when you apply it with advanced config it does save and you click ok. Restart your phone and the ring tone(s) should be applied.

Make sure that your Alerts are set to something like Alert 1 or Alert 9 under settings, I found out that if they are set to none, the reg hack won't take place; if that doesn't work then you might have v2 or 3 drivers that have dissabled you from edeting the reg like me.

If you have accepted any current or recent HTC updates to your phone then you have the newest drivers that are imbeded in your firmware. But if you go to Settings, About and then more information; you should see your OS, Firmware, Radio versions.

Hello Floods,
did you try this way? Summarizing it says we have to overwrite the already present alert tones... Not tried yet by my side, just found it...

thanks for the advice man it really works
I am current using ansar's rom on my HTC Arrive. This should grant me as much of a full of an unlock as is possible on a Windows Phone device (if I understand correctly). This implies I should be able to customize or change the "All other notifications" sound alert. I was curious as to if anyone already had a tool to do this or if they knew the registry key to edit to achieve the desired effect. Thanks!
There are a number of tools that can do this. One of the oldest is called Advanced Config, but I think it'll still work on Ansar's ROMs. I forget the exact registry path, but it's probably listed in the registry hacks thread on the dev&hacking forum.
