Hi people,
first message here, so hopefully I am posting in the right section. Ive just invested in an XDA II to basically help run my business when away from the office. However there is one small thing that I would like to solve before I move over to using this instead of my old Nokia. I basically rely on this waking me up in the middle of the night if a server goes offline etc. Now with my Nokia I used to be able to use a really loud monotone alert which certainly woke me up every time... however I find the default alerts on the XDA a little quiet and short. Is there any way that I can make the text alerts louder/repetitive until it wakes me up, or should I get a loud alarm wav file from somewhere and put that on the XDA? and if so, does anyone know where I can get such a file (perhaps one that sounds like the nokia text alert which I know works!). Thanks for any advice you can give me. |

Do you know if you can also get hold of the Nokia tone called "Special" which is the longer text alert sound? No worries if its not possible, but would like to have that as an option in a profile. cheers.

Ive also got the nokia alarm in wav format but its big, about 6mb. I cant make it sound very good with the means at my disposal. Smaller size means less quality.  If anyone out there is a sound guru I would be happy to get the file to them and have them make it smaller with the same sound quality. Cheers Bretto -------------------- Cheers

PPC devices can use WMA as ringtone, right? How about alarms? If yes, you could use that to shrink it by a factor of 5 I'd say. Otherwise, I take it you've got it as a 22 kHz mono 16-bit sample? If not, there are ways to reduce it! You can even try 8-bit, but that often sounds a bit ropey. |

I dont know if the alarm can run a wma but here is the wma version of the nokia alarm. I guess if it doesnt just convert it back to wav. It starts off soft and gets louder. Runs for about 30 seconds. I just recorded it off an old phone of mine ages ago and tickled it up. But I dont have the software I tickled it up with anymore.

QUOTE(bradda @ Apr 19 2005, 13:07) :oops:Yes I prbably didn't type it in properly because I am new to all this. I have had to change from a Nokia phone to and Samsung E330 as I am waitiing for an operation on my thumb and couldn't press the Nokia keypad. However I can't hear the Smsung text alert tone and I am missing all my messages. How can I download the Nokia 'Special' loud, long sms tone to my Samsung? Is it possible? I don't have any special leads or software and it is not bluetooth or anything like that . No worries. Thought I must be missing something there for a bit The E330 is a flip phone I think. I dont know too much about it. Does it allow you to use wav files or does it insist on polymorphic sounds only? In any case if you have no connection to your pc then you will have to either use your phone to browse the interent, specifically this site and post, and download the wav file (assuming you can play the file) or find an over the air download site and grab something there. There might be another way like get a friend to sms it to you or something. Hope you get it sorted. Cheers Bretto -------------------- Cheers

As an observation these files are proving pretty popular. I wonder if they should be put somewhere more accessable on Modaco.
Modaco people?? -------------------- Cheers
