Guest pisquee Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Borrowed by sister's retro BT phone today, and got mic and stuff out and recorded the lovely ringer sound ... attatched is the wav for use as a ringtone ... it sure cuts through nice and loud on my e200. Audio is uncompressed mono 44.1kHz/16 bit ... so good quality for you to do what you want with. To save memory, there is only one ring recordrd here, so you need to hack your profiles to remove the wait times, then it will loop nicely. (for any audio people out there, used a Behringer ECM8000 mic, a Edirol UA-5 USB pre-amp and Cool Edit)Old Telephone.jpgRinger.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gavin Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Excellent, thanks a lot. I've been looking for a ring like this for a while now, it's hard to find a good quality recording like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I am a sound engineer ... so naturally the quality is good! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kobukan Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Fantastic sound. I'm a newbie to the SPV. Can you tell me how to "hack" my profile to reduce the pauses? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 This applies to E200 - not sure of difference with other Voyager models, original SPV, or other Smartphone devices. Connect your phone to your computer via active sync. Go to Explore your phone Storage>Application Data>Profiles In here you will find the xml files for your profiles. What you need to do is copy them to your PC to edit them. Open them up and you want to remove "w3" from the line a = audio (guess) v0 = vibrate w3 = wait 3 seconds r = repeat (guess) You could also get a registry editor, and edit Current User>Control Panel>Sounds>Ringtone0 and there is a script in there with the "av0pw3r" string in it to edit ... though i think that this gets reset if you change ringtone, or maybe even everytime you change profile. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SystemicAnomaly Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I love it! Retro ringtones are definately the way forward! I've just found this for my alarm (takes a lot to wake me!): http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Porta...6986/speccy.wav The infamous spectrum loading sound.

Guest pisquee Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 For an alarm clock (following the same theme) you'd really need a recording of one of those old fashioned alarm clock with the two big bells on the top ... alas i do not have one or know anyone with one that i can borrow to record.

Guest pisquee Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Is normalised to 0dB. It also takes advantage of the frequency response of the speaker - it is not puching a load of bass, and so the speaker is more efficient, and it is mainly high mid and treble which is easy for it to reproduce. I too was impressed by the loudness though, is great to have a ringtone that you can hear clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kobukan Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have followed your instructions for removing the w3 in the registry but it seems to keep re-setting itself. I haven't changed anything other than this entry. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kobukan Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I have tried. For some reason I can't copy the file from my SPV onto my PC. Error message says, file maybe read only, not have permissions etc. Sorry I'm a newbie to the SPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dkleeman Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I have tried. For some reason I can't copy the file from my SPV onto my PC. Error message says, file maybe read only, not have permissions etc. Sorry I'm a newbie to the SPV. I can't copy the file either. I tried putting the phone into another profile first, but it didn't help. Anyone know how to fix this? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arman68 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I forgot to backup my phone, and after upgrading it, I missed this ringtone. Took me a while to find this thread again. Since this is quite an old thread, for people who have tried this ringtone, do it now: this is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Agreed, now using it on my SPV M500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badhusin Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I have converted the ringer tone into wma file. much smaller, thus wont burden the phone's storage too much.. Ringer2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I have converted the ringer tone into wma file. much smaller, thus wont burden the phone's storage too much.. Ringer2.zip Think when i did this recording that either the SPV didn't support wma ringtones, and definately the Cool Edit didn't. Think, also being a purist, I wanted to keep an uncompressed filetype. Am now am SPV M3100 and Adobe Audition, and have much better collection of mics at my disposal. So my tech has moved on, but am still using this ringtone, as are family on their SPVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
