C500 - Help and advice with ringtones and custom ring tones

[Guest louisg]

Hope someone can help.

I have a c500.

I have put many wav files onto mini sd card and can chose which ones i wish to use as a ring tone and warnings etc.

But i cant seem to use any of these for custom ringtones. i have heard this is not possible. is this true? and if so why cant this be done?

So i put the wav files i wanted to use as custom ringtones on the phones internal memory in application data ~ sound file.

The problem now it wont read from sd card for tones i set up earlier it will only let me choose ones that are on phone, and i still cant set up my custom ringtones.

Im pulling my hair out please help.

I think you have to put the WAV files in the root directory of your mSD card (i.e. Storage Cardringtone.wav)

I am having the same issue.

Can use any ringtone in the root directory as a normal ringtone or alert but can not use them as a custom ringtone for a contact.

Is this possible?

Place ringtones in My Documents on the miniSD card

As for custom ringtones they have to be on the phone and not

the card.

i am having the same issue. Wav files are on the phone (storage/my docs). available for main ring tone but not for custom. Tried putting the files in virtually all other folders but to no avail. Would be good if someone has a good fix/ method for this. Thanks. :?

If they do not show up it probably means they are not compatable with the custom tone settings.

[Guest lucabrasie]

Thanks, just seems strange that its settings are ok for the main ring tone but not custom. Dont suppose theres a way to give them the same requirements?

Unfortunately not, this something we have all asked for since

the early days of the Smartphone format :)
