[Guest mtipper]

Hi, :)

i know you probably have seen a post like this many a time before, but i cant seem to find the recolution for it anywhere on this forum. it may be that i am not looking well enough but i would realllllly be greatful if someone were to help.

i have recently baught a i-mate sp3i smartphone. everything is ok, but i am trying to find out what software i need to use to use MP3, WMA, WAV or other as ringtones on the phone. i have tried and only midi works.

what software do i need ?

am i doing something wrong by goin storage>>my docs>>sounds (plant mp3)

any information would really be helpful as i want to get this phone up and running.

i am on an o2 network, with media player version 9 (default) installed. no additional hardware has been installed from new.

Yeah place all ringtone either in the root of teh storage card or Stirage/Aplication Data/Sounds to use ringtones as custom personal ringtones.

It'll acccept wavs and wma for ringotones but only wavs for text alerts and alarmss :)

hi

first off, thanks for your reply, much appreciated

i dont really understand to be honest, i aint blonde or nothin its just im new to this whole smartphone idea.

so, i have an mp3, of small size for example, and i want to put it as a ringtone. could you give me a step by step guide to how this could be done, or with a WMA file as well.

cheers

Right the 1st thing to do is find a ringtone > look HERE

Then connect your phone to your pc and wait for activsync to open,

Hit the exlpore button then navigate to this location > \Storage\Application Data\Sounds.

In here you can drop wma files and use them ringtones for your contacts.And wav files for alerts and stuff

But if you just want a load of ringtones to change when ever you like drop the files onto your \Storage Card (don't place them in a folder)

Mp3 samples are not supported unless you have the latest rom installed on ya phone ( You'lll know you have it as you'll have Windows Media Player 10)
