Changing ring tones alarms etc

[Guest Steev]

This is probably a stupid question but where should i store new sounds ti use as alarms and sms tones etc?

Try \Windows\Rings

Pretty sure you can only use midis and wavs for notifications though...

[Guest Steev]

I cant find the windows folder. Is it hidden?

Cheers S

[Guest daftveggie]

It's not hidden but you might be looking on your storage card for it, I've done that before

Make sure the file explore path is "My Device" should see it there

[Guest Steev]

Yeah thats what i was doing. what a fool. LOL

Cheers S

Yep put MP3s / WMAs / WAVs in your rings folder under windows. And WAVs for text message notifications must be placed directly in the Windows folder :)

While were on the ringtone topic, does anyone know where i can get some common telephone rings? Like the ones that your home phone or office phone have.

Thanks

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

itsnt that taking a step back thou, cos on my c500 WM 2k3se I could use midis wavs and mp3's(MP3's only after latest rom update from O) for ringtones alarms and other Notifications, now on my Vario I can use MP3 Midi and wav as ringtone, SMS Notifications seems to be only WAV's As is Alarms

oh why cant i use Mp3 and Midi for alarms(well at least midi files for alarms) i had a great midi file for my alarm, i still use my c500 as an alarm clock cos i cant get the midi to work and turning the midi to a WAV would be a great wast of space ;)

[Guest poleaxe]

Hiya all; Don't know what i've not done but i've copied a message notification and an mp3 for a ring tone to the windows folder on my c600 but they don't show in sounds on the phone!

By the way I don't have a \Windows\Rings folder on the phone.

Help please

Sorry only just seen this :oops:

I got a load from XDA Developers search for fantastic ringtones there.

I've got one that is a recording of an old tele 706 ( http://web.ukonline.co.uk/freshwater/t706.htm) the phone when I was growing up :roll: I thought it was from that thread but after a quick scan couldn't find it so I've attached it.
