Sounds from Storage Card

[Guest Millar]

Hi guys, first post on Modaco! I have recently got myself a SPV E650 on a free contract upgrade from Orange. This is the first Smartphone I have had since the original SPV from Orange.

I have bought myself a 2GB MicroSD card and I was just wondering if WM6 still has the same old problem of not being able to access sounds for the use of ringtones that are stored on the card.

I believe that I used to have an application that would allow this for WM5 but I'm not able to find it now (it was a while ago!).

Any ideas?

I have just found out how to do it, the mp3 files needed to be on the route of the storage card. /storagecard/

Message alerts still need to be on the phones memory though :rolleyes:

Not exactly.

Here's a little trick for the registry so you may use any sound in your storage card

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\[event] and edit keys like in the following example

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0

You can also modify the sound will be played by changing/adding the "Sound" and "SavedSound" keys. Sounds in any folder may be chosen.

Former keys may look like this: Sound="\My Documents\My Ringtones\sound.mp3" or "\Storage Card\folder\sound.mp3" (without quotes)

Any notification sound can be customized using this method.

Tested and working on my new Vox :P

Hope it'll be helpful

All my custom sounds are in \\Storage Card\My Documents. All the *.wav,*.wma and *.mp3 files in there are all selectable for Ringtones in Settings > Sounds. All the *.wav files in this folder are selectable for notifications/error sounds etc.

No registry editing required :)

as paholman has mentioned, if you put them in "My Documents" on your storage card then they are avalable by default. It's been like this since at least WM2003se.
