Ringtones on CDM 9900
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: David2005

It is so easy to get ringtone on the CDM 9900, all you have to do when you are at a ringtone site is save the tone. Then go to your email and write mail, and you have to send the tone as an attachment. Most ringtones you save or in midi format. Then send the attachment to yournumber @vzwpix.com. After that you recieve the message open it and right press the soft key and save sound. The tone should be in your media gallery. That's all easy as that.

and it costs you money?

how many can you store at once? i have one and anymore i send it says memory full, helppp

Posted by: CestMoi

PROBLEM - PLEASE HELP....

I have followed all the directions....have saved files as .mid format, and each one is less than 30 seconds long. Then I email them from an outside client (Outlook) to my number@vzwpix.com. The msg arrives, but says it is in an unsupported format, and so I cannot open it or save it in another form. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It sounds like you're trying to get a MP3 ringtone on your 9900. If that's the case, check this thread for info on getting them to work: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...threadid=472834

saknice20 - You can store up to about 3.5 mb of ringtones and wallpapers (if you don't want to take any photos that is....this will leave you no more memory). Also, it should be noted that the max file size you can e-mail to your phone is 150 kb, with a maximum size of a little over 350 kb for the entire e-mail.

aerosaaber - Yes, it costs 25 cents per pix message you send to your phone, if you have not signed up with any pix messaging plans.

Thank you very much for your reply...HOWEVER, as previously stated, I created a MIDI file, it never was an MP3. It is saved as a .mid format and my phone says that it is an unsupported file type, blah blah, .mid extension.

I am trying to figure out why my phone will not support a .mid extension.

Thanks again for anyone's help...I am at my wit's end.

Posted by: David2005

It works for me very easily. How about you try this got to http://mail2usa.com/ get an email account. Then send saved midi sound as a attachment. It cost 25 cents, but it's better than payin $2.50 per ringtone.

Posted by: CestMoi

Again, I thank you for trying to help me, but I don't think you understand. I have tried various email accounts to send the .mid file to my cell phone. They all make it to the phone just fine, but then when I try to open the message, it says: "unsupported content type application/octet-stream filename.mid"

So I can send the msgs just fine; I can attach the .mid files just fine....I simply cannot open them once they reach my phone, nor can I save them, because they will not even appear on my screen.

I am trying to see if someone can tell me a way to set up my phone differently so that they will accept, or a different way of sending, so that they will accept on my phone.

It sounds as though I am doing everything ok, or at least in the same manner as everyone else posting here, but my phone is not accepting/reading the files.

Thanks again.

Only thing I can think of is that the bitrate is too high? I use 24kbps and try to keep them under 100kb large.

Actually he said, it wasn't an MP3 (renamed to .MID) that he/she was sending.

cestmoi - wow...um....I have no idea then. The only thing I can say is to check to see if the file is too big. The largest size of file you can send to your phone is 150 kb...though I can't imagine a midi being bigger than that but it's worth a try.

Posted by: CestMoi

(I'm a "she" )

I really appreciate the efforts here, but I have read all the threads with regard to this topic...and so, I'm really looking for some more in-depth help. My msg length is much much less than 100k; my files are in the format of .mid; I am using various email addresses to make this work.

Bottom line, my problem is that my phone is saying it does not support .mid files and I am trying to figure out why mine is doing this, but nobody else seems to be having this problem.

Thanks again!

Posted by: David2005

Tell me your cellphone number and I will try to send you a tone. I will see what's wrong from their. Ok

Posted by: danimatrix

c'est, i'm having the same problem as you. i first tried sending tones through gmail. when i did that, the message would come into the phone, and i'd be able to save it, but there would be no sound at all. then i tried sending through outlook and i got the "unsupported content..." screen. so my question is, what kind of email programs are you guys using to send your tones and what is the max size of the tones you can send. i've already sent like 8 tones to my phone and none of them have worked. thanks for the help.

TRY http://mail2usa.com/ as your email

I have the same problem (unsupported content). I think it must have something to do with the phones software (firmware?). Luckily I purchased a data cable or I would most likely be insane by this point.

Note that the phone he lists is an 8900, not a 9900, that's why he used a data cable.

Posted by: hyp3rk1d

is there anyway to send attachments to your email and then logon to your email through your phone and upload the songs from the email?? I tried but i couldnt find like a download attachments or save sounds button... If we could figure out how to do this we wont have to pay .25$ for every song we want...

Posted by: CestMoi

You do need to call the carrier and make sure you are set up to accept pictures, either with a package or singly.

Then, when you email to yournumber@vzwpix.com, you will receive the message on your phone. Click on the msg to read it, go to the right soft key and hit options, then Save, then save it as a sound. Go to your Media Gallery and it will show up as a tone. You can do this with several attachments.

This procedure is listed earlier in this thread, but you do need to make sure that you are set up to receive the pix first, or it's a useless endeavor.

Posted by: Grondar

Can you included a picture and ringtone in the same message, or must the file attachments all be of the same file format to work properly?

Posted by: CestMoi

Someone else will have to answer that one....I have only sent ringtones in one file....

Posted by: David2005

I believe you can because you have in the options to save sound and pictures. So give it a try.

Yes, you can. I did it with several midi files and a few backgrounds in one message.

For everyone using two programs to convert your files you don't have to I use Wavepad it converts and compresses plus you can edit. And it is free. FYI

I can't see where you can convert mp3 to midi.

Posted by: rhyno

Hi everyone,
Instead of wasting your time sending from email and then trying to extract them when you receive the .mid from email try using www.vzwpix.com this website is used by Verizon wireless for you to send pictures, sounds, etc. It also ensures that you are not sending file types that are too large or of a unsupported format. Just register and take it from their......oh and if you want a killer .mid search engine try this http://www.midi.donkerman.com/ you can find almost any song you want in .mid format

Posted by: rhyno

And just for good measure here is a helpful program for cutting your mp3's and doing other things like fading in and out and blah blah blah just remember after your done slicing, dicing, and making french fries to choose save as and save the file with a .mid extension. for example scottydoesntknow.mp3 should now be saved as scottydoesntknow.mid or whatever you want to name you song.......enjoy the freeware

Posted by: David2005

Hey the whole point of me making this thread was to avoid http://www.vzwpix.com the best place to send attachments is http://www.mail2usa.com which always works 100% of the time. When I try http://www.vzwpix.com it works 0% of the time it sucks rhyno, That's a fact.

I got my phone connected with Apploader, and I noticed that the game files for reversi that I bought can be transfered off the phone. Could that be any help to someone wanting reversi?

Posted by: David2005

Anyone try http://www.mail2usa.com

Posted by: Jbuckley

Well i sent the ringers i wanted and changed it to a .mid file and everything the way instructed by howardforums.com, BUT once i received it, i never got the option to save it as a ringer, nor when i played it heard the song.

Any idea why or anyone went through this and got the solution?

Posted by: Jbuckley

And they all were lower thank 80kb,I sent from AOL 9.0

Posted by: David2005

try mail2usa.com

Posted by: Jbuckley

I signed up and sent mail it says receiving and it never finishes

Posted by: David2005

That is weird it should have worked, how big was the attachment?

Posted by: David2005

I sent a pic from my computer yesturday which was 1.57 MB (1,652,322 bytes) from mail2usa.com as a attachment and it worked, so that is the most I have sent in memory for one attachment yet, but it took 5 minutes to load, when recieving the message.

Posted by: VortecYJ

See my thread in this forum about VZW techs stating 30k limit on ringtone uploads via the intarweb:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...threadid=484746

I would try a smaller midi file and see it if works. So far, I have only gotten up to a 39k ringtone to load, and a 60k tone gets rejected before it reaches the phone.

If you need ringtones and can handle an email with a 10 meg attachment, PM me.

Actually I have an 8900...sorry for the confusion.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE MOST RINGTONES THEY HAVE ON THEIR PHONE.
THANKS

Posted by: macgyver1

I don't know if any of you know yet, but the data cable for the cdm-9900 cannot used to upload ringtones. Verizon noticed that people were using Apploader, GAGIN, etc to replace ringtones and pics on the phone, so they stored them in a directory that cannot be accessed through apploader or the phones EFS.
There is an Option in the NAM programming (SMS/EMS/MMS Settings) that is locked out by a security code that is not the typical ones (000000,123456,654321,etc). So I can't get in to check what they are and if they can be altered to allow use of data cable. Also, I have tried downloading a copy of the phones software with QPST 2.7, but it says Hex scrambling method invalid. Im guessing it is because I need the newest version of qpst (QPST 3.5 i think?) If someone would be willing to donate a copy to me I could try to crack the phone. Email me if you can donate a copy please. william_belcher1980(AT)ahoo.com

I found a program called Asura that can get all of the settings off of the phone, probably including passwords and such. It is 2.24 mb and I have no place to host it. I got it from here, but you have to sign up and the confirmation email takes like 20 minutes:

Yes, I sent 2 ringtones and two wallpapers at the same time without any problems.

i am a VX7000 user and i have a usb cable for it and i am using bitpim and i wanted to know are there serial or usb cables and programs i can use for the audiovox 9900

Posted by: macgyver1

The only program that is effective with the 9900 is Asura which you can download from a previos thread in this fourm.
BitPim will not work because verizon has moved the directory where pics and videos and ringtones are stored to a directory not accesable from bitpim.

I hope someone will come up with something soon to help us out.

overall, how much space is available for ringtones on the 9900

Posted by: David2005

it depends varies maybe 20 if you are lucky or more.

Posted by: goldenlorax

Do you have to be in a verizon digital area to receive the message?

Or just a digital area?

Im at home and send a 60kb mid to my phone and got the message.

When i go to "view the message" its goes to "receiving message" and immediately to "network authentication failed"

Am I doing something wrong here?

Posted by: P$CvEtEran

if u have a certain amount of ringers does the phone freeze up or slow down like the lg vx6000

Posted by: David2005

I have 10 and only used 25% of my space, but got rid of default ringers and my 9900 is very fast still.

Posted by: P$CvEtEran

which do u think is the better choice, the motorola v710 or the audiovox 9900

Posted by: David2005

probably the motorola v710, good luck.

Posted by: mifrancis

Thanks guys,
This is so great that now I keep ringing my phone to hear the music and am starting to miss calls because I want to keep hearing the music. But really, thanks, this is really great. I found that the limit on the songs is 38 seconds. The directions are great and I have been having so much fun.

38 seconds sweet I thought it was always 30 seconds.

Thanks

Anyone got a pic message plan. Mine is 20 messages for 2.99, which is 15 cents each ringtone or wallpaper.

Posted by: bayou40

I know not cell phone provider is perfect, but Verizon really sucks.
Not only did they cripple the BT function on the V710, but now they are moving directories in places people cannot get to !!!
That is insane, if I would be using Verizon and sending them a monthly payment for wireless phone service, then I would expect that since I own the phone that I would be able to do whatever I wanted to - to the phone as long as it does not harm, are effect their system. This is absolutely crazy !!!! This is the reason I will never give them my business, and I will continue to tell family and friends to not waste their time with Verizon. This is a greedy company !!

I tried them both and settled for the 9900. Better performance vs. cost. I've also owned both Moto and Aud phones and like the menu system on the Aud's better. Also, remember the 9900 is made by Toshiba, not Korean suppliers like some other Audiovox phones.

If VZW hadn't crippled the bluetooth on the 710 I might have gone with it in spite of the added cost.

Reception on both phones is reported as very good.

Posted by: Bloodbath

This is just my lousy 2 cents about this whole ringtone thing. I know some people say that $0.25 is cheap to send ringtones/wallpapers/pics from the phone, and I would agree. However, why shouldn't I be able to just use a data cable and do it myself from my PC? I bought the phone and own it. I do not /can't hurt thier system by just dragging pics/ringtones to and from my phone to my computer. I'm in the opinion, as some others are, that Verizon is greedy and kinda screwing its customers in this way. I guess this just makes me sound like a cheap *******, but really it's more the principle behind the whole thing. Sorry for wasting everyone's time with my small rant.

Also just tried sending a jpg image and still do not have the option to save an attachment

Posted by: SPNJHockey

Yeah, besides them being down for an upgrade, once they wee back up, after attaching a file, there's no button that says "DONE" so you can return to the 1st sending-mail page.

SPNJHockey say that again?>

Posted by: SPNJHockey

OK, David...
They were down for an upgrade...once they came back up: after you attached a file, there wasn't a button that said "DONE." Without that, you couldn't progress to the "Send Mail" page.
That was on Sunday. It might all be restored by now. Haven't checked.

In the mean time...could you (David2005) check your PMs? Thanks in advance...

Any email provider that will attach files without altering them will work. I generally use Yahoo myself. I have heard that AOL and Hotmail don't work, but have not tried them.

David,

Look for the Mp3 file in the folder, right click your mouse, scroll down to "rename", click on it and rename the file to midi ext. Hope this helps.

Ok, find your folder on your hard drive that has your ringers on it. If your setup right, you should see the name of the song with the extention: .mp3

example: yoursong.mp3

If you don't, go up and click on tools, then click on folder options, then view. Scroll down till you find Hide extensions for known file types. If there is a check mark beside it, uncheck it and click ok all the way back out.

Now you should see all the extentions for all your files.

Now right click on the mp3 you'd like to rename. The file should be highlighted now. scroll down to rename and click on it. Press the end key, your cursor should be at the end of the file now. Back space the mp3 extention out and type in mid. Press ok, windows is going to say something about changing the format of the file, don't worry abou it, press ok again.

There, your mp3 is now a mid file. It's still a mp3 of course, but you can now send it to your phone.

Posted by: David2005

bossdragon I tried that and it will not work on my phone.

Were you able to change the extention of the mp3?

If so, with a 6000, you know your only allowed to have a songclip that is 30 seconds long or shorter. You can't load an entire song onto that phone. Anything over 30 seconds and it won't load onto your phone.

If the clip you have is 30 seconds or shorter and it's been renamed with the .mid extention and still won't play, let me know. I'll make you a 30 second clip of a song and put it on my site for you to download and try.

I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED!!!!!

By the way, the midi file is about 176kb...

Wow, that's an awfully big midi file. Most of my ringtones are under 100k. Is there a reason that is so big? You don't need that much music. Before that song is even close to being over, your phone will have gone to voicemail.

I just used AcidPro to edit about 30 seconds or so...actually a bit less I think...of two songs. Is there anything I can do allow a file this large into my media file??

Also, I just checked out your website, and I think all of the rap ringtones are around 170kb also...

You said your clip was a Midi clip? The songs on my site are all MP3's.

Thats what I was talking about. If your song is a MP3 with the extention changed, then ok, the file isn't to bad, and you should be able to put it on your phone with no problem. Unless of course you have a lot of original clips that you have put on yourself, or have put a lot of wallpapers, etc. on it.

The one thing about this phone that does suck is the amount of memory it has or doesn't have I should say.

I used Outlook to send 3 ringtones to my 9900 and had no problem. I also did not convert them to midi. They sound a little worse than when I sent them to my VX6000, but other than that, all was good. If anything, the files seem to be of smaller size (they were 48Kb when I sent them, but only were 25 on my phone), which may explain the loss of quality. If anyone knows why it changed, please let me know.

You sent a ringtone to your phone with the mp3 extention?

Yeah, I sent it by accident to be honest. I used the ringtones I created for my VX6000. Those were in the MP3 format. I forgot to convert them to the midi format before sending them. They work on my phone, but they seem to be of lower Kb size than when I sent them. I don't know if that's due to the phone or Verizon, although I can't see it being the phone. But hey, I don't know much about cells, except what I read at this awesome sight. Sorry I can't tell you how or why it worked, it just did.

Ringtones should only be 29 seconds, if your ringer is 30.001 seconds it will not work.
