How to assign Ringtones off of your SD Card for the Sprint Motorola Renegade V950?

[skippinjack]

I have Ringtones saved on my SD card in every single folder on the card and have them in multiple formats (MP3, WAV and m4a) and when I go to assign a Ringtone to one of my contacts, it asks whether I want to assign from phone memory or external memory. I click on External Memory and I get the "No files are found" message. What do you all think could be going on here? Better yet, how would I be able to save Ringtones to my SD card and assign them to my Phonebook contacts?

Thanks in advance for the help!

You can't. You need to send them to your phone via an uploader (rumkin works great, I used it for my V950 this past weekend). Of course, this means you need a data plan to avoid getting hit with data charges.

Gotcha. BTW Anthro, I kinda missed talking to you on DC. Do you use/have the DC function enabled on your V950?

Yeah, I have the DC enabled on my phone (got it free for 24 months...not sure how, but wasn't going to complain). My DC number is different now, I will send you a PM with it later, I am off to a meeting right now.

Since this is the only thread I could find, rather then start a new one thought I'd add some info here.

It's been discovered that if you take an mp3 and rename it to what-ever-name.qcp, it can be put on the SD card and used as a ringtone.

It most certainly does work, I'm using it now. But some odd things are worthy of noting:

Did this with the usb cable attached and phone as "external storage", to access the data card. Under the directory 'Media', I made my own dir called "My Sounds" (actually I think you can name it anything you want, it appears the phone searches all dir's under media for *.qcp files).

When you select a sound for say text message (or whatever), the files will show up under 'external storage' (I had to disconnect the usb cable first). But oddly when I first boot the phone they don't "play" when looking at them to select them. They will start to 'play' if I go to "in phone" and play a selection there and then go back to 'external'... odd

Did verify that an external selection will work right after phone booting if it's been assigned to something. So no issues there. The only issue seems to be listening to them as selections after boot up but before listening to one in the phone memory first.

You can also determine what's been assigned by going to (I believe it's called) "Assigned". There only the ones that have been assigned to something show up, and there's a check mark on the current one for what you're looking at (such as Text msg).

anyway, it does work, and it's pretty cool.

Have a question about rumkin. Once I download a file to my computer and/or phone, it needs some type of program to read it, or something like that? I'm confused? I was just trying to download a ringtone, but have a file, but must not be in correct format, Anybody help?
thanks,
