I know about custom ringtones, but is it possible to make custom alarm tones?

[jkool]

I have read & figured out how to do the custom ringtones with no problems.

Is it possible to make custom alarm tones?

I put the file on the mem card & that did not work, then I transferred the file to the phone via File Manager & still nothing?

Anybody have any insight on this?

Thanks!

Get an mp3 file and change the .mp3 to .qcp then email that file to yourphonenumber@vmpix.com then open the attachment on your phone and set as alarm. I'm not sure but I don't think you can use long song files. I tried sending myself a 44 second ringer and it wouldn't work, but then I tried a 26 second ringer and it worked. Then again something else could have been the problem I just don't care enough to look into it more.

Thanks....I will try it!

I just did what TheRickNicholas said to do and it worked! Thanks TheRickNicholas!! The default alarm tones were driving me crazy. It was either too loud and it would startle me (not how I'd like to be woken up) or it was too soft that I couldn't wake up to it.

Just tried it too & worked like a charm!

Thank You!!!!!!

How do you do this with custom tones? Is it different?

[TheRickNicholas]

You're welcome everyone, but I just got this info from the ringtone thread in this forum and figured out that it works for the alarm.

Sorry don't quite understand what you mean. Do you just want an mp3 for your ringtone when people call you? If so that same method works or you can change the .mp3 to .3g2 and put it in the same folder as the one your phone saves pictures to then go to settings-ringers-incoming calls and change it to the .3g2.

Yea i wanna do that....But thats what i don't understand how do i put it in in a different format? Also i don't have a memory card for my phone do i need that?

I COPIED THIS FROM SOMEONE ELSE BUT IT WORKED FOR ME:

1) make sure you have the sd card on the phone
2) connect phone to computer via usb
3) You will see the DCIM folder on your computer.
4) Create another folder outside of DCIM (root). I named mine RINGTONES (any can be used).
5) copy mp3 or midi files to that folder.
6) rename all files to 3g2 extension.
7) Hit backspace on the phone to make sure it disconnected safely from computer.


8) On the menu pf the phone...
9) Click Home-> Main Menu -> Tools -> Mass Storage -> File Manager ->
10) Select the folder you just created and the file you wish to use.
11) Click "More" -> Assign -> Incoming Calls ->

So this requires a memory card right?

Yes, all methods require a micro sd card.

I dont know about that? DO a google search & you should be able to find info on it.

You can snag a mem card on ebay cheap too!
