LG Venus 8800 ringtones
Hey, I was wondering if anyone had effectively put ringtons on there Venus, and not had the "non-drm protected file" error ?? .. and if so, how ? , I've tried a couple different ways to put the tones on the phone. They work, but i cant 'set as' on the phone without the drm error.
please help.

Trevor.

I've put many ringers on my Venus. Never seen a DRM error.

Nope, 3MB per ringtone. Anything over 3 and it says that it has been blocked.

I'm on Telus and I"ve managed to add my own ringtones, I tried following a few tutorials, but mine never worked when I tried putting them where everyone else apparently successfully put them, so it might be different on Telus so I'll post what I did, might help someone!

----------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU"LL NEED
-usb cable that came with the phone
-BitPim installed on your computer
----------------------------------------------

1)plug the phone into your computer using the usb cable. When asked if you want to "connect phone to pc using usb" say NO or BitPim won't connect.

2)start up BitPim, choose the 8800 for phone type. Under 'view' select 'View Filesystem'. Put your ringtones in the filesystem here:
brew>shared>ringtones

DONE!

A couple of points:
-save your ringtone as mp3
-max length of 30 seconds
-if you use Audacity set the mp3 to highpass of around 300 to limit the bass so it won't distort

Hope that helps you Telus users! I spent a while troubleshooting to figure this out!

I have several ringtones over 1 min... My gf has a 3 min ringtone (she has an 8550 though) but, I found that as long as it is under 3MB you're ok.

Ahh ok, I thought the ringtones will stop after 30 seconds even if they're much longer, but never tested that so could be wrong
