pantech duo + mp3 ringtones?


Question Posted Saturday December 29 2007, 12:30 am

i got the pantech duo phone for christmas, and i love it. but one thing i can't figure out is how to make the mp3's i uploaded to the phone a ringtone. when i go to select a ringtone for certain things, the list doesn't include the mp3's. and when i play the mp3 & go to the menu, it doesn't have the option like "set as.." or anything. any help?

you have to go settings>sounds>ring tone:

okay but you still won't be able to see it because this phone is picky about ringtones but you can fix this by following the registry hack below:

ok, so after some playing around with the regisrtry of this phone I found a hack that you can use to sole this problem, of course you are going to have to find a registry editor for a windows mobile phone.

ok open a mobile registry editor, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER

open CONTROLPANEL

click on Sounds

change the file size limit to 999999999

and change Ringtones mulitstring just to Ring-WindowsMobile.wma (delete all other ringtones listed)

open Sounds and click on RingTone0

change savedsound to My DocumentsMy Ringtones*the song you want.mp3*
with out the *s
make shure that song is in your rintone folder

change Sound to the same thing as savedsound

restart your phone, and you should be good, all the songs in your ringtone folder should now show up in settings>sounds>Ring tone:

hurray now you are done, please do not take credit for this hack, give credit where credit is due

** i am not responsible if you mess up your phone by doing this hack, its your fault, because it worked like a charm for me**

I use Myxertones to get my ringtones. 95% of their ringtones are free and plus, if it doesn't have what you're looking for, it lets you upload your own music and turn it into a ringtone. Then I think you just give them your phone number, and it sends your new ringtone via picture message. :]

i have the same phone as you, + my best friend hs it too, i think the only way you can get ringtones is if you buy them. that way, it gets saved in the correct place.[: hope i helped!
