Post by: aknimitz on November 09, 2004, 03:21:49 PM: Hiyas Everyone,

Hey, I've got a cell phone rington in .midi file on my computer that I would like to use - is there anyway of uploading this or something to make it available to my phone?

Thanks for the help! :)

lots of the phone manufacturers make software for your phone that installs on a pc...some use the infrared port on the phone and a laptop for instance, or if your phone has some sort of data cable that plugs into your computer..... you get the idea.

or, you can try emailing it as an attahemetnt to your phone if you have GSM service.

i know for att its 5553338888@mobile.att.net

if not you may need a cable to transfer it.

Thanks for all the input. Its a Toshiba VM 4050 phone (SprintPCS). I could try emailing it as an attachment, thats a good idea. I'll do that and post with results. I think I have a data cable, but dont think I have wireless.

S!

Post by: SOB on November 09, 2004, 10:22:28 PM: Email me the file, I'll upload it to my WML site. This'll be the first ring tone I've had up there, so I don't know if it'll work, but I'll give it a try.

Post by: mason22 on November 10, 2004, 01:34:11 AM: SOB, whats in the .wml file?

or, what are the details about having a WAP/WML site/page? how do they work?

Post by: SOB on November 10, 2004, 07:19:33 AM: If you know HTML, it's pretty similar and easy to do. You just have to be perfect with your coding, since cell phones are stupid and their browsers aren't equipped to deal with minor errors (any error will basically end up with the page not being viewable). I used this site to get my learn on: http://www.waptutor.org.uk/index.html

There's nothing too special about publishing from what I can tell. I just uploaded mine to my normal web host. You can download my page by clicking on the link above (the whole site is just one WML page), and look at the source.

I figured out a way, SOB. But I'll send you the ringtone anyway to see if it will work. One of the websites I am a member to allows you to upload ringtones in your personal folder type thing for only your access. Then from there I can pick it from my phone.

Thanks a ton for all teh help guys - Swulfe, how is your boyfriend doing? Last time we spoke he was disappointed that you werent willing to go to Canada to get married. I know its not recognized in the US, but its better than nothing dont you think?

S!

Post by: SOB on November 10, 2004, 09:22:38 AM: I'd kill to get a ring tone that just sounded like a normal cell phone ringer. Somehow, the people who designed my phone decided that a normal ring would take up room that could be occupied by queer hooptey dance dance ringers. Also, the Intardnet has defeated me in the game of finding a normal ring tone.

so, i'm assuming for midi tones, you would just create a folder like the images and have a link in the wml file, correct?

Der, ummm, I would also assume so, but I've never actually tried this with a ring tone.
