Nokia 6205 Custom Ringtones

Hey everyone,
I recently picked up a Nokia 6205 and it seems like a pretty neat phone. I got a USB data transfer cable so that I could create my own mp3 ringtones and use them on the phone. However, while the cable allows me to transfer the mp3 files into the "My Music" folder, I have no way of transferring them into the "My Ringtones" folder or using them as ringtones, period.
Would procuring a microSD card solve this problem? Or is there some other way to use downloaded mp3s as ringtones? The Verizon employee at the store promised me that this was possible, so I'm going to be pretty upset if it turns out not to be true.
Thanks very much.

Hey,
I ran into the same problem. There's a workaround for applying a high-quality ringtone for your personal ring. However, you can't assign it to anyone in your contacts.
I wrote a tutorial on my blog at:
http://jasondenney.com/nokia-6205-dark-night-edition-custom-ringtone-hack-tutorial/
Basically, you save your song clip as a MP4 video file. Using a cable or MicroSD card should let you put the file in the "my_flix" folder, and it should work.

Nokia 206, Custom welcome message and ringtones?

Hi,
Is it possible to add a custom welcome message and custom ringtones to this phone? My wife had a Nokia Music Express 3330 (I think that was the model), the phone before last, but it went faulty. She had her own welcome message and a few custom ringtones.
If it is possible, how would I go about doing it?
Phone only arrived today.
Thanks,
Gerald

In the menu under settings is 'phone'. in there is the start up alert tone function. you can adjust this to off.
Im not sure if you can turn off the other tone alert mentioned in your posting.

Custome Ringtone in Lumia 800

I dont know whether this is already addressed as I couldnt find any news about this in previous messages where it says only on how to create a custome ringtone. but this is not the problem for me
My problem we have the set of default ringtones from both Windows Phone and Nokia pre installed and those from Insider app. I made many custome ringtones, but none of them has the qualit and sound that of preinstalled or Insider ringtones..I tried with Mp3 at 320 bit rate and as well as WMA.
Can you please tell me what is the best format for the custome ringtone which can match with the pre installed one???? without this info the custome ringtones are waste of time..............

You could try using the "Normalize" feature of the audio product you use to create the ringtones.

Custom ringtones on N9

How do I set a custom mp3 file as a ringtone? When I select "my music" from the ringtone menu, it only shows the files that came with the phone, but none that I copied to the device.

It's a bit of a work arround, but I've managed to suss how to install and set all my custom ringtones and notifications on my N9 , I'm sure someone will find an easier way, but this works and isn't hard to do
Whilst in settings>Sounds and vibrations>you select the tone you want to change, then scroll to the top, and chose Select from My music and that's it !
However, you do of course, have to have the tones on the phone, I have all mine saved on my PC anyway, but many can be found on the web, I use the Tehkseven website to get mine ( http://www.tehkseven.net/ringtone/nokia-ringtones.html ) , but any mp3 you want to use should work, simply down load to PC and make sure they have a title you can remember or change there name to something you can remember.
Once you have all the tones you want, connect the N9 to the PC in Use as mass storage, so you can view files and folders and one of the folders will be Music (create one if it's not there, it's a good place to drag and drop all your music !!) open the folder and create a new one entitled 'Tones' and drag and drop the mp3's you want to use into it !
Now it appears the N9 offers you the tracks you listen to most often as ringtones so here is the awkward bit, Safely disconnect the phone from the PC , go to music in your application menu and select albums, there will be one called Unknown, select it ,chose the first tone, and let the full 'album' play at least 5 times, I tried once and non of the tones were available to me, so I had to make them show up in the list by playing them a few times, as a rintone should only be a few seconds, this doesn't take too long, but is a bit of a pain.
Now once you can go into your settings and use search to find the tones you want for Ringtone, Mail, Calendar etc set them all up and exit. I then rebooted the phone , but don't know if this is essential or not.
Now the bit that keeps your N9 and Music neat and tidy Connect the N9 to your PC again, go to your Music folder, open it,scroll to 'Tones' and right click, select Properties, and change to hidden and chose all files. Disconnect safely again, re-boot (Turn on and off) for a second time and let the phone start again, go to your music in the applications page, select Albums and the 'Unknown Album' has dissapeared, but all your tones are still working fine
I know it's a bit of effort, but I really like my own alert tones and also a neat and tidy music player and this DOES work, hope it helps, and if it does, someone please mark it as a solution so others can find it !!
Thanks

After iTunes/Yosemite updates, custom ringtones no longer available in Contacts on Mac but are on iPhone

After updating to Yosemite, my custom ringtones are no longer associated with particular contacts on my Mac. They seem to be in the right place in iTunes (ver. 12, updated at same time), and are still assigned to contacts on my iPhone (OS 8.1)--I haven't synched contacts, but I can't figure out how to get them re-assigned to specific contacts on the computer. when they're not there to be selected. These are a combination of purchased and GarageBand ringtones, and have been in use for years. Here's what I've tried:
In iTunes > Tones: Deselecting the ringtones, syncing (connected to mac). Then re-selcting and synching again. Ringtones are still visible on the iphone in Sounds, and in iTunes, but not available from within Contacts on the Mac.
Still in iTunes, used Get Info to identify where in Finder Tones are kept, which for me is: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Tones/. Copied all of them, moved the originals to the trash. (Did not empty.) Restarted. Didn't make a difference. I put everything back.
I have had this problem once before with an OS upgrade or new iPhone, I'm not sure which, but the de-selecting/selecting had worked. Not this time, however. My mistake may have been to update to Yosemite before updating my phone to OS8.1, but that's the way it was presented to me, and I didn't realize it would matter. My preference is to sync my contacts. But this became de-selected during the update. (Other prefs changed, also, for example--I prefer local backup, and it defaulted to iCloud.)

regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?

I have synced by I-phone to I-tunes to sync custom ringtones but they do not show up on I-Phone. They are in the syncing que in I-tunes but not on phone. Can someone help here.

I am having problems syncing the I-Phone ringtones from I-tunes to the I-Phone. These are custom ringtones and they do show up in the I-tunes ringtones and syncing seems to work but they are not on the I-Phone?

1. CC 2014 uses different folder for CEP extensions. If you installed both CC apps and CC 2014 apps, Extension Manager CC will install CEP extensoins to both "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions" and "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions". Please check if you can find your extensions in the latter folder.
2. Flash based extensions are no longer supported by PS CC 2014. So if some of your extensions are Flash based, even if they are installed to the folder above, PS CC 2014 will not load them. You have to install their HTML based counterparts. Refer to

Custom Ringtones Show Up in iTunes Folder, but Not on iPhone

I've recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4G. I have a few custom ringtones that I created from .MP3 files (converted to .m4r files). I had these same ringtones installed on my 3GS and want them on my 4G.
I transferred to my 4G by dragging them from the Windows folder to the iTunes device folder. The 5 ringtones show up in iTunes under the Ringtones folder. Only one of them shows up on the phone as being transferred.
I had done this a couple of days ago, and noticed then that only one ringtone was being shown under Custom Ringtones on my phone. Tonight, I uninstalled them all, rebooted my phone, and then re-dragged the files as per above. Again, all show up in the folder on the iPhone in iTunes, but one shows up on the phone. This is now a different one than a couple of days ago.
Soooo... what can be causing this? The files are apparently on my phone, but not appearing in the usable list. I need some help in resolving this. I've looked through these forums and seen similar issues. There doesn't seem to be a 'proper' way to do this. I manage my phone manually, and have not done a 'sync' with the ringtones as they show up in the folder... (I don't really see the need to sync if they're appearing in iTunes as on the phone).
Thanks!

How can I get a custom ringtone onto my phone?

Phone type: Samsung Reality
Note: No texting plan; 25 MB Data Package, as required
Hi everyone! I got the Samsung Reality, and -sadly- the Data Package that is requiired to go with it. I don't have any texting plan, but I want to use a custom ringtone (from my computer). I know we can send a text message to ourselves using free websites such as Ventones, but that would mean i have to pay for the picture Text message because I have no texting plan.
Is there another way I can get custom ringtones onto my phone without sending a text message or downloading them from the APP? There are some korean ringtones I found online that I would like to use on my phone.
I was dissapointed that the songs I put onto my phone could not be used as my ringtone. Could I email myself with an attachment of the song file (usually 30~35 seconds long), and set it as my ringtone? Or is that virtually impossible (if its impossible to do it without texting, how much would a text message with a song attached to it cost me)? Any help would be appreciated!

Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each. Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments.
Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe. Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

One Custom Ringtone at a Time - That's all we get?

Has anyone successfully loaded more than ONE custom ringtone onto their iPhone and had success using the additional tones?
I bought three from iTunes and created one of my own. I'm only able to have ONE of these tones on the phone at any one time. If I load all four (or any subset) the correct NUMBER of files will appear, but they will all be the same.

I too had the same tone showing up where all the others should be but (thanks to the guy at apple support) fixed it.
First of all, you need to re-set your library as this is most likely the problem.. Follow the instructions on this link:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93313
If you have more than one folder then do the same with that one. You may end up with duplicate tunes but just clicka and hold down ctrl then delete to get rid of them. Note: make sure both copies play first!
Afterward, COMPLETELY restore your phone (as easy as clicking restore in itunes but): http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/2007/tips/iphone-tip-resetiphone560x316.mov
DON'T set it up as a new phone after this, use backup option as this works fine.
Then buy/ make your ringtone (if you make them your self please be sure they are under 30 seconds long)then drag them into the ringtone library on itunes library ABOVE the phone NOT the phone one itself. Then, click on your phone device in itunes, go over to the ringtone tab (between info and music in the top middle of the screen) and then click selected ringtones and tick the ones you want and then press sync. You should have them all there now and you are done.
Good luck. It was a great guy in european apple support that helped me. Custom Ringtones are only supported in the USA right now and he had to leave me quickly but he solved my problem and didn't even know it. Hope this helps you all.

Only one custom ringtone at a time?

I've uploaded more than one custom ringtone at a time onto my phone, but it shows two of the same song and won't upload anymore. Anyone with a suggestion?

Wordartist65
When you connect the iphone up to itunes, click on the iphone on the left side.
To the left of the name of the iphone on the left hand side of itunes, there is a triangle.
Click on that triangle and it will expand a menu down or up.
Click on the ringtones under the iphone and see if the ringtones show up as duplicate or different.
If the ringtones are different, then there is corrupted on the iphone that is not allowing it to read the ringtones correctly.
To fix this you will need to restore the iphone.
After the iphone has been restored an option will come up to restore from back up.
Do not restore from back up, set up as a new iphone.
The reason for this is if there was anything corrupted on the iphone that was not allowing the iphone to read the ringtones correctly, you do not want to put it back on the iphone.
here is an article from the apple support website that might help in the restore process.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744
Hope this helps.

I can see only one ringtone in the custom ringtone box.plz help

i can see only one ringtone in the custom ringtone box.plz help

Cap,
This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
Regards.

Hello Chance1985,
Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.
