Hey guys im back sorry finals was crazy and so was xmas. I have a few songs on my webpage but if you PIN me and let me know what songs you would like me to upload i will do my best to up them as soon as i can. PIN2038EBB3

[morser]

my ringtones are in http://www.mstuff.net/ringtones if anyone wants to try to get them onto their 8700. I'll put out my ADP files for the 7100 in there as well soon.

When people were trying to download programs or sounds to their berrys, they had to set some kind of MIME setting on the server they were downloading. do you think this could be part of the problem here? Also, it seems like no one has the exact answer on how to create a working method for ringtones. I use the free WavePad, and edit an mp3 down to size and make it mono. this should work. it makes me suspect that a berry O/S upgrade for the 8700 will cure this ringtone issue. it's like they are still working out the kinks? Comments?

thank you! I love that ring!

Ashachar...Thanx for starting the group. It's the only way I've had success installing the CTU24.mp3 ringtone.

For the rest of you 8700 users who've been struggling with this, the ringtone is now posted for your use.

Love the Coldplay ringtone! The download worked like a charm using the "Internet Browser".

Thank you!!

Here is a link to my ringtone area, I hesitate to give this out as I don't want to get a lot of traffic. But in case my web server is why it works here is my ringtone area:

ColdPlayL.mp3 is the 504kb file.

Go for the iTunes way mentioned on the first page in this post. Worked great for me, and the mp3 was 160k. Used 'The Postal Service - Such Great Heights' . Came out really well.

i was able to get the 500k+ size file to work. i SMS'd the link, copied it, and then pasted it into the blackberry browser (not the cingular browser). i was able to save it and set it as my ringtone.

Good Luck!

I have a ton I created with Audacity/LAME and I tried to upload them. Says the group is out of disk space

I am not sure how well my home line will handle requests, but here it is at the moment for anyone who wants some more. I only put a few of them in here for now to see how well it works.

The Key To 8700c Ringtones with Cingular:

OK, after dealing with this for hours and scouring these threads to find a solution, I believe I have found a way to finally get them to work (at least, for me).

I am using Audacity with the following settings:

Pref>Quality>Def. Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Pref>Quality>Default Sample Format: 32-bit Float
Pref>File Format>Mp3 Export Setup>Bit Rate: 64

Now, once you have Audacity set up like this, you will do the following (as stated by Blackbreaker in the 7130 thread):
* select the section you want the ringer to be
* copy it and open a new project in audacity
* paste your selection
* go to Effect at the top and choose "High Pass Filter". Leave it at the default setting and hit OK. If this option is greyed out, try hitting Ctrl+A to select your ringtone clip.
* split the stereo track
* make both tracks mono
* export to mp3

Voila, it *should* work. These were the only settings that worked for me, and it was a pain to finally figure out how to get it right.

If you would like, you can send me an MP3 via e-mail and I will try to make it into a ringtone for you (I dont know how many of these requests I would be able to make) if you cant get it to work. I've noticed I can get up to 20 seconds of ringtone under the 120kb limit in place with the Cingular Browser.

Hope this helps!

My e-mail is if you have any requests.

Here are the couple that I have made:

The only browser I seem to have is the Cingular Browser. So am I just out of luck when it comes to downloading larger mp3 files? All of the mp3's that have been smaller I have been able to download and they work perfectly but no dice on the larger ones.

Yeah, the Cingular Browser is crap and wont download anything over 120kb. It's been mentioned on the boards that if you call Cingular Data Support and request for the BB Browser to be enabled, they can enable it for you but I spoke with them today and was told it was only for persons with BES access.

You need to ask for the Internet Browser not the BB browser.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Fumetsu and rcb. Unfortunately I am just a non-business, personal BlackBerry user with no BES. Maybe I will call Cingular and check with them but it sounds like I am just stuck with the Cingular browser. Oh well!

Thanks for the help though.

[rcbjr]

I am not on BES either, call Cingular and ask for the Internet Browser service book to be pushed. Call 611 from your BB and when it recognizes your BB it will ask if you want BB tech support. Respund with that number and they should be able to help. You might try to go to Options host routing table and do a Register Now

Hope this helps.

[kubwambe]

rcbjr,

That was absolutely perfect advice. The Cingular folks had the Internet Browser pushed in minutes and I was downloading bigger files in no time.

Thanks for the great advice.

[rcbjr]

You're welcome.

Glad to help

Couldn't find it in a search - I have a short list of short potential ringones and alert/notification tones. Mix of Mp3 and wav. Where should I send (email/ftp) them so someone can convert them (if required) and list them on a web site for all to share..?

32,947 Dead Nokia.mp3
53,232 You've got spam.wav
27,632 Our man Flint.wav
100,154 Psycho.wav
66,400 Bus bell.wav
73,350 Crash tinkle.wav
21,588 Honk.wav
26,174 Roadrunner.wav

I'm doing custom ringtones for some 8700C users. I wont be around for a week or so, might get some done if its raining at the beach, but I could knock a few out tonight. I was planning on doing some old TV show ones tonight, but I could do requests instead.

DONT SEND FILES JUST YET but PM me or send an email to

(its about to get forwarded to my BB)
My music collection is not that big so I may require Mp3 for your custom ringtone.
