Hi all,
I've been checking this forum for a week or so now and the only thing I cant seem to find info on is...
What benefits do you get if you upgrade your Magician to the latest rom?
Does it get rid of the camera speckles and snow? Or do I still need to download that camera fix?
Does it enable me to use MP3s as ringtones? Or do I again need to download another file?
What other features do I get from upgrading? If any?
Thanks for your time.
Mr. E you can use MP3 as ringtones on all ROMS even if you have the very oldest, 1.01. Just copy the Mp3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder.
I did that but it didnt do anything. Is there some sort of special way of selecting the file for a ringtone?

By the way, if you have no issues with your existing rom and you're happy with all aspects of your phone and it's running stable, then don't bother upgrading.
Sweet that looks like what I need.
As for the camera... I guess just download the camera fix.
From what your saying Jimmy-bish the rom updates dont give you anything worthwhile then?
If you have 1.11 or earlier rom, U may encounter the famous "bluetooth not found" problem. Is it worthwhile enough? :twisted:
Yeah, sometimes it comes down to the individual phone. Heaps of people complained about that bluetooth and GPRS issue with 1.11 rom. I had it once, so I kept the same rom as I had no problems with that and just upgraded the radio to 1.13. Problem solved.
If you notice bugs or errors on your phone, search the forums and if everyone says it's the rom version that's causing the problem then upgrade. If you aren't experiencing any problems and can't be bothered upgrading all the time, you aren't missing too much. Most of the time it's just bug fixes and slight improvements, which can often be found through the forum without having to upgrade (camera patches and improvements, extended rom applications etc).

Install the snowfix file and this will change all the relevant setting to do away with the speckles etc. Can't remember where I found this so can't give authors name.

I did download the new camera from here... not the snowfix. The camera didnt seem to change anything tho, so im guess I need this snowfix too?
Problem with me is that I always want to have the latest update... so more than likely I will install the new update onto my Magician anyways...
I put that MP3 ringtone fix on, thanks heaps for that. Is there anyway of using a MP3 when you get a SMS?
Snowfix is just a case of turning down sharpness and saturation etc, i think.

Question, anyone know how to make the MP3 ringtones louder? With my phone volume right up its still kinda quiet, if I play it through the Media Player it sounds at the same volume until I turn the media player volume up to 100%... thats about how loud I would like it.
Is it possible without having to up the volume on a PC based app?

That is exactly what it is, but its still better then the standard camera settings.
Does that phone alarm allow you to use MP3s as your SMS tone?
Mr E, yes it does!
Now I have seen somewhere, that someone had the same problem as I am having and that was the SD card is coming up as 128mg but its actually 256mg... someone had some sort of format program for the SD card... anyone have that? As my PC wants to format it as 128 when it clearly says on the card that its 256...
btw: you can use mp3 as rings without any other prog. just associate mp3-files with mediaplayer, copy desired file to windows/rings and choose it in the normal ringtone dialog. the built in volume slider (telephone one, not loudspeaker one) works for me, too.
So i was wonderin what you guys use to make your own ringtones. I used to use motorola phone tools for my old phone but now im beyond that.
so what do you guys use?
thanx! much love

I used Audacity(at first) because I can trim any song in my existing library and still change the pitch and bitrate to make it louder. I hardly use custom ringtones now, but I tried the MP3 Trimmer .cab and that worked great.
ok i actually found a decent program to use but now my problem is that the volume that comes out of the phone is so low you can barely even hear it. any suggestions as to how to fix that?
Though I didn't make them from scratch, I "embraced and extended" some existing tones. Check the notifications section on my site which is in my sig.
Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas how to get my assigned ringtones to work again ?
The only ringtones working or the ones that shipped with windows mobile 6.1
Thanks in advance

Same is happening to me, I recently flashed back from my custom rom to a stock rom and now I can't get my ringtone to stay. It keeps defaulting back to the original ringtone. Haven't had time to figure it out ,but when I do I will let you know.
Look forward to that.
Thanks
first off, i did search, couldn't find anything. 2nd, i know CM has a new version but i'm waiting to update until i can get some answers about this.
All the notification sounds and alarms work fine, But any individual ringtone i give to anyone in the contacts dosn't work. It always plays the default ringtone.
So anyone else have this happen, and how'ed you fix it. pretty big deal for me because i use custom ringtones for a lot of people for many reasons.
thanks in advance
just want to bump this since it disappeared, would really like some help with this.
Guys, I have a buddy of mine with an HTC HD7 and some version of windows on it. He asked me if I can find out WHERE to get FREE ringtones that he can download through the phone?
I have no idea and wasn't sure if I posted it in the right section.
THanks
George
atleast you can convert your mp3 to wma 48kb by using converter.thats what i do
??????????????
You cannot set custom ringtones if it's a Windows Phone 7. As for yet, that is. Recent Mango update promises to add this feature.
We are going back in time
Eventually, WP7 will be able to do most the things that WM6.x did.
Friggin' incredible. He says he can download them but has to subscribe to something. Doesn't that mean you CAN or you were talking about not doing it for free?
THanks
George
You need to Dev Unlock your device & you can use Chevron WP7 Custom Ringtone Manager to make custom ringtones.
Thanks. So bottom line is, right now, you CAN NOT get any ringtones other than what come with the phone?
If I get that manager, are there any places where he can download ringtones for FREE or do you have to actually MAKE your own?
Thanks again
George
