Ringtones from computer

there are programs on ebay...i think you need a usb cable too. my phone came with a program for it tho //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
What kind of programs? What do I search for? My friend knows how to do it for free and his didn't come with a program....but it is prob more difficult

 
if it's verizon, there's a good chance you need to crack your phone before you'll be able to do anything from your comp.

there's programs and cables online for cheap, tho

and the cracking programs are free, but they don't do anything automatically, and if you F up, your phone is done.

 
mobile phone tools can be found pretty easily :cough:bit torrent:cough

then all you need is a usb cable and the usb driver for the razr. many digital cameras use a cable that will connect right up to your phone

 
Bluetooth... VERY EASY if it isnt protected content... Razr synch's up with another phone quite easily

The Cable option...sure, but you have to buy the software from Motorola...

You dont need to 'crack' anything.... unless your talking about one of the (to be mentioned below) Verizon Phones.

you dont need to pay anyone....the process can ALL be done with freeware!!!!!

The boys are tellin ya lies, lies... there all lies I tell ya.... I actually have the answer to this one... ( I worked for a Cellular company--to remain namelss here for 2 years...boy, did I learn a LOT!)

Keep in mind, Verizon service requires you to have a VCast capable phone to do the following: It will be sent as an MMS (Multi Media Message) And most of the older Nokia's??? forget about it. You shouldnt have probs with the RAZR tho...

Your clip CANNOT be longer than 30 seconds (check with your provider 4 the ring time on your service)

It must be recorded at the lowest bit-rate possible.--I convert mine at 56Kbps.. I use AUDACITY with the LAME software package. (yes..thats its name) The older version of Audacity actually works better...go to the preferences menu and change the bitrate.

cut up the part of the song you want and export/save as a MP3 to a folder on your p/c.

Once you have done that go to http://www.funformobile.com/pages/ringtone/uploadRingtone.php

choose your carrier, enter your phn number, select the file and give it a name.

I have had the most difficulty doing this with MOST VERIZON phones...they have figured this out and are creating software to keep you from sending tones to your phone. My father has one of their POS Motorola phones (not the Razr) and all I can send him are midi's. If he wants MP3 it has to be downloaded.... good luck.

I will post pics later in your thread (if thats kewl) with step by step instructions and screen shots.

 
That would be cool man....you kinda lost me. haha... But are you saying to do all that from bluetooth from the computer?

 
I am putting together some screenshots for you that will walk you through the process... A few posts coming your way in a bit. I promise, it will make sense... LOL!

 
1) First off, Go to and download the Audacity program and the LAME software add on. (you may want to go over the 'read.me' file if you don't know or have not used an audio editing program before.)

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

2) D/L the Audacity Program and the additional LAME software.

3) DRAG AND DROP any MP3 or WAV file to the Audacity users window.

-----Using the four tools (clockwise from top right:)

*Edit and cutting tool - You must cut your audio selection to LESS than 30 seconds

*Volume Curve tool--must use two points to fade in/out just a small segment at the beginnning or ending of the selected audio. The fading will make your ringtone sound better.

*Magnifier- useful when you are trying to get a specific cut.

*Object- just moves the object/audio in the window to the left and right.

4) An example of my 21 second edit of lil John's - Throw It Up.

* notice the volume curves at the begining and end of the track. This just makes the ringtone sound more proffesional.

5) Click on FILE and go to PREFERENCES

Step5.jpg


 
6) Click on the Spectrogram Tab and make sure 64 Kbps is checked--click ok.

Step6.jpg


7) Go to FILE once more and this time click on EXPORT AS MP3. Save it wherever you like on your computer. I would recomend making a temporary file on your desktop... the web site you are going to use next does not like long file names.

Step7.jpg


8) Now go to http://www.funformobile.com and click on the UPLOAD tab

Step8.jpg


9) Enter your Cell Providers name, your phone number, browse and link your file, name it, and upload it.

Step9.jpg


Once you do this a few times it is really easy. I DONT buy ANY ringtones anymore. You can, with audacity, snag any audio clip that will play on your p/c speakers. Thats another lesson. Maybe I will be nice and post a thread about that topic.

Have fun... and remember...if you cant figure it out... you can always PAY me to do it for You!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

hackers unite!!!! LOL!

 
your welcome??????

Bump? --- dammit... I stayed up late doing this for you! LOL!

Seriously, pm me or I will check back into this forum if you have any questions or would like a walk through.

 
how's that a hack?

you can do it yourself with no website with a usb cable, and an unlocked firmware.

it doesn't need to be 30 seconds> either.

you can also do screensavers, wallpapers, and videos to and FROM the phone.

games aren't possible with verizon, tho, because their games are actually locked to the serial number of the phone, where every other carrier simply uses java-based games that aren't locked.
