Kyocera Lingo - Make Your Own RingtonesUpdate: Heather points out below that you can actually email the ringtone right to your phone instead of this whole crazy sequence. If it works, sweet-- I'll have to try it. Just mail the mp3 as an attachment to your phone, like an MMS message. In my case it would be xxxyyyzzzz@mms.mycricket.com, different providers I am sure will be different. In any case, thank you to Heather!Just a quick tutorial today, there is no Mobile Phone Tools (yet) for the Lingo M1000, and sort of by accident I found a way to put my own ringtones on my Lingo. First off, it may only work on Cricket, but it should work on any Lingo with a web browser. Creating the ringtone: I'm sure there are better tutorials out there for this, but I used the free Audacity. Simply take in your mp3 of choice, trim it down to your favorite 30 seconds, use the high-pass filter to drop everything below 100Hz (the ringer can't really pump out the bass), and then use the default dynamic-range compression. Mix it down to a single mono track, and save as a 22KHz, 64kbps mp3. The total file size needs to be under about 500K. Getting the Ringtone into the Lingo You'll need a website of some sort to upload the mp3 too, any free service will do, but the key is, there needs to be a direct URL to your mp3. If you can't think of something easier, HotLinkFiles will work. Note the complete URL for the mp3. Enter the URL (using the handy QWERTY keyboard) into the web browser, and wait a minute for it to download. It will ask if you want to save the mp3 in your 'Sounds' directory-- you do. Activating the Ringtone Just navigate into your 'Media Gallery', then 'Sounds' and then 'Saved Sounds'. Your new mp3 should be at the top of the list, but find it and press 'Options' and then 'Assign'. From there you can make it the default ringer or whatever you like. So it's not the smoothest way to get a ringtone, but it works, and I miss my old Nokia 6265i or whatever it was a little less every day. Labels: hack, kyocera, lingo, ringtone

Nice Blog You Should Try Feedburner. Get A Email Subscription List So I Can See The New Gadgets. Come By My Spot At www.adroed.blogspot.com And We Can Exchange Email Subscriptions. This might be a simpler method. you can e-mail your phone attachments (at least with Cricket). The format for my e-mail is xxxyyyzzzz@mms.mycricket.com (xxxyyyzzzz is your phone number i.e. 208-123-4567)

For my Cricket Lingo, I can't "assign" ringtones that are emailed to me. I can only download them. Also, 300kb is too big to download, but 150k worked fine. Also, fileden.com works since the other site mentioned gives a too many connections error to me. hello...i emailed my mp3 to my phone and it downloaded to saved sounds but it wont let me assign it to my ringers can you help me or lead on a path that can....thanks micd ...micdeezy@aol.com myspace.com/doublesclick hi i have the same phone but what i want to know is how do i get my saved sounds into a ringtone? i already have the sounds i want but it wont let me make it in to a ringtone. plz help me :( Same here! I figured out how to send a ringtone as an attachment and then save to my media gallery, but it won't let me assign it as a ringtone. Is there some way to get around this?

No Jakki, there is no way to save the ringtone that you send to your phone as a ringtone, the only way to save a ringtone is that it has to be transfered to your phone by bluetooth to bluetooth, either bluetooth it from one phone to another or from a computer that has an external bluetooth adaptor, also the ringtone must be an mp3 tone. | ||
