Upgraded to 3.62 but still have WAV rings problem!

Hi User posted image
OK, i used to have this problem with my, clean, fresh, out of the oven, 3.18 communicator. And now i've upgraded to 3.62 and still have the same problem which i have never heard from anyone one else. Please help!

The problem I assign personal WAV ringing tones to some of my contacts, when they call i hear this
- The WAV playing (which is nice)
- AND, the "beeeeeeb" the caller hears while it's ringing and i don't answer!!!
Both at the same time!! Now, sometimes the two sounds mix (if they have different periods) when their timings meet. It's like i have two speakers on my 9210, one playing the WAV file and the other wired to the callers phone; which is not possible, but that is what happens!

Some time ago, in one post, i asked for an explaination, but now, i don't care why it happens, i just want a solution. Anyone?

I think tou are the only one with this problem.
Because I haven't heard of this problem before and I don't have this problem myself.

I've attempted to emulate that problem on my phone, but I've got firmware 3.57 and all I get are lovely wav playbacks.

I guess good luck in the sense of depending on Nokia Service.

I have no problems with the wav files. But just that i find that when i assign too many contacts to a wav file, there is some silly message that says

"Message Watcher" invalid, application closed etc.

then the next message right after that is
Note Not Found.

Other things that seem to have been fixed with the new software upgrade is the forwarding of faxes. THey no longer "shrink" the faxes down.

Other bugs still outstanding include
1. the Excel Sheet problem of emailing out an excel file. It remains in the epoc format even though you have saved it in 95 or 2000 Excel version
2. Backing up your communicator still has the logdbu problem
3. "Sending of emails upon connection" still does not work and your mails still end up sitting in your outbox....

Nope not stupid, but i can't do it...we have only one around here.

More info I suspected my WAVs so i tried other ones, then tried some i created, mono, sterio, u name it, i tried it, then tried NOT converting them with Nokia's MMConverter, then converting them with it...ALL to no avail User posted image

Is there any sound settings in 9210? I couldn't find any...i'm running out of things to try. Anyone?

Well I made mine by dropping an MP3 into Cool Edit 2000, cut the sample down and then converted it to mono-8bit-22kHz (for size) and saved it as a Windows(PCM) .wav file. I then copied this directly to my phone (not converting it). All works fine for me this way. User posted image

Seems very odd that you only have this problem with .wav files as ringtones especially with a common firmware. s

Could record what you are hearing and post it somewhere. 'beeeeeep' isn't all that descriptive and it can be anything. Hope to hear from you

I'll do that, how?
"beeeeeeeeb" (and in some countries "toot toot" User posted image) is the sound the caller hears while it rings on the other side. Did that help?

Did you try it in other countries? I really want to be very sure it is that tone you hear. What I found myself is that enabling the speaker (that is what happens when playing a .WAV) makes the normal GSM tones hearable.
It's the same (I have) when answering the phone the first second or so I hear bad audio quality since there is a lot of GSM noise interfering. Then the speaker seems to switch off and the problem is gone.
Again there is no 'beeeep' or 'hoot hoot' tone at your side when somebody calls you. In fact there isn't any sound at all, since it is only a signal send to your GSM telling it that it has a call 'waiting'.

Nope, didn't try in other countries.
And, sorry, I'm sure that what i hear is what u say i shouldn't User posted image. I agree that i shouldn't, it is just not logical, i know, but this is the sad fact.
For now, i made my personal ringing tones as .RNGs, and things are fine. But that doesn't mean i'm happy. I talked to ppl in my country, with the same firmware, same mobile provider, who don't have the problem i have. Is it my device? Maybe!

It's just possible that when someone creates a connection to your phone, the phone itself thinks it is making the call, so what you hear is your phone making a dialling tone, not realising that the call is actually incoming. It could even be due to your provider not supporting the software that tells the phone cell that it is being contacted. This may be of no help at all but if your module can't recognise in and out signals it could play the wav.file while playing the calling out tone.
