Hi! I'm renewing my ringtones and, unfortunately, I encounter (onother:frown: ) sendo bug...

I've found this related topic:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum//forum/thread/38712/&highlight=ringtones
http://www.sendosmartphones.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,79/topic,55.0

The problem seems to be the dimension of the file. Also for my experience seem that when a contact of a specific group (whit a specific ringtone) call, also the default ringtone is loaded and in the end almost every time Sendo Ring is played...

I'm trying to understand the problem and find the limit size (and type) for ringtones files, so i'm asking you about your experience
- which firmware version you use?
- have you notice this problem?
- how big is your ringtone file?
- do you use varios format (midi, amr, wav)?
- do you use personalized ringtones?

I use 1.198.8.2 (release 78), and I have a default ringtones in midi (43k) and there no big problem for normal call (only sometimes it start slowly). When a contact whit different ringtone call: if is a midi seem to works whit no problem if it is an amr (any size) it play for a split then...Sendo Ring.

Please post your experience, hope can help other too!

Where are you storing the file???

I have no probelm playing ringtones that are 10MB long. I know that in

c:nokia\sounds\

there is 2 folders, one is simple one is digital. Problem is i forget which one you need the file in. One works perfectly fine, one normally defaults back to the sendo ringtone.

Whichever folder you've stored yours in ..... swap it.

Incidentally, its not a bug. The phone correctly identifies which folder to place the file into if you send it by bluetooth and save using soudn recorder. If you happen to just place files in the folders however its possibel to get it wrong.

Hope that helps.

Ok, so after reading your comments again i realised i didn;t answer your question.

All my ringtones are in WAV format, 44Khz, 8bit, Mono. I've never tried AMR and i can;t guarantee it works. Sorry. AMR has a lot of different codec rates as well, so AMR 12.2Kb may work, whereas AMR 7.4 ( for exmaple ) may not.

If i were you i'd stick to WAV. the sound is far superior, although i guess memory is a trade off.

Hope that helps you further!
