The pantech duo and putting ringtones on it?

i posted a question before about how to get ringtones on my pantech duo and i got this...By default the ringtone has to be under 280kb. Use a program called Audacity to shrink the MP3 Files. These MP3 files can be in two locations:


My Ringtones (On the Phone's Memory)


My Ringtones (On the SD Card, make a folder called My Ringtones)





An easy "hack" is to change the size limit in the registry.


1. Download Mobile Registry Editor


(From sources below)


2. Sync your phone, run the exe file, make your way to Current_User, Control Panel, click on Sounds .. change filesizelimit to 999999999 (nine 9's)


hit ok, close program, now the mp3 files can be put either on phones my ringtones folder or on sd card's my ringtone folder.





This was found from the Cingular Forum below. The forum says you have to add the name of the Mp3 file also - but it worked without that extra step.





this info was great but i hav a prob,

The pantech duo and putting ringtones on it?
sounds like some complicated instructions.





Ventones is the site that I use to make and transform mp3 files into ringtones.





It works every time for me. i have a pantech , but not the duo, i have the C150.





They send me the ringtone in a text message.

Again, it's only two or three easy steps:\


This is all done on your computer - not the phone...\





1. Connect your phone to your computer (make sure you have ActiveSync installed and that you sync your phone to your computer.





2. Download and extract Mobile Registry Editor. Simply google "Mobile Registry Editor" and the 2nd or 3rd link from breaksoft will allow you to download it. Then extract it to a folder, you will have 3 Files. Run the file called MobileRegistryEditor.exe - it will open to a screen. Double click on Current_User ... Control Panel ... Sounds ... change filesizelimit to 999999999 (nine 9's) - hit ok.


That's IT. Close program, now the mp3 files can be put either on phones "My Ringtones" folder or on a micro-sd card's "My Ringtones" folder. Do not put any on the phone's memory since the phone only has a few megabytes of free space. Each MP3 file is 3-4mb. Purchase a Micro-SD Card (2GB or less) for $10.00 or so and on the card make a folder called "My Ringtones" and simply copy all of your MP3's to that folder.
