Nokia Lumia :: 800 - Creating Custom Ringtone / Quality And Sound Like Default
Jul 25, 2012
We have the set of default ringtones from both Windows Phone and Nokia pre installed and those from Insider app. I made many custom ringtones, but none of them has the quality and sound that of preinstalled or Insider ringtones. I tried with Mp3 at 320 bit rate and as well as WMA. What is the best format for the custom ringtone which can match with the pre installed one???? without this info the custom ringtones are waste of time..............
Converted ringtone file from mp3 to wma format, downloaded wma file to the ringtones folder using Windows Phone application, the file plays using Windows Media Player on workstation from ringtones folder on phone, file appears under custom in the list, but does not play on the phone when selected.
I have noticed that my ringtones and alarms play at a lower quality than they did before.My first thought was that my speakers were damaged and affecting the sound quality, but when I play music and even my ringtones in the media player the quality is as fine as ever. However the same ringtones, when played automatically either as an alarm or ringtone have a noticeably lower quality
Since lollipop my custom ringtone has been replaced by a system sound. I checked settings and my custom ringtone is still selected. But it doesn't work.
So I've done my best to find a solution to my custom sound profile problems,but I can't seem to find any similar posts. On my 9700 the default sound profile overrides the custom profile. From everything I've read so far it's supposed to be the opposite correct? What am I missing or not understanding?
this is my first Nokia having converted from Motorola and I was wandering if it's possible to edit my imported tunes to create a ringtone from just parts of a track such as the intro etc; I cannot find anything in the instructions what so ever on how to do this, as it's possible with Motorola i'm sure it must be with Nokia ?
I highly value the sound output of a phone and how it can drive pro headphones. So I went to ATT store and took my Sony headphones with me.
I was pleasantly surprised by the dynamic range and quality of the sound. It is rich and satisfying. it can drive big headphone nicely. Bass was not only present but it was clean and un-clipped, punchy and full. I did not go over 27 on volume since it was very loud already.
I did not keep my 920 for this reason; 1520 is miles ahead of 920 in music sound output.
How I do I change what the "Default" notification sound is? I'm not trying to one-off change the apps, I just want to globally switch the sound all apps set to "Default" use.
I have an N79 handset and I'm thinking of upgrading it to N86.The problem is that some people say that the nokia n86 sound is way low (I'm not sure about that) but I didn't reach a comparison between the N79 sound loudness and the N86 sound loudness.Can someone tell me which handset has a better sound quality and loudness? I need a really quick reply.
As a happy N95 8GB (heavy) user I had high hopes for my N86 upgrade (after extensive research and satisfied it would fulfill my all-one-needs, I was rubbing my hands in gleefull expectation). Save for the numerous allusions to poor sound quality, I had high hopes.
Sadly, how wrong I could be.O2 delivered my N86 last week, and I was instantly disappointed - in fact, quite taken aback - by the genuinely AWFUL, tinny, quality of the calls and even worse, the loudspeakers (plus the underpowered processor). I promptly sent the phone back, assuming I'd been sent of a 'dodgy' handset, and today, took delivery of a brand new handset: to my surprise, it has exactly the same problem.
I've only ever used Nokia phones, I very rarely post to forums, but feel compelled to do so as I find it surprising that, with such great technology to hand, Nokia could release a handset with speakers and a sound chip of such poor, tinny, quality. Clearly pocketability and reducing the phone's size-profile has been prioritised over speaker size and overall sound quality.
A further scour around these discussion groups and forums elsewhere confirms I'm not alone: other n86 users are becoming progressively clued up to the fact that whilst it's a good, if not spectacular, phone - pleasing wide-angle camera, feels good in the hand (if a little top heavy, and not as easy to text as the N95), robust, generally quite satisfactory - and, of course, for those few of us left that like traditional buttons - it generally ticks all the boxes.
But I couldn't bear to use this phone day in, day out, which such risible sound quality.Surely such issues would be addressed in iminent firmware upgrades? Speaking to someone who works at Nokia directly, and looking at the bugs the latest firmware DOES fix, it doesn't appear sound is on the menu (although I could be wrong). Of course, I'm sure will be addressed in time - Nokia must be aware of the general feedback related to the sound issue (!?) - but I would rather not wait.
Additionally, the phone is underpowered. I could probably live with a little slugishness, as I expect that will definately be fixed in time. But I can't live with talking to someone like they're under a duvet (admittedly, not that I have much experience of talking to someone under a duvet) or straining to hear a word said when I'm using the phone outside, with the loudspeaker is turned up to max.
Maybe I've been spoilt with great quality sound on the N95 (which fits into my pocket just perfectly, Nokia!), but I would - personally, in my view, in my humble opinion and all that - struggle to believe the N86 was thoroughly roadtested with call quality as a priority?Maybe other's will disagree - the above is just my experience. Back to my N95.
I have C3-00 with firmware v8.71. I noticed that when making or receiving a call, even with the volume set to 10 bars, when someone is standing next to me, he cannot hear the voice of the one am talking to. My friend has C3-00 with firmware V8-63, when he receives or makes a call, when you are standing next to him, you can hear the voice of the person he is talking to and you can reduce the volume in order for somone next to you not to ehar what you are discussion. Is it about the firmware or is it just my phone?I want to know so if I have to reverse back to V8.63 by flashing the phone or maintaining V8.71.
When I bought my E63 I noticed that while on my previous phone the sound got all distorted when I tried to record a loud live performance, it sounded pretty good on the E63, even if the concert got loud. Since that discovery I usually record one of two songs of a show I visit as a souvenir. It's become quite a big thing for me.Now the E63 has a pretty mediocre camera, so I'm thinking about upgrading to a model with a better one. Of course it is essential that this new phone can record loud sound (110 dB and over) as good or even better than my current E63. I know that this is not a given from people with iPhones or phones from HTC: all they get is when they try to record loud sound is distortion.are newer Nokia models still as good at recording loud (rock and metal show) sound and is there some technical spec that I can check to make sure this is the case?
Have a BH-905i connected to Windows 7 laptop (x86) with the broadcomm bluetooth suite. I have the Audio Sink, Headset, Remote Control and Remotly Controllable Device Bluetooth services available in Windows 7 for this device and ticked. When I use Windows Media player the audio quality is great, but whenever I use a VOIP application (e.g. Lync), the playback and microphone quality are terrible and I reportedly sound like I am in a tunnel.
Got the new lumia 950xl yesterday in the UK, loving it so far but when I switch off my phone and back on again it seems to change the notification sound for Facebook and messenger, not really sure why so? Really annoying considering the messenger default is set to none so if I forget I won't know I have a message until I check my phone....
I set an mp3 song as my ringtone for all profiles. Actually its a good quality song. But it s gone very less quality when phone rings.but the Nokia tune does well. Any software or settings? And finally when will my phone taste that belle os?
I was fairly happy with the phone until I tried to listen to music on it. Sound quality (no matter which headphones I use, up to Westone 3) is awful. There's no bass whatsoever, the sound is dirty, no stereo separation etc. etc. Really, I haven't heard anything as awful in years.This is such an outlier among modern phones I really can't get how this passed the quality control.
i purchased lumia 920 today and am very disappointed in video output from sites such a Internet.
i played a same high quality on an iphone and android and it clearly shows as if the video streaming on the nokia is displaying as if the phone thinks there is no wifi.
I just got my nice new iphone and have found trouble putting custom ringtones on. i can succesfully sync 1 ringtone (yes its 29secs long acc format with .m4r ending). In my itunes ringtone folder i can see the 3 ringtones i have put on there so far yet when i go to settings on my iphone only one shows up, not the multiple copies others have experienced. im using itunes 9.0.3 and have iphone 3gs 16gb version 3.1.2
My iPhone is no longer syncing one of my custom made ringtones--it has synced every other ringstone I have of a similar format. This one is 40 seconds long, the only one that long. Has there been some change to the allowed length of time?
i want to disable that when i recive a SMS from a contact that i apply a specific ringtone, i hear that ringtone and no the default SMS notification. I know its possible without installing anything else but i can find the option.how to disable custom ringtone from a contact for SMS notification.
I am trying to get the custom ringtones onto my 920 but zune does support the 920, how to transfer the mp3 tones so that the custom folder appears in the ringtone section. The phone is using windows 8.
I set my wife's contact with a custom ringtone. Sometimes when she calls, the phone plays the custom ringtone. Sometimes she calls, and it plays the default ringtone.
I check the settings, and the custom tone is still set correctly. And the ringtone is on the phone, not on the memory card.
Today I noticed that when this happened, the phone started ringing the default tone while her cell number appeared on the screen, before the phone detected it was the contact with her name. Could it be that the phone delayed recognizing her number as being on the contact list, and therefore played the default tone?
I've got the atrix on t-mobile contract but cannot figure out how to set a custom ringtone for the SMS? I've got the custom one for the phone call. But the text message one has me baffled? I select text message >menu setting > messaging settings > select ringtone. But it doesn't offer the option to select a custom one.I've tried putting an mp3/m4a track in the notification folder by connecting the phone to a usb cable and pc, but the tracks dont show up in the select ringtone setting?
Is there a working way to upload the high quality pictures (41 MP or 34 MP) taken with our Nokia Pro Cam to SkyDrive? Or another way to share them without using a computer?
So i recently found out how to change the video quality on youtube... but is there anyway to make a default setting for it? Rather than having to change the setting on every video...
I couldn't find a thread with this specific problem. I have certain contacts that I have specific ringtones for when they call. But I don't want to have a custom text ringer for those people. Whenever I set a custom ringer for those contacts, it automatically changes the text ringer as well. Is there any way to only give them a custom call-tone and leave all text messages as the same tone?
