Sony Ericsson :: W518a - Setting Own Music As Ringtone?
Sep 1, 2010
Trying to set my own music to ringtones and its not working. Tried converting to wav file and shortened to 30 seconds that didn't work, converting shorter version to mp3 didn't work. How do I make it happen? I have a W518a.
While in playback from playlist, tracks, authors etc phone will display failed and not go onto next song. Using 8gb M2 memory card. Have full formated memory card. Have placed music in root directory or card and in music directory. If you try to play filed song again redisplays failed. However you can forward to next song and it will play. I have tried many combinations and it still fails after each song.
Please post the web link to the Ericsson W518a To Turn Off Shake Feature. The music plays at random times. I would like the link to help me understand why I cannot find the INFO in a Google search.
I just got a W518a, and I liked everything about it except for the volume. Even though I already turn the volume up to the max, I still cannot hear other people clearly no matter using the receiver on the headset or a headset. I tried to update the phone, but it doesn't help. Can I expect a coming update to solve this?
The flash on my w518a works when I am taking a video however it does not seem to work when I take a still picture. Is there a setting on the phone that I have not setup correctly?
I've successfully transferred some old ringtones I got from various places but they can not be used on this phone. I was wondering if it is because they are not MEPG4 or maybe some other reason they may not work.
At the bottom of the screen, there's three shortcuts: Camera, Media Net, and Menu. I can't seem to find a way in the Settings to remove these and I haven't seen it discussed in the user guide. Is it also possible to remove the date and time from that same main screen as well?
The demo for this phone on the support page indicates I can manually choose which network I am using, however, my actual phone does not have that menu item. The problem I have is when the phone locks me into GPRS, it becomes a virtual paper weight. It works great if I can get it to lock onto Edge by walking around enough. I want to be able to manually choose Edge. Why can't I do this?
So i recently purchased the W518a from At&t, and was wondering if it was possible to replace the startup video with a custom one. Is there a filesystem editor that I can use to do this as well?
I have a Sony Ericsson Elm. I use it for both business and personal calls. I see I can set categories of contacts and set different ringtones. What I would like to do is, say, when on holiday/weekends set the phone so that I do not hear a ringtone for work related numbers. I would still like to receive the call (go to voicemail) but not be notified when the call is actually incoming.
My purpose is to go for voip call through wifi but in J20i,I only found sip settings under the connectivity menu without any voip client?,can anyone help me in this regard.
Is it possible to use my mp3s on the micro sd as a ringtone/alarm signal? I have followed the guide on this site (menu>settings>sound&alerts>ringtones) and this brings me to a music folder containing 2 folders (ringtones & my radio recs) but no mp3s. Do i need to put my music into the ringtones folders?
Tthe tittle sayz it all! I have music and audiobooks in mp3 format and when i choose TRACKS they apear all togheter. filtering them out by playlist isnt a option because i update my music frequently and i dont have time 2 insert any new song in a "MY MUSIC PLAYLIST". in the manual it sayz that when u select TRACKS it only shows you the music without the ringtones and that's not true.
Yesterday I found out that my phone does not ring when there's an incoming call although it's not in silent mode. I have checked everything I know and set the ring volume to max.
I have just gone from Sony Ericsson C902 to Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. On the C902 I was able to assign different ringtones to different contacts, but on the Xperia X8 I don't seem to be able to do this. Kath
I am not a phone pro so I do not know how to connect to IM. Could anyone give me guidance on this topic? Like setting servers and so on. I want to connect to MSN and I'm using a hotmail account.
Just got a Vivaz and trying to set up the mail to work with exchange. I have defined a mailbox but every time I go back into settings like the prompt says the mail box is not there and I then have to define a new mail box, which then disappears again. I have even read the instruction book and gone through the correct steps.
When I open IM on my Vivaz Pro, I am prompted to create a server. When I click Yes, I am shown a screen with "access point in use" as one of the options. It is currently set to "must be defined". When I press it to edit it (I cannot save with the setting "must be defined") I am prompted to "define an access point in settings. I return to the main menu and open settings>connectivity>destinations, the only screen I have found with references to access points. After setting all access points on this screen to my home WiFi network, I return to IM only to be faced with the exact same problem.Also, I have set my home WiFi network up in the settings page, but whenever I leave that page, it changes from "connected" to "known", preventing me from accessing the internet.
Have no ring tone (or speaker sound) on my W300i? Before junking it, am trying to reinstall W300i software using SE Update Service. Does anyone know where to find, and install phone driver(s) that work?
My light timeout setting keeps on automatically resets itself to 5 seconds anyone has this problem? How do I fix it? It's quite annoying having to set it back to 60 seconds every few days.
Every time I try to it says connect it says speaker cannot be turned on while using bluetooth headset. If I don't have it connected to the headset it says please connect the handset it works as the antenna. What can I do? I would like to be able to use the radio on this as an alarm clock as it is an option in the alarm settings but yet it cant be played out loud?
I have a W910i Sony Ericsson phone. And we have WIFI connection in my home and at my work place. Thus, we have our own wireless router. Is it possible for me to connect to our WIFI connection using my W910i? If it is possible, how will I connect to it?
Does anyone know hoe to set the default tone for the delivery report? For message deliveries it plays the same sound as the message tone and is often confusing. Whereas the bluetooth receiver plays a different sound which is universal to all SE delivery report sounds. Could anyone tell me how to set it to the other tone and not the message alert tone?
I had to reprogram my K800i and lost all my settings. I've got it all set up except for the earpiece volume which is typically low in this model. The fix is to set it in the service menu. When I go to the secret service menu to raise the earpiece volume, it allows me to change it, I hit ok. If I go back, it is at the old level, not the one I just set.
So is it really not saving it or just going to a default level? If it is not saving it, what could be wrong? I have updated the service to the latest one and my phone is not a locked version. I would test it but it is midnight here and I don't wake anyone to have them give me a test call. (no land line either)
I just cant figure out how to put my music on my phone through media go. i tried the regular drag and drop but it didn't work. I tried using media go but it comes up with an error # 0x8007001f. And when I try to connect my phone it says it cannot be recognized?
I want to use wma music files as a ringtone, however my phone keeps defaulting to the Sony standard ringtone. I have saved my phone contacts and my proposed ringtone files to the phone memory and set each contact up with their correct ringtone. Also, having set a new default ringtone for general calls, this doesn't seem to want to work either - again the Sony ringtone keeps going off. I have even tried to find the Sony ringtone on the phone and delete it, but without success.
