Re: Nokia 6265i From Telus *ringtone help*
Ok.....so I got it to work on my 6265i. Basically what you do is download Diego (make sure it is the version above or 3.06, since older versions are not recognizing 6265i ). I found it on isohunt.com, but I am pretty sure thare are other places to find it. (btw...limewire was a dissapointment )
So let's get to the business. First of all don't go and try everything which you about to read before reading "IMPORTANT" part at the end...you might not want to proceed after. So here we go....I used USB (eBay $10 tops) which came with drivers and PcSuite program. If you installed the drivers before Diego, then you in for a surprise...Diego will not install. What you have to do is uninstall those drivers from a CD before Diego instalation. PcSuite seems to not interupt with Diego at all, and using the same drivers, so you can play around with a lot of midi, or mp3's now. Once all the installing is done, conect your phone and make sure that Diego is interacting with it (you'll see it in the lower left corner if it does or not). Now for the juicy stuff..... Select "Phone Settings" on the left and read data from phone. You'll see a big tree of the DataFile system on your phone. It is prolly a good idea to save it to file on your hard and play with it from there (just a hint )So now you have to find "Ringtone Settings", it should be under 'PRI ID Settings-->Generic Features-->General Menu & User Settings-->Operator Menu' (at least it was there on mine. Select it and in the right half-window you'll see something like that: Set as a Ringtone Menu Options Option 2 - Included only for copy........ (you'll read it when you see it, I'm not gonna spoil all the fun). Simply click on "Option 2" and change it to "Option 0".......write it all back on the phone, and you are done!!!!
IMPORTANT:
1. As mentioned before in this thread....don't you do anything illegal
2. Use the above instructions on you own risk, I am not responcible for 'dead' cellphones (and this baby is quite expencive...so.....it is up for you to decide)
3. You should know that it scared a **** out of me when I wrote it all back on the phone, and my brand new beautifull Nokia went blank with "Local Mode" written on the screen and no responce for buttons ......so i did what every guy who has no clue on what is going on would do: took the battery out . good ol battery remove/reset saved me in alot of tough situations with my old junky Audivox. So anyway my 6265i rebooted just fine with no apparent loss of data and was playing my Tiesto ringtone which I got off my buddies cell via bluetooth, plus I tried uploading one mp3 and one midi from my hard and they too worked perfectly.
4. If you have a courage to try it on your own be my guest, but I will not be able to help if something goes wrong, since I did it by reading Diego's tutorial and performing some 'scientific guessing'
So there you have it.
Hope it helps.
Cheers and good luck!

I have done what was shown. It works perfectly. I also had found how to run Java Mobile games from MMC. Can't remember where it is, but It says something like "Play Java from MMC"

Re: Nokia 6265i From Telus *ringtone help*
Thanks, but I need to know two things before I proceed.
1.) Can I do this with a Bluetooth dongle or does it have to be with the USB cable? I can't see the difference since they both are used to transfer data. What are your thoughts?
2.) I have a SanDisk mini card. What is an MMC card and is it necessary for this to work? The Nokia 6265i's manual says that it only supports SanDisk mini cards.
Thanks guys!
Oh, I also read in a different forum that the activation keys are unlocked on the Rogers network and that you can set MP3's and voice recordings as ringtones as you wish. Anyone else hear of this?

Re: Nokia 6265i From Telus *ringtone help*
I can only share what I have done with my phone. I'm sorry that I don't have all of the answers.
For 1. I wouldn;t see the difference. I used a USB cable. If you already have the bluetooth stuff, then try that. At least it will save you the cost of the cable. If not then I figure that the USB cable for the unit is cheaper than a bluetooth adapter.
For 2. You are right, it is a MiniSD card that goes in. I'm not sure why in Diego they refer to a MMC. Maybe a series of phones used MMC cards and the theme stuck. I don't know.
And for the activation codes, the Diego is the work around for that. IF you change the setting, then the list will remain empty and you can use mp3's as ring tones. I actually have a clip of Captain Hero from Drawn Together as mine. I can also now play Mobile Java games on my phone too. They are more than just invalid apps. The reason it says that is because of a setting that denies you to use games on the memory card.
I hope this clears up some things for you..

You can not use MP3's as ringtones. You need to use xilisoft to convert them to 3ggp files first.

But don't get me wrong, that has about 2 more steps than the Nokia.
