    then go to effects -> high pass filter. set it at 160 hZ and press ok. this will remove bass which distorts all ****ty phone speakers.

    then save it as a mpeg-4 file, or .m4a. choose average bitrate, and select 128kbps. Then go to this website:ttp://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/ and upload your song and then they text you the song and the phone recognizes it as a ringtone to use. Hope this helps it worked for me. Sorry the website is and http it would not let me post links.

    I can get my tone to download, (it is in .qcp format), but my phone keeps saying "invalid content". It does the same thing if I try to download an mp3 as well.

    Anyone have a solution to this/

    I know this is a pretty old topic but the problem I'm having is trying to tranfer ringtones from the sd card to the phone. I've put the tones in the media folder but when it asks me where I want to transfer them to my ringtones folder isn't on the list. I've put mp3 ringtones on the card and the phone recongnizes them and plays them, but as far as setting them as ringtones???? Any ideas?

    I have a katana and searched HIGH AND LOW on what is compatible...finally found out sprint phones use a file called PUREVOICE...QUALCOMM or QUALOGIC i forget which one but either way it's called PUREVOICE CONVERTER if you want to convert mp3's to a sprint compatible file

    I tried to do this and I'm getting an error message at the converter. I changed the bit rate and everything and I'm still getting an error that says

    "The ringtone you provided is either in the incorrect format, or it's contents have been corrupted without ability to repar the sound file on the fly, or its size exceeds the maximum allowed limit. Please check your file, make sure that it's in the correct format and try again.

    Please keep in mind that renaming MP3 files into MIDI won't help you to convert them into note-based ringtones.

    Please refer to the list of Frequently Asked Questions for more information about your issue.

    Try again"


    can you tell me what i may be doing wrong??? ...

    the katana uses the .qcp format. i don't have or use a cable so i have no idea how to do it with that. but if you have internet, this is how i do it.

    download audacity from here Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder make sure you also download the lame mp3 encoder so you can export your file as an mp3. load your mp3 or wav file into audacity and select the section of the file you want as your ringtone. once you have what you want, export it as an mp3. you might have to play with the bit rate settings as you'll need to keep the file under 200k.

    after you have your mp3 file go to this page
    Convert Ringtones - free online ringtone converter (SMAF MMF, MIDI, SP-MIDI, Nokia, Sagem, Motorola, WAVE, MP3, AMR, IMelody, eMelody) and up near the top left click on the online converter link. follow the instructions to load your file and pick your phone and it will upload and convert your file to the proper ringtone format. download the new file to your computer, then go to this site to send it to your phone Mobile Phone Uploader you need to know your sms email address. i.e [email protected] or you can just put the file in and get the jump code and use your phone to go to the wap site they specify.

    that's it. i'm on bell and i've never had a problem using this method yet. the audacity program is also great if the ringtone you found is to quiet, as you can amplify the sound or do pretty much what ever you want to it.

    have fun.


    sorry about that. forgot to uncheck the link check boxes.

    audacity is here http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

    the online converting site is here
    http://www.convert-ringtones.com/ringtone-101.jsp

    and the site to send the ringers to your phone is here.

    I can't get my USB cord drivers to work with my phone either so, I'm having no luck and I cancelled my internet since this month is almost over. I had a free month of service so I was able to get a few things on there, but now need to get a working cord to transfer without having to use the net, any luck anyone?

    Thanks for the replys. Does anyone know if any software supports the Katana yet, so I can "roll my own" ringtones into my phone?
