The Classic Ringtone Thread - BlackBerryForums.com : Your Number One BlackBerry Community

dabull · 09:36 PM

There isnt a special spot for that not-so-special sound. This should be a native option on every phone, but that classic style old-time ringer simply isnt.

For awhile, i am going to host some classic ringtones as mp3's that you can directly download from your phone. i only have the pearl so its all i know that works.
It would be nice to have a separate thread for the classic ringtones because they are so hard to find on the web. hopefully, someday this thread will be at the top of google search.

only one for now, more later. this one isnt quite as old-style as i want, but i will get more.
i will post the best ones in this first post-

**updated link** now longer ring with rhythm pause you may have to clear your browser's cache if the link doesnt play the updated version. the nice thing about this one is its LOUD.
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/Classic.mp3
another, also nice, reminds me of cordless phones
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/cordless.mp3
business or office type ringers
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/office1.mp3
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/office2.mp3

vintage style / classic ring type (louder, clearer version comming in about a week)
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/vintage2.mp3
another, should be better
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/vintage3.mp3
another shot, longer and louder. its too bad about the cover on the 8100, it really hampers the sound
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/vintage4.mp3

this one would be good for a text notify. would also be a decent ringer
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/notify.mp3
another, the t-mobile theme tone. also good for notification
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/tmo2.mp3
the one and only 'you got mail'
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/gotmail.mp3
you have voicemail
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/voicemail.mp3
sort of like an AIM ding-dong
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/ding.mp3

an alarm! 15 constant seconds of a bell.
https://publish.insightbb.com/personalfile/personalsite/sublime40/alarm.mp3

just for note- these ringers i have found around various websites, and a couple from threads here. ive cleaned them up using de-noise filters and ive maximized the volume. they have also been edited for longer ring duration and better pauses between rings. i dont want any credit for the ringers, but i have modified them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have never understood why Blackberry failed to put a "normal" ringtone on its newest business-oriented handhelds.

rxncorral · 11-04-2006, 12:01 PM

I tryed entering the file on my browser but it said it wasnt found. Then I tryed copying and paste but it didn't work either. I tryed it on my PC and worked perfectly. Am I doing something wrong on the pearl or what? How can I save the file from my PC? Thanks

dabull · 11-04-2006, 12:20 PM

yeah sorry about that, i should have mentioned that it wasnt the full link. me being a new member, they wont let me post full links

rxncorral · 11-04-2006, 12:29 PM

Yeah I had to put the link on a page and right click it from there.

lonnielove · 11-04-2006, 12:34 PM

well pin me with it and you can send it to me or the people that want it, is that leagal on these forums,thats a good one i feel the need for a new ring tone.

rdkl24 · 11-04-2006, 12:47 PM

You rock! I hate how new phones dont have the classic celphone ringtones.

dabull · 11-04-2006, 12:53 PM

sorry for those who are having trouble, i was able to directly enter the url into the "goto" box and it just popped up the music player with the ringer going. weird that some have to link it to a page..

im having a bit of a problem with my next ringer i want to post. this one i have been using for over a year on my vx9800, and its exactly like an old classic rotary-dial phone. its also special because i remember using an mp3 tool to max out the volume, this ringer is blaringly loud. in fact, i think its the one that sort of broke my 9800 speakers, as they have a constant crackle in them now.

my problem is the ringer in on the phone itself, not the memory card, and i lost my bitpim cable. if i cant find it by the end of the weekend ill just order up another off ebay, theyre only $5 shipped.

so get ready for it

its the best ringer ive ever heard on a cell phone, i promise.

dabull · 11:29 PM

heres one that i came up with. i tried to preserve the quality best i could, but its not as good as it should be, or as good as the ringtone i need to get off my vx9800. its not nearly as clear as it needs to be, once i get that data cable i can post a much better sounding version, but for now this isnt too bad.

this one isnt as good as vintage2 posted above.

lonnielove · 11-04-2006, 03:03 PM

can you email it to me, we had better ask the admin if thats kool, well admin i know he or she is monitoring these forums so admin is it kool

absolved · 11-04-2006, 09:50 PM

Hey I like it!
Question though, is there any way to shorten the delay between rings like on the first one? I really like the rhythm of the default tones (raytrace and classic).

hey, thank you! i was foolishly wondering why my phone didnt ring quite right, i thought it was a setting i had wrong on the phone.

i made a change, i made the ring hold a little longer and i added the pause you asked for. it sounds much much better now, let me know if theres anything else i should do to it. just delete the classic.mp3 from your phone and reload that first link i posted with your phones browser, its now an updated link

Great Idea Guys, but how do we get these on to the BlackBerry device?

Please advise

Use your phones browser and go directly to the links given above.

that should work?

dabull · 11-05-2006, 05:07 PM

yes. just enter the url's in your 'go to' box in the blackberry's browser. it will pop up the media player and from there you can play and save it.

allen2oo3 · 11-05-2006, 05:15 PM

thanks...cant stand most of the ringers that come with the phone.

dabull · 11-05-2006, 05:50 PM

its obvious they do it on purpose. if they put decent normal ringers in there, not many people would go looking to spend money on new ringers.

i hear they say ringtone sales are about to outweigh music album sales. no wonder half of the sales pitch you get when signing a new contract is nothing but ringtone pushing.

crutch · 11-07-2006, 01:11 PM

I have a tmobile.mp3 ring that I like the sound of but it is not quite loud enough. Would you be able to clean it up and increase the volume of it too?

Thanks

dabull · 11-07-2006, 01:40 PM

yeah i can do that. you have a way of posting it?

cristian1la · 11-07-2006, 08:02 PM

You are the best. Thanks for this. I've been looking everywhere for this. This thread should be stickied to the top!

dabull · 11-07-2006, 10:43 PM

i couldnt believe how hard it was to find free classic ringers. i know there are a ton of people that want them, it seems like everyone i know says they cant stand the goofy ringers they give you.

its almost like a nation-wide conspiracy to rid the net of regular ringers.

crutch · 11-08-2006, 08:03 AM

Try the link below to get the T-Mobile ring. Hopefully you will get a dialog box to save the file when you copy and paste this in your browser. As I said, the volume on it is a little low, even though I have it set at the highest setting on my 8703. Also, the end of the file is kind of butchered. You'll know what I mean when you hear it. Thanks again dabull

home.comcast.net/~s_crutchfield/T-Mobile.mp3

FYI, the forum won't let me post an actual URL because my post count is less than 10 but you should be able to copy and paste this into IE or whatever you use.

Thanks for finding them, cleaning up the sound and increasing the volume, hosting them and sharing them with all of us. I've just snagged a few of these so thank you very much for these!

hey, i already have that sound posted above. check it out, the 'tmo2.mp3' one. i had already made it louder. its only one loop, but i think its better that way so you can use it for text notification without it playing for longer then you want. also, when set as a ringer it will loop over and over.

crutch · 11-08-2006, 02:57 PM

Dang, sorry I missed seeing that T-Mobile ring before.

Just curious, what software are you using to manipulate these files?

dabull · 11-08-2006, 04:26 PM

GoldWave - Audio Software its the best audio editor out there from my experience.

celltester · 11-08-2006, 07:23 PM

i like wavepad...

Zebel · 12-15-2006, 12:08 PM

Thankyou. What a star. "You got mail" Thats awesome.

loxllxol · 12-30-2006, 12:08 AM

since this phone doesn't have a file explorer...how do you delete files from the phone?

In this case, I DLed ringtones I know I won't use..how do you find and delete them?

QFT. Seriously, I can't stand using songs as ringtones, and I hate how there are never any good "normal" ringtone options on most cell phones these days. Thanks much!

Heavy Fluid · **OS:** 4.5.0.77

I agree. To me, music ringtones are obnoxious.

Check out my 4 Shared folder for regular ringers, voicemail and alert tones.

httx://wwwDOT4sharedDOTcom/dir/1307542/2d800de3/sharing.html

Change the first x to a p and you are set, change DOT to a period. Not sure why I have to have 10 posts to share a bunch of ringtones with you all, but oh well.

dabull · 01-07-2007, 05:56 PM

that 4 share link doesnt seem to work

ive been away from this project for awhile, i think i pretty much covered the basics anyway. im still in search of good quality regular ringers, if anyone has anymore im interested.

It does work. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link (not sure why as I am helping others out here) but those are the rules. Make sure you are typing it correctly. There are some very good ringers on there, and alerts plus voicemail alerts.

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

These are great! Thanks dabull!

Thanks for this!! Does anyone know the setting that activates a tone for voice mail on the 8700. Its not message or message 1. I am trying to set your voice mail tone its really neat!

I'm actually looking for the classic BLACKBERRY email alert sound. You know, the three ascending tones. I would love to have that for use in my Pearl. You know what they say, everything old is new again!

Anyone?

Lex Luthor · 02-14-2007, 04:52 PM

I kind of miss some of the old midi tones I had on my 7290 back in the day. Does anyone know where I can find them?
