Chane Alarm Sound?

[krazichinaman]

Hello,
I've done a few searches but I have not found an answer. I would like to change the sound of the "Alarm". I almost threw my phone this morning because "Alarm5" scared the living day lights out of me. I can't find the files where these alarms are held.

Some of the other threads that I found in the search stated to put the the file I want as a .wav file into the Mydevice>/Windows directory. Would this work?

*Bah just realized that the title should be "Change"

Update

I changed my file to a .wav format and placed it into the /windows directory. I did a soft reset and the file appeared. However, when I would click on my custom sound, it would automatically change it to default in the "Alarm Screen." Keep in mind, my file was named somthing like "adfadfad - adfa3sf.wav." I think that long name had something to do with the error.

I ended up deleting the file again because it would not work. I had the idea that if I trimed the file down to about 30 seconds and made the file name short, that it would work.

On the second attempt, the file worked!

So, for those that want to add a custom sound for an alarm you
1) Convert your mp3 file to wav file
2) Make sure that the name of the file is simple with no spaces or dashes
3) place this file in "Mydevices>Windows"
4) * Note I made new ones with this same method and it didn't work. I had to convert the .wav files into MONO instead of stero. It works now.

Hope this helps anyone else with this problem!

Regards,
Brian
