Root of the storage card meaning not in any subfolders, correct?

In other words, open storage card and have the ringtones/alerts showing immediately when you access the storage card? I'm going to try that also because I'd rather not take up extra drive space on my actual machine (and leave that to programs/cabs/etc...).

Only do this if you don't care about the data on your card. This is exactly how you corrupt the card. You don't want basic things like ringtones/background images being read from the card. Too much conflict with power-saving modes/etc.

You have been warned.

Good 'bit of information to know. Wasn't aware of that. I'll keep that in mind as well.

Alarmpal. Try it out. I like it because it will repeat alerts in case you didn't hear it the first time, have different alerts for different events, and can schedule it to shutup at night.

Have you ever owned a PPC before? It makes perfect sense. If the card is being routinely accessed for data like backgrounds, ringtones, and other data, you can run into SD card corruption.

Read through the Touch/Mogul forum if you don't believe me. Card corruption is a VERY common problem...

So that this discussion doesnt get off track any further, the solution is this. In order to have your own ring tones rather than the default for email and text messages, first the rigns have to be in wav. format. Also if you save the tones in the root of the card they can be used. I guess this is the best solution for now. It works so far.

Not true. MP3 works great, and always has.

I can see why people might want to keep their ringtones on their SD card, but I have ALWAYS copied all 100 of my individual ringtones to /my documents/my ringtones and I always have tons of programs installed, never to the sd card, and I have never once came close to running out of space, even on my Touch.

I guess people won't learn until they find out the hard way, but hey, if you can use the SD card with no problems, then be my guest.

Would you put a critical part of Windows XP on a USB hard disk? That's how I would compare it. No, you wouldn't, because USB has different power allocations, and it gets shutdown at various times.

Re: Personalized Notifications for SMS,MMS,E-mail

well I downloaded a trial program of Ringo Mobile from the sprint windows mobile website that allows you to do so...luckily for me I found a way to keep downloading it for free when it expires as long as the file is still on ur phone.just reinstall it...the bad thing is u hv to do it once a week.
