Can't you already use any mp3 as a ringtone or do you mean bypasing the normal length of a ringtone?

It sounds like your network has been buggering around with the firmware! If this is the case then you have one of two options; unbrand or cirumvent the DMA protection. SE used to offer an application for download on their website that would enable you to encode/decode DMA protection on files, but I'm not sure whether they still offer it.

The geenric K800/K790 should be able to use nay mp3 as a ringtone, but if your network has changed the firmware then you will have to unbrand or circumvent the DMA protection.

MP3's do work as ring tones on the k790. They just have to be sampled at 112kbs or less. I tried a 20 sec sample at 112kbs and it works fine. Then converted it to wav so I could use it with MagicWord. Haven't tried a full length MP3 at 112, but the ringer only plays about 20 sec, so why use up the memory? I used WavePad (free) to sample and convert.

Hey, Maverick;

OK, here's what I did, step by step...
- Opened the mp3 I wanted to use
- Selected the portion of the song that I wanted (I used the first 19 secs of Ozzy - Crazy Train. SWEET!)
- Clicked on the first icon above the song name (or click on Edit, Copy to New)
- Then clicked Save File
- Changed Save as Type to MP3
- Clicked in Save
- Changed Bitrate to 112
- Clicked OK
- Transferred to my phone

Hope that helps.

I was at work when I tried it that way (didn't have my cable), so I saved the file to an SD card, then BT'd it to my phone (from my Palm). That's the only other thing I can think of. I've since debranded and no longer have restrictions.
Good luck.

Mine's from Rogers as well. If you want full functionality, I suggest you debrand. I used wotanserver.com

Very easy. Just flashes with "real" firmware, not Rogers version. Just be sure to back up all contacts, Pictures, Themes, Games, etc., as flashing wipes everything. Look for posts on debranding. There are tons out there.

Does anyone have the this problem? My computer doesn't read my phone (as a storage drive) when the USB cable is plugged in. I installed the "disc2"phone" software and all the drivers, and still doesn't work. What else do I need to do? Please help!!!

I just got a sory ericsson K790a, and yes you can use righ tones as MP3's. I used dBpowerAMP Music Converter to make the music file a WAV file at 8000 Frequency. It work well and it is easy. I don't know about anyone here but I doesn't get much simpler.

You can convert them like mentioned above, or you can search for a DRM packager, and once you use that, you can use them. You can also debrand the phone and full mp3 ringtones will work.

If you purchase this phone unbranded/unlocked online from a retailer, not a provider, you will be able to use mp3 ringtones also. Rogers tends to block some, if not all of their phones.

I did get my phone from Rogers and like I said, only needed to convert to wma at 16000 or 8000 frequency and tada! I just converted everything I wanted on my phone that I needed or thought I would need to use as alarm, message alert or ringtone.
One thing I did not like about the phone though was when I paired my bluetooth with it, it did not switch to hands free setting automatically. My w600i did, so when I walked into a store it wouldn't ring out loud. Called Sony Ericsson and they said this phone that has all the bells and whistles is missing that whistle?
