anyway to lift the 300k restriction on ringtones?

---

im transfering my ringtones from my bold to my captivate and it states that i cant use anything above 300k, as most of my ringtones are above 300k. Is there anyway to get around this? Thanks. Also is there a way to set said ringtone as the DEFAULT ringtone besides using the stock sounds that samsung provides? please advise.

i used MP3s for my ring tones and they are 3-5 megs with no issues.
what you have do is sync to your computer and create a folder in the root directory of the SD card (/sdcard/) that's labeled ringtones.
i copied my MP3s there and they showed up in the list of available ring tones.
you may be able to do it right from the file browser on the phone, but i don't know how to do that yet. just got the phone yesterday.
now to figure out how to get custom txt message noises.

btw i downloaded ringo-pro and was able to change the default ringtone no problem...

thats sorta stupid the 300kb cap... i would just go into the sd card and make a folder named ringtones that works usually

Get Rings Extended

---

I actually own a Captivate, and the only way I was able to get around the limit was to install the free Rings Extended app. I had already put my full-length ringtones in the /media/audio/ringtones folder on the phone's internal memory, after trying to just have the ringtones folder on the root of my SD card to no avail, and it didn't work.

In order to get Rings Extended to work (it doesn't have an icon on the app list), go to Settings, Sound and Display, Voice Call Ringtone, check the set default box, and choose Rings Extended to manage ringtone selection. You can then change your phone's ringtone to something larger. To set ringtones per person, just go to your Contacts list and do it as normal. Rings Extended will pop up to allow you to choose longer ones.
