> Vodafone V800 and mp3 ringtones?
Bookmark topic
I know this has been/is an issue ith Vodafone branded handsets but does anyone know if the workaround with the DRM packager can be used for the V800? I did try last night but didn't really know what I was doing and it didn't seem to work. Are there some specific settings to try? Or have Vodafone got wise to this and closed that loophole?

It worked for me, I used DRM Packager 1.2. Now I can use my mp3s as ringtones.

If it was for the V800 then please let me know what settings you used. I tried using the latest version (1.21) and couldn't get it to work. I left all the other settings alone and tried both the forward-lock and combined delivery options (just set today's date for the combined delivery start date) and both created a .dm file but this wasn't played by the phone when I copied it across.
I found one or two threads about using this method for the K700 but got the impression that latest f/w might have stopped it working?

I didn't change any settings in the program, I just choose, add file... chosed the mp3 that I Wanted to change to A .dm file and pushed the button "Create DRM Content" then it was finished. And yes I used the .dm file on A V800.

Off the Sony Ericsson developer website at
http://www.sonyericsson.com/developer where you need to register (free) and then go to the docs and tools tab and under miscellaneous you will find the drm packager.
I'll try a different file and see if it was just mine being funny. I think the first time I tried it the phone would play the file in the media player but not as a ringtone.
Weird - now it seems to work fine! I did use a different method to set it as the ringtone this time though. I had played it once in the media player and had then exited and gone into the my items folder, found the file and then clicked more, Use, set as ringtone and it seems to work fine. Previously I had tried to set the ringtone from within the ringtone menu (and I might not have played it first which I think might be what engages the rights?).
Anyway - I just used the standard forward-lock setting and it worked.

I think that you need to save the ringtone in the internal memory instead of the memory stick. Thatīs the way I got it to work anyway.
