after trying all the suggestions in this site I still wasnt able to do anything and asking a question in the forim proved fruitless. I did some research on my own and found the easiest wy possible. Go to wap41.com they are a free wap hosting site so you can host remotely your own files. Sign up for an account with them. Create an index wml file in this format:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card title="Ringtones">
<p>
<a href="your tone.mmf">your tone</a><br/>
</p>
</card>
</wml>

then simply upload the mmf file and youre done. Point your wap browser to wap41.com/yourusername and youre set. I tried everything I read here and nothing worked but I was able to get my own ring tones like this. Its much less of a hassle.

If you have any questions feel free to email me.

Clever idea! Any way to do this with wallpaper rather then ring tones?

When I called radio shack they told me they have Data Cables for the Motorola T720 but they were 100 dollars. I just spent 300 on the phone, I don't want to spend any more icon_mad.gif

I also tried to look up weather or not it was possible to use a data link cable and on the Motorola website and they claim they do not have a wire accessory that supports the downloading of wallpapers / ringtones, so I am really confused.

personally, I spent 300 dollars on my phone. A considerable amount so I dont see why I have to go and spend another coniderable amount to be able to put ring tones or walpapers in. The data cable costs money, the inf port costs money too. I dont have the finances at the moment so wap is a much better option. Its ot hard to do and it gets the job done nicely.

As for using wap41 for walapaers Im currently working on a way to do that, I had an email from a guy that wants to do it but he ran into problems and I am running into the same probelms, so Im working on it and Ill let you all know when I find a solution

Instead of making your own wap-sites or buy expensive cables, visit www.eaid.dk/mobil and use the english version og e·uploader. You will find a direct link in the bottom of the page (where the text is in english..)

You can upload midi, pictures and programs and it is for free icon_smile.gif

Sorry to dig this topic up again, but I'm having some problems that I can't seem to sort out. I've created a wap page based on the above code (www.ourownspace.com/index.wml). I've setup the correct MIME type settings (AddType application/x-smaf .mmf) both in a .htaccess file and the control panel of the server (cPanel). However, when I try to download the ringtone I keep getting a 406: Content invalid error, I'm using a T100 in the UK on T-Mobile. Can anybody suggest how to solve the problem as I can't see what I am doing wrong. The page works fine if I use the Opera browser to view the wap page and download the ringtone to my desktop, it's just getting it to the phone that's the problem. Could it be that I am not uploading them correctly, I have my FTP program set to auto.

Thankks in advance for your help.

I just read that the MIME settings that I posted above (application/x-smaf .mmf) are not correct and they should in fact be "application/vnd.smaf mmf". I'm going to change it now and see if that changes the situation. Wish me luck icon_smile.gif .
