GucciCondom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Different wording a little, maybe less confusing? WARNING I DO NOT know the extent at which this works ( "How many tones that can be added""How long the ringtones can be"FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!! I AM NOT/WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CASUED TO YOUR PANTECH DUO BY PERFORMING THIS PROCESS!! Doing this involves tinkering with the phones defaults if you change something that you are not supposed to the phone may not work causing the phones warranty to be void (Solution:If your not sure what your doing DONT DO IT). Before you start make sure all ringtones you desire to be used as alerts for text messages, voicemail, etc. are in the "\My Documents\My Ringtones\" folder. This is very important as you will see. Also make sure all ringtones are short enough (15 seconds MAX) that they will be recognized as useable tones* 1. Download the Mobile Registry Editor (Don't worry it's Free) Breaksoft . com >Blog> Utlities (sorry forum wound not allow a direct link) 2. Connect your Pantech Duo to your Desktop/Laptop and run the registry editor 3. Once your device and has been connected to the Editor open "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" (should be the second file folder down) 4. Open "Control Panel" (this should also be the second file folder down) 5. Click (and only click) "Sounds" (Should be the 15th file folder down *make sure its just "Sounds" and not "SoundCatergories"*) 6. Double Click "All Sounds" 7. In the pop up menu box scroll down to the end of the list of assorted factory tones 8. Put your cursor at the end of the last line and press enter to creat a new line to type in 9. Type in " \My Documents\My Ringtones\ " immediately by the exact name of the file you wish to enter ( EXAMPLE: \My Documents\My Ringtones\342.wow.mp3) MAKE SURE YOU ADD THE FILE TYPE (.wma,.mp3, etc.) 10. Click "OK" when you are finsihed adding your ringtones 11. On your Pantech Duo from the home menu Click Start>Settings>Sounds>Text Message then scroll through the tone options to reveal that tones you added are options and and can be play automatically!! Reply and tell me if it worked, if it didn't, or if the directions are unclear P.S. have someone text you to double check if it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GucciCondom Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Haha I beat you seffiks with the initial reply :tongue: No doubt Shai, it's all good though. It is pretty rewarding being able to pretty easily fix people's shit that they couldn't even comprehend how to do I wouldn't mind doing this shit for a while until I get up on that specialization tip.

GucciCondom Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yo guys this is the story of my fucking life. This damn A+ test had confusing ass questions on the Essentials exam. I failed it by PASSING SCORE=675 CANDIDATE SCORE=620 BUT the second fucking test, which didn't confuse me but was supposedly harder I passed PASSING SCORE=700 CANDIDATE SCORE=765 how the fuck do you fail the essentials but pass the designation? ASSHOLES USING CONFUSING WORDING, THATS HOW looks like i need to waste another 150 dollars to go and do it again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qawee Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Gucci, what kind of questions did they ask you? ie did they ask you about the voltages, bus speeds of pentium2 motherboards and shit like that. Also how much did you pay to take it? Do they give you a second chance for free or something? I need to get this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I got the new laptop..... Compaq Presario F756NR http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8648118&type=product&id=1195598868093 So, it's got Vista on it. I can deal with that- for now. However, I would like to put XP on it, but I can't seem to find a straight answer as to whether there's XP-compatible drivers available for it. I hear the issues are with the SATA, wifi and Nvidia drivers. Anyone have ideas? Besides all that, it's a nice laptop. I'd recommend it. casek- do you have any leads on XP compatible drivers for this laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GucciCondom Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yeah Qawee they ask a lot of shit about like "Larry wants to set up a system with _______ motherboard, what CPU would work with that motherboard?" Answers: A: CPU 1 B: CPU 2 C: CPU 3 D: CPU 4 These questions vary with everything, much more so on the second test too. A lot of shit about laptops and biometric security and BIOS and networking and authentication/user privelages, all sorts of ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GucciCondom Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 They even asked about like PDA's and tablet PC's and shit..so you really gotta read the material and know all the topics pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
