I've downloaded a ringtone but my phone is telling me I need to install a plug in to make it work. How do I do that??
Help!
You can't actually do that.
If you have the original version Katana, the 6600, it's only plays polyphonic ringtones, in the qualcom format of QCB.
Freeringers.net has a good help section if you sign up with them, here's a cut and paste version.
You basically need a program to convert an mp3 to a wav file format. (like dbpower amp but there are many others, alot of them freeware).
Sound recorder on your computer applications, to pick a segment and crop the audio. Usually about 30 to 60 seconds is good enough. There's a file limit size on the Katana for downloads of about 100kb.
And a converter program that will convert wav to qcb. You can download an application from Qualcom Communications for free, or this little program called purevoice.

All you do is little drag the wav file over this application and it automatically compiles in about 3 seconds, a qcb file into the same folder.

Provides the full version of purevoice convertor so you can listen to the quality of the qcb file.
You'll need an application to convert the MP3 or CD to a WAV file. We suggest this free tool:
dBpowerAmp Converter 10.1 (Download and install it)
You'll also need PureVoice for QCP conversion:
PureVoice Converter (No installation. Right click "Save Target As...")
If you're running Windows Vista you'll need the Windows XP version of Sound Recorder:
Sound Recorder (Right click link, "Save Target As...", save to "C:\Windows\System32\")
Conversion Steps:
Note: If you want to rip a song from a CD, replace step 1 with these instructions.
