Repair My Cell Phone

Boy, talk about being out of the loop.  This has been known for the last 4 months and I didn’t know it!

Check out the video below for how you can make your own custom ringtones for the sidekick LX 2009 and then transfer them to your phone.

If you’re looking to just download Sidekick ringtones for the Sidekick LX 2009, you can get them over at Skringers.com!

Important thing to remember is the file size of the ringtone should be kept below 100kb

What Sidekick models will these ringtones work for?

You can load these ringtones on your Sidekick if either:
- You have a Sidekick LX 2009
- You have a non-T-Mobile Sidekick (aka Hiptop)

Why can’t I load these ringtones on my T-Mobile Sidekick 3, Slide, 2008, etc?

While every Sidekick and Hiptop has the technical capabilities for using custom ringtones, T-Mobile made the decision to restrict this feature from their users on most of the Sidekick devices. The one exception to this was the Sidekick LX 2009.

How do I load these on my Sidekick LX 2009?

The easiest way to load ringtones on your Sidekick 2009 is via email. When you email a supported ringtone to your device, you will see an additional button next to the attachment in your email that will allow you to add the ringtone. So in short, email the ringtone as an attachment to an email account that you can check on your Sidekick and then look for the button. Once you’ve added the ringtone, you will be able to select it from the “Imported” category. Here is the official Sidekick LX 2009 manual page on this.

How do I delete ringtones I’ve imported?

At this time, you can not delete them. I have read that people say as you add more than 10 it will ask you to delete one. Apparently somebody at Danger forgot to put in that feature, so currently you can’t manually delete ringtones. It is assumed that this will be fixed with an OTA (Over The Air) Update in the near future.

Here is the video that will walk you through making your own.

One other thing, I have also read about people being able to import these on their Sidekick LX and Slide by installing the SIM card from their Sidekick LX 09 into the Sidekick LX or Sidekick Slide.  If anyone gets this to work, let us know by leaving a comment below.

Now go have fun making custom ringtones for your Sidekick 2009.
