i have a w810i and i cant get the music from my pc to play as a ringtone.
is there something i have to do to the file before i put it on the phone?

can some on help me with this please?
 
Yeah, that's your problem right there. Service providers want you to spend a little bit more money by buying ringtones now from their media malls.

One way to go around this is to flash the phone's firmware to generic version so that it will be unbranded from the service provider's own, which in your case is Cingular. You can use Phone XS to flash the fw. It's free, but it might take considerably long for the process to finish. Or you can also use services like wotanserver.com and davinciteam.com for flashing. You'd have to buy a credit which costs about 12 USD. The process is really simple and it would only take a few minutes. Also there are basic walkthroughs to help you get started. However, flashing will void you warranty with Cingular, if you have any of course.

Another way to use your own ringtones without having to remove Cingular's fw, and without voiding the warranty, is to just use SE DRM and modify the files. Or you can use a music editor on your PC and cut the desired MP3 down to 30 seconds or less to the section you want to use as a ringtone.

Below is a link to a thread that talks about the same issue. It's about Rogers, but still applies to your situation.

I suggest to flash it to generic version, but as the last poster says, it will void at&t warranty, but SE warranty is still intact, just make sure you know what you're doing
another profit of flashing: if you have some special language requirement other than Spanish or French, you can flash it to you like
 
ok i did the se dsm thing but all i find in the output folder is a foward-locked file and the disc to phone program doesnt seem to pick it up.

any suggestions?
 
As previous poster said the best thing is to flash with unbranded firmware.
If anytime need to return the phone to provider flash back the branded firmware and voila
