Windows Phone Custom Ringtones
Custom Ringtones will be made available in the WP7 Mango update (Windows Phone 7.5) but what if you wanted to set your favorite song as ringtone before that? There is a way to do that. In fact, I posted about getting custom ringtones on your WP7 phone way back in December last year. Now, there is a much more polished way of getting it done – RingRing7.
Forced NoDo Update
Here is how to force NoDo update if you still have not received it from your carrier / OEM.
Start the Zune PC Client software
1 Make sure you remove your screen lock password from the phone at least for this update process.
2 Turn off the WiFi on your phone in Settings->Wifi and data in Settings->Cellular->Data Connection
3 Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
4 In Zune PC Client go to Settings-> Phone -> Update
5 When you click to check for updates right away (less than 3 seconds) turn off your laptops WiFi or Lan connection
6 Zune will take a few minutes to continue to look for updates even though the internet connection isn’t there at which point it will pop up a message that there is an Available Update for your phone.
7 Re-Connect the PC to the internet by enabling WIFI or LAN connection
8 Click Update to update your phone.
Believe me, this procedure works.
