Can you provide a VB example to open a test.ott and test.otb file and convert it to HEX format?

Hi.

I've put a simple utility program on our web site that can convert a small file into a hex string format. You can download it at this link http://www.nowsms.com/download/FILE2HEX.ZIP.

Hi,

File2Hex is a rather simple utility ... it won't work much magic ... but I'll explain what it can do.

When you send out a binary message in NowSMS, you need to include the binary data as a text string of hex characters.

If you have a file that contains the data in binary format, file2hex converts the data in the file to a hex string.

In this particular example, the user had a utility that could create files in the Nokia OTA Bitmap format, but they were binary files that needed to be converted into a hex string. Unfortunately, I don't know what utility the user was using to create the original OTA bitmap files.

How can i convert a gif, wma, midi file into otb or ott format

A good site for converting GIF/JPEG/BMP to WBMP or OTA Bitmap format is:

http://www.teraflops.com/wbmp

However, converting WMA (or MP3) to a Nokia ring tone is a pretty tall order. That is because WMA or MP3 is basically a format for recorded audio. MIDI and ring tones are synthesized output ... they are essentially a string of musical notes (think of it as being like sheet music). To convert recorded audio into sheet music programmatically would be a lot of work.

Here's a good link that explains the issue:

http://mp3.about.com/library/weekly/aa111102MP3toMIDI.htm

That said, I did find one program in a web search that claimed to be able to do this, but I'd be suspicious of the quality against most recorded music:

http://www.allformp3.com/mp3_other/mtm.htm

For MIDI to Nokia ring tone format, you might want to try some tools listed here:

Good luck.

If you do find a solution that works well, I'd be curious to hear your feedback on it here.
