I am experiencing problems with my Mp3 ringtones which have been assigned through photocontacts and are kept on my storage card.
For some reason it keeps defaulting back to the awful default ringtone, it cant be the size of the file because I have cut them down in size.
The thing is if I change it back and test it with a friend ringing me immediately then it works but if you leave it for a while the next time they ring it has defaulted back.
I keeping changing it back and it works for 10 minutes or so then defaults back to the original.
This is really annoying, has anyone else experienced these problems and been able to fix it?
thanks in advance.
i have this problem too.
Xda II Mini.. :?
Put your ringtones in \Storage instead of the card. The SD is too slow to start when the Magician is sleeping and the system can't find your ringtones.
Used to have this problem also. After keeping my tones in \Storage I've never had this problem again. I use WMA tones Stereo encoded at 96kbps.

I had this problem too...even if I have put the ringtones in Storage folder... I have solved the problem with downgrading the ROM from 1.06 to 1.03...but left the radio stack 1.05...now it works fine...the caller ID, but have some issues with answering the phone...

I have the exact same problem with mynew XDA IIi, although it has a standard ringtone assigning feature. None of the solutions seems to work. Any help, I'm really getting very frustrated with this problem!!!!
I have the same problem but with regards to the photo in the caller ID. I resolved this problem by usiung the old version of the Photo Contact Application.

Could you please be more specific wrt: "the Photo Contact Application". Where do I get it from, and how to install it on my XDA IIi?
I too have problem - for some reason the Caller ID app will not function at incoming call after a while. i've tried to determine if there is a specific app I'm using that is conflicting, but so far the results are inconclusive.
What also sucks about Photo Contacts is that there is no way to backup and restore your photo/ringtone assignments - this kind of software limitation is just not allowed in this century!

Hi mates, after doing the BigStorage thingie to my mini, and flashing it to 1.11.00 WWE, I have caller ID issues too!!
sometimes i get my predefined photos, and sometimes i don't!! i even set a default for all incoming calls, and sometimes it doesnt show too..
Then, i found 1.12 Caller ID CAB and installed it. System complained that some files exists and cannot be over-written. I note down the names, delete the existing files manually, and then redo the CAB install, and it doesnt complain. but i still have issues with photos that sometimes doesnt appear.
So, in this case, which version of CallerId should i downgrade to??
does my above method to install 1.12's Caller ID applies when i downgrade the caller-id??
thnx!!
Have u got PocketMusic installed?
I had that problem with PocketMusic , when i've uninstalled it i solved.

no pocket music. what i have for Today plugin is:
1) D25
2) TodayPlus
3) PhoneAlarm
my primary suspect is the BigStorage hack.. and the "new" 1.11.00 WWE ROM.
i need to know which old version of CallerID are you guys talking abt, so i can try and download it and test..
Ringtones
I also have the same problem. Unfortunately, i cannot link it to anything in particular as I have been tweaking mine since 2003SE was made available. I installed originally Sin's Rom and all worked fine, then I found out that the JoJo/Tonenailed release made a comparison between the two and found that they had a newer Caller ID.cab file and installed it.
Dunno if that is the cause, but I need to know what files need to be "renamed"/deleted in order to install back to the original cab file that was provided in Sins version, then I can tell if that is the cause.
Ring tones are also a problem, which I believe is related. However, I cannot change any ring tone at all, they all default to some dodgy one. Even if place .mid files into the ringtones directory, they dont get "recognised". I even open them manually, and say "set as ringtone" (which I think only copies to the existing ringtones directory), however this didnt work either.
So, in summary, if somebody can tell me the files to rename to install Sins caller id.cab file, I will find out if this is the cause or not.
My caller ID version (photo contacts) version is 1.20 (Build 18567)
Do you guys have a method to restore your ringtone/photo assignments after a hard reset or a ROM upgrade?
to swedbass
Yes! Just use photo contacts pro. Simply the best!
I have been using BigStorage hack on my 1.11 ROM and I can confirm that it has nothing to do with this hacked ROM. I experienced this problem previously when I had PocketMusic installed on my Mini. What I did to solve this problem was I unassociated all media files from my PocketMusic and use Resco File Explorer to associate those media files back to Media Player.
I also did a registry hack to point the ring tone folder to my Storage instead of the default Windows/Rings folder.
For your information, I am using Photo Contacts Pro as well.
Based on experience here is what I can contribute:
1) Place the ringtones in a local memory storage, maybe the Storage ROM or in Windows\Rings, avoid the avoid the SD card, it takes up time to initialize.
2) Use the old version of Photo Contacts, I was refered to use 1.20 as it had less issues with GPRS problems as well.
3) If you have third party applications playing MP3s, make sure it is registered. If you are using Pocket Music and you are still trying to use the Bundle which is not registered, the ringtones will stop or not work because the player is not initializing becasue it requires a serial or something.
4) Try to get the file association to WMP to play .wma files.
Hope this helps.

I just wondering if you guys has the similar problems with me or not ....
I've done registry hack for changing the default storage of rings to \storage card\rings, occasionally the ringtones will automatically change back to "windows default". I've check that my O2 mini able to play the selected tones. After a while, when i suspend it or soft reset, it will change back to "windows default".
Does anyone has this problems ? Is this because of my SD card speed ? I got a 256mb Kingston SD which is included from the package.
Your help and comment are appreciated.
Thanks :wink:
Ringtone back to default
If you installed pocket player.. try to uninstall it...
Hi,
You dont need to uninstall pocket player. Just go to pocket player options and remove the file association. This should solve your problem.
Regards,
Vishal
hi... i dont have or ever installed pocket player but hansip's problem is happend to me aswell... anymore idea how to use our own ringtones without have to copy them to the windows folder?? thank you
I had the same problem...
and the solution was not to change the path to \storage card\rings...
instead.. you have to make it \storage\....\Rings and this will certainly work :wink: .....
I believe there is some sort of conflict when you choose Storage Card
I know you won't be able to use all of your music... but at least you'll free up some memory from the RAM..
and if you have the BigStorage trick.. you'll be just Fine..
I have three ring tones in my Rings folder.. and I think that's enough for me.... 8)
cheers
After coming out of suspend mode or after a soft reset, the Magician needs some time to initialize the SD card. Since the programs, including the phone settings, are run before the SD is initialized, the Magician cannot find the ringtone on the SD card and therefore resets it to windows default. It does not matter wether or not you have a fast SD card, it is a flaw in the operating system. That is also the reason why today plug-ins are better run from main mem or internal storage than from SD card. Try putting the ringtone in your internal storage, you'll see the difference.

just hold the stylus on the music file you wish to make as a ringtone, until you get the pop-up menu, then choose Set as Ringtone

Not really. First of all you need a special .cab file for that, which you can find attached at the end of my post.
Second, that just copies the ringtone in Windows/rings, thereby taking up valuable RAM, which he wants to evade.

Thanks for the input guys .... I solved this problem by changing it into \storage\rings instead of put in on \storage card ..... Well I guess, the reasonable explanation for this is because when the phone rings, the device is trying to access the rings into the location that we specified in the registry and i guess the process get too fast .... So the device having a difficulty reading the \storage card ... and that's why it straight goes to "windows default" cause of course that's ring store in internal memory :wink:
By the way I'm just curious what's cab file does Koksie provide us ? Could you please explain more on this cab files ? What it actually does for our Mini ?

I am having this problem after swtching directories too but it is not fixed after changing the registry to /storage/rings, /storage/.../rings or even windows/rings. They all go back to the default ring!!!

The cab file will enable you to set mp3 as ringtone when you hold to the file.

What software do you have eg.. phonealarm, spb, etc, it may cause the error
The .cab I posted enables an extra option in the pop-up menu when you tap-and-hold on a mp3 files. Use the build-in file explorer, go to the folder where your ringtones are stored, tap-and-hold on a ringtone and in the pop-up menu you will see an option "set as ringtone". tap on it and the ringtone will be copied to windows/rings and set as your default ringtone in the phone options. Only drawback: the ringtone will be copied into main mem, taking up a lot of space if you have a full sized mp3. If you shorten it to 10 seconds and decrease th quality, it should take up less space. I have no idea if hacking the registry to make storage/rings the default ringtone location will work with this .cab. Maybe the .cab only looks at the registry for the default location and copy it there, maybe it just always copy the file to windows/rings.
I have all the sbp software- pocket plus, weather, gprs moniter etc.. also all the PHM software- but this wasn't happening when I instaalled that stuff- it happened after I changed the ring directory-
I have tried chaging it to everything- and it still goes to the default ring!!
thanks,
Daniel
Not only that-
The defaultt ringtone seems to play thru the speaker regardless of whether or not the headphones are plugged in- please tell me I don't need to hard reset!!
Having the same problem here. I have changed the ringtone directory to be
"\My Documents\My Music\Poly" (the same registry hack).
Now, whenever I change the default ringtone to something else, it is done. But when an incoming call is received, the old windows default ringtone is assigned as the ringtone.
HEEELP...
I did a hard reset and it fixed the problem of switching back to the default- I recomend tht anyone who tries this registry hack make a register backup to revert to- soething went wrong-
anyway- I am still having the problem of the rington laying out load when I have the headphones plugged in- is this a standard flaw??
I don't remember having this issue when I first got my Magician...is there a setting to change???
Thanks,
Daniel
I'm also experiencing problems with this but was bale to move the things to the Storage. However, during my experimentation in Photo Contacts, when I do a preview, the default ring tone does not play.
not possible!
hi... according to some ppl that replied to my question (exatcly same with this tread), the answer is WE CAN NOT put ringtones files in SDcard and use them from there.. even we edit the registry.. it works when we preview them, yes.,
BUT
during standby mode, and some1 call us, the window cant find the ringtone fast enough (coz they are in SDcard, access is slow!) so they use the default one..
try to edit the registry to /storage (instead of storage card) then it works. but ofcoz, u must copy all ur ringtone to /storage, now u r using xda memori, not sdcard
dont try to buy faster sdcard, i dont think that will work.. the fastest sdcard is still far to slow for xda... but i any1 success, let me know like you, i have hundreds of ringtones and i dont want to put them in storage...
I found another solution for the problem
I haven't tested the suggested solution while i am writing thsi post (too excited)

Selecting Ring Tones from your Storage Card instead of \Windows\Rings\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving Ring tones to your Storage Card.
Ring tones are choosen from \windows\Rings\.
However, you have to copy your ring tone files there and that takes up
valuable RAM Memory.
Wouldnt it be better to choose your ring tones from your Storage Card, better
still you can place hundreds of ring tones on your storage card without taking
any RAM at all.
Here is how you can do it.
You will need a good file explorer software like "Total Commander"
from http://www.ghisler.com/
1. Run Total commander
2. go to \\ (at the very top)
3. open \\\registry\HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring \Directory
4. Change the content of this file from
\Windows\Rings to \Storage Card\Rings\
Note: \Storage Card\Rings\ is the directory I created on my storage Card to store my personal Ring Tones.
To select a new ringtone, Start->Settings->Phone.
The Ring tone are now selected from \Storage Card\Rings\
and Best of all, your ring tones doesnt take up any valuable RAM Space.
I hope this helps
Merry Xmas all,

Is it only me, or does the inbuilt Caller ID app that HTC provides suck rather large rocks?
My ROM is pretty recent (unlocked 1.12 WWE), and the Caller ID says it is version 1.20 (Build 18567), but I have the following problems with it:
- Very slow to load my 200 contacts
- Very difficult to find a contact. Click one of the short-cut letter combinations at the top, and it seems to go to a random contact
- Type in a letter/combination, and it finds that letter/combination in every contact (ie RE gives me fREd), rather than using that as the first two letters in a name
- Overall very slow and sluggish to respond to anything. It would be quicker to call Directory Enquiries and then type the letters in using my toes
- Unless I start it (and its running in the background), I don't get any of the PhotoID on ringing functionality
- Setting the font size of the incoming call has no effect - the name still comes up in microscopically small font.
Any suggestions? Shall I unmap the contacts button and use the default Microsoft contacts manager (without any of the cool pictures/ringtones functionality), or is there an update or an alternative?
Thanks, guys
Alex
I've some issues with it as well.
When I try to change the storage path for photoid files, my CallerID keeps crashing.
Is there a registry location where I can change this? I've tried finding it in the registry but I failed at it
I gave up on the HTC version it really is slow, bug ridden and generally crap.
Try Photo contacts instead, its fast, easy to set-up and doesn't alter contacts when you attach pictures as instead of being attached they are simply referenced by the name you store the contact under.
E.g. If your contact is Joe Bloggs then the contact picture is bloggs,joe and it will display full screen too!!!!!
It's slow and buggy memory hug and has ****ty functionality. Don't install this (ie. by preventing from customization) unless you are planning to use ArcSoft MMS 2.5.
I agree its slow but never found a bug with it (until now with the GPRS problem).
Its the best photo contacts software I have seen for the imate and good for when you're in the car with its full screen id and large display of contacts to dial.
Unless you know of another program which is better?
I did just find this, it's pretty cool, I like the fat-finger only use....

So I thought this was pretty interesting. I installed this software today and overall I really like it until the first time I try to sync and I get the old "Unable to connect..." error message. This is the first time I have gotten this message in over a month since doing the downgrade but it is also the first time since then I have installed a prgram that was some sort of contact/caller ID related software.
I uninstalled this program and it seems the error message has gone away..... wierd
nothing better than this : http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/#photocallerid
Tried every program that is related to photo contact and photo dialing. And I came to one conclusion, they all suck.
There is really no program that doesn't slow your ppc down or give an error of somekind...

1. delete the IA_CID_Startup shortcut file from the \windows\startup directory
2. delete the IA_CID_Startup from the \windows dir.
I think the Caller ID function of this program is decent, but there is no way to backup/restore your photo/ringtone assignments which really sucks. So after every hard reset you have to do it all over again..... :evil:
After I came to this forum and so tired of the htc caller ID I decided to give a try to photo contact as bruxelles5 suggested, and I have to confess that it did impressed me. It was been working perfectly, photos stored in sd card so after hard reset I don't have to set it up again, full screen image and picture arrangement. Very good *****
PS: I got rid of caller ID with anansky method and got 27 mgs store!
Photo Contacts bug?
Does anyone else have a bug in Photo Contacts Pro like me: I have to pick up the phone useing touchsceen button otherwise (with hardware button) both me and caller(!!!) hear nasty "fragmented" end of ringtone wich rings (ca 1 sec) AFTER pressing the button
It doesn't seem to depend on location of ringtones folder (main memory, storage card)...
BTW, all the ringtones are in wma-format. Should I try another format?
Any thoughts?
PS Sorry for my English
SOLVED: Mort, thank you very much for your MortRing!!!
I have this problem as well with the ring tone blasting into the caller's ears when using the hardware button to answer. Do you mind sharing what you did to solve that?

Just try this s/w http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20711&highlight=mortring
I'm happy with MortRing as I don't need Photo ID on my phone but I like to assign individual ringtones very much
It is unbelievable that HTC ships products with this crap. Even a cheap cellphone has better Caller ID functionality. Not only is the program very slow when editing, you can't backup/restore your ringtone/photo assignments. Caller ID doesn't work 50% of the time, and after a lot of troubleshooting, I have not reached a firm conclusion as to why. The only credible explanation I found was in the XDA-developers forum and it simply seems that unless you have plenty of free resourses the program won't work. And still, I have an upgraded Jam (128 MB).
This is very very sad. I miss the solid performance of my iPaq.
Hopefully someone can help me please. When I receive a phonecall, the phone no longer rings. If I put it to vibrate, that works OK. I have gone into the phone settings and played the ringtone so that's OK and the MP3 player functionallity is also working OK. When on a call everything is perfect. Even if I have the earpiece in, it still won't ring but again the earpiece is perfect while on a call. It would appear that something software wise has become screwed but I don't want to have to do a Hard Reset
I also use my PDA for Destinator v6 for GPS and mapping. It happily gives me my vocal directions.
I should also say that this has only just started happening in the last week or two. I did have to re-install my Destinator because it lost it's voice.

Hey Raven2000
Have you fixed the problem yet?
Cormac
I had a similar problem yesterday as well. I couldn't play any of my ringtones other than the windows default. (Try to see if the windows default ringtone works). My problem as far as I was concerned started after I installed xPad 2.1. Even after I deleted the program it would not work. I finally resorted to restoring from a backup which sorted it out. (I must start to schedule using xbackup on a weekly basis) Hope this helps.
I've had this exact same problem with my Magician - I bought mine as a T-Mobile MDA Compact, and am now running the BigStorage ROM. I have tested this in the past - running it as a "clean" system (no other apps at all installed, factory-shipped ROM) and it seems to work fine - but when you start installing software, the ringing function on the phone seems to stop working - and the only ringtone that still works is the annoyingly crappy "Windows Default" piano-tune ringtone. If anyone manages to work out why this is happening and a way to fix it, I would be most grateful! I am still working on a solution myself.
I'm now running ver 1.12 from iMate's website and have the ringing back again. I am tentitive about loading up too many programs so keeping it to a minimum for the moment.
As a matter of interest, did you ever load up an alarm clock program? I have re-installed most of what I had previously so I am wondering about this since it would be one of the only ones which would mess with the sound
C
Correction to my previous post. After installing one program at a time, I found it wasn't xPad but another program called iMusic.
Have You installed a media player?
this happened once to me when installed a media player that got associated with the WAV and MP3 extensions so the default internal player stopped working.
Hope this helps.
As soon as I removed file association for the new program my JAM started ringing again!
So did you have to edit the registry or was there some other way to remove the erronious association ?
Cormac
MP3 File Association
That happened to me too. Are you using MP3 patch so you can use MP3 as a ringtone? If so when you install a program that deals with MP3 it might change MP3 association to that program. Try re-setting MP3 association to File Manager and problem is solved.
I have some mp3 files in my storage card.
I am aware of software line mRing , Ringo etc. but is it possible to use mp3 files as ringtone from Storage card WITHOUT using 3rd party software ?
Any registry settings to change the ringtone folder from main memory to storage card ?
also, whether or not the above is possible, what is the best mp3 ringtone solution WITH software ?
thanks...
Well I just realized something. But is this normal ?
If I put the mp3 files in the root directory or in a 1st level directory, I can see them in Ringo sotware and but I can't see them in default contact ringtone selection.
If I put them in a 2nd level directory I can't see them from Ringo and default ringtone selection screen.
If I put the files in root directory I can see them both in Ringo and default ringtone selection screen.
is this normal ?
If you search the forum, you'd find that you've found the answer to your question. Now if you need an explanation of the solution rather than the solution itself, please contact Microsoft.
hi,
so you mean it's normal behaviour ?
I don't need an explanation of the solution.
what I want is to be sure that I'm not doing something incorrect or I don't miss something.
btw, I had searched the forum before opening this thread. There are so many threads about mp3 ringtones.

Yes, and I'd be cautious anyway. Having ring tones especially anything not in a vanilla wmv or similar format can slow up time it takes for your phone to start ringing. In addition storing the file on storage card makes this delay even worse and finally can cause phone to crash on incoming call. Not saying this will happen to you but if it does you'll know why. Once you have it set up test out delay until first ring and response time from off/sleep.

well, I decided to use "mring" as ringtone manager on my Hermes.
I would just pay for this great application but I found a problem with Hermes.
If I use mring , I can't connect to my GPRS connection after disconnecting.
To re-connect to GPRS I need to reboot the Hermes.
This means I just have "one" time connection to GPRS (for each reboot of the device)
If I uninstall mring, this problem disappears and I can connect to GPRS each time I try.
So ,I think there is a conflict with mring and GPRS connections.
Can anyone confirm this ? Does this work for anyone ?
What else can I use as an alternative to "mring" ?
hey guys, I am really desperatly looking for ringtone managing software.
please advise...
You can also put them in "\storage card\My Documents\" and they'll show up in the default ringtone manager but as mikechannon said, it takes a while for the ringtones to load. Like it'll say incoming call, then ring 2 seconds or so later.
What i do is i put all my ringtones in "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Music\Ringtones\" and then just copy the one i want as a ringtone to "\Windows\Rings\" and when i want to change it, i'll remove the one i have there and replace it with another one i want.
well, that's a nice idea but mring was also adding features as "ringtone to contact/category/know caller/unknown caller" , "sms to contact/category/know caller/unknown caller"
it also has "vip" settings for contacts marked as vip and it has profile support like (discreet/loud/normal...)
I am also looking for such features which the OS itself does not include.
so I am still looking for alternatives to mring.
any idea ?
Hi all,
I am using Elfin for past 4 months.
Earlier i used to put my own ringtones in folder "/Application Data/Sounds" and they worked.
But for past 1 month, no external ringtone put in "/Application Data/Sounds" is working. whenever i set my ringtone through Settings->Phne->Ring tone, it automatically sets it back to Ring-WindowsMobile.
I tried putting ringtones in /windows folder. but still i can only see those in Settings->Phne->Ring tone list and not able to set it.

2. Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties.
3. How do your rip those file. Do you use any specific software to do it.
4. If possible can you attach one of your not working file.
Hi HDR87
1. I keep on installing softwares. so its difficult for me to guess after installing which software this problem has started
2.Did you check your .mp3, .amr, .3gp, .mp4 file extensions and properties
???? what do u mean by check, i mean how to check.
3. i usually rip .mp3 ringtones by SoundForge. but what i am saying is all same files used to work fine before. but now they have stopped working.
4. Even built-in (factory) .mid, .amr and .mp4 also not playing with WMP.
5. to aggravate my problem, now even built in ringtones like Ring-WindowsMobile have also stopped ringing
It sounds to me like you have something you installed that is causing conflict. You will have to try to figure out what it was that you installed- Try by trial and error remove an app you installed see if it works and so on. Start with apps that are related to the devices audio capabilities - I have read about several people having problems with SRS WOW application.
Note that if you installed an app that created a Registry change, it is possible that even uninstalling the app may not change the Registry values back to normal and if this is what has caused the problem than only a hard reset would work (unless you can figure out which Registry values you need to change and what you need to change the values to.
Sorry I can't be of much more help; however, if you figure out that it is a registry value change and you figure out which values need to be changed, just let us know which ones and we will check what our values are set at so you can make the changes manually.
@ hotrod101
I am currently exploring my registry... If i figure out the values to be modified, i will share here, so anybody having similar problem might be able to use it

Dude - you shouldn't be hijacking other peoples threads to ask your question. Use the Q&A Section and start your own thread or even better do some searching. This question has been asked before and even made it into the hall of shame.
To answer your question: If you are going to put a song or a long sound to message tone the whole song or tone will keep playing until it reaches it's end. (it's not like ringer wich is instructed to end as soon as you answer the call. Don't use a long tone or song. If you want to use a song, make sure you edit the song to make it just a short clip of it.
