Hi,
I just installed the mp3 path on my xdaII and used the new popup menu to set it as a ringtone. However, it doesn't work: the old ringtone is still selected.
What am I doing wrong?

I put my .mp3 ringtone at /Windows/Rings and set my ringtone to that MP3.
It should work, right?
:shock: But it always kick back to boring Windows Default !!!
I have to set it back everytime.
Any idea? :roll:
i m not that sure but i guess it can only use WMA or WAV ringtones
Try to transform your .mp3 into .wma (same quality / size)
try to make short ringtones, no more than 20sec.

jarmsk, I got my K-Jam the other day and placed some MP3 files into the rings folder to use as ringtones. Utilising MS Outlook, I have assigned MP3 tones to different people with no difficulty at all. Are you using Outlook or another PIM (such as Pocket Informant).
Sorry that I can not offer any advice on how to get it working on your device but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible and that it does work.
The ringtones that I assigned to each person in my contact, are working correctly.
The only problem is the ringtone that I assigned as the default ringtone.
I tried change convert from mp3 to wma but it always kick back to the original default ringtone.
I didn't use any other PIM just the one from the factory.
Any idea guys?

You got eg. pocket music installed?
Some programs is associate the MP3 as their default.
That can be the problem, just try to uncheck Mp3 in that kind of software..
notem screwed my mp3 ringtones up. uninstalled it but still windows default so converted them to wma and work fine now. had to reassign tone for each contact again.
is there a registry hack to revert things back?
mp3 ringtones for wizard
You can use it, no problem, I've tried my old magician mp3.cab file, it is working with wizard. Find it here, somewhere on magician forum.
Yes but why do we have to store our files in the Rings folder??
Any way to use the SD card? I have fifty or so ringtones, they take too much space if I place them all in the Rings Folder.
If you use the original explorer you can assign mp3 as your ringtone
just browse with the original explorer on your wizard to the mp3 file ...anywhere it doesnt mather
tap and hold on on the mp3 file.....in the drop down menu there is a selection for "set as ringtone"...when you select this, the file will be copied to the rings folder in windows. it also works for me by just copying them to the rings folder

that's exactly a problem. in my case i have gsplayer associated with mp3 files so mp3's as ringtones never work (only windows default ringtone). when i uncheck mp3 association in gsplayer, mp3 ringtones are working fine... now i'm converting ringtones into wma format as a workaround of this problem.
Hi all,
I tried using Ringo so I could get different ring tones for different callers - of course, it didnt work as 90% of the time it loaded the default!
so I removed Ringo and now my O2 will not play an mp3 from file explorer or total commander
and will not recognise an mp3 ring tone at all even as the default now
its like Ringo is still associated with mp3's and since there is no ringo - the files arent recognised
the actual error message is "there is no application associated with ..."
I love my old mini and unfortuantely only have an old old backup - that will teach me - any help or suggestions would be much appreciated
it runs windows mobile 2003!
no progress
found the program - my extensions - and set up mp3's to run from windows media and now they play from file explorer
but still have the problem that no mp3 will run as a ring tone - i copied a file into /windows/rings - it appears on my list of tones to select in sound settings but when i press preview it is silent and then returns to windows default
any help at all would be much appreciated!!!!
search for mp3 ringtone patch for wm2003se
that should do it
doesnt work but thanks
i have the patch - when i go to file explorer and right click to set as ring tone - it doesnt do anything - doesnt change the ring tone in sounds settings and doesnt even add it to the list to choose - its as though i didnt do anything
thanks for the suggestion though!
I have problem with changing ring tones about calls, sms etc ... very very strange ! I open dialg window, change ring tone from the list, but it cannot be played or assigned. All my rings are stored at device memory. Any ideas ?
HINT: I REALIZED THAT PROBLEM IS COME FROM .MP3 FILE ASSOCIATION. IT MUST BE WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, NOT OTHER PLAYER - IN MY CASE GSPLAYER. JUST UNCHECK MP3 FILE ASSOC IN THAT PLAYER. TRY IN EXPLORER TO OPEN FILE. IF IT OPENS IN WMP EVERYTHING MUST BE OK.

Hello there!
Does anyone know how to change the New SMS notification sound for a custom MP3, WAV, WMA one??
Changing the ringer sound is super easy (You just copy the new ringer to the My Ringtones folder and then choose it in the Settings > Sound and Notifications window. But when You choose the New SMS from the menu, the new MP3s, WMAs and WAVs from the My Ringtones folder are not there. They are only available for the Incoming Call setting...
Can anyone help me and tell me how to change the SMS sound for a custom one?
EDIT: Problem solved. You need to copy the sound in WMA or MP3 format into the Windows folder on Your device. Works for me.
just windows root, c:\windows\ ?
Yes. The main Windows folder on Your device. Works perfectly for me.
how do i change message ringtone to mp3? someone help me plssssssss!
hey
just put the .mp3 in the documents folder on your phone
you should have a My Documents\My Ringtones (preferred) or there is a Windows\Rings, either one will do.
then go to settings, sounds, notifications tab, from Event: drop down select Phone: Incoming call.

the Q is for atext message not an incoming call..
So this won't help.
As far as i now, you cannot use an mp3 for this.
change it into a WAV frmat and it will work.
it might be possible you need to put it in a special location (such as the windows folder or the my documents folder)
Yeah it's possible,
either do as gazzacbr said, but choose "Messaging: New text message" you can change almost all the phones sounds here...
I preffer this easier way (for me)
Slide to settings > Press Sounds > Scroll to bottom for "Notification Sounds" > Press the notification you want to change and select it off the list
If the mp3 isnt listed then use the FileManager, find your mp3 and hold down on it, when the menu appears scroll down to "Set as Ringtone" which actually just puts it in on the list of selectable tones. Then simply repeat the steps above.
- I should probably note, I downloaded an update off HTC's website that had something to do with MP3 ringtones but I could initially do this beforehand anyway.

I can't find it... can you please put it here?
He said he wants a mp3 to be used as a new text message tone. this is something even i wanted to ask, but well it cant be done. tried everything. the patch is for something else. tried putting it into my ring tones folder, tried putting the mp3 (a 26sec file) into windows ring folder but na nothing, restarted still nothing. the only thing i think will work is to try converting it into .wav format.
@rvrosa its there in touch2 support.
it can be done. i currently use a MP3 file as my SMS alert, and a different MP3 as my email alert.
If my previous technique doesnt work, copy the desired MP3 to the root of your microSD card. It will automatically list it in the selectable ringtones
under mobile device go into the folder that says application data then the folder that says sounds, put the mp3 in there and you should be able to select it for your sms.
