Hi Guys
For some reason all of a sudden my ring tone changed to windows default tune, when I go to the phone settings and change it to another tone on pressing ok it automatically changes back to windows default
Any Ideas
Thanks
Simon.
did you install Pocketmusic Player or any other 3'rd party music player ?
if you did then remove the associate files with it from options and you should be able to use your ringtones normally again,
windows plays the ringtones via mediaplayer (typical microsoft)
p.s. hi all I'm new here been lurking for a while since I got my tytn (love it) just been too busy to register, love the forums.
I know this is old, but I did a search and just ran into the same problem the OP did.
Just installed GS Player and had it associate all the MP3's, WAVs etc... then I decided I didn't like it, cuz MortPlayer was better, so I uninstalled it and all my assigned ringtones went to the default Windows ringtone.
This site rocks!
Glad we can help ^_^ we do have a nice community here.
thanks guys, it helped!

Weird, my XDA 2 lost ability to play WMA's as ring tone. Use to fork just fine, I've had Fantasy.wma assign to it. Now I can onlu choose Default.
Any ideas? :roll: :?:
Hey Man! I also have the same Prob.. I can only play the Windows Default ring... it just happened by itself! any Help would be great....
Found it!
It was file association problem. It happened right after I've installed Conduits Pocket Player which plays various formats of audio files, including WMA. But for norma ringer funcionalty WMA format SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIA PLAYER!. I've changed it back to Media player and now ringer works again. I used Resco Expolere to change this association back.
:idea: :idea: :idea:
I am glad someone could figure out the problem, but can anybody tell me where on the internet I can find wma ring tones for my phone.
Appreciate your help

Try some software that overtake the system default alarm handling and see if it works for you
Wav,Mp3 Wma in Alarms
Thanks, but actually i already instaled spb time which is the best for the simple task of alarming me to wake up. I really want to know why this stupid phone doesn't support mp3 and other formats in alarms, the audio codecs are the same to the whole system but why dont they work Rrrrrrr!
Does anyone wakes up with the alarm sound that it makes? or... as my self, wakes up with the vibration of the phone... i really don't get it...
Blame microsoft... just another thing i forgot to mention is that the screen should blink but it doesnt. why? i already hard reseted the phone, changed soft. version 1.11; 1.12.05; 1.12.10 WWW-PTB, nothing it just simply doesnt react. what i really wanted was a reg change to make it work, if the device uses a .dll to control the audio codecs it may be changed by reg and so we people dont have to give away another 10-20 bucks for a thing that should work from the begining. Help?
I'm probably plain stupid cause the alarm files are all wav & I can't think of any reason why the magician wouldn't accept them as an alarm tone. & surprise surprise it does actually work on my magician with 1.13 WWE rom. Tested with an own recording. MP3 didn't work with alarm, but does work on reminders, message reception etc. WMA not tested.
Cheers, M
Put that limitation down as something that would have improved with HTC Prophet
how do use mp3 as tones for messages? i tried moving mp3 to windows directory but i can find it in tones...
Hi nm8,
Does WindowsMediaPlayer play these mp3's? If not you have to get them in a format WMP can recognize, otherwise it won't work.

Hi all,
After installing pocketmusic, i realised that all the mp3s were automatically played through that application rather than windows media player. I also have pocketMax phonealarm installed on my today screen, and have set mp3 ringtones (which used to work!!!).
Since i've installed that stupid pocketmusic, all i hear now is a "beep" and a "vibrate" every 3 seconds instead of my mp3s. I then realised that pocketmusic is at fault and as a result decided to uninstall it. Now, whenever i play mp3s through file explorer, it opens up in wmplayer but gives me an error for some reason (i think this means mp3s don't have a default assigned program to open up in). However, the mp3s can be played when opened from wmplayer.
I've tried everything...using rescoe explorer, i've set wmplayer as default but it gives me the same error.
Please help
Thanks,
Simon

please make your way to the above url, sign up, log in and download the fix and manual that explains the process. I will be applying the fix myself today.
Isnt imusic a killer app?. The sound quality is incredible.
http://imusic.citsoft.net/eng/download.asp
thats the location of the download itself.
And I tried the fix, it works.
umm no...i don't have imusic. This is a very different problem...
oh hey lol, thanks...
All fixed now
I have a Dopod D810 (WM5, ROM 1.23.707.6) and I have a strange and annoying problem...
When I set an MP3 or WMA file as a ringtone, it works on the first 1-2 occasions that someone calls then next time I receive a call, it will ring as the Windows default ring. Usually it will ring silently for about 2-3 rings then the Windows default tone kicks in. I go back and check and the MP3/WMA sound file is definitely still there and can definitely be played....
I store my ringtones under \Windows\Rings but have also tried with storing the files under \My Documents\My Tones and even \Application Data\Sounds...
Any ideas?
Or perhaps recommendations for a ringtone manager that can take over from WM's unstable handling of my ringtones...?
Thanks in advance!
This problem usually happens when Media Player is not the default player for MP3 or WMA files. Have you installed a music player recently? If so u need to make sure that Media Player is still the default player for MP3 and WMA, otherwise ringtones won't work properly.
yes, you're right, i installed pocket music and it is now the default player for mp3 files. i'll re-associate windows media player and give it another go...
hrmmm no luck, changed default mp3 player back to windows media player but it still plays the crappy windows default ring. i have no idea...maybe i just have to install WM6 and take my chances!?
are there any ringtone managers that u know if that i can try, perhaps that will stop windows misbehaving!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can try ringo http://ringomo.com/
I store the MP3s to be used as ringtone in the root of the mini SD and I have no problem.
thanks all - am using Ringo and all is well for now!
The same happened to me
The same problem happened to me i know it's due to the new player i installed but i can't get it back to the default option ...any ideas?
I found the solution to this problem
I managed to solve this problem setup the PHM Registry Editor program
download it from this website
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
after installation ...open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (Keys)
Then open the .mp3 then click on values
-open the default string file
-change the value data to mp3file (i found it was avifile so it's obvious that WM can't open it as it's mp3 not avi)
i hope this is useful for u
Thanks thundermind - I'm no longer having this problem after upgrading to WM6 however I have saved your solution for future reference
hello.
i searched all the net and all the forums looking for an answer to this:
i cannot set an mp3 as a ringtone on my HTC P3600.
i do not have the option in the file explorer "set as ringtone". i copied the rings in the windows\rings directory - didn't work, and in 'my documents' in the phone memory, not on the memory card -didn't work.
i tried with many mp3s, i tried this BEFORE installing any other program.
i get everytime the same error: the ringtone appears in the list from the settings - phone - set ringtone, but i cannot play it with preview and when i select it and click ok, it automatically returns to 'windows default'.
i have windows mobile 5 ver 5.1.465 (build 15673.3.3.1)
PLEASE help me, i am very disappointed, i have bought such a nice and smart pocket pc, and it has problems with some ringtones.. (
do wma ringtones work?
it worked!!!
what do you think is the problem with mp3? i mean, they are associated with ww media player, as set by default...
anyway, big thanks!
not sure ms like to push wma which is their own format
back in the pocketpc2003 days it was not supported at all without
3th party apps
not sure if it work nativly with wm5 and 6 though
Hey guys! Well my opinion is that wm5 doesn't have the corect codecs to play the mp3 that you have made or put in... so try upgrade to wm6 i'm shure it will work... my p3600 does!
