I have created a WAV sound for new Email and stored it in the Windows directory. That's the only way I could see it in the list of sounds. I selected it and it works well. The only thing is when mail is pushed into my TYTN the sound starts but breaks after 1-2 seconds. Only when I turn the TYTN screen on the sounds continues.
have you tried a wma soundfile? i noticed on mine about 50% of all the sounds in the windows folder are wma. worth a try?
I will try it, thanks.

all notifications seem fine except the one for starting active sync. I've got this cool wav that says "connection complete" but it doesn't work when i put the xda in the cradle.
any idea anyone?? the default one works ok
Where did you get the wav (sorry I cant answer your question, but the wav sounds cool)?
Be sure to test the wav by just tapping it from the file-explorer. Some formats wavefiles don't work on the MDA/XDA !
Well thing is I set it as the sound for active sync:end sync and when i remove the phone from the cradle it plays the sound fine!
it just won't work for the Active Sync: Begin sync sound
well strange!
That's wierd...
I have the same problem... The preview play button plays the sound back ok so i only assume it's ok
The same sound sample works fine for disconnection too. Some horrible bug here methinks..
Hi guys...
i've been experiencing a few software problems on the phone. can you check this out for me...
I have all my sounds set to different ring tones.. ie. phone ring is dog bark. reminder is alarm 3. new message is something else..etc.
Everything remains fine... until a reminder goes off for an appointment
Whenever i make an appointmentwith a reminder and it then goes off, it plays the pre-installed default sound instead of the one i've chosen. What it also does...is it then resets ALL of my sound settings including my phone ring, my new SMS sent, my wake up alarms to the original default sounds. WTF?
After 7 hours of trying different things..I've narrowed it down to the reminders. so.. no reminders = i keep my sound settings...and i can't stand the preset bank of sounds the TYTN came with. grr.
Can you verify that for me please? is it a software bug? I'm in montreal this week getting married (YAY) and so i'm going to be away from my machine and cant afford to do a hard reset and lose all my contacts).
Thanks In Advance
Cheers.

PS.
Also, anyway to set all sounds to go to the storage/my documents/my music folder instead of the internal windows "ring" folder? i'd love to know how to edit this in the registry (i'm sure it can be done), and use this folder for all my reminder/alarm/msg/ring sounds...Its just I have no experience in hacking the registry or know where to begin looking.
thanks
Hi,
I have a problem with my HTC P4350, if i receive a call i cant hear the ringtone, he's vibrating non-stopp..
It was so in WM5 also in WM6
the installed programs is TOMTOM and Chi-Tai Dang Batterystatus TD-Plugin.
Can annybody help me with my problem ?
could have something to do with your calendar appointments. i cant remember where the setting is, but there is one that automatically turns the phone to vibe whenever you have an appointment. Although using the volume bars on the side should overide it.
Do you have your ringtones stored on your storage card?
I have a T-mobile Wing (P4350) and from reading in these forums, it seems to be an HTC bug affecting various phones, where it seems the phone sometimes loses the storage card (which it seems is a problem which also leads to corrupted cards) ... anways, if your phone rings and the phone "can't find" the ringtone file, it simply just vibrates with no sound. This is the same type of issue, that happens when you have programs installed on your storage card that error when the phone is turned on, and the storage card driver hasn't loaded yet.
I suggest placing the ringtones you use on the device memory .. and that may solve your problem... that way the ringtones are there and the device doesn't have to look for them when it rings.
I also had a problem, where I was using SPB mobile shell/phone suite and there is an icon on the today screen, which sets up ringing profiles .. and sometimes, due to a bug or something, the settings on my phone would be changed. Try going into your sounds and notifications and seeing if for some reason it's set to no sound, but vibrate only or something like that.
My uncle has the same phone, but he had no problem with the ringtone.. and i use the standart ringtone in the HTC
and he vibrate non-stop thats not normal..
If i do the hard reset, he is normal.. after a time prevent the same problem..
Similar Problem
I have lost the abilaty to use MP3 Ringtones. The stock tones work just fine but I can't use my own MP3 ringtones. I had them Installed Storage Card/My Documents/My Ringtones. This was working fine then they just stopped working. I moved them to
My Devise/Windows/Rings. This still did not help. I can see the Ringtones when I edit contacts and I can choose the tones but they do not do the standard "Test Play" like the stock ones do. Any insight would be great.
how can I set a custom ringtone for when i receive a text or email?
i dont like the OEM sounds and want to set my own
thanks!

this. Don't put it in the Windows/ring folder. Drop the ringtone in the windows folder itself. That's what I had to do. Hope that helps.
I also suspect the my documents folder works too.
Saving music files to SD Card/My Documents worked for me.. All work as a rigntone.. For text message I believe the songs have to be over a certain file size, i had some 15-30 secons text message ringtones on my previous phone and these arent picked up on the HTC HD2 if i want them as text message ringer.. The complete songs work fine..
Does anyone know how to stop a text message ringtone without opening the text message?? I have a 2 minute song as as txt ringtone and it wont stop playing unless i actually open the messaging folder to see the text.. Also, if i get a txt the song will start playing, and if i get another txt 5 seconds later, the same song will play again overlapping previous txt ringtone.. thus both songs play at same time until i open message..
Any help is appreciated..
Any help??

There is no way to Stop the sound with out opening the ringtone, The best advice I can give is to make the ringtone shorter. Normaly around 3 sec or so
Thanks for the advice.. However, I added some 10-15 second mp3 songs i had.. And the phone doesnt detect them in order to use them as sms ringers. Seems to be that the file has to be over a certain size.. Anyone else has this issue?
Another observation was that if you fo to Setting> All Setting> Sound & Notifications.. Notifications tab, Select Incoming Message, and select Display Message on Screen.. Then the ringtone no matter how long it is, it will only sound for 3-5 seconds and stop...
After the last official update something weird started happening to my phone. After random periods of time (1 - 5 days) all my ringtones and notifications sounds for all the applications seem to change by themselves.
Gmail will have no sound selected, Gtalk will pick one random MP3 file from my music folder, alarms will get the "Beep" sound, SMS/reminders will get a different (default?) sound, contacts that had custom ringtones will get the default ringtone, and the default ringtone for all contacts is changed too.
It's a little annoying, I can set everything back the way it was quite fast, but something else happens: for a few contacts only (random each time) I cannot change the ringtone anymore. The default one is set, I choose another one, but the new ringtone isn't applied. The only way to change the ringtone is to erase the contact and create it again (or sync from outlook to have it back).
Anyone else got this problem? I guess a hard reset will solve it, but I'm too lazy to install everything again etc.
I still have this problem. From time to time, all my notification shouds (alarm, message, ringtone, custom ringtones, everything) will change to random mp3s from my alarm/notification/ringtone or music folder.
It's not related to USB cable / SD mass storage mounting, I rarely use that. It usually happens in the background while I'm not even using the phone. Suddenly, it will e.g. start playing a whole mp3 track from may music folder when I receive an email.
Anyone else getting this stupid issue? I found a lot of people complaining in other threads and other forums, but no solution. I hate having to set my custom tones again and again...
HTC Desire HD too
My HTC Desire HD is also playing random mp3s with notifications. Not mail, that remains the same. But calendar and SMS all play mp3s. I can't seem to fix it. The notification settings still say it's meant to be playing a standard ringtone, but nope, mp3 it is.
Anyone figured out a fix?
I don't know if it helps, but I renamed my "Music" folder (that's where I had all .mp3 files that would randomly become ringtones) to something else and also removed the HTC Music widget from homescreen. Sometimes the ringtones will revert to HTC default and stay that way after I connect to USB mass storage / disconnect, but a phone reset will solve that.
