Hi all, I've searched the forum but can't find a solution to this. I changed my ringtone, like other people have, butrandomly it is being changed back to the default setting which was some Mozart tune. I didn't install and other software except SPB today screen/weather etc. The ringtone I want is a wav file. Any ideas please?
Also can I unlock the rom and delete the default tones that came with the hone to free some space?
Many thanks.

Hi Guys,
I am unable to change the righttone. Start->Settings->Personal->Telephone is not able to play even any other rightone except "windows standsard" and if I select anything else and click OK then it changes back to windows standard
Please help.
do u have any other ringtones in the rings folder? or do u store ur ringtones in the storage card?
unable to change ringtone
I have the same problem but other phone...
I have also other ringtones on rings folder also in windows but always it comes back to the default one...I tried also several softwares to manage ringtones and although it looked it gonna work it did not
Any suggestion? Maybe something is wrong in registry.?
I found right value already in other thread...
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 ?
I've been poking around on my G4 Wizard with WM6 flashed and I'm not able to figure out how to use an mp3 as one of the alarm sounds.
Has anyone else figured this out or have a link to someplace that has? I've found nothing on the 'net so far.
Dave
Nevermind. Found the answer. Search FTW!
I've always found that the speed you find an answer to your question is directly related to how soon you start a new forum thread asking.
Dave
can you post the answer here for the rest of us...thanks.

Ringtone manager is included in a few of the ROMs, including Faria's The Real Thing. It automatically finds all mp3s on your phone or storage card and includes them in the list of possible ringtones to choose from
For alarms or for ringtones?
I can use mp3 ONLY for ringtones
Is there a registry edit you can do to enable MP3's for Alarms as well?
Ringtone Manager
Where can I download it?
This is the one?

I still can't change the tones for my alarm using this. Am I missing something here?
Hi everyone,
I got an old HTC MDA recently so I am new to this whole pocketpc world. I LOVE IT already by the way!
I have just installed a dialer skin I found on the web called "The Equinoxe Wizard reTouched" or something.
It looks great and works great, however it has messed up my phone a bit. First of all, the roaming icon showed up after install but I was able to hide it in the registry. Then I noticed the ringtones cannot be changed or played anymore. I use to load up mp3/midi ringtones and now all I get is the annoying roaming ringtone. My audio ones just play silence with NO vibration even if enabled.
I tried uninstalling the skin but it doens't fully uninstall and messes up.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I want to avoid upgrading the rom if possible.
plzz help. I'm hoping just a registry tweak is required or something.
thankss
I just realized it only affects MID files. Mp3 files still work. I'm hoping there is just a MID file support fix.
ringtone problem
Hi crazycage,
I had a similar problem on my wizard. After installing a profiling software I wasn't able to change the ringtone and exit the dialog. I searched different forums and found a solution (at least for my problem). I downloaded a software called "Tuatara WM5 Ringing Delay Patch". After installaing I was able to change the ringtones and save my changes. I tried to uninstall the SW again and the fault appeared again. So installed again: Everything was fine.
So if you want to give it a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109.

Disable or delete the files from the /programs and /startup directory. that should remove the program from loading.
Or do a hard rest.
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.
somebody please help

somebody please help

Hi Kaplesh Patil,
1. Did you install any new softwares in your device after which this issue came.
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.
