Hi there,
I am having a ringtone issue.
Issue:
1. Unable to set any MP3 files as ringtones.
2. The option which i had last time (when you hold down an MP3 and one of the drop down options was "Set as Ringtone" is gone missing).
3. I have tried with the MP3 tone set to Windows\Rings\ as well but same issue.
4. The ringtones are visible in the list but when i select them and perform a test play - no sound.
5. I am able to play the default sounds by Dopod.
Kindy appericiate your advice before I have to try a Hard Reset
anyone can help?
Still having the same issue...

Hi, all!
I got this problem: my MDA compact does not play neither mp3 no wma as a ringtone.
I changed a ROM to last i-Mate ROM, but problem persists.
Anyone got an idea?
ehmmm do it manually
what u have to do is, transfer the mp3 file from your computer to you MDA storage card. Then copy the file by tap and holding the file then click on copy... Then you go to Program -> File explorer -> windows -> ringtone and then paste it there...Now you have it ready for your ringtone file... Tell me if it works
Nothing works
Well, I put an mp3 file into \windows\rings\ and I can see it in Settings - Sounds and notifications and I can select it as a ringtone but when I press OK selected mp3 resets to windows default ringtone. The same situation with wma even with preinstalled wma such as Roaring guitar.
i get the same problem
seems like I catch a tail of the problem
On a clear device after hard reset everything is OK, ergo, the problem is in an installed software.
only software installed is SPB POcket Plus, GPRS Monitor, handyswitcher. resco explorer
Find it!

Have you iMusic (aka withMP3) player installed? In my case this software prevents MDA from playing mp3 as a ring
nope not installed
I have the same problem, with me it occured after changing the ringtone dir to the SD card, as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15902. After that, my ringtone keeps getting reset in the tools/options menu of the phone app, although I changed the registry key back to Windows/Rings. And that is strange, since the WIndows Default tone is not even in that folder, but in the WIndows dir! soft reset did also not work, and even altering the registry to make the default ringtone another one just resulted in no ringtone at all when a call is incoming! Any suggestions anyone?
OK, I may have a solution to your problem. After I f**ked up my register ( see my post above), I had the same problem. I fixed my register first, and then did the following:
-go to the ringtone you want ( in any location, be it your storage card, Windows folder or anywhere else) with File Explorer,
-just tap and hold the ringtone and from the pop-up menu select: "set as ringtone".
The file is then copied to the Windows/Rings folder, becomes visible in the list of ringtones you can choose and is automatically installed as your default ringtone. With me it worked, hope it does the same for you. Good luck!
I have been experimenting one this and basically from what I understand, you have to do the following:
If you want the thing to work as a default ring tone, I mean for any calls:
1) Copy the MP3 to Windows\Ring
2) Make sure the default application playing MP3 is working. Thus, if yo are using PocketMusic, make sure that when you click an MP3 file, PocketMusic will launch automatically. Otherwise, select Windows Media Player.
If you want ring tones for your homies:
1) Go to Photo Contacts.
2) Tap and Hold for your buddy and assign an MP3 ringtone.
I've encountered the same problem as antifa. When I try to choose an MP3 (saved in the Windows/Rings folder), it defaults back to Windows Default when I press the OK button to confirm the new ringtone selection.
It looks like the problem is related to file associations. After un-installing a particular software I lost the MP3 file association in such a way that tapping on an MP3 file from file explorer does not load media player.
I have now fixed the file association problem (using a 3rd party app) but the ringotone problem is still there!!
Any ideas please?
i have put up a small midi ringtone file (originally a Nokia ringtone) onto my JasJar, same ringtone i've used on my PDA2k for a year..
problem is that after sometime, probably a couple calls, the ringtone seems to get reset back to the annoying "Windows Default" ringtone for no apparent reason, and i end going back to the sound & notification settings 2-3 times a day to set it back to my ringtone :\
i did a hard reset, skipped extended rom for trials and ran it for a day, same problem!
after searching for so long i figured this might be something i have to live with..
so i reset my device, installed all my apps and tuned them to my liking..
only to find out that with SPB Pocket Plus, the ringtone sometimes stops playing completely.
for instance, i can see it selected in the sound and notifications, but clicking play on it produces no sound!
the default ringtones on the other hand play just fine...
the only workaround is to softreset the device.
i finally removed SPB pocket plus... and the old problem is back.. Windows Default ringtone keeps getting set as my ring
any tips.. please i'm so frustrated at this point :\
did you put the file in windows\rings ?
i think on storage card it might be a problem.
tried having the ringtone both on /windows/rings and on the SD card, no difference..
Try some other file format other than your MIDI, May be MP3
Look here, maybe this can help you:

I checked the above thread, and I did indeed have a different entry under the 'saved' registry entry. CHanged it and keen to see if this solved things.
OK, I have some progress on this.
When ur phone changes (ie goes wrong), go to phone/options and try playing any of the ringtones. Most fail with something like "file is possibly corrupt". Now, the ones that fail are WMA files, and the ones that work are WAV. That's why the phone is reverting; it's failing to play WMA's and is defaulting to a working ringtone (which is a good strategy - I guess...).
This aligns with other threads on mp3 ringtones; if you lose the WMPlayer assocition with mp3's, they then fail as ringtones. So, it seems that the Uni is losing it's WMA association - until u reboot. Now we know this it feels solvable:
- We need to know why WMA's are losing association
- Else we need to convert our ringtones to WAV's.
That's y for all other notifications also wav is the only option for us.
thanks for this theory... i still have this problem despite changing the registry...i will try having wav as ringtone.. thanks!
First: I hate how wm2003SE plays ringtones :evil:
I did bigstorage trick, tested all the testable and got ringtones work (mp3 in storage card) :roll: BUT, I was in searching of some software that can assign mp3 even for sms: tried the one provided by ringo, but as expected I had no luck
Then, I managed to install pocket bluetooth tools: great bt app, played with it a bit, but uninstalled it because the audio system thought that a bt headset was linked (and consequently, when I received calls the bt turned on itself)
Then the problems began to come: the default ringtone kept playing even if a picosecond before I changed the ringtone to something else :? after heavy registry tweaking (all related to ringtones, default ringtone changed) I get a wav file to being executed in the storage card as ringtone, and can change it in the phone settings applet.
BUT: I can select every wav files to play, even if it's on a storage card; I can select wma files to play as ringtone ONLY if they are in the \windows folder; I can see all the mp3 in the storage card, but I can't reproduce these in the applet - if I tap the ok button, the applet won't exit because it need a playable ringtone (I think so)
Tried to set mp3 with the excellent wma profiler, playable but not as ringtone; with mortring, when someone calls me I get an error bip sound (with the vibration :wink: ) I don't want do make hard resets or so, not now that my baby is just fine
Sh*t of a bugfilled ring manager :x
Any help appreciated, MocciJ

Hi All,
Had a ringtone on my phone since i had it. its an mp3.
At the weekend i did a hard reset and have copied the file back again but now i cant set it as ringtone, its in the list but when i select and press ok it just goes back to windows default and not back to the settings menu, if you press ok on windows default it works.
Any ideas on this, i did do a search but they were mainly peeps putting mp3 in for first time. i know this mp3 works as ive used it before.
Any Ideas, mp3 is deffo associated with WMP but i do have tcpmp and mortplayer installed. Could these be causing problems?
Any help would be great, thanks.
Hi all
Problem, all ringtones and sounds do not play, even music in the music player does not play ?.
I posted a solution for this problem a while back for somebody else, that worked for me and them, but now it wont.
The solution was to use memmaid to transfer storage of the sound files from main memory to storage card and then back, and it solved the problem.
But its happened again, all my ringtones music and sounds just will not play, but i get the volume up and down sound?
Also selecting any ringtone from the menu just results in the phone displaying none.
The sounds are there,m just like the music is on the card, so whats the issue with this dog**** phone, still running stock rom.
Me too. Any clues? Can't change ringtone - looks like a hard reset looming? Sounds and notifications won't hold my choice...just defaults back to some default 'ring tone 1' nonsense
Any ideas at all? Thanks in advance.
