im trying to make a song to play as a ringtone but i don't know how....
this is my first actual pocket pc and im still learning on the functions
and things i can acomplish with.
so can anyone help??
you want a song as a ringtone you need a ringtone maker software i do the same thing i made over 20 ringtones all ready... if you got the program thats a start all u need to do is slide it into a folder you name as Ringtones thats how i put it in my Storage Card just send me a P/M and i'll try and help you out the best i can iight..
If you need help cutting a song up, you can email it to me and tell from which xx:xx to xx:xx you want as a ring tone and I can send it back....
there's plenty of free audio editing programs out there that are easy to use...
I already have the part which i want to Use for the ring tone
but the thing is i dont know how to put it so it can play the part of the song
when i get a phone call.
all i need is someway to turn it into a ring tone
oh and by the way this is my firs ppc as i said earlier and well i still got alot to
learn from this little beast of mine i call a Wing
by the way what program can i use??
Ring tone
Well if you using a Wing all you have to do is put the file in the My RingTones folder
WOW!
why didnt that ever hit my mind
haha
i actually never thought about that =/
hahhaha
xD
thanks bigdee and everyone else for trying to help
If you want it to play a specific part of the song, you need to chop it up with an audio editor.... plus its pointless to have a 3-5 megabyte song taking up all that space when all you need a 30 sec clip which is usually under a MB
tru i got from 15 sec to 33 sec ringtones in order her the sizes 78.6, 78.6, 117, 135, 175, 179, 184, 269, 339, 340, 341, 628 and they all in KB but i got them in a My Ringtone folder in my Storage Card and yea there is alot of free program to make ringtones

I usually don't reccommend putting anything (programs or files) on the storage card that the phone may require while its hibernating....
I don't know if the problem has been possibly fixed, but in the past Ive run into the problem where a call will come in, but the phone doesn't ring, it only vibrates because I guess the SD driver didn't load fast enough or something... so I usually put all ringtones on the main memory.
Plus, I'm really paranoid about SD corruption... hence why i dont put anything on the SD that the phone would need .... so nothing is on there that I would need without my actually physically running it

Hi all, HELP!!!
I have just spent 4 weeks setting up my phone, i have everything just as i want it.
But i noticed today when i received some txt messages it was silent, now when i select any sound for anything, ie events or ringtones its just silent, i hear nothing???.
If i move the volume slider i here the ping sound of the volume changing, so there is sound.
Now, if i go to the all settings menu, and try to assign a sound in the windows menu, when i click on a sound it shuffles through the entire list and stops back where it was in a second, almost like it cant find the sounds or something weird is going on???
Now this happened once before, and i restored using a SPB backup, but this time i have overwritten my backup with this before i realized what had happened.
Whats going on??????
Update, when i select a ringtone from the menu, and select it, when i go back on the menu it says ringtone "none"
???
I'm also having a similar issue with my HD2 (using 1.61 WWE rom).
The phone rings when I receive an incoming call but not when I get a txt. I can select a tone in Settings - Sound & Display - Notification Sounds and it will play the demo. My settings are saved but it just doesn't make a noise when I get a txt.
Any clues, anyone?
No this is different, i have no sounds at all, no ringtones, nothing, its as if they are just not there, the sounds are still in the windows DIR, but something looks different on the DOR layout, im sure the sounds were stored somewhere else too.
If i have to reformat my phone because of this im gonna freak damit, as this is not the first time.
Can anybody upload an image of the root DIR layout, or let me know of the sounds are stored anywhere else but the WIN DIR?
PS Where you get the 1.61 WWE rom?
I found a fix, use mem maid to transfer temp files to the storage card, including sounds, when you rebbot, it reverts to main memory but your sounds work again

Please tell me how to fix this! What do i do once I install MemMaid?

/edit: you are my HERO!! Thanks, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NP I found it by mistake.
Havent been on android in a long while... and cant remember the process.
BUT how do you change your ringtones to using MP3s. I remember that you are suppose to put it in a certain folder, but which one and where in the directory.
Thanks
they go in:
/sdcard/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/audio/notifications
/sdcard/audio/alarms

the problem is ... theres no sdcard/// well i mean audio subfolder
Yes, there is. The storage partition is mounted as /sdcard. Just create the audio subfolder and throw your mp3s in there.

thanks... I thought I had to put it in the directory with all the original ringtones.
There's a little trick if you use winamp:
when playing the ringtone, set it as ringtone:

Odd ringtone behavior
I've noticed an issue with my custom ringtones: the phone's ringtone resets to a default tone by itself.
I have a few mp3 ringtones and notification tones stored in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones (and notifications). I will select the ringtone I want in settings, but after a while the phone reverts back to a default ringtone. When I go back to check my settings, none of the custom ringtones are listed. It's as if the phone doesn't see them on the internal SD card.
Most times, a reboot will clear it up; however, there doesn't seem to be any indication as to why my custom ringtone settings are lost.
I'm sure the mp3 files are OK, as I've used them before on a variety of android phones.
Has anyone else experienced this type of behavior? Any ideas what might cause this issue?
Thanks,

Do you keep your contacts on the phone, the sim, or synced with Google? That might provide a clue.
I have had this happen before. Usually as a result of unmounting the internal storage. Easiest fix (doesn't take that long) if your rooted is to just adb push them to the rom. You can do it on a stock rooted rom, then do a titanium backup and in the future it will push them to whatever rom your on. But no, to answer your question, I'm not sure what causes it but it's easier to just push them once and forget about them since they take up so little space.
Everything is synched with Google.
I'll try the root and push to rom solution.
Thanks

i have the same problem, and everything's synced to Google as well. Every time I mound my SD and unmount it the ringtones get mixed up or reset.
Looks as if the internal sdcard is unmounting automatically. When I lose my ringtones, looks as if I can't launch any apps I've moved over the sdcard. Strange.
Ringtone problem...Changes?
I don't know if i'm just drinking too much or if it's doing it on it's own but does anyone notice that the ringtone changes to a different one every day? I Use my own MP3 and they are no longer than 30 seconds but every day, it will set itself to a different tone....hmmm
I have noticed that I also notice that my SMS tones also change and this has to do if and when I actually connect to the USB and mount the USB.
Same here.
There seems to be a slew of issues with this phone, of which the list seems to grow by the day. It's a huge deterrent.
Is it my imagination, or are there more issues with this release than a typical phone release? It really supports what I believe was a rushed product by Google/Sammy.
i love the phone no doubt but the ringtone thing bugs me a lot. i can never tell when my phone is ringing. i been using the same tone forever.....30 days to return it if purchased at full price....thinking thinking thinking.
I have the same issue. Well issues being reported. I like the phone, for this being my first dive into Android but damn. I think this might be more of a FAIL then the N1.
I'm really thinking of returning it to Best Buy. But what phone to get? Stock Android is awesome and with fast updates it is a toss up.
Anyone else having the issue with wanting to ditch it but yet what other phone on the market will be stock android?
Well at least we all have a few more weeks to think about it.
heard someone say that the 2.3.1 update fixes it
[Q] ringtone folder?
where do i put ringtones on the nexus S? i made a folder under media so its like media>audio>ringtone but for somereason it did not recognize it. where do i put ringtones, notifications, alarms?
before reading further, try this first. it resolved mine:
"Go to Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng, delete "AudioManager_Eng.vol and make a soft reset."
[orginal post]
I'm out of ideas.
I have a kingston 8gb micro sd "HC 4" card in my hd2
(rom 1.66.404.1 (76641) NLD).
the little wheel in the upper left corner of the music player tab keeps turning and nothing plays.
I've tried formatting my memcard, I've tried reducing the number of songs in the music folder.
I tried putting only around 20 songs in the main music folder (thinking putting the music in folder within another folder may cause the prob) but to no use.
and yes I did use the "music stability hotAIR"
complete waste of time. didnt help a thing.
Nitrogen plays my mp3s with no probs. I'm trying to get the native music player working coz I can't control nitro with my wireless headphones. controlling the volume works but not skipping beween songs.
is anybody else experiencing this? any suggestions?
I have the same problem. I get an error msg, something about AudioManager_eng i believe. please can someone help.
Go to Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng, delete "AudioManager_Eng.vol and make a soft reset.

hmh... sounds like quite a drastic measure. isnt it a good idea to cut and move it to a different location temporarliy?
in any case thats what i'll be doing and i suggest to others the same.
thanx for taking the time fighter!
You don't have to backup file. System will create a new one, after deleting.
HOLY COWS!! two months of searching, dozens of correspondence with HTCs (extreme slo-mo tec support), after banging my head against the walls and biting on my hd2, fighter comes along and says "naahh, do this, it will work" AND IT DOES!!
god danm, if i knew i'd travel to Greece to get this solution.
thanx very very much FIGHTER! how many times can I click on the thanx button?... oh, uh.. it's gone
Hi,
Sometimes there are ringtones I set, sometimes they change to default ones (quite quiet, then I usually can't hear the phone ringing), then there are again my set ringtones.
Any tip or anyone has the same problem of ringtones changing themselves?
PLK
Is this happening when you have your phone plugged in or something?
Describe it better, please.
no rules. Just changes during the day when I walk with a phone. Sometimes it rings with my set ringtones, sometimes with default.
I had that with my LG Optimus but I've not had the X8 long enough to find out if it does the same yet. I think it's an Android thing, not a phone thing though.

Thanks Troute,
It could be Android. So I wonder if anyone else has the same with 2.1.

Maybe it's because of file of your ringtone.
Try to set low bitrate,short, mp3 sound as your ringtone and look if problem will remain or not.
If your ringtones are saved on your sdcard there may be disconection between phone and card, so android loads default ringtones.
Thanks all, I will try your suggestions and return back

Hello,
perhaps default ringtone could be change thruw build.prop (for ROOT)
ro.config.alarm_alert=Alarm_Classic.ogg ?
I have similar problem with custom ringtones assigned to specific contact.
Sometimes it works but sometimes i hear my custom ringtone assigned to all incoming calls.
I tried lower bitrate, change filetype to OGG and move ringtones to internal memory - it helped a bit but the problem persists - sometimes custom contact ringtones simply doesnt load.
Nothing helps - problem persists. I suppose it is a firmware (Android) problem with x8
And did you try pasting your ringtones directly into the phone memory not the card?
this thread i guess should be on the cyanogen developer thread, but i'm a noob & can't bost there.
there's a few similar threads for different phones & different OS'es including windows mobile, but not for the aria. closest to what i'm seeing is this htc diamond thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461809&page=2
alas, the phone will ring (&vibrate) for a brief second on the 1st incoming call after a reboot. thereafter, it does not ring at all. i was on cyanogen 6 when i noticed this, and upgraded to 7rc thinking that the system wipe / os-change would cure the ailment. it didn't.
originally i noticed this when playing with custom ringtones, but at least once custom tones were tried, no ring even with the htc/cyanogen ringtones.
at the tail of the thread i quoted someone says:
"copy ringtone to music in phone memory..and one thing only the cut edited mp3 can play.. i think.. mine now ok.."
but that's a bit vague. music? means the directory that has your mp3's? really, the phone memory? or the sdCard? besides this sounds like a workaround - all the tones that show up on the selection screen should work.
who's seeing this? anyone found a cure?

firstly, no, this doesn't belong in the developer section. you put it in the right section.
secondly, have you tried copying your ringtones to your internal memory (i.e. NOT sdcard)?
thirdly, can you play music? is it possible that it's a hardware issue (i.e. speaker)?
zervic - thanks for picking up this thread.
1stly - ok, great.
2ndly - what's the path in the internal memory for ringtones? the pre-built ones i assume are there and the symptoms are the same, so not sure if this will help.
3rdly - yes, music plays fine, or the ringtones play fine if i'm on the ringtone selector screen.

not sure of the path off the top of my head, you'll need root explorer to be able to see anything "outside" of your sdcard. check the root of your sd card for a media folder or something like that...that's kind of odd that music would play fine but not your ringtone when you're getting a call.
i do hv root explorer, but so far have not found the ringtone path - i looked around a bit there.
also, the status bar is flashing a muted speaker icon when the line stops ringing, though not during when it should be ringing.
i suspect that some setting is awry. could be one of the apps that manipulates the ringing, or remnants thereof. but i did already try to remove all 'of them while trouble-shooting this.
just to wrap up this thread: i went to the nightly builds, version 12 now, i think. yes, wiping all the data/caches.
instead of restoring my titanium backups in one go like i did going to RC1, i'm now doing it one by one.
so far the phone is still ringing. i guess we'll never know what caused it not to in the first place.
