randomly my ringtones will stop working. i dont have the volume on mute. i have to either go into the sounds menu and select a different ringtone and then go back to the one i was using or do a soft reset. its kind of annoying to do so. i just got my wing yesterday and ive had this happen to me twice now. has anyone experience this problem? also i was wondering if there is a way to stop the SMS/MMS ringtone from playing the whole ringtone even if i dismiss the message? i know i can just make the ringtone shorter but if there is a way to stop the ringtone, id much rather do that. thanks in advance.
I have this same problem with my t-mobile wing when I use an mp3 for sms tones, after a few messages it goes silent, I tried placing mp3 in windows folder but eventually it still goes silent, hopefully someone has a fix
yes exactly. only when I use a mp3 is when this problem occurs. hopefully there is a tweak or something to fix this
anyone have a solution?
i have the same problem and i've been having to do soft resets...pain in the butt
has anyone came up with an answer to this problem? i lived with it when i first got my wing, but now it has caused me to miss a few important text messages and what not from my girlfriend and other people.
I placed my .mp3 file in the windows folder and hit refresh then closed file explorer and assigned that .mp3 to my messages. It worked for a while but eventually it still goes silent so this is just a longer temporary fix. I'm still looking for a permanent fix

mine is saved to the phone. its the only way the ringtone will show up in the ringtones list for me to choose it.
It Think That It Might Be A Reg Tweak For This Ill Do Some Looking Around After I Get Outta Work
Same here...
I have the same problem as well. I've searched for registry fixes but I've found none. I've converted all of my sms rings from .mp3 to .wav and i haven't had a problem since. But .wav takes up a lot more space. Is this a problem with any other roms or just the t-mobile stock rom.
oh i didnt think about changing them to wav. ill try that.
what did you use to convert to .wav?

THANKS ALOT MASTER.
IT WORKS VERY WELL.
Not working for me. Installed, no error messages, but I still can't use mp3's as ringtone. Actually in file manager mp3's are not associated with any programs. Could someone give any help?
you dont need anything to set a .mp3 as a ringtone, just place the mp3 file in the rings folder under windows and go to the tone selection screen and it will be there.
PLACE MP3 FILE IN FOLLOWING FOLDER
\\My Device\Windows\Rings
then do this
Start>Settings>Sounds & Notifications>Notifications(on bottom)
Then Event:.. scroll down to Phone: Incoming Call then tap the drop down box by ring tone and it will be there.
There should deffinately be a FAQ sticky for this kinda stuff

So it can't be done without placing the mp3 in the ringtones directory? In deed it's not working for me that way either. I can see the mp3 on the list, but after choosing and pressing an OK, it sets itself back to windows default. Actually I can't use anything else than windows default. I'm really getting mad, plz help! Where is the file associations menu? Maybe there's some problem there. This thing is messed up since I've installed and uninstalled winamp...
Work great on wm2005 1.60b
Man i dont know is if its the program or the windows itself..but under the settings of notifications all my mp3 is listed ..which i never knew!...this is GREAT!

It would appear that by default mp3 ringtones are allowed, however once you install a third party app to play mp3's (you mention winamp) you lose the ability to use them(it seems that the Media player engine is used for this).Uninstalling the app makes no difference, you then have no mp3 player because the mobile version of windows does not restore the file association. The best way round this that I have found is to simply use an audio app (Nero wave editor in my case) to convert/edit the mp3s to wma. This has the bonus that most mp3 tracks are too long for a ringtone (how many phones ring for 3-4 minutes without kicking in the answering service ?) so when you convert you can also reduce the length.
I cant comment on the set ringtone cab posted here, never tried it, it may work
HTH
I am able to install the cab file without any error message but still can't use mp3's as ringtone. The mp3 file appears in the Sound and Notification drop down list, but whenever I select the mp3 file and try to play, it doesn't play and return back to Windows Default ringtone. Can anyone tell me that what is the problem?

The same problem I have. Also I don't think so that the easiest way to solve it is to convert each of my mp3's to wma or whatever. Somehow there should be a way to restore the file associations. Maybe if someone would have a media player to install (re-install) that could solve it. The problem is that I've also lost my former ringtones.
Have a look at this thread here. Ive just downloaded the files but not tried em yet. Seems to be able to restore file associations so that WMP becomes your default player. This should then allow you to use mp3's as ringtones

GO TO START/SETTING/PERSONAL/PHONE (AND SELECT YOUR MP3 FROM THERE).
CHEERS,
YAARUB
So the file associations are normal again, thx to your help. But how can I set an mp3 as ringtone which is stored on the sd card other than copying it to the ringtones folder as it takes far too much space from the main memory? The settings-ringtones does not find the mp3 files either on the sd or in the system memory, only wavs and mids.
@Szilu
I'm afraid there is no other choise but to copy the mp3 ringtone to the main memory.
Im sorry
That's a pity. Anyway can you suggest any programs then to cut mp3's to smaller pieces? As 4 minutes is far too much thus the size can be shrinked. THX for your kind help.
Try "Sound Forge", But im not sure if it support mp3 files or .waqv only, their you can cut the file to small pieces.
good luck.
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!
i need a blank mp3 file to set as my default ringer and cant find one. can neone help me out

I'm guessing it's so he can receive calls silently but still be able to use the device for playing game or watching a film etc. Nothing worse than concentrating on something on the device (game, film) and being startled by the ringtone you use because you've got the system volume somewhere near max!
i need the blank mp3 file so that i can set it as my default ringer so i dont hear calls from people i dont wanna talk to.. i plan on setting custom ringers for the people i do normally talk to.. everyone else can go to voicemail for all i care.. i need a .mp3 .wma or .wav blank file
go to notepad....file >save as...(all file types)....*.mp3
doesnt work.. errors out
k i made a wma if neone wants it :x
also here is the .wav file
Why not edit the ringer profile, I can't remember the reg keys off hand, something like this:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=208366&view=findpost&p=593269
Alternatively - load sndrec32 on your pc, record for a second and save as format mp3.

This is fun, but i found it in Windows directory already exited...

Just so I don't mess up and end up with files all over the place would that be;
Explorer>Windows>Rings ?
I know it sounds simple but I can mess up even the easiest jobs on these things!
Matt
You can put them in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'
Then you don't have to worry about the space
I cna't tell you how much that has been annoying me and yet the answer when it came was so simple... a bit like me!
Matt
PS And it works with my ringtone as well... thus freeing up the space on my device memory! You know, I sometimes wonder how I get through the day without hurting myself!!!
I place the files in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'rings or music
so I don't waste space and it's all well set!!
I have two problems with this:
1. Storing ringtones on the Internal Storage makes them show up in the Music tab! No thanks I don't want to listen to ringtones when playing my music, is there a way to stop this other than keeping them on My Device memory?
2. The topic is actually regarding message tones and not just ringtones and I cannot see any of my files to select for a meesage tone. They are MP3 files which work fine for ringtones.
Does this phone not allow MP3s to be used for messages?

1. Don't use the TF3D music player!!
2. I have no problems with mp3 message sounds... and I have them in 'Internal Storage/my Documents'
I quite like the TF3D player actually and I'd rather use the built in one than go to run another app especially as I use a stereo BT headset and press play on that which automatically starts the TF3D player.
I've put loads of MP3 files in Internal Storage\My Documents\MyRingtones and while they all appear ok for actual ringtones I can't see a single one for use as a message tone, only the default files are there.
Is there a size, bpm, frequency limit or anything?
Anyone else managed to use MP3s for message tones?

In order to use mp3 ring tones for mssg tone u need to put them in the root directory of internal Storage it works fer me like a charm....
Cheers
cut and paste the file in windows then u can go back to ur sound settings
Thanks for the replies putting it in the root has worked though it's a little untidy. I've also found that My Device\Application Data\Sounds is a working location. I thought I'd already tried that but obviously not
While we're on the ringtone topic, has anyone found a way to store mp3 ringtones on Internal storage and NOT have them show in the TF3D Music Library?
I'm wondering whether removing the ID tags from them would work though unfortunately I don't have anything to do that with where I am at the moment, I'll try tonight.
Just to update to this, removing MP3 tags doesn't work and the file alone is still recognised and included in the TF3D player.
Are there any locations on internal storage which WILL show up for selection as ringtones but NOT in the music player?
MP3 ringtone
you can place a mp3 file anywhere on your phone and then tap and hold and set as a ringtone. i belive this does automaticly move it to the phones memory tho as well as being on the extra storage.
hey anyone knows how to download mp3s from your phone
ps: i dont no if this is the good place to ask this im srry if it isnt im new thats y

Assigning vibration to a specific contacts text messages and calls
Hi, sorry if this does not belong here, I think it is at least related . Does anyone know if there is an option (can not find it in the settings of the touch diamond) or tweak which would assign vibration to a specific incoming text message? Meaning: when I turn down the ring tone not to be disturbed acousticly, I want the phone vibrate only when one specific contact calls or sends text message. Thanks to all for any ideas
Hi all
Please after am used my X10 for one month i found tow things:
1-sometime when i am connect my X10 to computer via USB cable my X10 restart instantly, am try to disable the debugging mode but the same thing continue, that's' normal?i need to do some thing before I connect my X10 2 computer?
2-am try to put my own mp3 as sms tone ,but when i receive sms i see the sms tone it's work but between the (1st n 2nd)sec. the sms tone like repeated unmorally but when i used built-in sms tone (default sms come with x10) it is work perfectly, so i don't have solution for this problem
My way to set sms ( create folder SD root\media\notifications)
Please if someone have a good experiences i hope to get the answer
regards
1. I have heard other users having that issue, but it's not normal. I'm not sure what the issue is, hopefully someone else can help.
2. How are you trying to put the MP3 as your ringtone? I would recommend getting an app from the Android market called "Ringdroid", I have not had any issues with it.
okay getting ringtones and sms tones is EASY, if you got a PC.
Get your song, rename it as midi.
so song.mp3 to song.midi
then put that in the media ringtones, alarms, etc folder.
Reason why I do it as a midi is so that it would not get played by Mediascape.
