I have problem with changing ring tones about calls, sms etc ... very very strange ! I open dialg window, change ring tone from the list, but it cannot be played or assigned. All my rings are stored at device memory. Any ideas ?
HINT: I REALIZED THAT PROBLEM IS COME FROM .MP3 FILE ASSOCIATION. IT MUST BE WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, NOT OTHER PLAYER - IN MY CASE GSPLAYER. JUST UNCHECK MP3 FILE ASSOC IN THAT PLAYER. TRY IN EXPLORER TO OPEN FILE. IF IT OPENS IN WMP EVERYTHING MUST BE OK.

I put my .mp3 ringtone at /Windows/Rings and set my ringtone to that MP3.
It should work, right?
:shock: But it always kick back to boring Windows Default !!!
I have to set it back everytime.
Any idea? :roll:
i m not that sure but i guess it can only use WMA or WAV ringtones
Try to transform your .mp3 into .wma (same quality / size)
try to make short ringtones, no more than 20sec.

jarmsk, I got my K-Jam the other day and placed some MP3 files into the rings folder to use as ringtones. Utilising MS Outlook, I have assigned MP3 tones to different people with no difficulty at all. Are you using Outlook or another PIM (such as Pocket Informant).
Sorry that I can not offer any advice on how to get it working on your device but I just wanted to let you know that it is possible and that it does work.
The ringtones that I assigned to each person in my contact, are working correctly.
The only problem is the ringtone that I assigned as the default ringtone.
I tried change convert from mp3 to wma but it always kick back to the original default ringtone.
I didn't use any other PIM just the one from the factory.
Any idea guys?

You got eg. pocket music installed?
Some programs is associate the MP3 as their default.
That can be the problem, just try to uncheck Mp3 in that kind of software..
notem screwed my mp3 ringtones up. uninstalled it but still windows default so converted them to wma and work fine now. had to reassign tone for each contact again.
is there a registry hack to revert things back?
mp3 ringtones for wizard
You can use it, no problem, I've tried my old magician mp3.cab file, it is working with wizard. Find it here, somewhere on magician forum.
Yes but why do we have to store our files in the Rings folder??
Any way to use the SD card? I have fifty or so ringtones, they take too much space if I place them all in the Rings Folder.
If you use the original explorer you can assign mp3 as your ringtone
just browse with the original explorer on your wizard to the mp3 file ...anywhere it doesnt mather
tap and hold on on the mp3 file.....in the drop down menu there is a selection for "set as ringtone"...when you select this, the file will be copied to the rings folder in windows. it also works for me by just copying them to the rings folder

that's exactly a problem. in my case i have gsplayer associated with mp3 files so mp3's as ringtones never work (only windows default ringtone). when i uncheck mp3 association in gsplayer, mp3 ringtones are working fine... now i'm converting ringtones into wma format as a workaround of this problem.
How can i set an Mp3 or wav as ringtone alert?
Thanks
I want to now that too? i have tried set the tones in my device/windows where all the alert/notification are but not working?? why is that? you dont see the tone in the list att all when you set a notification tone. I have tried mp3 wav wma tones.
what I did (and which is working) : I have 2 sounds that I wanted to use (1 for sms alert and another one as ringtone for my phone). the ringtone, I converted it to mp3 (mono, 96kbps) and put it in the windows\rings folder. for the sms alert, I left it as wav and put it in windows folder (mp3 wasn't recognized). in that way, they both appear at the right place in sound/notifications.
Ok, so you must convert the sounds? if you want to use them as notification tone. Thanx! gamin, I try that!
You can use ether MP3 or WAV as a ringtone, but only WAV for SMS.
SMS tones need to be in the windows folder.
If you want to use an MP3 as a ringtone all you have to do is hold the stylus on the MP3 to get the menu up and select "set as ringtone".
I know this works in WM6 but not sure about WM5.
does it exists a software to manage rings (for all alerts)?
Thanks
Hi all,
I tried using Ringo so I could get different ring tones for different callers - of course, it didnt work as 90% of the time it loaded the default!
so I removed Ringo and now my O2 will not play an mp3 from file explorer or total commander
and will not recognise an mp3 ring tone at all even as the default now
its like Ringo is still associated with mp3's and since there is no ringo - the files arent recognised
the actual error message is "there is no application associated with ..."
I love my old mini and unfortuantely only have an old old backup - that will teach me - any help or suggestions would be much appreciated
it runs windows mobile 2003!
no progress
found the program - my extensions - and set up mp3's to run from windows media and now they play from file explorer
but still have the problem that no mp3 will run as a ring tone - i copied a file into /windows/rings - it appears on my list of tones to select in sound settings but when i press preview it is silent and then returns to windows default
any help at all would be much appreciated!!!!
search for mp3 ringtone patch for wm2003se
that should do it
doesnt work but thanks
i have the patch - when i go to file explorer and right click to set as ring tone - it doesnt do anything - doesnt change the ring tone in sounds settings and doesnt even add it to the list to choose - its as though i didnt do anything
thanks for the suggestion though!
HI friends,
I have a problem in my HTC Touch Diamond. After installing Nitrogen Player, I am not able to set MP3 as my ringtone. Please tell me how to enable MP3 as a ringtone. Mobile accepts only "wav" & default tones provided by HTC as ringtones. I uninstalled nitrogen & then tried, but no result. I even installed latest Nitrogen player, but i can't find way to set MP3 as my ringtone.
Please help me.
Thanks.
You have to put the mp3 you want in \My ringtones, otherwise it wont pop up in the list if you go to Settings\Telephone.
I tried
All my ringtones are in ringtone folder, i can set mp3 as a ringtone but it cant play it. when a incoming call comes, it rings any random file other than mp3.
Hello there!
Does anyone know how to change the New SMS notification sound for a custom MP3, WAV, WMA one??
Changing the ringer sound is super easy (You just copy the new ringer to the My Ringtones folder and then choose it in the Settings > Sound and Notifications window. But when You choose the New SMS from the menu, the new MP3s, WMAs and WAVs from the My Ringtones folder are not there. They are only available for the Incoming Call setting...
Can anyone help me and tell me how to change the SMS sound for a custom one?
EDIT: Problem solved. You need to copy the sound in WMA or MP3 format into the Windows folder on Your device. Works for me.
just windows root, c:\windows\ ?
Yes. The main Windows folder on Your device. Works perfectly for me.
