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
------------------------
Whenever i try to open any ".mid", ".amr", ".3gp" or ".mp4" file, Windows media player open and displays error msg
"No Combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"
'.mp3' and '.wmv' files play well in Windows media player
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.

Every time i send a text message i get a bell and a box come up telling me my remaining credit. This is all very well but i cannot silence this bell. Even if i turn all the volume sliders onto silent and uncheck the play sounds boxes in the sounds settings.
anyone help me get rid of this ?
thanks.

proud new owner of o2 xda mini s
anyone help with this ? i thought i must be able to just delete the wav it uses (notify.wav) but its in the rom and doesnt go.
It's really annoying that even with the vol sliders all the way down and the sound unchecked this sound STILL plays
anyone help ? please !!
I had the same problem with the message sent sound, it really got on my nerves! Just create a silent wav sound in Nero wave editor or a similar application and then transfer it to your wizard's windows directory to overwrite the existing one. sorted!
tried that, i created another notify.wav but cos the original is in rom it wont let me overwrite
ok following a recommendation to use total commander to do the copying, i did, and it worked.
Not sure how, as the original file is a read only file in ROM but nevertheless it worked. Windows explorer using the pc to browse/copy whilst synced wouldnt do it.
Cheers,
malty
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 ?
Hi. I've been searching threads for the past two days trying to find the answer because I was sure that this has been asked before, but I couldnt find any threads dealing with it.
SO
My question is: Is there any way to set a custom SMS ringtone on my WM6.1 device that will stop playing when I read the text message? I am able to set the ringtone, but it plays through the whole song, even after the message is closed. Does anybody know what to do?
NOTE:
I am using an XV6800 (VERIZON)
ROM VERSION: 3.57.605.1 (MR1 UPDATE)
I don't know of a way to make the full song stop, but you can make the song shorter. Download Audacity on your PC http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and us it to cut the song down to the desired length. It's a good audio editing program and it's free.
Use Myxer. Download your song from your comp, make it as short/
long as you want and then send it to your phone. This is the link https://www.myxer.com
Assign custom message tone in WM6
Windows mobile is infuriating in just this way; that simple-to-do tasks are made a nightmare, if possible at all. As it is WM6 comes with no way to just select your sound file and set it as your message tone, however it is possible to do what you're after.
copy/send the sound to your device, you can put it anywhere.
open File Manager
Find your file and use menu > edit > copy
go to My Device > Application Data > Sounds. Paste your sound here.
It will now show up on the sounds list. Hope this helps
Works!! Thank you!!
My X2 won't ring for some reasons, when I try to play the ringtone on the setting it says that file is invalid. So I couldn't tell whether someone called or text me.
Can anyone help?
BTW I tried soft reset but still

How about selecting a DIFFERENT file then?

Tried every single file, they are all turned out as invalid file, no matter mp3 or mp4
The best I can do is set as vibration only so if i leave phone outside my pocket i won't get any call or massages.
Have you tried to copy a different tone to your ringtones and use that one?
It is possible that the invalid file is actually missing? Somehow got deleted?
Try refreshing your media list under media player and see if the ring tones are still there.
Can you use active sync to locate the "invalid file" ring tones? If so can you copy them to your computer and play the file?
I am also frustrated with this phone.
As a matter of fact i now have a discolored spot in the middle of the phone, only visible with white screen shots, but is now there when is was not there before.

Hello!
Try with a .wma-file instead of .mp3. If that works I may be able to help you (registry setting).

Try every file that this phone could play and still doesn't work.
Can you please tell me how to change register? and which register?
Hi!
Check the following registry entries:
"HKCR/.mp3->Default" = "wmafile".
"HKCR/.mp3->Content Type" = "audio/mp3"
"HKCR/.mp3->PerceivedType" = "audio"
If not create/modify.
Good luck!
Hi,
Does anybody know an easy way to set a ringtone repeat?
I have this "Digital Phone" ringtone, which is short and it rings only once when incoming call. Is there an option to repeat it (it is a basic setting on all Nokia phones to repeat a ringtone, I don't get why Android made it so difficult)?
This may seem redundant, and I haven't had a look at anything. But it might be worth just opening up an audio editor and copying and pasting a couple of times.
Editing the ringtone is obviously a solution, but I wouldn't like to do the same every time I want to change the ringtone, so I was thinking about a ROM based solution, or maybe even an app that does it...
Hello there.. not sure if this is going to work but i found a value in the build.prop
Code:
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false
maybe changing that to true can help
