Storage memory full due to "music" and "pictu

Hello everybody,
My Qtek 9000 was working without any problem, until recently, it is creating a "Music" folder and a "Pictures" folder (in the root folder, where there is also "windows, temp, program files, etc...) even though i delete it all the time.
The creation of those 2 folders (with lots of files inside) are giving me then the alert : "storage memory is critically low. If you do not increase storage memory, you may not be able to start some programs. Use File Explorer to delete files you no longer need, or move some files o a storage card."
I guess activesync is creating the folders again ang again, but i only synchronize Contacts, Calendar and Favorites... NO media player !!
So i am really wondering why and how does it create those 2 folders all the time ??
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Mike

Force Windows Media Library to start at Storage Card?

I've got a 1 GB miniSD in my new 8125. Whenever I open Windows Media it defaults to "My Documents" instead of the storage card. All my music files are on the storage card.
I can't see anywhere to change this behavior so it defaults to the storage card instead. Does anyone have any insight into this?

after some time, windows media player seems to remember your last choice...although not always, I don't know on what it depends to remember the last used storage place....Probably you will be able to find some registry key which keeps the last used path...
CIAO!
VOODOOS!L

You should have a file called wmpinfo.xml on your storage card and also in device memory. If you delete the one in device memory then only the storage card will appear as an option in the media library.

I just fired up Total Commander and did a search for all files starting w/ wmp and then for all .xml files, didn't find a single instance of the files with either search. Any ideas?

It'll return everytime you update library unless you remove all audio and video files from the device memory. Mine had 3 sample sounds and a video file on it so deleted them so they wouldnt activate the other library on update.

Okay, just found the file. On the Cingular 8125 the file you want to get rid of is called XMEMediaLibrary.mlb
It's located in \Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player
Delete all the sound and video files in device memory, rename or delete the XMEMediaLibrary file and you're good to go.
Thanks for the pointers on this guys.

mp3 for ringtone

is there a way or a program to play mp3 for ringtones but without copying the file to th file windows/rings?cheers

Ringo Mobile is one of them...

Mring is recomended. It's more reliable than Ringo.

thank you very much

you can just copy it in the documents
Why not just copy the files in the /my documents folder instead?

it also works if you put the file in /storage card/my documents/

yep, i find the above post to be the best, easiest and cheapest! solution. store ringtones in the root folder on your card

Custom Ringtone

I have a HTC Hermes with Schaps 4.22 Rom,
I want to know if it is possible to set a ringtone from ym memory card as the standard ringtone?

I use audio manager to select as ringtone the mp3 file I want, I believe, however, it copies it to the phone though.. There is a cab file that enables you to select from the memory card. Here is link : http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=63
Cheers...
Thanks to Mort for this awesome cab.......

Or, you can just copy the .mp3 to your phone or SD card, then with File Explorer, navigate to the file, hold the stylus on it until the menu comes up and hit "Set as Ringtone" Thats what I always do. Then under Settings-Sounds-Notifications, it should show up and be selectable as a ringtone...
But, yes, it will copy the ringtone to your phones internal memory, so I am not sure if there is a way to run it off the memory card directly....

hi mates
you can create a folder in the sd card with the name ´my documents´
inside create a folder with the same name of the ringtones
with this you can use probally all of your music as ringtones and save more storage in the internal memory.
hope i help anyone...

Ringtones ! ....

I've been searching around and have round a few Ringtone directories in the G3. However:
1. I am not having much success when I copy over a .mr4 (ringtone) file, as when I pull up a contact, to connect my ringtone to it, they do not show in the list, even after a reboot. But I am able to use mp3's from the music directory, also
2. when I pull up the contact, to edit/change the ringtone, G3 will bring up the 'stock' directory for LG ringtones (where the heck is that located as I can't find that particular directory), and if I choose the + sign to select my own ringtone,
3. it will only take me to the music directory, so I can not navigate to find my uploaded ringtones...
Any help is appreciated.

Default is system/media/audio. In there are 4 more folders, ringtones, alarms, notifications & ui.
Also in the root of internal sdcard there are the same 4 named folders where new ringtones, alarms, ui and notification sounds can be copied to.

Thanks. Any idea on why when I try and select a custom ringtone, the only directory which comes up is the music director (which is on my SC card)?
I can not find a way to 'search' or go to a different directory.

All the ringtones I've copied to the "Ringtones" directory on the internal SD card show up when I try to change a contact's ringtone. Are you sure an .m4r file is compatible? That's Apple's format for the iPhone. Try copying an mp3 file to that directory, and see if it shows up.
Here's a program which claims to convert m3r files to mp3 files: http://www.zamzar.com/convert/m4r-to-mp3/

You may easily create a folder named "Ringtones" in the internal flash, not microSD card, and copy all your custom ringtones there. The reason is if you eject your microSD card all your custom ringtones will be set back to default since folder of microSD will not be available
I don't know the .M4R thing but all phones can see .m4a format music and may use them as a ringtones

Internal flash and internal SD are the same thing.
