Try some software that overtake the system default alarm handling and see if it works for you
Wav,Mp3 Wma in Alarms
Thanks, but actually i already instaled spb time which is the best for the simple task of alarming me to wake up. I really want to know why this stupid phone doesn't support mp3 and other formats in alarms, the audio codecs are the same to the whole system but why dont they work Rrrrrrr!
Does anyone wakes up with the alarm sound that it makes? or... as my self, wakes up with the vibration of the phone... i really don't get it...
Blame microsoft... just another thing i forgot to mention is that the screen should blink but it doesnt. why? i already hard reseted the phone, changed soft. version 1.11; 1.12.05; 1.12.10 WWW-PTB, nothing it just simply doesnt react. what i really wanted was a reg change to make it work, if the device uses a .dll to control the audio codecs it may be changed by reg and so we people dont have to give away another 10-20 bucks for a thing that should work from the begining. Help?
I'm probably plain stupid cause the alarm files are all wav & I can't think of any reason why the magician wouldn't accept them as an alarm tone. & surprise surprise it does actually work on my magician with 1.13 WWE rom. Tested with an own recording. MP3 didn't work with alarm, but does work on reminders, message reception etc. WMA not tested.
Cheers, M
Put that limitation down as something that would have improved with HTC Prophet
how do use mp3 as tones for messages? i tried moving mp3 to windows directory but i can find it in tones...
Hi nm8,
Does WindowsMediaPlayer play these mp3's? If not you have to get them in a format WMP can recognize, otherwise it won't work.

Hi Guys
For some reason all of a sudden my ring tone changed to windows default tune, when I go to the phone settings and change it to another tone on pressing ok it automatically changes back to windows default
Any Ideas
Thanks
Simon.
did you install Pocketmusic Player or any other 3'rd party music player ?
if you did then remove the associate files with it from options and you should be able to use your ringtones normally again,
windows plays the ringtones via mediaplayer (typical microsoft)
p.s. hi all I'm new here been lurking for a while since I got my tytn (love it) just been too busy to register, love the forums.
I know this is old, but I did a search and just ran into the same problem the OP did.
Just installed GS Player and had it associate all the MP3's, WAVs etc... then I decided I didn't like it, cuz MortPlayer was better, so I uninstalled it and all my assigned ringtones went to the default Windows ringtone.
This site rocks!
Glad we can help ^_^ we do have a nice community here.
thanks guys, it helped!
I have a Dopod D810 (WM5, ROM 1.23.707.6) and I have a strange and annoying problem...
When I set an MP3 or WMA file as a ringtone, it works on the first 1-2 occasions that someone calls then next time I receive a call, it will ring as the Windows default ring. Usually it will ring silently for about 2-3 rings then the Windows default tone kicks in. I go back and check and the MP3/WMA sound file is definitely still there and can definitely be played....
I store my ringtones under \Windows\Rings but have also tried with storing the files under \My Documents\My Tones and even \Application Data\Sounds...
Any ideas?
Or perhaps recommendations for a ringtone manager that can take over from WM's unstable handling of my ringtones...?
Thanks in advance!
This problem usually happens when Media Player is not the default player for MP3 or WMA files. Have you installed a music player recently? If so u need to make sure that Media Player is still the default player for MP3 and WMA, otherwise ringtones won't work properly.
yes, you're right, i installed pocket music and it is now the default player for mp3 files. i'll re-associate windows media player and give it another go...
hrmmm no luck, changed default mp3 player back to windows media player but it still plays the crappy windows default ring. i have no idea...maybe i just have to install WM6 and take my chances!?
are there any ringtone managers that u know if that i can try, perhaps that will stop windows misbehaving!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can try ringo http://ringomo.com/
I store the MP3s to be used as ringtone in the root of the mini SD and I have no problem.
thanks all - am using Ringo and all is well for now!
The same happened to me
The same problem happened to me i know it's due to the new player i installed but i can't get it back to the default option ...any ideas?
I found the solution to this problem
I managed to solve this problem setup the PHM Registry Editor program
download it from this website
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
after installation ...open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (Keys)
Then open the .mp3 then click on values
-open the default string file
-change the value data to mp3file (i found it was avifile so it's obvious that WM can't open it as it's mp3 not avi)
i hope this is useful for u
Thanks thundermind - I'm no longer having this problem after upgrading to WM6 however I have saved your solution for future reference
I have an AT&T 8525 (WM6 standard unmod'd rom) in the US, and have assinged a simple mp3 ringtone (have tried wav, etc, also) for my default ringtone.
I have assigned certain callers to their own mp3 ringtone.
The ringtone does play, but the default ringtone plays for about .5 to 1 second before the other mp3 ringtone plays.
If you look at the caller id on the display, it also says UNKNOWN for .5 to 1 second then switches to the caller name and phone #.
Why does the phone do this? IT makes for an odd sounding ringtone at 1st
with the default tone chiming in for a second.
Ideas?

I too have the same problem with some roms! Now on Shap's 4.0 it work's fine! For now
Same problem with my 8525 with VP3's latest but, it doesn't do it all the time.
i've got the exact same problem. kinda glad to hear it wasnt just me! lol
Just a guess
yeah mine does that too. I would assume it has to do with the time it takes for the phone to get the called ID information. Just like your house phone, caller ID takes just a little bit longer to get than the ring.
Change the ROM and you will not have these problems any more
Or use some programs to free RAM memory, like CeleTask (X-button doesn't free full memory, it only closes active programs!)
As I sad Shap's 4.0 works fine with ringtones, for now!
I did discover one program that was causing a delay, long enough
to let the other ringtone (default) play..
I had latest Resco Audio Recorder automatically recording
incoming phone calls. I turned that feature off, and it still
says unknown VERY briefly but not enough time to
let the default ringtone ring thru now.

I have a HTC 6800 on the Verizon network, with Windows Mobile 6.1. I have several of my own mp3 ringtones which have worked fine for nearly a year now. But I recently downloaded S2V, a media player. I used File Explorer Extension to change the .mp3 association to play in S2V instead of Windows Media Player. But then my mp3's stopped working on anything but S2V. So I set the file association back to WMP, but they still won't play as ringtones, or under the Sounds and Notifications settings either. Any idea how to get them to work again?
You’s needs windows ringtone fix. I don’t remember how this fix name, bat I now that the program “galarm” has this fix include. Jast install this
Had to do this to fix mine...
