[SOLVED] .Mp3 as alarm sound - HD2 General

hello wonderful people of the xda community!
im desperately trying to set a mp3 track as my alarm ringtone without any luck sadly. Can someone please help me? Thank you in advance!
Solved by converting the mp3 to a wav file and placing it to the windows folder.

G-Alarm is the best (UI). Now is not free. So you will need to look for old free version

BUMP
Really need to know this. I have been searching, but it seems like there are differences between the WinMo 6.5 builds, and I have tried different things, but none worked for me. pls help ppl!

Thanx for your reply, but i dont need G-Alarm, as I am happy with the built in Alarm function but no .mp3 support???
Can I get this working with the std alarm???

You can use mp3 files for the alarm, but there's a size limit, and I can't remember what it is. I compressed a song down (I think it was about 2MB when I finished) and it then worked, but wouldn't before that.
Just copy it to the Windows folder and it should show up in the list.

Actually, I take it back. I had to convert it to a WAV file before I could use it as an alarm. There definitely was a size restriction too.
If you don't have anything, googling will turn up plenty of freeware apps for converting audio files from type to type.

thank you very much sir. if that works I will be very very happy. there is no problem in converting the mp3s to wav files.

If you use G-Alarm, there is an issue on HD2.
It could be the g-sensor - if you deactivate all settings about the g-sensor, then G-Alarm is running without freezes.

Message sounds?

My first post in this incredible forum, I have all ready found so much help here and are most thankful, please keep it up.
Is it possible to make your own message sounds and use them when recieving text messages etc.
If possible at all what format should the file be in (mp3 wav)?
Tried with an mp3 placed in the windows folder it seems it cant find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not an expert so hopefully one will reply, but I think they have to be .wav and I think they have to go in the \windows\rings folder.
cheers

Actually, you are 1/2 right, they need to be wavs, but they go directly into windows, not in the rings folder.
Steve
Yep steve is correct the sound file will need to be a .wav and place into the windows folder, ring tones can be mid,wav and so on and they are placed into the rings folder within windows.
Sound file converter???
Morning all,
My first posting also and yes this has to be the mecca for knwledge of all Wizard related things. My question:
Does anyone know of any software downloads which can convert .wma, mp3 or similar files into .wav??? I'm a complete novice at this sort of stuff but the array of ringtones and message alert tones is rubbish on my K-jam. Thanks for any replies.
Del.

You might try Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
It's a free download. I use Sound Editor in Roxio's Media Creator 8 -- one of the MANY useful tools in that program.

YW -- (but I'm a GAL -- not a guy)!! LOL!! But, that's ok -- none of my friends can believe how "techy" I am, either. But, I'm the first one they come running to with a problem. Go Figger!!
Cheers all,
You keep refering to ring sounds, I am looking for Sounds for alarms and recieved messages, and alerts in general.
But I will try it now with wav files in stead of mp3.
Manindesert,
I'm using Sound Forge 7, but then again I really need it for all my music stuff, so give Audacity a shot.
Update Works fine with alarm and message sounds, thank you all.
Is there any way, hack or otherwise, that will allow you to point your rings/sounds to your SD card? Thought it would be nice to free some space and stop having to move files on and off the card. I change my ring tone with my mood
Javahater,
I've been loking for a hack/program/setting that will do that, but no luck so far.
Unfortunately, all SMS & ring tones must be located in main memory!
But there's a possibility to create a program that will browse a folder of ring tones on SD card & once u select a tone, it will be copied to main memory (and of course erase the old default tone from main memory) & will set this new file as the default ring tone for the phone.
Javahater and Ezzkht,
Maybe you should look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks scroll down to this "ANY FOLDER RING TONES"
You will need a Registry Editor like Total Commander 2 or PHM Regedit
Hope this helps
Javahater,
Have been trying above solution for about an hour, seems that this solution doesn't work under WM5, or at least it doesn't make any difference if you change the folder or not (it only points to windows not windows\rings)
Will have to keep looking.

AGREED !! I've got WM2003SE tried the steps mentioned http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks no use.......it still picks up the default folder from \windows\rings, where as I am pointing it towards \Storage Card\Sound\ not working
ok just double checked.....in sounds and notifications options it goes to \windows\rings folder.....but I have o2 plus installed as well...and in o2 plus sounds and notifications options it points me to \Storage Card\Sound any ideas ?
Ezzkht,
Happy t worked for you, can't say the same for me.
Well it is getting more and more weird, when I look in my registry it only points to \windows\ not even \windows\rings\, despite this it still manages to pick up ringtones/sounds in the rings directory, and all sound files placed in the root of the SD Card(go figure).
I'm out of ideas right now, but am still looking for a solution and will be back if I find one.
I just used Resco Explorer with the registry editor add-in.
It worked with me without a soft-reset!
What device do you have, Mike?
Maybe some nice sounds
Hello everyone!
It's a little bit off topic, a little bit not
My advice: SD card is not really a good place for sounds, at least in my case. Why? Sometimes it happened that when I got a phone call, instead of my nice ringtone I've heard the standard one. I think it has sth to do with powering up SD card while changing from standby mode. It's just my impression.
Secondly: I'm looking for some nice SMS ringtones, not the funky ones... I'm getting a lot of messages and it's really boring if you hear "Heeeeellooooo! Your message is coooooomingggg!" every now and then. I will appreciate if you could share your ringtone with me

Changing the sound when message comes ?

Hi,
How can i replace the sound when message comes with an mp3 ? It only accepts midi i think.
Thanks
Put the tone in /windows/rings folder or root of storage card.
Buy an iPhone. Thats the only way for people like you.
If u r usin WM then copy .wav file in the windows folder and then change the notification sound from notifications.

The guy asked a question, don't be a such ****.
Message sounds can also be selected if the .WAV is stored in /Storage Card/My Documents too. This folder works for incoming call alerts and other alerts too (except Alarm tones, they have to be n /Windows for some reason!).
With my tones in my card's My Documents, and my .tsk homescreens in my card's root directory, no need to copy files after a ROM flash!

So let me guess - when you got your first HTC device you were a genius from the outset????? I think not Einstein, cut the person some slack and help - if you can that is!!! Otherwise, hold your tongue / fingers otherwise you may learn that there are others within these forums that can be equally smarmy!!!
To answer the question - you can look at asim.khans response, it is the same way that I managed to do this very thing.
Good luck.
thanks guys,
I'm sorry I couldnt reply instantly. I didnt know a wav file can be selected for a message ringtone. I wanted to select an mp3 file to be a message ringtone, I was just wondering maybe an application might change the settings and make it possible.
For the IPhone isseu, I dont think it's good for me because I love my HTC and I dont prefer iPhone, I used an iPhone for a couple days (I'm kinda nerd) and I prefer installing and uninstalling applications, trying new things, writing some little applications for my phone. It's the fun part, not playing with your fingers
Thanks for the replies

No problem. Here it is again:
Thx a lot Moti for such quick response. I have downloaded and installed the file. It works well now on my Window Media. Great man you are.
Hi Moti,
It is me again. Not withstanding my earlier reply, after installing the midi cab, midi files play well on WM player (Version 10.3 Build 21202 by xplode). However oftentimes when WMA files start to play for a short while, they will pause a little before continuing. Please help me again. Thx a lot.

If I am not mistaken (and please correct me if I am), WMP does skip/freeze, every so often. I don't use it so I can't really say, but I have read countless posts with reports from people having this same kind of issue with WMP.

Like egzthunder1 said, this is an old problem. I only really need midi support for my ringtones so I never really cared that it skips after a bit.
Sun dream's 6.5 ROM has midi support built in so you might want to give it a try and see if it is better at the skipping problem.
You are right, Moti and thank you for the help thus far, and thank Egzthunder for his reply.
I have used Sun dream's 6.5 Rom before, the WMP plays well with both midi and wma files- no skipping problem. A great Rom indeed. However, and this is not to discredit Sun Dream at all, a number of features still need improving, including Today Screen that wouldn't respond instantly to changes, no One Note mobile and it happened to me the IE stopped to function and displayed no connection after a few usage.
I have since moved to Xplode's ROM, which provides me with those needed features thus far. A great ROM indeed. However no support for midi files. I may seek help from Xplode on this, as he has developed his ROM, to some extent, with help from Sun Dream's.
Hi motisu,
thanx for the cab - MIDI is now working. The sound quality is a little bit poor, but anyway: At least I hear something with my MIDI-ringtones.
Sorry, but the sound is really not so nice - maybe that is concerned with my BA.
Thanx and Greetz,

Try the following:
Search your music database for a folder with write protection enabled. Disable this write protection and see if this fixes issue.
Manila player needs write permissions to these audio folders, because manila puts a hidden cover art file in each audio folder: hTC_AM_AlbumArt.jpg
Hope this helps...
Solution from vBoedefeld
same issue for me too.
this solution did not work
Hmmm. Okay, what can we do alternatively?
Anybody here to help us?
I think this bug is because of the writing protection which can not be disabled for an unknown reason!
Was doing some fiddling last night (as mentioned in another thread) and it, for me at least, appeared to be a problem with the program a mp3 was compressed with.
All my lame mp3s work fine but as soon as I copy one which dbpoweramp says was compressed with FHG all mp3s stop after a few seconds.
thanks!

Alarm Repeat

Hello!
I heave a problem on my Leo with the (wakeup) alarm.
I missed my school every day this week, today too.
My leo sounds the alarm only one time, and stops. I don't wakep and miss school.
Can I somehow turn, some, alarm repeat? That repeats my alarm few times so that I can wake up.
please! I heave problems in school becouse of this.
*lol* That sounds very funny to me...
May you should have test the alarm before using it?
I've done that....
My solution is to use the Klaxon alarm-clock, which works like a charme.
You should give it a try!
Klaxon
i would like a tweak for original alarm ..............
I've tried Claxon, but it doesn't seem to want to go off. Anyone definitely got it working on this phone?
My short term solution is an alarm at 07:30, another at 07:45, and a third at 08:00. Not ideal!
What idiot designed an alarm that doesn't persist in trying to wake you up? The chocolate teapot award goes to them.
maybe you would like to try g-alarm...it's quite good
when i checked last time g alarm didnot support vibration ....
any how original alarm is well integrated in phone i would like to tweak it ...........
I also cannot understand why there would be a limit of 3 alarms - I got round the no repeating problem by using alarmtone5, it's horrible enough to wake you up the first time round.
hahaha
i just can't wake up. i need an extrem alarm tone.
but thanx. i will try some of this programs.
but a tweak would be ideal.
tnx guyz n grlz

Yeah right I've got that one for alarms 2 and 3.
Still though, if I've been out drinking til 4 and I'm up again at 7:30 for work, I need an alarm that is prepared to go off for 30 minutes+ if I definitely want it to wake me!
Ps. The suggestion to go to bed earlier is out of the question!
same with me!! disappointment htc.. fuken WANKER!
just make the WAV file longer
Hi
Same problem here, I just used Audacity (or any other WAV editing tool), to copy and paste the waveform several times. Now my Alarm-Snooze file is much longer, and wakes me up before it finishes. You can make it as long as you like.
I'm attaching my one if you want to use that, just copy it into the WINDOWS directory, and choose the alarm named "Alarm-Snz-long".
a question ?
if we goto settings>Menu>all settings>clock&alarms>alarms>select the reminder icon
now here whats function of repeat ........
it never works ......

Sorry, I didn't word that at all well I meant how do I get this file in the alarms section, not off my SD card. I put the file into the windows directory and it was there along with the regular alarm snooze, alarm classic and alarm light etc but when I go to set the alarm and choose an alarm tone, the alarm snooze long file isn't listed. How do I get it into the alarms section so that Win Mo recognises it?
*EDIT This new file shows when using the HTC alarm but not the Win Mo embedded one. Not a problem, I'd not actually seen the HTC alarm until just now
but this files is not a permanent solution ......
at least want to know how alarm is controlled in registry .............

Not elegant, nor pleasing on the ear - which was probably how you intended it
