Hi all
Problem, all ringtones and sounds do not play, even music in the music player does not play ?.
I posted a solution for this problem a while back for somebody else, that worked for me and them, but now it wont.
The solution was to use memmaid to transfer storage of the sound files from main memory to storage card and then back, and it solved the problem.
But its happened again, all my ringtones music and sounds just will not play, but i get the volume up and down sound?
Also selecting any ringtone from the menu just results in the phone displaying none.
The sounds are there,m just like the music is on the card, so whats the issue with this dog**** phone, still running stock rom.
Me too. Any clues? Can't change ringtone - looks like a hard reset looming? Sounds and notifications won't hold my choice...just defaults back to some default 'ring tone 1' nonsense
Any ideas at all? Thanks in advance.

i have put up a small midi ringtone file (originally a Nokia ringtone) onto my JasJar, same ringtone i've used on my PDA2k for a year..
problem is that after sometime, probably a couple calls, the ringtone seems to get reset back to the annoying "Windows Default" ringtone for no apparent reason, and i end going back to the sound & notification settings 2-3 times a day to set it back to my ringtone :\
i did a hard reset, skipped extended rom for trials and ran it for a day, same problem!
after searching for so long i figured this might be something i have to live with..
so i reset my device, installed all my apps and tuned them to my liking..
only to find out that with SPB Pocket Plus, the ringtone sometimes stops playing completely.
for instance, i can see it selected in the sound and notifications, but clicking play on it produces no sound!
the default ringtones on the other hand play just fine...
the only workaround is to softreset the device.
i finally removed SPB pocket plus... and the old problem is back.. Windows Default ringtone keeps getting set as my ring
any tips.. please i'm so frustrated at this point :\
did you put the file in windows\rings ?
i think on storage card it might be a problem.
tried having the ringtone both on /windows/rings and on the SD card, no difference..
Try some other file format other than your MIDI, May be MP3
Look here, maybe this can help you:

I checked the above thread, and I did indeed have a different entry under the 'saved' registry entry. CHanged it and keen to see if this solved things.
OK, I have some progress on this.
When ur phone changes (ie goes wrong), go to phone/options and try playing any of the ringtones. Most fail with something like "file is possibly corrupt". Now, the ones that fail are WMA files, and the ones that work are WAV. That's why the phone is reverting; it's failing to play WMA's and is defaulting to a working ringtone (which is a good strategy - I guess...).
This aligns with other threads on mp3 ringtones; if you lose the WMPlayer assocition with mp3's, they then fail as ringtones. So, it seems that the Uni is losing it's WMA association - until u reboot. Now we know this it feels solvable:
- We need to know why WMA's are losing association
- Else we need to convert our ringtones to WAV's.
That's y for all other notifications also wav is the only option for us.
thanks for this theory... i still have this problem despite changing the registry...i will try having wav as ringtone.. thanks!
Hi there,
I am having a ringtone issue.
Issue:
1. Unable to set any MP3 files as ringtones.
2. The option which i had last time (when you hold down an MP3 and one of the drop down options was "Set as Ringtone" is gone missing).
3. I have tried with the MP3 tone set to Windows\Rings\ as well but same issue.
4. The ringtones are visible in the list but when i select them and perform a test play - no sound.
5. I am able to play the default sounds by Dopod.
Kindy appericiate your advice before I have to try a Hard Reset
anyone can help?
Still having the same issue...
Same problem here.
When someone calls vibration works but ringtones don't.
:/
solved this issue with a hard reset....
randomly my ringtones will stop working. i dont have the volume on mute. i have to either go into the sounds menu and select a different ringtone and then go back to the one i was using or do a soft reset. its kind of annoying to do so. i just got my wing yesterday and ive had this happen to me twice now. has anyone experience this problem? also i was wondering if there is a way to stop the SMS/MMS ringtone from playing the whole ringtone even if i dismiss the message? i know i can just make the ringtone shorter but if there is a way to stop the ringtone, id much rather do that. thanks in advance.
I have this same problem with my t-mobile wing when I use an mp3 for sms tones, after a few messages it goes silent, I tried placing mp3 in windows folder but eventually it still goes silent, hopefully someone has a fix
yes exactly. only when I use a mp3 is when this problem occurs. hopefully there is a tweak or something to fix this
anyone have a solution?
i have the same problem and i've been having to do soft resets...pain in the butt
has anyone came up with an answer to this problem? i lived with it when i first got my wing, but now it has caused me to miss a few important text messages and what not from my girlfriend and other people.
I placed my .mp3 file in the windows folder and hit refresh then closed file explorer and assigned that .mp3 to my messages. It worked for a while but eventually it still goes silent so this is just a longer temporary fix. I'm still looking for a permanent fix
Hey Is The Ringtone In The Storage Card Or On The PHONE

mine is saved to the phone. its the only way the ringtone will show up in the ringtones list for me to choose it.
It Think That It Might Be A Reg Tweak For This Ill Do Some Looking Around After I Get Outta Work
Same here...
I have the same problem as well. I've searched for registry fixes but I've found none. I've converted all of my sms rings from .mp3 to .wav and i haven't had a problem since. But .wav takes up a lot more space. Is this a problem with any other roms or just the t-mobile stock rom.
oh i didnt think about changing them to wav. ill try that.
what did you use to convert to .wav?

Cheetah Audio Converter for your pc. Move them to your desktop with ActiveSync, convert them, then copy them back.

i use audacity to convert to wav and to chop the songs up. anyways using wav instead of mp3 has seem to solve the problem!
How do you add a new ringtone under new messages? When I receive a message I would like it to play a ringtone of my own. Any ideas?
Put them in the Windows folder - I used wma files too

Just so I don't mess up and end up with files all over the place would that be;
Explorer>Windows>Rings ?
I know it sounds simple but I can mess up even the easiest jobs on these things!
Matt
You can put them in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'
Then you don't have to worry about the space
I cna't tell you how much that has been annoying me and yet the answer when it came was so simple... a bit like me!
Matt
PS And it works with my ringtone as well... thus freeing up the space on my device memory! You know, I sometimes wonder how I get through the day without hurting myself!!!
I place the files in 'Internal Storage\My Documents\'rings or music
so I don't waste space and it's all well set!!
I have two problems with this:
1. Storing ringtones on the Internal Storage makes them show up in the Music tab! No thanks I don't want to listen to ringtones when playing my music, is there a way to stop this other than keeping them on My Device memory?
2. The topic is actually regarding message tones and not just ringtones and I cannot see any of my files to select for a meesage tone. They are MP3 files which work fine for ringtones.
Does this phone not allow MP3s to be used for messages?

1. Don't use the TF3D music player!!
2. I have no problems with mp3 message sounds... and I have them in 'Internal Storage/my Documents'
I quite like the TF3D player actually and I'd rather use the built in one than go to run another app especially as I use a stereo BT headset and press play on that which automatically starts the TF3D player.
I've put loads of MP3 files in Internal Storage\My Documents\MyRingtones and while they all appear ok for actual ringtones I can't see a single one for use as a message tone, only the default files are there.
Is there a size, bpm, frequency limit or anything?
Anyone else managed to use MP3s for message tones?

In order to use mp3 ring tones for mssg tone u need to put them in the root directory of internal Storage it works fer me like a charm....
Cheers
cut and paste the file in windows then u can go back to ur sound settings
Thanks for the replies putting it in the root has worked though it's a little untidy. I've also found that My Device\Application Data\Sounds is a working location. I thought I'd already tried that but obviously not
While we're on the ringtone topic, has anyone found a way to store mp3 ringtones on Internal storage and NOT have them show in the TF3D Music Library?
I'm wondering whether removing the ID tags from them would work though unfortunately I don't have anything to do that with where I am at the moment, I'll try tonight.
Just to update to this, removing MP3 tags doesn't work and the file alone is still recognised and included in the TF3D player.
Are there any locations on internal storage which WILL show up for selection as ringtones but NOT in the music player?
MP3 ringtone
you can place a mp3 file anywhere on your phone and then tap and hold and set as a ringtone. i belive this does automaticly move it to the phones memory tho as well as being on the extra storage.
hey anyone knows how to download mp3s from your phone
ps: i dont no if this is the good place to ask this im srry if it isnt im new thats y
thx
Assigning vibration to a specific contacts text messages and calls
Hi, sorry if this does not belong here, I think it is at least related . Does anyone know if there is an option (can not find it in the settings of the touch diamond) or tweak which would assign vibration to a specific incoming text message? Meaning: when I turn down the ring tone not to be disturbed acousticly, I want the phone vibrate only when one specific contact calls or sends text message. Thanks to all for any ideas
Apologies if this has been asked but I've not found a thread so far for this problem.
I am using rom 1.61 and recently decided to add different ringtones to my most common contacts. The ringtones are just normal MP3 files, eg some are songs, some are stuff like TV theme tunes etc. They all play perfectly in any of the media players like coreplayer etc.
But when any person with a personalised ringtone calls me, I get no ringtone at all. The phone vibrates, and the speaker is on & volume turned up, but no sound plays.
Anyone know if this is a fault, or is there a setting I have missed or something?
Thanks
Jim
i had this problem with the same rom but i found that setting the ringtone through file explorer seemed to sort it out
Don't think that will help will it mate?
You can only set the current overall ringtone like that, and the problem I've got is that ringtones set that are different for various people do not play.
Actually, I just found something out, that when I've set these personalised ones for different people it has set itself as a default tone just to vibrate.
I've changed it to a proper ringtone now, but I'll have to get a friend to call me to see if this works now. I have a suspicion there's more to it than this......
Bump! Anyone?
