I've managed to install the cab file onto my xda 11s ( also known as XDA III / MDA3 / PDA2K / SX66 / Qtek9090), which allows me to play mp3's as ringtones. The problem is, when i select the mp3 i want to use by holding the stylus on the screen and selecting 'set as ringtone', it is not selecting it. Can anyone give me any advice please?
I would suggest putting the mp3 file into \Windows\Rings or what ever folder you have changed it to..
If you were to do the above mentioned step, you would see the mp3 file in the drop down list when selecting what audio file to be used as ringtone.
cheers.
I've still never managed to get this working on WM2003.. does it really work?
I'm still using comparably chuncky .wav files :-(
-FM
it might depend on your ROM version. I have 1.40 ROMs & have no problem. unsure if 1.3x ROMs support mp3 ringtones
never worked for me with mp3s on 2003. I just coverted it to wma, and put it in the rings folder then selected it as a ring.

Hi all. Currently running an o2 (uk) xda2s but having trouble getting it to play any other ringtone than the "windows default"??. Have browsed these forums and others and have tried various fixes etc but with no luck, have converted the tones to both wav and mp3 placed them in the rings folder but when i select apply as ringtone it errors saying the ringtone could not be applied???
have used the add ringtone option in the system folder and the tones show in the list, have ticked the boxes but they do not show in the dropdown box in the sounds and notifications options box?. Phone works fine except for this annoying problem, running the last o2 rom that was posted on the official o2 xda website
hope someone can help and sorry if its been asked before
I had the same problem
but once I upgarded to wm5 helmis latest ROM, its fine for me
so you can even upgarde, and the latest version is fast and very nice
Had just the same problem, tried placing the file all over the place, finally worked when I placed it in \windows\rings. I then went to Settings/Phone/Ring tone: and there it was and it played ... all 4.5MB with no apparent requirement to shorten file name (05-the_pogues-metropolis-jaffa.mp3).
I used to get the different problem about Cannot set MP3 as ringtone.
But after Hard Reset it work again.
May youtry to hard reset first before UP-ROM
It works on my XDAiis perfect. You have to options:
1: put your mp3 file in windows/rings
2. Keep your stylus on the mp3 song for a while and choose:set as ringtone
pls somebody should help me explain how to change the dir of my ringtone to mp3 either using my phone memory or storage card.
i have an 02 xda with processor arm sa1110, 63.20mb and version 3.0.12039
pls help somebody. the windows ringtone is really freakin me out.
Ok fella, take a deep breath. The ringtone will not hurt you, though it is a bit annoying.
If you want to set a different ring-tone copy the file you want (mp3 or WMA) to \windows\rings or \My Documents or the root of your SD card (\Storage card).
Then go to Start->Settings>Sounds and notifications.
In the list select 'Incoming call' then browse for the proper sound for that event.
It is not recommended to keep ring-tones on SD card because it is disconnected during standby so you may still get the default ring because the file is not accessible right away.
You can also assign individual ring-tones to your contacts simply by selecting the desired file in the proper field when creating or editing a contact.
re help
Thanx a lot but it's still the same.
I did all you said but still the same thing.
From the drop down box in settings/sounds & notifications/incoming call, my selected ringtone (wma or mp3) is not even showing for me to select it.
Is there something am doing wrong? Pls help
what about programs add ring tone ?
right i had my ringtone set as something personal that i wanted - though i cant even remember how i did that as it was an option somewhere that moved the song its self anyway for some reason i cant use my own ringtones any more - every time that i try to select one it saves but then i open it again and its selected the last ringtone there is some windowsmobile one which i dont want
is it something that i have done?
how do i fix it?
could it be an application that i have used? i added the media player "Nitrogen" could that have affected it?
the apps i have installed:
TomTom Navigator
Southampton Navigator Map
Spb Mobile Shell 3, Weather, Keyboard, time, TV
Dusk comm mgr & misc
VolDeus MS3Config
Fingerkeyboard
HDTweak
changescreen
Nigrogen
could any of these affected it?
Right it seems that Nitrogen isnt the culprit as i uninstalled it and i still cant change ringtone back to what i had it as. i am also missing the option when holding down on a music file to set that as the ringtone i have no idea what i have done but im desperate need of some help
right i might be getting a bit closer - the Touch HD seems to think that all my audio files that i have on my memory card are windows files could this have something to do with it? and i keep coming back to Nitrogen i remember during the installation that it gave me a box to tick for MP3 now, which i ticked could that have something to do with this?
Not sure what you've done to lose the option in file explorer but a workaround is to copy the song/sound you want to the 'My Ringtones' folder which is located in the 'My Documents' folder.
You should then be able to go to the sounds settings and choose your song as a ringtone.
Good luck...

nope i have tried that as well. it wont let me use it from there either - i have them there i can select them it just wont use that song when the phone rings. i just copied a song over from my computer and even that didnt work - still goes back to one from the computer - im running out of ideas maybe im going to be forced to do a hard reset as a soft reset didnt do anything
right its fixed - it took a hard reset though
it happened to me as well
open nitrogen mp3 player
click options--- then settings---- then file associations
and clear the box for use nitrogen to open mp3 files
that causes the problem, i hope it works for you too.
Hi, I want to change my tilt 2's sms notification sound into a MP3 file on my TF card. I copied it to my documents- my ringtone, and windows- rings, and even set up a folder called my ringtone on TF card. However, when I select new text message- there is no new file in the drop list. What should I do?
It wont work that way, unfortunately.
WAV format dropped directly in windows folder will though.
sorry for short answer but Christmas morn.
also will work out of root directory on storage card--
I hope I am posting this in the right place... if not, can a Mod put it where it needs to be ? Thanks!
I was in a business meeting and wanted to record it. I downloaded the app Tape-A-Talk to record the meeting. I constantly checked to make sure it was recording.(and it was) At the end of the meeting it showed that it recorded over an hour and 10 minutes. I guess the native format is 3gp. I saw in the settings that it could also be saved as a .wav file. So I save it as a wav file. (I guess that is where my troubles begin) The wav file shows up in the listing but I cant find it on the nexus. Also when I hit play... nothing!
The app also gives the option of emailing the wav file, so I tried that and a day later my phone and gmail show that it is still sending. I really need this recording and I would love to revert it back to the native file format. (I have since recorded several other test files in the 3gp fomat and they show up in the app listing with the wav file and they play when i hit the play button.) When I hit the play button on the wav file....NOTHING! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
pretty sure that wav file is uhh... massive. you'll never get that sent via email. ever.
hook the phone up to your computer? http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
either way, prepare for the worst. sounds like that file is corrupted (or you aren't giving it enough time to load).
Also maybe try playing it with the app called power amp
1. Send the wav from your phone to your computer.
2. Convert it to 3gp http://www.ojosoft.com/download/download-audio-converter.html
3. Do the free download
4. Send back to phone
5. Hopefully that works!
I finally got the file off of my Nexus. It is 212 megabytes, and is in WAV format. Now the problem is nothing will play the file ie. windows media player or even VLC .
I was thinking maybe if I convert it back to its native format, I might get the audio back. Does anyone know of a wav to 3gp conversion program that is free? Thanks again for all the help!
