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

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.
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 ?
As those here with O2 Orbits here may well have the CoPilot software with it, I though I might as well post this...:
I get annoyed with the loud 'Welcome to CoPilot Live' message that gets played whenever you start up the program, so here are a couple of .ogg formatted silence samples you can use to replace the welcome message.
First, go to
\Storage Card\COPILOT\SPEECH\UK English\Jane
and rename
CPWelcome.ogg
CPWelcomelive.ogg
to
CPWelcome_old.ogg
CPWelcomelive_old.ogg
Then extract the attached .zip to that directory.
That's it!
have you found any other voices for the program?
No, although I'm guessing you might be abel to adapt voices for another system to it.
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 Guys, I need help!
I'm having an issue whereby I can't assign a ringtone to any contact. There is no option to do so when I try and edit a contact. Is this an issue where my contacts are stored (currently copied from google to phone)? I have done some reading and found that this may be a Lollipop bug!
I have also gone one step further and made things worse for myself. I can't direct the ringtone or sound settings to the default media location (I dunno where it's at and everywhere I looked shows no sounds/ringtones.) This happened when it asked what my default media source was (Zedge, Media Scanner etc) and I chose media scanner. I'm about to delete all data from media scanner and reboot.
Any ideas at all?
Many Thanks in Advance,
Doozeman
*Update
I have factory reset the phone and now the default ringtones can be found as well as custom ones too. The problem remaining is the custom contact ringtone issue. I would also like to know how to fix issue 2 without a phone reset, if thats possible
Many Thanks Again,
Doozeman
*Update 2
I have managed to get the custom ringtone working now which is good but I have to select (just once) when asked to use Zedge or Media Scanner to find ringtones. If I select always then a file browser appears and I lose the list of installed ringtones. Anyone else have this problem too?
Many Thanks In Advance,
Doozeman
