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.

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 ?

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to change the default locations for things such as pictures, album, emails etc, I want it to be on my Storage Card
Thanks
Tim
if you can it's in the registry you can access that using total commander
but it's not always a good idea since you can pull the sd card
and prgrams get mighty upset if their storage is pulled
also sd cards are disabled while the device is off so
ring tones and other storage that programs may have to access while running in the background while the device is off would fail
Registry
I have downloaded a registry tool, but what is the key for these settings?
Tim
i dont know
you can try to search this forum
or
you can try to surf the registry and look for something which fit
Hello, all!
I have some troubles with customization of SMS/alarm sounds.
- What kind of WAV format they should be? I converted MP3 files to WAV format, copied them to \Windows directory. I can see new files from alarm dialog but when I press play button, sound does not play and reseted to Default.
- Can I place this kind of sound on the card somewhere?
- Is there some way to set my custom sound to SMS notification? I fill it's stiupid question, looked on HTC's web-site FAQ, but I cann't find whre is it...
- Is it possible to disable auto synchronization with ActiveSync? Each time I connect the device to USB ActiveSync automatically raised and starts synchronization. But sometimes, I want to copy number of files to the devies only and sync does this process very slow. How can I disable automatic synchronization, so synchronization will start on Sync button pressed only?
Thanks to all for your help
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--
Does anyone know if there is a registry edit, or anything to move the alarm, alerts, etc from its default location of the "\windows" directory and move it to the SD card as we have for Ringtones, Pictures, Videos, and My Documents? If not move the default location, point to an additional location?
I was searching the registry as best as I could but didnt find anything that points to this location, and I was wondering if I was missing it, or if there was a way to move it. It would save quite a bit of space not having to add tones to a limited amount of phone space that we have already.
bump anyone? been doing searches but cant find anything about it here or google. just about what format it has to be in.
This is the location they use if you download and install sound packs from Microsoft:
My Device \ Application data \ Sounds
It is not reliable to put ringtones and alert sounds on memory card - if the phone is in Disk Drive mode attached to the computer, the card is not accessible to the phone, so if you get a phone call during that time your phone won't be able to use your custom ringtone and it resets to using the default ringtone and you'll need to reconfigure to your choice afterwards.
But if you insist on placing them on storage card, you can place ringtones here: My Device \ Storage card \ My documents \ My ringtones
and alert sounds here: My Device \ Storage card (this also works for ringtones)
Thanx Mesquire, I am not overly worried about it defaulting back, cause it doesnt. The HTC for ring tones also looks on the memory card. I dont use disk mode so no worries there. I use to have my ringtones in the directory \storage card But I also didnt like it was messy, so I tried something that works. U can add your ringtones to \my device\storage card\my ringtones and it will pick it up and add it to the list of ringtones. You can also do this with" My Music, My Videos, and I think My Pictures, not sure of the last since all mine sit in the dcim folder.
But I will try and see if I move all the alerts to the main directory of the storage card if it will work, if it does, then it will do for now.
I just checked My Device \ Application data \ Sounds and there seems nothing there probably normal.
Yes, it is normal. My Device\Application data\Sounds is an empty folder until you start to populate it
Is there a setting to change the alarm and alert and rings location from the windows folder? Or putting them into the main sd card directory is fine? I see that Alert, Alarm, and Ring are either .wav or .wma files, would it be safe to assume that if I cut all these files and put them into the main directory of the sd card windows will see them? I know you might think I'm nuts, but there is already limited space on the phone as it is, by adding mp3's or ringtones or other media files it would in essence use up what little space is there. I already only have 171mb of space on the phone, and by computer standards I know the more files a system has to wade thru the slower it becomes.
