A friend with a nokia phone sent me a couple of MMS video files but when I open them up they are blank. But they have an extension of 3GP. Does anyone know if the Artemis will read these by default or TCPMP play them. Or do you need to convert these firstly. If so to what format? any advice appreciated...cheers JD76...
TCPMP does handles 3gp, within TCPMP go to Options > Settings > Select Page > File Associations and make sure the second box on the list is ticked (MPEG files (MP4, MOV, 3GP, M4A etc) i think once that is ticked and you go to your mms tcpmp will pick it up, but dont hold me to that.

Thanks Wooley tried this but when i play it it gives unknow file format. When you try to save the file it says it does not have a file name extension MMS composer will correct this attachment by adding amr as the extension. So I allow this and rename through gsfinder...still no joy any other ideas. maybe the file is corrupt...I'll try and check this. Also can you PM me the scots flag as I used to have this but during the upgrade of the site it was lost and the administrator at the time could not recreate this. Thanks jd..
It's okay re flag I see they have added Scotland as a country it only used to have the UK.
Hey did you get this sorted? I have exactly the same issue, and I'm on o2 too. Totally stumped on this one.
I've had 3 different roms and it's the same on all, I'm wondering if it is an o2 issue. But I am struggling to contact anyone with any intelligence at o2.
Ok for this to work you need PlayPause, it can be downloaded here, and the HTC audio manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3548894&postcount=21
Make sure you download it to your phone and not a storage card
After you install it on your Dash, you'll realize that you cant actually manipulate the fields which is every frustrating.
Therefore you must exit the app go to program files/playpause/audiomanager
In this folder there will be the two programs that have the functionality that you are looking for.
Get a registry editor and link the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand's Path value to one of the files.
Then rename the unused file to redial.exe, move that to \windows and it should work out. btw make sure you make a copy of redial.exe just in case you want to put it back.

Welcome to forums
Thanks for sharing!
I want to use a custom sound for incomin mail. No Problem, copying the file in the windows directory and selecting it in the advanced settings.
This is working for a few times, but then the sound file is corrupted an even soundfiles never played are corrupted.
Can I try any other folder or does anybody know another solution?
does nobody have the same problem?
Solved
Hi. I had also these problems but then I solved my case by noticing that I had to rename my sound files. You can only use small letters with sound file names copied in Windows folder (example: sms.wav => NO SMS.wav). After this I got my custom sounds work fine. I hope this helps you, too.
i have a similar problem. I am using a .wav file in the \windows\rings folder as ringtone. From time to time the ringtone gets reverted to the windows mobile standart one, and i have no clue what causes this. The .wav file itself in my case remains intact. i just have to select it again in settings ->phone.
Try placing your sound files in this folder:
My Device\Application Data\Sounds\
guys, i have few MP3 & few OGG files which i was using them as ringtones on my previous phone.
in SGS2, i dont know how i can set custom ringtones.... i saw some OGG files in system/media/audio/ringtone folder through root explorer.
i tried copying OGG files into that folder, it allowed me. but when i went to settings/sounds/ringtone.... there it doesnt show up the newly added file...
what should i do ? is it possible to use custom ringtone on SGS2 ? if yes, how & in what format the SGS2 recognises music files....
pls let me know.... i am waiting
Hmmm think the fastest way on a clean phone would be to just play the song in the media player and then "menu > set as > phone ringtone"
Think you can also set then using kies.
Mind you I've only used mp3's so not sure if this also goes for OGG files.
hope it's somewhat usefull
Copy Ringtones to folder System/Media/ringtones . I use super manager .
Format .ogg .
Exit reboot phone .
Go to setting sounds phone ringtone scroll down and then back up for ringtone select new ringtone .
Tested working 1100 21/05/11

You can actually put them in any partition, even on the memory card, you don't have to root so long as you put them in the correct folder:
Ringtones
/media/audio/ringtones/
Alarms
/media/audio/alarms/
Notifications
/media/audio/notifications/
I believe that any audio format that the phone can support may be used
thanks guys, i played the file & in the options i set it as ringtone. that played the trick. after choosing that mp3/ogg file as default ringtone, it showed up in sound/phone ringtone setting.... till then it was not so...
thanks for you help...
it would have been better to search for list of music files from default ringtone settings....i wish.... its okay....

You don't even need the media/audio/ folders.
My sd card just has the last folder name, and any files in there show up in the relevant selection menus.

Hey guys,
I've found an easy way to implement custom mp3 files into the game. The radio station .nfx files are actually renamed mp3's. Even better: they're only recorded in 96 kbit / 32 KHz, but GTA3 plays 192 kbit / 44 KHz files just as well.
This is how to add your own files:
1. Download mergemp3 (freeware, search Google) and start it
2. Put all your mp3 files into the track list
3. Chose View -> Preferences and check the "Merge using raw stream mode" box, click "OK"
4. Press Ctrl+M or chose File -> Merge
5. Select save location and name the file CHAT.mp3; after the merging process is finished, rename the file to CHAT.nfx
6. Overwrite the file CHAT.nfx on your phone (sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio) with your newly created file.
7. Start the game and select the "Chatterbox" radio station - voilá
There's no apparent size limit - the original files take up only 15-20 MB of space, but I've created a 717 MB CHAT.nfx file, and it's playing just fine.
Of course, you can also replace any other radio station, or you can replace all of them - CD changer style ;-)
Have fun!!
I tried this, but couldn't get it to work. How can i overwrite the file? I had to copy it(CHAT.nfx) to the folder and then delete the old file(CHAT.nfx). But it didn't work..
What exactly didn't work? Did you still hear the Chatterbox station? Or was there no audio at all on this channel?
Two shots in the dark: I can confirm this method works with mp3's in 128, 160 & 192 kbit, all with constant bitrate. Have you saved your mp3's with variable and/or higer bitrate? Maybe that causes issues, I'll try to check it out - right now I'm replacing all 9 radio stations with custom audio (1.5 GB of audio data) that contains some VBR files.
Second, are you sure your file is named correctly? I use MyPhone Explorer to copy files for instance, but instead of overwriting the old file, MPE renames the new one, so it's better to backup & delete the original CHAT.nfx first, then copy the custom file.
Cheers!
So... the bitrate setting shouldn't cause any problems. I've just played an Amazon mp3 download in GTA, IIRC that's 320 kbit VBR or something like that.
How large is your CHAT.nfx? I haven't tried more than the beforementioned 717 MB, and the 9 custom files I'm using now are all between 130 and 200 MB in size.
1. I named the file correctly.
2. The radio station(chatterbox) didnt play anything and it skipped to the "radio off" and after you couldnt change the channel anymore, it was stuck to "radio off"
3. All my mp3's are 128 or higher
Strange. How large is your nfx file? And did you merge your mp3's with MergeMp3? Have you tried copying a single mp3 file as CHAT.nfx to see if it works at all?
My file was 64MB and yes I merged it with mergemp3's. Haven't tried the single file, will give it a go and let you know
Ok, I tried the single file and the same thing happend it skipped to the radio off sign
Right, let's try this:
unzip the attachment to your game dir (mount/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3/audio), overwriting the existing CHAT.nfx.
This sound file works on my phone. Just for the record, I'm not violating any copyright here, it's a free mp3 I've downloaded from www.steveunruh.com and renamed to CHAT.nfx.
Hope this helps. Btw, which phone model do you have?
Merry Christmas ;-)
Hi, thx for the reply becuase your file worked. The difference is that your file is actually a nfx file, while mine even after renaming it to CHAT.nfx still remains a mp3 file, if you know what I mean. That's the problem. How did you change your mp3 file to nfx file?
Merry Xmas to you too!

UPDATE:
Ok, I got it working now, all I had to do was change the file extension to nfx(folder options and unclicked the hide extensions box)
Thx for all of your help and have a happy New Year as well
Glad I could help, have fun
hey waquzy, i think i could help u a bit, u can change ur mp3 file to nfx, by copying ur song to Winrar file, than rename ur mp3 file, delete .mp3, then type .nfx, the icon will change~, and change the name to any radio station at gta3 if u want~~ hope this help u a bit~
hay,
