So I wanted to use my Touch Pro 2 (sprint) as a music player. After trying a few music players, because I did not like touch flo 3d's, I stuck with winvibe. anyways I managed to MESS the ringtone playback up...
So what is happening now is: my phone will not play any mp3 ringtone or choose any mp3 ringtone. if I choose a mp3 file as a ringtone, sound, etc, it will not let me choose it (windows setting will not let me choose it). this doesn't mean mp3s don't work, I can play them fine on windows media player and the music player. it just won't play back as a ringtone in the settings and can't be selected as a ringtone.
These were the last two major things I had done since it was last working properly:
1) I did a file association in WinVibe to all supported files (mp2, mp3, ogg, wma, m4a, wav, wpl).
2) While playing back music, I made a call to my celphone (that was playing music) to see if the ringtone would go off causing the music player to stop.
It was at step 2 where I noticed this bug. since then I can't figure out how to go about fixing the problem.
any one experience this while music playback? what music player did you use and did ringtone function properly or interrupt the music player?
any help, fix, info, or comment will be appreciated.
additional info: I don't think file association is the problem. There are some sound files that are unaffected. it's the very few short alarms (which I think are all wav).
soft restart did not solve problem either..
What "setting" did you use to set your ringtone?
Click into Windows Mobile settings, then go to Personal > Phone, are you able to choose and set your ringtone through that?
doesn't matter, through that, the windows settings > sound & notifications or the manila touchflo 3d, settings > sound. they all don't work.
Most likely its the media player giving you the problem UNINSTALL IT

I've serached and searched but have not found a solution... Please help!
A2DP works great when playing mp3 files with WMP. However when playing m4a files the phone switches automatically back to the phone speaker. Once an mp3 file is played again, it will switch back to the BT headset. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Also, is there a plugin for WMP to recognize the id tags of m4a files?
are you using windows media player to play the m4a?
it happened to me back to wm5 time while i was using the windows media player
,it just act like yours.
if you use 3rd party program such as tcpmp. it will play m4a via A2DP just fine. it's a problem of pocket media player.
Yes, I am using WMP. I've used tcpmp but is is pretty cumbersome to select files when you have to many. It does not have the options to select by artist, abum, etc...
Hi:
I have all my music stored on SD card. I sync it with Windows Media Player. All songs appear normally in Windows Media Player and when I use Files Explorer on Tilt 2 to view the songs on SD card.
My problem is, when I use the music player in TF3D, and look at library/songs, many songs appear twice. The really odd part is that a song may appear once with album art (which all my songs have), and a second instance with no album art.
When I play songs on the music tab in TF3D both instances of the song play. What I mean is, sometimes a song will show with album art, and sometimes the one without album art shows. The same is true if I edit a song title etc through Windows Media Player (I believe it is version 11). A song will show as the pre-edited version sometimes, other times it shows the edited version.
Any ideas? This is really driving me nuts.
Thanks!
I have a similar problem - but possibly the opposite to yours.
I have approx. 15Gb of music on the MicroSD on my TP2, and regularly use Windows Media Player to sync new music to the phone. However, Windows Media Player appears to sync ALL the music BACK to the PC as well - meaning I have each song duplicated on the PC (sometimes many times), which is rapidly filling up my hard drive unless I periodically manually delete all duplicates (which is painful).
I'm sure there must be a setting within Windows Media Player to stop this happening - but I still want to be able to sync music TO the phone (just not back).
Has anyone else encountered this issue or know a solution?
How do you disable the native media player on the Touch Pro 2 so that you can use your Bluetooth headphones controls to play another media player? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
I've never disabled the native HTC media player, I just installed another app (Nitrogen in this case), and I've had no trouble listening to that and controlling it through my BT stereo headphones
Thank you - will try Nitrogen & see it that does the trick.
Hey master, I was actually playing around with Nitrogen some more last night, and I discovered a few things. First....when I hit the "pause" button on my bluetooth headphones, it doesn't actually pause the player (like it does when I use windows media player on the phone), it just interrupts the audio stream going to the headset, the player actually keeps playing. And, for some reason, it also causes the HTC Media tab to pop up.
I'd never realized these behaviors until last night, but I thought they might influence your search for a media player. I know the BT controls on the headphones will directly control all functions in WMP just fine, but that's obviously not the best (and definitely not the "leanest") media player available and I'll be checking out other replacement options for it today too. I'll post back here when I confirm which one(s) work the way we want for the BT controls (aka "AVRCP" profile)
Sirphunkee, That's the issue I have with the HTC media player using Bluetooth. If I press ffwd or rew, the HTC player starts playing over the 3rd-party player (i.e. Core Player, Pocket Music, etc.). I would use the native player - if it had an equalizer (maybe I'm asking for too much, LOL) & WMP is "okay" at best in sound, but is a battery hog. Thanks again & now you know my pain,
Also, for some reason, my playlists don't show in Nitrogen.
Yeah, the reason I didn't realize at first that the HTC media player was kicking in is becasue I don't have any music in it's default folder, it's all on my SD card, so the HTC player pops up but just continuously shows "searching...", so it never started playing anything over the music I already had on.
But yeah, I'm sure there's registry keys somewhere that tell the phone what to do (i.e. calling up the HTC player) whenever AVRCP commands are received...if they can be routed to activate/control the HTC player, they should be able to be redirected to the player of choice.
Keep looking, I'm doing the same (well, whenever my boss isn't walking by lol)
hi
my BA recently has become unable to use mp3s as ringtones. i guess it has sth to do with permanantly associating .mp3 with a different programm (stupid me )than the windows media player. but simply re-associating mp3s with wmplayer did not work.
i however can select them in the sounds & notifications window but if i press on play nothing happens. .WMAs work fine btw.
can someone tell me which registry keys are responsible for handling ringtones and the mp3-filetype (possibly with the standart values)?
i am using d-twos wm6.5.3 if thats of any interest

file associations have nothing to do with it. i use an mp3 ringtone and have tcpmp as standard player and can still use the ringtones and select new ones. unfortunately i can't tell you more.
Have you put the mp3's in the map "my documents-my ring tones" ?
That's the place here to switch between standard en own ring tones.
But when it work's in the past well then it's may another problem now.
How can i put a mp3 file to ring on the alarms?
Hi All,
I have a media folder on my sd card that has a couple ringtones and a few notification sounds and the Asus music player is listing them as music to play. My Galaxy S4 did not, it ignored them. I placed a .nomedia file in the directory but now android ignores that directory and it's sub-directories completely.
Has anyone else run into this?
I actually use a different music player that let me select the music folder.
Now does it happen to you that when you are playing music and you turn the screen on or off there is a little skip of sound?
It has happened to me in the stock music player, poweramp and Pandora.
