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'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 ?
Hey guys - I recently put an mp3 on the phone and wanted to use it as a text message alert. But it won't recognize it in mp3 format - just wav file.
Is there a way to bypass that setting so i can use mp3 vs wav format for text alerts?

It should recognize the .mp3... I just added some .mp3s myself, and they all were recognized as text sounds as well. Where do you place the file once you transfer it over to your phone?
Hi Rip - I had placed it in the Windows Root Diretory. Should I have placed it in another folder?
Where did you place your files?

If you have put the .mp3 on the memory card it has to go on the root dir.

I always place mine in the first screen after you've clicked 'Explore' in ActiveSync. I believe it's called "Mobile Device Center". Afterwards, it should allow you to select the file for texts.

That worked perfectly! Thanks guys
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.
hi there,
There's something that's bugging me lately.
With any music player (stock, meridian, ecc) when i go to "all songs" (or i think it's called "tracks" on stock player) it only shows a half dozen files, as opposed to the 400 there should have been.
Funny thing is that when i explore with those music players inside the folders, the files are all there and magically from that point on, they appear in the "all songs" section and they play fine, but looking better, when i explore the sd card, it says "refresh to scan media" under each previously invisible file.
Every time i reboot the phone those files became invisible again and it's kinda annoying... anybody has some ideas?
Is there any difference in the music files? What format are they in? Maybe the scanner doesn't scan certain formats automatically. Just a guess though.
thank you for the answer, however, the issue disappeared. Don't know if that's what healed my phone, however i went exploring with ESfile explorer and found a rather useles file called "nomedia" with no extension and no format which appeared in the music folder. After that everything went back to normal.
I forgot to say that i recently bought a 16gg class 4 sd card and almost thought to call for a replacement... but things are working now!

.nomedia files are there to tell the default android media scanner to ignore that folder. It's used so sound and picture files from apps and games don't show up in media players. That was were your problem was
