Custom lock and unlock ogg sounds not working. Help please. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. Need some help with some custom sounds I am trying to put into my phone. I am using soff.. I'm trying to replace my Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg files. I've been able replace the stock files in the past with a lot of IJM (its just magic) results. When I had my first set of replacement ogg sound files for the lock and unlock sounds, it worked until I deleted the mp3 duplicatesi had idly stashed in the phones notifications and or ring tones folder. I didn't think they had anything to do with the ui folder. I then had no lock and unlock sound
I tried replacing the first set of ogg files with my new ones. The first time i rebooted, I would get the lock sound as my unlock sound and nothing as my lock sound. I tried putting an mp3 and a wav file in the notifications and ring tones folders and at one point got the lock sound to be the unlock sound and visa versa. I deleted all the extra mp3 files and wavs and left the ogg files there. I now have no lock or unlock sound.
Any ideas?

Still cant figure out how to fix the issue. Ive tried a few more combinations.

To work they have to be .ogg extension not mp3 or wav. When you replace the files make sure to give the same permissions the original files had.

Funny thing happened. I think this is what happened last time. I did replace them as Ogg files but it didnt work. I left it alone over night and for some reason now they work. Weird.... I am still trying to figure out how to change the camera and low battery sound. Ive replaced those and they are still the default.

mp3 patch

can anyone give me the link to download the mp3 patch that allows my 9090 to use mp3 as ringtone.
bye
Depending on what ROM you are using you can do it anyway! Just copy/paste the mp3 file in the Windows\Rings folder ;-).
i've just copied the mp3 into the ring folder, but it doesn't work.
I remember that exist a patch to do it.
I will help you...
Here it is...
That's it!
Thank you
bye

I have similar problem - Wavs rings cut off
Sorry I can't help you, I have a similar problem with WAVs,
My problem is, I use 16bit 11khz WAVs for ringtones and they cut out just as they begin, I've missed so many calls I had to get another phone, i'm a bit of a music producer & NORMALISED the samples so they are LOUD as possible OR I wont hear them in the busy city, they are about 3 second loops. I think I'm just tearing out the battery or CPU or both, but it is 98% charged! Could it be the LENGTH of the sample? My old Sony J5 used to do this same problem. If I reduce the volume I won't hear it and still cuts out, sometimes I have to Soft-Reset in order to get it to play at all :/ same with bluetooth headset. So I must try Mp3s but sounds like same thing happens from the previouse post. What are best Bitrates and Lengths for MP3s?
Just found the mp3 patch will try that as well.
I think my battery is running out faster as I just changed to 1.13 radio ROM, check my sig if your a major techie. HELLPPP!!
XDA jack of all trades master of none!..
Knightmare please help!
I don't believe my BAD LUCK! I applied the Unidirectional Patch and the MP3 rings patch , because I get ran them both and reset, Now the Screen is all messed up, the OWNER INFO SCREEN is all fragged up, and wont refresh to to propper display, tried soft reset, what can I do??
ANSWER: HARD RESET, MAKE SURE REGIONAL SETINGS ARE CORRECT. RESTORE FROM BACKUP. DON'T USE MP3 As Rings Patch OR Uniderectional Patch. I have just emailed [email protected] about this, but there firmware is so old and bad i dont hold much hope,
SOLUTION: had to buy a new phone that WORKS!
Can I use mp3's for notification with new textmessage???
or just wav files?
To use another file where do I have to put it??

It's a Software conflict
:shock: Yeah ... i think i know ur problem ... ther must be a software that u installed that is causing a conflict.
my BA wouldn't inform me if i recieved an sms and i found out that the program Effy-CJ with fonts 3.1 was the culprit ... :x :evil:
i uninstall it and all is well.
try going thru ur software installations to check which one is causing your MP3 ringtone not to play.
one thing though, even if i can set an Mp3 as my ringtone, how cum i cannot set Mp3 to notify me of sms or mms ???
any clues ???

I installed the cab file but I cannot see my mp3 files at any list. Can anyone explain how to select an mp3 file as a ringtone? Thanx.
find them in File explore,
bring up the drop down menu for the file,
Option, 'Set as ringtone' should there select it,
the mp3 will be copied to your '/windows/ring' folder
and set as ring tone.
thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I installed the englishmp3ringtone cab file and i was able to find the mp3 in explorer and under the sub menu I chose "set as ringtone" and even after a restart it's not set as the tone. Is there anything else I need to do?
I found out that after installing PocketMind Pocket Music the mp3asringtone cab was disabled. after removing the program the problem disappeared.
Quick question guys, does this patch and MP3 ring thing only work for wn2k3 or can it be equaly used on wm2k5?

Some sound notifications not working :-(

I just recently noticed that my ringer isn't working. Nor are a lot of other notifications. In fact, the only sound/notification working is the IM+ message received sound. When on the notification tab, I press OK and it doesn't let me close the window. Anyone seen this before?
Update: I can play wav files fine as sounds/notifications. But I cannot play wma or mp3 files in there. I've tried changing their default programs, but they just won't play. Any ideas?
I am now on the prowl for a cab that messes with the notification sounds just to see if it will get my registry back in line...
After a bit of investigating, it seems that I can only play WAV files and not the wma or mp3 files I also can select. Only when selecting wav files am I able to preview the sound and have it work.

[Q] Custom sounds are disappearing

This is starting to get annoying and I am hoping there is an easy solution. I have some ringtones and notification sounds that I like and have used on my last couple of phones. I created a folder called media on the internal sdcard. In that media folder I created another one called audio. I then put a ringtone folder and notification folder containing my audio files in that folder. Standard thing I have done on previous phones. I went into contacts and was able to assign one of these custom ringtones. I was also able to assign a custom notification sound as well. Everything seemed to be working. However, when I restart my phone, all of the ringtones and notifications I just assigned have reverted back to default and none of the custom sounds show up in the selection list. Anybody else experience this or know what it causing it and how to fix it. I have reset and reflashed my phone a couple of times and it is the same every time.
I have tried using root explorer and copying the files to the /system/media/ringtones folder and it still happens.
Problem solved. I was using the rescan media app to stop the media scanning so it wouldn't find the media files that I was using.

[Q] Desire won't retain custom ringtone

I've got a number of MP3 ringtones saved in the media/ringtone folder on my SD card.
Once upon a time, I could assign one of these as a primary ringtone and that's what I'd get when someone called. For the past few months, however when I assign an MP3 in Settings/Sounds/Phone Ringtone it reverts to a stock ringtone--''Windchime" I think it's called. Not unpleasant, but not what I want to hear.
I don't have the same problem with notifications or alarms, although I use the same MP3 files for those--can anyone help me sort it?
Make a folder on your sd card and name it Ringtones and all tones you put inside your phone will recognize as ringtones from settings.
Do the same for alarms and ringtones.

Thanks nlooooo, but I've done that and my MP3 files reside in just such a folder on the SD card. When I set a custom ringtone, either in Sounds or by long pressing music and designating the ringtone I want, the selected ringtone will work once, maybe twice, but a couple hours later is back to the Windchime.

[Q] adding notification sounds, what am i doing wrong?

Bought a new nexus 7, and tried to add notification sounds. I placed the files in the notification folder, but they won't show up. Do I have to use ogg?
having the same problem with alarm sounds.. couldnt find a solution, maybe someone here can help us
Did you try rebooting the N7 after uploading the sounds? Also, I have uploaded mp3 as well as ogg without problem.
