I have tried this several times, even contacted orange, but am now getting conflicting information
The manual says mp3 files can be used as a ringtone
orange then advised me to move the files into the /rings folder
However, the device cannot recognise them
I've now been told by orange the device does not support mp3 files at all!
I then told them that I can play them in Windows Media Player and was told the device shouldn't be able...
Any ideas?
Try the attached file; works for me on my SX66.
How is this installed, and into which folder(s) on the Pocket PC?
just move into any folder...and...tap on it.. it'll automatically install...
just as simple as 1-2-3...
Tried that, no change...
I have a file called bigbrother.mp3 in windows/rings folder, but this is not being recognised
If I move any other type of file (.mid .wav) into this folder, then I can set those as ringtone
I can also setup any other ringtones from the start/settings/system/add ring tones
What next?
WAV ringtones...
Hi! I also had issues getting an MP3 to play as a ringtone... Not sure if it was due to the file size or the file type.
My work around was to use a tool to slice and dice the file to
1. Make the ringtone duration 20 seconds
2. Convert the file to WAV
3. Increase the gain so the ringtone is louder than original
There are tons of free applications to do this... I usually download todays' most popular from http://www.download.com ...
Enjoy!
Hi There,
Try renaming bigbrother.mp3 to a smaller name i.e big.mp3
I had an MP3 that wouldn't display in the list until I renamed it to a smaller name, then it became available and worked succintly.
let us know how you get on

No, no change
I was wondering of the file is too large, so uploaded a smaller one at 0.9MB, but this too was not recognised
The only conclusion I can come to is the orange SPV M2000 (QTEK 9090) does not support mp3 files as ring tones, only mid and wav
That still doesn't match the manual though (clearly states "use mp3 files as ring tones")
Update to latest rom (1.40.00 ?) That should fix it - I had the same problem - updated rom & voila
I've tried the latest orange ROM 1.40 and as really unstable and went back to ROM 1.31
I'll try again and see if there is any change
If you convert a MP3 file to Wav or WMA, then you would be able to set it as a ringtone (by right clicking it in your phone).
WMA is comparitively smaller than WAV, so I personally recommend WMA. I am converting files from ""Microsoft Digital Media Edition""Audio Converter" http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/dme/Music.asp#audio.

Just upgrade. This is an issue solved long ago. Newer ROMs are more stable, just get used to them
after you have your file in the phone, make sure you put it in mydocuments/my music folder on MAIN MEMORY, then go to file explorer and find it, hold down the stylus on the song mp3,wma,midi you want and there will be an option to set it as ringtone.
easiest way to do it..
anyway now that this has been answered, i keep a 2gb minisd card full of mp3s on my phone and i need an app that will let me cut a small (30 - 60 sec) clip .mp3 and be able to send it via bluetooth, it doesnt have the option to beam built-in but it would be easier. does anyone know of such a program? (for the phone not for a PC)
again sorry for the thread hijack, theres just no need to create a new one.
I've updated the ROM to the latest version from orange
The ringtones are still in the correct folder
Also tried right click and set to ringtone
Still no change, none of the mp3 files are recognised
It does look as if it is a misprint then in the orange handbook
Note this is an orange SPV M2000
Found out why I had previously downgraded to an old orange ROM
The one (currently) on the orange website is faulty when used with the camera... and causes an internal error
Works perfectly on my i-mate jam
Ya, it not work on M2000/O2.
I think ,this causes the system do no identify MP3 type(you can see the
files property).
Please change .mp3 type to WMa or WAV, then you can enjoy.
doesntwork on my xda 2... i got set it as a ring tone, click it , then nothing else happens :O/
This can be caused if a third party app takes control of the .mp3 extension. I installed a media player and it took .mp3 control away from WMP10. in order for your phone to use mp3 as ringtone it has to be associated with WMP. I had to use pocket tweak to re-associate mp3 to WMP. and this cleared my issue.
ooh, i think i have pocket tweak somewhere, makes me so irrate when other phones less complex can use mp3 ringtones with no fuss and bother. infact this phones annoying ime more and more , its so faddy!
Is there away to make an MP3 or another sound file as the boot sound for our phones? I found a pretty cool boot animation that I would like to try and the sound file came as a seperate download and in MP3 format
Dang it, answered my own question
Conver MP3 to WAV and replace system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Is anyone elses Google Music archiving or collecting their system sounds like ticket, camera click, video record, etc? I found that odd, but not sure if it's just me, or something I did or what. Basically If I'm hitting next next to try and find a song I like, its pulling those system sounds up and plays them. Very odd...considering they are OGG extension.

That is pretty strange, I was under the impression that Google Music would only contain music that you specifically uploaded...maybe you fed it a list of all the music you wanted uploaded and accidentally included a wrong folder?
As for the OGG part, Google Music plays nice with OGG files. I uploaded some ~40GB of OGGs from my laptop when I first signed up for it no problem. It's just a more compressed audio format but Google Music, like most media players that aren't iTunes or Windows media player do.
You may put an .nomedia file in folders you dont wanna show in app...maybe it work.
Quickie....is it possible to change touch sounds? Currently on Jellyverse, (All hail Shadow_god), im getting a bit worn on the "bloop'bloops". i know i can turn that function off but.....there was an app once that changed the ogg sound file via playstore but didnt work too great
Your touch sounds reside in system/media/audio/ui folder.
You can push different sounds from other ROMs. (Copy and paste)
If you pull from other ROMs and put on your SD Card you can preview the sound with the music player before you push them.
Also if you have an mp3/4 to ogg converter you can make your own sounds.

So i got playing around and i changed my boot sounds found various websites. Ure stock boot sound is in root floder/system/media/audio. There names are PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg they are .ogg vorbis format ogg flak will not work try to keep the sound short and sweet 3 or 4 seconds cause of fast booting and of coarse always make a back up before changing sys files. And set all ure permissions before you modify
I have now tested also works on lollipop
Tip: You can record audio via the builtin voice recorder and change the extenstion to .ogg then rename your files accordingly.
