1. Where did you put your ringtone?
2. did you make any tweak to the ringtone path?
3. Which rom are you using?
4. did you try the "1d" ?
Strange... I have used a lot of the G4 ROMS here and I haven't had that problem. Make sure that you saved your ringtones in the correct folder, and everything should be fine from there...
I had the problem when installing an audio player and assigned the mp3s to this player.
Try to let windows handle the mp3 files and uncheck the file association in the player preferences. Then windows can play mp3s again...
I put the ringtone in the rings folder in the Windows directory, and which tweak are you talking about? Can you explain the tweak please maybe this will solve the problem
thanks
I have the same problem, with 6.0, I was able to use any mp3 ring on the phone. Now with 6.1 they don't work.
I moved the ring back and forth from the My ringtone folder, and the windows folder. I can use Audio Mgr to set the custom ring to the phone, and it works until I open the phone menu/options, it reverts back to the pre-loaded ring. The custom ring doesn't show up in the options list, but is still in the Windows folder, or My Ringtone folder.
There's another thread in the forum. WM 6.1 has a size limitation for mp3 rings, you have to cut them down to around 8secs of play
I pasted the link for the cab file for the trimmer app. Works fine on my Tilt

as advised, i have put a few of the above files in my windows/rings directory.
When i try and play them from the phone setup, its just beeps and boops ??
do you need to install something first before you use the above for ring tones??
ali i am also having the same problem (running o2 rom)
Has anyone been able to play midi ring tones on ppc2003?
if so what ringtones, or what program was used to play it (if any)
cheers
yes, i run midi tones no problem. as I posted before.
try this one see if it works ok on yours
http://greysworld.com/polypo/files/novemberrain.mid
just put it in your /windows/rings dir and select it as a ringtone
and try it out
i have tried it on the file you posted, and it worked. however any other midi file i try to use doenst! that doenst make any sense! :shock: also, does anyone know how to use mp3s as ring tones
some work
I've got the tunes on my XDA. Some work, some don't...
They all work on my siemens s55 though, and sound top notch!
My favourite out of the ones that do work is black adder, this has replaced a .wav of bad boys I was using for a few weeks. Wonder whats next...
Martin
Hi....
thought this would play tones out the 'box'?
when I copied those files over.... now when I add a ringtone the only option I have is wav ? :?
any ideas?
cheers
There is a utility called PSMPlayer which can save a regular MIDI file as a Ringtone. This saved MIDI format is compatible with WM2003.
how to do it:
1) open psmplayer
2) file> open > locate a midi file on your system.
3) play it to see if it sounds ok
4) click the RED circle icon
5) give the poly ring tone a name
6) tick the box "ring tone mode"
7) click ok, this will ask for a place to save the file to. Then click save
8) close program
9) copy the file you just made to your windows/rings dir.
there you go, a working poly ringtone
PS thanks to sheran_g for the link to the proggy
but somehow the files don't sound good? like the speaker breaks up or something?
Yeah i got the same thing..
they dont sound good and sometimes they are change to a lower Volume very low.
Any Ideas???
:?
yeah me too,
Can anyone (developers included) create a guide to have GOOD sounding polyphonic ringtones on the xda ???
Free Burgers* waiting
*meat flavour :wink:
This seems like a shortcoming in the Qtek/XDA. There are only 6 fixed instruments on it. When creating your ringtone, you need to figure out what the instruments are so that you get the best sounding tone. Also, there seems to be no volume regulation so that's why it sounds really bad (as if your speaker is going to blow :wink: )
In my personal opinion, WM2003 midi ringtones have a loooong way to evolve yet.
I use 2 programs from acoustica.com pull out about a 10 second piece of a midi file and convert it to a wma file and then stick that in the rings folder. It's about 12k in size and sounds great! Good luck! - Jim
may one ask what the two programs are you use from accoustica?
I cant find any that say about midi..
cheers,
Ian.
Hi,
Is it possible to get mp3s as ringtones to MDA2? For midis, it's only a little plugin, isn't there same kind of plugin for mp3?
edit: Subject updated
ms like to push their WMA so thats the easiest thing to use
you can use a program like CDex which is free to convert mp3 to
wma
Well that might be the easiest way. Anyone have an idea why wma is allowed only as ringtone? It can't be assigned as alarm for example...
yeah it's odd guess they made the addon for rings because people wanted to have odd phone ringtones
and maybe the demand was not big on normal notifications so they dident bother
maybe it'll be in CE 2005 if it's not already supported in 2003SE
It's not supported in 2003 SE, I have installed it on my pda. I was hoping that more formats would be supported but no.. :?
You ca use MP3 for ring tones but you need WM10, In WM2003SE just ver 2.20 have WM10 .
wm10
i have xdaIIi which i was pleasently suprised to find has wm10 - however i can't find a way to use mp3 as ringtone - how is this done?
mp3 set as ring tone
this cab file let you set the mp3 tone as ring tone in your xda just install in your xda and choose your mp3 from the explorer and press with hold you will see in the drop menu set as ring tone.
With the Himalaya device?
Regardless of OS version?
I use caller id version 1.20 (build 18567)... i can assign mp3 ringtone for my contact... but i don't know whether this is because i use wm2003se ver. 2.20 chs or just because of the caller id.
anyone else want to try?
mp3 as ringtone
you can download audacity software, you can edit your favorite mp3 files and set the same as your ringtone....
Can anyone advise?
I've installed EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB as recommended on another topic here but am having no luck adding ring tones.
Viewing mp3s stored on my storage card I don't get the option to install as a ringtone by holding down over it.
If I look in the phone settings under system, I can see all the mp3s I have placed in Windows/Rings but if I select one & then press play no sound is heard. The only tone that does work is the default tone? Even stranger the other default tones that were installed on the phone such as bass, old phone & 02 tone are still listed but in the actual win/rings folder have disappeared.
If I go into Phone Contacts & try to assign ringtones for individuals it won't display any mp3s. Is the EnglishMP3SetRingtone.CAB meant to enable this to display MP3s?
This is all happening on an XDA 2i running Win 2nd Edition version 4.21.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.

i cant set mp3 as ringtone
i have execute cab file and add registry to wm registry
can u explaint how to install it ?

The problem as I found is to do with either Pocket TV or pocket Divx. Can't remember which but if one of these is installed it stops MP3 as ringtones being displayed once you've installed the .cab.
Other than a hard reset I couldn't find away around it.
Now... I've got my PDAViet Mysterious running, and I simply love it. Only problem, the WMP equilizer kills my ears. I loved it back with Audio Manager with .0.5b.
The problem with the ones I see now? They also scan your device, which makes all the ring tone files that the .05b audio manager made show up on my shuffle.
Can someone please give me a .cab that is the same as the one in .05b?
Edit: Somehow, working with the registry, I've got it detecting only the storage card, solving the problem. For the courious, I just changed both the values that were at "/My Documents" to "/Storage Card" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/HTC/audiomanager/config."

Hi everyone.
I just got a used TP. I am thinking about flashing a new rom, when i enter the boot loader at the very top it says security unlocked. does this mean that this phone has been previously flashed? only other phone i have ever done is my mogul.
Tony
I dont think so
I believe that they all say that, what you have to look for is the SPL version... My Touch Pro (Unlocked) shows the following information...
Security Unlocked
RAPH800 MFG
SPL-0.25.CMONEX
MicroP-Raph (LED) v0C85
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Serial
I think, as stated, that the main concern you should have is the SPL since that is what you have to flash to unlock the Touch Pro.
Hope this helps.
Yep I just unlocked the SPL so now the task is to find a good rom to flash.
T.
Now if I can just find a Rom that allows me to use MP3's for text messages as well as ring tones, this is my biggest heart ache with windows mobile.

I don't know about txt messages, but the ability to use mp3 for ringtones has been around since WM5. Simply get whatever you want as a ringtone to a folder called ringtones or my ringtones. Alternatively, the HTC music player will allow you to set whatever song you are playing as a ringtone.
Yes you can use any mp3 you want for a ring tone. However WinMo makes you use .wav files for system sounds such as SMS or MMS. This irritates the hell out of me. We can make our phones work as a car alarm remote, wifi hotspot and play Xbox 360 yet I can not seem to find a way to use the same mp3s that I have for ring tones for incoming SMS and MMS.
i do believe if you make a copy of an mp3 and put it in my docs/ringtones you will be able to select it for a tone for sms/mms. but it wont quit, it will play the whole song. (iirc) and mp3 trimmer will break it up to a short tone. it has been a while since i use the stock sounds now, but i believe it works that way. i have even had short wav vids that would show up in sellection list, but would only play the sound.
