I can set an mp3 as a ringtone, but when I switch the phone off and on again, the ringtone has reset to a default ring.
Anyone know what I need to do?
I have the same problem
My phone is from Orange, where is yours from?
What the hell could the problem be, it makes no sense...
Why dont you download ringdroid from the market its free. It allows you to trim mp3s and create ringtones from them. It will also set a created ringtone as your default ringtone.
Just tested it and no problem after power off.
I used default music player, then menu, set as ringtone and it is working after power off. I got sim free phone.

Thanks for the work-around but I would like to know why my phone has this probem, especially as it may be part of a wider more serious issue...
If anyone else has this issue, please state what model you have.
Edit: Just tried Ringdroid and it works a treat! Still not happy with having to download it though...
My phone is from UK, handtec.co.uk and is a white sim-unlocked. And the ringtone resets to the default after i reboot my phone I will try ringdroid, hope it works.

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?

http://greysworld.com/polypo/files/novemberrain.mid

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...

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
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.

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.
Hi guys,
Dont hate on me if it's been answered before, but I have a question that I would really like a straight answer to. Before I had my Raph, I was raised on Nokia's. In this instance, when I have a full .mp3 track as my message tone, it would play, then when the phone was activated (unlocked or msg read) the song would stop playing. I would like someone who has to knowledge to think of a way that this setting can be replicated on the Raph.
It is annoying to no end that the only tones I can get that don't play for +3mins are small, low volume chimes that I can't hear in the car, walking with the phone in my pocket etc.
If a fix could be found, can someone post a link OR explain how this can be done.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried convert the music file to .wav format instead of .mp3
Ok just confirming. I can get the .mp3 file to play as my message tone. But it will play start to finish. I want a fix or mod that will stop it playing once I have unlocked the phone or turned the screen back on.

That happens when you put them in your ringtone folder, have you tried to put them in the root of your sd card then selecting them in the notifications menu?
as far as I know there is no thing like that. BTW Welcome Fellow Nokia to TP USER. I also only was a Nokia person and decided to try something new. Sure this thing doesn't have as many cool things as my Nokia E62 but the customizing that can be done is fun as hell.
.WMA seems to be the preferred Ringtone format from what I am seeing in the file system - yes, it will work with other formats.
I haven't found a way to stop playback once it has started; seems like it has to go through to the end of the audio file.
a way 2 stop it is 2 press down on the d-pad, like the direction down. It will stop. I was having the same problem with my fuze.
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.
Hello all. I am using a Huawei U8500 with CyanogenMod 7 (2.3.5-Slax-SP10-3) and have been having an issue with ringtones/notification/UI/unlock (a.k.a. all) sounds. Before, none of the sounds (except Music) would work on CM7, but I figured that out. It was the sound profiles that were overriding all my other attempts at resetting volumes.
However, while my sounds were disabled, I used the Music app to set a song as a ringtone to see if the sounds would work again. Now that I have solved the issue with the volumes, every single one of the sounds (again, except music) are replaced with the song that I set as my ringtone. When I go to Settings>Sound and try and select a new sound, all the previews of the sounds are even of that song. I checked the .ogg files in /system/media/audio and they still play the correct sound.
Now for the questions:
-Has anyone encountered this issue or something similar?
-If not, how does Android handle setting a song as a ringtone?
-Does it put the .mp3 file somewhere on the root phone storage? (If so, I could just delete or rename it and hope for the best.)
-Or, does it simply reference the .mp3 file on the SD? (If so, I could rename it so that it wouldn't be able to fetch it.)
Thank you very much for any help!
