Setting MP3's as ringtones on your HD2 - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If you want to set your MP3's as ring tones on your HD2, just go to your storage card select my documents and create a new folder called (My Ringtones). Then go to your music, hold down on the file to copy. Now go back to to the folder you created (My Ringtones) and hold down in an empty area and select paste. You now have your music file, click it once to open the file, then hold down, you will see set as ring tone. That's it.......enjoy.
Just a quick note....you can now see your ringtones, IE...when you do an edit on your contacts, go to ringtones and there you will find your mp3's.

Or you could just go to your music files in File Explorer and hold down on the
music file you require till the option window opens up and scroll to the bottom,
you will see 'Set as ringtone' as one of the options.....

Using MP3 trimmer is the best way,why bother using up more space than need be or ringtones when you can just use MP3 trimmer to save the fav parts of whatever tunes it is you choose.

that works if i go to program folder and select album....
but i usually go to programs folder and select pictures and videos....
i just think that program gives u more options to do with pictures ... editing and so forth...
there are two ways to look at pictures... through album program or pictures and video program..... not sure why there are two..? the album program i guess is more finger friendly and doesn't show u videos
i was trying to get 100media folder the default folder opened for pictures and video program... i did the steps u stated above but that only seems to work for album program
sorry, misunderstood you. I use resco photo to do all the extras with my photos, it is much more user friendly than the default. You can set it to open on any folder or even last used folder. As for the pictures and video, I'm not sure. I would'nt mind a similar reg hack for the default file explorer. good luck

[Q] Wallpapers in .nomedia folder?

If, hypothetically speaking of course, I had some pictures in a folder containing a .nomedia folder to hide them from Album, is there a way to use them as wallpaper? I have tried setting the wallpaper using Astro as the selector instead of album and I can browse to the image and select it but then it freezes and never gets to the screen where you crop the paper. Also, even when using "normal" images, I have noticed that when I go to change the wallpaper it will hang after I "Select wallpaper from" Pictures, necessitating me pressing the back key and having to restart the process. It always starts the second time but is quite slow.
Any ideas?
I think you can use those pics as wallpaper by browsing to them with a filemanager....
Then just push on the photo and select the menu button in the lower left corner.
Select set to background...
That should work...

Can't set mp3 for ringtone

Ok, I'm kinda embarrassed by this, but I can't seem to set mp3 for ringtone as of today. I know I did it before, either in music player or in file explorer by longpressing the file and selecting "set as" option. Today, I tried to change my ringtone and none of the menus don't have "set as" option anymore. Is it the Moto update?

Here is one of the way to use .mp3, .ogg or .mid as your ringtone.
1) create directory /sdcard/Ringtones
2) put your favorite ringtones in the directory
3) Restart/reboot to refresh media listing
4) Menu -> Settings -> Sound ->Phone ringtone -> Android System (if Any)
5) Choose your ringtone file
For Notification
1) create /sdcard/Notifications
2) put your favorite ringtones in the directory
3) Restart/reboot to refresh media listing
4) Menu -> Settings -> Sound ->Notification ringtone -> Android System (if Any)
5) Choose your ringtone file
This works on N1, SGS and RAZR
Good luck.
Ok, tnx. But I should be able to use "set as" option in menus. Or not?
br Zola
I use that method because,, I also cannot find the 'Set as' in RAZR . Well, it is just one of the way it.
Thank you, used your method, works just fine.

The only way to do it on this phone is to go to the stock music player and choose the song. Play it and hit your menu buttons it give u a option then to use it as a ring tone. Or u can do the steps above.

Yes, I had the same need. If it were MP3 files, I'd lead you straight to MP3Gain. But they're OGG files.
So, you need Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). It's free, open source, for Linux ,Windows, etc.
How to do it (I did it on Windows XP):
Open Audacity
Drag all the OGG files whose volume you want to change, on to the Audacity window
Audacity will open each file in a separate track (you can actually play them all together!)
Press <CTRL><A> to make sure you selected all tracks
Go to the menu Effect/Amplify and choose how much you want to amplify the sounds. If the "OK" button gets disabled, then you must tick the option to allow clipping (some points with distorstion)
Press the Preview button to preview and make sure there's not too much clipping (or any at all). If it's just a notification sound, not a big deal
Happy? Press OK to accept the amplification
Un-select the tracks (click somewhere else with the mouse cursor or press <CTRL<SHIFT><A>
With the cursor, select all the track of only one track (sorry - I didn't find a key combination for this)
Menu File / Export Selection, and choose OGG format
Repear for each one of the tracks.
Hope that helps.

get a 3rd party app like "zedge" and just download a ringtone version of the song... or "Ringtone Maker" from google market, that way you can make it a system file, versus loading up a 5 MegaByte when someone calls..... that will probably create lag.
I use PowerAMP to play my music, and they have a feature built-in to make a ringtone version of the current song you are playing - that's a good route too!
thanks i have downloaded ringtone maker but how do i use it? i cant find any instructions

select a song (the song you said you like) and it should bring up a graph.
Your going to select a window of when you want the song to start and finish.
E.g. Start 0:30 in... end at 0:45. It will save it in a ringtone format for you to select in Settings >>>> Sounds>>>

When you select the song, click the green arrow to the right and select edit. THEN the graph will pop up.
