Ringtones and alarms on ICS - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have some questions about the ringtones and alarms on ICS.
1. How could I set a mp3 for the alarm tone? I copy a mp3 file to the alarms folder but I can not set it.
2. I want to set a ringtone to a contact when calling, but not for notifications, is this possible?
Thanks and best regards.

1. In the alarm clock you can use the previously added music "on call". How? Read below.
2. Set, you can use any player, which is a function: "set as ringtone" or "use as a phone call."

I think alarm tone is in .ogg format ... !!

[Q] Calendar alarm tone

Hi,
I just got a Samsung Vibrant and I'm having trouble selecting an mp3 as a default tone for the calendar reminder. Here is what I've been doing step by step:
calendar - create - then I set up all the details (location, etc) and click on "Alarm" to set the Alarm and then "Alarm Tone" to try to select the mp3 but I can only select from a a pre-selected sounds list. I have 2 questions:
- Can I select an mp3 as my alarm tone?
- Can I set an mp3 as a DEFAULT alarm tone so that I don't have to do the same thing for ALL my calendar events? (I have A LOT of them)
I have found an app that does exactly what I want, so I'm thinking this is not a native function on the android calendar called Calendar Event Reminder (cannot post link here). I find this weir though because this is a simply function that even lower end smartphones have.
cheers

Ringtone problem in alarm

I am having ringtone problem in alarm in Liquid Metal S120. There is only default ringtones available. I want to use my favorite ringtone in alarm. Please anyone suggest how to choose my favorite ringtone.
Can you use File Explorer (ex. Astro) to select your favorite sound file? If you can, go to your file then press and hold till the menu displayed. Select “set as” then “ringtone”.
I try to help, but I don’t use that model. Hope this help.

Thanks for you reply. I am grateful to you, but it seems not working for alarm rings.
You need to either create an alarms folder and put your ringtone into it or copy your ringtone into the existing alarms folder.
Connected to the computer, create a Media \ Audio \ alarms, alarm clock can be set in their favorite ringtones

MINICM9 change ringtone

Its a stupid question! But, how I can change the ringtone in MINICM9?
1. settings
2. sound
3. phone ringtone
Sorry! Double Post.
Ans how can I use my own MP3's?
download a ringtonepicker from the market, standard android doesn't let you choose own mp3's, but with a third-party ringtonepicker it will work.
go to music and long press song or mp3 and set as ringtone. depends on how you access those mp but usually does the trick
Create the folder
sdcard/ringtones for your call ring tones,
sdcard/notifications for your message notifications,
sdcard/alarms for the alarm tones.
Any mp3 you put in these folders will show up in the list for selecting the tones
Ok thanks!

ringtone option is missing..

hi guys.. Please help me with my galaxy note.. My phone suddenly change its ringtone (whatsapp, call ringtone, sms, etc) to default ringtone by itself.. And when i want to change it again the option is missing.. Could anybody help me to solve this problem??
Whatsapp tone can be changed by to its settings.
For Messages too I think it can be by going to its settings. ( I am just guessing because I am a Samsung user too)
For call,ringtone and SMS try to change via your MUSIC PLAYER or FILE MANAGER.
Open your x ringtone in music player, go to options, choose SET AS, and then Ringtone.
If that is also not available try by long pressing the .mp3 or .ogg file and choose SET AS and then as your Ringtone.
Done.

music not available for alarm clocl

Hello,
i'm using the latest surnia official build. When i create a new alarm and select "Music" as alarm sound the file browser opens and shows me my albums. But all mp3 files are greyed out and i cant select them. I can play them with the music player. What am i doing wrong?
@Editor: could you please correct the typo in the headline (clocl -> clock). Thanks!
I just found out that i can see and use .ogg files as ringtones. Also the ringtones are not played. Neither when selecting it in the dialog nor when the alarm is supposed to go off.
