I recently flashed my Topaz to a 6.5 ROM, and I'm loving it. It's slick, smooth abnd fast. My only gripe is that no matter where I seem to put an MP3, I never have the option of choosing anything but one of the three default rings as a ringtone:
Ring01 - WindowsPhone
Ring02 - Velvet
Ring03 - Flame
They're all the same!!
Surely Microsoft hasn't locked this down?
"oh listen! someone's got a Windows phone! let's point and laugh and joke at them with their gay ringtone that can't be changed!"
Theres two ways you can set the ringtone.
First you can select the mp3 file and from the menu select "Set as Ringtone"
or
Copy the mp3 file to /my documents/my ringtones and then select it from the ringtone list as normal
I don't have the option on right click menu to 'Set as Ringtone'
Placing MP3 in that location does not show it in the list.
Could this be a Cooked ROM issue?
I am using TOM Topaz from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526966
use file explorer, select and hold on the mp3 file, u will se options such as copy, paste and set as ringtones.
by the way " /my documents/my ringtones " this is the location in the device, not in SD card
Worked, thanks!
it's doesn't worked for me
I dont have "paste and set as ringtones", just only "pase" and just have 3 rings tone
Ring01 - WindowsPhone
Ring02 - Velvet
Ring03 - Flame
(
Someone helpme plz!
I use rw6828, ROM WM 6.5
Do you have a "/my documents/my ringtones" folder? What's in it? If you don't, create one and see if it makes a difference. Oh and "", to those who seem to think cooked roms are great and stable..
I've a similar issue... Rom in signature.
I've set a .mid file as ring. Anyway it's present in \my documents\suonerie. But it doesn't work. When I call it uses a different ring. And if I go into sound and notification settings I can't play that .mid for a preview, but it's playable with wmp...wazzup??
same problem with me I've made a folder on the sd card on my experia x2 named My Ringtones(this helped to put my mp3's there and the phone to recognize them as a ringtones) and when I enter my sounds and notifications it shows all the mp3 files I've put there and use as personalized rings and they work but sometimes when somebody call me my phone start ringing with some strange win mo default melodie(ugly SE melody) and I have to change it again with some of my own's but as u can guess it lasts just a few days and than the old story repeats........
any suggestions.....
Can't set ring tone for incomming calls
I loaded WM6.5 ROM on my Treo 750.
Everything is great except one issue...
... I cannot set the Incoming Call Ring Tone.
When I go into the options of the phone, it is set to "none".
I set it to "Vibrate and Ring", then set a ring tone.
When I save/exit, it reverts back to "none".
I tried mid ring tones, wma, and mp3.
I tried ring tone only and vibrate only also...
... But no matter what I set it to, it keeps reverting back to none.
It WILL NOT ring or vibrate on incoming calls.
The SMS, Voice Mail, Missed Call, and email notifications all work fine.
Oddly, when I go into settings, sound options, then notifications, the incomming call ring tone is set.
I can change it and it saves. But it has no affect.
And the options in the phone dialer still has "none" selected.
ANY Help would be great!
Thanks

Does the ring tone play in your settings?

Thank you for the reply!
Yes, it plays when I press the play button in settings.
Maybe you have an app with call profiles and the silent or mute one is activated. Something like Spb Phone Suite.
If you don't have another profile app installed, I would suggest a hard reset to fix the issue.

As far as I can tell, we are limited to using the in built message tones?
I can add new ringtones, and they appear when changing my ringtone, but when I try to change the message tone, the newly added WAV ringtones do not appear in the list, I am stuck with the preset crap.
I have a few I really want to use too.
If I am doing something wrong please let me know.
Put the WAV files in \windows\ main folder... It should appear in your message tones list...
Can't do it still, I've put it in the top windows level as well as the rings folder and still wont show up, I am so bored with the crap defaults!
sigh
Ummm :?: ... Try running the Add Ring Tone applet from the \Start\Setting\System\... Hope this helps as I am using my own customised WAV files for SMS tones on my O2 mini without any problems...
oh :?
ive tried adding the ringtone with the application, it appears in the ringtone list but will not appear in the list for sms tones.
arghhhhhh
Have a strange prob with my QTek9100.. suddenly it doesn't ring anymore... no matter what kind of ring tones i set in the options, I only get silence instead of the sound. When selecting ring and vibrate i get alternating vibrate and silence.. I tried custom rings thru registry editing and standard ring modes from the phone options.. no change -- always silence...
Any ideas on how to fix this? currently I only hear that I had the phone call after I missed it and the missed call notification plays -- which is kinda stupid to only hear the phone after the call is missed
thanks...
Do you install a new bluetooth stack?
nope... didn't install anything really that i know of.. and definitely no system apps.
open Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications and select event "Phone: Incoming call"
does pressing the play (right facing triangle) button play your ring tone? If not, try selecting another ring tone and try playing that.
could be ring tone is selected, but not available or incorrect format.
hope this helps.
if you have any audio player other than windows media player, you may find it has associated it self with all audio files?
Hi there.
I`ve bought like 2 months ago an XDA mini and i would like to change the tones for recieving messages.i tried to add the ringtones but failed.Can u pls tell me how i can add new ringtones for incoming messages.
Thank you
I assume you are talking about Notification Sounds? If so, you can do this by adding your sound files to the \Windows directory then under Settings -> NOtification Sounds you can change each notification sound to your personal preference. If the sound file is in the \Windows directory, it should appear in the dropdown list.
i dont think it works...i guess ringtones for incoming calls you can change....

What?! You changed the one under "Messaging: New text message", right? What do you mean by doesn't work. It shows in the setting page but when you receive an SMS, it doesn't produce the sound it suppose to give. Or you are not able to provide your very own customized sound?
No i`ve added the ringtones in /Windows ... and when i want to set up notifications .... i can see those ringtones when i`m setting incoming calls ... but when i want to setup incoming messages ... the ringtone doesn`t appear in the subfolder where the ringtones should be.

yup exactly...me too...
Oh. Ok, trythis.
Copy one of the WAV files (into your PC) that you are able to see from in the list of choices in Notification->Messaging:New SMS
Right click on it, "Properties"->"Summary"->"Advance" (in some cases, you maybe already in Advance).
You should see the BitRate, AudioSampleSize, Channels, AudioSampleRate, AudioFormat, of the WAV file.
Now, your job is to encode your customised WAV file with the EXACT values (you can easily do that with the Sound Recorder within windows).
Copy your encoded WAV into Windows, you should able to see now (you shouldn't require soft resetting the device).
Ringtones - can be MP3/WAV
Notifications Sounds - can be WAV/MID - NOT MP3 !
That is the most commonley made mistake - MP3s cannot be used as Notification Sounds! Just save them as WAV and put the as previously described in the Windows Folder and you are good to go!
Attached you will find a WAV File that 100% works on a MDA Vario ( Wizard )
Matza, of the top of my head the wav file should be 16bit and 22000hz or somink like that...
in simple the Wav file must be PCM Wav at a reducded quality for it to be used as SMS Ringtone
Is there any way of making my magician play my normal message tone, but shutup when I open it? (I have a long message tone - and I want to keep it) also would like to know if there is a fix for stopping full message alerts when in a call, and maybe change for a discreet tone.
message alert tone
Soory to other you but nobody is answering my blog, and you seem to have solved my problem. When i try to change my message alert tone ,hte only options i am given are the default message alerts, ive tried copying tones into the windows ring folder but still only get default tonesthe previuos process works fine for my ring tone, can you help?
Your notifications have to be in wav format. Or they will not work.
-This goes into the /windows folder
Ringtones can be in midi/wav or mp3 format
-This goes to the /windows/ringtones
Here are some wav files I made which you can try out

Hi All,
The ring tone on my M700 seems to cut out after 2 seconds..... The vibrate will still continue but the sound stops.
I have tried different ring tomes including the default wavs and it happens to those too.
I'm not using MP3's as ring tones and the RingTone0 script is correctly set "avpw0r" in the registry.
Anyone seen this before ?
It did work fine untill i flashed WM5 back after trying Mun's WM6.
Nogs
sorry nogs - i assume that the tone you are using is longer (eg., when played with windows media player), than what you are hearing when it rings...?
also, sorry to be slightly O.T, but how did you set your ring tone to use an MP3? can you do the same with notification tones such as for a new text message?
Hi,
Yea the tone is about 30 seconds long and plays fine if you go through the phone option in system.
The above post says i'm using wavs for ring tones, not MP3's. You cant assign MP3's to SMS notifications. I may be wrong there as there may be 3rd party apps that allow you to do this pocket phone ZEN may be one of them.
Anyways i think it may have something to do with MS Voice Commander trying to announce the callers name but failing.
