Hi
I have some .wav files on my SD card which I used to use as rng tones on my old pDA2K.
I cannot remember how to make this happen as none of them appear as options on the K-JAM?
Cheers.
Robin
Copy them into the Windows / Rings folder, and then you should be able to select them from the phone / menu / options
Or in the registries you can change the path where the setting app looks for the ring tones:
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory

How about if they are on my SD card?
I don't see a Windows/ Rings folder there.

Putting Ringtones on SD card wil slow reaction and may affect phone to
use default ring unstead of one of your choice
Seems to work fine from my MiniSD card, without any noticeable delay. I entered
Code:
\Storage Card\MP3
as directory. The weird thing is that (in the phone sound settings panel) it doesn't list playable files in that single directory, but files from the entire device (including the storage card). I suspect it can't handle the path I entered, so it does a recursive search from the top file namespace of the device (hence the list of all playable files). But that's just speculation
Will the Wizard play .mp3 files as ring tones or do they have to be .wav files?
Robin
Hm...I named the directory MP3.... Let me just ponder what kind of files I dropped in there :wink:
It doesn't seem to like ALL flavours of MP3. VBR is one of them. And it's quite difficult to restore the original setting: the sound control panel is still unable to find the original ringtones, like "Old phone .wma", despite the fact that I restored teh registry value to its original setting.
Where goes system sound files? Not ring signals
easyest way to install ring tones is to hold the stylus on the audio file, and on the menu you will find "set as Ringtone" and the file is copied to the ringtone directory
Yeah, but that's actually the problem: the file will occupie 3-5 MB of valueable internal memory, instead of the SD-card (which is relatively large).
I tried to install a WAV file, put it in the Rings folder and it was then shown in the ringtone selection also. I tried to play it but it didn't work, just silence.
Is there a limit to the size? I tried a guitar solo that is 3.5 mb in size.

i have an mp3 file that is an 8.06mb size file that is my ring tone.

thanks works a treat.
I think you should just use a part of your mp3 files (about 20seconds) because when you receive a call, it will not ring more than those 20s.. So you should use a wave editor on your computer, select only a part of your music, and then compress it in mp3 format (CBR for best compatibility). Your file will only be around 100Ko and you can just copy the ring you need in the "\windows\rings" directory, and store other on your sd card. if one day you want to chnge your ting, just replace another file in the "\windows\rings" directory...

That's not quite correct: it depends on your provider and voice-mail settings. I use no voicemail, and T-Mobile NL waits about 50-60 seconds until ending the unanswered call. If I set up my voicemail to answer right after the first ring, then my phone stops ringing before it even get's the chance to play the MP3.
So it depend on alot of circumstances.
Ok, I did a fast search and not sure what I am missing. I have some ring tones that I want to use and converted them to .wma, but have no idea what to do with them. I dumped them in the windows folder, but that did not work. What am I missing? Chad
All you have to do is copy the (I assume MP3) to a folder under my docs called Ring Tones then they'll show up in the settings under "phone." Just select the one you want and you're good to go. Enjoy.
Well I just tried that and I still do not see them. I tried the my documents on the storage card and on the rom. Am I missing somthing? Chad
Not too hard to do. copy the file into the file "ring" this will be in the windows folder on your device. Once there you should see it in the list for your ringtones.

What I do is copy any ringtone such as MP3 or WMA into the Sounds folder inside the Application Data folder in the root and it works.
Also if you want to assign special sounds such as Alarm sounds or music you can copy WAV files into the WINDOWS folder in the root directory and they will appear when you try to assign an Alarm sound.
Another thing that might interest you guys is that you can even assign special slide out sounds with a program that I will provide to you guys, but it must be in WAV format. ( you can always just crop a song and save it as WAV. That is what I do * editing program not available here)
Hope this answered your questions

That worked great! Thanks, Chad
I've been having some trouble setting a custom ringtone as an alarm on my X1. I have saved the file as a .wav and put it in the windows folder. It shows up in the drop down list, but when you select it, it automatically goes back to 'default'. Anybody know how to fix this?
what, anybody?
You converted it to a .wav or just saved it as a .wav ?
sounds like you might have the right extension, so it shows in the list, but if it's not a valid wave file it just goes back to default.

Drag the .wav file into this folder \my documents\my ringtones
It is not necessary to use wav files
If you have a mp3 file, just drop it into your phone

Sigh.....don't listen to this dude....if you have mp3, you can't just drop it into your phone.
You have to put it in the ring tones folder...like I said....

Yes, I forgot to say it must be in the ringtones folder
My alarm wont play MP3's.
I'm not having a problem with ringtones.
It's the alarm clock I'd like to play these sounds. In the alarm clock dropdown menu, the ringtones from the 'my ringtones' and 'sounds' folders do not show up. Previously, placing .wav files in the windows folder would allow them to appear there. And they do appear, but when they are selected, it just goes back to the 'default' sound (one short quiet beep).
The files are saved in .wav format. I've only been having this problem since updating my X1's firmware with the Sony Ericson Update Service.
Anybody know what to do?
I don't know if this works but try placing them in the windows folder, the my ringtones folder, and the my music folder.
I'm using a custom .wav file (converted the old SE Badbarber.MP3 to .wav) for the alarm and only had to drop it into the windows folder for it to show up in the list and be able to use it.

Didnt work, but thanks for trying.
Hello,
Where are the ringtones located on HD2?
I found some in Windows/rings and try to add custom ringtones (wma) to it but there are not showing in HTC ringtones setup menu.
Any idea?
Think you need to use .wave format and just copy the tone to the /Windows: Library. That will work.
You can use your personal music files to be your rington.
1. First copy the files to the /My Documents/My Ringtones folder on the phone.
2. Then from the Home screen slide to the Settings tabs > Sound & display > Ringtone
3. Select the file you copied over, and then tap Done.
Alternatively, you can set any music file as your ringtone by navigating to your music using File Explorer and tapping and holding the music file and selecting Set As Ringtone.
You can use a number of sound files that you downloaded from the Internet or copied from your computer, including *.wav, *.mid, *.mp3, and *.wma.

Convert your tone to .wave format and put it in the Windows library. It will work. I have done it plenty of times
** Try to use .wma format to, think it will work fine.

It's funny how even the simplest phones nowadays don't have any problems at all using mp3-files as sound-notifications, but a beast like HD2 can't support this

yes but we're livin' a WM world
(plus they have their own audio format, others don't. it's why they go to mp3 I guess)
It supports it

I used both ways and they both work fine for me. I dont use the WAV file anymore because the MP3 way is just easier for me as i use the MP3 trimmer to make my ringtones
If you go into the application data folder on the device, there's a folder named "sounds" put the mp3 sms in there and you'll be able to select them for sms notifications.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
it Worked
Hi,
I have tried to set ringtone files properties as hidden to prevent them being searched in media library, but it seems that sometime the system setting will change back to default ringtone as the mp3 files cannot be searched.
Thus i wonder is there any method to hide mp3 ringtones being searched in library, but still can be found by system, like .nomedia in android...
Thx~~
Nobody knows...??
NO way found up to now, been searching too
There is no way; even contacting HTC, they just said to add all the songs you want to listen to to a freakin' playlist.
What I did to minimise things was set the ID3 tags for all the ringtones to be by a band called 'ringtones', in a 'ringtones' album. At least this way it prevents the ringtones from being listed under the original album/artist.
SOLVED
Use total commander or resco file explorer, set the folder with your ringtones or any other folder you don't want to have in your player to hidden. Take out your SD card, restart your phone, select the music tab, it should say no music found, unless you have files on the phone you want picked up by it, put your SD card back in, and restart again. select the music tab. This WORKED for me, hopefully it will work for everyone else.
Where to put Alarm tones?
Hi!
Found a nice breaking glass sound and wanted to use it when i recive an sms, but that was not easy. Where shall i put the file?
I've tried : Rings inside Windows folder, My ringtones in My Documents, but it does not shows up where you change the Alert sound. The sound is in wave format, what more could it ask for?
