HI
Before i start i have checked other posts, but no one seems to be having the problem that i am having.
I have a .wav file called Mail.wav i place it in the windows directory of my mda vario. I go to the sounds and notification program make sure enable sound for events and programs are selected. go to the notfication tab and choose an event. I then find my wav file in the drop down list box. i select it. when i try to play it through the play icon, no sound is heard. when i try to play any of the other default sounds from the drop down list , they all play correctly.
My wav file is ok there is nothing wrong with it, becuase when i play it through the vario's media player i hear the sound correctly.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance

Don't know how to solve your problem but you could try converting your wav to mp3 or wma and copy them to Windows/Rings and try again.
HI
Thanks
tried that didnt work. I think for notifications you need to put the sound file in the windows directory. That way they appear in your drop down list. I just cant understand that the sound file plays ok in th e windows media player , but not when you click the play button on the notification screen.

I don't have your unit, but I remember having the same problem some where with some poorly written software.
Copy one of the 'ok'(playable) sound-file (WAV) from your PPC to your PC. Right click on it and then select Properties -> Summary (Advance). Double check the information inside (i.e. Bit Rate, Audio Sample size, Sample rate etc). [ I'm not sure you can just do it in your PPC ]. Try confirm that both the 'ok' and 'non-ok' ones are having the identical properties. If not, try to make them match see if this helps.
hi.
thank you for the tip
did as you suggested and found out that the notifications are in .pcm format. I downloaded one of the audio conversion tools .and performed the conversion into the associative .pcm format. placed the conversion into the windows directory of the device. I went to the notification screen selected the sound file from the drop down menu . pressed play and it WORKED . can't thank you enough for your help
loving the vario even more

No need to install additional software as suggested by Bechai. Asim's method is enough.

Wrong. O2 XDA mini use WE2003 so it can not be done as your way. The simple way for this topic as I had, install TCPMP soft. In Options>setting>select page>File associations then click MPEG Audio files or what kind of music files which you want to set as your XDA ringtones.
CHEER!!!
Thanks... viet......
:twisted:

I have a O2 MINI. ROM 1.11.00 Radio 1.12
I had installed this fine and the mp3 tones were working jsut fine, till a few days back, i was installing applications like Fonix voice and Audionotes etc.... then i unistalled audionotes, and a few other applications and games i longer used.... and then all of a sudden my Mp3 ringtones stopped working.
when i click on the ringtone, it says that there is no application associated with this file or it is corrupt. But then when i open windows media players and open the same file it works 100%. I then installed tcpmp and associated the mp3 files.
then when i click on it, it says that the file is not found make sure that the path etc is correct or not, but when u open it individually in the player it works.....
Help me out, what should i do.... i must have deleted another file that day or something....
What should i do... help me? Would a Hard Reset work.
Thanx in advance
have u copid ur mp3s to ur rings folder or play it someother way? in mini al u need to do is copy the mp3 to the windows.rings folder and then access them through the phone setting.. sweet n simple
Hi all,
i have a strange problem with the windows system sounds that does not seem to be ROM specific and here it comes:
Fresh installed device with own assigned system sounds (all wav files copied into the windows device folder) = Everything okay.
After a while (mostly some days) when the system sound is due, it only plays that short default "beep" instead of the assigned sound. The setting in the registry is still as okay as the sound setting itself.
When you open the specific wav file in Media player, it says: "Error 0xc00d0012"
Overwriting the file with a working one solves it temporarily again.
In my case it is the sound for IM+ messenger (when contacts go offline). It does not matter what sound you choose for this event.
I have read threads in other forums where users have the same problem but with other windows events/sounds so i don't know if this is to blame IM+...
What the hell is going on there ?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Scholler
I also have a similar issue, which I noticed only happening since the rom was upgraded by Vodafone.
I have a wav file set as new text message, but after a day or so, all I get is a beep. The file is unplayable but is you over write this file with a saved version, then it works again for another day or so.
Does it need to be a WMA file instead?
cheers
Neil
Hi Wheelie,
i don't think so but i will try it with a wma and see how it will behave...
Merry xmas,
Scholler
Okay, i tried it with a wma and it looks better now...
But i really don't understand why...

ive neva used .wma files i always assumed it had to be a .wav nice to know tho as .wma's are much higher quality
Ok, before i posted this i searched high and low and really couldn't find a strait answer. Here is what i am trying to do... I have a bunch of cool sounds... I would like to set these sounds as key tones... you know, like when i dial a number on my key pad.
So i got all the files in order, converted them to .ogg, and placed them in /system/media/audio/ui and renamed them key1.ogg key2.ogg etc.... Well nothing happens, i cant even play the file, it says its "unrecognized" by the stock media player and Rockplayer. anyone have any ideas?
I read somewhere that the "program" that plays these files will only recognize certain codecs or something, That is a little outside my AO (area of operation)....any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys.
Trouble with the phone, the phone rings only once and goes silent mode, can somebody come across this and solved the problem.
He would put different firmware, the result is not changed.
Regards
I have the same problem, would appreciate a fix
This problem has to do with the sound file that you are using. The sound file is missing android_loop metatag if it is only ringing once. If the ringtone doesn't loop in the preview on your phone then it is missing the tag. You can check for the tag on your computer by opening it with vlc player and go to tools->media information->metadata. Here's instructions to add the tag to whatever file you want I find on Google. I used it myself to get my ringtone to loop.
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'.
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone.

But the problem is when it on vibrate! It vibrates once then switches to silent mode. A me development is that it plays sounds even in silent mode
All of a sudden my sms notification sound doesn't work anymore. I try to look into it, finding out that the file is still in the Notifications folder and evetything, only to discover that in Play Music all my music library is also gone! Simply vanished! Of course, all the files are still on the device, accessible and playable through the file explorer (even with Play Music), but in the library they're nowhere to be found. None of them. Also, when selecting a notification sound in the (default, preinstalled) messaging app, I just don't see the 3 files that I myself have put in the Notifications folder.
I've tried re-copying the files to the device and nothing happens. Play music keeps telling me to copy music on my device via USB ..
I'm running Cyanogen OS 12, all stock, but this happend in medias res, so to speak, I've been using the OS since it finally came out. I've been looking for an in-call sound recorder though the other day and tried a few (none of them working properly), tried different settings in them. Might this have been the cause of my troubles? Also, please someone help me how to sort this out, it's driving me crazy!
Edit: I have now tried to reinstall Play Music and the BS Player, in hope that maybe I will have some drivers reinstalled and everything will turn out right. Well, it didn't.
This afternoon I found out that not only my audio files, but also my pictures and videos are not recognized by any gallery-software. Not the Cyanogen Gallery, nor the Google Photos app. Nor the camera app. I can still see all the files on the device (I have tons of photos) in the File explorer, but not in the designated apps.

Workaround/Solution:
1. Delete instances of .nomedia files in the root of your sd card
2. Go to Music folder-----Create another folder in the Music Folder----Move ur songs into this folder . Now the files would appear in the multimedia player and play just fine.
3. Similarly create another folder under DCIM/Camera and move ur pics into the new folder. They will now appear in the gallery app.
======
The above is at best a workaround and I still dont know why the stock media players and gallery wouldn't recognise files in the stock directories.
I hope some senior dev or enthusiast may like to shed some light on this issue.

Thank you so much for answering! I was almost set that I'd have to re-flash the rom .. which would be rather inconvenient, as it's my exam period and I really don't have much time.
Anyway, I was thinking - Cyanogen OS 12.1 OTA is just about to be rolled out. Maybe if I wait for it to come out, it would fix my base problem? I know it's not a clean flash, but still..

Do you think it would possible to somehow "reset" the existing .nomedia files? Or if I just deleted them, would they be (properly) reset even if I don't move my media files?
Just thinking Also, would you happen to know where I should look for the .nomedia files in my root? I wouldn't want to miss any.
Hi, I am on different phone and came here for searching same problem. Well in particular your problem, as suggested above, deleting .nomedia files will do the trick.
Download es file explorer and search for ".nomedia" and delete all. Then again perform deeper search and delete them.
Sometimes clearing data of media storage also help(settings >apps>all>media storage>force stop>clear data)
What problem I am facing is, the no media files are keep coming upon restarts. Very annoying and doesn't go even after restored to earlier back up...
Anyone who knows solution for this, his help will be greatly appreciated.
