hi there... when i can use mp3 as ringtones, why cant i use it for system and other notifications? alarms appointments?
could it be only a small registry thing? what do u say?
best regeards!
Hi,
Somehow mp3 for norifications aren't working, but wav will do for notifications. Just put them in your \windows folder (not in a subfolder) & you can select them in the 'sounds & notifations' panel. Try some other formats as wma as well & see which are displayed in the listbox & which aren't.
Cheers, M

How can I use one of my MIDI files as the SMS alert sound?
i've never been able to change any of the non ringtones to anything but sounds present on the predifined list myself
Not sure if you are able to use MIDI files as ringtones/alert sounds. You may need to convert it to WMA or, as I have done, WAV. Once converted just copy the files to \WINDOWS on your PDA and the sounds will appear in the list.
sms alert
I changed mine to this no probs!
& this..........
Yep, & this one for reminders
all
is there a way to;
A) change the actual volume of the alert (I know about turning vol up/down) but what I want here is a louder alert when I recieve a message.
B) can I download new wav files to add to the default ones with myxda2i?
B1) if the above is answered yes, can you advise how I install them please?
Thanks
Pete
I would like to add to this.
I have downloaded .wav files and copied them into the windows directory, but when I go to listen to them in the sounds and notifications section they don't play, this has happened to all .wav files apart from one so far.
Look for the Nokia sms sound file uploaded somewhere in this forum. it works on my imate pocket pc and is loud.

I've also noticed that many wav files are some how encoded in mp3. So they have a file ext of .wav but ppc will only play pure wav files. If you switch the file ext on the wav's that do not play to .mp3 they will sudenly play in windows media player. this will tel you that it is not pure wav encoding.
if you choose properies of the wav file on the pc
it should ms ad pcm as format then it's a pure bred

Hi,
On my qtek 1020, I had set up a mp3 song as my ringtone, but now I want to change it. When I click on other songs, i do not see the Set as ringtone option. I even deleted the song which was set as the ringone, but it still plays as the ringtone, and on other songs I still dont see a set as ringtone option. Whats the best way to change the ringtone?
Thanks
Go to Start->Settings->Phone to set your ringtone.
The ringtone you set is probably now in windows\rings
Hi,
Thanks for that. I was able to delete that ringtone by going to windows/rings but I still dont see "set as ringtone" options for other Mp3's that I have got. I copied an MP3 song to the windows/rings folder, but still dont see it as an ringtone options..any ideas How I could possibly set this up as a ringtone?
Could this have something to do with the file size?
if it's wm2002 it can only use wav ring tones
if it's wm2003 then it can only use wav and mid and wma ring tones
you can make mp3 to wma using the free program CDEX
If you have installed a media player that has associated itself with .mp3 then you will not be able to select mp3s in the settings. You will need to open the player installed and clear the association in settings. If this does not work search for "mp3 ringtone" and you will find the registry setting that you may need to manually change.
Hey,
I just can't manage custom alarm tones to work. No matter where I put them (Windows dir, Windows/Rings, My docs./My Rings) and no matter what format I use (mp3, midi, wav, wma) they just won't work. When I click the clock (M2D) -> Alarms -> and then click that small belt my sounds cannot be found in that dropdown menu.
Any ideas are highly appreciated!
Cheers
alarms are put in the /windows folder.
you can also use this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370481
and try this app..
I already tried putting them into Windows directory. I tried mp3, midi, wav and wma.. None of these worked actually. It's just not listed in that dropdown menu. Pretty annoying.
Cheers
i suggest you try what i offered..
the file i posted works perfectly on my Wizard...
I don't like to use 3rd party app for a thing that should work normally.
Cheers
first of all, the only alarms (wake up alarm, that is..) WM reads is wav.. by default
if you open clock.exe and check alarm sounds you will only see wav formats.
and they are found in the windows dir.
i'm not sure about M2D but i suggest you add a wave file called test.wav to your windows dir and check if it appears in the default alarm app of windows.
if it doesn't... I'd suggest either using 3rd party/a hardreset, or if the rom is problematic.. switch for one that doesn't have that problem.
i just tried putting a wav in my windows folder and it appears in the list.
I put a wav file in the windows folder, it showed up in the list, but windows wouldn't let me select it, when I select it, it will automatically just to Default Alarm Tone ! I have cool edit in my PC, I was wondering, if the file needs to be in a specific format (i.e. bit rate)? Any ideas? And there are a whole lot of types of wavs, adpcm, pcm, raw ...
EDIT:
Found it, here :
http://vanbeekbr.blogspot.com/2008/07/adding-custom-alarm-tones-to-windows.html
btw, I suggest using G-alarm.. besides the fact that it's very useful you can also use mp3s and waves.. create playlists for alarms...
Does somebody know how to force Leo to play ringtones with mp3 extension? I already added some mp3's to windows/rings folder, but system doesn't see them.
its probably easiest using the MP3 Trimmer on the phone under the "MULTIMEDIA" folder...
Put the mp3 file in the "My Documents"-folder in the root of the mobile, not on the SD-card.
That is to say:
root/My Documents/mp3file.mp3
This mp3-file will work for both ringtone and sms-tone.
Hiya!
I am very curious if my Random Ringtone app works on the Leo.
If anybody wants to try it that would be appreciated.
If it doesnt work I would of course make it work.
Thanks in advance...

and Random Ringtones
Meery Nwe yaer!
I have a folder called "my ringtones" in my documents on the device (not the sd card). Try adding some mp3's there! Works for me! You also wanna trim ur mp3's using a PC app couse the mp3 trimmer in WM sux bigtime!
Big thanks for You buddies for Your help but unfortunatelly - none works on my device. I already try to put my mp3 ringtone to My Documents and My Ringtones (later) folder as well, but system still doesn't see my mp3's . What's going on?. It can't be so difficult! Tell me - how do You set up Your ringtone on Your device? Settings/Sound&Display/Ringtone (or Notification Sounds)?
OK. After Soft Reset UMISS'es method works! Own ringtones are visible for system in My Documents folder. Thank You pal.

Hoi Gandalf
you should put the MP3 in : Computer\ HD2 T8585\\\My Documents\My Ringtones
Alarm sounds: are stored in the Windows dir

mp3 as ringtone
this setup is very simple:
take the built-in file explorer and go to mp3 folder. choose your favourite mp3 file, long tap on it and then "set as ringtone"
it works for me with my hd2

Hello
Do NOT waste valuable space from main memory for the mp3 ringtone which placed in My documents or /Windows.
Place the mp3 files in the root of the SD card without folders. It will show up and works great and You do not have to worry about flashing any custom rom. The files in the SD card stays.
Good luck
Happy new year

Pegasus,
Sometimes life is so simple. Thank you very much, your solution is the ONE. Works wonders.
reg. fred
for ringtones, u can have the mp3 in anywhere phone or SD memory, directly choose the file to be used as a ringtone in the file explorer...
for other notifications or messages or alarms, convert the file to wav and copy it to /windows folder ...then go to settings->menu->all settings->sounds and notifications n select the tune for the specific event.
HTC HD2 or iphone?
Hello guys. i was getting ready to buy an HD2 but now i see that simple things like diffirent mp3 for calls or for a caller or sms, alarms etc. are configured so hard, along with other hard questions like the difficult customizing of the hd2 have started make me thing again of the iphone. You people that alredy have an HD2 what do you suggest me? i do really care much about the easyness of synchronizing and the ability to synchro with other progs other than outlook. What would you suggest me?
Keep in mind,
if u use this Ringtone App u can change your ring directory as well as have multiple rings for each alarm.
thanks,
Keith
I used Mp3 trimmer to cut a song short. Now I cant seem to remove it from the device as I cant find it anyway. But it is still shoing up on the ring tone menu.

I dont seem to have a Windows folder on my HD2, but when trying to make the folder I was told I cant as it alreayd exists. Tryping the address into the bar tells me that it doesnt exist.... So I assume Windows Mobile Device Center is crap.

There's nothing difficult in changing the sounds. As you can see, there are many ways how to do that and they all work (for most users). There is nothing more simple then just copy your desired ringtones to windows folder and then just set it up.
Buying an iphone would be a terrible mistake, it's an old and inferior device compared to HD2.
MP3 Ringtone on SD Card
It's not recommended to save MP3 or any other big files into device memory. copy your MP3 files only to your "Storage Card".
It's so easy, just copy your MP3 song(s) to "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones" folder (and if you don't have "My Ringtones" folder just create one).
