Hey guys,
I'm using a c2125 with WM6.1 and I can't get any ringtones, including the included ones, to work. Vibrate works, speakerphone works but can't get it to play ringtones when selecting one or when someone calls.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
ringtones must be on SD card or in phone memory! and see what profile do you use!! If you use SRS WOW HD see configuration!
I'm not trying to put ringtones on it..just trying to get any sort of ring working. None of them to, even the preloaded rings. I thought it may be the external speaker but speakerphone works (assuming ringtones and speakerphone uses the same speaker)
uninstall every programm concerning your home screen. it's true and pitty about WM6.1

If anyone has any interest in playing MMF (Yamaha SMAF) ringtones on their devices, here it is. There is one drawback though, either you let every MMF ringtone vibrate to the beat of the music, or you completely disable vibrate altogether. I have a large collection of MMFs and actually prefer them over MP3 ringtones so I didn't mind to kill the vibrate function. Only compatible with WM5 and WM6.
it works on my Tmobile MDA vario II. but mmf files are hard to find in variety on web, and when ringtone music call ends, only vibrator keep calling running continuously .
Hello all,
I did some searches and didn't find a clear answer to this. The phone is an AT&T Tilt reflashed with a HTC based rom. The problem is when bluetooth stereo is enabled, ring/sms tones come out of the bluetooth headset rather than the back speaker on the phone. I have seen suggestions in other forums to uncheck the handsfree profile for the bluetooth heaset, however this does not solve the problem. That merely stops the headset from being able to answer and make phone calls. It has no effect on the ring/sms tones coming out the headset.
If we unselect the stereo bluetooth option, then the ring/sms tones come out the back speaker properly. But then we are unable to listen to music over the headset.
I have not yet tried BTAudio Toggle but plan to later (this is actually my wife's phone so I can't try anything at the moment). But is anyone aware of a solution that will put the notifications on the back speaker and leave other audio over the stereo bluetooth? I came across one post where the person was experiencing exactly this and wanted it switched to the behavior we are experiencing, so I know it's possible. I just don't have any idea how to get it to behave that way.
One odd thing is the alarm clock sounds do come out of the back speaker still. But they are not configured in sounds and notifications.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
UPDATE:
Using BTAudioToggle and setting the audio to the BT headset sends all audio to the headset as expected. Setting the audio back to the back speaker has mixed results. The clock alarms and the ring tone go to the back speaker. All other sounds (all notifications, etc) still go to the BT stereo headset.
I spent about an hour searching through the registry for anything that might fix this and was unable to find anything.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

You now have what would be considered "proper" default behavior. The high priority sounds (phone call & alarms) will come across the speaker and everything else (music, email/sms/mms notification) will come over Bluetooth.
This is due to the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\*]
"Speaker"=dword:1
You'll notice that [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring] and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm] both have this value. Simply add the value to other sound types you wish to be duplicated on the speaker.
Cheers,

Thanks so much for your reply!
Do you know what category applies to SMS notifications or notifications in general?
I saw a reference to a "Notification" category so I created the key and added "Speaker"=dword:1 to it but this did not solve the problem. Did a soft reset to make sure it wasn't a setting that was only read at boot up.
The other sound categories listed don't appear to apply to SMS notifications or notifications in general. So although what you are saying clearly is correct, I'm still not finding the proper keys and values to add to set this the way we would prefer.
Again, thanks for your reply and thanks in advance for any further assistance.
Never mind. I was able to solve it. I added two other dword values to the "Notification" category, did a soft reset and it worked.
The added values were:
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:3
Both were copied from the "Ring" sound category.
Thanks so much for your help!
Same problem
I've got the same problem and was not able to solve it with help from the previous replys in this thread. Any idea how to get the SMS ring tones from the speaker of the phone rather than from the bluetooth handsfree set?

where do you copy these new values
I don't understand where these values should be copied to make the notifications work as I would like them to. Could you be more specific.
Hi,
I have noticed that my phone takes a while to ring if I phone it from another terminal. However, if I have set it to "vibration", it rings much quicker.
Can this be due to the size of the mp3 I use as a rington? I am using a 2.13MB stereo 192 kbps. I am thinking of transforming it to a mono file with lower bitrate, but I have not tested it yet.
¿Do you think this can help? I have also heard that some people have had problems missing calls, due to the time the phone takes to ring. Maybe it is because of this...
Thanks a lot.
Hey boy
I dealt with this problem and I decided that it's better for the OS that the sound file is uncompressed. So the best format that you can set as a ringtone is the plain WAV format. You can convert a some mp3 music loop, not the whole song, to WAV and set it as your phone call ringtone.
But listen: I have found out that there is an interesting thing if you want to hear ALL your call and misscalls: in the Sounds and Notifications section you have an entry that says "Phone: lost call" or something like that. Look for it and choose to play a short sound, for example. This way, even if the phone call is too short to produce any sound, it always plays the sound.
I hope this helps
Thanks for the tip about the notifications for the missed calls. I'll do that.
I am at work now, but I will do some testing with other mp3 formats and with wav files, of course. Thanks again for that tip. Should I use any special format for the wav file (mono, estereo, bits per channel) or would anyone work? Which one is the most common?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I am having some problem with changing ringtones/ playing mp3 songs in my htc touch2 t3333(spl edition).
Till yesterday it was working fine. today morning when i got a call the ringtone changed to some default tone. i tried to change the ringtone in settings/notifications and sounds. every time i try to to change the ringtone, the phone seems to work on it and goes back to default tone. i tried playing different tones from the dropdown menu and it doesnt play. and also when i close the notifications and sounds tab it doesn't close.
i tried playing mp3 files from storage card and nothing seems to happen. i can only play video files from tcp player(i can hear the audio). other than than i am not able to play any audio. and i cannot open the default windows player.
its rather strange that none of the audio files seems to play either in phone or storage.
any advice is appreciated.
thanks

guys any suggestions ?? dont want to hard reset
I have a hard time hearing the LG G2x's ringer even when using really loud or obnoxious ringtones. Is there anything I can do to plug my device into a System, PC, MP3 Player, BT Paired Speakers alone,et.. AND MAKE the Ringtone/Ringer come through these External speakers So that I can hear the ringtone on these really loud OTHER device's Speakers?
I have tried to just plug a 3.5mm (male to male) cord into an expensive MP3 Speaker system, and I was able to hear my audio (music, and application sounds) great, and loud! - but when I put a call into the G2x, the ringer/ringtone was SILENT. I don't know what else to do, there seems to be no options to force ringtone to ring through external speakers (even the PC would be fine if there was an app that had a type of UI on the PC for such a thing, I think mp3 players, or even ipod players may be an answer too, I just don;t know how ir could be set up,... But maybe I'm over-thinking this and it's actually something really simple that one of the more Android-tech-Savvy people can answer. I'm new to the Andriod scene and like the G2x, but I need it to be set to ring through LOUD speakers so I can hear it in another room if need be. Any suggestions would be great!
