All of a sudden none of my .mp3 ringtones will not work on my phone. When I set an .mp3 and test it nothing happens or if the phone rings nothing happens. Then when I exit out of the ringtone application I can see it change back to a .wma. All other ringtone formats work.
I tried changing the registry key Hkey_Current _user Control Panel Sounds Ringtone(0) but it changes back to the .wma ringtone? Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you install a third-party mediaplayer ? AFAIK WM only plays ringtones that are regged to WMP... and if you set another app to play MP3 by default, WMP doesn't know that filetype anymore.

I never thought of that. I did load Win Vibe so I uninstalled it and rebooted the phone, however, I still have the same problem. Is there anything else that I need to change in the registry or elsewhere relating to that? Also, what does AFAIK stand for?
afaik = as far as i know

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!
How do i change the screen tap click sound in windows mobile?
I have looked for the audio file for that sound( the WAV file or whatever they are using) but i cant find it. I would like to change it to something of my own. The default sound is annoying and load (even if you choose the soft click under notification)
Thanks!
Anyone please can figure this out ?
I found many notifications audio but not the screen tap audio...
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
Hi guys.
Just updating my desire S to Virtuous Rom with ICS I was setting up my phone and encountered a problem. In GB with Sense 3 I setted my ringtone in the sound menu or selecting the song in the music player, and using options I was able to set it up as phone ringtone. Now in ICS, neither in the sound menu nor in the music player this option is available, I know I can use ringdroid, but I was wondering if there's still and option present in android itself to perfom this
Thanks a lot ^^
If you want to set up some song as ringtone you have to create folder Ringtones on SD card and place that song there. After rebooting you can to set that song as ringtone in the sound menu.

This is a tricky one
Yes, I also have this thing, but I can't say if it is a bug. A phone is supposed to play a ringtone repeatedly, right? I don't see an option to set my OPO to do so either.
I found out that it depends on the ringtone files. Some play repeatedly, some don't. You can test this just by selecting a ringtone in the ringtone setting and see if it plays once or repeatedly.
Workaround: I add the following metadata tag to my ringtone files and save them as Ogg Vorbis files.
ANDROID_LOOP = true
Note: There are some free apps that can do this on Windows/Mac.
