Hi
I have a QTEK 2020i and I don't find a way to setup a mp3 ringtone.
If in file explorer I found a .wav or .mid I can open the shortcut menu and there is an option "Set as Ringtone". But with a mp3 file such option doesn't appear.
Also on Start/Settings/System/Add Ring Tone, mp3 files are not listed.
I finally tried to copy a mp3 file into \windows\rings directory.
The file appears in Start/Settings/Personal/Phone but doesn't play.
How can I set a mp3 file as a ringtone?
My regards
Ruka
use file explorer and navigate to Windows>Rings and drop ur mp3 into there
Hi
As I wrote on my first post, I've already tried that solution.
If I copy a mp3 file to windows\rings, it will appear as a ringtone (in Phone in Settings), but if I select it, it is rejected (it won't play, and when I press ok it will revert to Windows default ringtone).
I've seen on other posts that other people can setup a mp3 ringtone, but I can't. I wonder if it is some additional software release by some mobile phone company.
My regards
R.
hope this will help you.....
Don't work
Sorry.
Download and install then on the 2020i.
Even tried with a reset.
Nothing changes. Still can't set a mp3 file as a ringtone.
Where did you get these files: they say Helmi Mp3 RingTones.
Is there a site where I can check if there is another version of them?
Thanks anyway
Use a registry editor, then locate:
1) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 - Default = WMAFile
2) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\DefaultIcon - Default = wmplayer.exe,-2001
3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\command - Default = wmplayer.exe "%1"
It worked!!!
Actually I only had to change the first registry setting, (.mp3 - Default = WMAPlayer).
The other two settings were already there!!
And it worked!!!
I have PocketMusic installed and the .mp3 default setting pointed to it.
I always wonder why if those equipment could support mp3, why I couldn't set one as a ringtone.
The only thing that is still different (from the .wav or .mid files), although not important at all for me, is that I still don't have the "set as a ringtone" in the shortcut menu when I click on a mp3 file. I guess that via registry that could also be set.
Thank you very much
Ruka
Done that too!!!
Hi
I search the registry for the string "Set as ringtone"
and found it at
HKCR\wavfile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4 ... }
with the values:
Default = Set as ringtone
DelayLoad = 1
Then I created the same structure inside HKCR\WMAFile.
Since
HKCR\WMAFile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{E88B4... }
were already there (although witn no contents), I only had to create the values Default (as string) and DelayLoad (as number)
Thank you all again

Is it possible to have Ogg files as ringtones ?
u can set mp4 files as ring tones.
i converted my fav mp3 to mp4 using nero wave editor.
copy the your_music.mp4 to any folder and right click set as ring-tone
it'll tell u that it has copied your music to the windows\rings folder
and thats it :d
i don't even have settings-syste-set as ringtone and i can use my wav music only with sms not with incoming call, help?

this worked great even with TCPMP assigned to mp3... thx!
okay so this broke again... solution was not change .mp3 to wmafile but look down for registry key "wmafile" and there is "shellex" key or something. I've copied that key to "mp3file" key and so it works with whatever association.

Hi bro
how to set mp3 as ringtone at dopod 838?
did they must installed some software for that ?
just point a second your stylus on one MP3 file. and there is another pop will apear then click set ringtone. hope its help
what I do is install this: http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/phoneprofiles.shtml
then I copy the mp3 files I want to use as ringtone to \windows
in the phoneprofile app, i then just choose the ringtone.
I tried searching and did not see a similar topic, so I am posting this new one.
I have tried to move a ringtone to \windows\rings
I have tried to adapt the registry setting to change the ring directory to a different place
I have confirmed that I am using the Ring option for the Ring Type, as opposed to Vibrate or any of the other settings under the settings-->phone menu--I do see the ring tone options and have tried the windows ones as well
Any other suggestions I can try to enable ringing?
i put my ring tones in ram disk.(wave files)
Thank you for your reply. I tried to switch my ringtone folder to Storage Card and RamDisk--though the ringtones appeared as options, they would not play when the phone rang.
Are there other things I can try?
i just put ring tone in ram folder.

what media type is your ringtone? wav, mp3, wma? all of these types can be used when located in \windows, \windows\rings, \Ramdisk root & \Storage Card root.
may i suggest trying out one of the default PPC ringtones if it plays when moved into any of the directories above.

I tried moving copies of the files into the folders you mentioned--it showed the duplicates as options for the ringtones, but unfortunately did not work. I used the oldphone.wav. Any other ideas?
opps
thought you whould have change the name a little
like putting a 1 in front of the tone name.
I just ended up reinstalling the ROM. Not sure what the cause was... as I uninstalled everything I added... Oh well... all is good now...
This is driving me mad! For the life of me my Kaiser won't let me change the phone's ringtone from the standard. When I open an MP3 in audiomanager then choose set as ringtone, I get the error message "there was an error copying the ring tone to \my documents\ my ringtones. The ringtone could not be set. Please verify you have enough room on your device and try again", i've even tried manually copying mp3's to the \my ringtones directory, I can view them but they don't play in the ringtone selection screen (they play OK in audiomanager), even if I select a different mp3 in the sounds and notifications screen and select OK, my kaiser defaults automatically back to the standard ringtone. Oh, there's loads of space free as well - about 47mb.
Any ideas?
mp3 extension
Did you change the program for the .mp3 extension?
I noticed the same behaviour when I assigned the mp3 extensions to MortPlayer:
my ringtone would revert back to the default and choosing the mp3 ringtone wouldn't work.
After unchecking the mp3 extension within MortPlayer, I could choose a mp3 ringtone again.
Thanks a lot dude - will give this a go.
Hi,
after try and fail of the Vibe player (or something similar), because i don't like the media player the fileassociation is lost.
How can i rearrange the files back to the MP?
And another question is there any player wich is similar to Winamp?
or any other good advice for playing mp3?
THANKS!!
OK... To find out how to change the File Assocs was easy. When i start investing some more time in it.
But(Why is there always a but?) when changing the File Assoc now mediaplayer starts, but with an error. It says that the Path is not correct.
In the properties of the playlist item i can see that "/Internal Storage/Music/ is missing so i entered these values manually in front of the %1 parameter.
But... that doesnt change anything. The Path will no be recognized.
How can i do that?
Thanks!
So... at least i found out myself...
Just set the %1 in parameters into doublequotes (").
That was all...
And for refreshing WMP library just close WMP.
Delete MSMETADATA and WMDRM directories from Internal Storage.
Start WMP again and refresh library.
mp3 file associations - RSS Hub and TF3D player
1st_Xypher,
I have a related issue with mp3 file assocations.
For me, I use RSS Hub to automatically download my mp3 podcasts, but the problem is, is when I click on the podcast in RSS Hub (after it is downloaded, WMP is launched to play it).
I don't want WMP to launch and play the podcast, I want TF3D player to play the podcast.
So, I think I have to:
1) change the mp3 file assocation in Windows mobile to TF3D - but I have no idea where to do this. I have looked in the registry but I am a bit of a lamen.
2) Mod the registry for RSS Hub, but again, I don't know how to do this.
Do you experience similiar issues with RSS Hub? and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.
I have the same problem.
My file association for MP3 is gone. No idea how to get it back.
All my ringtones that ive used now dont work and the phone uses the default windows ringtone when i get a call.
sigh
The same thing happened to me when I installed a media player. I used total commander to fix the association, it worked.
However, media player can play .mp3 but I cannot use .mp3 as ringtones???I can select them, but they will not play. The default phone ringtones are .wma, how can I use .mp3 ones??
Bump...this is so important..!!

Use the File Explorer(Not 3rd party File Explorere) from /Start/Programs, goto the Music folder where you place your .mp3 file. Click & Hold, a drop-panel appeal select "Set as ringtone"
Hmm...thanks man, but there is no such choice...
I only get:
"cut,copy, rename,delete,send, beam file" .....
any other ideas guys??
....bump...
Why don't you try Schaps Advanced Config?? on the right context menu there's an option File Associations??
That should do the trick....so start advanced config and tap on 'menu' and then File associations
Hope this will help you all..

...the association is fixed, I can select and play .mp3 files now with media player BUT when I select them as contact ringtones (in the contacts information tab) they WON'T FUNCTION...no sound, NOTHING...while the default .wma ringtones work fine...
other ideas??
i got a similar problem but its with image files. I recently installed coreplayer and it took the file extentions jpg jpeg png etc over i removed them from coreplayer and now none work with i click on them. I will give this mentioned total commander a try and that other one. I hope one of them works!!!
Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to change the sound of an incoming message into an mp3 file or so? I can change it in the standard sounds but want to use my own file. Is it possible?
Of course it is ! Not easy to guess at first, but I found a way to enable this.
You basically need to copy your .mp3 file (and remember its name to locate it after in the list) in the Windows folder of your device. It's a little long to load, don't be afraid, but then just paste the mp3 file in the windows folder, nowhere else, at its root.
Finally, go to sound configuration (parameters, system...) and set your mp3 file as the default SMS tone.
Enjoy !
That didnot work for me. It works when I press the "PLAY" button when configuring it but the only way it sound when I get a SMS is if I use a .wav file on the Windows folder mp3 dont work for me on SMS althoug the work on call tunes.
convert it to .wav then
