Hi, yesterday everything was OK, today my kaiser stops playing mid files as ringtone (WMP still playing that files). How can I repair this? Any solution?
regards
The same thing has happened to me...and still have not figured out what is wrong. The only thing i can think of is that i installed the new camera cab but even when i uninstalled it nothing happens...
Any thoughts???

Same here.
I have done some checking tonight. It seems to be most of the MIDI files I have uploaded to the phone that don't work as a ring tone but they did before.
They all work fine in Mediaplayer on the phone if you click on them in File Explorer.
Is very strange. I even moved then to the same directory as those that do work and still they don't work.
same thing here. And I too installed the new camera. sigh...
It happened to me before. What I did was to restore to a previous backup. I didn't know where I messed things up with a lot of installations I did.
It happened to me before with my Alpine device. The way I solved it is to use explorer like software (ex. GFinder+) to re-associate the MID file to the internal Media player and it's solved.
I think maybe some software mess around with the association and cause this problem.
Please let other know if this works or not if anyone tried

But this files are working with WMP (so there is nothing wrong with association), they just don't work as ringtone.
So, anyone found a solution to this problem???
I am having hard time with the original ringtones...
Nikos.
I have the same issue and eveb the hard reset does not work !
Fixing Ringtones
I had this problem and worked out how to fix it.
Look at the following Reg Key (change midifile to mp3file for mp3 issues)
Delete any EventSoundHandlers already in place and add this Key.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]
@="XME EventSound Player"
Problem fixed.

Hi there, this is my first post on this great board.
First, thanks to all of you for helping me solve loads of problems with my Tilt. Thanks to xda-dev, my phone is really tricked out and great to work with (albeit with crippled video). This site is a fantastic resource, and populated with some very smart and talented people. I've been visiting this site every day since December, when I got my Tilt.
Up until now I've been able to solve all my problems just by reading the Wiki and searching, and I wouldn't start a new thread unless I'd already searched (MANY times) for an answer... but this one's driving me crazy.
Windows Media player will not open. When I click the icon, or an associated file, nothing happens. I don't particularly like WMP, I use CorePlayer instead... but WMP is needed for MP3 or WAV ringtones. So, when I try to select one, I get a message saying "This ringtone file is corrupt or unavailable."
The most relevant thread I could find was here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-266527.html. Obviously the problem didn't get solved.
While searching, I also read about some other player (Pocket Music, I think) has the capacity to kill WMP, but I've never installed it. I only use CorePlayer and TCPMP.
I've tried deleting the MSMETADATA and WMDRM folders, I've tried checking file associations, and a few other things as well... No luck.
My phone is a bone-stock AT&T Tilt, no custom ROM. I'm really trying to avoid a hard-reset. Does anyone happen to know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.
Try uninstalling Core Media Player
Thanks for the quick reply... I've tried uninstalling CorePlayer (and lots of other things), with no luck.
By way of a shameless bump...
I should add that .AMR and MIDI files still work as ringtones, but every other (useful) format does not.
Also, I was wondering if anyone has some kind of .CAB file of the actual WMP files, just in case I can fix this with a reinstall. I don't really know how much it would help, since WMP is already in ROM, but I'd really love to solve this without a hard reset if I can.
Thanks again, everyone.
OK... I feel bad bumping this again, but I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I waited for a good month before I posted, trying to figure my own way out of this mess, and this is my last resort. This will be my last bump, I promise.
Has no one else run into this issue? Windows Media Player is dead. It won't open, and I'm fairly certain it's why my WAV or MP3 ringtones don't work.
I'd appreciate ANY ideas, no matter how off-the-wall they might sound... and if anyone has a cab file for WMP, that's also be a great help.
Thanks again for all you guys do.
Sounds like you have corrupted wmp registry, try the attached cab it will restore wmp registry (soft reset after install to apply changes).
Thank you VERY much, sakajati... but unfortunately, installing this cab (and soft-resetting) didn't work for me. I got pretty hopeful for a second there.
In case it matters, I got that post-install message about the software not working properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile. I'm on a stock, unflashed, noob-approved Tilt.

That's strange! that error message should not pop up if you are really running wm6, you can ignore the message since it's only a warning and is not an error.
Just curious, did you really install it on wm6 device?
Yes, my Tilt is running WM6 Pro. I haven't done any 6.1 upgrading.
Ok I've build full wmp10 installer for you, grab it while you can!
Wow... Thanks so much for going out of your way to help me here.
Bad news, though, it didn't work... I still get the same problem. I click the icon, and absolutely nothing happens.
Just switch to pocket music, it is light years ahead of WMP in my opinion. I needed a player that worked with my bluetooth headphones, had an equalizer and an easy playlist manager. WMP does fit in some ways but it's interface sucks.
Jeff
I agree Jeff, I mainly use TCPMP or CorePlayer... the only reason I want WMP to work is because while it's broken, I can't use MP3 and WAV ringtones.

I had the same problem in that for some strange reason my WMP refuse to start and the system always freezes forcing me to soft reset. Your cab has solved my problem. Thanks a million
Hi, I have the same issue with my Trinity running original WM5 rom. Is it possible to find a clear full WMP9 installer for it, so I can hope to fix this annoying problem ? Thanks !
I ended up having to hard-reset to fix the problem. I was about due for some spring cleaning anyway.
I have a stock rom Blackjack II AT&T branded phone and have experienced this problem twice now. The first time around I ended up hard-resetting the phone to get media player and mp3 ringtones to work again.
This time I've tried installing the "full wmp10 installer" cab so linked above in this thread, but still a no go.
If anyone has even an off-handed guess at what might be causing this problem and/or how I might fix it without a hard-reset I would be forever grateful to hear it!
It seems like this might be a recurring problem on this phone, so I'm desperate to either figure out what's causing it or at least come up with a reasonably quick fix for it when it does happen.
Hi!
Sorry have to bump this thread too. My WMP doesn't start any more and I don't really want to use backup from 2 weeks ago. I tried installing both cabs with no result.
Is there some kind of debugging feature that can be used to track down the problem?

First off, Yes i did search.
I recently got my Touch Diamond, acctually 5 hours ago.
Now I am struggeling to get music on the device. Been doing it for 3 hours now, but nothing seems to work.
I selected ActiveSync on the touch phone, and then went to windows media player on the PC and synced music. but the device says "no music found".
Exploring the folders i noticed the music did get into the MUSIC folder.
And the application from the disc which was delivered within the box does not want to install at all..
What am I doing wrong? Am I just a stupid retard or does the device have some problem?
well, I didn't bother to use WMP at all. I hate WMP.
So I manually transferred the music to \Internal Storage\Content\Music
Did you try restarting your phone? Did you leave it on the music tab for a while?
I also tried mannually yes. and no it did not work.
Restarting the phone : multiple times and no didnt leave it on the music tab.
Im going to kill this stupid thing I am really getting frustrated by now!
same prob here.. manual says any subfolder of \Internal storage but music tab goessearching for a minute and then displays 'no music'. using Duttys 1.5 ROM.
Guys, first go to WMP and refresh the library from there. Then, HTC's player will see the new library. Also make sure you select \Internal.
Also see my just-posted related bible in the General forum.
Good to know that I am not alone...
A diffrent question: in the "internet" tab it says: open in browser "youtube" "explore windows moble" "HTC" How do I close these..
I dont know if my system is broke or that im a complete retard. anyways If i cant solve this ill sell my phone and get a normal phone instead of pda/smartphone -.-;''
EDIT: NVM, it said open internet browser not open IN. stupid mee..

Where in the "general forum" to find your tips?
How do you people copy all music in \internal?
All mp3 files together or something like:
\internal\bruce springsteen\magic
with all songs from that cd
then
\internal\bruce springsteen\born to run
.....
Thanks

The HTC does not find anything.
This thing will not last any longer if this goes on.. I am very impatient and get verry frustrated and the phone will look like a bashed up diamond soon enough.
EDIT: Now the phone does not find photo's funny, this was supposed to be my iphone killer but it seems that M$ Mobile is a phone killer to me.

It may sound pointless but create a folder on Internal Storage called Music and then put your music in it, do a soft-reset, switch to the Music tab and wait about 5 seconds. You should see the music then.
So it would be Internal Storage\Music\Indestructible (where Indestructible is an album)

When you take the stylus out of its place, there's a little red button inside the hole where the stylus goes- press it in with the tip of the stylus

Waited 5 seconds, and again no music found. What the **** is wrong with this thing
When you switch to the Music tab, does it say Searching? it takes up to 5-7 seconds sometimes. Also try clicking the Library softkey and see if you can't sort by Artist, Album, etc. What format are your music files in?
Dude, you saved my day and my phone.
It listed my 2 artist 30STM and Disturbed.
Also listed songs i previously deleted the original songs.
Thanks alot! Ill look into how i can get to to work normal later. Now I can finally Blow my arms of at the gym.
( I just needed music so badly @ the gym )

Excellent!
I wouldn't be surprised if it works normally from the Music tab now anyway. The phone has now "seen" your files so it should be fine. Put the attached file in your Indestructible folder incase you don't have it already, that way you'll get the album art in TF3D
Although this has been commented on in several threads already, I haven't seen a dedicated thread on the problem so here goes.
With all the media players I have tried so far (HTC’s, TCPMP, Windows Media Player and PocketPlayer), there is a noticeable pop or skip in the music every few minutes.
I have tried several things to try and fix it but to no avail. What's worse is that I now know this happens every five minutes EXACTLY. I end up looking at my watch just to confirm it's the problem every time I hear any glitch!
Things I have tried to cure the problem (all tests performed after a soft reset):
- In PocketPlayer (my player of choice) I have tried virtually every permutation for the buffer and decoder priority settings
- I have stopped all non-essential services and killed almost all the processes I can
- I have disabled TouchFlo 3D with no Today plug-ins running
- Tested in ‘Airplane Mode’
- Ensured no application is set to get updates from the internet automatically such as Weather and RSS feeds
This is really frustrating for me as I opted for the HTC Touch Diamond as an all-in-one device only to discover that MP3 playback is unusable.
NOTE: I am using an adaptor for wired head phones or a connection to my car’s head unit. I do not have Bluetooth headphones for testing. I am using RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship with minimal tweaks applied (mainly cosmetic ones).
If you have similar problems or any suggestions, please let me know!
Been there.. done that. Exactly 5mins it is.
The new OS build (20273) makes the pauses less. The older Build used to be worse! Still waiting for HTC to fix.

Actually Step 3 & 4 can be skip, the main reason to let those not sure or confuse how to manage the folders within the "InternalStorage"
Important is creating "folder.jpg" in our Touch Diamond. (Recognised by TD)
Some music files especially mp3 with built-in Album Arts also give problem.
All the above, based on my few tests & tries . . . .

The music files on my Diamond was transfered to the device together with a folder.jpg for each album. So that can't be the cause. I don't know if my files have build-in album arts, but I doubt that they all have it. So since all the albums on my device have this problem, I doubt that build-in album art has anything to do with this either. Of course I could be wrong...
Did you have this problem before you did this your new way?

Yes. TD will automatically generate "folder.jpg" that's why I do 1 step ahead to create 1.
I delete all my mp3 files from TD InternalStorage(I got backup in my PC) . . . then I create lots of FOLDERS with each Singer names. Copy all my mp3 files to individually to each different Singer FOLDER, create each FOLDER with their individual Singer's image and renamed with "folder.jpg" and place within the FOLDER.
After that rename the "AudioManager_Eng.vol" to "AudioManager_Eng.vol.vol" (because can/t delete), do a soft reset.
Everything go fine.View attachment 106724

Thanks for the tips. I wasn't really considering going the custom ROM route just yet but it looks like I need to bite the bullet if it is the only solution to the sound pop/glitch issue. I noticed in the change log that there is mention of a sound fix for Audio Manager ('No more pausing bugs'), I take it this will also apply to other media players? As I only want to use PocketPlayer which, ironically, seems to exhibit this the problem the most, can someone confirm if they have an issue with this player using the SwiftBL 5.6 ROM?
I thing that nothing will happen while somebody report to HTC and do big bubble like with graphic drivers for Kaiser...
So i need some help. I have been trying to set a ringtone as a text notification but no luck! :[ I had no problem with this until after i deleted all that at&t junk. I've tried copy & paste into windows file and ringtone file. Someone anyone HELP ME! THANKS!
more info required
you would need to say what rom you are using?, what format the tones you are using are in ?, what exactly are you trying to put in the windows folder?
have you tried any other apps to achieve this.. which app were you using to do it before? what did you remove?
i use ringo (comercial software) but there are freeware options out there with a bit of searching... i seem to remember seeing a mortscript that was set up to do this somewhere on xda. which users seemed to report worked quite well.

I use the stock rom. I haven't upgraded to any other rom. I am trying to put a song into the windows file so i can change the text notification to the song of my choice. I have not tried any other apps only because i know of none. lol. I'm not sure what app i was using if any. But all i remember is i had absolutely no trouble with this until i deleted the at&t junk on the tilt. By the way i appreciate your help. My apologies for not responding sooner.
Oh, i forgot to mention the formats: mp3 and wmv. The ringtone that i want is set to mp3. It was mp3 the first time it worked and it still is mp3 and now it doesn't work.

All mp3's need to be associated with Media Player or else they will not play as ringtones. Perhaps you have installed another music player which has changed the file associations. You need to change it back to WM Player. Let us know if this is your problem.
Hasta luego,

Is the ringtone over 500KB? When I still used AT&T stock ROMs, I learned that files over 500KB would not work as ringtones unless I installed this fix. Hope that helps,
Dave
(And I assume you're putting the potential ringtones in \My Documents\Ringtones)
So i figured out how to put songs as a ringtone. So now i want a song as a text notification. And nothing seems to work. :[ Also i installed xda-team_manilla2d.cab and the weather isn't working it wont allow me to add a location and the settings sounds tab isn't working either. help?
